2-It might be exciting if it was based off the wild west but the WoR implies utopia.

3- I am holding off on my judgement on the relic plot but right now I am not excited for it. Mainly because it strays too far from the motifs and themes set up in the beacon arc. 1-That was realism.

2-..........No it doesn't. Your definition of Utopia must be horrendously wrong, if you really think that.

The WoR basically described it as a land that was once Utopia-like, but now it's just a wasteland, any beauty ruined thanks to all the foreign capitalists that decided to come uninvited and mine all the Dust without a single damn about the people or the land.

It's like Borderlands's Pandora - E-3+ version.

3-What motifs and what themes?

If you mean the whole "Fairy Tales and Myths and Legends" bit........it was always a theme in name only. Beyond mere references here and there, there is no relation to those things in Remnant nor the characters.

It's like they're just there as a cheap attempt at making the world feel "special", but with no actual effort put to following the idea for real. Hell, in some cases (or rather, most cases), the characters and their allusions are completely different, and any resemblance to the allusion is vague at best.
