Unfortunately, the only real literature criticism can be provided by strong totalitarian regimes, like in the USSR in 1946. If offending writers cannot be stripped of all sources of income, or sent to concentration camps, or shot on site then it's just pointless exchange of opinions.

Character concepts aside, I can see some uses for Wisdom to Persuasion (Acolyte) / +2 to Initiative (Pickpocket) / Free Improved Unarmed Strike (Martial Disciple). Although, depending on solo skill checks Persuasion as Class Skill can be C tier. Mendevia Orphan is definitely A.

Arcane Scholar seems remarkably unhelpful to a Wizard. It works for 5e because you don't automatically gain skill proficiency with all class skils, but PF doesn't work like that.

For my first character I already decided am trying a arcane Hellknight signifier, so I'll likely go with a sorcerer with a gladiator or mercenary background to get the free light armor professiancy, this could allow me to get the prestige class earlier.

It ends up making sense tbh. Its just redundant. As a Wizard you are already an 'arcane scholar'. If all you did in your life is arcane scholaring, then you don't have a wide ranging set of skills. And the argument for specialization makes no sense either. Two Wizards who start at level 1, reach level 20 via the same adventury exploits should be pretty much equal in power regardless if one of them went to prep school during his teens.

Any word on whether this time there will be actual towns/villages/cities instead of a single "capital" the size of Gullykin? Say what you want about Pillars of Eternity - at least they had proper settlements, and Nehekata is still the single best realised city in any RPG.
Nope, Having finished alpha there is only one city per chapter. The rest are big or small dungeons not much different than kingmaker in that aspect. In the AP there is another city but that act is not in the game yet.

Will NPCs react to all of these backgrounds?:shredder:
Or like in Arcanum it's statistics only?

The reactivity in Kingmaker was non-existent. So take your guess.
Finished alpha. Haven't seen any reactions pertaining to my race,gender or background.

Tbf this kind of non-critical fluff is probably going to be added much later in the pipeline. Some are already in the game (Tiefling being more prominent I think?).

Regarding the plot of KM vs PoE, 1 point that people tend to overlook is the forward momentum of the plot. See, video games that are relatively plot driven have one similarity with movie or books, namely pacing and momentum. Now its been a longtime since PoE and it didn't leave much of mark to me so I might miss stuff but IMO:

In Kingmaker more often than not, the game keeps throwing the protagonist (the PC and its barony) from one frying pan to another with a bigger and bigger stake. When the game has downtime (Bloom to Vordakai for example), the game plot clearly suffers from it altho the downtime is mechanically needed to finish all the side stuff. The game kinda failed to make Pitax into a strong enough adversary and KM suffers from it too in the Pitax chapter. Outside of them, the game keep pushing its plot forward at a brisk pace, making interest in the overall plot remains high. There is always a sense of momentum forward from one chapter to another.

PoE on the other hand lose momentum as soon as you get to the first village with the tree with hanging people. You start getting a vision and then....... what? You start doing some random ass shit while walking to the next city for the next big plot point. PoE also suffers from having the plot being seemingly separated into B plot and C plot waaay too early. Within 30 minutes of the game, you already have 2 "plots" the Thaos cult and you becoming a Watcher. And then another 10 minutes when you get to the village you get the C plot of "hollowborn." While all the plot does converge later, IMO having these 3 plots way earlier makes the game narrative lose focus and momentum. Honestly being a Watcher is probably a big enough motivation to propels forward instead of having all this this stuff way too early.

Backgrounds are veddy nice for picking up that missing weapon prof (ranged wep for Druid, say) or class skill (like Perception on Cleric) that was always annoying in P:K.

Fellow crusaders,

This crazy year is coming to its end, and we’re getting closer to Beta. Both events are exceptionally long-awaited, but we have even more good news for you! While you sharpen your Christmas tree and decorate your weapons...or vice versa, we bring gifts and fulfill our promises!

Remember we had a pack of “social” goals back then during the Kickstarter campaign? Well, while we are waiting for the game’s release, why don’t we lighten things up, starting with some minor yet juicy goods? The first of the social goals was the official wallpaper pack, and we are now ready to share!

Get your new wallpaper here: https://wrath.owlcatgames.com/media

Our Wrath of the Righteous website was updated. Check it out - it became 100% cooler! But most importantly - we added a big gallery with concepts, art, and official wallpapers. Those packs are available for absolutely everyone! Whether you were a Kickstarter backer, joined the crusade by the preorder, or simply a fan of the game waiting for the game’s release. Hope you will enjoy it!

Oh, also an important reminder! If you pledged on one of those Kickstarter tiers: “Create an NPC face”, “Create a wondrous item”, “Design a monument”, “Design a familiar”, “Design an NPC”, or “Part of the Team” - the time to shine has come! Please contact us by email team@owlcatgames.com ASAP. We need you to continue with the development.
