Robot arms, monster legs, helmets, wings, ears, antennae and whiskers, all swaddled in tuxedo jackets paired with boxing shorts, stiletto heels and barbed-wire wrapped waists. And that's all on one character. Ah, the joys and perils of the City of Heroes/City of Villains costume creator. As Alec Meer notes, "The character editor, especially in the expanded form it takes these days, offers a vast array of possibilities." The important thing to remember is to be ... judicious ... in your development. Feel free to create eye-searing combinations, but don't be afraid to be subtle, either. Just let your vision take flight, and don't focus on trying to re-create extant heroes.
So come on, spill: what are your favorite features of the current (and Issue 12) costume creator, and what would you still like to see improved? Is there a particular alt whose outfit you'd like to show off, or do you have an idea for an outfit, but you're not sure how to create it? While we obviously don't mind talking about ourselves and our fascination with games, we also want to know what makes you tick. Tell us about your alts, would you?
