Couldn't Tyrant and Anti-matter have come up with a plan that didn't involve the deaths of thousands of citizens? Like, say, using people with superpowers to evacuate the people?

Bravo to the art team, the buildings and architecture look very convincing, and shows how far we've come from the original blocky skyscrapers.
I like how empty the streets are - it adds to the creepiness.

Tyrant and Anti-Matters plans are like the Rebel Alliance's: it's not a real plan unless a lot of Bothans get wasted. |

Honesty, it feels far more like Eden than Dark Astoria. It's a different sort of vibe. Granted, we'll have to see how the zone is designed when it's night.

Oh, a teeny tiny tidbit of new information (sonic wall nuke option).

Wow... I wanna film in there...
*logs in and runs to the end of Neutropolis, then stares off into the distance*
Maybe it's like Brigadoon... if the mist is right, you can find your way there. If you don't blunder into a sonic wall first.

I wonder if Tyrant might try that as a last deperate attempt to stop us once we're actually close to his tower?

I always imagined that Cole's last, desperate attempt to kill us would involve trying to forcibly make the Well give him more power, resulting in him turning himself into an angelic looking being... that we beat the crap out of.

Yeah, I could see him becoming an avatar of the Well in some way - to make the final fight seem more spectacular than one normal sized guy being beaten up by a couple of dozen people |

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Everyone knows they are dictators.
They are tolerated, cause the keep everyone safe from the hamidon.
people in Prae would rather live under a dictatorship than deal with the creatures of the hami.

Although, Tyrant does have a record of this kind of behavior, with letting the DE destroy Rome, Italy while he just stood and watched
