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

[Lacrymas]

A couple of weeks ago I finally decided to buy Varnhold's Lot. Now, after all this time, I can look at this while starting the game:

Ew, Steam.

As a very random aside, what criteria/criterion are you using to group your games? It looks like they are either grouped by when you purchased them or when you last played them. It seems so arbitrary and its bothering me.

 

[NJClaw]

It's the default "sort by recent activity", which sorts your games according to the last time you either played, bought, or downloaded them.

How many hours did that take? I'm at 473 hours @ 43 achievements.

Some achievements aren't something you can just casually come by while playing: you have to actively hunt for them. I mean, it's impossible to get stuff like Slayer of Bears, Sinmarket's Best Customer, and Survivor without specifically trying to unlock them. I played this game FAR MORE than I care to admit, but probably only 1.000 of those hours were useful for achievements purposes, most of them wasted on trying to get Iron King on Unfair because I can't read.

 

[Alienman]

You gonna repeat that for the sequel?

Sadly, my current job no longer allows me to spend 10 hours playing videogames each day, so I probably won't be able to play WotR as much as I'd like. The power creep introduced by mythic paths also puts me off a little bit and I'm not sure I will enjoy their impact on the game. But, if the game is at least half as fun as Kingmaker, I will definitely play it at least once for each path.

Let him get one of those 12-hrs jobs. 2-4 days off in a row, I couldn't imagine my life of a gamer with a normal 9-5 work and a bleh weekend.

Update 2.1.7b – May 27, 2021
In this minor update we are fixing the issues reported after the release of 2.1.7:

Miscellaneous

• Some premium edition and DLC items did not appear in the game. Resolution: fixed.
  
• Sometimes incorrect messages about effect immunity appeared in the log. Resolution: fixed.

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.

Important:
If your mods do not function correctly after 2.1.7, note that the previous version 2.1.5d is available through Steam beta interface as you wait for the mod creators to update their mods.

Damn I'v totally missed that one. Fortunately the save games are loadable. And yes, actually the strange messages about immunities are gone. I haven't noticed until this message here.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Fortunately the save games are loadable.

Owlcat patches usually do not break save files compatibility, unless it is something major, like "Definitive Edition". In all the other cases the only reason for save file problems is modding.

So either don't use mods, or keep the old version until the modders update their mods to the latest patch. That is what Owlcat Games write in all the patch notes.

Just going back to this game after a 2 months break and now I'm a bit lost. Before pausing I had just finished the Bloom and now I feel like a retired adventurer. I thought maybe I could use the leisure time to improve my kingdom stats... So what's best : trying to raise a couple of those to the max or have all of them reaching level 3. Also, which stats are suppposed to be the most important ?

up arcane till you get teleport circles.
If you are doing curse research early your divine will suffer a lot.
you might want to boost relations and espionage thru buildings to make up for their late start.

Anyone using Weapon of the Chosen and Improved Weapon of the Chosen? I am baffled why with the latter option "on" the first hit out of five still has got a -10 damage substraction, but all four other hits don't. I mean, it's no big deal, 10 dmg out of 100-150, but it's strange. Is it a bug or do I understand something incorrectly?

Spoiler

Using "Good alignment of Improved Weapon of the Chosen" against Redcap Trickster, Neutral Evil, DR 10 Cold Iron

And here you can see the combat log with only one attack out of five in one turn reduced - screenshot.

Edit - So, apparently it's something entirely different. The damage output shows the same strange incoherence even without the Improved Weapon of the Chosen. I went meticulously over feats - nothing states that I am to overcome any DR without IWOTC. The weapon itself is +1 only. Meh :]

 

[Efe]

clustered shots?

 

[Nikanuur]

clustered shots?

Damn... once again the more heads the more perception. You are right of course, thanks!
Though now I don't understand that overcoming DR in IWOTC at all.

 

[Nikanuur]

By the way, I suppose that, very likely, this has been a topic here some time ago. But for the sheer chance it hasn't been

 

[Dwarvophile]

Damn there are some epic battles i n this game !

Spoiler

The Tiger lords took me by surprise ! I was like "what ? the whole tribe now ? Well, not the hardest battle, but I liked this turn of events

And... Nok Nok just wished me an happy birtday. Memorable.

This is a good RPG and it really grew on me. At first the shit music, average writing and graphics really bothered me. But I stayed in for the pathfinder ruleset and turn based mode and it finally brought me to some interesting quests. I even came to like some of the characters. This is refreshing, it can be grave without being pathetic and funny without being silly (hello Larian). And even if they are on a good path with the management of party rest, I hope it's been improved in the next game.

Pathetic.

Inns next to town hall give +7 Relations each, and Relations unlocks Aviaries from Wildcards DLC.

IWOTC

Wat means?

 

[Nano]

It seems Holic's had enough. Just completely disabled comments and bug reports. His advice if you come across a bug?

you are likely out of luck. You could try to look for help at kingmaker/wotr discord server though.

 

[Dwarvophile]

Just realized the scythe Hand of damnation doesn't heal Jaethal on crit. Disapointed. Now Grim Final is the only satisfying item I found in terms of sinergy with her special traits, but it's a 1H weapon and I like to have her in second line.
