Also i was thinking maybe CoH/V can expand to the cosmos, maybe have at some high lvl you can train to be a cosmic scout or herald (like for Galactus or some other entity that could branch off into other storylines) or maybe there is an architype choice in the beginning where the powers you get are crazy but limited maybe until a certain lvl (50+?). i started thinking about justice league unlimited, the green lantern corps, and galactus and his heralds as inspiration.
So, i wasn't sure where to post this so i made a new thread.
i thought of this this morning and thought it would give the game an extra level of entertainment, but not sure how practical it would be. i know i put in some power suggestions and another thread said that just naming them as new powers didn't help much and found some other good ideas in Lady Jade's thread so disregard that note.
i'd like to see more variety of powers: shapeshifting, something akin to the Blob (x-men), magnetism, maybe even more specified abilities that are given to you at random (as a choice after picking your types (natural, magic, etc) you should be able to choose 'random powers,' instead of choosing the powers you start off with, that might give you something more specific so there is more variation between characters?) Not sure if that's too difficult or not for the game designers.
Or even have a sort of 'storyline type' prior to becoming an actual superhero or villian. Here you choose from whatever type you want to be put in (magic, natural, cyborg, etc) and then during a mission (maybe you start off as a cop or a concerned citizen or a lab professor or something) an accident occurs and (or something that falls within the type you chose) gives you powers, which could also fall along the lines of the first note above where the abilities are randomized or more particular so as not to be the exact same as another character. Maybe a video could show what happens to your character and through this accident or transformation or whatever (where then you would be able to design your character) you have a given arch enemy throughout the game.
Maybe being this concerned citizen or cop or whatever could be prolonged or shortened depending if you fall off a ladder into sewage or are struck with chemicals from an enemy or whatever that causes you to inherit powers. (?)
Just a thought.
