Brutes and Stalkers as Heroes?

[jerjabs]

My first time back in Atlas Park I was surrounded by archetypes that I thought were only villains.  Can you play any archetype now as a "hero"?

[Rylas]

That was a feature added to the game a few years before being shuttered. First you could do a mission arc to take your hero or villain to the other side. Then they made it so that you could create any archetype as hero or villain from the start.

The "epic" archetypes are the exceptions -- you still can't start as a villainous Kheldian or a heroic Arachnos operative. You *can* switch sides after the fact, though.

That is what the "last stand of Galaxy City" is all about: an intro that lets you choose.

When City of Heroes Freedom launched, they added the ability play (almost) any AT as a Hero or Villain. So I was able to re-roll my old Tank as a Brute with Titan Weapons :D
