Frostbiter Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Detective Miller is modeled on the real Matt Miller AKA Positron. But I'm onboard with this.

Hew Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 If you guys read the fourth book, its pretty interesting. I don't know if I liked Prime's telling of book 4... I felt the book was actually better, but the show had value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is odd, because the in-game Detective Miller looks absolutely nothing like Hal Linden and looks pretty dang similar to how Posi did when the game was running. He might be named after the TV character, but he certainly isn't modeled after him. As for changing the character model to reference the Expanse... eh. It fits the theme of Detective Contact names, but if the Homecoming devs absolutely wanted to make an Expanse reference I'd prefer they just put in a new PPD contact. Maybe in Kallisti Wharf. 2 Global is @El D, Everlasting Player, Recovering Altaholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Icelord Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Being based on Barney Miller fits with the Detective contacts all (or almost all) being references to detective shows. I agree that an Expanse reference would fit best with a new NPC, rather than changing an existing one. 1 Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?

Riverdusk Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yep, I'd vote for Barney Miller (the original reference) over any new one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Tenshi Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I mean, all the radio detectives are police show references though plenty of liberties are taken in terms of looks (presumably to avoid copyright issue), for example there's a Detective Murphy in Brickstown or Founders, though rather than being a cyborg, he's just a PPD in a hardsuit shell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
