More of my impressions of chapter V:
What the hell did they do to my prison?! I've all the cells were full when I left, now it's fucking empty. Being a time janny is suffering

Fuck you, Camellia!
I really, really didn't want to lose her and was willing to tolerate her shit as long as she obeyed.
Also I kinda hoped for redemption arc, like Jaethal's, but no, batshit crazy Cammy doesn't want a redemption arc, she just wants to bathe in blood.

Well, I'm down a secondary tank/buffer now. Sosiel, I guess...
She sucks. But I don't think not having a "redemption" arc for a character like her is some sort of a crime. Did Korgan have redemption arc? Especially since you what, play my little pony Azata?

She has a specific meta use in the game, and she is good at that.

Purely speculative question: assuming I'd go for a late game "Legend" character, how would you build one starting from a pure 20-levels DEX/Dueling Sword Sword Saint?
I was assuming 10 levels in duelist as they seem to synergize well enough, but not sure what to to do with the remaining ten levels.

I'd just go 20 Mutation Warrior Fighter.

Feral Grand Mutagen + weapon training heavy blades + an additional crit multiplier at level 20 would make a sword saint absolutely bonkers. Fighter can even get a weapon training feat to let you dual wield dueling swords as light weapons if you want it.
A legend build 20 mutation warrior + swordsaint ?

Sword Saint to 20 then MW to 20 as Legend.

As a DEX Sword Saint focusing on Dueling Sword I think it's the best melee option. MW is strong initially then gets better and better until it hits level 20. Think it gives Sword Saint more than Duelist 10/whatever else 10.

Best tanking option with dexterity yes , but for damage go strengh. Mw is a good choice for any melee build . You need to hit over 55 60 ac at the end and like 38 flatfooted. So 40 levels of those will certainly achieve that.

If you are playing on Unfair you need closer to 100 AC if you want to not get absolutely deleted by enemies.

Ok, found a broken combo that only works in TB mode, enduring spells + cave fangs. After casting the spell (24h duration) calling down the stalagmites/stalactites is a free action, so you can do 144 casts in a single turn...

Just take care if you're casting the stalagmites:
Woljif with Last Stand, my PC froze for a few seconds after he stepped over the gazillion spike stones...

Oh but we are casual players playing on core 80 ac will be enough...

So apparently this Eustoyriax guy is so important that he deserves to be a named enemy. I guess he will surprise me with some clever use of his special abilities:

Oh, Owlcat, come on...

Well, I guess that using your Glitterdust to only blind yourself IS kinda surprising. Good job.

During the beta I tried the lich mythic path, you see some really facepalm quality stuff there. Enemies will attack you with negative energy repeatedly, giving you free heals.

So I loved played a Hellknight - wasn't really expecting all that much reactivity from the game about a multi-class choice, but it's fucking glorious. How much reactivity does the Devil path have given that it comes so late in the game? They really should have made it accessible early on, like the other mythics.

A decent amount thus far, but I wish that the companions would've reacted to it. Maybe later on, who knows.

the reactivity to Hellknight was indeed a nice touch, too bad there isn't much for other classes

Damn i just seen Desiderius is on pathfinder discord. But he's an empty shell, a broken man, a shadow of his former self , beaten into submission by rpcodex moderation. You can speak of dipping monk+ paladin + dragon disciple in your build and ..... Nothing he doesnt react anymore. Maybe the punishment was too harsh.

Mithral Fullplate, belt +6 dex and he's covered, managed to bump him to 60 AC without multiclassing.
On a plus side, he can spam Magical Vestment(which is still bugged), while Cammy was limited with 2 uses per day.

She sucks. But I don't think not having a "redemption" arc for a character like her is some sort of a crime. Did Korgan have redemption arc? Especially since you what, play my little pony Azata?

It's not a crime, it's just not what I've expected, especially since you can persuade her to stop in Dresen/Alushinyrra. In the end I've actually enjoyed how the situation resolved, like sometimes there's nothing you can do despite all your Mythic Power of Goodness and Rainbows.

Oh, I forgot about this screenshot I took:

Yeah, the model for a Large creature riding a Huge mount is quite unsettling. I guess I just unlocked the secret Eldritch Abomination mythic path.

Who doesnt here ? Twisting slowly and adding salt in the wound... There's a reason games like fallout are top 3 classic , we like devious options.
