So civilization beyond earth had an interesting affinity system where you went bio mechanical or pure (or a mix). So I thought why not have something similar in stellaris.
It could be bio, mechanical and ethereal. Each would have benefits and drawbacks making empires a bit more unique.
We even have examples of paths gone wrong:
Bio for the prethoryn as they are ruled by instinct and nothing else
Ethereal for the unbidden as they thirst for organics
Mechanical for machine rebellion
You could even have an option to stop at a "moral" point or continue down that path regardless of the consequences.
What do you think?
