Teleport with damage was finally working when I tested it on last day.

Staff Sling is now Halfling Martial Wep, and there is a ridonkulous one on sale in Drezen:

That one's fine, the one in Drezen is great.

The way you level up your generals reminds me of Disciples. Ironically Owlcat has made me more nostalgic for Disciples, than the actual announcement for the new Disciples game.

Also... I don't think I can get the under 75 rests achievements on my first run. This shit is intense as is. Woof~!

That sounds pretty cool to me. Is the crusader stuff really as bad as some around here have made it out to be? I was kind of looking forward to that part.

I think Kingmaker also had better alignment choices, at least for evil characters. So far a lot of the evil choices are a little too over-the-top and cartoonish. There's no social maneuvering to it. If there's an Evil option it'll likely be either an outright attack or something like "I'LL SKULLFUCK YOUR DEAD MOTHER." You'd think they'd want to make this a lot more fleshed out since you can go down Mythic paths like Lich or Devil. The choices aren't like, "well that's a pretty dickhead thing to do, but I see the point of it" but more of, "what an asshole."
This was my great disappointment with the demon path when I tried it in the beta. They went for always angry, all the time which is fine but I hoped that a tragic hero type would also be possible. Maybe devil will fill that niche (though I doubt it), but fuck being a cosmic merchant.

I doubt they will nail any nuance on Lawful-Evil / Devil whatsoever. But that being said... demon sort of should be what an asshole. They are pure distilled chaotic evil and rage filled at all times. They would take great joy in causing suffering for the lulz at every possible turn even if there is no material gain from doing so. Devils are much more chill / complex by comparison.

So far it is manageable. And clearly not the focus of the game. Just something to make you feel like an actual commander.

N.B.: I'm very slow and meticulous when I play. I read every line. And I carefully move my pieces. And I've just started Chapter 2.
As a consequence, there might be surprises later on. I'll post as my opinion evolves.

I’m really enjoying it. It’s come a long way. Nothing fancy but pretty solid at this point. Decent amount of strategic depth.

Same thing people did with P:K. Sucked because they hated it and hated it because they sucked.

In what chapter did Arue's quest crash for you? Chapter 3 or 4?

3. 4 is in the abyss.

Yep.

In some games, I just can't do evil things. In Gothic 3, I never finished a Beliar side run cuz killing water mages which helped me and I liked then since G1 and even installed returning to play as one...

In Kingmaker, even when I play as evil, I avoid doing evil things to my own party. In this game, I just don't care, in fact enjoy doing evil things to most companions.

Yes, a undead dragon. But I reloaded my save and will play without the lich transformation, In fact, I will probably kill the guy who wanna make me a lich.
You've been doing almost nothing but fapping to the Lich path for the past several months. What changed?

Still in chpt 1. I would dump Lann if he wasn't such a fucking destroyer. He's easily my least favorite companion. I think my first merc buy will be a fighter who can stand on the front line and just cleave his way through shit.

I like lich MP due the spells, SLA and other stuff that you can do but the lich transformation itself is very lackluster.

  • Undeads should get the undead traits. Immunity to critical, no CON score(...), you don't get it
  • The "benefits" of undeath which transformation gives, you already gain by being a dhampir(like healing from neg energy)
  • I treasure immersion too much and having a pure bone guy using cruoromancer's blood infusion breaks my suspension of disbelief. Is awful. Creatures without blood(incorporeal, liches, etc) should't be able to use this class feature.
  • The portrait for Lich is amazing but the model itself isn't.
  • I will not spoil what happens after you get the transformation, but think a little. IF you own a lich's phylactery, you can demand anything for him in exchange for it.
  • I always prefered other types of undeads. I always loved more vampires over liches, shadows over skeletons and so on.
Ideally, instead of a Lich path, we should have a "undead path", with vampires, shadow, mummies and liches to chose.

So after creating my character, I gotta say that I kinda miss rolling for stats. Right now, my virgin arcanist has trouble lifting his crossbow with his 7 strength, while chad bhaalspawn wizard could even handle a spare ankheg shell with his godly body.

Where is Ramien at? They changed his alpha location and the market is now backwards so now I can’t find him even though I’ve backtracked.

Same place, in front of the Temple of Desna. It's just I think he's bugged to always go invis, so you constantly have to pass a perception check to see him. Or just run into him.

btw why people play with companions if they don't like them? Just hire mercenaries?
not enough cash yet
Yeah, making you pay 4500 per merc is just stupid. What's the gameplay rational for this? It's not like you can ever have more than a set amount of characters in your party. I think the devs just want to punish players for not picking their shitty companions.
You are asking them to charge into the middle of almost lost war against the demon horde. No, seriously, nigger, you are so petty and cheap. No merc worth his price would deal with you anyway.

Man, I'm sure it fucking is with some of demon commanders having 1-strike spell stack killing thunder bolts. Or game breaking bug of Banner of Defence in Chapter 3 which tanks your morale to -100 in no time. Or the fact they got shitton feedback and didn't include Crusade difficulty slider in and made it retarded from pretty good build of Beta 2. Mhm.

Is there any reason to play a fighter over a paladin?
I'm playing 2h fighter and it's gud. No mumbo-jumbo, just good old cold steel greatsword and she just 1-2 everything that moves. Demons, cultists, swarms - just stains on the floor.
