“Irrespective of my choices”

The DLC was bugged to hell and back at launch and didn’t correctly import for most people.

The DLCs of this game is generally very disappointing. It's one of the few games that I actually regret buying a season pass.

greatest game ever plebs, don't question why it's still so buggy despite being Enhanced™, buy the DLC and don't question when we'll get around to actually finishing the game

 

[hell bovine]

you cant get your protag from varnhold into main campaign?

Depending on the choices, apparently there are four (?) outcomes. In the evil one

Spoiler

the general becomes a mimic and you get to fight them in the main campaign.

Haven't checked it myself, though, since I just went through the dlc without importing.

Just did the barbarian “army” fight. Kinda disappointing that this huge barbarian army threat is just a handful of dudes in game. Could have done a storybook event for the fight with some nice artwork instead, with tactical choices and shit like that. I love the game overall, but one problem this game seems to have is with scale. Nothing ever feels as big as it should.

Retarded like giving them class u dont like. Right.

Instead of cheating, you can also stop being a wuss and accept companions as one of the strategic and rp challenges of the game and building your party. Want romance with your waifu? Play with waifu. Want powah? Use mercenaries.
But stop blaming devs for your autism and inability to cope with companions not being super perfect how you envision them in your meta.

Actually that's not at all what I meant. Sure people are going to abuse it that way I personally do not. For me it's not really about the "class I do not like." or powa but the group makeup, and companions I want to use in relation to the type of character I want to make as the main. I took the aforementioned Elf waifu, but left her as a Scythe inquisitor actually.
I'm not really a meta player at all, so how I do it I really don't consider it cheating. But I also don't want to set the game to a potato difficulty setting. You have options, so no point bitching about it was my only point. I play games like this to relax after work, If I am looking for a real challenge I'll go play a game against another human being.

So does the kingdom stats actually has any effect? If it gets too low you get a game over, but if I keeps it high what does it do? Nothing? Because I can't remember there was even anything relate to it, not even a dialogue option.

Why not activate godmode then?

They affect effectiveness or artisans, there are some extra quests, and there are minimum 2, maybe 3 ending slides per every X stat depending on direction you taken them. Endgame amount of days depends on them, but it's so generous that eh.

Mostly you do it for text C&C and achivo.

I think developers should have played King of Dragon Pass before creating whole system.

I’m finally back to civilization. Feels good to have WiFi.

Starting a new run with TB mod.

Is my favorite RPG of this decade by far, but have two critiques towards the game.

1 - Sneak attack should't be simplified, should be more pnp like.
2 - The range of spells should be the same of pnp.

Look how awful on image bellow is to cast an spell that has an pnp like Area of Effect, but an far limited range compared to pnp. The pnp spell range > 400 feet + 40 / CL http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/v/volcanic-storm/

 

[Shadenuat]

the aoe should be smaller across all spells, range u can sling spells higher and sneak should be capped at 1 sneak per full attack (and no more than 1 ray)

 

[Thonius]

Yep range for AOE makes spells like Stone Call ( one that give diff terrain) to be a very shitty choice.

IMO the range should be greater. Like on PnP. Spell sniper is pretty funny to be played. About sneak attack, i agree. I don't know if is corrected, but hellfire ray + sneak attack was so ridiculous broken that could one shot even one shot an jabberwock.

Yep range for AOE makes spells like Stone Call ( one that give diff terrain) to be a very shitty choice.

And Horrid Wilting, took an very long time for me to get tier 8 spells and i barely could use...

 

[Shadenuat]

Buy every Reach Metamagic rod u see

 

[Cryomancer]

Buy every Extend Metamagic rod u see

So, you need to spend a lot of money, to make some spells usable and with an small fraction of PnP range? I love PK but what they did with ranges and sneak attack sucks.

 

[Shadenuat]

yup

I bitched about it manytimes on steam and F11 it moment I've seen size/range of high level spells.

Thank god clerics Firestorm is not friendly fire at least.

I only din't complained on steam because i got banned. An guy opened an thread asking if the game will have a lot of SJW things, and i just said an single line joke "Considering that the developer is Russian is very unlikely that will have SJW cr** on this game" And lets be honest. Eastern European devs generally make better games than western ones. Not only RPG's(P:K > DOS2 and PoE2). From FPS too. Escape from Tarkov/Metro/STALKER > Children's Online Daycare/Apex/Fortnite and don't care much about complains like "the lack of afro polish on witcher"

1 - Sneak attack should't be simplified, should be more pnp like.

The AI would not be competent enough to use them.

Haven't you been spitroasted by rogues in NWN? Existing AI is already smart enough to use it. Whether the devs were competent enough to programme it in is another story.

Wonder what to make for the party in Varnhold's Lot. Decided on Paladin 2/Sorcerer 3/Dragon Disciple but I've got no idea what to do for the rest since I've got two fixed allies.

FYI, Maegar Varn kinda sucks. I gave him a bow and kept him as far away from the front line as possible.
I hate when the story doesn't match the gameplay, he should have been a competent fighter or something, he's praised a few times in the game as being a good fighter(Is it Armag that mentions him? Maybe another important barbarian?)

I thought he worked pretty well as a melee rogue, but yes, it was a real curveball to me that he was a straight rogue. I was expecting Fighter, too, or possibly Rogue/Fighter.

 

[Luckmann]

you cant get your protag from varnhold into main campaign?

That wouldn't even make any sense.

The DLCs of this game is generally very disappointing. It's one of the few games that I actually regret buying a season pass.

They're cheap, add a lot of content, and are well integrated into the game; even the tiefling CNPC is added to the game almost seamlessly, and if it'd been there from the start I likely wouldn't even have reacted to anything being off. They're not full expansions (sadly), but in terms of DLCs, they are absolutely top-notch in today's market in general, but especially when compared to DLCs for other CRPGs.

explain how it doesnt make sense

Play Varnhold's Lot.

i did, just didnt play main campaign attached to it yet and it seemed to me charname would be recoverable as companion

You expected your completely custom PC from a stand-alone portion of the game to be recoverable and recruitable as a full CNPC in the main campaign?
