The problem with most APs is that they are not made for evil characters especially Wrath of the righteous. I mean what reason should a chaotic Evil char have to join some crusade against demons? If they really use it then there won't be as many role-playing options like in Kingmaker
If you think all Evil creatures are in cahoots then you've got a very narrow understanding of alignment. There are plenty of reasons a Chaotic Evil character might join a crusade against demons.

No, but even the first book of the AP says that the whole thing is made for Lawful Good chars. One of Kingmakers greatest strengths was that it worked for characters with all alignments I just don't see this working here.
There are also the AP mass combat feature which works poorly with RTWP

That's probably true, I was just responding to your broader statement about a chaotic evil character...

Kingmaker is about two tiers better than PoE in both combat/gameplay and narrative/writing.

I don't go around shouting it too much, because the comparison is so humiliating, that I kinda feel bad for Obsidian.

I can see a chaotic evil sorcerer making a deal with a devil, then wanting to break out of the contract. Which results in the sorcerer revolting against his fiendish benefactor. It's not all back and white :P

There is nuance to the system. It just all depends on how well written the motivations are.

Rape and pillage? There's lots of loot and peasant maidens succubi for an evil character to seize in any war.

I'm also sad that Fallout New Vegas didn't include the best Fallout 3 armor.

Shitmaker 2: Turdistry in action, boy I can't wait. And stop comparing the first shitshow to PoE, that's like saying I can run faster than a one legged pregnant woman.
