actually it was right on point, and you demonstrated it well, if nintendo decides it is appropriate to add a blue hedgehog to their world, well it is their world, but if someone else adds it to a game based on thier worl, they cannot claim to be true to the original world, I am not debating that adding an elf race to helliconia might improve the level of 'fun', but it totaly *** F**** the world as described by Brian Aldiss, my problem is more that it is claimed to be a <Insert Developed World with Storyline> MU*, but we added some other stuff, don't add the other stuff, or don't call you MU* a <Insert Developed World with Storyline> BASED MU*, maybe put somewhere it is inspired by the original story, but please, please, please do not claim it is remotely true to the original vision.
This obviously has levels, a MU* based on forgotten realms has a lot of leeway, there is sooo much room for interpretation, The Wheel of Time however has a rich and well documented world and history, there has never been a drawvern city mentioned, or even hinted at, Stormtroopers have never ever in any of the books or movies or games, EVER worn a bronze breastplate, or broadsword.
