    I had the opposite of that when I first started - it was freaky

    I can understand that the Mods are trying to avoid quote-pyramids, but come one, at least give up one nested quote.
    Yes, I agree.

    Picking on them like bullies in a playground. How very evil!
    They also seem to outnumber them, sometimes up to 2 to 1.

Just like if your male character already has a goatee, the evil counterpart will have long hair, and wear a lot of decorative spikes.
    Smallish leather gloves might also be needed, perhaps? Something the evil twin can pull on in an evil way when he's about to do something evil - he might also smile evilly while explaining his evil plan as he puts on his small evil leather gloves.
  6. I think our nemesis system will be a separate Issue from GR - it's a big enough and cool enough feature to headline its own Issue.

    Actually, from a lot of the text, it seems the 5th are capturing and recruiting the Council soilders they defeat, as well as performing some experiemnts on some of them - which could be Nictus related, as Reichsman might be out of the loop when it comes to the Nictus, and Requiem mightn't be telling him everything, either becuase he's still sulking at being deposed, or he's planning to cut short Reichsman's time at the top

    I think you'd have to use Ouroboros to find out
  9. My strongest is a MA/Regen Scrapper - it's also my weakest
  10. I wonder what point the Praetorian timeline splits off from our one? Like what's the event that starts to move Marcus Cole towards evil?
  11. The street fights were added in I16 - not sure if it's linked in some way to GR or not, or if it's just a natural step up from the return of Reichsman in I15.

    I've had that happen too - it also sometimes sends you to Portal Corp, even if you don't have a portal mission

    A very subtle hint

    I wonder what will trigger the new GM? And what sort of monster is it, anyway? It seems to be mostly teeth

    Everything should have animated hair - as long as it's suitable

Older movies from the 70s and 80s have a style and class all their own, representative of both the trends and preferences of the time, as well as the culture of it. As far as I can tell, the late 70s early 80s is the time when war movies, specifically movies about WW2, are giving way to more fiction and fantasy, but movies in general retain the old military tradition. If you watch Episode 4 with a critical eye, you'll notice the Imperial Storm Troopers being led like a proper army with proper discipline and rank. It's sci-fi, but it has a more realistic approach.

    By comparison, the prequels feel like Lord of the Rings IN SPACE! Sci fi as a genre isn't just defined by having space ships and aliens, it's a genre with a specific approach to fiction, and the newer sci-fi movies are actually a lot more like futuristic, space-faring sci-fi stories. I first spotted this in the step from Pitch Black into the Chronicles of Riddick, steeping from what was an Alien-esque survival sci-fi setting into faux fantasy land of ancient empires, prophecies and adventure. The Star Wars prequels suffer from the same thing, in my opinion.
    Star Wars, isn't, and never was, sci-fi - it's always been a science fantasy - princesses, warrior monks, a black knight, a dark lord, an evil empire, magic swords, a wise old wizard, a humble farm boy, a quest, mystical powers - and that's just A New Hope

    Of course, the newer films with things like midichlorians, clones and a much bigger role for robots did add more tech stuff to the story, but the addition of things like a queen, a prophecy and a chosen one helped keep them true to the fantasy roots of the originals

    It's the Unseelie Court model, I think.

    Not that kind of better - better as in adding even more fun to life.

    Way too much sky in the picture - it's not totally not walls there - banners or sails for sure

    We only have two - my mom's horse, and my horse - so we're not farmers
    Although, I do like to farm rosettes with mine
