The game world doesnt make sense to me, and I think thats part of my greater problem with Xsyon. How can you have the fall of technology, a complete loss of everything modern, and yet people remember how to build structures, tools, and clothing that is not simple in anyway shape or form? When you have weapons like Axes, Clubs, and knives, but no swords or spears? I understand he hasnt got around to making ranged weapons yet, so archery is out for now. But seriously I am to believe that no one has thought to make chainmail, or even a metal breastplate or coat of plates out of scrap metal? But I am to run around in salvaged jean jackets and leather shoulder pads?

Its one of those little things that has been bothering me for a while about the game concept, and I think thats why I couldnt really get into Xsyon.
