Until a few weeks ago I hadn't even heard of Funcom's upcoming MMO, The Secret World. I have been too wrapped up with what has been happeing in Star Wars The Old Republic and Diablo 3. Maybe I had blinkers on, or maybe I had just missed the original hype when this game was announced.
When I first saw the trailors I was intrigued. Here is an MMO that offers a variation to the leveling grind that most other MMOs force you into. Not only that, the setting is the very world we live in. You can be you, with super powers. That was enough to make me want to play this game.
I'm not the type of gamer who creates characters they want to look at as they play (like guys creating sexy, skimpily clad Night Elfs). All my characters over the years have been avatars of myself, although in most cases, a little bit more buff! Here I am in The Secret World.
The Secret World gives you the choice of three different factions (Dragon, Illuminati and Templars) but all factions give you the same character creation options. So apart from the background setting of the character creation screen, the faction doesn't make any difference to the type of character you can create and how they look.
