Champions Online might be a little too true to comics

While the gameplay is mostly enjoyable (though requiring of more skill than most MMOs), the game has some sexism issues - at least one of which is straight out of the comics. *sigh*

The body sliders are much better, I will give them that. Breasts are a separate slider from the other two chest sliders and there is a slider for muscle definition. It may be possible to pull of a good large muscular woman - I'll have to try.

But there is still a strong assumption - maybe an even stronger assumption - that you're aiming for sexy with your women characters. Part of that is the fact that you only get one face for each sex, which you can then adjust with sliders (which makes different ethnic looks tough as well). For example, the slider that adjusts the lips doesn't really come up with anything that doesn't look wrong without lipstick because the looks are so...artificial. I couldn't find any option for facial scars for women (and only one for the men), either, which is too bad because that can make a character look tougher.

And that no women in the police or military thing is kind of a nagging bother.

I wish I could help with the computer thing. :(

Hell, I couldn't make myself on CoH. I still can't on Champions, thanks to the limited, mostly long, hair options, but I think the breast slider goes small enough now. Though on Champions, I might be able to mess with the male body enough... Hmm... Another expirement to try.
