Iron Gods is not going to be featuring a strong allied cast of NPCs really. Not as strong as Jade Regent or Wrath of the Righteous, anyway. There'll be some helpful NPCs along the way that GMs and players can of course make more important... but at this moment, the NPC ally scene is gonna be a pretty minor part of it all.
That may change... but if it does, it'd probably be something I'd have to add in entirely myself since the authors are already well into writing their adventures.

If there are any major Android NPCs with romantic options, I hope they are responsible for killing off the only good aligned orc tribe in Golarion >:|
NOT COOL >:C

Would Reign of Winter be a better comparison? Or Kingmaker?
now I'm wondering how to arrange the APs along such a spectrum, given how subjective it can be in interpretation and during play

Ha! When I first saw this thread, I thought it was going to be a speculation thread like this one. lol

At this point, I'd say it's average, and will be on par with Runelords, Crimson Throne, Second Darkness, Kingmaker, and the like. AKA: There'll be PLENTY of cool NPCs to interact with in each adventure, but very few if any will carry over significantly from adventure to adventure.

YES, ANDROID ROMANCE, GRATUITOUS FAN-SERVICE FOR ALL US SCI-FI NERDS! But if you include murder-sex 'droids, you simply MUST make them erstwhile servants of a megalomaniacal alchemist that strokes an evil cat, who has psionic powers, while he dreams of ruling Golarion utilizing Darklands radioactive bombs, all in the efforts of showing those chumps in Andoren the what-for! And yes, that was my attempt to caricaturize a combo of Austin Powers+Robo Anime+Cold War+Pathfinder!
Seriously though, android romance would be fun, doubly so if the android is a hot female! Just don't make her the type that's moody and pilot's a space-faring iron colossus and you should be fine! ;)

Thank you, This was one of the things that's bugging the hell out of me in Jade Regent. Forced NPC ties like that make the party deform in weird ways. I prefer player driven alliances.
