They said it was they ended up feeling most comfortable with, while keeping a balance between feeling like fantasy and not going full on sci-fi. Solid first point, and something that I myself have been trying to figure out. Lineage was the lowest on the poll of 17 people, with Ancestry being the highest preferred option.
Just sharing because I think its interesting how diverse the ideas are when talking about it, especially in the format of a fantasy game.
