KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

"A shitposter and two dumbfucks enter a bar thread..." - the beginning of a beautiful internet joke

 

A shitposter and two dumbfucks enter a bar thread. The two dumbfucks look at the shitposter and one says to the other, "Damn, mate. If that is what the saltie passed, I don't want to know what it ate!"

 

I always thought that giving people for shitposting actual unique colorful neat tags is a bit counter-intuitive to the idea of what these tags should do. Since it just makes them feel even more special. Now they have both all the parrots AND shiny tags noobs don't have and are all fabulous.

 

In my view admins have been largely accurate with tags.

 

I earned them while being a noob . It must count for something.

 

Visual style may be shit, but combat so far looks fucking amazing - its a perfect recreation of IE combat, like everybody wanted PoE to be. Just watching these videos gives me an erection.

 

It definitely does... just nothing good.

 

How is butthurting a mod not an incline?

 

You're off your rocker mate. Those arrows are fucking disgusting and the character models literally just idle and sway around when they're not striking. It looks mind numbingly slow. Maybe it was the conversion to 3D from 2D, but either way it looks like its failed. Perhaps it's the video, perhaps it plays better than it look, but judging from what's been shown? It looks bad.

 

You know that in IE there were filler animation.... aka just attack animation without actual roll. Turn them off and behold low level party will be just standing there like retards.

 

Ofc I know that, but it's important that they were there. A big part of combat is how it feels, and one of the benefits of RTwP over TB is the fluidity that comes with RT combat. This game looks like it has none of that fluidity. This seems like a silly discussion however, as the game isn't released., and it's hard to base my feelings on anything concrete without actually playing the game yet.

 

I like how the game looks visually. The gore looks cool and apparently they plan on adding slow mo for attacks of opportunity which is dope. RTwP there a shit ton of things you can do to improve the quality of the game using graphics and animations alone. The knockdown animation in dragon age origins was well done. Pillars 2 has some cool spell affects.

 

Well, after certain game ( we all know what game it is, part I) Kingmaker's videos looked less chaotic and more fluid I ques.

 

Maybe i'm just too traumatised by PoE's abomination of a combat system, but i would say that reduced fluidity is an advantage in this case as it helps to separate combat into perceivable individual actions that you can actually keep track of.

 

I just don't know why they thought turning another turn-based system into a RtwP one was a good idea. How did they handle rounds? Are they 6 seconds like in the IE games?

 

Because RTwP D&D like games sell better than turn based ones. And yes, it seems combat rounds work similar to IE games.

 

Exactly the opposite. D:OS 1 and 2 sold more than PoE 1 and 2.

 

A bit of an outlier. Compare Pillars to Tides of Numenera, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun, and such.

Of course Pillars itself is an outlier if you look at Tyranny and Deadfire, so what we have left is that BG and NWN did significantly better than the Gold Box games, and ToEE. I guess there's no easy way to predict it anymore.

 

D:OS 1 and D:OS 2 are not D&D like games.. maybe read carefully before posting?!

 

A negative review of Baldurs Gate from one of the developers

 

What's the name of this ass clown? Who wrote this?

 

There is a good reason we play Baldur's Gate Reloaded mod for Neverwinter Nights2.

 

Can't wait to see this dev's garbage ass game.
