Don't quote me on this, but I think it was Word of God from the devs and exposition from folks like Prometheus.

That's one thing that bugs the **** out of me. This entire storyline has, for the most part, been told through exposition and Incarnate Trials. I miss the RWZ revamp. Amazing single player/small team story, awesome finale TF that only needed 8 players and wasn't required for the solo story, and amazing raid that was optional, not heavily dipped in writing, but still fun and amazing regardless.

They confirmed that awhile ago. He's 87, stepped down as Fire Lord, and is now an ambassador of peace while his daughter is the current Fire Lord. Here's a link to the wiki that details it all.

Only within backstory and clues was the Dagger ever mentioned. No story arc ever actually featured it until Dream Doctor shows up in Dark Astoria. He talks about it's power when mulling over plans to take down Mot, then after all is said and done he confronts Mender Silos on tampering with it.

GG actually has a valid point here. States rarely showed up in game or did anything. The only times the player hereo interacts with him are when you run an STF, save him from Praetoria at nearly the very end of the game, or chit chat with him at Fort Trident where he just puts Positron down for making B.O.T.L.E.R.

That's a grand total of three times. And villains only see him in the LRSF at the very end, and at the end of VEAT arc. But that's only if you're a VEAT. Statesman is the face of the game in advertisement only. Once you enter the game, you're pretty much left asking "Who's this guy, and why should I care?" Unfortunately, rather than expand on his character and give him depth, or lend a hand to newbie heroes, or really just anything, the devs decide to just kill him and replace him with Positron and Ms. Liberty. Hell, in the very SSA story arc that he was hyped up to die in, he doesn't appear until the very end of the fifth episode. And that's only for his death which, even then, the player isn't involved at all in.

Superhero - A fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers;
also : an exceptionally skillful or successful person

I don't think it's lost any meaning, tbh. By definition Godzilla fits, as he's a hero who has extraordinary powers. He's just a different culture's kind of hero. Much like Goku is Japan's Superman, Godzilla is their Hulk.

And the devs try saying Sister Psyche isn't blatantly sexualized.

The Equalists and their electric tazer weapons are fairly new. It would take time to construct a new armor that counters this and is still bendable by the metal benders themselves. And considering the current epidemic, the Council's disorder, and Lin stepping down as chief of police, that kind of time to dedicate to new armor just isn't something they have.

It's control over darkness itself. The set has these Haunts, which are formless, little ghost-like beings, for pets already. Every other Dark set has a shapeless creature born of pure darkness as it's main pet. Instead of getting bigger Haunt, or a variation of the shapeless Dark Servant, we got dog. And dog's body is solid, plainly visible, and can even be tinted bright colors that show off the fact that it's nothing more than a cut-and-paste wolf, at that.

And demons can stay in demon summoning.

First off, talk to that Archangel guy that's just chilling out by the hospital hub entrance place. He'll give increased rewards if you repeat all the DA arcs.

Second, once you've run through 'em once you gotta hit the missions up in Ouroboros, like any other story content in the game.

No, that can't be argued. If it's a map we didn't have before, it's new. That's what "new" means. The rest of that is just your opinion.

They took First Ward, slapped some new lighting and sky effects on it, and called it a new zone. So yeah, that's a pretty good summary of NW.

If she were grieving, she would've used/tried using that resurrection ritual from Spring on Statesman, or maybe even her own mother who also died during that arc. Instead she brought back Recluse's former flame who also happens to be a deadly, cunning super villain in her own right.

Hwaaargh

You're just mad 'cause he's popular.

There's nothing sad about it. A lot of unknown projects, once given the chance, completely flop, get terrible reviews, and waste everyone's time and money. Especially the studio's. For every "Iron Man" we've ever had, there have been about fifteen "Elektra"s.

That hand creeps me the **** out more than anything else.

Yeah, I doubt the Black Knights were actually planned that far in advance, much like most of anything story related in this game.
