In fear of being lambasted by others I gottta say Im happy States is letting costume options transfer over to CoH. For one I think it will alter the make-up of SGs and give way to even more creativity. We all no of unorthodx heroes that come to mind in comic lore and opening that option makes me smile at possibilities. Think about it, good zombie sg's, benevolent mad scientist, Super-werewolves that get along with people, etc etc.
Also it's expanding the possibilities availible to ALL players of the game rather than leaving those who aren't directly involved in CoV (yeah there actually are a few and I'd imagine some will remain post-CoV release) out in the cold. This seems mighty gracious of the devs because if one looks at it obectionably they arent mandated to give us ANY new options. I see this as a stepping stone for them to begin mending the rift that kinda developped in the last several weeks, and anything that promotes harmony between the makers of the game and the playerbase as a whole, well I see as a good thing.
Last and least, the old addage of "its not whats on the outside, but inside that counts" Unless you actually choose the exposed brain option. Then I guess the difference between whats inside and outside gets kinda blurry.
