    It's a shame they are just going Lich and not making the Graveknight a possibility. It's basically the martial version of a Lich.

    Also perfect for either an evilly inclined fallen paladin or an anti-paladin.

    She's a Master Spy in tabletop, so it fits.

    So that locks only 1 companion left, which is most likely the Bug Mongrel Lady.

    It interesting that 1 of them are optional/replacement instead of full fledged 11 companions based on that leak. Maybe there will be way to get her and Lann both? I wish we could play the alpha from Level 1 instead being dropped in middle like right now,

    I've seen some of the ugliest dumbest people find love and get married. It's not even that hard as long as you set realistic standards. Am I going to get a queen galfrey In real life? No way. But can I find some random Lady that works in sales and is willing to put up with me? Absolutely. I'm stable and can provide a stable life style. What more would a women want?

    Is there at least an in-game explanation and acknowledgement of such a low strength score? Such as being thin as a rail with noodle arms and taking shit from the others for being such a remarkable weakling? Pet peeve of mine when unusually high or low stats (like Valerie's absurd superhuman constitution score) aren't acknowledged or explored at all in the story and dialogues.

    Attempting to buck the Natural Order is indeed expensive, if unsurprising from an aspiring Necromancer.

    The male of the species is properly the prize, not the hunter. If one plays that role well it can be quite the money-making proposition.

    One imagines Prince Hal couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag when he was running around with Falstaff, and yet King Henry was not one to be trifled with on the battlefield.

    Nothing stopping you from getting his base STR up to 10 by lvl 12 and letting various spells and items do the rest. I mean he starts out with 20 CHR so not like he needs more help there unless you’re making him a pure caster in which case what do you need the armor and shield for?

    Many such cases.

    Superhuman score is score above 20...

    Depends where you life and what is "high standards" for you. My standards
    • Needs to be beautiful(not need to be a supermodel, the average white woman is very attractive to me but i life in a white minority country)
    • Not being a feminist. Seriously.
    • not having another's man child
    I an single since jun - 2018. For Hookup, i an even less demanding. I can spend a night with a woman with a another's man child or a feminist(not crazy feminist) or a bellow average female. But i will not do much effort

    The natural order sucks. One question. When you desire to eat meal, you >
    • A ) Go to a country where hunting is legal(if is not on your), rent a .45-70 rifle, go hunt a boar, etc
    • B ) Pay for meal in a store
    The "A" would be the more natural order like. "B" is the less natural way to obtain meal.

    Noodle arms ^^ hehe. It was so much easier in the old Baldur's Gate, where you could just put on some Gauntlets of Ogre Power to set STR to 19, no matter your starting STR... :)

    Owlcat Games has interesting views on women: you can choose between a crazy bug lady, a sociopath or a succubus. Yet the succubus demon is the only decent good one.

    Now that I think about it, there is still Queen Galfrey, guess she will be the most "normal" female romance.

    >"I ruined many mortals, without learning the first thing about them. Now I watch them to understand them. Clearly, this won't return my prey to life. But still... To grow closer to these mortals, it's like I'm paying back some part of
    my debt to their memories.\""

    >"\"I wouldn't want to draw any rash conclusions. I've only been watching them for a short while. But I've probably understood one thing...\""

    >"\"They love cats!\" {n}Arueshalae speaks in a very serious manner, as if sharing an important scientific discovery with you, but then a moment later smiles to give away the joke.{/n}"

    >Not just the kiss. Any caress, of any kind, sucks the life from mortals. And there's nothing I can do about it.\""

    >"{n}Arueshalae touches her lips ever so slightly.{/n} \"For mortals, tenderness is tenderness and violence is violence. But I don't know what it's like to kiss and not inflict pain.\""

    >I just hope my observations of mortals will help me understand. Young lovers, old spouses... Even what mortals condemn as promiscuity – to me it all looks like something amazingly... Human.\""

    >"\"Don't joke like that! For me it's not a joke at all!\""

    >"\"Never mind. Just... Try not to tempt me. You know, it's hard for me to control myself.\""

    "{n}Arueshalae's cheeks blush faintly. Her thin lips open a little, and she licks them with her moist tongue. Sighing deeply, she answers with apparent effort – {/n}\"I... Never want to feel such pleasure again. Not with anyone, ever. If I kiss anyone, I want to be sure that the kiss brings us both pleasure, not pain.\""

    >"{n}Arueshalae's voice grows soft, and you barely hear her words.{/n} \"I should like to kiss someone again... But only as a mortal. Not as a demon.\""

    >My last...\" {n}Arueshalae looks away.{/n} \"My final victim was a priestess of {g|Desna}Desna{/g}, the Tender of Dreams. As you know, demons do not sleep. Mortals always compare their greatest moments to dreams. So I decided it would be interesting to try, and while I was at it... Forgive me, goddess – to ridicule Desna.\""

    >"\"This priestess lay in my arms, dying of my kiss. I... I remember every smallest detail – the cold sweat on her skin, her rolled up eyes, her weak whisper... It's so difficult to recount... Well, I dove into her mind to see what mortal dreams were like. But the goddess saw me in her realm. And... It turned out, I remained there far longer than I planned.\""

    >As a punishment, she gave me... Mercy. I often think: why me? She could easily have blown me away like smoke, with the flick of her finger. The gods rarely trouble themselves with the lives of mortals – and even less so with demons. But for reasons of her own she paid me special attention.\""

    >She awoke in me the memories of the sinners whose souls were used to create me. All those humans... I knew nothing of them until {g|Desna}Desna{/g} showed me. Each of them had their own dreams. And a world without pity trampled each of them down, and placed them on a path that led to the {g|Abyss}Abyss{/g}. Their memories... All their hopes and pain... I'm sorry, it's hard for me to talk about this...\" {n}You see tears well up in the succubus's eyes.{/n}"

    >"{n}She wipes away her tears, and Arueshalae continues.{/n} \"The most important thing I realized was that every mortal is a little world of hopes and dreams. And I... I might be a {g|succubus}succubus{/g} but I didn't have to live forever with these beastly, boring pleasures and tortures of the {g|Abyss}Abyss{/g}. I can be free. I... I can be myself. If only I can understand who I am.\""

    Reading Camellia’s dialogue is making me think I may have found the first romance option in gaming history that might perk my interest in any way.

    Everything looks like shit when you’ve got your head up your ass. You (unnatural) keep paying, I’ll (supernatural) keep getting paid.

    I'd say yes, but as details of the alpha test appear I think it's less about good vs. evil and more about law/order vs. chaos.

    Chaotic in Kingmaker is hilarious. It lead me to the phrase I always wanted to through Tristian in the face. And the "true ending" is chaotic by nature, and both good and evil chaotics could see something in the Holy Salad. I think the most suitable alignment for the story of Kingmaker is Chaotic Good.

    On the other hand, I think the main premise of the WotR will be law and order. In my opinion (which is based on, basically, nothing) the most interesting playthrough of WotR will be a Lawful one. As to stop the chaos that spreads out of the Worldwound.

    But I wonder if the victory of order over chaos in the end would be so bitter that the whole demon invasion could be considered a better option...

    That probably depends on the PC. I can't imagine things being pleasant for the world with a victorious Lich or Worm-that-Walks.

    They’ll gussy it up for the Swarm since Gaia and Mankind is Cancer. Will probably talk themselves into something with a variety of possible interpretations on Lich.
