About the Storyline

from Sins Forums
I was just wondering how the storyline will be presesnted in Sins. I'm not overly concerned but just curious to know if anyone has some sort of knowledge on the way it will be. Will it be presented with real human actors guiding you through the Sin's universe by interverled cut-scenes like in Command & Conquer 3? Will it be presented with virtual cut-scenes of the charachters voiced-over by actors? Wil it just be short and sweet briefs with the option of perhaps it being read to you or you reading it? Of course, I assumed in the first 2 questions that there are a set of charachters for the storyline, which I assumed because of the confederate attired guy in the left corner and the drugged up lady with the white dress and the Vasari alien 'guy?' with the cane from the old website, but, I am not entirely sure there are charachters in the game because of how this game appears to at the moment to solely revolve around ships.
Any responces would be great,

Yea lol no i think when u start a game u start in the middle of the war that would be the only way u could play as the advent because they where the last race ot start fighting in the war.

There won't be any campaigns in the traditional sense in Sins. Storyline elements will be presented in the opening movie and in a special gameplay mode.

Opening movie sounds good, but whats the special gameplay mode?

hmm that is a pity, I was hoping there would have been campaigns, seems a bit odd really to go through all this trouble of adding races and everything else but no campaigns, unless this special gameplay mode tells the story of each race? really hope then at some point we can make our own campaigns to substitute for the lack of campaigns? that would be at least something

hmmm thats a bit of a bummer... but then again this game is gonna shine in Multiplayer, and thats where I'll be most of the time anyway... Very few people ever play the single player aspect of a game more than once through...

I do hope there is a bit of back story at least for each race if you pick them for single player.

I think I might (and I might not either) understand Yarlens post about there not being any 'traditional' missions as we are used to. Sins is an extremely epic game, possibly more so than Halo, but without a storyline or (for the lack of a better word) guided screenplay throughout the game I am sort of confused about how they plan on acheiving that grand scale of things. Whatever the developers do is fine with me, but I was just thinking that maybe the new form of "missions" might be a more multi-dimensional storyline in the more perfected format of the Rise of Nations games combined with the alternate conclusions as had in the Xbox game Fable.
Just another thought again,
J

I thought all the campaigns were going to be a bunch of skirmish missions...
