KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Israfael]

Also jewbilost wrote a shitty article about me, but I can't get rid of him because he is the only treasurer and his skill is so high I'm already at Economy IV.

The Stag Lord is Dead!!

Spoiler

Took me a couple of TPW before realizing I could keep the giant bear locked up in his cage

Also, looted a +1 Agile Rapier, now I can use the +5 dex of my magus as damage bonus

That fucking Owlbear certainly takes his time helping you.

 

[Fedora Master]

Did they leave the moderation of the Steam forums to Paizo employees?

Wow. "don't trust him". There are screen shots in that thread and its about numbers. *Sigh* the left has truly driven some people insane. Even if their accusation were true, which it could be since its the codex, they are also irrelevant to the matter at hand. As a software developer I would ban anyone who told me not to look at numbers because they don't like the views of the person reporting numbers.

It was a joke, friend. Calm down.

So what's the Kredible Kodex Konsensus?

Fundamentals are extremely solid. Needs polishing and QoL features. Pozz levels are low to medium.

Give it all! Maybe finally I won't need to search for portraits every now and then.

If you're interested, I can share some sci-fi wallpapers: https://imgur.com/a/lrTtew7

This would be quite an undertaking, especially if I go looking for the author of each one, because I have very few uploaded. Most are on my hard drive. But I've always been putting off categorizing them, maybe it's time to start.

You have some great stuff in that gallery btw!

Here is the stuff I collected for barbairans. Not all of it is suitable for portraits, according to my standards at least - I insist on detailed enough faces, which should preferrably give out something unique in terms of character, and should at least be looking at the camera. But they are all pretty high res, so you can crop yourself some nice portraits.

I think you could put them all, even unsorted, in a zip file and upload on some dropbox. Although I can understand if you want to categorize them first. Sometimes I like to do similar things, too.

I can also share some subtle sexy photos of women: https://imgur.com/a/lu2hM

Personally I play RPGs mostly with female wizard characters. Although Kingmaker will be an exception because I can't stand a women holding an absurdly huge shield, so I will make a fighter with an ordinary shield to replace her. And for the record, I don't care about SJWs but I do care about logic, plausibility and coherency. Women just aren't that strong (and we have Val's picture). In reality very few men could use that kind of shield. If only she was using some magic or there was some enchantment involved to make her stronger, it could actually make sense and I'd be fine with it. But now it's too ridiculous as it is.

She kind of bugged me too, mostly because it looks dumb as hell.

Massive Tower shields /huge steel shields as portrayed in Pathfinder were never a thing, anyway.
The largest ones available you just let hang with shield/arm close to the body mostly.

I'll never understand why RPG systems are so obsessed with sword and (huge) board on a fully plate-armored guy in a world with lots of fully plate armored guys anyway.
It's a lot like the way game designers design npc party member stats. Bizarre and retarded.
Even better in Dark Souls 2/3 where half the people/monsters you meet have plate armor, a metal tower shield in one hand AND a halberd or greatsword in their other hand or something. Peak fantasy, I guess.




Artstyle sucks in general imo. "Exaggerated Vanilla" is how I'd describe it.
Game would be much more atmospheric with some kind of interesting theme to its art. But maybe that's just how Pathfinder is? Never come into contact with the source material before.

If I get Jaethal out of Kobold jail and ask her to join my party she walks off and says she has to do something... is she in my party back at oleg's or do I have to do something else?

It was the same bug for me,you get the npc at the start of the second chapter. Nothing really lost,outside of powerful companion.

So what's the Kredible Kodex Konsensus?

There's like 100 pages in this thread , people discussing build tactics and various stuff, if that's still not enough to make your own opinion, if that doesnt print INCLINE IN BIG BOLD RED LETTERS IN YOUR BRAIN then its really not a game for you.

dev (Fasolka) on XP:

Hello! The numbers that you see (22 exp etc) are the numbers for the one character, not the full party.
Exp is never divided for 12 members. In general, switching off the shared exp option is beneficial if you plan to run the game solo or with reduced number of party members (let's say 4 or 3). When this option is turned off, only active party members gain the exp and it's divided equally among them (except for exp that you gain for skill checks).
If you turn the option on, all exp you gain will be devided in 6 parts and all companions, no matter active or left at the capital, will get there share.

Originally posted by Gregorovitch:
I think what Fasolka means is that with shared XP turned on all XP earned is divided by 6 and then parcelled out to each of your characters, whether in party or back home, however many there are, they still get 1/6th of it (so in fact if you had 12 chars the total XP doled out would be double the actual amount earned)

If this is right it means everyone always gets the same XP as they would if you just had six characters total and trhey were all in your party.

So it always benificial (in fact necessary) to keep shared XP on unless you are running solo or with only a few chars (i.e.. <6) and get rid of the rest. In this case switching it off is beneficial becasue if, say, you have four chars in your party they all get 1/4 of the XP earned instead of the standard 1/6th.

This way players who want to use all the story NPCs can do so without any of them falling behind in levels and those that want to play solo etc get the full benenfit of the faster level ups.

dev again

Thank you! Shame on me, you've explained everything much better than I did

Can you imagine what would happen to such a person in the middle ages if they had said something like what Linzi is saying to a fucking king?

Pathfinder doesn't even try to obscure that it's "modern times but in a fantasy past." D&D's followed suit as well.

D&D has always been something like a Wild West setting with modern sensibilities, just with funny clothes and some magic thrown in. There was never any semblance to the Middle Ages, except for some of the window dressing.

I don't know if it is a bug, she says she'd join but then says she has shit to do and then walks away... it must be how it works with whichever character is in there as a consequence of not picking them in the temple

You should see what drivel the journo is spouting,he would have been send to the mind while still in his dad's ballsack!

 

[fantadomat]

Game has been out for days, has stayed near the top of Steam sales and still not a single Journo Review on Metacritic. What a travesty.

Both from Owlcat/Paizo for not marketing properly and from the gamejournos for sitting on their asses!

a) It would have been a mistake to release review codes early because they would have been hit for bugs

b) journalists should actually try to complete this thing, then write their reviews. AFAIK literally no one has actually completed it yet, why would you expect a review now?

Here's the problem with this logic:

There were multiple BT4 reviews and not a single one mentioned the bug that made it impossible to actually complete the game.

Lets be honest here,there is no fucking way we will see journo's review about this game. For that they must be able to finish at least the tutorial are.......and even fucking coders are bragging about how they can't finish it!

I don't really remember it that much,it is possible. Still you get it in the next chapter.

This game is so much incline! Fargo is crying on the shower now.

 

[toro]

Q1. Someone knows which is the best rage stance for the Barbarian?

Q2. Do you know if I can sell the gems and stones? I already sold a stash of books weighting 45 lb.

 

[Ezeekiel]

Q1. Someone knows which is the best rage stance for the Barbarian?

You should probably @ Cael or something.

He is the game's manual



Once upon a time he was the TOEE integrated wiki/manual, then he developed sentience.

ITS GOOD​

 

[jungl]

Thing is none of the enemies stats make sense which makes casting a lot of spells useless. Fighting a nixie with a +7 fortitude bonus from con wtf.

when you are in the shop interface there is a button you can press that puts all the valuable items/junk up for sale

it never includes things that are useful elsewhere like books or anything.. I remember someone posting not to get rid of books dunno about gems and stones, but if you use that button it won't sell things that will be used later iirc

Take out the enemy wizard before he can enlarge his bros. Have your wizard and Linzi do crowd control.

Excerpt from page 12 to 14

 

[Chippy]

The game is that good that i don't even find time to check the glorious codex,have only this thread opened for the loading time and the rest could fuck off until i finish it.

you should buy it then to support the slav incline

THe only incline left it seems.

It's not exactly incline, it's more like a rocky mountain road somewhere in the Urals.

As illustrated, I expect it just needs a practical vehicle and some skills to navigate until the road become a bit better maintained then

What crowd control? everyone is lvl2 and also I don't have Linzi.
