: Re: How to explain the main plot with science based concepts, without the non-sci-fi fans getting bored? Let me explain: I'm writing a game where the Earth gets a massive biological attack from

I am a sci-fi guy, and I find this whole concept a little boring... it would be like if Robert Kirkman comes up with this explanation for the Walking Dead, would anyone in the audience really care?

Does it even matter?

People may not like this observation.. But there is a reason why the explanation of an apocalypse is NOT very important to the survivors. And there is a reason why most TV shows, games, comics and novels about a post apocalyptic world don't really address the HOW.

The HOW, as Captain Adama pointed out in the aftermath of the cylon all out sneak attack, "does not matter"

The only situations where the cause of the apocalypse matters are:
1. There is a way to stop it. (Terminator)
2. There is a way to move forward knowing about it (Nausicaa)
