Taking story arcs won't determine your final Hero/Villain status.
When the time comes to leave Praetoria, then you pick Hero or Villain.
You can run any arc, with any alignment, for your time in Praetoria.
When the final mission is ran you can pick Hero or Villain either way.
That said, if your wanting to go the Hero route I'd suggest the Warden and Responsibility Arc's as they tend to be more 'Heroic' than the others.
I'd avoid the Powers arc unless you like feeling evil.

Ahhh, nice to know that you have a choice at the end. I always thought it was the story arcs you choose along the way determine your outcome.|

I'll second hopping back and forth between the Warden and Responsibility paths. See here for contact chain.

Good old Praetoria: where the bad guys torture and kill, and so do the good guys.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Something about Praetoria (I'm not sure if it's deliberate) but: do you notice how the "bad guys" tend to be the ones who are the most extreme, on both sides?
Whereas the "good guys" are the one who are moderate. They may have different beliefs but the don't blow up hospitals or abduct citizens over it.
The good guys on each side seem to be more concerned about the people. The bad guys on each side seem to be more concerned about the enemy.

The good guys on each side seem to be more concerned about not damaging themselves, ethically and morally, than winning. They maintain the social contract.
The bad guys on each side seem to regard "the end justifies the means" as a valid strategy. Overthrow the government at any cost, vs. keep control at any cost.
The Power arcs seem to me as a megalomaniac ego trip.
It's not about the people.
It's not about the system.
Nor is it about Emporer Cole.
It's all about ME!
At least, that's how I see it.

As has already been said, Responsibility and Warden are the most heroic paths, but you'll end up doing some pretty despicable things in all four paths. Avoid Crusader arcs like the plague. Those guys join the resistance to cause mayhem and get revenge. Power starts off as pretty heroic, but quickly degrades into setting things up to make you come off as the greatest thing in the world.

Are there any particular story arcs I should take on the road to Heroism? I just want to make sure that I don't take the wrong path and wind up as a villain. Thanks in advance, Marsha |
