Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Owlcat's next Pathfinder RPG - now in ALPHA

That's true only if you ignore the ending: she doesn't get tamed and she doesn't want that intimacy (or, at least, there's something she wants more). She takes what she wants and abandons you. Even better, if you don't give her what she wants from you, she leaves you before the most crucial fight of your adventure.

 

The only good thing in BG Jaheira/Aerie/Viconia hyper-love-triangle is that they can start heavily arguing anytime anywhere, even while you are in the middle of a terrifying and disgusting dungeon, with dismembered kobolds under their feets.

That, and the fact you can tell them to shut the fuck up.

 

Cheer up, Hap, Lawful Dispel Magic stuff may end up the strongest in the end. Couldn't resist that free Mirror Image and +3 to all skills for first time through.

People raised on Pushkin are always going to have a soft spot for scoundrels.

 

NJClaw, Jaheira starts like an archetype of a strong woman, then you handle her correctly, and she ends up following your lead (within some restrictions). I 'd say there are a lot of things to appreciate in her arc.

In a sense, she is a lot like Kingmaker companions.

 

They could not be laying it on more thick when it comes to Camellia's duplicity and depravity. Having the potential Traitor Companion be nakedly untrustworthy sounds like a fun change from the sympathetic likes of Yoshimo and Tristian. All her SadoCannibal babble is great too, feels like they're channeling the excessively vilified stereotype of tabletop roleplaying held by fundamentalists during the Satanic Panic. It's some Jack Chick/Dark Dungeons level shit, reads great. Do we know what companion belongs to which writer yet?.

Damn, and here I thought I was decided on Swarm for my path.

 

If you've read your Juvenal, you understand that the original Romance* was already there on any imaginable depravity.

No small reason why Rome fell to men (and women) made of sterner stuff.

* - Moscow being the third Rome in the Russian imagination they're not unaware of any of this.

 

Just FYI, the anons have been datamining the alpha and have posted companion dialogues and some of the mythic feats/abilities. I recommend not reading the thread unless you want to get spoiled, but here it is: https://boards.4channel.org/vg/thread/290747993.

 

Okay so like uh, companions are very DEX based.... I'm literally forced to use STR... for the sake of D I V E R S I T Y

 

Jaheira is your aunt and her husband's corpse wasn't even cold yet.

 

Jesus, after reading some of this I start to wonder if letting the demons win isn't the better option. I really don't want to know what happens if Camilla becomes mythic.

 

Sounds like SJW punishment for wanting a hot chick companion for a change.

 

"No, Khalid, what have they done to you?! I will never forgive what happened, I will never forget you... but this bhaalspawn is pretty tempting... ahah, just kidding... unless?"

 

How TNO + Deionarra is even Romance?
She is already dead and he never loved her.

 

Exactly.

 

One-sided love is the kind that RPG nerds can most relate to.

 

As I said, it is very realistic.

 

It's not the one-sided love, but the way he toyed with her emotions. He did it consciously, but there's also cases where one side unconsciously does it. And that kind of unrequited love is very intense, it leaves you an emotional wreck after you realize it was all "fake". I went through this in my last relationship almost 2 years ago and it still affects me in minute ways.

 

The practical incarnation did not love her, but what about the last incarnation? Maybe it is not that straightforward.

 

Since video footage is only thing that's verboten, I figure it's safe to post caps of the 4 new PC portraits the Alpha has.

Elf/Dhampir Magus-Fighter-Something-or-Other.

Tim, Monk Grandmaster.

 

Aren't dhampirs their own race? Or you can choose different body types like godlike in PoE?

 

You select Dhampir subraces from different vampire races, but their official design is just inconsistent some have normal ears other pointed ears.

 

They are, but I figure the ambiguous nature of the pale skin sets them up to be either-or. Dhampirs, or any of the other new races, aren't in the Alpha proper.

 

Socialist Subrealism

Tim’s ok. Might give him a spin for a Sensei run someday. This cast of misfits could stand to have their Courage Inspired and Skin Embarkened.

 

That Dhampir portrait looks great. I know what I'm rolling with unless something else really blows me away.

 

You can load the (outstanding) Portraits from Nexus P:K mod right into your WotR Portrait folder now. It’s right next to your P:K Portrait folder.
