After seeing quite a few posts talking about dressing your character in MMO games, I wanted to devise an experiment. So I'm going to need your help! Yes, YOU! It'll only take a minute or two, and it'll be fun to see how on the mark some people are.
Here's how this will work. I took screen shots in DC Universe Online, a game with "Hero" and "Villain" sides, of various characters. I placed the characters in random locations in Metropolis, and took pictures of them with and without weapons. Based on the character name, costume and weapon choices, I'd like you to figure out if the character is "Villain" or "Hero".
If you'd like to have a little more fun, try to figure out the main role of the character as well. They're either primarily Damage (hurt things), Healer (heals things), Tank (takes brunt of damage for team) or Controller (replenishes power / mana bar). I would also like if you could comment on your choice, why you think the character is hero or villain.
After a few days, I'll post a followup to this, and there will be a link on the front page. Now there will be some people who know my characters or have seen me livestream, you're more than welcome to participate as well but don't spoil it for others.
Thank you for your help!
