When I started working at Cryptic, the Nemesis system was something I was anxious to learn more about because the idea intrigued me. Being an old-school game master, I've always wanted to have the ability to make my own monsters in every MMO I've played. Or, better yet, make something and show it off to my friends. I think this is one of the reasons The Sims games have been so popular over the past several years. Gamers tend to be an incredibly creative bunch, and they love having an outlet to show off that creativity. That is a huge reason that the costume creation system in the (City of) games was so popular, and why we've been getting rave reviews on our character and costume creator in Champions Online. And by pushing all that creativity into Nemesis, we're really setting the stage to blow the doors off of allowing players to make their own fun.
