Wildstar

Wildstar takes place on the newly discovered planet Nexus, which was previously home to an advanced alien race called the Eldan. The Eldan have disappeared, however, leaving numerous mysterious artifacts and technologies. Nexus is contended land, being claimed by both the Dominion and the Exiles. The Dominion is an empire that seeks to control the galaxy, while the Exiles are a group of refugees and outlaws driven from their lands by the Dominion. As the game progresses, players will find out more about the Eldan and what took place on Nexus.

There are several alien races for players to choose from, as well as some non-playable ones. Additionally, players can choose a class specialty (such as medic or warrior) and a "path" (such as explorer or scientist).

Like in most MMORPGs, players can save and quit at almost any point, but the in-game world will continue on without them.

• Why do you think the female character models look more overtly human than the male models? Why do you suppose the female character models were given human breasts, despite being (for example) reptilian?
• Where do you think the trope of "ancient, highly advanced civilization disappears" comes from? Does it have historical precedent? What about future precedent?
