I know! You'd think he wasn't part of an organization dedicated to fighting them at all!

I lol'd at this. Sam, you've made my morning.

All the rest of the stuff you said about origins is exactly how I think as well... using the example of the Destroyer bomb, not every Natural character is as quick as Batman, but then again, if yours is less Batman and more, say, Armstrong from FMA*, you can always go the old fashioned way like a non-natural-or-tech character if you feel like roleplaying. I'm kinda snickering though about how as a Science-origin character, Synapse himself couldn't take the "quick enough to yank out both wires" route. Tee hee.

*Disclaimer: I don't actually watch FMA, so I have no idea how fast Armstrong actually is



EDIT: And to throw my hat into the game-writing-breaking-my-character ring, my blueside Widow, an escaped experiment who isn't even a licensed hero, avoids red tape, checkpoints, and all that by means of psychically making people ignore her - but still, the Vanguard security officer calls her over to check those credentials she doesn't have. Herp. No real point, just think it's a little bit funny.

Oh, of course. Similar-but-not-identical is great, it's just identical-to-signature-look stuff that I'm against. Dreads in general ought to be WAY more common than only belonging to one character ever. I'd like some for sure... just maybe not HIS particular dreads. That's not quite what the thread is about, though.

Man, you'd never believe that I've done that mission arc about thirty times. How did I misremember that so poorly?

OK, just disregard everything I said then. I'll go to bed.

Yes please. And let its model be a vanity table.

OK, yes, those were her words, but they were an item when she died, so it's a wash either way.

I don't have the slightest idea why they didn't go with how she looked in the concept art. She HAD a unique tights pattern and hairstyle... why the balls couldn't she keep them?

We can't have these.

Sisters Airlia and Solaris have multiple cape systems, which, if allowed to players, would fry folks' graphics cards with how render-intensive it is. It's OK on NPCs because the devs can then control how many double-capes are around, and thus minimize the impact on our poor computers, but if you've ever been in an eight-man mission full of Mu Guardians you may have noticed your game choking a bit. Now, imagine Atlas Park on Freedom or Virtue full of PLAYERS that do that (bigger zone! more players! ALL of them have double, or even quadruple like Airlia, capes!), and tell me how attractive an option that is. Yeah, I'll pass, thanks.

As for the Illusionist, while I do like that dress a lot, long robes and dresses apparently look completely horrid with a large chunk of the player animations we have, so we won't be getting them, ever, at all.


As for Mother Mayhem, Vanessa DeVore, Neuron, and Marauder, I can't speak for every player of this game but speaking for myself, I don't really like the idea of these great big important NPCs not being unique anymore. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I don't think Marauder should look like just another PC hero or villain, you know? Mender plates and Carnie sashes are one thing, but I wouldn't want to see loads of player characters running around with stuff that only exists on ONE NPC as their signature costume part. It kills things.

Didn't she say something about how "The dead cannot change" concerning how she'll always love Wretch?

Holy balls!

Meanwhile, here's my own Carnie demon tamer and Council warshade:



Nowhere near enough vet months to use the Council emblem, unfortunately.
