Great to hear, bummed it's only with NPCs and not companions but hey it's a step forward.

I'm a reader big time. I love quest text and dialogue options and Adventure games of the 90s (which were chock full of both).

Yeah I really think if we are going to be taking a close look at the things that are likely to cause tragedies like the one in CT guns really should be the first thing scrutinized. You can't actually kill anyone WITH video games.

Should have read "happy to see Selina..."

Very happy to Selina added to the roster. I do think though that it's strange that ever since Brubaker left the comic she has her goggles pulled up away from her face nearly all the time. I imagine it's because she is infinitely more relatable with her face showing but it does seem to defy all sense to have her unmasked so much. That said, it is of course an exercise in madness to try to make "sense" of superhero costumes.

The new look is pretty interesting. The stylized pulled-back ears make her look more aggressive (think Bucky from Get Fuzzy). Adding tech to her look can be challenging but I like that they have added a few toys to repetoire while keeping her lithe. The cyborg-knee-boots things might take some getting used to. I know that no one can reasonably fight in thigh high leather boots but hey it's iconic. I really like the claw armguards however it seems odd at 17 seconds where they seem to be more flexible than you would imagine.

I do like that they have managed to make a corset "gadgety" without it being steampunk.

@branskamage @AFiercePancake Well he could wield such miracles in his battle against his opponents. It doesn't make sense to be literal minded about Christian deities but then throw out everything we know about Zeus to make him "lightning throwing guy"

@AFiercePancake Probably true of Adam but Moses did have the staff that turns into a snake, parting seas - and maybe the burning bush and pillar of fire could also be worked into his character. Sampson would be a natural.

My first thought is that the answer as to why they would not include the Abrahamic figures - because they are boring and don't interact - unexpected. I assumed it's because they would be too controversial. I do question the notion that they are "peaceful." Has he read the Old Testament?

As a polytheist (really) I don't enjoying killing deities in games like God of War and I always wondered how people would react if Kratos tore people apart at the Last Supper. Games where you get to work with deities like Rise of the Argonauts were a lot more fun (for me personally) in that regard.

@ehkzibiht It was the best-selling Castlevania game to date.

@jackrg According to members of his team (speaking to GiantBomb during their evening video cast), he is deeply involved.
