Added DiffLines:

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Two strikes, Lake of Shadows and The Arms Dealer, were given an overhaul in a effort to refresh the playthrough experience. While similar things had been done before, this time it fully integrates the recent story developments to have you combat the new faction type Shadow Legion, new mini-boss checkpoints and even the MissionControl dialogue is updated. The Arms Dealer in particular lampshades the RecycledScript, implying [[ActuallyADoombot the boss of the original strike might have been a decoy]].

Added DiffLines:

* NoAntagonist: Downplayed. While the Shadow Legion are the main enemy, there aren't any actual figureheads for them that directly engage with the protagonists for this season's story. The Shadow Legion being an army of {{Empty Shell}}s makes them just exist as another faction of enemies to fight, while their actual leaders are either dead (Calus), not directly participating in the story of ''Defiance'' (Nezarec), or having left the setting entirely (the Witness).

* BackForTheDead: Asher's survival is confirmed at the start of //node.ovrd.AVALON// after over two years of no direct correspondence, but the Vex are still chasing him since he is registered as an anomaly in their networks, and it's gradually suggesting that something is killing him regardless. At the end of the third week, he is no longer able to outrun the Vex and silently passes away as the radiolaria consumes him at last.

* CessationOfExistence: At the end of Week 4, Asher Mir is captured by the Vex at last and disintegrated into Vex data, erasing him from reality. There is a chance he might be able to be reconstituted, but it's functionally the equivalent of looking for a needle in a universe-sized haystack.



* FourIsDeath: Amanda dies during Week 4 in ''Mission: Jailbreak''.

* FourIsDeath: Amanda dies during Week 4 in ''Mission: Jailbreak''. During the same week, Asher ceases to exist as an individual, as revealed in the secret ending of //node.ovrd.AVALON// and the Scribetrace Shell.



* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The main quest focuses on the Young Wolf's quest to free prisoners from the Shadow Legion as they invade Sol. At the same time, Asher Mir is being chased by a rebuilt Brakion after stealing a quarter of a googol of files on the Black Fleet[[labelnote:*]]A googol is ten duotrigintrillion or a one followed by 100 zeros, so Asher has stolen a total of [=2.5DTG=] or 2.5*10^99 files[[/labelnote]], requiring him to tear open a portal to the EDZ so that the Young Wolf and Mithrax can help him extract his research and undermine the Vex network in the process.

Curiously, both end in a major character death during the fourth week caused by [[TrapIsTheOnlyOption being forced to set off a trap for the greater good]].
