I thought Archon were supposed to be quite powerful and high ranked. I hope it is just a play on words, and that Sirin is just a self proclaimed archon.

Might be the area we saw at Gamescom. Would be well worth watching in that case, since there's still no proper videos of that demo.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Maybe I misunderstood but it sounded to me like they talked about the evil one as either he or she once again.

Talking about the game's music: "It's juxtaposed with this pretty evil guy...or a girl." Not sure he was thinking of a specific character. Game's got lots of evil characters.

They should really hire an actual music composer (or another one).

I haven't even played Tyranny and I'm already sick of the combat song.

This is probably the least of the game's problems, but I really hate those jumping animations when abilities are activated. They looked out of place in PoE too, and I see they're just elaborating on that over the top style.

She is probably the most powerful Archon on Terratus, and the story gives you a little taste of just how powerful she really is.

Could be powerful in some non-direct way that isn't exactly useful in small-scale combat. Think Bastila from KOTOR and her unique Battle Meditation ability.

Regardless, it wouldn't surprise me if a character who is that pivotal turns out to be only a temporary companion.

They're powerful, yes, but they're not necessarily high-ranked. The first time we heard of the Archon of Songs was in the Scarlet Chorus profile on Gamespot and she was mentioned to have been chained and studied by the Chorus' mages, who learned quite a few magical tricks from her. Since then, we learned that Kyros captured and chained another Archon for the same purpose a long time ago, leading to the creation of the Sigil of Life.

As for power, the lady's only sixteen. She might not be completely in control of her abilities just yet.

A lot of RPGs have the sense to include multiple combat tracks.

Heh, don't really care. Stream didn't really impress me and each companion looks worse than the previous one.
I'm just waiting to see how buggy it is at release atm.
