Aion 3.5 in play

Where it shines, and where it slips.

Strengths

  • Narration: Clean, physical writing with very little stock phrasing; 12th of 140 on EQ-Bench’s creative writing board.
  • Pacing: Among the best at pacing on EQ-Bench’s creative writing board, and its quality held flat across eight chapters.
  • Dark themes: Plays dark and mature material fully, without a positive slant.
  • Characters and dialogue: Strong, believable dialogue in tense scenes.

Drawbacks

  • Following direction: Acted for the player’s character in 6 of 44 checks on RP-Bench, more than most models.
  • Narration: Returns to a few pet phrases and character names from story to story.

Plans and context

What each plan gives Aion 3.5.

It is included on Ultra at $24.99 a month, and on Legendary.

Context is how much the storyteller reads before it writes: the latest scenes, plus the memories, recap, and lore cards the moment needs. Bigger plans give a model more of it, which helps most in long campaigns.

Outside the guide

How public boards rank Aion 3.5.

None of these boards tests roleplay, so the guide reads them beside its own notes from real stories rather than in their place.

A high rank on long stories tends to mean fewer slips late in a campaign; a high arena rank means people liked its prose in a blind vote.
