I watched a playthrough of Paragon 3.0 (which seems to be an alpha version), and while it was amusing to see hordes of Azure Dragons, the storyline was actually quite good, and I liked it more than the current Paragon 2.0.
I especially liked the development of the storyline with Erina. So, will this version of the storyline be added to the actual 3.0?
I'm attaching screenshots to make it clear what I'm talking about.
Even from a logical and common-sense perspective, Erina appears at the very beginning of the storyline, through a dream, and provides very significant support throughout the playthrough (because without magic, it's obvious that nothing would have worked, and Mograine would have simply lost). Aelwynn, whom Mograine inexplicably remembers in Paragon 2.0, was of no use at all, and was defeated in the very first raid by the "traitors" in my playthrough, and this did not affect the progress of the rest of the map (unlike Vaela and Erina, who were extremely helpful). In Paragon 3.0, Mograine instead has a final memory of an earth elemental during the attack on "Pegasus," which is more logical.
Moreover, in Paragon 2.0, Mograine says at the end that he is an emperor and cannot violate the laws of his state in the final dialogue when attacking the "Sorcerer" monster after defeating the Incinerator, but he is now a servant of the One, which means that any trials or other concerns of people no longer have any power over him, so why did he have to respond that way and offend Erina? The emperor's wisdom seems to have failed him. It was corrected in 3.0.

So, I really hope that the actual Paragon 3.0 will use this version of the ending of Mograine's story.

Yeah, I get it. Given my situation, it was inevitable that I would attract some haters and just generally unpleasant people.

Well, I understand. In my situation, it was inevitable that I would attract some haters and just plain weirdos.

Is it really necessary to label criticism as "haterism"?
A decent ending could have been written from the very beginning.

Mr. Nobody, what gives you the right to speak like that and demand something from the map author, especially when the map was provided to you for free? In the VK group dedicated to the map, people ask questions and offer constructive criticism and suggestions. But here comes someone unknown and immediately starts complaining and acting superior.

Marmot is the same clown who not so long ago posted a "leaked" fake Paragon 3.0 here, so the meaningful content of this thread is approaching zero.

I also thought about that later, but since there is no evidence that it is the same person, it remains an assumption.
The most important thing is that the official 3rd version of the map is not yet being distributed.

I also couldn't find a link to download the 3rd version of the map.
However, the topic makes sense, as it would be great if the 3rd version of the map corrected the plot and implemented a proper ending (for Erianna).

Here is an interesting review of the Paragon 2.0 storyline; I probably agree completely and will hope that the correction will be included in version 3.0:
Mighty Author
First of all, the creator of this map (Paragon 2.0) borrowed half of the plot from the same game, WoW, by Blizzard, so his version of the plot development is no better than the one presented in the Paragon 3.0 walkthrough on YouTube. Both are simply unofficial, non-commercial fan fiction in terms of the story itself.

Secondly, in fictional works, there are things like composition, logic, and plot development. If a hero spends the entire journey with a certain heroine, then purely from a logical and common-sense point of view, he should feel sympathy for this heroine, simply because it is a natural development of the situation when two people go through very serious trials together. Just as he becomes virtually best friends with Vael after this story.

Moreover, in the current stable version of the Paragon map, Erianna herself says at the end that "it would only take a little more, and I would fall in love with you," and before that, on the Ice Blade, she hints at the presence of sympathy, and therefore, it is absolutely logical that Mograine can and should choose her, and not excuse himself by saying that he is, after all, an Emperor and must obey the law, when he is already a servant of the One God and is essentially outside the laws of mortals. So yes, this is precisely the act of a Lawful Good character.

Why introduce Erianna and hint that she likes Mograine, and then build most of the plot around her, only to end the story so absurdly? They could have simply added a male mage with the same role in the story instead of her.
