I think once again, you got me wrong. Luria beaten or not, i do not really care. Neither is Asylon. I was too short a period in both realms before all this happened. But the whole continent as a whole. Even on a winning side, are you actually really enjoying the game?
Actually I do. This game rocks. I've only started playing less than two months ago so I'm not spoiled by grognard syndrome yet.
No one in the continent is trying to make it more interesting or make it more controversial. Everyone is trying to go for the best path that you won't lose.
I guess I see what you mean.
But suggesting that players should intentionally make poor decisions is not an effective solution. The only way to change this situation is to change the rules.
And I think DMs will come up with new mechanics like realm attrition to add a drop of entropy into the mix. Monster invasion and ice age are a good start anyway.
