Formulating thoughts. This shall take a minute, as there is a lot to go over.

Here are my thoughts. Please do not read until you have read the mission.
The overall feel I got from Abby was 'badass'. She was extremely cool in the face of danger, but not so much that she wasn't aware of it. She read the situation, knew when to leave, got off some nice shots at the end, and her last line really made me smile. Our big, bad Balmadaar buddy was awesome too, but I feel Abigail even outdid him in how tough she looked.
Love the reveal of Sasha's power, like an angelic warrior born on the battlefield. I really can't wait to see them develop more. What I'm not looking forward to is how this affects her psyche. And when Trickster pinned Mikhail... man. I was like 99% sure he'd survive the fight, but my heart still lept into my throat.
Can I use badass again. Well, I am. The description of Reflection was chilling, and the lack of dialogue from him made it all the better. And I loved the nod to his father. Ass kicking, badass mothereffer.
Not much to say except very, very, very good first introduction. Made me think of Dhoulmagus from Dragon Quest 8, and that's a good thing.
"Such a pity..."
"Such a pity..."
Good way of showing there are always consequences for your actions, and that those that do not take the time to THINK will often lose their head... or everything else.
Absolutely loved it. Chilling, suspenseful, action packed, and good foreshadowing for the struggles to come, and to show that the arrival at Forseti will be just the beginning.

Glad those scenes were done well. I was a tiny bit tempted to kill Mikhail, but only a passing whim that I would never have acted on.
Good. Because half of the time I wasn't sure what the hell I was doing with his dialogue, but I'm glad it panned out.
Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I loved it. There is just something... extra chilling about an enemy with his kind of personality.
Reminds me a little of Kefka from Final Fantasy 6 as well.
Absolutely.
Use Kefka as a base and top it with the Joker, and a chill runs down my spine.

Trickster is basically Evil James.
No... in no way is that even close. Trickster is basically a Good Viktor if you want comparisons. Evil James equivalent is like an angsty teenage girl.

Ouch! XD
And if Nick had an Evil side, it would literally just be a Nick who curses, that's it

Evil James is actually Good James, because real James is actual evil. Plot twist!

How would the Trickster be "Good Viktor?"
Cause Viktor was just that evil in comparison.How would the Trickster be "Good Viktor?"
I don't know... Trickster seemed pretty evil...
Though... being the optimist, I'm gonna assume he's just misunderstood. The knives are just an extension of his mommy issues.

It turns out the lily we saved was actually a Sex Bot build by Viktor and the real Lily is enjoying a lovely vacation on the beaches of Barbados.
