I shared your opinion initially, but I've since changed my mind.  I always
end up running games around here, but if I were going to play a Delta, I'd
definately go with the Watcher.  It's just such a neat package.  The tricks
really help, I think.  Using Microwave Vision together with Extra Damage
would be a blast.  I also think Hound would be cool, although I have to
agree that Interrogator would really require a sort of cloak and dagger
campaign to really fit for me.

But I was glad that Matt finally hooked us up with the package old Truth
has.

Ace - superhuman piloting/driving/boating reflexes.

Weird?  I can see why many people might think that, but I disagree that it
is of minimal use in a modern campaign.  I remember seeing a Driver power
package on someone's website and thinking that it could never work, but
sticking it in with WWII is perfect.  I honestly don't know of any of the
packages from GD that I wouldn't find acceptable for a modern game.

But, of course, that's only my take.
