Lol, dark force/alien force uniting humanity for survival is a recurrent theme in sci-fi. Agree some of the dialogues/monologues were not my favorite lines, but understand this is not about the story. It took me a while to get this as I've only played linear campaign stories. This is more like episodic tales to guide you through the game. No point A to point B clear beginning and ending. No clear hero to guide you. You are the hero and have been given carte blanche to make your own fun. Haven't been able to play as much as I want to because life gets in the way, but at level 8, I've barely scratched the surface. This is not like any games I've played before, loving it.
