[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9247483, member: 7026617"] Its illegality is irrelevant. You could very much still do it with as much practical system support. The fact that MHR fans didn't recognize that modelling was not a useful creation method for people did not change that; it still added up to "write down what you think is appropriate" which wasn't any more satisfying there than it would be in any other game to them. The later is, indeed, what people mostly expected. You're not required to agree with them, but as I said, modelling wasn't legitimate as far as they were concerned. I could expand on why, but all it would do is show there's two camps on this. But combined with the fact the game system did not care much about anything resembling inter-character balance (helped a bit by the fact the differences had to be fairly pronounced before they were strongly noticeable because of the mechanical compression in Cortex), modelling was not viewed by a lot of people as a satisfactory character generation method for original characters. As such, to them, it didn't really count. [/QUOTE]
