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

They are talking about the names of the difficulty levels, and while they indicate there's rules implementation, they nowhere near confirm it. If it were so, why not just say it?

Fingers crossed, but I'm not convinced. If it does have full implementation, I am backing the shit outta this.

 

I and others asked them about it in the comments, they confirmed it will be close to tabletop. They confirmed spellcasting like TT (including metamagic - in the GIF you can see quickened spell use) and resting rules. Also they mentioned game having skills like Perception that help with finding more loot and stuff.

 

Yeah it seems to be confirmed. Still a liiiittle sceptical about "to be as close to" statement, but we're nearly there.

 

NWN 2 was closer to 3.5 than BG was to AD&D. If it is anything between those two games it will be OK.

I read somewhere it already has a Power Attack togglable and stuff. Also it already has a combat log and in the future it will be similar to PoE with extra info you get by mousing over results you see in it.

 

Agreed. I just want a firm, no-bullshit declaration that that will be the case before I'm 100% convinced.

 

The Troll fighting scene is an off turner for me, but the other things look quite good. To be honest i trust currently the russians more than the americans to deliver a good cRPG and i will order the collectors edition on amazon, if it is out.

 

the blood spurting out of nowhere and lacj of coherent feedback in attacks makes it super jarring and uncomfortable to look at

 

I managed to get some cool info out of them:

 

I wonder if modding tools will be on the table (stretch goals), maybe some multiplayer? YEAH I KNOW! I WANT ANOTHER NWN! SHUT UP

 

No, i hope.

 

I'm in for 22 USD. I know deep down CRPGs only hit me because they love me.

 

It says that guys from OwlHat worked on Silent Storm and Evil Islands. If it is strue then they are much better rpg-company than obsidian/inixle could ever hope to be. I am backing it after further investigation on the degree of their involvement in Silent Storm and Evil Islands. I'll keep you updated.

 

wait, they worked on silent storm?

 

Tbh i really like the art style, it reminds me a bit of Diablo 3. Nobody will admict it, but it's better going cartoonish and colorful than going realistic and totally dull and flat

 

40% reached. Nice.

 

I do think bright colors and contrast are very helpful for making things pop off the screen and making everything visually interesting. I still prefer realism over cartoonishness when it comes to actual people and places, but I think there's a nice middle ground with a well-realized, non-cartoony world, where the colors and contrast are turned up to something other than a 'realistic' portrayal.

 

Yeah, it seems that they are former Nival Interactive employees - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-kingmaker/creator_bio

 

The dev-descriptions on the web-page have an endearing awkwardness to them:



At least we know dese guys are some hueg nerds

 

Was willig to donate a few hundred dollars to this. But RTwP? Fuck off.

WHY???

 

Cos its superior. Do you claim to know better than a guy who knows everything?

 

Meh. Pledged $75. Fuck it.

 

To be honest Evil Islands was realtime and had pause (but it wasn't a typical rtwp like bg where you still had turns which happened in realtime) and it is 100% superior to any western rpg.

 

Because in the last couple of years we have had Divinity, W2,new Torment, Underail, AOD, dungeon rats, 3 shadowrun games, legends of eisenwald, 2 expedition games (vikings, conquistadors), 2 blackguard games. Dead state, 2 banner saga games. I m sure there is more. Is that now enough of turn based combat for you???
