yeah, the man does not make a good case for why to swap. It might make some sense for Chaotic Azata, who is getting kids killed, etc. more noticeable downsides for going too chaotic. Riots, parties, lack of discipline in ranks getting troops killed, people refusing to pay taxes, deserters, innocents getting killed, etc. so, Sunset is just way too obvious with his totally unazata things he's saying. If would have worked better if he was pretending to be an Angel or Archon. Maybe from Abadar. god of cities, law, merchants and wealth. He could then argue lawful arguments, and again, point out any negative side effect to any decision you make. Then in the end, bring it together and argue you are doing just as much damage as the devils, and how you need rigid structure to fix things. And here a "true" azata, would have made choices to reign in the chaos and do more good then harm in the first place, while a chaotic azata might actually see their mistakes, and it would make some sense for them to do a full 180 swap.

Such a strange take; Lich is AMAZING for Melee as well; so many abilities that boost it as well as spells such as Vampiric Blade. I respectively disagree.

Absolutely agree with Azata. It is so content rich from the floating base, follower recruitment, healing the land, and everything with Aivu. People often overlook the value of Aivu when comparing power levels, as well as the value of sharing teamwork feats and giving your whole party extra feat points as a result. It's not just about outflank, allied spellcaster and tandem trip for all your pets are really nice to have. An Azata individual is not as strong as Lich or Angel, but I'd argue a team with Azata can be just as strong as a Lich or Angel team.

Correction: Angel is strong ONLY if you go merged spellbook because outside of spells this path gives you only halo and sword abilities. And both of them are weakest abilities of all mythic classes.

Becoming a full Lich felt so wrong. So thank you game for the Legend mythic path. Going full caster with merged Lich Spellbook into full fighter was a blast. Literally. And I really like the sentiment of a Wizard searching for the ultimate power, only to discover that his humanity was more important to him. So he picks up the sword, something completely new to him, realizes his wasted talents, fights with sword and sorcery against hell itself and then just dies as a human.

You’ve been spoiling us this week my man

The evil paths are so satisfying in this game. Demon's amazing rise to power story, Lich's power over life and death of their soldiers and companions, Devil being the necessary evil in that you dont lose your allies and Swarm being the strongest build ive ever created in game (Lich melee into Swarm = huge AC with a massive attack range and lifesteal x5 with clones)

Thanks for the video. I think you went beyond video essay with this, and made some gaming culture. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

What annoys me the most is that you basically set up everything you need in Act 3, then wait until 5 to be able to actually play the path. It's like they thought of making it an earlier mythic (considering how little variety that is, that would've been preferable), then changed their mind without doing much to pad the holes left. I frankly hate the idea of "late game Mythic Paths" in general. It's a worthless gimmick. Where's the logic in switching from Trickster to Gold Dragon, theme/narrative-wise? Azata to Devil? Lich to Legend?

@@Herr_Affe Agree. Gold Dragon is one of the paths added by reaching goal in Kickstarter, so I think they fail to make it a whole path in the end. Kind of sad, since I've been hyped to GD even before the game is released.

A spot-on ranked list of the mythic paths.

Doing my first playthrough on ps5. Your vids are so helpful!

Good stuff, thank you!

I just finished with Trickster and I really loved it. First play-through.

I kinda agree with the Gold Dragon not being super usefull. The main problem I have with this mythic path is that it is a "late game" mythic path. You unlock Dragon Form very late at the final act, even if you rush it just to do what is required for the quest (yes, u actually can go to the Ineluctable Prison & get the item & not finish the dungeon and return later). The issue is that there are simply other sources of draconic transformations that can be unlocked as early as level 12 or 13 if I remember correctly. Gold Dragon should have either weaker Dragon form unlocked earlier or maybe some story levels (like a dream sequence) when you control a dragon character. Story & lore wise it is great, but the concept was kinda wasted as its potential was not utilized & It just does not feel that impactful. It does not even have that many dialogue options that would be meaningful if you think about it. Gold Dragon should be kinda like "a Jedi" that can affect & alter what other NPCs are doing to the point that they may even change their alignment (like for example Camellia & her ending). I mean, I can convince the final boss that what they are doing is wrong & show them the way to do good stuff, but not a Companion ?!

Demon was my first choice in my first playthrough, and i dont regret it. Turning things upside down, as tou said, was its charm, and i had a blast playing it. It was only a shame i didnt find out at the time that if i accepted Nocticula's gift it would be 3x harder to beat her, so i just became her second in comand instead. Demonic teleportation was a remarkable skill for me, because i remember well that in the fight against Jerrybeth (dont remember the name exactly) had a very high AC, so i just spammed Demonic teleportation until he died lol.

Same, and the funniest part about it when I did my demon campaign is that I sacrificed myself at the end, and Noticula was so against it that she revived you in the abyss at her side and I found that so cool as well lol

Personal favorites are Angel and Azata as I usually go for the good alignments with Dragon currently still missing that content and never just having found the fun combination for Legend. Still I really like the alternative paths as those choices add a richness to the gameplay with Trickster being the only one that really doesn't even conceptually land for me. Funnily I think the Trickster path is the victim of what I am critical of in the Mythic path implementation as there is really one way to be on that path from a narrative perspective. This is understandable as resources are limited, but if you are a demon, you are forced to be evil and so forth. Which becomes a really big issue with the Trickster as they are this chaotic force, but because of that it ends up self-fulfilling chaos instead of really allowing the player to define a force for what.

Feasting on WotR content just in time for my first run of the game!

Angel and Lich top 2 for me. Book merging and buffs to strong to ignore.

I finished this game with most mythic paths, except Azata. Started a playthrough with fir that yesterday. So far i tend to regularly return to this game to play another mythic path. Awesome storytelling especially taking account the quantum or story arcs that are implemented

Best I can tell it requires your character to be the one doing the identifying and that by itself is enough reason to say no to it most of the time. I dont have a full list but it only ever seemed to increase the enhancement bonus on things for me.

My gripe as far as the Mythic Paths go is that there isn't a really neutral option. Trickster is more leaning into Chaos rather than neutrality. Aeon is all about the Law. Where is the Path for people who don't care about good or evil? Like Druids for example. They can merge with Angel, but Angel doesn't fit Druids. Azata is about healing the land, which is close to what you would be looking for with a Druid, but all the other stuff is Goodie Goodie. Not about balance. I guess the closest thing to the true Neutral path would be Legend. However, going Legend irks me because I really want to stick it to Iomedae lol.

I finished my first playthrough earlier this year, went Sylvan Sorcerer into Merged Lich and decided to get the SDG achievement too because why not and suceeded I might add. I absolutely loved the roleplaying aspect as I was going for a character who values love and friendship but ultimately values power more and in the end when pushed to choose between them will pick power everytime. The allure of "true freedom" to do whatever I desire take what I want slay whomever I want and take whatever I want was my raison d'etre and while I would prefer to take my friends to the top with me if they don't want in or get in the way so be it, actually achieving the Secret Ending with that character was so perfect for that as even the gods themselves could no longer bind me and the characters I managed to keep along the way ascended with me while those who betrayed their commander or who were neccessary sacrifices for power did not, making it simultaneously one of the most glorious and satisfying victories in any interactive story while simultaneously feeling hollow as I grew to miss the comrades and lovers that I betrayed along the way. I sorta modeled the character off of Bloody Harry and was shocked at how perfectly it fit the roleplaying of the lich path, and all that's just story praise. Mechanically it's an absolute blast too 6 unique party members, 2 of which are probably the best preset characters in the game, the Corrupt Magic spell and all the undead immunities oh it was so much fun to roll up on the infamous Playful Darkness and just delete it in 3 turns and then to do the same to all the high and mighty demon lords and bosses and watch them be rendered powerless before me, and despite being the best power fantasy I've ever experienced it still made me work for it, I couldn't sleepwalk through much if any encounters despite how one sided they ended up being and I had to work for that level of power especially in the early game. I'm looking forward to trying the other paths especially the more wholesome ones as a palette cleanser but that Lich playthrough set the bar so high I wonder if any of them can actually match it. I kinda wanna do merged Oracle/Angel next for being OP for an Unfair playthrough but that's all mechanical I haven't really settled on how to role play around that, I do have an idea for a Rob Lucci inspired inquisitor of Asmodeus Aeon into Devil though but that's prolly a little too much evil after just finishing a Lich playthrough and too underpowered for an Unfair or Last Azlanti run as I like to get all the challenge stipulations done first when completing RPGs so that the lower difficulties in future cleanup or for fun playthroughs feel more like the reward of unlocking god mode for completing everything the game has to offer challenge wise.

Swarm is the MurderHobo, Trickster is the Troll who is just doing whatever, and the Legend is the one who takes the game seriously, but doesn't want to follow the story you have planned (but still makes an interesting story.) Azata is like your kid sibling playing.

You know so much about this game you should do a walkthrough guide

As someone who haven't played yet and a bit overwhelmed by the choices for builds already, this mostly-spoiler-free video is real useful to get a rough idea what to expect. But to be honest I'm probably gonna pick gold dragon anyway because my 1st playthrough is always good-aligned and I love me some dragons...

Azata is best because you can halfass through Act 5 not doing several companion quests, no puzzles, get several sliders that you are a lazy crusader and still unlock the 0,5% sadistic game design achievement which I did not get on Aeon when I probably 100% the playthrough.

Good show sir

I absolutely loved Aeon. the ending made me tear up. I started an Azata playthrough yesterday. hope it can live up to aeon

Is it living up to Aeon?

My first playthrough was lich dirge bard and it was great!

My ranking is still the same as it ever was. For arcane casters - merged lich. For divine cssters - merged angel. For martials - 1a Trickster/1b Legend

It's my exact same list, so I guess we're of the same mind on these :D

Let's not forget you can romance Nocticula in the Demon path.

Swarm scores as the top for me: no other path nets you a whole alternate game chapter, with you playing as the literal antagonist! Demon or Lich are small fries in comparison. Only have two real gripes with it: - your clones don't get their copies of class/archetype pet companions (Bladebound being the exception, because its flying black blade more akin to a summon,). - the Swarm's crusade management is destined to fail no matter what you do. No zerg rushing swarms of creepy crawlies devouring crusaders and demons alike.

The reason for the first issue is quite amusing (and fitting, if you think about it): the swarm clones are coded as if they are pets. Makes me wonder if you can cheese things with pet buffing gear.

But seriously, the swarm already divides itself to form 5 clones. It's no stretch of the imagination to hypothetically divide some more and mimic animal companions out of insect clouds instead. Animals using the Swarm overlay would look darn good methinks.

cRPG bro did one of these, ranked Azata much lower - and failed to even mention Life Bonding Friendship in his mechanical assessment. While it might not be important for every party - it can be an exceptionally powerful superpower - freeing up tons of teamwork feat slots for your party. It was at this point that I pretty much wrote off cRPG bro as probably just another KZread copy pasting stuff into video format that he likely doesn’t fully understand. Thanks for putting out great WoTR content!

From what I heard before I played I thought I would hate Azata during my first playthrough but it was the only decent arcane option for good aligned people. It turned out to be one of my favorite runs outside of dealing with the free crusaders.

Despite narrative is not so great, True Aeon has the best ending slides by far for my taste. Was disappointed with Azata. Angel/Demon story has a quality as well.

Alright, mate, you do sound convincing, Azata it is then. Still not sure if it will be more thematic and fun than my first playthrough as human-cavalier/Angel. I called it Winded Hussar.

WHEN THE WINDED HUSSARS ARRIVED PUFFING DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE OUT OF BREATH THEY TURNED THE TIDE

Last stand was really the only mythic power that i would take over any other, and probably influenced my original game play most. Soloing demons and bosses toe to toe, with nothing but your weapon and shield in your arms, really fulfilled my dreams of epic character.

Well damn, I've been waiting to play the game for the first time for quite some time, decided i'll finally start playing next weekend while going in completely blind with an evil mofo so Swarm that walks seemed like a perfect fit. Sad to hear it's the worst of the mythic paths as it looks very cool just for the roleplaying aspect alone. Should I still give it a go? I plan on starting on the normal dificulty.

Give it a shot, it is a pure evil, no manipupaltions, no intrigues just causing chaos and destruction, it is why i don't like it, cause u lose the npcs interactions, but if it is your taste give it a shot

Aeon is my favourite and fufills a fantasy that no other game does. I also love playing a rage filled Demon, then having a redemption arc into overly self righteous Golden Dragon.

Sworm Mythic path used to be buggy? Or is it still buggy today?
