in all seriousness, I just wish we could get rid of the Reflections effect on the lore pets, that way I can say my IDF troopers were just so damned impressed by my characters they changed sides.

You know what Sister Psyche needs? A trenchcoat, I mean all the cool psychics wear things with long trails, the Fortunata, the Night Widows, the PPD Psychics, and Mother Mayhem.

Plus she could actually keep herself warm in that dental floss outfit.

Well, I'd probably say my initial impression of Incarnates is that they're not gods by any sense, rather simply very strong characters.
The examples we often see seem to possess nothing too far out there beyond better stats and some unique powers, such as Lord Recluse, Statesman, Stheno, Hero 1, Reichsman, Imperious, Tyrant, and even the version of ourselves shown in the first mission of Mender Ramiel's Arc.
Of course, it does certainly say something about just what our characters have begun to accomplish themselves so far taking the supposedly 'slow' Incarnate path, we've managed to increase our stats, develop unique (at least from other incarnates) modifications to our standard attack powers, gained a really really powerful nuke power (though that's fairly in line with other incarnates), gained the ability to not just go into a sort of 'super mode' (destiny buffs) ourselves, but something we can even grant to allies around us, and summon pets.
And for the remaining Five levels, who know where we'll go.

For your original comparison, it might be safe to say that the players will become Alucard and Recluse and others will be Valentine (I think that was the dude's name) even though their abilities are still supposedly beyond our own.
Of course, many of the Incarnates mentioned do not possess some of the unique gimmicks of more recent AVs because they're older examples of bosses, and thus feel weaker, in the end, because once you destroy Recluse's towards, get Statesman away from the freedom phalanx, or do whatever to Reichsman, they're just sacks of HP you hit over and over again like any non-incarnate AV.

Thank you, and I just now realize my spelling mistake in the OP... This is why one should not create threads at four in the morning.

Kind of a silly question, but lately my signature's grown rather large in size and soon I will no longer be able to fit anything into it, if they were all my threads, I might not mind, but the point of my signature, for the most part, is to bring to people's attention as well as remind them of the wonderful All Things Art threads started by Nobel Savage and Tunnel Rat.
My question is if it would be against forum rules to create a link HUB thread, and if it isn't, where should I put it, and are there any things I should know about creating such a thread?
