This Was Your Life...?
ID: 64453

Architect Entertainment has announced that you can now use their holograms to re-live the events of your own past! Take a whirlwind tour of your favorite hero's triumphs and tragedies! (But be advised, there may still be a few bugs in the system...)

Length: Very Long
Morality: Heroic
Level Range: Starts out 1-10, then gradually ramps up to 40-54 for the final mission.
Two missions contain Archvillains, but you get (optional) helpers.
One mission is Defeat All, but it's a small-ish bank map.

Kind of meta and a little bit goofy, but hopefully has some fun surprises along the way. Enjoy!

This is an interesting one: Ms. Liberty invites you to use the AE system to re-live the adventures that led to you becoming a hero, which starts in the sewers and soon leads to you murdering prisoners while having a threesome with Fusionette and Echidna, or something like that. This is an intriguing plot, but sadly the ending is a letdown.

 

No spelling errors, no kill-alls or other time wasters. The writing is a bit sparse, but still well done with several funny touches.

This description is probably the best advertising I could ask for. 😄 

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

I didn't see it that way, perhaps because I didn't see it coming.  I thought it was kind of interesting, 

 

Anyway, well crafted mission well-presented, no swarms of typos or anything.  Also blessedly free of Clues (this is a personal thing, and while I know how important they can be for getting across some parts of stories, I feel they really do just make everything grind to a halt when you have to stop and click to read them).

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...

Fun arc.  You had me at "[Note: Contains an Archvillain, but Fusionette will be there to help.  If that counts as help.]"

 

I found the ending fairly satisfying, but agree that it might have been...I don't know, explained just a bit more at the end.  It's so hard for character dialog to do heavy lifting on plot resolution when you've got all those battle messages scrolling by. 

 

But overall, a fun, well-written arc.

Worth mentioning that all the AVs scaled properly to EBs, which doesn't always happen.

One minor note: I did have to do a bit of back-and-forth hunting in the Arachnos base map; it seemed like the AV spawned behind me and down a floor.  Such is AE, though.
