Pathfinder kingmaker makes loading times MUCH harsher by being programmed with less skill than self-educated, and by including statistic file that's 2x-3x larger than game data.

Full disclosure, never actually completed Kingmaker even though I love it.
If you're gonna make a fucking game where you've got a party traveling all around the fucking enormous world map, entering and exiting locations, fucking entering exiting...
OPTIMIZE THE FUCKING LOAD TIMES YOU MONGOLOID RUSSIAN JEWS
I just, I needed to let that out.
Also my PC is shit.

If you don't use the area cleaner mod you're fucked no matter what your PC is.

Also if load times are crap on high end PCs what are they going to be like a PS4 or Xbawks?

We should have nuked US in 1983. Thus the world would have been vastly different, and no one would be able to brag about strange devices USSR kids had no idea about.

1983? No, only way to win that Wargame was not to play.

No one says about winiing. It's about changing the world.

You need to learn more about the warriors of the Divine Wind and less about fat white boys who were murdered by Việt Cộng.

You need to appreciate the power of Ferris Fucking Buehler.

That definitely helps, but the Cleaner mod does speed up load times quite a bit. I just last week finally ordered an SSD, so I played KM without one, and Cleaner seemed like it made a big difference late-game.

You young whippersnappers just don't understand. We still had bomb shelters and fallout drills and shit. If faggots like Lann had been running things we'd have all been dead and who knew if they were?

Brezhnev looked like Biden.

Charlie was fine. It was Robert fucking McNamara who cost me my dad. He was cut like a rock and it didn't matter a whit when you're fighting your own dipshit government.

That's why Thaos is such a weak villain
Maybe it's because he's the protagonist.

Well, he's a bad villain protagonist then, since it's not mutually exclusive thing. Sadly, he's bad from any perspective.

By the way, that's a very badly exploited trope and thinking about it makes me even sadder at what Tyranny turned out to be. I don't remember many games where we have villains as protagonists... Maybe Overlord? GTA would technically qualify, but I don't know. If I remember correctly, in some Wizardry game you control an evil sorcerer or something. Obviously I'm not counting games here where you can be bad just for the lolz, because it's usually something so cartoonish and meaningless that it's not worth commenting on.

What changes with Definitive edition?

I renders all other editions non-definitive so everyone needs to play it again but this time with the mod that dude living in his mom's basement whipped up while watching his favorite anime and eating cheez puffs.

Just kidding I don't know what he was eating.

I just ran into this.
Can you imagine if Angry Joe did the review?
Also read the comments, they're gold.

A question about the time limits in this game: The time limits that are defined are alright, no problems there. However, it appears there are sometimes unseen time limits on quest - I did the Temple of the Elk quest before going after Tartuccio at Old Sycamore, now my journal claims that he has achieved his goal or whatever. Is there any way to know when a quest has an unseen time limit?
To be specific, I encountered the Technic League and managed to track that Kalannah woman to an encampment. However, I need to rest up and sell my gear, not to mention gain a level because I barely managed to defeat that ambush to begin with. Can I do that or will the quest fail in x amount of time?

That's not a time limit, it's an either/or branch.

NPCs will generally pretty bluntly state you should hurry the fuck up about some stuff, even if no timer is displayed in the journal, and generally it's not for the sake of dramatic tension.
Just pay attention and you should be fine.
