Firstly, don't freak out all. The PTB isn't even out yet, there's no way we can talk about his power seriously in any capacity. That being said, what do you think about Richards' explanation? It sounds a little too similar to Plague IMO, with the Infection mechanic, going to get a vaccine, etc. Maybe there's more aspects to Nemesis Infx vs Plague Infx, like a unique status effect or something. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Forgot to include the AI Zombies, they look/sound amazing (in the demo they showed), I hope the addons can affect the Zombies as well as the Infx mechanic.

    Plague keeps you injured and then is a somewhat anti-stealth M1 killer unless you cleanse in which case they get the damage vomit.

    Nemesis either M1s you or tentacles you to infect you and then eventually he can damage you with the tentacle directly. He doesn't have any built-in anti-healing. He also has the zombies which may be able to force pallet drops near generators.

    I'm gonna spam the tentacles, especially against Steve and Dwight, and that hunk! Can't wait to see the mori.

    I'll need to play him to be sure, but he sounds a lot like Plague, but more. Infect, anti-stealth, build power and ranged attack from infecting. It sounds awesome on its own, but it takes a lot of her design elements and I question how much she'll be able to do that he can't, considering he's also got zombies and the survivors have more limitations towards their 'cleansing.'
