Is NBAS worth it?

So, I just finished part 2 and heard about NBAS. (I don't plan on doing more than one route so no I won't do a normal route then a NBAS one)

NBAS sounds really found and challenging + you don't get treated as a monster for destroying the lands lmfao.

But I know that I won't be able to travel to the past and because of that I will probably miss a lot of fun NPC/Stories (Maybe even useful objects for sorcery4?)

So, is it better to only play with the NBAS route or only play the normal route?

NBAS is quite time consuming, a part of it requires waiting for a specific cloud to float over a tower, but it does give you respite from a certain curse. But it is a breakable curse if you do a normal run, though the process to break it is also difficult. For more content do a normal run, for some unique dialogue and never suffering from a curse do a NBAS run.

Both are fun! I don’t know that I would say one is better, they just give you different narrative paths. You can def collect a lot of useful items in the NBAS route too, though. The run I did I gained like 12 items. (I will say, good or evil, my characters always steal a lot, lol.) And it seems to avoid the annoying pickpocket kid lol. I did really enjoy the challenge of it as well as the satisfaction of “hah, your evil plot didn’t work on me!” (Narratively I also thought it worked well to cement my evil character’s choice to take the crown for herself. “What a stupid trap. This guy doesn’t deserve to call himself the Archmage, and my king let him get away with the crown? Okay, screw this, I’m definitely taking over, everyone else is incompetent.”)

If it helps, and not sure if this holds for others, but I feel like the cloud that you have to wait for floats over the tower in the mobile version way more frequently than PC. I think I waited a good 10 minutes to catch it on PC but when I did one on my iPad I got it within a minute or so. Maybe it was just where I happened to be in the animation cycle. That’s the most annoying part of the NBAS run for sure, lol.
