By the way, it worked. I married that hot girl in 2006.

Before the shutdown, our kids had heroes in the game.

Oh snap! Rock on, GenericHero05! And congrats on starting yourself a supergroup :D

Many thanks.
If I was a Jedi, there's a 100% chance that I'd use The Force inappropriately.

And they all have the same face... oneofusoneofusoneofus :-[

You can make them look sort of different by playing with the sliders, but that sadly takes a level of artistic skill few people possess. I wish they'd add some presets or something.

it's also a skill which is hidden. the sliders controlling head shape are hidden in a sub menu under the body size menu at the end of the customization menu. unless you're specifically looking for it, it's very easy to skip right past. And even then, it doesn't do much to change the face, just the shape of the head it's mounted on. eye shape, mouth shape, and skin texture remain largely the same

You can also set a facial expression/attitude on one of the last tabs, the one where you choose your standing/walking stance. There you can choose 'Determined', 'Angry', Happy, etc. Setting that makes a HUGE difference in your facial appearance, I use that one a lot. It takes your sliders and multiplies the possible combinations by about 6 times.

The problem is that they make a huge difference.  Seriously, those are the most over-the-top facial expressions I've ever seen.  Of them, I only ever finding myself using "normal" and "pleasant" because they're the only ones that don't seem to put your character through uncanny-valley levels of facial contortion.

Especially "Courageous."  *shudder*

Eyebrows do not work that way!

Mine was KinThalas, an old character of mine in SpellForce 1. He was a claws/regen scrapper on Triumph, my first 50 and the one who had the honor to test new stuff in CoH. He went on with me to The Secret World and I certainly hope the two of us can either go back to CoH one day, or start over in a new superhero game.

First character I ever made was a Dark/Regen scrapper named Name Theft.  The name was suppose to be Modnar (random backwards)  because I just hit random a few times then was ready to create the character.  Sadly someone had already made a character with that name.  So I went with Name Theft.
