I am certainly looking forward to this game, and hearing more about how they are blending in the action set is a big selling point for me. I really enjoyed CoH/CoV but the button pressing did get a bit mind numbing after a while, having reactive gameplay elements mixed in will make it a good bit more addictive and engrossing to me.

I rather suspect the only (and safest) way to introduce you to other peoples' nemeses would be if you're grouping with them. Incidentally Day, I DO look forward to meeting Captain Penis-Instead-Of-A-Face. She can hang out with Wonderslut and her Vagina of Steel.

An interesting idea, though I wonder how many players would be lumbered with the arch Nemesis Captain Penis-Instead-Of-A-Face*?

The option to say “I want this villain to be mine” or “I want this villain to be assigned to someone else” might work.

Mr_Day, what if everyone’s villain designs were assigned to users other than their designers? That way, you wouldn’t be familiar with your nemesis beforehand.

I’m one of those paper doll fanatics, and I too wish to make a tiny headed wonder. The endless customization was what brought me to the city of [x] games in the first place, and it was the atmosphere that kept me there too. All Points Bulletin and this are the only two MMOs that truly interest me right now. And you know what?

I’ll gladly let Champions Online burgle my wallet every month if it’s as fantastic as everyone is making it out to be.

I think the better question is – Can we make robot cowboys programmed for evil?

But then, I just really like the idea of making a Nemesis for your character. One of the first things I asked when City of announced the idea to make your own levels was “Can I make the badguys? Can I use my own villains? If they give me permission, can I use other people’s villains?”

With the Nemesis thing, I just hope it isn’t that every so often, a character you remember pulling together in 5 minutes rears it’s horribly mis-shapen head and says “Aha! Super Twat! We meet again!”

Can you have a really tiny head?

Robot cowboys programmed for evil?!? If they can work the word “Fixificated” into one of the quests, count me in!

Jetlag and not wanting to jump into your intervew rendered the silence. Nothing to worry about.

Well, I know where you live. You should probably worry a little.

Hey Erlam – due to RPS business today, I was unable to do the Gillen-parse on this before it went up. I will fix it now.

Edit: Fixificated.

@Erlam
Give the guy a break he was eating as well as feverishly note-taking/memorizing/recording this conversation.
