On the one hand I can see the 'so far out of the intended power scale' argument. On the other hand I hear that the author of Nobilis is working on Exalted 3e, so I can totally see it starting to come online earlier than 2e.
Maybe I'll pick up Exalted 3e after the Nobilis 4e Kickstarter lands. But I'm really getting into the Jennaverse, so Exalted is below Nobilis in my wishlist.
Like, playing as cities sounds cool af, but it also sounds wildly out of scale with other Exalted. It's one of the things that might be better off in a dedicated book (if Onyx Path didn't have a policy of 'aannounce everything, have too many projects to complete any of them').
