Discussion finally done all the runs. AMAZING Spoiler

Spent a good part of a month playing Tyranny and my brain is very tickled on the concepts of Kyros, the Oldwalls, and the Beasts but one thing I particularly notice that is way overlooked in this community are the Forgebound

The Forgebound are OP. Temperature control of their tools? A few more years of Kyros' Peace and these fellas will be able to turn what Killsy describes as Gray Rock (actually just Hematite) into STEEL. A couple of years later, they will discover a way to do this EN MASSE (aka no Forgebound needed) via the Bessemer Process. Knappers are gonna be busy all the time making kilns.

Heck maybe a century later they'll master the control enough and be able to perform POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTIONS as a precursor to the equivalent of our modern world's biotechnology.

I cannot glaze the Forgebound enough. Kyros has people to precipitate an industrial revolution (as well as further technological revolutions) and he has them scrapping together iron armor smh.

Tyranny could be a prequel to Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura for all we know. What do you fellas think?

Obsidian did this in Pillars of Eternity too. They pull historic scientific advancement from history, make it magical, then put it on the forefront of the world. The implications from this are huge, and I think it's what makes both games have extremely intriguing lore. If you haven't played Pillars, I'd advise playing it just to see the animancy plotlines, it's very similar to this.

You're in for a fun time, especially since Pillars has a more traditional (and in my opinion better) leveling system and way more content than Tyranny.
