I ran this with the Legendary crew last night, as Purrfect Scrapper. I liked the storyline, and Penelope Yin's dialogue had me -rolling-.
That said... I know you've scaled it for solo play, but... it felt waaay too easy, even taking that into account. Scraps dropped once, I'll admit, but
that was due to absorbing two alpha strikes at once right after SoW dropped. Other than that she had no issues.
That may be due to Willpower being an overpowered scrapper set, but most of the cons were blue, so I really thing it's the levels involved.
I liked the ability for a twist ending. I'm going to run this again solo soon to try out both versions.
Finally, the last thing I noticed may not be your issue to solve at all, but it could have been related to the number of NPCs on the map, as well. I'm not
sure. I was slide-showing throughout the mission, from the time it started and that first NPC ally joined up until the very end -- or rather, close to the
end, when my 'puter decided it had had enough abuse and crashed. Note that I have no problems running (say) ITF or LGTF on this machine.
I personally would recommend tougher enemies and fewer NPCs wandering around. The friendly patrols really didn't seem to do much beyond mopping up Longbow
before we got there and getting the the way of doorways.
They made for good atmosphere, but not very good gameplay, in my opinion. If that makes sense.
Dialogue, though, wow. You really nailed Penelope, I think, and the whole thing felt very slick.
