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

Are you prompted to pick one explicitly BG2 style or do you pick which one you want to go after, and then all other options simply become closed?

 

I think you can start with multiple romances and pick 1 later for more serious shit

 

Traps and explosion kill a few. You let those that are alive to go attack NPCs since they cannot die and you attack them from behind with everyone but Amiri. You rage Amiri and tell her to charge the archers.

As for cave, well Bokken does give you a few flasks to fight them with. And you should have everburning torches. And if you got Harrim, use Firebelly and spam it every round vs swarms.
If you still cannot do it, ignore the quest until you level up and find more party members.

 

You are asking about f****g romances in a crpg. Romances. Seriously. On the Codex. What did you expect? This is still the Codex and it's encouraging that you actually can't get a straight answer. We have sunk low but not that low yet.

 

No, i mean design wise. Bugs will be fixed after some time.

 

I wan't to respec Valerie into aldori defender fighter. Are they any good?

 

Baron Smilodon strikes back!

Russin speaking crowd, do you have idea WTF is this?

 

Not playing it, but from what I heard - if you try that, not even single romance will come to the finish, most likely they won't even start after first.

 

Hmm any situation/build where the other Ranger's Hunter's bond can be useful?

 

Are you sure NPCs can't die? Because in one of my attempts poor Bokken got literally gibbed by a bowman. I reloaded at that point, so I suppose he could have gotten better somehow, but still...

 

After combat ends they both rise up. Maybe if they get gibbed it works differently but normal "dying " does not kill them even if in the log it says they died.

 

Respecced Amiri into mad dog. Now i have smilodon in my party too. He's the brains in their duo.

 

Rarely they can. For instance if Bartholomew goes down in the second troll fight he's dead for good (although he dies through dialogue box). In the first one though, he just rises up.
That bitchy Pitax noble can get critgibbed when you meet him fighting trolls, but usually you can rescue (and kill) him yourself after a chat.

 

Still waiting for the big patch so I can start playing it again... another week... maybe...

 

Lol, that's the end game prize for you right there
You finished the game?

 

If they made animations for darts then why the f*** aren't darts normally available from the start? In case of slings, as I understand, they didn't make the animations so that's A reason. But in this case... weird.

 

When D&D transitioned from 2nd to 3rd editions, HPs basically doubled. Dealing direct damage as a wizard post 2nd edition is a very sub-optimal strategy. Saving throws were also changed, and feats granting significant advantages to avoid spell effects (evasion, slippery mind, etc.) took a lot of wind of the wizard's sails. IMO, the 2nd edition mixture of spells was also a bit kinder to mages. We no longer get Horror as a Level 2 spell, for example. Many defensive spells also got majorly nerfed between 2nd and 3rd.

Baldur's Gate also had a lot of items to pump your spells per day, and tons of wands that packed a punch (because HP were lower). Once you get up in levels, your 3rd edition wizard will actually have more spells per day, but it takes time. Regardless, it's all about pumping DC and going for save or suck and save or die spells. All things are secondary to DC. Wizards are still king, but not by much--especially in pathfinder, and even less so in a CRPG.

 

They said they aren't doing a big patch at all atm. Just be prepared to wait months, maybe half a year from now.

 

It will be very interesting when they start to launch the DLCs, where they will introduce new and revolutionary bugs to corrupt the saves in a way never before seen.

 

epic feat selectable at level 1

 

Having tinkered with a few characters in chapter one AND not having a clue about pathinder before starting the game, my experience is that if you want an easy time early on, then the animal companion is the way to go. Even my druid's boar can tank as good as miss turtle; the prehistoric murder machine versions are even better.

Out of those I've tried (druid and sylvan sorcerer), unsurprisingly the sorceress had it easier, because she had far superior disabling spells. Set to auto-daze, before combat set Valerie to charge (so that she can actually arrive on the battlefield before the next ice age), then move pet, move sorceress, hit with color spray. Enemies don't seem to retarget unless you put your caster right next to them, and color spray has a small range, but still wide enough to avoid this. Unfortunately she got defeated by one of the earlier hotfixes, so the druid marches on instead.

 

Another thing is, spells in BG2 always hit. Here not, and this is because it's in fact a more faithful transposition of PNP rules. Touch attach, ranged attack all this shit (they were present in the 2nd ed. as well, but were not implemented in IE games). It's good in PNP for reasons... mostly because it's a team game, and you need to help each others and work together, so better buff than try hit and miss shit. Here, there's no team... just 1 guy controlling everyone. Sooooo, I would have liked a BG approach tbqh (also obviously all the cheese, spell triggers, contingencies, MORE SPELLS, time stop and what not).

I really miss the epic lich/dragon battles from an Edwin perspective.

 

Yes, you can romance multiple people, including the tupperware gnomes.

There's an excellent salad-tossing scene as everyone gets together for the complimentary gang-bang.

They all remain open until the end of the game.

Just like Octavia's barn door.
