News: MMORPGDot Feature: City of Villains Beta - A Newb's-Eye View
If you've never played 'City of Heroes' before, should you take a look at 'City of Villains'? Wildefire relates his experiences with the City of Villains beta in the final days before the game's retail release, as a newcomer to the franchise:
City of Heroes players often gush about the game's deep character creation system, and City of Villains apparently carries on the tradition. Never before have I seen a game that gave you such comprehensive control over your avatar's looks and initial abilities. After choosing a home server for your new villain, the first things you choose are his or her archetype and origin. The archetype is your character's class, and the origin is kind of a subclass that determines the source of your evil powers, and the abilities available to you. Next, you choose your power sets and your initial powers. In City of Villains, powers are everything- it is only by using your powers that you can fight, flee, or heal. Power sets are fixed collections of powers that you will eventually be able to unlock within the game. You must pick two power sets- a primary and a secondary- and you must pick your initial powers from a limited list of powers in those sets. Read it all here!
