[quote=Darkraven]That said, I believe that a combat heavy Xcom roleplay would still be wasted potential, as Xcom has always been about the story as much as it is about the gameplay- and what is interesting is that the game has always allowed us to write our own stories, and I'm sure plenty of fan fiction writers did just that.

As for fan fiction, I've looked for those, and the number of XCOM ones is surprisingly small, unfortunately.
