Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Cyberarmy]

I like most of them UI changes.
Game starts brutal, how refreshing. Got my ass handed to me a lot. Killed everything in first dungeon but the water elemental. Nope, don't know how to defeat it.
Also about the colourful puzzle,

Spoiler

Anyone managed the find the combination? No way I'm brute forcing it.

Edit: Also dat background selection at character creation <3 This game'll sure have some nice combos.

Not a fan of paladins. Why not just take an extra cleric, give it some armor, and call it a paladin?

Because Pathfinder's Paladin has a lot of unique features that make for completely different playstyles from a mere Cleric.

Just three class features are enough to justify the addition of a Paladin to your group:
- he adds Charisma to all saving throws, making him incredibly resilient;
- Smite Evil completely wrecks encounters against evil bosses or a single strong enemy: it adds your Charisma to all attack rolls and your level to damage rolls, it adds your Charisma to your AC, and it lets you completely ignore damage reduction (all that for the entire encounter);
- Divine Bond allows you to play with any weapon you want (and in WotR will probably allow you to have some sort of animal companion).

On top of that, the class is full of more "minor" features, but these three are enough to make the character amazing.

"Mere" Cleric.

Cleric's spells are strong and some domain powers are incredibly powerful (my favorite one is the -almost constant at high levels- +2 to attack rolls, AC, and skill checks of the Nobility domain), but with the Paladin you can solo without problems almost every single boss and mini-boss in the entire game, even without optimizing your character (you can obtain a similar result with a Cleric, but you need to think and handle your character: with a Paladin you click on Smite Evil and the encounter is over). Just pump everything into Strength and Charisma, equip the magic items that the game throws at you, and you are done.

How do the Backgrounds work, is it like in PF 2e, or is it changed some how to adapt it to PF 1e?

 

[Desiderius]

PAL is pretty clutch when almost all the bad guys are Evil Outsiders, especially once you get Crusader’s Edge.

 

[Delterius]

Can someone check what Witch patrons made it in? Pls. Kthx.

No clue mate, I just met Pathfinder with Kingmaker on PC.
I picked the one (Acolayte) making my persuasion checks to use my wisdom instead of charisma.

Can someone check what Witch patrons made it in? Pls. Kthx.

-Agility
-Ancestors
-Deception
-Devotion
-Elements
-Healing
-Insanity
-Mercy
-Shadow
-Strength

And 2 without names, though one of them is something related to shapeshifting. Other looks like protective themed.

Even if classes are shit the nice thing about DnD games they allows for whatever build you want mostly cause there not much tactics involved. All you need is high enough attack bonus or spells to win encounters.

Games like underrail while also having "builds" the games is tactical where it may not be good idea to punch those robots despite your guy being a unarmed build.

June 2021 as release date and they are already releasing alpha of act 3 AND this will be shorter game by about 1/6th. You think they will be able to make it ? without the game being Kingmaker tier of bugs ?

They still can't release patches for Kingmaker without adding new bugs, so nope!

There were 2 articles in the Kickstarter campaign for WotR that gave me some hope. On the other hand, they completely destroyed any hope in bug-free Kingmaker.

My P:K is running fine.

The first alpha WotR was better than P:K at release.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

I started playing at the PF:KM right at EE release. The only bug I have experienced was one of the kineticist twins had a bugged toolbar for a few weeks. Oh, and the confusion spell not working correctly. Not much to cry about.

I think the whole tactical layer makes it unlikely, but we'll see. The alpha has been pretty solid for me so far.

Is there a list of requirements for Mythic Paths? Obviously, I'm interested mostly in lich.

Alpha is $15, for people playing, is it worth it?

 

[Joseph Stalin]

- 2021 - Release Date - Flooded with bugs; missing content; completely broken.
+ 6 months - Critical bugs fixed, some minor bugs fixed + mods fixing more of the bugs.
+ 12 months - The majority of bugs fixed; most DLC released; mods fixed most problems.
+ 18 months - The vast majority of bugs fixed; all DLC released; Ultimate Edition + additional content; mods stabilise the game.

So, I'll get to play it in 2023. Great.

Depends how badly you want to play it now instead of waiting. It's fun, hasn't had a ton of bugs for me, and is a pretty sizeable chunk of the game.

I am a backer, and I am not going to play it. JFYI.

It took them about 9 months to fix almost every bug in KM and have the Enhanced Edition out. Your timeline is off comrade, though I expected nothing better from the man who came up with the five year plans.

Just remember to buy the game day 1 and keep a copy of that version for when they nerf everything to appease those people with some nerfs and reworking. It won't be the first few patches but it will happen.

Have they nerfed something like that in Kingmaker? I know that they nerfed a couple of random encounters and added some consumable/advice to deal with the infamous spider swarms, but I can't think of any serious nerf.

I mean, at least they aren't Larian with their idiotic "let's nerf everything to the ground in the enhanced edition" policy. They can't even stick to their vision for their game, because they have none. Passionless fucks.

The bear fight in chapter 1. Spiders in chapter 1. and the wolves after the prologue. But if this version is as hard as people are claiming, those people will be out in droves.

:Wink:

 

[Desiderius]

They took out the Blind in the Technic League fight and made Blind expire after four days because too many people couldn't figure out how to remove it (didn't know they had it) and were playing the whole game Blind.

They also removed the swarms from the path of Bokken's Quest, the whole point of which was how stupid it was too be wasting time hooking up a junkie when you had a Barony to secure.

So both cases undermining the whole purpose of those two questlines.

It's hard to miss.

 

[Ghulgothas]

Got a hairs-breadth into the Alpha before stopping myself, just long enough to behold that gloriously janked in-engine cutscene. I don’t want to spoil my first impression too much.
