What happened to Angel seemed like cheap drama to me, too. With the added "benefit" of allowing another romance plotline for Blair. It overall just seemed like a less mature, more melodramatic story than the previous two games.
- jbm 6y agoYeah, I had completely forgotten the plot where the Captain of the Concordia and a former fighter pilot is sent on a commando mission (!). We never even find out why the Concordia was sunk (although I assume it was in some book). I think a lot of this stems from Roberts' not-so-secret desire to be a movie director; my guess was he was trying to streamline it to make things more "cinematic", but the end result was as you see. (The ill-received Wing Commander movie didn't cure him of this apparently) The more I think about it, the more I agree with you; WC really did peak with WC2 for me. I didn't buy WC4, and only bought Prophecy years afterwards on sale for 15$. Meanwhile, I actually bought WC2 on release (despite having more precarious finances), and both Secret Operations.
