Is there a trial?

This is what is giving me confidence. I wish the some of the old Trek people were in charge of nuTrek but if wishes were horses then this would be a terrible episode of DS9

It's a bit jarring when they give you so little XP in the early game only to bury under a pile of XP later on

Slight spoiler but you don't lock in your path until the end of the second chapter after you

Yeah, you have to pick a mythic path at mythic level 3. The pre-path you pick at level 1 doesn't lock you into anything so you can choose whatever you like for RP or your build. At mythic level 8 you get the option to pick an advanced path if you have unlocked them but you can stick with your mythic level 3 pick as well. I want to say that only 2 regular mythic paths unlock automagically and only 1 advanced/late game path and all the rest have some sort of requirements. Also, mythic levelling is tied to the story so you'll get your levels at specific points in the story.

I had what I'm assuming was a bug and was able to send that guy out multiple times and got 4 keys that way. My second run has turned into something else as I was intending to go Azata this run but instead I went Trickster then reloaded my pick a path save and also went Lich. So now I have two side by side games as a Lich and a Trickster. The plan is to switch from Lich to Gold Dragon.

Yeah, you just beat me to it. I was just going to say that nobody said or suggested the US is more repressive than China and even if they did the fact that you can say that publicly means that it's not true.

That ending allows you to

Orville returns March 10th almost 3 years after the last episode aired

I have only played Azata through chapter 4 of the beta and maybe I played half of chapter 3 with Trickster and the best way I'd describe the difference is CG mostly concerned with good (Azata) vs CN with more of a focus on chaos rather than morality (Trickster). That's the most spoiler free way I can describe it.

Nurmanurma was a good book but the combat and most of the gameplay was terribad. You'll be glad it's mostly skippable.

spoilers about that

I really liked him on White Collar

I really like OP endgame mages but I'd be lying if I said I didn't also enjoy PoE's more useful at lower levels ones even if I thought they were lacking at the top end. It's not a trade off I'd like to keep though and I had a few arguments discussions about it with some posters in the PoE section who wanted magic to be essentially mundane. I didn't think a fireball should just be a grenade or a missile spell just be different VFX arrows, make them a little more magical.

Did you play them in Co-op? Most people I know that generally have otherwise good taste and like those games played them in co-op

I've enjoyed the PF games more than the PoE games while hating the D:OS games. I'd rank them like this and this is purely in order of enjoyment that I got out of them WOTR KM Yoga Fire PoE D:OS D:OS2 Though I guess my favorite games of the KS era are the Shadowrun ones

My fire kineticist just got out of the shield maze. I'm considering just kicking out or refusing all the companions I don't like or use during this run since the only companion that actually grew on me last time was Regill.

I dunno how the power levels and titles go but that's what the game called it.

I got there on my own, it was a no spoilers run even though I'd played all the way through chapter 4 in the beta. I did save and reload a lot to see different outcomes of stuff that wasn't in the beta so there was a little trial an error but I didn't know that was a possible outcome until I got it. I'm kind of a completionist in games though not an achievement hunter. Skipping Nenio's quest hurt me almost as bad as trying to do it.

I just beat the game and there's a lot to unpack there. Spoilers below.

Sorry Nenio, your final quest isn't happening this run. That place is a slog. Anyways, I'm approaching the end of the game unless it pulls a Kingmaker and has a hidden half act.

Are backer tags showing as text for anyone else?

Hilariously, the new patch on GOG opens the game's Steam store page when you launch the game

It looks like I'm stuck in chapter 4 until the next patch
