Your favourite thing about the upcoming expansion and patch

[ThatOneTomato]

Civics and Factions, definitely.

I gotta say the food changes. Having tradeable global food will be fun. Also, eating others for food, yummy!

Traditions, Ascension Perks, and Factions. I wouldn't try to play Stellaris if global food was the only thing in the patch, for example. Traditions alone makes it worthwhile.

Just preordered right now. I really can´t choose a single thing (traditions, ascension perks, factions, habitats,ringworlds,etc). Almost every Banks/Utopia feature looks so awesome to me...this is Stellaris 2.0 and we all here gonna enjoy the best space 4x game ever.

On the other hand, i just miss some "little present" to reward our trust on preordering Utopia...don´t know...maybe a new portrait...

Ability to change empire ethos

Ability to change empire ethos

Fully agree. It promises I can start with by lore Human and turn them toward whatever playstyle I would like. If only traits were a bit better.

Call me boring, but I think I will get the most mileage out of orbital habitats. All those systems, that were hilariously useless, like a six planet system devoid of any resource and with no habitable body can at least produce science now.

Next up are the civics changes, they seem to offer more granularity, when it comes to designing a society. This and the ability to change the ethics of your empire seem to offer a much more organic experience, where old time allies may drift away from you, or enemies becoming friends over time.

Also, the ability to expel fungi.

Hope for a decided decrease in having to play the Mini-game that required the use of "Influence" be to be used via the flicking of On-Off switches...
