Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

[Jenkem]

my main character is a wizard and he never uses acid splash unless I specifically tell him and/or set it to auto (for dealing w/ swarms/trolls) if I don't select anything he just uses his crossbow

 

[Jarpie]

I JUST realized you can keep the AI from spamming Acid Splash by putting Disrupt Undead on autocast. Octavia resorts to her bow now.

or put charge on autocast, that works too.

That is how it was for me too for the first several levels. Then you finally get fireballs and shit. And then every fight is just fireball fireball fireball, ice cone, the fire that bounces between stuff, rest and repeat.

 

[ArchAngel]

Any caster with Acid Splash will attempt to use it because Owlcat haven't managed to make a sensible AI.

And that AI is still better than players. Using bow with Octavia instead of Acid Splash is a sign of a retard player.

Some people don't specialize her towards Arcane Trickster.

Even then you should not be using a bow. Only reason to use a bow would be to switch completely into a bow character instead of a caster but that is kind of a bad idea for a characters that comes as wizard 1/rogue 1 and has such high Int.

Shadenuat how did you use maegar on hard?his ac even after buffs is bad.

 

[Shadenuat]

ac doesn't matter

there are at least a few reasons u sometimes want to use bow:
- Flanking is not applicable (and so is sneak attack)
- Target too far
- You want to keep character far away (for example from blinding aura or just aggro)

there is no reason for this AI since Autocast exists.

 

[razvedchiki]

also whats the max lvl you can get during the dlc?

 

[Shadenuat]

full party level 9, with 50% exp left to level 10

1. Acid attack that ignores DR and SR and has 50% more chance to hit is still better.
2. Get closer, you will miss anyways. Or use a real spell.
3. Cast some other spell, don't use a bow.

 

[Efe]

he can do whatever he wants. its not okay that ai prevents you from doing it when autocast exists.
whats next? you are not allowed to lose?

 

[Shadenuat]

also dweomer cats.

There might be 1.3 beta version out today, both on Steam and GOG this time, will be interesting to see what changes it brings.

 

[ArchAngel]

I think I will sit out this beta and wait for full release. I got Path of Exile to play now anyways.

 

[anvi]

Path of Exile is mindless.

 

[Seari]

Does anyone know if dragon form texture is still only black?

 

[Thonius]

Well if it's really important for you, install bags and tricks mod and test it :^)

 

[razvedchiki]

So if 1.3 is around the corner then the endless dungeon want be long?

 

[Fedora Master]

I can't bring myself to play this again. It's odd, I don't dislike the game at all but the early game is just so trite now and the little bugs and weird design decisions just turn me the fuck off every time I try to replay. You STILL get your entire hotbar shat up with icons when you memorize spells - WHY?

You can turn off in options to have icons be auto placed on the hotbar.

It's there but it hasn't worked since release.

 

[anvi]

It is easy to just move shit off the hotbar. And there are very few bugs now. My only problem with the game is that it is boring. Boring repetitive combat, not enough bosses, boring areas, boring story, boring quests, boring characters, super boring empire management mini game gimmick. But as a tactical RPG it does everything TOEE or BG2 does only in a more modern engine.

This is why you roll barbarian. No spells to crowd your hotbar.
