Some new information on the early storyline and character choices players will make is being reported over at Variety's "The Cut Scene". In a sort of City of Heroes origin choice on steroids, players will choose from three specialties when creating a hero or villain in DC Universe Online: tech, superhuman, or magic based powers.

This choice will determine who you hook up with when you start the game, as well as the storyline your character will follow. Although, it's important to note that all these storylines will tie into the main plot.
If you choose a superhuman hero to start, you'll be hooked up with Superman and be immediately thrust into things. The difference will come in how the different characters handle and approach situations, so if you're hooked up with Superman your tasks might be different than say if you were hooked up with Batman as a tech hero.

3 choices are ok. I do hope this expands. I am not sure where my Hawkgirl homage character will fit.
depends if she uses gadgets(sp) which would be Tech, If she were changed by gamma rays or like Superman you would be superhuman and Magic would be see any fantasy based mages......
Liking the looks of this, hope SOE does not bomb this one...cannot eblieve I will actually be giving them another chance to take my money :)
I wonder if super heroes/villains being paired with metropolis heroes/villains and tech heroes/villains being paired with Gotham heroes/villains is only like that for the start of the game or for some reason becomes a trend through out the game.
