I wonder if the in-your-face "Anevia Tirabade" and "Irabeth Tirabade" are named after tribadism.
The Lesbian is the analogue among women of Persian love among men, and this perversion takes place in two ways, either by friction of the two female bodies, known as tribadism, or by the tongue, designated as cunnilinguism.

Finished the game as Aeon. The ending was actually really nice even tho in term of gameplay the fight inside Threshold were uninterresting. Fighting a pre-transformation Areelu in the past was nice.

Did the "dont go back in time endings" it was more of a classical "and now they happily adventured forever" feel.

Now going for a Evil sorcerer run, dont know if I will aim for Demon and Lich.

My characters after accidentally clearing the ivory sanctum in one adventuring day: :despair:

I wanted to at least rest before the last fight, but I didn't think it'd start right at the level entrance. Made for an interesting, hectic experience to beat it with dwindled resources.

Minimizing rests helps your Kingdom in P:K but hurts your Crusade in Wrath. You’re severely gimping yourself if you don’t take advantage of the resting resources Wrath gives you. Unlike Vordokai’s Tomb Labyrinth can even be tackled in multiple visits.

Spiking (rnd/lvl and 1 min spells/abilities) plays a big role in fighting bosses (especially optional ones), but fighting without min/lvl stuff up probably adds at least a level of difficulty on its own.

Well I started the game recruiting Wenduag. Her dialogs so far are really good, compared to all the Act 1 shitshow of bad characters but can't really fathom how a good or lawful PC would want to recruit her. She is full on chaotic evil cannibalistic demon worshiping bonkers.

I built Nenio so every buff she casts greater than 5 minutes lasts 24 hours. That combined with Ember having a bunch of extra spell slots for levels 1-6 means I can go quite a while before needing to recharge, which is how I prefer it.

I got rewarded for speeding through chapters 1 and 2 though I see that's come to an end.

Actually the speed reward for chapter 2 is taking Drezen within 60 days of chapter start so there is plenty time to clear all the maps even with resting.

Meh, those items are easy to get and you hurt your army development. Sadly they’ve nerfed the Crusade into oblivion so it doesn’t much matter.

Blowing two Mythics on Enduring on Nenio greatly attenuates her offensive casting abilities (only real way to directly effect combat). Lvl 4,5,6 Illusion spells start out Selective AoE and with Mythic Illusion Focus and Spell Pen can take most adds out of the equation (or seriously debuff them). Shadow Votaries/Minagho use them to clue player in to how powerful they are. Later you can add Persistent versions.

By the time Enduring, Greater kicks in min/lvl buffs are already 10 min which is more than enough to last between designed rests. If you need the convenience you can use BubbleBuff without costing yourself a companion.

Not a fan of that theme, easy skip.

I set crusade to story time right off the bat, I'm doing fine. The entire map of act 3 has been cleared.

As with P:K you miss out on the most interesting items (and a few other boons) if you do that. And I’ve had auto-Crusade bug out and lock me out of main quest as well.

Did you get Regil's ending where he knows of the alternative timeline where you existed?

Yup, did all companion quest except Nenio. Narratively wise there wasnt really any incentive to go dick around after saving the army and beating Deskari in Iz. I also executed Wenduag and Camellia, my character was a Lawful neutral Cavalier/Hellknight, it would be a bit incoherent to sentence looters to death while sparing cannibalistic serial killers.

Story time, not auto-crusade.

"Story" difficulty multiplies by 3 the amount of resources gained and the number of recruits available for hire, and provides 3 additional free searches for mercenaries per week. Crusade morale cannot fall below -50.

I really have to question their choice to add a male romance in a DLC. Surely they understand that their female audience is roughly 1%, and despite what reddit may appear like, even their gay audience is like 5-10% max, right? They understood that hot tiefling sister threesome + overpowered broken kineticist class was an attractive DLC to buy. Now they are going for gay romance + pretty meh shifter class. This doesn't seem like a smart play.

This is true, but their development team is probably pushing like 90%.

I doubt half that many are getting any at all.

But it lets them* LARP as pwning the bigots (who are?) when in reality they're flipping the bird to Mother Nature.

It's bathetic.

* - and, sadly, the target audience, at least the one the funders think is out there

I bet this is what their Western marketing consultants suggested. Also, the actual audience does not matter anymore: all of those who could be hooked have already been hooked. Now it is time to make virtue signalling great again.

A number of people on this forum also complained about the lack of European-looking male human companions, and well, now there is one.

There was a demand for this content, this is their passive aggressive way of delivering.

This is the same shit as Cam's quest. "You want your Chainmail Bikinis so bad? Fine! Here have a meaningless quest with no C&C that makes you condone serial killing and cannibalism! Why won't they choose MEEEEEE?".

(we will also choose you sometimes, it's the all-out cultural erasure that sux)

European-looking

Californicators mistaking substance for style part gazillion. Perception DNE reality, let alone erase it altogether.

This guy is looking like the male Xoti so far. The heroic archetype isn't just some token hillbilly.

(you don't have the rip out the heart of the genre to do your token gay product placement)
