-The entire APP needs serious consideration.

-I love Hurl, but it is monumentally overslotted for Damage, as are Haymaker and Knockout Blow.

Maybe some time when I get a little extra time I can do just that but I cannot promise anything. I think the first feet are way too small but that is just my personal opinion.

At some point in time, we appear to have gotten a writer who decided that subtlety and immersion are for squares, daddy-o, and thus broke all of the game's "secrets" out into the open. Crey Industries are obviously evil and you have to wonder why everyone related to the company isn't in jail yet, Malta is widely known to the world as early as level 20 and everyone knows about them, Virgil Duray is the leader of the Sky Raiders who are American soldiers who fled into mutiny and that whole story about finding that out is moot, everyone knows Vanessa DeVore is the leader of the Carnival of Shadows and how she manages to be a "socialite" as opposed to "wanted criminal" is anyone's guess... Oh, and the Rikti are human, lest we forget.

See, because we, as players, know these things from previous playthroughs, then obviously the world at large knows these things, right? Right? Never you mind that that makes a whole lot of stories, not to mention large chunks of the persistent world, nonsensical and pointless.

Crey Industries is a legal business. Their property, personnel and trade secrets are protected by US law. Trespassing in their facilities, assaulting their personnel and destroying or stealing their equipment are still crimes. There's such a thing called "due process." It law enforcement, a court of law and legal proceedings. That's precisely WHY Crey still exists - because their shark lawyers are good at bending the rules of the system and the Countess is good at covering up her tracks. If we raid one of their installations, it should only ever be done with a court order, a search warrant or otherwise with some form of justification above and beyond "Their evil, go steal their stuff!"

There is such a thing as subtlety, writers. There are villains who are not just an openly evil paramilitary organisation who stand on street corners, belly-laughing about "Ho ho ho! We're so evil!" The fight against crime isn't always literally a fight. Not all problems can be solved by finding the right person to punch in the face. The fighting is done done for its own sake. Ultimately, it has to serve a larger purpose, and in the case of Crey, proving that Countess Crey is a criminal IS that larger picture. But you know what? Corporate law being what it is, the actual Crey Corporation can survive even after the Countess and all her cronies are in jail. A "corporation" is a non-sentient entity that cannot be accused of a crime. At best, it can have all of its property and finances ceased to repay outstanding debts, but there's nothing stopping its investors from carrying on in name only. After all, they're only in the cost of their investment, they don't incur any of the corporation's actual debts.

What I'm saying is that Crey is not a "paramilitary" villain group, but rather a "clandestine" villain group. Like Malta, like the Family, like all the Nemesis shell companies, they present a front that is not only believable as a legitimate business, but which uses and abuses the protection of the law. You can't go busting into Crey labs and stealing tech any more than you can go busting into Portal Corps labs and stealing their portal generators. Not if you want to stay on the right side of the law.
