(You play as Ray in this chapter!) Rays team was captured by Ares and his wife handed over to the Spikes. She was infected by a dangerous parasite and he made a deal with a spirit to dispose of the parasite.

Can he recover his memories and save his wife before the master destroys the puppet? (DMS/Seattle only)

Thanks for the answers and the good work coming up, molefixer! I guess I have to get back to my save games and finish all the side quests, because I believe I only got an alternative ending :)

@innervisionary continued-- Question: Did you finish the main story then get all the optional side quests at the end or just an alternate ending? The main story will take you into the astral to deal with quite a few spirits, the alternate endings will not.

Yeah, I am currently working on a modified version for the new directors cut edition and I am going to add more story into it and I intend to add her into it. It will continue from my Desert Wars campaign. I am hoping to eventually add a new chapter after Darkness Falls as well, but time is the issue. These things take a while to make and test and then fix when they go into beta testing and then fix bugs that occur when steam updates things. I love story telling though so it should eventually get done. In the new chapter 2 for the DC I am changing it so you can play a character of your chosing, but it is still all from Ray's perspective. I am adding some more story into it as well. I want to have some side stories that run alongside the main one. That was the original idea for Shasta, but I just haven't worked it out yet.

I got the idea, still as a gaming experience being confused all along is quite ... annoying for sure if you want to immerse the player as Ray and how he feels, you made it well! . IMHO should not last a full chapter, or it should go quicker.. By the way I completed part 3 and would be glad to see more stuff maybe some runs with/for Shasta who gave her number?

The idea is to be confusing. Ray is possessed with amnesia so you see things as he does which is all in the dark as the Fallen runs him through the gauntlet. It is all basically just to let you see where his mistake from rash actions has taken him. The Fallen controls what he sees and is trying to manipulate his thoughts making him quite irritable. I am adding to the story as I remake it for the director's edition though.

Part 1 was nice, and I started part 3 which looks quite good too, however part 2 is quite a pain in the *s* to play. The underlying idea with the Fallen stuff is great, but it is really really hard to follow where you are taken, not speaking of ennemies spawning from nowhere without logic. If you have time, Molefixer, please try to rethink the storytelling (at least) to help understanding a little why we are playing this whole chapter..

Consistently poor storytelling. Random enemies spawn in open space with no rhyme or reason. Combat spaces are open without cover or any tactical considerations. Character statistics are inflated, nonsensical, and in some cases rule-breaking. HP values range from 300 to 30 with no consistency. Large sprawling maps with nothing in them but some item pickups and random encounters. Quest markers are buggy or nonexistent. Action triggers are unclear and often pointless.

Everytime I see the loading screen ares facility nothing happend. I try it three times now and always the same problem.

@Kaiwalker01-- Are you still experiencing the issue? I just ran through both the ares scenes and it loaded fine for me.

Hi, I have the same problem as Arkarus. No stuck on loading screen ares facility :-(
