2012 a bit unrealistic.

[pluzoid]

The Mayan's did not predict end of the world, they created the calender we currently use, but it went upto 2012. It's only speculated that something could happen that would mean no more years after 2012, maybe they just ran out of ink...

Actually mayan's did predict the end, but not of the world. The end of an AGE, according their astronomic calendar it's the end of the age of pisces and blablabla, i'm southamerican (so i know the real version not the holywood one). The scary part is that predictions for astronomical realignments are accurate :S

what?... never mind

hmmmmm... FABLE, yeah that free's the game to be set in anytime. +1

"Fable" does it for me I suppose.

We're not using the Mayan calendar.

I'd like to know more about the lore.

I'm amost certain we are not in 2012. 2012 is the past, where something happened. A rift has been opened and something changed the world forever. More, ingame's totems way we are in 2037. The green fog seems "surper natural". Do you know the movie (or the book), "The Mist" ? Or maybe we are in a kind of "Trueman show". The gods did something because we can't be killed. We can age and maybe die from age, but everythime we die, we come back to life. Maybe we've nuked ourselves, but "something" did "something" so we are alive today.

The accurate realignments from maya predictions would basically be because they knew their astronomy.

2012 is asking you to suspend your disbelief.

What makes you so sure we'll be playing Xsyon in 2012... AND NOT LIVING IT!?

I wouldn't mind playing xsyon irl, as it seems like everything gets wiped and you can restard

[windoze]

I don't know if the devs was inspired by Stephen King or not, but the fog etc smells alot like The Dark Tower series(The Mist is also written by Stephen King and fits perfectly within the dark tower universe). I won't post any details here as I don't want to spoil anything for thoose who hasn't read the books, but if they where inspired by King it might be a hint to why it could be 2012 both for us and in the Xsyon universe.
