Like Warhammer lore is digestible because it's very self aware that it's ridiculous.

Battletech unfortunately is really self serious. The different houses of the Inner Sphere are basically a rough sketch of what a redditor thinks America, Europe, Russia, and China are and Japan.

Then you have the clans who are basically exiled nazis with a handful of quirky social progressive quirks.

This. Is a shame because Battletech and MechWarrior are really cool.

But the understanding of states of any stripe is basically what a redditor thinks if they were also from the 80s.

I think I would appreciate sci fi that werent blisteringly inaccurate and vulgar appropriations of real modern day states. God damn.

The "lore" is just window dressing for having a game with stompy robots punching one another. That's it. Same with Warhammer really

Yeah. I love big stompy robots anyway.

Maurader 2 looks sick
