Do different mythic paths change the story? Or is just for gameplay mechanics?

All mythic paths have their own unique story. Some like angel and demon have the most changes while the late mythic paths, devil, legend and gold dragon, don't have much story to them. Azata has alright content, most of the story is tied to Aivu your fairy dragon pet, she's essentially another companion in the way she reacts to the world around her. But the quests are kinda barebones but the free crusaders are amusing. You can recruit children into your army if you want along with mimics and trenants.

Lich is pretty cool, I usually dislike evil paths but I think it does a good job into making you feel like an evil motherfucker. Be warned that you're pretty much railroaded into being a pure evil being, some people didn't like that since the game kinda hints that you could be a pragmatic and calculated lich since some of your path events deal with the co-exitiance between the living and the undead. You also get certain undead companions that sadly are pretty much just mercenaries. Trickster story is pretty weak but the path is very mechanically strong especially for martial builds. Trickster to legend is a very powerful combo because you get to keep the very powerful trickster feats. Aeon has a pretty strong story with being able to change the past.
