Best is doing that first and then switching to blueside for Nance -> Adair. The nice thing about DMac->Leonard is it can end on a fairly heroic note if you want. Plus, who doesn't want a badge called "Army of Me"?? 😈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trike Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My favorite mission arc is the Keith Nance doppelgänger one. My favorite *map* is the Frostfire finale one. I never tire of slippin’ around and skating down that ice ramp. That said, I am curious about some of these others, such as the Dark Astoria one. I haven’t played that in over a decade, so I’d like to give it a go. What’s the first contact there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine X Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If you want to do the entire run you need to visit Captain Nolan outside the PPD Station on Peregrine Island. It is an Introduction Arc that begins with a Suicide on Peregrine Island and is a very cool mini-arc in itself with some unique sets. He then Inroduces you to the first Dark Astoria Contact Heather Townshend. " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

I mean... even if it's a unique feature of the Frostfire experience, surely by endgame there's no harm in a few more? Perhaps a little variety, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be too hard. They apparently have the 'slidey' effect set up so that it can be applied to various surfaces. We've seen various frozen lakes we could slide around on. 1 Originally on Infinity.

Bionic_Flea Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Oh, Wretched Man! (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Seer_Marino#Oh.2C_Wretched_Man.21) is one of my favorite story arcs. One of the few that I will read every word. But favorite single mission? Probably the Finale of Number Six's arc that someone else mentioned. (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Number_Six#Finale:_New_Earth) Interestingly, I was about to start a similar thread when I saw this. My thread: What's your favorite content and why? Is it the story, the maps, the action, the rewards, something else? Edited August 2, 2022 by Bionic_Flea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetRidOfWires Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I like stuff I consider challenging and/or investing. Agent Watkins in Steel, I look at that as a test of my early builds. The final mission from Heather Townshend in DA: another test to see if you can save both of them in time. I think I have only succeeded in the Descent of the Hydra trial once or twice Same for the Hamidon section of the LGTF I still find Shauna Braun's arc interesting, seems like there is no right answer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonSheep Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 i hear there‘s a mission in AE which is quite popular, some sort of meteor with fiery enemies?… 😉 the eden trial is my favourite “mission” in the game, used to be an amazing challenge back on live frostfire also a classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic_Flea Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yeah, the first time you run Eden and see the map and the bones is definitely a "woah" moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High_Beam Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't even know what mission it is other than its low level against the Clockwork (and I don't think a story arc, definitely not Clockwork Captive) and there is wandering NPC dialog from a Clockwork that says "I Hate" followed by the name of my character (i.e. I Hate High Beam). There is something so satisfying that these little robot creeps have that much hate for my character that they just say it while wandering around always. Whenever I see it I just laugh. Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Two Gun Trixie Babes of War - Excelsior - Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria Several alts and of course my original from live on Freedom, OG High Beam (someone else has her non OG name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50caltech Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 my favorite story arc is vigialty shana brauns in indy port.....fun story arc, mostly mooks / mobsters which goes towards gangster accolade, plus its the only story arc that actually feeds lusca instead of killing her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
