This is an interesting comment;
"I could never rp there"
Of course the earliest parts of OA were originally set up as a roleplaying scenario; Big Ideas, Grand Vision by Anders Sandberg. That was more open-ended because it only really went up to the start of OA's First Federation.
If anyone was serious about open-ended roleplaying in OA, they should set up a scenario at the edge of the Outer Volumes, preferably interacting with unpredictable aliens or some bizarre blight. The fact that the Archailects are around to save the day is problematic for open-ended play. But bear in mind that just about every xenosophont empire that has ever existed in the Milky Way galaxy has vanished for one reason or another, and not even the Terragens are certain to persist.
