Arc 126582: "Two Households Alike"
Recent comment on the arc:
[Tell] #####: Feedback on Architect Mission Two Households Alike: Definitely one of the better arcs out there. Like that so many underbosses with 'nicknames' have appropriate bio info with hints to their background and such. Good job setting up the player to hate Diablo and thus set up the full impact of the letter souvenir. Not sure if there was anything in Diablo's dossier clue early in the arc that would foreshadow his turn of heart. Maybe you don't want to have that, make it come out of nowhere. A subtle note like "he has not known friends, or even lovers" which
[Tell] #####: which might hint a loneliness in retrospect which would motivate him. Not sure. Surprise twist works, but also nice to have a hint you can't see at first, but gives different meaning after the end.

A comment (and five-star rating) for this arc:
I had to think about this one for a bit. I gave it 5 stars because it did what it set out to do: be a kinetic crime drama with an unhappy ending. I think that the early part of the arc was much better than the latter; you did a good job showing the crime war (mission 2 was inspired) while I thought the narrative lost steam near the end. I didn't think it was challenging - mission 5's imps and boss required a bit of forethought, but the remainder of the arc was non-stop face mashing. Overall, a good one. |

I've made a few changes to this arc, mainly in the form of some new custom mobs:
