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

[Xeon]

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.

I think there is an option to disable the movement penalty from weight, you'll still be affected by fatigue but at least you'll be able to move fast.

Yeah, I never liked inventory management in any game since its mostly a drag instead of a challenge or something so hopefully there will be a mod or an option to remove fatigue or at least reduce it further.

The dipshits didn't fix the gamebreaking bug,off with their heads!!!

Which one? Whine on Steam if you didn't, I want to play my act IV.

The one that stops you entering the portal in the elk temple! From what i noticed you can't progress without finishing the quest,also it looks like pretty interesting quest. All those fixes are pretty useless to me....except returning of the barbarian snowflake. But that one i could live with.

The game still have a bunch of inaccessible maps,that you can't walk because it doesn't detect you or something.

 

[haderlump]

Anybody else here still playing from HD? How do you cope with it? I seriously consider buying a SSD just for this game.
I suppose the investment could be worth it if I don't want to pull out the rest of my hair.
There is probably not much else on my side I could do to improve it, or is there? Rest of my hardware is more than capable to run this game.

In the first act, the loading screens were tolerable, but as soon as I enter act II it becomes absolutely infuriating. Not only the map table in the throneroom or areas in the capital, I have the impression that normal maps, even small ones I already visited seem to take much longer than before.

Right now I'm spending my game time replaying act I again and again with different characters hoping there'll be a patch soon that optimizes this mess at least a little bit. A good way to avoid the apparently gamebreaking bugs in later acts for now, but I really would like to continue the campaign already.

 

[pomenitul]

It must be said that no other Codex thread has ever garnered this many 'incline' ratings.

 

[Chippy]

I might have to hold my playthrough until I can upgrade my potato PC:

Winf 7 64bit
Intel I7 2.8GHz
12 GB DDR Ram
x2 AMD 5870
SSD 10mb/s (I think, just bought it)

As soon as I loaded it up and changed the settings ti min, the GPU started to go nuts. The fan was so loud it woke someone up in the next room and they asked me if we had a storm outside. Its moments like this when I think about how much money I spent helping to kickstart POE, W2, and TON.

 

[Hamster]

I've gotten the feeling of being "too old" a couple of times as well. Turns out I was just playing a shit game. PoE with White March, Blackguards (especially Blackguards) and now PoEII convinced me that's not the case at all. When this shit is done well it's still my second favourite pass time right below getting drunk and yelling curse words at political opponents in bars

Same thing here. Sooner or later comes the game that dispels any fears i have about being "too old". Most recently Original Sin 2 and Nier: Automata did it for me. Deadfire was fine too, despite my grudge with Sawyer.
The best part is that now i know that shit games are indeed shit and there is nothing wrong with me. I can be an angry grognard without any second thoughts!

 

[Shadenuat]

For people who think there is no Crusader Kings 2 in this game, if as a baron you talk to

Spoiler

beautiful and magnificent (you may bow) mite queen Bdah, she proposes a dynastic marriage to you

 

[Grampy_Bone]

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

I know in 3.5 they specified that Int boosting items don't give you extra skill points, but other than that feats are fair game. The trick is you are supposed to lose the feats if your stats get lowered, but that entails a level of bookkeeping most people don't bother with.

 

[you know what time it is]

I might have to hold my playthrough until I can upgrade my potato PC:

Winf 7 64bit
Intel I7 2.8GHz
12 GB DDR Ram
x2 AMD 5870
SSD 10mb/s (I think, just bought it)

I run it on high on way worse setup, the game has no FPS cap option hence the helicopter sounds from GPU (unless you really neglected it and it needs some good dusting), either turn v-sync ON or just set a cap in your gpu software.

In AMD radeon settings it should be under Gaming -> Global Settings -> Frame Rate Target Control

In case it still runs hot, killing post-processing nonsense like Bloom should help a bit, besides the game looks better without it I think.

 

[Jinn]

Not sure if this was posted yet (only drawback of this being such flaming hot incline is this thread moves too fast to keep up with!) but the game seems to have hit 70% Mostly Positive with it's steam user rating.

About goddamn time, and I hope it gives them a nice sales boost through the week and into the weekend. May eastern Europe continue to bring us excellent RPGs!

 

[Cyberarmy]

"Disintegrated units are invisible after a resurrection. Resolution: fixed."

Wasn't disintegration works like that though? Whole point of that spell was to eliminate everything against resurrection?

 

[santino27]

Started my barony for the 4th time, and may actually stick with the character this time. Went with a Mad Dog barbarian. Going to table my playthtrough until the big patch on Friday, and hope it fixes a lot of the later game bugs.

They just fixed Amiri bug, that was the biggest issue with progressing past a certain a point, though in all likelihood there's a few more of those down the line.

If you haven’t already, make sure to ACTUALLY report it to the devs with your save file, otherwise you are an idiot.

When i see that lazy retardation my blood boils. This is the same shit that swede cucks of paradox are pulling every fucking time. Something extremely obvious and easy to detect by playing the fucking game,and they have the audacity to want fucking save files and wasting my time with reporting it!!!

Dude all I know is that I haven't had any problems like this if abiding by the rules of resting when fatigued and making sure my inventory is "light".

When it comes to Tristian, there's multiple reports of it up, and there's no need to send any save files, because it's easily verifiable (and easily fixed).

Is it just me or the party moves faster after the latest patch?

 

[Jinn]

Hmm. Something makes me wonder if you actually purchased either of these harbingers of quality, or if you've been much more likely riding the high sea and complaining the whole time.

Either way, you better hold up on Insomnia. Don't need you jamming that thread up with your technical complaints too.
