beccaelizabethI won as a gold dragon 🌞
... I got the right ending on the second try, the first one zoomed off down the secret ending path instead, clicked the wrong dialogue. The fight was a lot easier second time around, but it would still have cost diamonds immediately after.
I like the Gold Dragon path, except for you have to be a dragon to do it. I mean granted the stat boosts are spectacular so the draconic assumption they're better than us has some mathematical basis, but I want to argue back from a disability justice perspective. Like just because we measurably have half the Intelligence of a dragon doesn't mean they're morally better, you know?
But I like how many people you get to save on that path. Hulrun and Nurah are good tries, but the big prize is Areelu Vorlesh herself. She got into a lot of evil but not for funsies, and a bit of myth path plus a lot of diplomacy can lead her back to team good and send her to Nirvana. Excellent.
... but again, should not be just for dragons.
I don't like that the Wound stays open on this path. Doesn't seem like something anyone has a right to decide. Sure it makes a stable path out of the abyss for demons, but it also makes a stable path out of the abyss for demons. They're not all Arushalae. Sooner or later there will be Regrets. Just close the wound and go do your preaching elsewhere. Or at least figure out how to get Areelu to let you finish off some demon lords. That should work even on a redemption path.
But it's a good strong story, I just don't see how it's necessary to risk everyone in the entire material plane when dimensional magic works without Worldwounds. I see why they did it and why they wrote it that way but remain not quite satisfied.
I have finished the game on another mythic play through.
... I just checked and there were a bunch of achievements it didn't give me though. Should have trophies for beating the arena but they didn't ping. Nothing has for ages. Don't know why.
But I have now done Azata, Trickster Legend, Aeon and Azata Gold Dragon.
All strong stories with interesting endings.
I really like this game.
Now I have to find something else to do for at least a month or it'll just eat my brain.
... also going back to low level play after being 20s for a bit tends to get the character killed a bunch if I don't decompress first.
