Maybe it's just me but how can you jump into fifth (okay not really, it's like what, tenth or so game in the mainline series?) game without even skimming through absolute basics of the setting

The Clans are a different way of life, not necessarily bad guys. Sure, they aren't democratic, but neither are the great houses of the Inner Sphere. The people who were conquered by the Ghost Bears integrated immediately and never looked back to Kurita rule. The clans just deal with insurrection and resistance in a most effective and quick way.

They've got so integrated, that CSV had provided special issue Integration Shotguns to CGB to integrate the population harder, mhm.

i been playing Mech warrior since MS-DOS. I do not really know the lore or anything. I was a pilot i went where i was told and destroyed the enemy. That is how i played most my games. If there was a story in the first games i do not remember them i was a kid. I do know this was originally a table top game called battle tech or battle mech or something like that. you know what i can look it up give me a second. Battle tech i was right the first time. It came out a year after i was born. So you want to go ham on someone just because they didn't read a book? Well i been playing these games a lot longer and i only know the basics. I am a good pilot but game politics just isn't my thing. You ask the enemy who are the bad guys and they will say you. So is clan the bad guys? it all depends who you ask. Clan members would say you are bad. See what i am saying. It all depends on your ideals and beliefs.

Are they the bad guys?
Well, it depends on perspective and who you ask.

To many in the inner sphere, the clans are the baddies only because they invaded.
For the clans, the histories of the inner sphere, and in particular Terra, had been embellished to mythical status over the generations and they wanted to return "home".
However, some clans were benevolent and believed Kerensky's vision for them was to live their lives as clans and let the inner sphere do its thing - but help it in times of need, such as external threats. These wardens were outnumbered by the crusaders and so the crusaders invaded.

But remember, Kerensky exiled himself and took the space police (SLDF) with him because of the incessant infighting between the houses. In essence, he was an uber good guy fed up with the ♥♥♥♥ from the great houses, so he left and started a new culture.

Ego, to members of most of the inner sphere, the clans are bad guys. However, the clans views on the the inner sphere are mixed.

So, those that don't know anything about the lore are a tourist?
Yet you mock those that thought clans were good guys.

Tourist.

Wait, so are the Clanners the good guys or bad guys? Please, I need someone to tell me what to think.

crusader clans bad.
warden clans bad but better then crusaders mostly on par with IS factions.
IS factions mostly bad (each one is a varying degree of bad)

Like I'd say the FWL is probably the "least bad" but that doesn't mean they are "good guys" they are just trying to survive the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ constant fighting that is the Inner Sphere.

FWL is usually more just trying to survive the constant fighting within itself, more than it is against the rest of the IS.
