As Chris said in his interview with gamespot. It appears she will be an unlockable in normal difficulty by "finding her". if i remember correctly anwyay

I really feel like getting the scion after beating normal is too easy. She should be in a cage at the end of the Dominus fight in merc. Make it a real challenge and therefore a real achievement to unlock her.

There would be a lot of hardcore players that would never, ever get to see her.

And "real achievement" sort of loses its shine if you're not talking about hardcore...

So no, this is a terrible idea. Unlocked at the end of normal is fine, just like D2 unlocked hardcore once you finished the game in normal.

Also, how is the scion going to work in races? Already unlocked? Not available?

Why shouldn't it be available?

Because each race is its own league. I'm assuming the unlock isnt account wide. If it is then the requirement to beat normal is pointless. Beating the game on normal in standard is a joke for even the worst players, so they might as well just give it to us now.

I'm fairly sure it is.

Having to unlock it for every league ever would grow real old real fast.

The only lock her away so new players don't choose her without knowing what they are getting into. After clearing Normal people should at least somewhat know what is what and some would rather keep playing their current char than start a new one right away.

Also unnerving is the fact that the writer calls the spectral blade a unique attack the Scion specializes in. I'm hoping this is just the writer's inexperience with PoE's open skill system and the skill isn't only usable by scions.

Highly doubtful. That'd be pretty dumb.

It's her *starting* skill, that's all.

The Scion is unlocked account-wide.
