To any Villains that played Dean MacArthur's arc (SPOILERS!)

Hmmm...

High-Fived him...

Saved the clone...

Didnt robbed the bank...

Let the clone walk and find a life of its own...

Hmmm... I think my brute is starting to GR...

Unless you were both very short, it's have to be a low five if you did it under a table.

Late to the party, as usual.

I totally high-fived Dean; he's a broseph and a proven ally.

As for my last(?) clone? I exterminated with extreme prejudice. When I still had my lab's resources, clones of myself running around weren't an issue because I could always get my team of scientists install some sort of failsafe mechanism into future generations to ensure that they'd be loyal to me. With the lab gone, any existing clones would have free will ... they could do anything, from saving kittens to exterminating the Jews (yeah, i went there ). They could seriously screw up my PR! So no way, there's only room in this world for one Goliath Bird Eater.

My character saved her clone. She's a massive narcissist, and it's not every day that you get an opportunity to make out with yourself.

I wanted to high-five Dean, but I couldn't in the end, because I picked the other conversation option: not the "I refuse to high-five you" one, but the "what happened?" I was thinking of getting the important questions out of the way first, and then I'd high-five him when it was clear that it wouldn't be a premature celebration. I was slightly disappointed that I couldn't do that.

Like Sam Tow, my first impression of Dean was a strange urge to punch him in the face; he reminded me so much of Willy Wheeler, and I was pretty irritated by how that one went down. But after I talked with him some more (the early clincher was "so what did your clone look like?", which actually did make me laugh), and learned his backstory, I found myself warming up to him. He's still irritating, and he still needs to work on his flirting technique (or lack thereof), but it's a sort of irritation between friends now, rather than the I KEEL YOU sort.

The writers did a great job of making Dean a character, rather than a cutout: he didn't need to go through character development or anything; all of it was just me learning more about him, and getting used to him, to turn my opinions around.

About the clone: I almost missed it, mainly because I looked at the timer, looked at the fires, went "oh gods I'm going to die", and hit Flight. It was the speech bubble which caught my attention.

I saved my clone because, well, it's intelligent enough to talk to me, intelligent enough to call out for help, and it wouldn't have taken long for me to rescue the clone. Most of my redside characters (including the one who actually played through the arc) aren't really villains anyway (or at least not outright evil).

And I didn't rob the bank because I found it hilarious to just saunter in, ask for a money transfer, and leave, entirely legally. It would be completely unexpected from the point of view of the civilians, which would help with a reputation for unpredictability.

Most of my characters, blueside and redside, have a common character trait, which is overwhelming curiosity: they would see what there is to be seen, and learn what can be learned. (The difference between blueside and redside is in what direction this learning takes.) So I let my clone free, on the condition that it told me what it wanted to do. When it said it wanted to learn about the world, hell yes I was letting that clone go with my blessings.

I suspect just about every one of my villains (except those I don't bother playing anymore) will be Going Rogue.

I don't know the exact dialogue from the SNL skits, but when Dean was talking about "champagne" it made me think of Christopher Walken... if someone actually remembers more from those skits, and goes through the mission, I'd be interested to learn how similar they are (it probably won't go much farther than a superficial similarity, but still).

In the end I high fived Dean. At first I was annoyed by Dean's attempts to hit on my female character but I played it into the fact that my character was just using his attraction to her as a means to string him along and get whatever info out of him. In the end my character got a lab that would create a legion of followers that would do my bidding and all I had to do to get it is high five a guy, deal!

I saved my clone and in the end let her go free mostly because my character always felt life has been handing her the short end of the stick most of her life. So why she want to do it to herself, in a sense the clone will probably living the life that my character always wanted.

D-Mac knows his ravioli

I high fived Dean to be sure. And am I the only one that heard Knox Harrington from Vampire The Masquerade:Bloodlines as his voice while reading his text? That super juiced up "oh man, this is so awesome!" feel is just there.
