Mythic Alignments

[GrandMajora]

Okay, so based on what we've seen, heard and read about them so far, it seems like each of the different Mythic Paths is designed to appeal to one of the 9 different alignment spectrums. While you are not forced to play as that alignment in order to choose that path, you may find that some content from that path is blocked off.

For example, you can not transform into a Lich, without becoming EVIL alignment, even if you pick the Lich path for your character.

After giving it some thought, I've come up with a list of what alignment I believe each of the Mythic Paths are best designed for.

---------------------------

Good Mythics

Angel - Lawful Good: Pretty obvious, I shouldn't really need to explain this.

Gold Dragon - Neutral Good: I know they're supposed to be LG, but that spot seems to have been taken by the Angel already.

Azata - Chaotic Good: You're basically a super hero, fighting to ensure the personal freedoms of all who fall under your protection.

-------------------------------------

Neutral Mythics

Aeon - Lawful Neutral: This one is pretty obvious, being a force of cosmic order, rather than affiliated with any sense of mortal laws and customs.

Legend - True Neutral: So apparently, you just reject any of the other paths and choose to go your own way.

Trickster - Chaotic Neutral: Of course this would be the most obvious alignment for someone who's purpose in life is to mess with people.

-----------------------------

Evil Mythics

Lich - Lawful Evil: Okay, so filling the crusades with an army of undead who are unquestioningly loyal to you is certainly one way to go about enforcing order and stability in an army that hasn't achieved ♥♥♥♥ in the last 100 years.

Swarm that Walks - Neutral Evil: "Devour, devour, suffocate your own empire!" - Shinedown.

Demon - Chaotic Evil: Yet again, pretty obvious as to why this alignment seems the most appropriate.

Your list has some errors in it. For starters the True neutral Mythic path is the " Legend " one which is basically to not pick any path at all. Swarm that walks is the NE one. Which is why Lich is LE and not NE instead .

As for the Devil Path Its actually a secret one and you should have used spoiler tags for it.

It's precisely because the Legend rejects all the mythic path options that I didn't include it on the list. It technically isn't even a path, it's just an extremely powerful character.

It is a mythic path. The one that rejects all other powers . And even if it wasnt that still doesnt mean Swarm is True Neutral. This is the description the developers give for Swarm :

"An all-devouring monstrocity. This is the path of ultimate Evil, and you should be ready to see even the closest of friends become your enemies - or your food. "

The path of ULTIMATE evil. I mean , what more is there to say here

Also here is the list of the 9 mythic paths where it lists Legend as one of them

But I guess you know better than Owlcat.

Also take note how Devil is not listed

Yes, I know that it's a path option. but what I'm saying is that there's no reason why it should be considered the TN path. It's just you rejecting the call of any particular path and choosing to do things your own way. That means you could be any alignment you want.

Anyways, changed the list.

I see your point here. I guess its the TN because "something" needed to be. Its similar to how Golden Dragon ended up to be Neutral good despite the fact that they are Lawfull Good in the lore but like you said, we already have Angel in that.

If I understood some feedback from the beta correctly, you can have the alligment "next" to the Mythic paths alligment without issues ( like angel being able to be LG NG and LN).
If that is true then you can indeed be any alligment with Legend like you said.

Yeah, I figured it would allow players some degree of leeway in the alignment spectrum. Since the Lich mentor just says you need to be evil, but didn't specify what degree of evil.

But that aside, I just don't feel right playing anything other than CE as a Demon, or LG as an Angel, since the canonical lore states that they must be those alignments, or else they transform into a completely different creature.
