From the praise it's getting, my guess would be Dr. Aeon or Hero 1.

If you haven't had a chance to try it out yet, make some time.

Not really possible - but I'll read up on them at paragonwiki - D-Mac sounds amusingly sleazy

Naw, I loved him. He matched my villain's personality of "Somehow fails to understand how disgustingly depraved this all is". We shared an epic high five. |

But I loved that you could choose your dialogue to reflect whether you round him endearing or annoying. That was brilliant.
Also, agreed. I brought my main out of retirement to play these stories, and every step has been a blast. This may sound snarky, but I mean it sincerely: It feels like they took every complaint people have had about red-side writing and swirled together a perfect answer. I haven't enjoyed such a story in a very long time.
Dr. Aeon did the new villain arcs.

It was funny because that was the only response you could pick and it was oh so right. How else do you respond to a question like that?

The funniest text in the whole game:
If there's anything Dean knows, it's what gender somebody is!
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
I agree.
Talking with Dean has been one of the most enjoyable contact interactions I've ever had in this game.
That what's the clone look like bit and all the high fives had me laughing all the way. And that he's a guy who knows you're tough and can kick his butt and so he plays it safe (stupid, but safe) and doesn't try to back stab ya.
I loves ya, Dean. High-fives!

True, I may have wanted to slap him, but he's OK. Slimey, but ok. I liked the multiple reply options. Now I have to play him through with several characters to try all of the options.

Gotta say the new arcs are awesome, thank you for all your hard work devs, it's really showing. Hope we see a LOT more of this calibre of story in the future!
My favorite line from him was...
"That's worth a high five or atleast a fist bump!"
I could picture my Arachnos Soldier (who does it because it's a stable paying job, not because she loves Recluse or causing evil) just sighing and putting out her fist for a fist bump.
We did share an intense high five at the end though...
It was strange how my dialogue choices slowly moved from 'finding you annoying' to 'actually finding you endearing and likeable' through the course of the arc in a very natural way, Dean earned my Soldiers trust and she grew to like him, at the end of it I could quite easily picture her just rolling her eyes and deciding to give Dean a chance of a date...
They were good, but the Hero Arcs were much better.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Five Stars.
I didn't mean to spend an hour or so playing through it but I couldn't stop. Wonderful story, wonderful writing, plot twists, and several "what the?" moments.
If this is the kind of thing you're planning for GR, bring it on. It can't get here soon enough.
