I just finished the update 2.91 (well, the main storyline anyways) and, well, mixed feelings, guys, mixed feelings. At this point the Ancients are basically aliens with super tech who created a bunch of races. There is a bloody AI, a freaking photon blade or something (which is oddly enough barely better than a good ol' iron sword), and, yeah well it just weirds me up. Personally, I'd prefer the Ancients being some kind of gods and/or demigods, with characters like Qetesh, Nergal, the Lord of Light etc being high-rank members of them.
On the upside it's cool to see Erevi being a badass mage and her changing dynamics with the MC. Also, a tip: when Erevi joins you to harvest glands, she wears the crown of sorcery. It's a crazy OP item that increases magic attack and magic defence by 5 points and MP by 30. Take it. Later on, when Erevi joins you again to go to that Ancients' research facility, she has yet another crown of sorcery. Take it as well. Now you have two crowns of sorcery; one each for you and your familiar. Watch as one fire spell that costs 4 mp deal 70 damage. Without crystal egg. This item is the most imbalanced gear in the game–and I hope it gets nerfed a bit in future updates–but enjoy while it lasts.
