So, The Act V Decision...
Did nobody consider this decision creates some dissonance if you're an Aasimar on the Angel path? My character is an Aasimar Paladin devoted to Iomedae, so he's descended from angels by birth anyway, then the rug gets pulled out from under me and if I want to stay an angel I basically have to reject my own Goddess and by extension, do what Nocticulus wants.. Feels like the plot twist on your powers coming from Areelu can really undermine a lawful good Aasimar character and railroad you into the Legend path even though it makes less sense.

You know the dumbest thing about the Angel Mythic Path metagaming wise as an Aasimar? You get double halos and another set of Wings.

Thematically speaking, using the Aasimar race for the Angel Mythic Path is just pointless. If making your PC look like Angels is your main goal, you're better off just using Humans and turn them into literal Angels rather than using Aasimar.

the whole bit where you're basically forced to play nice with noticulus was really off as a good character. It made no sense why i wouldn't smite her like all the other demons. but no, my dialogue options were basically "i won't take your help" and that was the most aggressive option.

Not only that, she still helped you even if you refused her help both times.

Aasimar should logically be the perfect choice for Angel Mythic path, as their lineage gradually awakens, ditto Tieflings and the Demon path. Really odd they don't seem to have considered people would do exactly this.

You could say the same about Angel-Blooded Sorcerers. Imagine taking an Aasimar, pick the Empyreal Sorcerer and the Angel Mythic Path. That's 3 sets of Wings. What's the point?

That's because she's a good demon succubus.

"Good"

Okay, sure.

He is reffering to her canon lore which is for her to redeem herself but whether that happens or not in the game is up to you.

It was a kick in the nuts for me too but I was the lawfulest and goodest paladin so I chose legend. Turned out interesting.

Yeah. Didn’t he know that in Pathfinder an attractive woman can redeem herself on a whim? Centuries of murder and genocide? No problem! Would you like your own realm in Elysium? How many adorable fairy dragons with that?

Shes been trying to redeem herself for centuries at this point, and eventually succeeds, becoming only the second Demon to ascend to full godhood as the Redeemer Queen.

Is she "non evil"? Lamashtu still seems to be a sinister ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Midnight Isles becomes a "divine" realm or something? I guess in this "Pc game" version Ember was helping in pushing her to "redemption".

I got the redeemer queen ending.... playing LG aasimar paladin. The midnight isles are taken over by Shasil (or something I forget), and Nocticula goes to elysium because you made her good again.

To be fair three pairs of wings sounds pretty par for the course for old testament angels. You should consider yourself lucky you didn't turn into a wheel lined with eyes.
