Besides hunting when resting. Where do you get rations?
You can buy them at the trading post. The guy standing just outside the door to the building sells them. I don't think they show up unless you filter shop list to only show "Other". It's the rightmost icon. It's completely blank, like it's missing art.

Tip: it might be tempting, but don't buy 50 of them. They'll weigh 500lbs.

They really should have enabled unrestricted party creation from the start. Challenging difficulty is not compatible with bidrone design. In a combat focused game, a player should be allowed to go to war with the soldiers he wants.

I don't think this is a combat focused game, it's more balanced like BG instead of like IWD. I prefer the BG series by far so I'm pretty happy.

It's basically a more traditional RPG adventure.

Playing a Neutral Evil guy first and slogging my way through Old Sycamore only to discover that you can just as well do it the Neutral Good path and barely fight anybody... That's something I didn't expect.

This game is unplayably buggy. I'm at the point where I can't even enter my own city because it just crashes, and now my fort is randomly vanquished but the game over screen is bugged and doesn't tell me why. I tried editing the savefile and setting all my fort stats to 999 and it still happens, so I'm guessing it's just another bug.

Surely there must be perks to playing an evil guy eventually? Otherwise :decline:.

Edit: I'm currently playing a neutral character but I'm planning to do an evil playthrough as a necromancer, it will be disappointing if good characters get all the benefits.

Kingmaker seems to be doing better than Deadfire did in the Steam top sellers, it's like the game is glued into the top 5 (currently second place). The mixed ranking and lack of press reviews don't seem to be hurting it very much; maybe the "brutal difficulty" is inspiring people to buy it?

this is what it shows when I ask for the final report at the gameover screen:

It's not like there aren't any evil options. Also occasionally picking a different alignment option isn't too bad. Neutral Good don't mean I can't punch a bitch.

The complaint with the elves is weird, I don't think I played any game with elves that had beards. Also the loading between areas seem pretty short for me and I am not even using an SSD, its just at the game start that takes a while to load up everything.

I kinda agree about it being close to NWN, for its close to 2, don't remember much about the first. I also kinda wish it was TB but as long as there is a better way to switch between slow mode and fast in and out of combat that would be great.

More like they need to disable tutorial, because I'm gonna restart 3rd -4th time.:negative:

People like challenging games, just need more devs to understand that (even if this game gets me pissed off). They are Billions is another recent example.
