I finished the game (what there is, at least)! Now it's time for ramblings!
First of all, a great thank you to the Developers! What a journey, what a story! Each path has a distinct feeling, a personality so to speak. Each touches on different parts of mythology, even though most of them happen in the same lands. Each is exciting! Loved them all! Pumped up to play next update!
And now to questions and ramblings:
1. Are those curses useful to our hero or they are going to cause problems later on? I'm asking about Bard and Warlord path, since on Druids you are in control of it. I always presumed they are here to hurt us.
2. It's ironic that best Bard's playthrough (maximum stats advancement and no curse) after awakening is completely chaste right now. You can have sex, but would need to forfeit part of the advancement or companion would be cursed.
3. I don't understand Bard's deal. 1) Powers. On Druid path we have lots of magic and some fighting ability. On Champion path we have great fighting ability and some strange power boosts. Warlord has great fighting ability and is pretty good in magic himself (I was seriously surprised with how good he is). Bard has some fighting ability (but doesn't scale up to professional warriors of Tuatha) and no magic? I mean he uses powers, but those aren't his, they are part of the artifacts he carries. 2) Characterisation. Druid is devious, Warlord is ferocious and confident (even overconfident), Champion is heroic and wise, Bard is... I don't know, really. He isn't especially wise or knowledgeable, nor is he cunning. He even seems to posses less charisma than a Warlord! What I'm missing here?
