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

Is there a way to cheat with the kingdom events... basically when you enter a spiral of "Crumbling" it's so hard to come out. Also I am totally uninterested with it.

You always have to keep some BP in the bank. Failing an event is often not a big deal other than you wont get whatever boon it could have given you except when your BP drop below zero due to failing it. e.g. if you use up all BP with building stuff and then a failed event give -35 BP you're dropping into the negatives and this is what makes your stability drop to worried, crumbling etc and eventually results in riots. My kingdom went back to stable after it was worried once, even though I get failed events once in a while as well, but I always keep at least 100BP in the bank.

Make it 501 BP.

If anyone's curious about the armor.

And the solution to the puzzle.

Shame that Maegar Varn or Kersten aren't companions, they both seems like bros, plus the game lacks proper frontline companion, as I don't like Amiri.

Why? And from when on? I'm currently in the middle of monster invasion (noble hunting grounds). Is this still ch2? I haven't done ancient curse round 2 yet which still has a month left or so.
Is there any reason to do those extremely expensive trade agreements or all those curse researches?

I am leveling Linzi as Knifemaster 3/Mad Dog++ and noone will stop me
She is so cute running around stabbing everything for 20 damage, and it helps that first +1 dagger is Cold Iron

Also it is amusing how Sneak Attack is added to elemental damage of Touch Spells in melee, that just feels... huh

Valerie hits d10+11 damage
does 2d6 sneak attack
magus acid touch activates
2d4 acid damage
sneak attack for touch spell activates
2d6 acid sneak attack
rekt.

Why? And from when on?

trust the orange daemon

I don't remember when it can happen maybe act IV
You are chapter 3

Game needs to add at least 1 more heavy plateable goon in the expansions. Party really only needs 1 mage, 1 cleric, 1 hero of wakanda, and 3 fat fucks to stand and front and tank for our glorious ebony DPS shitter.

 

[Shadenuat]

Party really only needs 1 mage

faek news
more arcane casters > more powerful party

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

You have those touch spell sneak dice with an Eldritch Archer too, that's why I thought Magus 2 + class with lots of sneak dice should be really good. You get all your sneak dice 2x per round.

[Shadenuat]

1 hero of wakanda

And I'm not even sure he is the best archer.
My guess Eldritch Archer should be the most powerful, although Ranger, of course, is a lot more consistent and can have baron-smilodon

I dunno, their extra attacks have fairly low base damage (they can't pass 15 Cold Iron DR afaik), and the problem is, you would have to cast additional Free Action for every pet in your party during endgame

So if you want and just run a zoo party, you are looking at 12 Free Actions every rest.

A pure arcane caster as an option for people who don't want mercs would be nice as well. In general at least one in every class in the game would be nice. There are no recruitable Sorcerers, Druids and only 0.5-wizard at the moment afaik.

Slightly OT: since the rules are basically open source, is there a well done ebook containing the basic /relevant ruleset for me to read, while waiting for P:K to reach beta?

Guys, how do I upload a pic here? got something fun to show you
toro please?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

while it aims for the 1 tb worth of patches, i put the game on hold, it would be silly to continue with a broken, incomplete product.
meanwhile... while creating mercs i somehow fell in love with the idea of a glaive wielding sword saint, full dex and cha, some int, low str, perfect for one of the vanilla portraits. i picture this infamous silver tongued duelist, almost impossible to hit, moving from place to place
obviously sub-par, i'm not afraid to lower difficulty. my question is: is there a way to make it viable? are there agile glaives in game to be used with him? fantasy is full of legendary smiths and enchanters, yet only morrowind let us create truly powerful artifacts and mostly only by exploiting the system.

no dickpics, thanks.

 

[Incendax]

Anyone can confirm that removing unlooted items fixes the loading times?!

No idea. I loot EVERYTHING like an OCD hamster with bulging cheeks, and my load times are never more than 2-3 seconds on SSD (except that first big load when starting the game).

Check your number of custom saves, though. Unity is a dick about loading times if you have too many custom saves.

I reported the issue 2 days ago (emailed the save games / log through to them), and I just tested it - seems resolved

Yeah but Curse mechanic and NPCs are still there unresolved so anyone who tries to go through True Endgame is still fucked

It seems to be working ok for me - the curse is gone (completed retrieving all the allies), am up to the final battle.

Spoiler

Having trouble getting past the third wave, the multiple complete buff removal spells means you need to have people equipped with free action items to prevent the constant paralysis. Unfortunately my main damage dealer isn't skilled in hammers.

For anyone who was complaining about the difficulty early on, there is little chance they will finish this game - the difficulty spike is significant in the final set of maps.

It might depend on who your allies are
For example i have tsanna and other evil dudes they bugged out

You cannot use Weapon Finesse with big weapons like Glaive.

Finished it! Woooo About 105 hours in total for me. Had a few minor visual defects in the final chapter, but other than that it seemed to work fine now.

Yeah didn't have Tsanna but had Bartholomew. I found all the allies made little difference, other than

Yea, it sounds like one could make a nice Soviet Russia joke out of this :D

Give Amiri a Glaive and she will destroy almost anything.
