Don´t worry if you don´t find more mythic paths dialogues because the choice comes much later in the game (even tho in the first chapter appear 4-5 of the 10 possible). The first two-three chapters are to showcase the different paths so you can make a choice when the time comes.
Sorry, yes I encountered Demon as a counterpoint to Heaven.
Ah ok, more later, that’s good. The game doesn’t make it obvious (read: idiot proof) that you’re not locked in (though the tooltip perhaps kinda said that iiirc to be fair). So I was under the impression I that I was now already going down the Heaven rabbit hole.
It’s odd, I find myself liking this a lot more than Pillars of Eternity (1), which I only played so far and got a little bored with. However due to also managing armies (in a janky manner that feels very half baked), I do find myself needing to turn off, rather than push on.
I find there is too much time spent on the map, with army and character move speeds too slow. The encounters haven’t improved and the wandering skeleton merchant is useless to me most of the time as I never seem to have any money/need what he is selling. In fact I swore I somehow lost 12k!! Either that was a bug when I backed out of buying a mercenary, or someone is not just planting heads in my inventory!! (Stealing money would be quite neat).
But I do think it is the little things all adding up, the choices, and wondering when the next foxy surprise will hit, that is keeping me playing with a smile on my face.
People complain about Astarion and Shadowheart, but they’re no different to Count or Camellia, it’s just the cinematic approach of BG3 makes a little more in your face. I actually hope BG3 add some more subtle characters, because in WotR I’m a little on the fence about the companions so far, they’re all annoying in their own way, lol. Though Lan and Count have grown on me and Romance wise the only female I’ve been able to flirt with is the frigging queen!!! It’s a good thing I’m an elf and still older than she is he he.
