I want Stranger to look for the rest of his race. The big story could be him trying to discover his true self and his native species, from whom he's been removed for so long.
But that's when disaster strikes.
A mysterious group of individuals capture Stranger and subject him to an inquisition of sorts, and then leave him in this abysmal prision/fortess. The first, "level," would be him escaping the prision. During the rest of the game, he's a wanted steef by the organization, who does everything in it's power to kill him. Why? You'll have to play the game. Maybe before he leaves the prision, he assassinates the head honchos, and now all the minion want revenge. I don't know.
Visit grudgy cites, vast plains platues, graveyards and lost cities. The final level could be a giant clash between the Steef herds and the villianous legions on a giant war plain. The game would end with stranger becoming accepted back into the tribe, and, "earning," his horns.
Sekto could play a small part, but I think, like Mullock in Abe's Exoddus, he shouldn't be too big of a player. Maybe he was, in reality, a pawn of something bigger. Whatever.
As you can tell, I've had awhile to think this through. :P
