I was just going to say that one of the games I think overlap a lot with UA
is Mage... the high-powered part would be the equivalent of an IC-focused
setting with PCs going along with godwalkers. But you also have the low-powered
part, the weird CoX and so on, that can mix very well with UA.

My 2nd pick after Mage would be CoC, but apparently that's an obvious choice.
Any weird game should do, CoC is maybe a little too desperate.

At least UA is not really desperate, since there will eventually be a 333rd
archetype to ascend. Maybe this 333rd archetype would be an IC-aware "I'll be
the last one and now let's get over with this stuff" kind of "nihilist"?

Note: My favourite games are Mage and Castle Falkenstein, then Reve de Dragon,
Werewolf and Amber. The games I played the most were CF, Vampire, Star
Wars and Cyberpunk. The games I GMed the most were Reve de Dragon, RQ and
Shadowrun.
