I'm thinking, maybe releasing broken ass games is just a strategy to combat piracy.

pirategog version is: 1.0.6
torrent-cracked version is: 1.0.3

well probally 1.0.3 is better than 1.0.6 for bugs.

This has been a pet conspiracy theory of mine for years.....

Nah, if a game is popular pirates provide patches with only a vert short delay. There is already a 1.04 version of P:K out there for anyone's not removing from inventory needs. You can be certain than any "big patch" will be out there with almost no delay. Besides the last hotfix supposedly broke the game quite badly.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

They don't blame everyone else and insist on collective guilt and that everyone else pay reparations for their fuck-ups.

Are we talking about video gamers or African Americans?

EEEEYYY

 

[Ayreos]

It can't be an incline game unless it's marred by countless bugs due to excessive ambition and complexity of the game. It's not a novelty in the wRPG genre and more of a badge of honor.
That aside, my verdict on the game is that it has great narrative and an astounding casual-filtering battle system that's the deepest we ever had in the genre. Everything else is worse than mediocre. Navigation and exploration are abysmal, while the scenario is just okay for now.

And yet, people seem to dislike the bitter taste of actual incline. You know, Fornite and PUBG are pretty fun and bug-free. Their mechanics are developed to the utmost to provide endless dopamine pulses at just the right frequency. It's a Brave New World out there, with beauteous people in it!

Stop excusing developers for releasing unfinished games.

people who want respec in rpgs are communists

Austerity always works!

I thought the bug about the effects stacking only effects the attributes and things like that. I am watching someone soloing Hard on twitch and he has 24 DR or something and he just noticed it from the stacking up bug I think.

nope
just equip adamantine armor and you're immortal

 

[Xeon]

Ah, so its not from a bug but from the adamantine armor? my bad, thanks.

The Stream

Edit:
I am not sure anymore, people kinda telling its from the stacking bug and he should edit it from the save file or something. He tried using cheat engine to fix his character but didn't know how to make it work.

He started playing on unfair to try and compensate, only trolls seem to be able to injure him and only with a crit.

It's the stacking stats bug. The armor itself only gives DR 3/-

 

[Fedora Master]

Man, as much as I love the game, these new bugs are beginning to weigh on me.

 

[haderlump]

Another helpful tip, don't have more than 10-15+ manual saves because it will tank the performance with 10-15+ fps, even more if you continue to save manually, or have a ridiculous amount of quicksaves. I removed around 30-40 save files and the performance gain is ridiculous, jumped from 40 ish to 60+, what a garbage ass engine.

That was exactly what happened with the HBS game. Seems to be a Unity thing.

Unity has no builtin save game/persistence system.

For the first Pillars of Eternity a tip made the rounds that having less savegames would improve loading times for some totally idiotic reason.
In my oppinion that doesn't make any sense but whatever. I never checked it because I was already done with that game when I read it.

Don't know if it's true or if it would apply to Pathfinder, on the other hand it would explain why I felt loading got worse the longer I played. I'll backup my saves and try it out, as it does not seem as if regular playing would make much sense right now anyway.

 

[hexer]

Finally some time in Chapter 5 to develop the kingdom!

 

[Syme]

Man, as much as I love the game, these new bugs are beginning to weigh on me.

Yeah same, I'm sitting on a perfectly fine end of chapter 1 save and I'm kinda hesitant to continue right now. I can deal with minor issues like a feat not working or double Amiri, but there's actual gamebreaking shit going on ATM.

This is what happens when you participate in the discussions on the Steam forum and is critical of the game. They take one of your random posts and permanently ban you, giving no reason:

https://i.imgur.com/41wu5S0.png

Apparently they don't appreciate community participation/discussion or bug reports.

Do you think there is a chance they could have read one of your earlier posts from this thread?

I'll have you know that I've actually acquired the game legally.

Owlcat's mods are super anal fascist's. Be nice or else we put you in gulag!

So, the opposite of fascism?

...

Anyway, thanks for rant, but I will not continue this discussion since it's pointless to argue with insane person like you. Your mind is stuck circle jerk of arrogance, hypocrisy, selfishness and hatred, so it's pointless to argue with you. Maybe someday life teach you a lesson, but I have no time on this.

Could you be any more of an insufferable fucking millennial?

I was expecting the image to be racist or something but no:

Maybe they thought it was and didn't even bother to look?

"half-orc"

It's a pretty half-orc you racists.

black orcs matter

but yes I can see how that could have been a misunderstanding

I'm assuming you were banned because you implied a black human was half-orc

Spoiler

Is someone suggesting that it's not a pretty half-orc? Not all half-orcs have tusks, you know! The Pathfinder/Golarion material implies that many are tusk-less and some even file their tusks down. Her pointy ears doesn't really show, either, because they're hidden under the hair. It's incredibly fucking racist that some (possibly including Owlcat?) seem to assume that all half-orcs 100% conform to some stereotype muscle-girl with huge tusks, and that they're all barbarians. This is very clearly a half-orc druid - and we know that it's a druid, because it's in the file-name (I thought it was a bit too arcane-looking at first, myself).

And in all genuine seriousness, I was (honestly) working my way up to sharing the latest thing I did, tongue-in-cheek, with the dude that probably wanted something more archetypically half-orc-y. But I guess I just wasn't good enough for the ban-happy bastards at Owlcat.

 

[Sykar]

Even without taking into consideration the mechanical implications of respec (of which there are many), it goes against the whole idea of roleplaying a concrete character.

"a wizard did it"
there, I fixed the roleplaying part for you.

Except not even the greatest wizard can do it in any D&D version.

Yea its not a real incline game unless it crashes during load screen.

Building your kingdom in this game is such a waste of time, I maxed almost everything, build other towns and there's barely any change, if any at all, not even fluff text to at least give you the impression that your kingdom is growing. I don't know why they wasted resources on this instead of fixing the game or give you a small fortress ala NWN 2, BG 2 and have more meaningful content. Also not even mentioning those load times to go in your castle, get out of your castle, get out of the main street, go to the in, uhh just a terrible waste of time.

 

[Nahel]

This game made spiders great again

 

[Shadenuat]

It's an "Errand", apparently. The last one here: https://en.ostrog.com/pathfinder-kingmaker-23120/

I think they scraped its quest log description out of the game files but haven't actually played it yet.

No idea what this playthrough talks about since there is no tavern there to enter, location is bugged. Probably due to transition bug from act v to vi.

With 1.06 bug the game is utterly broken, may as well open dev console and type godmode. That if we had dev console . I think even Shadenuat cant finish the game cause of broken quests and he's even further than any of us. So fucking publisher forced them to release way too early , or they ran out of funds.

The Pitax act is broken in the end, many players on steam are reaching it right now and there are threads about it. It is the key issue together with stacking effects introduced gracefully by 1.0.6

Octavia has her personal quest in Pitax too, and it is an interesting one

Spoiler

she is actually a marquise

but no luck.

Well, I assume they simply copied the mechanics from the PnP adventure.
That said, aren't there are least merchants and crafters that can provide cool equipment?

Indeed, spiders stucking casual millenials on webs for a good punishing ten minutes, while gifted old men like me had freedom of movement spells memorized!

I took one look at that insanity, then immediately rerolled to a Conjuration Specialist so I could web everyone and everything. Also cackle like a madman. Then I discovered the horrible, horrible truth about Web.

Here is Commisssar's Paladin moment before finishing act 1:

Vulcan Sol Invictus Thor Jesus but Aryan.

None can stop the Crusade of Righteous! (except bugs will play a bit in second chapter and then wait 6m-1 year to play finished game)
