You make a choice of how to deal with the problem.

Any choice is available regardless of your alignment, but some of the choices will shift your alignment in a certain direction. For example, option 2 will shift your alignment toward good. The shift is small, so you would need to make many such choices before your alignment would actually change.

There's no "chaotic" choice, but there is a choice (#1) that won't shift your alignment toward a different one. If shifting your alignment bothers you, then you might choose to make that choice to avoid a shift.

The choice you make here can have an impact on your mythic patch choices later in the game, so choose carefully. Some of the choices indicate a path that they are associated with, but that is not necessarily the only path affected by that choice, and even the one that is not marked as associating with a path may have an impact later.

If you are very invested in a specific mythic path and don't care about spoilers then you may want to do some research to find out which choice you should make.

If you don't care what mythic path you end up taking or you do not want to have anything spoiled for you then you should pick what you believe your character would do from among the available options.

Pick whichever fits your character best. Any of the options will deal with the situation.

But worth mentioning that if you don't take the Aeon option, it will close off the Aeon path for you. Probably not a big deal since you're Chaotic Neutral, and that's a Lawful Neutral path you probably wouldn't be interested in.

[Aradon]

You'll be able to choose one of those mythic paths later, with more clarity. For now, you should be able to choose whichever option pleases you. The only note is that if you don't choose the Aeon option here, you won't be able to choose that path for this game, I believe.

An Aeon is a kind of embodiment of the laws of the universe, righting aberrations where they see them. It's a strongly lawful role, so probably not a choice that'd appeal to your chaotic neutral character. If you choose it, you'll have to make enough lawful decisions to shift your alignment later.

yeeeeee they can shove their laws....
this is a path ill pass.
but from what i understand, some mythic paths also related to specific stats and worse or better for specific classes.
is there a way to know? im trying with google to search for one that fits best for sorc and found only something about leech?
also there is a gold dragon, but im already gold dragon sorc O.o so maybe it will make me double dragon and ill be big gold :D?

Lich is very strong with sorc because lich eventually makes your CHA stat into your CON stat (as well as combining spell books and giving you many extremely powerful spells). But it's an evil path.

I meant fits your characters personality from a story point of view.
None of these choices lock you into a mythic path.

I would suggest aiming for the Trickster mythic path, then. It is the chaotic neutral path and should work just fine with sorcerer.

I don't believe that path is impacted by your choice here, so you can take whatever you like (if I am correct).

whats a mythic path then? i understood its special bonuses i get, but now i see it also might fail if i choose Demon and be a good character.

[XartaX]

Mythic path is essentially the source of your mythic powers. If you choose demon, that means your mythic path will focus on embracing demonhood.

Everyone will recommend the lich, although I don't.

Azata is good (for every class), since you are chaotic (they prefer CG, which won't faze you as sorcerer), and they have two solid caster abilities.
Trickster can be good, but there is a catch. You actually need to have high skills to get something out of it. And there are very few classes who have many skillpoints. You get 8 rank 1 powers, 4 rank 2, and 2 rank 3 (which are the OP ones). Persuasion at rank 2 will give all mobs shaken and try to paralyze them (which works way better than any spell for battlefield control). You don't need the skill to pick it up, but if you cannot make a decent skill check with it, it does nothing. If you are interested in the path, better check out what the skill powers do and which ones to take as "majors". Since you get rank 3 only at rank 7, best check out which rank 2 you want, which stay with you much longer.
Angel is fine with any class, but they like you LG. Not a special fit for sorcerer, but you will be much like a mystic theurge.
Forget about Demon, since it is melee oriented and a caster is terrible in melee. Not even mentioning your forte is spellcasting, preferably from the sidelines.
Aeon has it's advantages, but is LN aligned, your direct opposite. Maybe not your thing, but again, changing alignment doesn't have an effect on your class, unlike a pally or druid.

by reading CN is the Trickster and i see its a tricky mythic
i was trying to search skill powers in google with no result.
maybe it have a different name?

also there is a golden dragon path, so maybe ill choose it to be even bigger gold dragon?
ima sorc with gold dragon bloodline xD

also if all fails i can take the legend one i think

[XartaX]

Basically the trickster relies on having high skills. Skill like Perception, persuasion, etc. So it's best either on a high int character or a rogue or another class with a ton of skill points. That said, anyone can benefit from the path. Just make sure you've not spread your skill points around on different skills.

You can take legend, but not before you hit mythic 8. You'll spend mythic 3-8 on a different path.

is this mythic path thing also related to drawing power from good, death, abyss and etc related somehow?
choosing mythic hero for now as the only unlocked thing and i dont understand which one to choose.
Close to heavens sounds nice but it say draw power from good O.o
i draw powers from anything that is related to me being CN?

[XartaX]

Mythic hero is just 1-3. At 3 you have to choose between mythical paths. Then later on at 8 you can go legend, basically denying the mythical paths for a mortal path.

Trickster is the CN path for sure. If you think it doesn't suit you, you could always go Azata. It's chaotic good, though. But at least it's relatively close and works with sorceror. Keep in mind it's one of the harder paths to unlock in the beginning, you have to solve a certain quest in a certain way.

I was originally planning for my sorcerer to go Trickster. Rank 3 Persuasion trick has a decent chance of making a bunch of enemies attempt to kill themselves in the first round of combat. VERY tempting. Likewise Rank 3 UMD would be great for getting a bunch of spells to cast.

But ultimately I went Azata. It was a bit too tempting, as I was going for more summoning focus on my sorcerer and that path features a lot of summoning stuff and a cute companion. My sorcerer was also CG. The Trickster path is naturally CN, but you can take any path that is within one step of your alignment without any issues (so Demon, Trickster, or Azata would all be available to you without any issues about alignment changes required.)
