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

[Jack Of Owls]

I like that P:KM can remain challenging throughout when so many other RPGs become cake after you reach higher levels. Just when you start thinking you're overpowered the game throws some surprises at you. I went into that fight with the 4 adamantium golems thinking, "This is gonna sad. We're level 14. Those golems are probably lvl 7 at best. It's not a main questline so Valerie can probably take 'em solo with her cold iron shortsword and one arm tied behind her back." It took me FIVE fucking attempts with 6 party members and elemental summons to beat them. But now I have an adamantium golem factory producing for me. Only wish there was a mod to let you actually make the golems yourself.

One more thing: is there a workaround for that annoying bug in 1.3.0 where you get 7 party members instead of the 6 you're suppose to get when you leave your capital?

Eldritch Arkana got cross-blooded sorcerers! Oh my!

That only happens once. Go back to your town, and then exit with only one guy. Then go back into town square and exit with 6 that you want.

Playing this with a half-orc thug in "challenging" difficulty and having quite a blast. The game has its flaws but remains true to old-school P&P influences and that is refreshing. Also the game being legitimaly difficult in an age of popamole.

I just wish that mobs would be more aggressive and attack you earlier, or react better when they start hearing someone starting to cast a spell.

That was one thing I loved about the Eye of the Beholder II module for NWN. Enemies would hear you making a commotion down the hall and would come charging out of the room to attack you. I remembered it so well because it was something I had practically never seen before in an RPG, though shooters like Doom of course had AI that were activated by sound..

Did you know that some of the Owlcat Games team members did the voiceover for some of the monsters in the game? That's right, when you fight a mandragora, a troll or some other monsters, you may hear one of the game designers or narrative designers roar!
In this video, our narrative designer, community manager, and dev stream host Arseniy Deriglazov is giving his voice to goblins!

 

[Jack Of Owls]

Speaking of owlcats and owlbears in Pathfinder Kingmaker, what a great little moment when you enter the tavern and see

Spoiler

covering almost the entire floor the owlbear skin rug of that MASSIVE owlbear that attacks your capital at the end of Chapter 3

 

[Daidre]

Elina also mentions that she changed tavern's name for interior addition but new one was not showing because of bug. Curiosity even made me to report it)

Spoiler

Fixed in 1.3. It is Beer Mug > Bear Rug

So Russians are monsters in the game.. hmm..

Does anybody know if Lem the Iconic Bard was supposed to be in this game? It looks like he is in some of the official game art, e.g. the halfling at the top of the main artwork. .

 

[Perkel]

Who is Lem ?

 

[Simple Simon]

Who is Lem ?

Here's a link to his description on the Pathfinder wiki. If you look just above Tristian's crossbow in the picture, you'll see the halfling I'm talking about. He looks a lot like Lem.

 

[rashiakas]

lem is a gnome

 

[Simple Simon]

Nah bro, Lem is a halfling. You might be thinking of Lini, the Druid Iconic. She's a gnome. There's a picture of them fighting together on her page.

 

[rashiakas]

that dude looks like a gnome, I dont care what the statblock says.

Given that everyone else in the picture is a companion or the MC, I'm guessing the 'halfling bard' at the top is supposed to be Linzi.

 

[Simple Simon]

Well, maybe, but the gender and hair color are different. The clothing is also pretty similar to Lem's. My speculation is that the halfling bard companion was originally Lem but Paizo did not want him to be

Spoiler

trapped in a book at the end of the story.

That being said, they were okay with Linxia

Spoiler

possibly being killed off

so I could be way off.

 

[Delterius]

lovely game, so far my best experience with all the games that people recommend for the 'genuine tabletop feeling'

still, just realized that half your companions seem to have ~30+ attribute points out of the game and the temptation to just give myself 2 points of DEX is overwhelming

hell, i've been told companion quests give them even more attributes

 

[Yosharian]

Yes but they aren't optimized at all so those 30 points aren't such a big deal

In fact even with 30 points they still pretty much suck

hey now this is about justice and honor and rationalizing cheating making the baron of clearwater, florida someone worthy of the title 'leader'

plus, I think jaethal, nok nok and the orc bruv are fine

 

[Daidre]

Do not want to spoil but there is a way to get permanent + to stats in the game for MC.

 

[Efe]

theres a masterpiece potion with permanent + to all stats.
theres a blood sacrifice with minor buffs (not primary stat)

 

[purpleblob]

Spoiler

Are you referring to Bokken's masterpiece potion? I never ended up getting that one :/

 

[Yosharian]

Subtract the orc and we're in agreement

theres a masterpiece potion with permanent + to all stats.
theres a blood sacrifice with minor buffs (not primary stat)

The fucking randomness of the artifact system is infuriating
