More like a Forced revisioning using things from the older books only.
Atlantians, Khunku Dragons, Psionics, AIs...you get it.
Nothing new was really added PC wise for me. Druids kinda boring, Star/Earth Child weak...

Temporal Raiders and Warriors were Interesting and new.
Kev, could have made Arthur a Temporal Warrior, which would have been interesting a fresh.

I have always like England, not sure where all the hate comes from. It is a kingdom of heroes with a dark heart at its core. There aren't a lot of these in Rifts at all. Every kingdom pretty much advertises GOOD or BAD, but New Camelot is fresh and shiny and new, but once you learn the awful truth is rotten to the core. And it's one of the Four Great Dangers (ala Sourcebook Two). And there's a small kingdom of Goblins. How kewl is that? Camelot is an importer of Triax goods as well. And there's a Splugorth outpost. And, the Gathering of Heroes in Africa to stop the Four Horseman, had many a knight from Camelot in it. It's also the book that gave us Temporal Magic. Please do enlighten me? You can PM me if you don't want to gunk up the board.

Then you are in a lot of trouble with the Paradigm of the Palladium Megaverse. AIs are at the center of almost all the metaplots in the books in a way or another.

In the same way that you cannot easily remove Splyncrth and the Splugorth from Atlantis without rewriting several major factions on North America alone you cannot remove AIs from the rest of the books without needing of rewrite those books.

Deal with it the same way I do. Accept then but "tweak" some details so that in a way they become more easy to swallow.

Its like a bad tasting medicine, you cannot live without it so you need to stood there and face it. The other option is too much of a trouble to be wort it.
