Every time I'm in any sort of interaction with the Hissho, I just can't stop thinking about the Turians...


The Alkari are a far closer match then the Turians, being from the same genre.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

It's called hot-linking and a lot of sites really really don't like it.  It uses their bandwidth for another site to display pictures.

Very aware of that fact. Just a momentary bout of the "too lazy to reupload".

Im thinking, if we get this sorta awesome stuff as the standard races, what the hell is gonna come up when you can make your own?

I love how original some of these origin stories are turning out.

Not all are exactly original, of course.

"A race of [avian] warriors, they were by tradition hunters that lived in a loose federation of clans and nations."

"Even after centuries of civilization, the Hissho have maintained their respect for honorable conflict and view valor as a more important skill than diplomacy."

Every time I'm in any sort of interaction with the Hissho, I just can't stop thinking about the Turians...
Well, no. Expecting every origin story to be a unique, well-crafted masterpiece would be asking a lot, I think :P

Even so, the races so far have all gotten a nice presentation so I'm willing to accept it.

It looks interesting, but... Pre-purchase is only available on Steam and nowhere else?

Heck, that description could also be seamlessly applied to the Yehat of Star Control 2. It seems like bird races in general get this treatment a lot.
