The Essential Guide to Super-Booster Glamour-Pack (guys only version)

So, what's the first thing you do when you're ready to embark on an interdimensional trip to the unknown and beyond? Well, you pack your toothbrush, an extra sweater, a couple of candy bars for the road and, of course, a guide. A guide to what you may expect at every turn, because let's face it, you don't really want to waste your trip on a random bad choice. And that's precisely what this guide is for, a map to the most important landmarks in all of Praetoria. Not the badges, no, those are a distant second. Because in the end, what really matters are the women.

This becomes particularly important in the advent of the new Super-Booster Pack - Glamour, which has taken lessons from both "The Witcher" and all those japanese games no one ever talks about. For those few of you left out of the closed beta, let me tell you it introduces dozens of sexy cards to unlock throughout Praetoria, which will replace the usual Loading Screen Tips. These are character-bound, not account-bound, so only Praetorian characters get access to them, and only the ones they specifically unlocked. That's right, as of now, cards are limited to everyone's favorite dystopia. You can't get them in Paragon City or the Rogue Isles, so if you haven't purchased Going Rogue yet, what are you waiting for?

Luckily, Praetoria is riddled with women, all conveniently packed into themes. There's one for every taste, though you have to be careful to pick your poison. Choose the wrong one, and you're stuck with the same type of girl for the rest of the ride. But that's what this guide is for, to tell you in advance just what kind of sweetheart you're going to run across. Plus it prevents you from getting the "bad ending", which gets you stuck with a supposedly comical picture, but more often just a painfully annoying reminder of your failure everytime the Loading Screen pops in.

The first thing you need to know about Praetoria storyline is that it's splintered into two big paths, and each of these into another two smaller roads. You have to decide firsthand whether you'll support the emperor and become a Loyalist, or work against said emperor and become a member of the Resistance. Further along, you'll have to decide whether to work for the good of the people or just use your position to satisfy your every whim. You can switch any time, but most of these paths work best if followed from beginning to end.

Your trip is therefore divided into four possible paths, Warden and Crusader for those who joined the Resistance, Responsibility and Power for those who remained Loyalists. Since Praetoria is a dystopia, they don't translate all that well into Paragon City moral alignments, as each represents a very distorted view of the typical Hero, Vigilante, Villain and Rogue. To the Praetorian mindset, Loyalists are heroes and Resistance are villains, and the further you descend into the Resistance the more you step away from the limelight and all the pretty women. On the other hand, if you really want a blast, there's no partying like in the sewers, so don't go afraid to show Cole the boot!

Without further delay, here's the cards you're going to get.


Power - Prima-donnas
- Aria
- Duncan
- Belladonna
- Bobcat
- Tami Baker & Officer Welks
- Reese (bad ending)

Following the path of pop hero leads to public adoration, heroic parades and magazine covers, and of course as the top of the crop of Praetorian's high society you'll have a chance to meet the most gorgeous women in the city. Beautiful, yes, but these stuck-up bimboes will give make you want to rip your hair off in frustration. You'll spend half your time cleaning up their messes, the other half hearing them yammer about how their screw-ups were obviously your fault to begin with. Totally worth it, but if you take this path, bring either a bottle of pain-killers or some duct tape to shut them up. Take the red path at the end, you DON'T want to get the Reese Card by taking your hero ruse too far!


Responsibility - MILFs
- Cleopatra
- Tilman
- Vanessa DeVore
- Ivy
- Maxine & Emma
- Mr. Yin (bad ending)

You're going to be a real gestapo bad-*** if you take this path, and most women you'll meet here will be classy ladies with alot of skeletons in their closets. It's redundant advice, but don't trust any of those women! They'll use you, they'll abuse you and when they're done chewing you up they'll have their next boytoy stick a knife in your back. And after all that they'll still have the nerve to ask YOU to be reasonable! It says everything when the robot-chic is the most humane of them all. Don't take this path unless you're ready to try out your new handcuffs, because if anyone in Praetoria really deserves a spanking, it's them. Don't give in to you psychotic urges and take the red path in the end, though, or you'll get stuck with DeVore's former sweetheart instead.


Warden - Damsels in Distress
- Tunnel Rat
- Jessica Flores
- Rebecca
- Katie Douglas & Freed Seers
- Penelope Yin & Clockwork Seers
- Noble Savage (bad ending)

Here you get to play the dashing rogue coming to the rescue of the frail damsel in distress. And again. And again. It's uncanny the amount of trouble these women get into! If there's a minefield, you can expected them to be there happily picking flowers. Oh, they'll thank you, they'll hug you, they'll promise to be BFFs with puppy eyes and wishy voices. And they damn well should, just thinking about all the crap they made you do to "save them" is exhausting! In the end, you'll actually feel relieved to hit the portal back home. Now don't you dare look back, Katie's about to press the red button that says "DANGER" in extremely large letters, just, well, because. It's almost worth it to take the red side in the end, as Noble Savage's Card is particularly hilarious.


Crusader - Party girls
- Ricochet
- Splice
- Beholder
- Helix
- Scarlet & Dahlia
- Hatchet & Marty (bad ending)

Last but not least is the path of the bloodthirsty terrorist, erm, freedom fighter. Now these tunnel girls might not win any beauty contests, but they sure know how to party. Psychotic, to the last, but refreshingly honest and uncomplicated, even heartwarming at times. Best of all, you don't even have to pretend to understand what they're saying, as Resistance talk is conveniently meant to be unintelligeable to outsiders! So if blowing up hospitals and feeding innocents to rampaging ghouls is your thing, go crazy! Just don't mention the smell, and make sure you don't run out of things to explode - you really don't want to become their next big fancy target. Definitely go red in the end, Marty in a bikini is not as funny as you might expect.


There you have it. Now remember, the beta's still ongoing. If there's a girl card you really want to see that isn't on that list, go bug the red names until they say yes. As always, they're very open to suggestions.

What I like about Bobcat is her tights are made of pantyhose material. Pantyhose material is quite sheer. Bobcat is awesome!

WARNING: I bold names.

Awesome work
Did you have this prepared before the date hinted at or was it a last-minute post?
