It's tempting me into foregoing my "wait 6 months" rule for new MMORPG's.So let me ask you guys about some stuff I'm not clear on after doing all that reading. First off, is it correct that there's no real type of stealthy character to build? Or are there powers like invisibility or intangibilty? If I show up at an instanced mission, do I just plow into bad guys immediately, regardless or whether I'm Batman or The Hulk, or do I get to do any sneaking around corners or creeping along catwalks? I heard that characters do things in missions like find clues, download files from computers, and disarm bombs. Does this really add any dimension to doing missions? It seems like those elements would affect your tactics and perhaps encourage a degree of subtlety, but if they're just things you do to complete a mission after beating the snot out of the bad guys, then that's not really the case.Do origins really mean anything for your character? So far, it sounds like the devs copped-out on doing anything with them. I know that there are different types of enhancements for different origins, but if one origin can all get the same enhancements that every other origin can get (just with different names), then that's not a meaningful distinction.</blockquote>
