[2022] Do you guys consider substituting mythic powers for mythic feats a bug or a feature?

Original Post — Direct link

One of the mythic feat options lets you select a mythic power in lieu of a mythic feat. That's straightforward enough, but the in-game UI says that you can only make a substitution once.

However, as currently implemented, there is no limit to the amount of times you can select a mythic power instead of a mythic feat.

I can't decide if the current implementation is intentional, or if it's a bug. It seems like an important enough bug to fix, if it's not working as intended, But, if it is working as intended, it should be trivial for the developers to update the descriptive text and delete the part that says you can only substitute once per character.

What do you guys think? Is substituting multiple mythic feats for mythic Powers a feature, or a bug?

I'm thinking the bug is that the "extra mythic ability" feat can be taken multiple times, because it bugs out when you've taken it multiple times and you switch mythic paths at mythic level 8. I had taken the "extra mythic ability" feat 3 times, and after I switched my Druid's mythic path to Golden Dragon I suddenly had the "master shapeshifter" mythic ability twice, and I lost the "enduring spells" mythic ability. When analysing the character in Toybox I could confirm that the "enduring spells" trait was indeed gone, and it worked fine again when I added it back with Toybox. I took both "master shapeshifter" and "enduring spells" per the "extra mythic ability" feat, and they were my first and second picks for "extra mythic abilty". This stuff didn't happen when I didn't switch mythic paths, so the bug might also simply be with switching mythic paths, though.

In any case, I'm really curious what the official Owlcat stance on this question is. Is it intentional that "extra mythic ability" can be taken multiple times or not? u/OwlcatStarrok ?

It's a bug. Unsure if we'll be fixing it though, as it would affect the current gameplay a lot.

Yes please leave it be. XD so many of my playthroughs were already done with it bugged. (If anything change the description so it no longer says you can only take it once :P fixed either way in that case).

(Plus shouldn't expanded arsenal be a priority? It's giving busted DCs and is really counter-intuitive the way it works).

Just got an update from the creative director himself, it stays :) Too many builds are based on it to change it now. So consider this a feature.

Very cool to have gotten direct developer feedback from a thread I created about something that's been "bugging" me for a long time. Thanks for running it up the chain of command :)

Is there any possibility for a similar/symmetrical option to pick a mythic feat instead of a mythic power? I understand it would take a good bit of programming manpower. It would be a great boon for martial classes that have a lot of interesting mythic feat options, but feel left out when it comes to mythic power goodness.

I wouldn't count on something like that specifically being added.
