Godlike Story Ruiner - !Spoiler!

[Benedictous]

Since you can't wear helms as a Godlike, there is a part in the story underneath First Fires or the 2nd lvl of Catacombs that requires a special helm to be worn to infiltrate succesfully.  Since you are Godlike, you don't get the option.

That's hardly a story ruiner. That's a cool piece of reactivity that means that playing as a godlike has consequences. After all there are many other ways to complete that quest.

So if you want to play the story to the fullest, don't be Godlike. Thus story ruiner if you are one.

I dunno. Did you think that playing as a character with massive horns or protruding bits or whose head is on fire, like literally burning constantly, like you're a human torch dude wow, would allow you to choose the option to disguise yourself with a cloth hood? You're a distrusted and feared racial minority. Of course that's going to come with consequences. Sometimes that's going to come in handy (ie fire godlike can set stuff on fire without having to use up a torch) and sometimes it's going to make things harder. That's the joy of role playing and making choices - it means that some paths are going to close down and others will open up and as a result you'll have different experiences to other players.

In a few words : choices and consequences.

[SeniorWarden]

Yes, it looks like one of the proper choice moments that games tout. Whee, glad that PoE actually does it.

SPOILER FOR THAT EVENT

 

 

 

Actually, there isnt as much consequences as you think. You can't put it on yourself, but if you go to the door theres a dialogue option that lets you put it on. It mentions how it looks weird and stuff, but you can still get it on.

 

Although it really isn't a "story ruiner" since you can go in without the hood and fight

There is one problem with the Godlike choice.  According to the manual: All godlike are sterile/infertile.

 

However, when you enter the first village you are asked if you ever conceived a certain type of child.  Clearly that does not make sense.

Just a little thing the developers must have forgotten about, to put a bit of code to let him notice it and mention the fact.

I would hardly call it a problem with the race....
