I sure hope it murders BG in quality of programming. Loading times for example. Or being able to minimize the game and actually return to it later.

Why do all events that take place at 5 p.m CEST need to happen on Tuesdays, the one day I work until 4.30 p.m and thus can neither look it up at work nor at home? I hope Swen will stall for a bit until I'm home.

Yeah, sounds like someone is an SSDlet.

This might very well be the single worst post out of all the 22,261 you made on this god-forsaken forum.

D:OS 2 on a shitty low-end pc from 6 years ago runs better than Kingmaker on an high-end pc.

Yeah, sounds like someone is an SSDlet.

D:OS 2 without an SSD still runs better than Kingmaker with one.

Second only to the inevitable sequel, BG4 - set Pathfinder World.

Personally, I can't wait for BG5: A Hideo Kojima Game.

I went straight to Elex after playing Kingmaker and it feels like fucking magic. It takes less time to teleport from one town to another and load an entire new location than for Kingmaker to pull-up kingdom management menu. And I never thought a PB game will feel like a programming masterpiece compared to anything else.

I don't understand that. D:OS 2 has bigger maps than Kingmaker. How could that be then.

UNITY is the answer.

That happens when you are not an amateur and you know what the fuck you are doing while designing and developing your product.

PfK is still the better game, so...

Yes, but frequent loading, jumping screens takes away the immersion.

I can live with that. An unpolished gem is a gem nonetheless.

Should have used some of those design skills to design actually good gameplay.

I blame that on the underlying system on which the games were built. Pathfinder will always be a hundred million times better than whatever shit Larian can came up with on their own.

Kingmaker is one of my favorite games ever, but it's still inferior to D:OS 2 in many aspects (with the clear exception of the system, which incidentally is the most important thing). Everyone likes to bash Larian for their writing, but Owlcat didn't do anything better. Half the dialogues in Kingmaker are giant useless lore-dumps you can't possibly care about.

We all know you only played Underrail and Kingmaker in your entire life, there's no way you know anything about D:OS 2 gameplay.

You're right. D:OS2 was so bland and boring I forgot most of it. I did get to the point where you repair that ship and arrive to that city or whatever.
You know what I do remember vividly? Magic and physical armor.

At least it's played straight. And you are exaggerating, PfK is nowhere near the verboseness (and pseudo-originality) of PoE.

Why can't anyone cut lore-dumps into small parts you can specifically ask about, if you're really interested in them?

They didn't have Infinitron on the dev team.

So 10 AM PT = 19:00 CET +1 (18:00 CET), right?

I swear to God, I'm sure Kingmaker is more verbose than PoE (at least that's how it felt to me), with the aggravation that usually you know when you are facing a useless piece of dialogue: every time that you upgrade one of your Kingdom stat, you have to sit through your advisor throwing at you a long exposition of a problem that, 99% of the times, won't affect your kingdom in any sensible way. After the third or fourth time, it gets so boring that you just skip everything and pick a decision at random (or just pick the decision with the best outcome, completely ignoring the "background" of the problem).

A lot of quests are also plagued by horrendous writing and you have to cringe through them just to get the rewards. I mean, most artisans' quests are an insult to the human intellect.

Keep lore dumps to item descriptions and nothing more
