I flip/flop between "The Ark" and "Silent Cartographer" (reply)

Silent Cartographer. The Ark was great & freakin' massive, but that's also a bit of its downfall, I feel its a little too long. Silent Cartographer is a bit too short, but of higher quality, IMHO.

The first time I played SC, I got completely lost in the first underground area and spent over an hour trying to find my way out.

I fell off the cliffs in T&R more times than I could count.

Most aesthetic experience in the game. Also it is the last mission before having to go back to trash ghost. I would pay real human money for alternate ghost audio packs.

Now that you mention it I remember that I too have become lost trying to climb out of the underground area.

I don’t know what it’s calked, but the one where you get the AI Core from deep in the Arcology and escape in a tank is always really fun. Busting into the Arcology for the first time made my jaw drop, and then realizing we were going to get a tank to drive out was awesome.

I can never play them again.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Indiana Jones? Adieu. (reply)

I am already surprised by the amount of Adieus…

Good grief, why?

Loot system jokes aside, it just oozes atmosphere and I think is a great job of world-building. And that music... OMG.

My only complaint about it is that it seems to me that it's foreshadowing a deeper story about Hawthorne that we almost, but don't quite, get.

Oh You ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (reply)

I'm curious as to what some of the best liked story missions are here on DBO.

I think my favorite is Cayde's Stash. There's just something about going up the tower and seeing everything that I really like.

I like that one, too, and I like King of the Mountain (where you first go to the Iron Temple) for similar reasons. Unfortunately, I tend to like missions that can be played only once per character. Music also plays a big role in whether i like a mission. I always enjoyed The Last Array, mainly because of the music. Same for Adieu. Jay Weinland (yesterday): "The music saved that level."

My favorite mission of the new game has to be Chosen, at least until the boss fight.
