I recommend using Taylor's "Will Robinson" (buggy?) build "fs2_open_T-20050807.exe" --- i forget exactly where the link was, i am WAY too tired now after completing this monster of a campaign.
I'd say that I started to get freaked in the nebula, but it was probably the Generation showing back up in my face ("YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!!!" "Memories never die...") ... that ... was ... a major curveball, LOL
Found it interesting that anyone who dies or is "taken by Him" is suddenly one of His pawns...felt like I was in some sort of zombie movie...or that I was facing the transdimensional equivalent of The Borg.
Critique:
In the missions where the pirates are chasing you and you're behind the Poseidons, the Poseidons and their escorts never even acknowledge your presence, which is unrealistic.
After being drafted into the Shadow Guardians, Sunder's callsign becomes Omicron 4, this wasn't immediately apparent, but it happens, and I noticed and accepted it. But a few missions later, Sunder's callsign starts changing between missions. One mission I'm Omicron 4, next I'm Kappa 1 again. Need more consistency there. It then remains Kappa 1 until after Omicron 1 is "taken" when I become Omicron 1 and lead the Shadow Guardians myself.
The mission where you go after Kappa to find out where Sinclair is; you hear NO communications from the Arcadia installation at all, and you'd think it of all things would be screaming bloody murder when the GTVA starts firing on you.
There were a few spelling errors here and there, but I overlooked them. I wish there were a cooler way to depict the unraveling of the universe than a mere "nebula of doom that consumes all" but at least there was SOMETHING.
This was on par with the kind of fun I had with the FS1 and FS2 main campaigns. Very, very good. I like how the player pilot has his own thoughts and ideas. It sorta encourages you to BECOME the role the campaign puts you in.
It draws you in, hooks you better, because your character has thoughts and feelings. It's like flying a novel. EXCELLENT job.
