Perhaps not morally; then again, that's a matter of perspective.

Aesthetically, Darth Vader fans across the world disagree.

Again, that's really a matter of perspective. Every well-written villain is the hero, so to speak, of their own story. It's sort of in line with my statement a few lines up.

And yet people collect action figures of them all the time...

I think a chainmail skirt would be legit punk wear.

I'm starting to wonder if anyone reads all the text in this game.

1) Wade needs her blood because it's similar to Statesman's.

I assume he just needs the blood of an Incarnate or something similar, and Liberty and Statesman were too hard for Wade to trap, since States is Big Time and Liberty is currently empowered by the Liberty Belt...or, perhaps it would be believable that Blitz could capture Alexis. Wade may have other methods of capturing Liberty or Statesman, though the latter may not be as feasible since States is Big Time.

I'm pretty sure he's going to combine Alexis' blood with the Power Intensifier he stole from the Midnight Squad; or rather, Wade's next pawn is going to get a transfusion of her blood and they're going to use the Intensifier...you know, right before they explode or something as dictated by the dropping of other shoes and such.

2) Wade has been watching a lot of Criminal Minds recently and believes that the death of a close relative will make Statesman emo out again like when his wife Monica died. To be accurate, though, States only did that because Recluse purposely sent flowers to Monica to mess with his head a bit, I can't remember how exactly that worked.

It's entirely possible that States won't fall for the same trick twice, even through his grief.

3) Wade wants to estrange Manticore from the rest of the Phalanx because of his secrecy involving, and the magnitude of his failure to protect as a result of said secrecy, someone so close to the Phalanx. I think people have already picked up on this, though.

Points 2 and Points 3 are really to create a sufficiently distracted and divided Phalanx to enable Point 1.

But they're terrible, as implied by their current Security Level cap. Unless, of course, Justin's been holding back the good equipment.

Must be hell keeping them perfectly stationary.

According to the official Underground Guide,
So staying behind it won't do squat to affect your odds of being Targeted, only staying outside of the 30 ft. range of Targeting Reticle will.

You paid for the entire helmet, but you'll only need the edge.







...or, well, you get the idea.

Yeah, my memory doesn't work so well sometimes; you ask Prometheus about the Well after completing Keyes and he does say that the Furies act on the Well's behalf while it's snoozing.

You've got it backwards: as I understand it, the nature of Incarnates and in fact the contemporary era of super powered beings as presented in the first book was superior to what had already been planned, and the ingame canon was changed accordingly. Note that at that time, however, that no one had decided that the Well (or whatever exists inside of it, as the case may be) was sentient.

Brainstorm's gig is experimenting with super powers. Creed's gig is, as far as I know, still experimenting on the Infected. They may be mad scientists, but if they don't focus on the goals they've set they'll never get anything done. :P

I think it would be more appropriate to ask why Dr. Vahzilok wasn't running the place, if you had to ask.

I don't recall any part of their background saying that they punish those who defy the Well of the Furies, or that they even work for the Well. I was looking for that little bit specifically the whole time I was running First Ward.

Justice server on standard mode.

I think the answer may be 'yes'.

I think Storm Summoning is supposed to count as this.

I'd bet that Empathy and Pain Domination are supposed to fill the buff/debuff slot on this, and I don't think you could do much about claiming we need another Psi control set other than Mind unless you go the 'telekinesis' route, which is already filled by Gravity; I think there's already a power called Telekinesis. My Dom has it.

Get the feeling Dark Control is in the pipe for I22.

Energy Blast fills the ranged slot, pretty sure. I know doves ain't flyin' out of the attacks or anything, but it's hard to think of something different that doesn't step on Energy Blast or Radiation Blast's toes. Same goes for Energy Melee, Energy Manipulation, Energy Aura, and Energy Assault.

I think the bowl is still there, partially obscured by the FX.

The moment I heard about this pack, I thought "Mystic_Fortune likes this."

I believe there's some Dominator-related stuff down the pipe in I22. Whether it affects Controllers by proxy is something to be seen.

I think Zwillinger said something being 'very very disappointed' if anyone made Final Fantasy clones. And you wouldn't like Zwill when he's...disappointed.

I'd have to disagree with you there; in fact, I believe the longer the blade is, the longer and/or heavier the opposite end of the weapon needs to be to balanced. Look at the positioning of the wielders arm in the OP's picture. His left hand is acting as a fulcrum, while his right is pushing down on the grip as a lever in order to keep the weapon more or less horizontal; he'd have to apply WAY MORE force if he had to move his hand closer to the fulcrum.

That weapon is probably proportioned about as practically as can be for an oversize chopping weapon that needs to be wielded fast enough to mince tiny Rikti Monkies.

That weapon is clearly long enough to go through zombie torsos stacked two rows deep.

See my first paragraph.

Mobile Artillery doesn't show up in Sutter, but War Walkers do. I haven't seen Mobile Artillery ingame for any content outside of special events, though I'm sure they'll show up sooner or later. Outside of Sutter, there are War Walkers in Tina MacIntyre's arc with the same powers as those in Sutter and the Incarnate Trials.

You're right, I could run the arcs with no sound. But that would be boring.

There. Of course, I haven't run First Ward yet at all. No sound on my comp. :/
