IoTM Review: If I could see my character, I’d probably never equip this.
I mean, helmets in RPGs suck. My characters look so lame in helmets. So my superhero in Twilight Heroes would look incredibly lame wearing this month’s IoTM, the Mask of Odysseus. Cause, you know, it’s a mask. Nobody could see my neat face! Maybe!
At first glance, this is just a worse Wolley’s Index or, of course Hero’s Cape. I mean, that’s 5% less Item Drop, and that’s the good stuff!
Of course, you can equip this WITH the other items, but maybe that’s beside the point.
Basically, I see this as a more fun Wolley’s Index. The Index is boring. It’s pure statistical benefit with no fun involved. The Mask does interesting combat things. Interesting combat things make me happy. I do smiling when I’m happy. Unless I am purely grinding for items or really, really want to be optimal, which probably won’t happen, I really can’t think of a reason why I would equip Wolley’s Index over this ever again for that reason.
Maybe I like things for stupid reasons. Maybe I should just work to be the best and have the biggest stats, etc.
But I’d rather do it with STYLE, man. Fucking style!
Even if that style involves a mask that I wouldn’t actually like to see on my character.
Style.
