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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?!

I remember hearing it described as "being so bad at being Chaotic Good that you loop around to being Lawful Evil" once, so mixing that with a low Int or Wis character can have an effect similar to playing low Int in Fallout 1 or 2.

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.

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?

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.

You know so much about this game you should do a walkthrough guide
@Kurgosh1Ай бұрын
Angel is super OP for divine casters. Azata gets me a cute baby dragon. Both of these things are great. The other nice thing about Azata is that the powers work with a wide varieties of builds.

I just can't think of making another mythic path after two Azatas, too tempting man
@robertgalindo5979Ай бұрын
I don't think I myself would put Azata so high up, but damn does it have the single best scene in all of the mythic path content. I'm talking about the slave scene in hell of course.

We have similar rankings. The idea of the trickster put me off from even attempting it along with the swarm. Demon is my fav but it would've been Devil if you had the chance to get it earlier in the game like Aeon and other Mythic Paths

I know right now when I finish my playthrough(Azata) I will do an evil playthrough as a Lich and can't wait to have my undead anime plot
@stupnevromanАй бұрын
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.

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.

Mort, As it pertains to Azata and unlocking Devil You mentioned that it was strange that an exotic could end up as the devil's option. I want to say that I was playing a Cavalier of the paw, and an Azata.. As a halfling, I was very chaotic, and mischievous.. Not evil, but lore accurate for a halfling.. Choosing chaotic dialog options apparently opened the devil option.. As its clearly evil, obviously, we killed the devil.. But playing a mischievous, fun loving, chaotic halfling (much like Aivu) is how that happens.. Chaotic good alignment, but making kots of chaotic dialog iptions

My top 3 I have to say are: 1. Demon. 2. Angel 3. Lich. The first two by far are the most involved with the most content. As for Lich, I really like the thematics of it and the Urgathoa dialouge you get is pretty unique. I don't really think any of the paths are bad either. But some are alot better than others imo.

Hi there, Morty. I've gotten into Divinity Original Sin series and have been following you ever since you started making videos about these games. I also got the Pathfinder games but so far Ive spent only a couple of hours in WOTR. I wanted to ask you how do you feel about the non-combat related content of these games. You pay a lot of attention to the character developement in relation to the combat abillities of each mythic path, but i wanted to ask you how do you assess the story and its branching? For me in RPG games combat is fine, but I absolutely love the non combat stuff, the relations, the character dynamics, the decisions you can make that are not related to killing other beings. Kind regards, M

I have a video request! Could you make a list type video of 5 (or so) games that have improved the most since you reviewed them. Improvements would include QoL updates, bug fixes and patches, DLC and other expansions.

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 KZbin copy pasting stuff into video format that he likely doesn’t fully understand. Thanks for putting out great WoTR content!

Azata is my favorite too. The adventure is so much better with Aivu along for the ride!

My favourite part of Azata path was where one of big bosses of hell come up and complained I mess too much stuff.

My first playthrough was gold dragon and while I liked the story and the dragon specific ending, there was one thing that annoyed me little. While you get some useful powers, the best of them only unlock at mythic rank 10, which means you only have them for the final battle. Sure you can use continue using them in Invevitable Access, but in the main game, you only have them for a too short amount of time. As far as classes go, I think Gold Dragon is best suited for arcane spellcasters who don't want to be evil and look like a walking corpse. As far as melee goes I think, even the most powerful dragons can't compete with dogs in Pathfinder. My second playthrough was Azata kineticist, though, if I replay that path, I think a melee class that doesn't otherwise get a mount is the way to go. A permanently hasted swordsaint or titan fighter would certainly be quite powerful.

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
