Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

By the way is it just me or is Tristian still bugged and has no access to his second domain power?

 

Mine also has only one domain power.

 

A lot of the domain powers are still bugged. I'm running a cleric with the Nobility domain and he has the 8th level power, it just doesn't do anything. Shame because it should be basically inspire courage + competence.

 

Nice, my paladin went to talk to Bartholomew after troll thing was done. It is when you can ask him to become your advisor. But I didn't and I had Octavia with me. So she gets on his nerves and he attacks the party. And that meant free loot and no loss of alignment
And he has a nice +4 Int headband and +3 to dodge dagger.
Even good guys can get some nice things in this game

 

Took me 5th playthrough to figure out that the guy that sends you on the quest to Candlemere

stealing that thingy from the cyclops lich

I find it cool how you meet people early in the game and they have a bigger role later

like the gnome from Inconsequential Debates companion quest

Not that many games bother with that.

 

One small thing that really made me smile was getting a copy of Jubilost’s magazine. Most games might have Jubilost mention writing a review about your kingdom. But to actually be given the readable article later? It was neat.

 

guys i think i screwed up my latest save.

so the kid goes missing in troll trouble.

I am supposed to investigate the swamp witch; but I already killed her earlier and a tribe of thickskin lizards too while murderhoboing earlier for xp.

can I continue the quest? can it be fixed anyway? i am open to using cheat menu/save editing etc.

 

Speak with Dead?
Raise Dead?
Go to www.youaresofucked.com?

 

try visiting the actual location of the kid, will have to spoil it for you

the lizard village south of the lake of candlemere

 

No idea. But try entering the shaman's hut in the lizard village. Maybe the boy will spawn there?

Ninja'd!

 

Somehow I managed to miss the first interaction with Bartholomew where you stumble into his lab and talk to him about the situation with dimwit. Instead I went to the Lone House and trolls were already attacking it. I don't think this really changes anything, except missing out on a dialogue option to shift alignment, but it was bizarre to walk into what is essentially part 2 of his character arc and have zero context for anything that was happening. I also ran into some random encounters which I had never seen before, despite playing up to and through this part of the game for my third time (restart-itis). This whole thing is making the powergamer in me very nervous.

 

VV is a romance. A chaste one, since most vampires have no interest in sex.

 

The kid behind the monitor isn't a vampire. Hence, why we have Twilight.

 

nice touch, the giant owlbear that you killed in the story became a great rug for the local tavern

 

i had read that if you dont tell him about trolls fire immunity in first visit he is weaker/dies in troll attack.

 

Or if gets killed during the fight. You have rush the trolls that attack him.

 

that portrait, i thought its furry at first

 

Just a slutty elf.

 

Yeah it's a pain in the ass but you can save him by killing the trolls quick enough and also healing him during combat

 

If you cast fear on the trolls its easy to save bart. With their saving throws they always get scared.

 

Or you could just lower their damage output to 0.2 during the battle. I must say that kingmaker have the second best difficulty setting after thief.

 

I try not to mess with a game's difficulty during gameplay, especially if it's the sort of difficulty that's just causing a couple of reloads and wasting five minutes. If I reduced the damage to 0.2 for every encounter like that, the game would pretty much be devoid of any challenge.

Speaking of challenge, I just did the Valerie duel and won it for the first time. I did a little bit of questing before hand to reach level 7 (I think I'd done it at level 6 the other two times) and rushed over there. Usual routine of stacking every conceivable buff before the battle, but with a fun difference this time. Valerie is specced as a Kinetic Knight, so I was able to grease the area behind the Paladin, meaning he spent about 3/4 of the fight on his arse. Kinetic Knight levels are worth it for this experience alone. Being able to murder him after he surrendered was also very cool. Felt like a KOTOR 2 companion moment. Thanks for all the +2 gear, dickhead.

 

I also had her as KK, but I reached level where I picked 2nd element and it was touch attack water one. She completely destroyed that paladin's ass as his touch AC is basically non existent.

 

new beta patch:

I underlined the important parts. The last one I asked for on their forums last week, I doubt it is random they just decided to implement it now
I asked for a lot more improvements for kingdom management, I guess this one was easiest to implement.

I hope they implement ability to buy BP directly from kingdom management screen, that one would speed up kingdom management the most.

EDIT: I checked out the patch, the fix to Octavia is not working in my game but I noticed some things working that were not in last version that are not in the patch.
