It actually is very similar... I'd make a new story, somewhere along the lines of you being one of the company businessmen, and your workers go on strike. The problem is, they've formed a union. You're one of the company mediators, and in this universe that's a big deal. In this alternate universe, strife is solved by combat. The first fight would be you versus one of the union members, with the more 'primitive' worker-type. Obviously it'd be really easy, and you'd have to learn basic world interaction. Of course, though, without the guidance of the corporate side of the company, the Workers end up screwing up the reactor, which I'd say causes all the Plasma to stay functional/stable. And once the reactor blows, all the rest of the plasma stops functioning/starts exploding, and the world is thrown into chaos. You have to survive and stuff, and rig yourself up one of the Plasma arms and find some weapons to survive the world.
Or something.
Make this game free-roam please.
