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

[Yosharian]

That is not in the game Yosharian

Ah, my bad

 

[ga♥]

Ghost armor had its use indeed. Only way to save my mage before they nerfed the Siroket encounter, since it was two-hit to death by the erynnes in 0.000001 sec.

Nah. They nerfed some of the late game encounters as well. Why? I have no fucking idea....

I wonder how Fromsoft managed to resist the pressure for nerfing Sekiro or adding a difficulty selector.

That's why Initiative is my top priority.

That fight is the teacher of that lesson like no other.

Change in plans - found a class I hadn't tested yet:

Psychokineticist

Melee MC was bad fit with double Tiger Val anyway, so playthrough starting over. MC Archaeologist playthrough on hold at lvl 9 to finish with different party comp replacing Val with a ranged toon/maybe Jub.

New MC is Garuda-blooded Aasimar with 20 WIS to start, going for record high WIS. Air (Electric) for first element to get Celerity train rolling. Planning to pick up Water second going toward Cloud Infusion.

Any advice welcome.

I am actually not familiar with psychokineticist. How does that class work?

Kineticist using WIS instead of CON as main stat (for DCs/extra damage and the like). Stumbled on it because that guy was using Motherless which gets a bonus to WIS.

Instead of Overflow giving you size boosts to physical stats like base class/Knight, for Psycho it makes your mental stats higher, up to +6/+4/+2. Downside being it nukes WILL and WIS skills for each point of burn you have. Overflow still gives +1 to hit/+2 dam per point of burn as well.

So you crank up the burn by spamming Celerity (Haste) starting at lvl six, and it makes your to hit/damage/mental stats go up.

I really do wonder how much easier the game was made in patches, since I never touched Pathfinder before and am completely steamrolling "challenging" difficulty for the most part. Whenever I have to Google something I see endless bitching about how hard the game was on normal at launch, let alone challenging. Not trying to give myself a BJ or anything, I've got nothing on you guys, but it is interesting.

First, I am sure all patch notes are available somewhere. Probably on GOG in their sticky thread.

Second, I remember at least 3 changes at the start of the game (before the Stag Lord): there were some wolves between the prologue and Oleg's trading outpost - they were changed to thylacines which supposed to be easier; the cave with berries for Bokken restructured in such a way that it is possible to get the berries and complete the quest without fighting spider swarms; during the first fight with Technic League there was the mage who was casting Blindness - now he does not cast this spell.

Yes, with the exception of a few encounters the game is not that difficult if you have two braincells to rub together. Unfortunately the average human is a fucking moron. And the average gamer is too prideful to accept turning the difficulty down to easy without taking a hit to his precious ego.

Fuck, I didn't know about that. Filtered by a spell when you can buy the cure at Oleg's...

And they also nerfed the Treant-like Bear at Erastil's temple, changed its DR or something.

Fixed this for ya.

So, which is the mythical human race that is smarter on average? The Africans who have still to make a proper state without fucking it up themselves, the Middle Eastern Jihadis, the Indians who shit on the streets, or the Chinese who started a pandemic by eating bats?

Most of the late game encouters were nerfed. Including the final battle (Chap VII).
Because the same retards disabled who are now masturbating in the BG3 thread found the game too difficult.

Neither is true.

They've just been conditioned to expect faceroll. The period of adjustment will be painful but salutary.

Afaik it was more a bugfix than straightforward nerf. Siroket was changing phases mmo-style at 25/50/70% HP, when she spawned adds. But after getting hit so hard that she skipped "hp-step/phase" she often bugged out to become permanently invincible. So combat often seemed more difficult than it truly was.

It was a bugfix AND a nerf. They didn't just fix the immortality bug, they also nerfed the encounter directly or indirectly (changing your party placement at the start for example).

It's a combination of factors. Being new to the system, and game breaking bugs. Back when this game released some users were not all that familiar with the Pathfinder rule set. Indeed users were completely confounded by things such as Attack Bonus, Armor Class, and Saving Throws. Yet, the worst offender was poor build making. People would come up with the most idiotic builds, then get punished for it later in the game.

The thing that bothers me the most. Is that most of the people who complained about the game, no longer play it. While I who has been playing since release, have to suffer all of these changes.

I just found Ekundayo, first playthrough, I like to wait for good games to get really done. Isn't it some kind of *Racist* that the only black NPC speaks broken English?

It is racist to assume that every black is an African-American. Some of them are just African.

How do I make my own Kingmaker mods? I want to make an item that's in the game's code but isn't actually in the game, purchaseable at one of the vendors. Seems like a simple mod, but I don't know where to begin.

It's racist to assume that every black person is an African. Some are Basketball-Americans.
