    In WOTR the realm of Sarkoris was destroyed when Areelu Vorlesh opened a rift to the abyssal planes of existence, and hordes of demons invaded the world of Golarion. Led by the evil Demon Lords Deskari, Baphomet, and Nocticula, the abyssal forces crushed all who stood against them, turning Sarkoris into a demon‑infested land now known as the Worldwound. Join the Crusade against the demonic invasion and rise as a new hero wielding unimaginable powers in this classic CRPG. The fate of this world lies in your hands.
    Pathfinder has dozens of classes and subclasses with thousands of abilities, feats, spells, talents, and buffs to choose from. The spell listing allows you to choose from Evocation (Damage Dealing), Enchantment (Crowd Control), Necromancy (Undead), Abjuration (Buffs), Illusion (Crowd Control), Divination (Buffs/Disruptor), and Conjuration (Summoning). This is combined with an insane amount of class/subclass options including Alchemist, Arcanist, Barbarian, Bard, Bloodrager, Cavalier, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Hunter, Inquisitor, Kineticist, Magus, Monk, Oracle, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Shaman, Skald, Slayer, Sorcerer, Warpriest, Witch, and Wizard! It is Owlcat's goal to give each of these classes at least 5 subclasses each!
    Choose your Mythic Path and embody an Angel, Demon, merciless Lich, wily Trickster, superhero Azata, law incarnate Aeon, truly evil Swarm, merciful Gold Dragon, or forgo all of them to stand alone as a Legend. Each path will allow you to improve your hero in unique ways, adding a new layer to character development and making your hero and their allies a true match for their powerful enemies.
    There are more than a dozen potential party members in the game including Camellia (Half-Elf/Spirit Hunter), Seelah (Human/Paladin), Lann (Mongrel/Zen Archer), Ember (Elf/Stigmatized Witch), Arueshalae (Succubus/Espionage Expert), Woljif (Tiefling/Eldritch Scoundrel), Daeran (Aasimar/Oracle), Sosiel (Human/Cleric), Regil (Gnome/Hellknight), Wenduag (Mongrel/Fighter), Nenio (Kitsune/Scroll Savant), Greybor (Dwarf/Slayer). All of these companions have their own backgrounds, alignments, and motivations. All of them are fully voice acted with unique character models. There are even more followers that are locked behind specific story/mythic quest options!

    Evil Arueshalae will only rejoin you if your Mythic Path is Legend, Lich, Demon, or Trickster. Otherwise she will refuse to rejoin you and you will be forced to kill her. Even if you went with the Devil Mythic Path, she will not join you, since Devils & Demons hate each other.

      "Her serene demeanour marked her out as different from her sisters, and she surprised all she met with her dislike for bloodshed. However, those who considered her soft were taught a swift and deadly lesson.

    There is a secret ending slide if Woljif stays in the Abyss as a demon, Arue is corrupt and Greybor takes over the Assassin's Guild where the three of them team up to take over Alushynirra. Demons expect them to turn on each other but even as villains they are such good friends they never do.
    Afaik it's overwritten if you get another Alushynirra-related ending slide (such as taking over in the Demon path) but other than that it's a pretty neat ending for the three of them.

      Slightly incorrect they became high members of the aristocracy but never take over Alushinyrra. It would be still Nocticula for the other mythic paths not demon or a Demon KC if playing a demon mythic
      Strangely enough if you get the ending with them working together and have the demon KC the ending treats it that you never speak each other even though your are ruler of the midnight isles.

    I'm very sad she doesn't become an 'evil romance' instead of this... I would like it if she still cared about you. Basically what i wanted from Arue romance was having a succubus LOVER. Her ascendant succubus path is about killing everything intresting about her. Like, having a romance with a Lawful Good drow. That's simply not a drow anymore.
    Like, in 'true' aeon ending, if you're romancing her but reverse time and make her never redeemed, she keeps a twisted but true feelings for you. Why we can't have that here =(
    I gues as an 'evil' real romance males have Wenduag, while both males and females have Daeren... Both Camellia and Evil Arue is a trap romance.

    to be honest - killing all fairytale goodygood characters and turning into an evil character or trickster (for example by becoming a Swarm that walks before azata results in aivu getting eaten alive by the swarm) made this game enjoyable. unfortunately, this game sucks when it comes to most evil playthroughs. Even the endings for most evil characters are kinda bland. (i can ascend but cant romance nocticula OR she ascends but i am just a mere "champion"? - come one, make both ascend together or leave it)
    Or you could make one TRULY EVIL path where you destroy order by killing a deity and not just weakass demonlords (would like to wipe the floor with iomedae or desna)
    Or better, you could free rovagug and sit back as he destroys everything, including us.
    I hope the upcoming DLCS will make a few funny evil choices.

    Evil is subjective, my friend. This is helping her see herself for who she truly is. She looks so happy when she finally embraces it.
    On a slightly serious note I do wish we saw more of her fighting her past self. She is chaotic neutral, so perhaps she could show more of a self centered side of that alignment. Maybe if you're not romancing her you'll see her stalking someone in Drezen. Initially it's just to understand mortals more, so she can understand her dreams, but it could have a darker undertone. Perhaps her curiosity has gotten to the point of lusting after this person. If you're flirting with her perhaps this person could be the player. You could wake up in your bedroom, and there she is staring at you. Biting her lower lip, and struggling to control herself.

      But even so, now that she is fully ascended, demonic morale doesn't apply as well. I'd say that at the very minimum she should feel guilty for the rest of her existence (if not contemplating suicide), hence "good Arue" can't be an "happy Arue".

    I would like evil Arushalae more if they didn't completely prevent her from being romanceable. At least if I am playing a Lich or a Demon there should be something at least you can do. Also Demon Arushalae is like a strait nerf, she gains some stats for loosing all her damage against Demons. Like idk why Pathfinder insists on punishing players for making certain choices.
    Like honestly we should get more of a say in a companion's build instead of getting clunky unoptimized mess that barely functions gameplay wise. I still have nightmares about Harrim from Kingmaker and how awful his build was.

  • @TheRavenShadowsWolf
    @TheRavenShadowsWolf Рік тому +2

    Frankly, it sucks that you get Wendulaug - and she's perfectly fine with the Sub life; but if you happen to like Arue - and want to be a demon lord (which would actually match her look) you can't make her a sub and follow a darker romance. Even if you were literally joined at the hip and backs against the world cause everyone else can burn - literally; you are her protection, and she's your girl. Barbie doll made or not. It's one thing I would change for myself, because I find this incredibly short sighted. But then they also put in a respec option that locks you to what level the character was when you got them... I can't say I'm best pleased with that. I'd really rather take Arue as a consort even if I do romance the dark goddess or whatever as a demon lord> king. Have them both be okay with that. It could be shades of Jade Empire, with actual ending slides. There really could have been a couple of decent darker endings to go with. As it stands, I guess I have to stick with my Azata run; and Gold dragon. [What? I want my own wings to pet... since I can't have a winged pet ; ) ]
    I'm less pleased about the corruption time counter, and the exhaustion and fatigue. All the puzzles in general - in an rpg. Most DM's won't put more than one or two at best in a campaign, for a reason. I'd have put demigod in as a background that people could just choose to take - and have the "secret" ending not be a secret. It would just be a) can you get to the end of the game, b) do you want to become a god? C) have that be the way to go on to level 50 and create a tie back to King Maker as you carve out your own realm among the gods. I know, most DM's won't run high level or god campaigns, but I think it'd be an awesome means to continue a campaign. So I was kind of hoping since Mythic was hyped so hard, this would be a nice nod. I am at least having fun with the combat... but I'm finding a lot of the minutae frustrating as all get out. Which is actually the tie back to Kingmaker for me lol.

      Also, in case no one's said so before now - I've confirmed on a guide to mythic paths that Azata Path does conflict with a Corrupted Arueshalae. (I guess Chaotic Neutral is still too close to good - since Chaotic in and of itself is not inherently Evil, it's just also not Good)

    That is kind of contradicting as that is exactly what she was before you get her back to her old self.
    I will preach this for as long as this game is played, Arushalae is better off not being Desnas puppet as it goes against her nature.
    And even though Good and evil are forces of nature in the DnD universe i dont think following your nature is inherently evil. So to me, this is not an evil choice as you are practically freeing arushalae.
    Edit: i havent tried, but i think Aeon should be able to recruit corrupted arushalae, since freeing her and having her and going back to her natural way of behavior is a lawful act, and aeon's are lawful and all that.
