City of Death ((Spoilers Perhaps))
Slightly off topic, but I for one cannot see Mot's mouths eating folks without hearing the "Om nom nom! This is delicious!" of the TF2 Heavy.
The who was stated in another thread, and isnt really a return of a character. It's the changing of a current one to a new status of living.

What Samuel Tow said as well as this:The problem is that this breeds a very real sense of cynicism in people who are prone to being cynical, such as myself. Rather than outrage me and spur me into action, what the SSAs have managed to accomplish is ensure I don't give a rat's *** about any of the game's canon characters any more. I refuse to be invested in a character whose life can be thrown away to feed some writer's obsession with re-enacting the entirety of Countdown to Final Crisis. |
Statesman's death? Shocking and touching, because of the time and story investment in the character and the rarity of the fatal consequences. Sister P's death? To a lesser degree, but the same.
Running the DA arcs and yet more people dying? I'm starting to not care, even though I really like the overall DA storyline.
Death! Murder! Slaughter! A dark god rises to eat the world! Yet more of the same!
/em shrug shoulders
Death loses its sting as a plot device when it's applied liberally. The death of characters we care about shouldn't become as old hat and predictable as a laugh track, otherwise it has about the same punch.

Oh okies I saw that briefly. So I take Positron does not get whacked in SSA Part2?
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Um, not trying to spoil anything for anyone, but in case you haven't read the last installment in the Hithchiker's Guide books ("Mostly Harmless"),...
I would love it if this game was more like 'City of Death'! Story arcs written by Douglas Adams! Cutscenes voiced by Tom Baker and Julian Glover! Epic Paris maps! Time travel to Renaissance Italy and primordial Earth! And a cameo appearance by John Cleese!
**sees blank stares** ...um...nevermind. |

DON'T. Seriously. It's a good book, but if you like happy endings, this is not the book you are looking for.
