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

[fantadomat]

Well... looks like Vordakai was not prepared for a fucktons of buffs. This is my entire fight with him:

It is boring...

 

[vazha]

Guys help me out please. My Harrim suddenly decided he doesn't want to run anymore. He just walks. Not encumbered, has +10 movement speed boots on, no party encumbrance, no bad weather. He's just being a dick I suppose. I tried couple of solutions offered on steam (such as stealth on/off, reload, reinstall (!), pause on/off), nothing works. Pls halp, this is ruining my game.

When it happened to me, reloading fixed the issue.
Did you try remove curse? Treat affliction? Reloading a previous savegame (one where Harrim ran normaly)? Using Haste?

tried all of that. Thing is I switched to Tristian at some point (Harrim still used to run around) and now when he's done his sneaky thing, I tried to use Harrim and he no longer wants to run. literally crawls, and the whole party does too, if I select all of them. If I pick just five - Harrim they do run. Tried remove curse, but he aint cursed. As for affliction he isnt afflicted either but will still try that now.

I read somewhere that the game doesn't tell you when a character has some weird condition like "insanity". I would try, remove disease, curse, greater restoration - any cleric spell that remove conditions. If nothing works, then have him die (kill him slowly with fireballs or send him alone vs some creep) and ress him.

Vordakai is also a weak narrative point. I mean, forget how mages are not BG2 levels.... he's supposed to be a thousands years old lich with a direct connection to Charon.

Yet, your lvl9-11 party can finish it off in 2 rounds.

Also, why doesn't he use the fucking oculus on you?

I felt pretty meh. Seriously. The water elementals before him were far more problematic and raped my party 3 or 4 times.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

the only difficult fight in that dungeon is the one against 1 astradaemon + 2 thanadaemons

 

[Efe]

insanity is shown as a debuff.
you probably tried it all but remove all of his equipment and quick slot and change map. what does it display when you mouse over his movement speed?

as for vordakai the game tells you "years have taken its toll on him". he does use it on you and your whole country, it takes a long time appparently (all those magic build up events that give you game over at the end).

 

[ArchAngel]

Maybe we should complain in their discord so they buff the Vordakai fight. It is a shame that he talks the big talk but cannot walk the walk.

When you find out it's pretty easy to "chain of light" astradaemons... I just used death ward and that spell and I managed to kill everyone easily.

I found the room with cyclops popping out of the fucking walls the more difficult fight. I had to redo that several times fully buffed.

funny thing is i cannot remove all of his equipment, he's got that vordakai cloak on.

 

[Fedora Master]

The research into the various curses is the fucking Bear Lore of this game. I mean, you normally spend months to research that shit and get +2 Divine or whatever? THANKS GUYS.

Or provide the party a narrative way to deal with him. Like the Stag Lord's wine or something.
A debuff ancient amulet you brought with you specifically for him. Anything really.

 

[Gord]

Ahaha, Val just got abducted during the Technic League Random(?) Encounter, so I went after them - that Kalannah woman was chain summoning wolves which attacked her own guards.

The early chapters are sure super polished already...

Also, the whole thing is a bit stupid - you encounter those assholes and the whole thing is obviously set up in a way that you can only lose, yet when you go after them, suddenly they are pushovers?
Well, whatever...

He is able to use it "fast". He used it on the guy who gives you the Candlemere quest. Yet when you are in front of him, nothing.

Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to have slightly buffed solitary 13th level Wizard as a boss for a level 10-11 party of 6. He did manage to kill Octavia in the first round by casting Finger of Death on her, but then the rest of the party just curb-stomped him.

Also, it bugs me how they nerfed Finger of Death/Wail of the Banshee so that it's only 10 damage per caster level instead of killing you outright. Plus, in Forgotten Realms, a creature killed by FoD can't be resurrected, making it a fearsome spell you have to counter or you're potentially permanently fucked. Here it's just another single-target nuke.

No it's not, you just have to research a whole bunch of them to see why.

 

[Lambach]

Nah, they're very much beatable. Focus the Wizards with your hardest hitters and reload half a dozen times, it can be done.

I've been ignoring those because they take ages to complete. What are the benefits, other than +Divine or +Arcane?

You cannot be Raised Dead but you can be Reincarnated or Resurrected.

It's a very heavy spoiler, you can search it on Steam.

For now it's bugged.

 

[vazha]

Nothing changes. Harrim still walks. Gonna use a custom cleric :/

Download a save game editor and change his base movement speed.

Still can't find anything, just some unproven speculation.

 

[Efe]

people say you cant get 13th curse research.. i got 3-4 tristian researches on one of my saves which should let me reach 13+, so should i aim for that ending?

Which one is bugged, out of curiosity?

 

[Shadenuat]

Noone has any idea, just that game doesn't set flags in your saves for now for CurseResearch level to function correctly AFAIK.

I researched them all and didn't get nothing, is the payoff only after pitax?
