Insert Title Here Strap Yourselves In
There are Archliches since AD&D.
LoL that is a retarded name buahahahaha. Arch in generally means grand,a higher title than the median one of the chosen profession. An archlich is in de facto a demilich. It should have been something along the lines of lumenlich. Buahahahaha it just shows that the quality of D&D's modern writer. It is quite ironical really,D&D was based on ancient roman and greek mythos and its writers/creator were/are well versed in both languages. Now we have retards that don't even know the basic meaning of words and throw them left and right.
If we want to get really pedantic Arch means ruler, so an Archlich would be a lich with other lesser liches as his vassals.

We're at 1.9m. We SHOULD hit the next goal soon.
At this stage I wouldn't be so happy about more features. Look at Star Citizen, one can die of success.

thing is, besides the mini HOMM nearly all the stretch goals are mod-level stuffs

you could argue that mounted combat could be technically heavy

+2 mythic paths based on what Owlcat are selling should take decent amount of time as they need to branch out the narratives

Spanish translation are expensive but its a matter of hiring translator

The rests are not feature creep

I was going to go legend at first but it seems like something you should do on a second playthrough, same thing with lich. Might become a gold Dragon

Hmm. I am still deciding. Once I figure out how these mythic paths work. I am going to choose one that best suits a monk man.
Not choosing one is best for monk. Monks rely on their own power. And I think there will be exclusive mythic feats specifically for those who did not choose other mythic paths.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I'll no doubt replay it 30+ times (and finish maybe 4-5), so I'm sure I'll try every mythic path at least once.

Star Citizen is the bogeyman of crowdfunded games, but it's not particularly relevant here. Owlcat showed with Kingmaker that they have no problem releasing a game... they just have a problem releasing it too early and in too buggy of a state. That's a far cry from SC's endless development loop, driven largely by the fact that Chris Roberts has no concept of project management.

Too bad there is no Druid themed Mythics.

Like c'mon. No Druid companion in 2 games. They need CotW to be on par vs other spellcasters in PfK. And now we don't have nature themed Mythics.

Owlcat just hate druids.

If they guessed right the next tier is druid themed mythic path.

"A worm that walks forms sometimes when an evil spellcasting creature is buried in earth infused by magic. The worms that feed on the corpse consume the spellcaster's soul, and gain a hive mind that retains the memories and magical abilities the corpse had in life." - swarm variation of that.

Finally... a character for the formicophiliacs of the world!

It was decided (passive voice intentional) that Negative Energy isn't akshually Evil via the usual nihilist wuss out.
I'm not so sure that's true. After all, all the objectively Evil shit is still there, and Gygax was pretty fucking based. I think it has more to do with fundamental forces necessary for creation, etc. I'm fine with Negative Energy not being Evil, too, but then Good and Evil priests should both be able to channel it, and Necromancy be Evil for some other reason.

I'm a fan of the whole "Necromancy requires suffering" of Nick Perumov's books with Fess the Necromancer, personally, along with the classic "Necromancy rips souls from beyond the veil". But that'd require some shenanigans when it comes to the cosmology and how souls worm in D&D/are recycled in Pathfinder.

Necromancy in Forgotten Realms has always been "evil" because the gods have decreed it is evil (how they know that or why they decided it is is unknown), the existence of archliches in this context doesn't really make sense unless morality is relative which we know that in the FR universe it isn't, sooooo beats me.
Also, deities are beholden to the cosmology too. In a planar sense, at least pre-4e, they can't just up and decide what is objectively Evil (although they may obviously condemn it and proceed to not give a fuck, punishing you for being "Evil" and whatnot). So like you said, I dunno, I don't buy that one.

Yeah, the closest is probably Aeon, but aeons don't seem very.. druid-y. And yeah, no druid companion in Kingmaker of all things was bullshit. I'm not a fan of playing druid because of the way we're introduced, but meeting a druid in the Stolen Lands seems like a given. Something like Faldorn 2.0. But no, we don't even run into a henge, let alone a proper stone circle of celtic goatfuckers. Complete rip-off.

What I'm really missing in terms of Mythic Paths, though, is something for rogues/assassins. I get that Trickster is likely intended for rogues, but the way they present it, even the name, suggests something more like a prankster, a classic Loki, appropriate for benign thieves, bards, and fey assholes of all colors.

But what I'd want for a rogue/vivisectionist/slayer/assassin isn't a trickster, but a creeping shadow type deal. Like a black smoke that moves as a fog across the floor, or shadows that grow longer in all the corners, and the wet stab in the night.

Hmmmm I was so sure Lich was gonna be my first, but swarm looks like a great choice too. Legend is cool in it's own way too, these 3 are the ones am debating currently.

Swarm is Chaotic Evil themed playthrough prone to eat both allies and foes, destined to become next Demon Lord of pestilence. Demon path has a similar goal, but I think he aims to replace Baphomet instead. I wonder how they will make their paths distinct.
Swarm is certainly my option of choice because it is unique. The only similar thing playable I saw elsewhere is Necropages from Endless Legend:

It won't make a dent, but I just raised my pledge from 28 to 40. Not too worried about the Riddles quest, but I kind of want to see what the next stretch goal is. Would suck if it's better than the first.
