Lmao the balls of these devs to highlight the buff mod. Thanks for doing our job for us, suckers!

Very surprised that Woljit got a mod all to himself. I never thought he was a very popular character. He always seemed kind of bland and forgettable.

Just wait until you hear about Bethesda Softworks. It's going to blow your mind.

I feel like most of the companions in this game are bland in the extreme, so much so it ends up feeling like a cheap trick to have a few of the characters to have solid arcs that subvert expectations.

Seelah is the most bland companion I've ever had forced on me in a game, ever. Paladins who aren't zealots aren't interesting, they're boring. She's just a generic fighter that gets excited about some deity like a fucking nerd gets excited about seeing william shatner.

For a game about crusading against demons there's not much crusading. I was expecting Warhammer with legions of pikemen supported by warrior priests against a tide of horrors. What I got were a bunch of quirky millennials who never picked up whatever Pathfinder's version of a bible is.
The only character that actually felt like he was on a crusade was Regil.

I found myself liking the evil companions much better than the good alined ones. Cam, Regil and Wenduag are the best in my opinion with Sosiel and Seelah being my least favorite. Cam is pretty one note but it’s in away that’s so much different then companions in most games that I was ok with it. I still think Kingmaker had the better companions though.

Regill is great and based, I liked Ember, Arueshalae is not bad either, Daeran was good as well, Woljif is a bit bland basic rogue-character, but not as bad as Lann, Seelah and Soysiel. Greybor is pretty toned down but it fits his character. Nenio is by far the worst companion in almost any crpg I have ever played.

Seelah being the way she is probably because of Paizo.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Nenio is a sterling example of shitty millennial writing. An annoying git who keeps talking dumb bullshit that should have been smote already. All those demon lords and liches kept saying they want to waste her but they never do it because of plot armour.
If she were a literal trickster god I'd understand that, but she's just some fox with a tik tok user's idea of what Austism should look like.

Seeing 80 buffs applied with the Bubbles mod I shudder to think there are rainman autismos applying them manually.

Yeah it rapidly gets out of hand

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Does it even work that way on the PnP version? Like, do players spend something like an hour applying their buffs?

 

[scytheavatar]

Think most players in TT either hand their DMs a list of prebuff spells they want to cast before every combat if they have the preparation time, or their DMs tell them they can't prebuff. Unless it is something that make senses like casting protection from fire before fighting a dragon.

Can anyone explain to me how the Call for Reserves decree works? In the description it writes that an army of 327 strength will appear, when I actually execute the decree, that number lowered to 16. Is this a bug or is there some weird Owlcat logic behind it?

Sosiel

Wish his brother was a properly fleshed out companion.

 

[santino27]

Wish he and his brother had both been left on the cutting room floor.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I want my PTSD'd blackguard companion, fam.

You take your Don Lemon priest and you like it.

You get in a rhythm.

Adjusting buff sequences takes awhile either way.

It scales by number of troops lost. Let's you come back from getting wiped.

Using the brother to dunk on/create an appropriate storyline for 3.5 style multiclassing was pretty interesting.

Mostly a clusterfuck but could be made reasonably decent by lvl 20 by taking all Barb levels and Cleave/two-hander feats with Crippling Blows.

The trooning is the problem (which is itself at least half a troll). Hero with the 'tism who keeps blundering into fourth wall would have appealed to a lot of people. Dungeon of Nahollaback/Dungeons of Dredmor/Munchkin crowd.

As it is Kitsune Illusionist Scroll Savant does great job filling caster role until it gets too good (even for Unfair) with Weird. Rainbow Pattern/Phatasmal Web (with Nauseate fixed)/Phantasmal Putrefaction are great midgame spells.

Similarly Seelah has no real character arc but the challenge of getting there with her as a tank is a great mini-game. Reward being getting Mark of Justice and Fear Immunity for team.
