There is nothing else quite like Lore, is there. Nowhere else can you spend hundreds of hours thinking of the logistics and science behind anthropomorphic birds that live in a city that touches the clouds and have hundreds of years of history. Perhaps a society of ancient robots that live in a series of underground tunnels that they dig using magic that comes from the gems they eat. Creating lore is probably the most interesting thing that I've ever experienced.
Is it strange? Of course it is!
Does it make sense? Nope.
Is it fun? Duh!
