DougGraves Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Normal arc fighting skulls. Then you become a villain and beat up BAB? WTF? Why is that mission there?
Darmian Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) As far as we can gather it was meant to be a lead in to further arcs involving the Skulls and the Petrovics, BAB and Deadlock and so on, but the game was shut down and they were never made.

ZemX Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Well, YOU don't become a villain. These "personal story" things got sprinkled around at some point to flesh out a story not involving the player character. I'm not really a fan of them either because you get put in someone else's skin, they have crap for powers, typically get to jog around the mission at non-sprint speed, etc. I'd rather watch a cutscene, tbh. 2 2 2

SuperPlyx Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 The Emperor Cole's Personal Story one is fun to do once or twice. 2
Greycat Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 There are several personal story arcs like that.

TraumaTrain Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 I think the personal story missions are a neat insight into things going with some of the major NPCs. And they are all worth a badge to play through. On the bad side, most of them are pretty clunky to play through. 1
Carnifax Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 The last few arcs added to the game have these for the most part. Some Dark Astoria contacts end in them I believe, as does Number 6s arc and the New Praetorians arc in Bricks. Most are indeed pretty clunky to play.

Wavicle Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 In general I like the personal story missions, but that one is very poorly implemented, if you do it higher than about level 16 or so it becomes very, very difficult. Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon

It's a mixed bag for me. The Heather Townsend one felt half assed I'm particular. They could have had some ghosts representing her survivors guilt or something. Why TF is she looking at two boxes instead? Pretty much all the other DA ones are really good IMO. The Praetor Duncan one made me like her as a character quite a bit.
