When I talk about a game system, I talk about a set of rules, not about a game world (obviously). I think RQ*3* encourages community integration. In what community? That depends on your game world. Information for Glorantha's cultures was given in the (so rare!) AH's Gloranthan pubblications. I know nothing of RQ1 or RQ2, but I wouldn't criticize a set of rules because its former editions were short on cultural informations. I liked RQ*3* whatever the game world, I like Glorantha whatever the system (I liked most of all the two together).

Glorantha's main theme is "man's relationship to religion", so it does make sense to me that community are cult-based. Besides, why do you all cling to older editions of everything? I've only know third edition, so I sometimes don't understand what do you complain about. But, again, Nick Brooke says it better than me.
*Question*: will HW revise something (or someone) away? Or will HW's Glorantha stay consistent with RQ's?
