to be clear, these Archetypes are only with purchase of Lord of nothing DLC, or are being added to base campaign?
are they useable in base campaign, with purchase?
They are added if you buy the DLC and yes, they are usable in the base campaign.
I apologize. There is a 2.2 update that I think the DLC is dependent on. The 2.2 update include the Pearl of Power, I think.
I was curious if the additional archetypes were unlocked by purchasing the DLC or part of the 2.2 update. If unlocked by purchasing the DLC, are they available game-wide or only usable in The Lord of Nothing?
You need to purchase the DLC to unlock the archetypes. If you do so, they will be available both in the Lord of Nothing mini-campaign, and in the main campaign.
What's the release date?
Took a while indeed. Sorry about that!
Asked elsewhere, but is there any chance that certain companions will be able to be reclassed into a new archetype? The reason I ask is a few of these archetypes seem almost perfect for said characters.
One of the Lich Companions Ciar would honestly be perfect in the Ghost Rider archetype, like it makes a lot of sense to me. And a later game companion, Trever, is practically written to be a Tortured Crusader (albeit his Chaotic Alignment may impact that). Spoiled them in case they are considered spoilers due to their nature in the game, but still wondering if either of these characters can be reclassed into the new archetypes at all?
Definitely not for the DLC. And unlikely at all, because then the main campaign would REQUIRE the DLC for playthrough.
So the archtypes are linked to buying the DLC? Guess I'll just have to get them then, all very awesome and exciting classes.
Yup, archetypes are a part of DLC content.
