    Elizabeth from BioShock Infinite as seeing alternative versions of me, others, and the world would both be interesting and helpful to making decisions.

    Her powers go beyond that, though. No matter what world she desires, she can find it and enter it or if it doesn't exist, create it. For all intents and purposes, she is a god and the entire multiverse bends to her will.

    And she gave it all up to save one little girl.

    To be fair, having force powers is one of the most adaptable powers you could ever have. Since its inception, Star Wars writers have been able to explain just about anything with "the force let them do it." Telekinesis, foresight, shoot lightning, hold your breath for hours, never tire, never die and LITERALLY CREATE LIFE. If there's something you want to do, the chances are you can learn how to do it if you're strong in the force and not just a common Jedi pleb.

    Do laser rifles and pokeballs count? Those would both technically be technology, but the fun to be had with them... oh boy.

    I could see the news headlines now.

    "Crazy lady flies in on an Aerodactyl and reduces ISIS leader to pile of glowing dust"

    I wish. :grin:

    If I had to pick only one, definitely the Aerodactyl, it can still carry me around and have it's own attacks to boot.

    This isn't from any specific game, but I'd like to be a necromancer.

    I'm a huge fan of the game LIFE IS STRANGE and would like to posses the power of MAXINE CAULFIELD, i.e the power to rewind time.

    Mario his power would be good but painfull, hey nice Porsche...*bangs head against the wall a thousand times...for coins*

    Hmm...what else is there....

    I guess the Matrix game I played once...also like Star Wars not video game related only...but to download skills and go slow mo...that would be nice. Slow Mo showering...haha no...no not that...

    Reverse and freeze time at will like Max Caulfield from Life is Strange.
    Oh, you accidentally spilled your cocoa on your laptop? Just go back a few seconds!

    Oh damn, that is a good one! The possibilities are pretty much endless with a power like that. I'd probably just use it to sleep-in in the mornings

    I dunno, though. The game clearly shows how her powers can have severe consequences. If somebody important to you died, could you really live with yourself knowing that you COULD save them, but absolutely shouldn't?

    Power of mesmers/chronomancers from Guild Wars 2.
    This includes...

    creating clones of yourself,
    changing your appearance,
    invisibility (for yourself/other people/things)
    creating illusionary objects and effects,
    creating force fields,
    teleportation,
    slowing down/speeding up/reversing time (in a limited form),
    gravity manipulation (in a limited form),
    stealing people's memories,
    connecting 2 places with portals that can transport you/other people/things,
    temporarily turning people into moa birds (I need this).

    I just don't like the 'pink' theme, I would rather have it in blue.

    I think that when the main point of your power is illusion, you can make it look however you want.

    Outworld Devourer from Dota 2, being the eternal harbinger of 'bad news' seems like a perfect fit for me. For those that don't know he:

    - Steals people's intelligence, adding it to his own, when attacking (though through physical contact might be better for real life)
    - Can imprison people in a rift between worlds for a short time
    - Has a spell that deals damage based on the difference between the target's intelligence and OD's own.

    In other words, DEATH TO THE STUPID PEOPLE! :grin:

    How about Minecraft?

    Being able to carry literally thousands of tonnes of metal and rock, without so much as a bulge in your pants. :wink:

    That's a nice dichotomy to add to that- while I would be inclined to agree that I would resist the temptation to not upset the balance between life and death- I likely wouldn't. And I guess I would bring on the wrath of the imbalance. But hey, I'll trade you; you get your jedi powers and lightsaber-and Proxima and I get consequence-free time-bending powers :grin:
