Independence War 1 & 2 story considerations?
Do I need to know anything about the plot of Independence War to enjoy IW2? I'm about to play the latter for the first time and have never played the former...
Solution 1:
I-War 2:Edge of Chaos has it's own self-enclosed storyline. It is happening in the same "universe" about a 100 years after the first game. All you have to know about the first game is actually quickly mentioned in a narrative by one character surviving it.
