  • I don’t think it’s odd since I agree but the most common sentiment I’ve seen online was the opposite hence my precaution. I also wish they made a oriented game instead of pseudo multiple paths which play near identically with no choices to make you stop and think. I also hated how the mythic system worked. It was very random and if you don’t fart at the exact needed time during moon fading behind clouds on the day of a commonly spread diarrhea you won’t be able to get a certain ending or access a path if you don’t blink twice while walking over a teal carpet. (Bit dramatized but the requirements don’t make sense.)

      That’s true, I guess I’ve just played enough similar games where I could say “oh, this feels like an important choice, I better do it.” And then my character became a lich.

      But I can definitely see where you’re coming from for a certain other path where there are quite a lot of hoops to go through.

      And I think the game is supposed to have replayability though those paths… but then they put all the content with the paths they think players will be drawn to. Not necessarily the most fun to play. Like, I picked Lich to resurrect certain dead characters, but there’s no interaction with them beyond “go home” and “come with me”.

      Talking about the second game makes me want to replay Kingmaker. I actually liked the party members in that game.
