A lot of people have summed up why the Youtube idea's not really a winner, due to extra work on the player, technical limitations, and it being jarring.

However, I'm not entirely sure that a villainous monologue can't be done within the limits of an AE arc. Depending on how your arc is written, you could use the contact text, which gives you 1000 characters for each separate window. The boss idle text that they say before you fight them has a pretty large limit. I've used that to make wordy villains for comedic purposes quite a few times. Depending on how long the monologue is, you could always have it extend into the text for when they see the player, and even into the text for different levels of health.

You recall incorrectly. His info has always said that he has a Nictus. Even back when he still sported his 5th Column uniform and his dark powers. The version with dark powers that exists again in the game right now is the exact same as the one that existed prior to Issue 3. Not even the description changed.

The number of tags on this thread haven't ripped a whole in time and space yet. I've done my part, it's time for everyone to do theirs!

No, you want some real Half Life comparisons to CoH? Go to the Shadow Shard. Looks a lot like the alien world you go to in the first Half Life.

How uncouth.

I just wish that I didn't seem to get nothing but soulbounds heroside. It's a real kick in the crotch when your main villain is a mastermind.

ZOMG U PLAY WOW? THAT GAME IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U SHUD FEL BAD!!!!!!!!!!!

*clears throat* Sorry, somebody had to do it. All in jest, of course.

I will actually posit that a character like the Orc that you mentioned doesn't even have to be from an alternate universe. Considering the fact that we fight demons, zombies, both frankensteinian and honest to god resurrected corpses, ghosts, and even Cyclopes and Minotaurs on a daily basis, an Orc could easily be displaced in time or from a "lost tribe" of Orcs living in some foreign location.

That's the wonderful thing about a superhero universe. Absolutely anything goes. A Conan-esque barbarian from the past or from an alternate universe (or even a distant possible future) who has been displaced from his normal surroundings and now finds himself in a strange civilized world with bizarre technology he doesn't understand fits in perfectly. There are numerous examples of such characters in comic books.

For instance, my main villain is an ancient draconian sorcerer, the last of his species who plots to destroy all of mankind as revenge for hunting his kind to near extinction. He's been around for millennia. Since the game lore doesn't specifically say that such a thing didn't happen, I can say that it did in his backstory, and be completely correct.

P.S.: I freaking hate that slicking the hair back pop-up too. LIZARDS DON'T HAVE HAIR.

I hope that Issue 4 is Going Rogue.

AlienOne, I approve of your quest, if only for being morbidly curious as to how far you can plummet.

Where the hell is Van Helsing when you need him? Only he has the expertise to kill an undead monster with this kind of power.

Thanks for the playthrough. The other two brides are from Bram Stoker's Dracula. I wanted to use a Castlevania reference for another one, but in the end decided that would leave more people scratching their heads than the Twilight and classsic Bram Stoker references. Plus, I have more Castlevania references in the other two, so it's no big deal.
