Genre Mixing alert

I don't own the game for various reasons most of which is playing ESO at the moment, but I really would like your thoughts about a baffling... baffling element in this game. I understand most games have lore and when sequals and recreations come out, they must abide by this or at the very least, provide a cinematic to bring the audience up to speed.
So tell me why oh why are mechs in this game?

It seems strange enough that scavengers have modern/alien looking decoratively forged titanium speed strip helmets half embedded in their skull but the ultra futuristic cata-mech, or the buggy that looks remarkably similar to unreal 3 or the legionnaire ultramarine pauldrons are just baffling... baffling, when you consider Savage 1, with its catapults and ballistics machines that had wooden wheels and nomads with wooden bows.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me or point to an explaination in this sudden technological progression. Naturally the orignal game had its own discrepancies i.e harnessing electrical capabilities coupled with chemical weapons and timed demolision charges - yet still pushing wooden carts around with nomad elbow grease power.

Do Australlians not speak the same "English" as the rest of the world? Because this post as to use the language as the Australlian "Baffles" me. I honestly don't understand what he is getting at, Savage 1 had future-istic weapons and catpults/ballistas which made less sense than the current iteration with mechs and buggys.

does everyone just forget that nomads still had railguns and lightning guns in savage 1

the only gripes I have with the SR stuff is the buggy doesn't look like it should move as slow as the ballista (also I miss the cool ballista death animation), and the nomad workers are way too similar to MACs from ns2

He wasn't speaking strayan. Maybe he was drunk or trying to be funny.

Or sound like it lol. Big engine rev then moves at walking pace. I think buggy should just be replaced with something that feels more natural.

Was going to correct your grammar, but couldn't find meaning in this sentence.

And no, its just English )

And yes, if you read the entire post you would've noticed I made mention of that in the last paragraph...

Gamers lol

Says weird things incoherently.

Blames us not understanding on the fact we play games.

Actually it's perfectly coherent, what's not is your understanding of it, maybe a fold out book is more your thing - you know the ones with the cool cardboard castles and stuff that appear when you open a page.
