KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Mortmal]

it makes sense.Same when your capital get invaded , its a good idea to do side quests later too.It's as if the game wants you to make tactical choices and prepare your journey, ah those rpg games are really odd things...

I fear by the time I start playing, the devs will have modified Pathfinder: Kingmaker irreparably to cater to whiny bitches with timerphobia and difficulty mode insecurity.

Yes that's why we cant have nice things, even here people dont even try to understand the system, if they fail it must be design fault or a bug. That desire of instant gratification completely ruined our hobby.

Stuck at the lizardfolk village. I talked to the boy, exhausted all options, he had the king run in and there's no new options. Went and talked to everyone on the map and nothing. What am I supposed to do?

AH! You have to succeed the arcane lore check to get a hint, now what could you do in a D&D magic setting to uncover an invisible being and therefore get another dialog choice...

 

[DeepOcean]

Better make a backup copy of the game as it is right now boys, just in case the whining bitches at steam win.

 

[Mortmal]

Are there any estimates on how long this game is?

49 hours in only at chapter 3 and plenty of land to annex , my barony is far from being constructed too.So can estimate it to be the size of BG2 at least. It's called an EPIC , the kind of rpg you see once a blue moon.

I'm loving this motherfucking game, can't believe it's taken this long to get the DnD character creation / RTwP experience right again.

Game is buggy, some mechanics are unclear/bugged and the writing is pulp fantasy at best. Still, it hearkens back to the good old days of RPG choices and consequences (the real kind, the kind where you choose how your character plays), progression feels great and having the ability to create your own party members is oh god its heavan.

And I like that little blurb for RPGCodex (and some other unknown sites) whenever you open the game.

That Codex blurb is very nice but I miss having one of their devs here talking with us

One should present himself to get Fisted for this

How's the performance, fellow gamers? Anyone here playing in 1440p?

performance is fine, only problem is the loading times

they're not that long individually but there's a lot of them

 

[J1M]

This game would be near-perfect if it had turn-based combat. They've done a really good job with everything else.

 

[Zero Credibility]

what's the point of the altertness feat when it's just a gimp version of skill focus - perception?

Alertness in 3.5 gave +2 bonus to 2 skills while skill focus gave +3 to 1 skill. I guess Paizo changed one and forgot about the other.

Nope, it also gives +2 to 2 skills in Pathfinder. The problem is, the other skill is not in this game, so there really is no point to it here.

Anyone know what is going on with Monk flurry of blows?

It doesn't seem to be working? at least I can't see the extra attack in the logs, and can't see any toggle for it either.

 

[Dawkinsfan69]

so is this game more focused on writing or do you spend most of the time in character creation/fights?

I've seen the writing dinged a few times here but I really like it. The game does a good job at reacting to your choices.

I cannot understand why the fuck the devs decided that most encounters need 'uptuning' (multiple swarms in the spider cavern, the 'cursed bear' in the elk temple turned into a fucking treant, the buffs to the Stag Lord and to his fucking owlbear) and at the same time decided it was a good idea to make the 'main' tank of the party a 13 str, 15 charisma fighter.
Or that the first party members are an UNDEAD inquisitor, a bard, and a sorceror. Ora that there should be no full-class wizard as a obtainable companion, at least not in act 1. Or to actually include the whole slashing grace/fencing grace talent tree and piranha bite, but not dervish dance.

Rogue gets free finesse and then grace for one qualifying weapon without non-dualwield clause or even a penalty like 2 weapon grace does in PnP as a class feature on Lv 3. You read that right, Owlcats go out their way to make rogue good.

At this point I don't think anybody expects a new Lord of the Rings. Anything that isn't WORDSWORDSWORDSSEXWORDSGAYWORDSSEXWORDS is a blessing.

This game is cool but it's annoying seeing everyone call the bad reviews CASUAL GAMERZ when there's, like, genuine serious problems and major bugs, some of which can permanently derail your character development. Seems like a fair reason to write a harsh review to me, I dunno

Now that you mention it, Octavia has the ability in her list to bond with an item and recover one used spell slot once per rest but I have not seen anywhere how to do that.

There are plenty of problems with the implementation right now but the reviews people scoff at aren't the ones that point those out.

It's hit an miss. What works always works extremely well and what doesn't is always really fucking dumb.

 

[Serus]

Quality of the writing aside - it isn't the focus of the game. Most of the time is spent in fights. And slowly walking. And loading screens.

Spoiler

It's still good

That's cool. Do you know if you spend most time in dialogue/exploring or if you spend most time in combat?

This is fine, what I don't tolerate is: "I can't play this game at unfair!" 0/10

Played time: 30 seconds.

 

[L'Montes]

I've been enjoying the game so far. It's got bugs. Like, I find myself having to reset the graphics/game options everytime I boot up because it resets to default for some reason. Many of the abilities have no text or the wrong text on mouse-over. Some are buggy.

But eh... I mean, it's not crashing constantly (or at all, so far, for me), and the quests haven't been bugging out on me... so, it's mostly inconveniences as opposed to deal-breaking stuff so far.

I feel like the game gets a lot better after you rescue the EcleissiesesiiieieThurge and the two slaves, as far as party options go. The game intimated that the rescue of the former was timely, which makes me wonder if you can just be too late and he dies. It's unclear to me at this point if I'm missing any major party options.

Hmm.

I don't know for sure how to activate for her, but for the cleric you press the < on the spell icon, and the menu that pops up has divine bonded item icon and spontaneous healing conversion. I assume it's the same.

It's unclear to me at this point if I'm missing any major party options.

There's at least two companions who join you in chapter 2 (ranger and alchemist).

You spend most time in combat/exploration.
