You might like it then. It might help if I at least explain that part of my taste is that I am not a gamer who wants to be another average every day Joe. I live that reality every day of my life
I am not interested in being extra special or the chosen one either, though I don't mind like some others do. What I tend to like is being above average in some ways. Not all powerful but to have some special abilities, powers, and heritage. Guess that is my little fantasy escape desire talking along with a general human desire to want to be a bit special.
That being said I was super excited about the whole ML path at first. I was thinking, this is perfect. I will be a Dhampir, so I get that something special in my heritage and supernatural yet my soul won't be tangled up with mythic abilities and gods (more than that I can't say without massive spoilers). A mere mortal giving the finger to all those greater powers … although in truth I like many of those greater powers so its more a figure of speech than any real motive.
The trouble is that to describe what I didn't like really requires knowing a great deal about the plot and how things are handled. It would require complete spoilers to really explain. Even hints might be too much as it would trigger some "ah ha" moments early on.
So all I can say is that I felt bad as I slowly had my powers removed and that I did not like some of the repercussions that occurred. Also, while I do like some of the powers that be, especially Desna, I am not big on Iomade and it grated on my nerves the part she plays in the ML path.
I had started as an angel and after going ML things started to happen I didn't like related to quests and people I knew. EDIT: It is even worse in some ways if Azata as the poor little dragon Aivu
There were a couple of nice moments, like one scene in the commanders room, I did enjoy. I also thought how they did the quest to become mortal again was well done even if it made me regret doing it … but that was I guess part of the point.
That, in itself, shows how well they did it IMO. It can be very hard to make the player really torn over a decision like this. On the one hand once you find out some things going mortal again seems like the best option … yet they make it hard to do so and, to me, there is some cost to doing that beyond simply losing your powers.
Better stop there as probably already said too much.
I think if you enjoy playing games as a normal person who rises above and beyond their "mortal" condition to do great things, then playing the ML path would be enjoyable for you. My good friend is like that. He hated having gods and demons poking around inside him and strange powers. He rejects all that and wants no ties to religion or gods or demons or whatever. So he was all about the ML and embraced it. He was pissed he couldn't do it from the start.
Lastly, was the story boring? Again preference. IMO it wasn't even close to Angel or Azata in regards to story and depth. The Trickster who I put third in story was also better. Some say the Lich is one of the best stories but I don't do well playing evil so don't know. I felt it was a little better than gold dragon but not by much.
I didn't feel like a whole lot happened afterwards. Remember I did rush through to finish the game though so after I did the ML quest, which was good/OK, I mainly focused on just the main quest only to finish up. I didn't really see any special moments though outside of one fun moment I mentioned at the commanders court. EDIT: Keep in mind what I might not find special in regards to ML someone else might consider a high point in regards to maybe some dialogue options and the like. What I don't recall is any special quests or added content. Might have missed some though.
To me the ML is best for those people who prefer to be "human" (i.e. and related human like races) and mortal, and don't want any obligations, ties, or feel like they are somehow in debt or chained in any way to greater powers. Personally I never felt that way on the Angel or Azata paths and felt I was still able to remove the yoke and make my own decisions and life, especially with Azata which is my favorite path by leaps and bounds (although will say Angel path has the best story and most depth IMO). I think the same can be said for the Trickster and Lich paths. The others I am not as familiar with. Definitely not the AEON one though, you pretty much have to give up who you are in that path, and I think the Demon one you are more enslaved to your rage.
Well that was a long ramble … maybe you got something out of it
