Am I reading this right?
Snipped from here;


Quote:
The "new" enemies being faced by players was revealed as Doppelgangers, an enemy type made possible by the groundwork laid via Mission Architect

The designers talked with vigor about how the Doppelgangers can have powers that are a twisted reflection of the player, that they can add certain constant abilities to differentiate them, and how much they change the overall tone of the mission. Mirroring players allows the mission to change depending on the team that runs it, further broadening the experience. They also made a point of highlighting how an unconnected change led to a new shot of content, because it was only with Mission Architect that it became possible to give enemies a full set of templated powers.

If I'm understanding that right, you'll be able to create "Doppleganger" NPCs that change powers based on who is fighting them?


If so, that's really cool!

theres no way to create doppelgangers from the players side, they are automatically generated in the new mish arcs and parts of the new posi tf's but they will have the same costume as the player who enters the mish and similar powersets (not exact powers)

Yes it does reminds me of the Nemesis system in Champions Online.

"Twisted Reflections", L25-29 in Ouroboros
"Looking Through The Glass", L25-29 in Ouroboros

The 2nd arc is the better of the two IMO, with a really nice cutscene at the end.

Also both have a new feature where the contact talks to you during the missions. It's kinda cool.

Edit: Got some cut scene screenshots on the FF site:

There are two new villain-side arcs that feature this too. They are awesome!
