Today, I flipped through the latest Gameinformer and read the article about Champions Online.
Holy felgercarb. I need this game.
Like City of Heroes/Villains, you can custom your character to an unbelievable degree. There are a few very important differences, however.
1) You can customize the appearance of your powers.
2) You can customize your animations. Beastly character? Walk on all fours. Psionic master? Float with arms crossed.
3) When you create your character, you also create your arch-nemesis. A custom NPC overboss that is at the center of a lot of your quests and stories - and it's possible to defeat him permanently, either locking him up or, presumably, killing him, at which point you create a NEW arch-nemesis. And like your player character, he's completely customizable.
I'm also a big fan of the "comic-shaded" graphics. Very comic-book-like, much more so than CoX.
So, in addition to Hero's Journey, I'll be a Champions Online fanatic. Who's with me??
-- UPDATE: I now own championsonline.org. I plan on having the very first fan site for the game...
