Video Game Morality
So, anyway, I've been surfing around all the various nerd sites, and I found out recently there's gonna be an X-men create-a-character RPG, also known as the only type of video game I play that isn't Sims. As you can imagine, this created some excitement. One of the reasons:
This is potentially a video game I will take the dark side path on!
This is very exciting. I am pretty much physically incable of taking the bad-guy route in RPGs. My Revan in KotOR started out as a brusque sort of chaotic neutral in the planning stages, but by the end of the game was so light side she literally had a giant halo-thing. Even my blood mage in Dragon Age is kind and helpful.
But this? Will I get to fight teammates? Will one of them be Scott Summers? He was in the trailer. How painfully can I kill him? Or will it be old-charaterization Scott, so I won't want to? Either way I win. Can I join the Brotherhood? Can I please please please? Oh, this is so exciting.
I have no idea when it will be out. I assume I will be in college.
Also, note: I've heard great things about Batman: Arkham Asylum/City, but why so few DC games otherwise? I want a Green Lantern RPG next. I will make a Milagro Reyes and then I will kick Sinestro's butt.
