Is there anywhere that has the entire storylines to EV and EVO entirely fleshed-out? All I could find are EV Nova stuff, which has a much more well-written and comprehensive story.
You managed to get the "well-written" part correct, but that's about it. While the storyline certainly has a great amount of smoothness and flow to it in the writing, the story itself is completely predictable, the plot is lame, and the content in general is completely stupid. The phrase "you can't judge a book by it's cover" has never been more false when you can figure out the entire storyline based on the first dialogue with any major character. While the EV and EVO storylines are much more simplistic and the writing is much less flowing, in that minuscule amount of dialogue the player has much more to offer from the story than the Nova story would ever offer. The Nova storyline is one of the worst failures that I know to be recorded.
Rather than linking the three storylines together (the people here have stated various arguments for not doing so, and a couple of how you "might" go about it), I might suggest something that I've thought of doing more than once, and if you like the idea you might even be willing to do it with me. In EV Classic the dialogue (not so much in the story, but mostly in the planet descriptions) often talks of the "Great War", whereas in EV Nova, planet descriptions often talk about the "Colonial Council". I figure it would be a very fun thing to do to write up either one of these scenarios to lead in to the current EV Classic universe or the current EV Nova universe, and perhaps have some kind of "continuation" about what happened after the Rebellion in EV Classic. Having a continuation of EV Nova is actually more desirable for me than making a continuation on Classic, and though the writing might not be as smoothe, it would be worthwhile to making at least the ending plots significantly less retarded, and actually giving something to the player. There is so much to say about "what happened in the past" on either storyline, that it would just be a wondrous endeavour to embark on creating them. However, I don't say this implying that it will be done in one day, there's certainly a lot of work involved.
