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

[Yosharian]

Since I always forget, and there is no Detect Alignment in this game, and there are no enemies of that type in reach for me now, did anyone pay attention if Fey in the game are Chaotic or Evil? Maybe through combat log.

Some Pathfinder fey are evil, some are neutral. Should be similar in this game.

Honestly my biggest complaint so far is the lack of arcane caster companions

Octavia only starts with one level of rogue, you can give her 18 more levels of wizard if you’d prefer that to arcane trickster.

Has anyone found a regular phylactery of positive channeling? (not the lesser one)

They will add more companions through DLC and I'm sure a pure caster will be included.

 

[Yosharian]

I don't know what the solution to this could be, though. PoE2 literally puts danger levels on locations, which absolutely prevents this kind of thing but hurts exploration and the feeling of discovery. PK doesn't do that, so you can be surprised and find cool stuff, but also I'm not sure ironman mode is actually possible without lots of pre-known information. I suppose the real best way to avoid party wipes might be to allow fleeing such situations but it's not really doable in this system.

You can turn off those level/danger indicators. I did.

 

[Whisper]

Why do you need merc companions so badly?

On Hard and - especially - Unfair, yes.

You can do Unfair with story characters but with insane amount of reloads (probably).

Anyone know what abilities you can use in dialogue? Just found a dialogue that let me use dispel magic.

I think I got one either as loot or a quest reward for one of the threads of the swamp-hag's backyard curse murder-mystery.

DC 43 chest

"Nearly impossible (40) || Track a squad of orcs across hard ground after 24 hours of rainfall (Survival)"

DC40 isn't too unusual for a lock. Any good lock (DC30) with Arcane Lock on it (+10) or a superior lock (DC40, could have Arcane Lock for DC50) as the cost (235 GP) is trivial compared to any non-expendable magic item (most basic items are 1000GP. Another reason Rogue is a shit class in PF: There's no good reason for any modern lock protecting something of serious value to be anything less because the cost of non-magic items is so low.) and a challenge even for a level 20 rogue with skill focus, magiclockpicks, buffs and good attributes to pick. Big question is where the other 3 came from.

I believe it's only dispel magic that turns up but it turns up a lot.

You can get it as a quest reward from Wilbur (or Wilbor?) - in the swamp witch map, kill the Will o Wisps in the Well and give him the coins.

Also seems everyone have Valeria in their parties while in hub my game this bitch joined forces with evil faggots despite that i saved her soldier...What the fuck?

You can get her back later.

While reassuring, I don't think that's the point at all. It's a pretty serious bug, especially since it has both mechanical and narrative repercussions.

It's not a bug. She is an ex-paladin and not a force of goodness anymore; all she cares about is the law. She will not follow your character (instead you get the dwarf) if you steal the soldier salaries (there us even a dialogue from Linzi warning you about this action). Saving the soldiers (or telling her to leg it) determines whether you get Linzi or the undead elf.

There is a quest called "Nature of the beast" or something that told me to find the wizard living in a hut... well I went there after a bit and trolls and bandits were raging so I murdered them all, then I went into a building and the wizard was fighting off some trolls and then was like hey thanks go get muh whip and then that's it... the quest log still says I need to meet the wizard

is different one or is shit bugged? hope it won't impact the quest of dealing with the trolls since i havent saved since the end of chapter 1

It won't stop you finish chapter 2. In my save he gets bashed into pieces by the trolls before I can even talk to him, so I just give his whip to Octavia.

I had the same thing, you can briefly get him to reappear after you find the whip, but you can't turn it in and he then disappears from the game. Which is rather annoying as he is one of the potential advisors, although he can get killed by the trolls anyway.

 

[Jenkem]

thanks I might wait and see if they address this in the coming patch.. I don't mind that I missed part of the quest because of my choices or circumstances whatever, I just don't want to have shit affected because of it

 

[L'Montes]

He's an advisor?! I saved him, but I never found the whip when I went to the hideout later.... Huh.

Almost 100% sure this is incorrect. Your starting companions depend on the answers you give to Lady Aldori. One has a lawful/chaotic choice, the other has a good/evil choice. Don’t think it’s any more complicated than that.

the whip is bugged

I found it in my first playthrough but it's nowhere to be found in my second, people are having the same issue on the steam forums

Spoiler

He has something with Linzi

Are you saying

Spoiler

Avellone cucked players with their waifu of choice?

That's really something.

Spoiler

He wants to kill her. He also destroyed all her papers.

Hm, you are right, I forgot my sorceress tried to lie her way out of stealing, failed and still got saddled with Valerie. Either way it's only Linzi who actually cares about the soldiers.

Edit: I do have to complain about the weather, though. Every rain looks like the end of times, lol

Restarted earlier today with better optimized magus. Is there a good reason to spare that fuckface from the technic league when you rescue your two love-struck companions?

32 AC in combat with level 1 character from start.

This game is so fun!

 

[Ruchy]

Are monk levels worth it as a wildshape druid? do the bonuses to ac and unarmed strikes actually make it through?

 

[Yosharian]

At level 1? How?

 

[Jaedar]

The munchkin in me must know, what are the special buildings alignments get?
Lawful: bulletin board, +2 event resolution in region
Evil: stockades, +1 event resolution in region
Good: ?
Chaotic: ?

Do neutrals get one?

32 AC in combat with level 1 character from start.

This game is so fun!

How did you pull that off?

 

[Yosharian]

Natural attacks (from Wildshaping) are not the same as Unarmed Strikes.

Monk isn't that good for Druid.

Not sure if it's in this game but in PnP you can wear Ironwood Full Plate and enchant it to give you the bonus even when you're Wildshaped.
