Was having Invictus and Fate ever really that necessary?

They were so detached and mysterious that you could have removed them from the plot and it wouldn't have mattered much, maybe aside from Invictus making Ialu.

Of course they are necessary, the very fact that the 'gods' could exist without external interference is thanks to them, more or less. We also never got far enough for their ultimate purpose to manifest (if the gods ever did get powerful enough to rebel or something).
I like the idea of a complete reboot, saves me the hassle of creating a complex backstory xP
