Which lightning scroll works for the lightning pillar in Lonely Burrow?

Frost and Acid one reacted to scrolls, can't use call lightning or another one to remove the winds on this one.

you have to cast level 0 spells on the pillars

one offensive cantrip per pillar

Don't have a wizard, scrolls worked for all but this one. Bugfinder strikes again.

Aren't you not supposed to be able to cast Call Lightning indoors anyway?

You can cast it on other units, but not the pillar .

I wanted a high-damage weapon without having to spend a Feat on Exotic Weapons, get off my dick!

It's just amusing to me that so many screenshots are of Lawful (and sometimes Good) types. We really are authoritarian!

I think you read a bit too much into this. You might as well say that anyone playing Kingmaker as "chaotic" is an anarchist. You have a tiny country to rule in this game and societies do need laws after all.
Besides you don't even know what people really play, only a few posted any screenshots. Look here:

Paladnins barely made it into top 5 beaten by rogues and even barbarians.

Valerie quest:

I won the duel at Oleg's, but is there any reason not to murder the guy? He has some nice loot and she receives the scar regardless.

Yes.

Spoiler

During the last part of Valerie's quest, he will stick up for Valerie's honour. I'm not 100% sure that he's necessary to get the best ending for her quest, but he helps.

What are the best and worse endings? I killed him too, he's got a mouth on hisself and also a rather nice rapier to boot

Is touch AC broken in this game?

Even just Jubilost annihilates stuff with his machine gun acid bomb, can't imagine what would happen if I gave a char sneak attack with touch.

 

[fantadomat]

By the way, I've finished chapter 4 in 20 days (more or less) but by doing this I just fucked myself because chapter 5 just started.

I cannot take a break from these timed events.

I kin don't believe you mate. There is a lot of running around in hard to walk places that take a lot of time. Just getting to the tombs i like 2 weeks.


I do agree that timed events are shit. It will be better if you get to progress the story on your own time.

No, it functions exactly like how it does in the PnP.
Careful not to insult the almighty PnP by suggesting it may be completely imbalanced or the people who worship it will get upset.

Don't believe. I'm not in the mood to reload for screenshots.

Just FYI: the travel from the Capital to Vordekai's tomb takes 4 days.

Also the fastest way to do the quest is:
- go varnhold,
- go barbarian's camp, talk Dugath, talk sisters, get 3 location,
- do all 3 locations (after each one go to Barbarian camp to sell shit),
- go Vordekai.
Note. Use Galt Ragout and Fish-on-a-Stick when traveling. Anything else when enter location for fighting.

The entire thing took less than 20 days (including travel).

Unfortunately I did not explore anything else from the region and the next chapter spawned as soon as Voderkai became a dead dog.

So, I think I'm somewhat fucked. I should have spent more time dicking around that region.

You need 3 villages to upgrade to a town. This part I'm sure. I've managed to annex 6 territories and build 6 villages while 2 of them could be upgraded to towns.

And I think you need 3 towns to upgrade to a city. This part I'm not sure. Someone can confirm this part?

Best ending is

Spoiler

Valerie realizes that she should be more accepting and Shelyn removes her scar. She gets +2 Str, +2 Cha permanently. Not sure if she gets the stat boost with the worse ending but she keeps the scar and you have to kill an entire order of Shelyn paladins instead of only a few zealots.

best ending turns her into a paladin

If she gets the stats anyway the other option is fine by me - There can be only ONE paladin of Shelyn and that's my mainchar with his whopping 27 charisma.

Could you elaborate on how to achieve that? Especially if you've got that pompous fop killed.

 

[Lawntoilet]

I've seen people say that before but never how to do it. I was pretty sure I had gotten the best ending but she is still LN.

 

[Ibbz]

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

Spoiler

Nyrissa

who was in the final battle.

What character levels have you reached at the end?

Level 16

 

[Parabalus]

Does leveling really slow down that much? I'm approaching lvl 10 in Ch2.

I've seen some guys say they hit 17-18 if you pass most of the high-DC checks from Chapter 4 onwards.

Holy shit, even the dev stream has atrocious loadtimes. Hopefully they can patch them up to a manageable level like PoE1 did.
Good to know that Paizo designers agree that the "game too hard" Steam reviewers are retarded, too. I'm glad they like the game.

This is great to hear. Reinforces that game developers shouldn't listen to the children crying on steam.

 

[Lawntoilet]

Thanks Jenkem, just listening to Arseniy get all embarrassed about how much Paizo likes the game design decisions. This stream is peak

Also, since I'm here. Do you guys who've played a fair amount into the game feel like there are going to be a lot of significant additions to the kingdom building aspect of the game, or does it feel close to or where it's going to end up?

Do you mean are there additions later in the game, or will it be expanded on in DLC/patches? Either way I think the answer is probably yes, the later game with artisan quests involves you a bit more, and I think there is a lot of potential to incorporate more parts of gameplay into the kingdom management section, like how finding Armag's Tomb or

Spoiler

investigating Tristian's curse

are used later in the game.

Yeah, I mainly meant does it seem like they are intending on fleshing out the kingdom management more. It about the only thing holding me back from diving back in right now.
