[QUOTE="Kem, post: 3681373, member: 18158"] Ok I think I should clarify a bit. A lot of posts are sounding out what I ment but I don't think its clear after reading :) A big problem people have with Union is that Sigil would have been a better replacement. Instead its not Sigil. But its not really anything else either. It just is. If in Planescape, Sigil was replaced with Union, who would have liked it? I am not saying "It's not Sigil" to mean its not a carbon copy, but because it has nothing that makes it stand out. When you see "Sigil" you have thoughts going through your head that aren't there for any other city someone mentions. Its the difference between thinking of New York City, and then thinking of Commack on Long Island. One is a bustling city with things going on, its own flavor that you don't really get anywhere else, clear mental images of things that only exist there, or that make it unique. The other is an average suburban town. Now if you want to compare Chicago and New York City you can't really say the same as with Commack. Chicago has its own flavor too. Same with New Orleans, or LA, or Boston, or Tampa. When I say its not Sigil, I mean its just not in the same league as it. [/QUOTE]
