The Epic Generator. One of the most popular community building features of Galactic Civilizations II was Stardock's release of epic stories of various games the developers played. Dark Avatar will include its own epic generator that will actually build (in HL) the story of each game the player plays to read later or share with others that gives the story of each game.

That sounds like it would make stories that are dry and uninspired. How can an "epic generator" possibly compare to actual writing? Sure, you can give each type of event some flowery text, but after a point, all stories would just be pretty much the same text in different ordering...
