City of Villains Q&A, Part Three

MMORPG.com has dished up the final installment to their three-part City of Villains Q&A with Cryptic Studios’ David “Zeb” Cook. A snippet:

Q: Assuming CoV has a sidekick/exemplar option, what is the villainous reasoning behind it to tie in with the games atmosphere?

A: Every good villain sometimes has a lackey, the CoV version of sidekicks. As far as villainy goes, it’s always good to have someone to abuse– er, train. Likewise, more powerful villains have been known to tag along to bail lesser companions out of trouble. In CoV we call them malefactors. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate your obvious superiority — “Hah, I’ll help you crush these fools without even using my death ray eyes!”

They’ve also tossed up two new screenshots from the now-gold expansion/standalone MMORPG.
