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

[Mexi]

I didn't know that

Well, imagine Starcraft II on the controller. On the other hand, controllers work great for fightings.

When I was a kid, I played Warzone 2100 on Playstation 1. Was fun as all hell. I never played Starcraft, but is it a RTS game?

It is. i have no idea how to implement precise spatial control with a controller considering high speed of Starcraft play.

You ever play Warzone 2100 on the Playstation? I barely remember it, but it's an RTS game. I had a lot of fun. That is the first and only RTS game I've ever played on a console.

 

[LannTheStupid]

As a Soviet child, I bought my first ever console in 2013.

Aborted my 2nd run. I started out as LE but it just didn't feel right. LE-options are often just unnecessarily rude, and I started drifting to LN (which my 1st run was based on). I also ended up with too much overlap between advisors and companions from my 1st run (since I was still playing a "law & order" type, and didn't want to go full diabolical evil).

Restarting as a CN character now. Decided to base him on the amoral witcher Gaetan from TW3 (basically the same as Berengar from TW1). I'll play him as a ruthless bounty hunter type, and govern loosely based on the River Freedoms.

I figure I'll make him a Slayer (19) Vivisectionist (1), Strength-based with the Menacing combat style. Usually don't like "dipping into" other classes, but in this case it suits the character concept (Mutagens).

Disliked many of the companions from my 1st run (Linzi, Ekundayo, Valerie, Tristian). Really looking forward to using Jubilost , Jaethal, Regongar, and possibly Nok-Nok. Will build Jaethal as a tank this time, so I won't have to deal with Valerie again or hire a merc.

This game...

You spelled "(Octavia, Octavia, Octavia, Octavia)" wrong

Well, since I won't be playing a mage on my 2nd run I still need her, and I didn't want to demoralize myself. But yeah, she's annoying mostly for the same reason Linzi is annoying (naive bleeding heart type) and especially due to some of her voice lines ("but they just RUIN THE HAIR!").

I understand how Linzi could annoy people, on paper she annoys me too but in practice I found her bubbly optimism quite charming.
Octavia's just a basic ho and lacks the same charm.

Regongar gets his orc ass killed all the time with his retarded racial ability.

 

[LannTheStupid]

That's why Linzi is disgusting.

Octavia's just a basic ho

That's why she's the best!

Having a personality > not having a personality.
Linzi has an actual personality.
To paraphrase Bernie, all Octavia know is be bisexual, eat hot chip, and lie.

 

[Erikkolai]

I'm contemplating getting the respec mod, and respeccing Jubilost as a wizard. That way I could add another new companion, instead of reusing Octavia.

Jubilost didn't fit into my 1st run party, but I did have him on my council and completed his companion quests. As far as I remember, there weren't any references to him being an alchemist, and I don't remember anything that might conflict with him being a wizard.

Am I wrong? Would there be anything jarring about Jubilost as a wizard (in terms of story/RP)? He definitely has the intelligence and attitude for it.

 

[LannTheStupid]

To paraphrase Bernie

A person who supports communism without serving his time in GULAG is a hack and a crook. Thank you for understanding.

Erikkolai Demoting Alchemist to Wizard is a very bad idea. IMHO.

No, I don't think it will be too jarring. Might be the odd reference somewhere, but nothing too bad

 

[Erikkolai]

Thanks. I figure I'll go with the racist approach and make him an illusionist (staying true to the gnome stereotype). There's better arcane schools, but this feels right.

The more I think of Jubilost as an illusionist, the more I like it. Alchemists are no doubt powerful, but having a pure arcane caster who isn't a ho seems more essential.

 

[Yosharian]

Yeah Alchemist is especially good if you abuse that powerful NA bonus.

That said Grenadier is exceptionally powerful, if short-lived

 

[LannTheStupid]

Erikkolai which difficulty are you playing on?

Hard now. 1st run was on Challenging.

A friendly reminder: while we deeply admire the contribution that mod authors make to our game, we would like you to remember that running custom modifications can lead to unexpected bugs and crashes. Unfortunately, if you encounter any issues while playing with mods, our team will not be able to help you. If this happens, please report these issues to the mod's original creator. Also, remember that after each game update, there is a high probability of previously installed mods not functioning properly. If you wish to play with mods anyway, disabling auto-updates might prevent your save files from becoming corrupted.

What the fuck is wrong with Lightning Bolt, its going extremely out of its way to hit just my party members lmao (not beta).

Fuck Acid Spray does the same thing.

 

[Pink Eye]

Silent Wolf encounter is actually pretty fun in the early game. Here is a video showcasing that encounter. Enjoy!

This game...

Starting my second run now. I know how you feel. First run was CN Arcane Trickster, but quickly drifted LN as the CN choices were amusing, but as sensible. My new LG game feels like it will go the opposite way. My first party was kind of what you're going for now. Harrim, Jaethal, Jubilost, Twins, Nok-Nok. I originally wanted to have Regonogar in there instead of the twins, but he was obnoxiously gay. I can't say that I care for Harrim in the least, and Jaethal has been a disappointment. Awesome advisor--but just a bored edgy teenager while adventuring. It's almost like the person who wrote her kingdom/advisor dialogues was a different (more talented) person. The undead status was actually more of a hindrance than a benefit most of the game. The Twins, Jubilost, and Nok-Nok were all good though.

My 2nd LG playthrough will be the more "conventional" party of Linzi, Valerie, Tristian, Ekundayo, and Octavia. If I can't tolerate Octavia, will go with Jubilost. Arcane spell casters are not necessary in PFKM. Melee is pretty supreme here.
