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

[HeatEXTEND]

I've noticed that some choose-your-own-adventure encounters take into account whether or not you have ropes, torches and other utility items. The game just doesn't tell you. Take the Waterlogged Lowland for example.

You're telling me you don't bring a rope everywhere all the time? For shame

 

[Luckmann]

I do like that the game allows you to qualify for feats with stat-boosting items. The NWN games didn't allow that, I don't recall if TOEE did.

Which I am still not sure if a bug or a feature.

Sounds like a bug - it certainly isn't RAW at all.

EDIT: WAIT! It actually is RAW! I'll be damned: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2q3zg?Using-stat-boosting-items-to-qualify-for-feats

Do note that this only partially applies to increases in Intelligence - all iintelligence-granting items also gives a corresponding bonus to some skill, meaning that you should for example not be gaining extra skill points from intelligence (but you can still use it to qualify for feats and shit). Not sure how it works in PF:K, considering that the headbands of intelligence actually doesn't have a skill associated with them in the way they should have, according to RAW.

First fucking thing I did. If you find a piece of rope in an RPG, you hold onto it for dear life.

 

[bataille]

you gave her the wrong shield.

I've not seen any even slightly magical tower shields so far.

e: You can't leave the Troll fortress if you got in peacefully due to all the enemies outside. You can't rest INSIDE the fortress due to lack of rations.

There is a +1 tower shield with 10 fire resistance for sale in your capital for 8000 or so. Although, to be frank, Valerie is a crutch. You don't need to tank most of the time; and when you do, things will just rip her apart (enraged greater owlbears in the witch swamp, I'm talking about you three!)

Waking up in the morning: No work today, gonna play this game for all day.

After playing three hours, which around 1 hour is spend on loading, reloading, camping and waiting for characters to slowly walk through the map: This game really irradiates me! Fuck!

Stop playing for 2 hours:Shit I really want to play kingmaker again.

enraged greater owlbears in the witch swamp

I was gonna be a bad-ass, then I decided I could always come back later

 

[Luckmann]

Well Staglord is the most simple example. A Sarevok-turned-Archer on hard to reach ramp with a wave of meat to protect, pair of high level goons using invisibility and sneak attacks and owlbear ambushing you from cage

all that can be de-constructed by stealthing around his camp and using skill checks, bribing bandits etc.

retarded owlbear came up

btw that is that owlbear you can lock in his cage on make attack enemies I take it.

It's funny, because sneaking around the platform was exactly what I did on the first attempt. When he teleported up there, I already had two on it. Really, when the initiating character (initiating because they are no longer sneaking) is already on that platform, and the enemies (in a narrative sense) have obviously noticed that you're there, he shouldn't teleport up there - he should be set to teleport to the other platform.

It would be an easy way to avoid trivializing the encounter as well as an extremely cool bit of out-of-dialogue/narrative reactivity.

My maximum carry weight changing with fatigue levels and - worst offender - when my party drops to only the PC is infuriating.

Being told i can't travel because I'm overloaded is quickly turning into "You must gather your party before venturing forth..."

Sweet Zombie Jesus, it's 30 gb, that's going to take half a day on my connection. When did rpgs became this big? Am I just too old?

I would prefer paying extra for a couple of DVDs over such a huge / slow download! Confoundingly, when I registered on the Owlcat forum, and received approval to join, I was somehow immediately banned before ever writing a first message there! I've never heard of such a thing!

They had some sort of security incident or similar that resulted in a lot of new accounts immediately getting banned as a precaution.

It's been ten days, or more. I have eMailed their webmaster, nothing in answer!

Its how the PnP games have always worked.

What? No D&D never worked like that.

What's the hotkey for Stealth? Or how can you drag it onto the hotbar?

Can't find it in options->controls.

Game is serious garbage if clicking the eye button is the only way.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

It's on the right side of the quick-bar. Took me a while to find too for some reason lol.

it's to the right of the hotbar--there's a little eye.

 

[111111111]

Is anyone else just picking a character to agro the enemies and then run away to bottleneck them for every fight?

Yeah, I can click that button.

What's the keyboard shortcut?

You can bind/drag pretty a lot of stuff but I can't find how to do it for stealth.

Sure but I find that characters slow waaaay down once in combat so the enemies will catch up fast.

Reminds of how my level 89 Venomancer died in D2 hc. Went down throne room, screen went black, I hear the death scream and after the level was loaded after rougly .5 second I saw that the entire damn entry area was filled with souls. Always loved that.

Being told i can't travel because I'm overloaded is quickly turning into "You must gather your party before venturing forth..."

Or you could just abide by the simple fucking mechanics here.

I do - I load up to weight, start traveling back to town to sell stuff, get fatigued, get caught by a random encounter and then can't continue my trip without going through an extended rest sequence. Then I get to town, lose 5 characters and my PC is running walking crawling around to the vendor cause everyone ditched him. Personally, I think this might have been done slightly better in other games similar to this one.

 

[*-*/\--/\~]

Hahahhaha i just noticed it while messing around in steam .

Typical retarded sjws,there is just one rule......and 20 more subrules . Pox on them.

Is this horsefucker the mod who made Roqua so butthurt?

I think so, this my little pony abomination is the Dolores Umbridge of the Steam forums.

 

[fantadomat]

My friend who is hard to make play anything and never played PoE etc. plays and shouts stuff like "kobolds in the mines, oh my 20 yo youth where are thou"
- So what did you think about super bear
- What bear
- One in camp
- You mean owlbear?
- Ye they say he has high stats
- Well I just turned it against enemy camp, it basically killed half the camp by itself. isn't he there to help you fight the bandits?
- B-but. muh steam reviews. muh inflated stats--
- Well they give you an owlbear, you use the owlbear. Party killed Staglord, bear tanked everything. I wanted to sacrifice him but he just lol survived and then went back into the forest. Which is why I named my barony after him.
- Named like how?
- "Sovuha". (Совуха) (сова = owl) since on russian in the game he is named "Sovuh".

Well this comes as no surprise to me,after all your friends is a Rus-Glorious Slav. Most of those butthurst reviews are from mericans that miss their "push a button to progress" games. Anyway,fun story bro .


dragonul09 how would you rate this game,how many arrows in the head out of ten?

In Olegs Trading Post, or the Capital, your current weight should be ignored. Mine always was. Perhaps a bug?
