Kingmaker is in another league. Kingmaker is like the Baldur's Gate of our time.
DOS came and went.

SwarmsDespite Pathfinder Kingmaker being much more popular here, (unfortunately) according to steamcharts, more people are playing D:OS2 than PfK
D:OS2 stats 8,303 playing an hour ago 10,500 24-hour peak 93,350 all-time peak https://steamcharts.com/app/435150
PkF stats 3,233 playing an hour ago 3,729 24-hour peak 22,536 all-time peak https://steamcharts.com/app/640820
D:OS is better reviewed on steam too.

I just don't understand why. PfK has an much better ruleset, has much more viable character builds, an much better story, much better immersion, much more choices and consequences, much more spell/spell like abilities, and Pathfinder Kingmaker has also much less BS mechanics. The unique advantage of D:OS is the multiplayer and if i wanna play MP, i go play NWN1:EE. I wish that PfK devs expand their universe on PfK2 and allow verticality. Allow fly and climb and come with an toolset like Aurora and made create custom made classes/kits/races more easy, that way, they will create the best cRPG of all time.

Kingmaker never left Early Access, not even for the Enhanced Edition.DOS2 by default, Kingmaker is unfinished.

I too remember when Baldur's Gate had paid DLC classes.PfK is clearly flawed but at least stands in the tradition of classic RPGs.

How about uninstall.exe?Someone make me a mod that just shortcuts me to each boss battle and cuts out the other 99% of the game.
Say whatever you want about D:OS 2, they didn't have paid DLC , so they have the upper hand in this regard.
Yea this thread has gone into bizarro land, who gives a flying fuck about DLC and X amount of hours, if game hours is a big deal boy o boy do I have some Bethesda games ready for you.
in Divinity: Original Sin 2 the open, sandboxy nature and the tactical fights, which always required thought, kept pulling me through to the end.
in Pathkinder: Kingmaker the linearity and the (most of the time) too easy difficulty made me abandon the game in chapter 5.
There are plenty of things you could plausibly accuse Owlcat of doing wrong, but not giving players good value for their money? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read on the codex all week, and I say that after foolishly venturing into Lady Error’s creationism thread the other day.
The base game is longer than Baldur’s Gate 2 or Wizardry 7. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a non open-world RPG with more content than Kingmaker. And most of that content is really good!
$40 for the base game, $65 with the season pass. Gimme a fucking break. That’s an incredible bargain, especially since most of the DLC is meaty and the least substantial one is also the cheapest ($7 for wildcards vs $13 for Varnhold’s Lot).
I don’t want to hear about the endgame in comparison to D:OS2, because nobody frontloads their best content more than Larian. Sure, Kingmaker drops off 75% of the way in, but D:OS 1&2 both drop off 25% of the way in.

Easy?
The first research results on pathfinder kingmaker difficulty. Did you played on story mode? Or maybe you can try solo unfair, believe on me. Will be very hard. I played in a custom difficulty more close to "hard" and even with an small party, had a lot of troubles in certain encounters and even got forced to use full party in certain parts(wild hunt for eg). The "tactical" aspect of DOS2 looks much more like environmental gimmicky.
