Legacy is a cool game. We love it. The game's makers follow us on Twitter as we do them. So when we say that it's not a valid source for writing articles here, we're not saying we dislike the game, or anything of sort.

The fact you can have so many different combinations of team-members means that it is of course not a reliable source. To whom did Nightmare in Silver happen? The answer of this wiki is "The Eleventh Doctor, Clara Oswald, her two charges, Porridge, and some near-reject soldiers".

The answer is not "The Second Doctor, Jack Harkness, River Song, Strax, and an Adipose".

We're simply not going to get into a situation where the whole of BBC Wales Doctor Who is up for review because of a video game. That is, Blink definitely happened to the Tenth Doctor, and no other incarnation. The companion in New Earth was only Rose Tyler. The "Pandorica speech" was uttered solely by the Eleventh Doctor, not the War Doctor. And so on. The ability to choose various teammates is a feature of game mechanics, not narrative.

If you wish to explore the complexities of Legacy, please feel free to do so at our sister wiki, w:c:dwlegacy. It's a quite well-developed wiki, but they could always use an extra hand.
