Oh, I see, it's the old strawman argument. Weak.

Thought so.

I'm waiting for the pills to kick in.

Dynamic campaigns are a rarity in the flight sim world as well. AFAIK
Falcon 4 is the only flight sim that gets credit in this area. I think Mig
Alley was supposed to have one but it CTD even worse that Derek's stuff.

Try looking at Starshatter for a space sim with a dynamic campaign.

Actually I think everyone who can't get into UC is misguided about what the
reality of UC is. My conclusion is that UC is a game for people who long
for the good ole days of using your imagination when playing a game. It has
a deep fictional universe with lots of things to assist one in using his
imagination. My closest analogy is comes from the days when I was a kid and
I used to lay out all my army men and associated toys and create my own
entertainment. If, like most people you bought the game to be entertained
then you will probably be disappointed. But that doesn't mean it can't have
a valid reason to exist or that there aren't people who enjoy this sort of
thing.

True dynamic campaigns are a rarity for the gaming world in general. I
would argue that UC does infact have a "dynamic campaign" in-so-far-as
that even though the actual campaign is scripted, it certainly doesn't
mean that the actual gameplay will be the same everytime.

Once the autogeneration kicks in, you can never guarantee that what
worked last time will work this time.

I tried Starshatter, and I liked it alot, but it's not the "sandbox"
game that is my preference.

Excellent post! I don't think I could've said it better.
