Then there was a distinct sense of the right side, and the wrong side. Everybody accepts that the Scions were the protagonists of BZ2. Either side could be the protagonists at the moment.

Except that you choose a side, so if you choose Hadeans you'll be teamed up with him,

this is why we cant have one distinct bad guy.

Paternus and Nexus? Or is this before their time?
Others would merely say it was good humour.

They're alive, but millions of miles away on Icarus.

Well, you're not fighting on Icarus, so I'm not sure how closely Paternus and Nexus are watching this little "battle."

Edit: Dangit, AHadley, beat me by a couple of seconds.

Question: If either side you chose does not have a defiant protagonist as of now, who can say is the real bad guy? :|
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it

A story without a definite antagonist is a bad story. It's missing a primary part.

 :| not fully understanding this here, so there is no actual good or bad guy?

No, its a more intelligent story.

Do you not know what a story is made of? It has to have a definite antagonist. I didn't say the antagonist had to be a person. I didn't say it had to be singular either, but it has to have a definite antagonist.

Clavin: You're 14.  You don't yet know what a good story needs.

Drop it.

My dad's a writer. I've taken several classes from him. I've got books and all sorts of references. I've even written some (nothing I'd post here). I think I do know what a story needs. A Protagonist, an Antagonist, a Major Conflict, a Climax, and a Resolution. These are the basics of a story. Without an Antagonist the story is missing something.

A story does not need an antagonist.  Most have one, but that is only because it makes it easier for readers to distinguish "right" from "wrong."  If you need a definite antagonist, look elsewhere.

perhaps we could make it that whichever side you join, some piece of information is learned about them that makes the player feel the opposite side ifs the definite antagonist

Clavin. Your dad is a writer. Let's say that's half a point.

Mr X and myself are both writers. Let's say that's two points.

What wins?
