KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Safav Hamon]

That weapon design is absurd

 

[ItsChon]

Meh. Sounds kinda like nitpicking, and I'm of the crowd that thinks this game will be a pile of steaming hot garbage.

 

[J_C]

Meh. Sounds kinda like nitpicking,

It is. The game is not a simulation, we have dumb looking weapons in fantasy games for decades.

 

[thesheeep]

It's magic!

 

[rashiakas]

Noone uses crossbows in PF anyway

With this type of awesome ranged weapon, you can solve a lot of problems in PATHFINDER: KINGMAKER. What will be your first target?

It's not just any steampunk, it's HEAVY steampunk.

That design is so hilariously dumb and non-functional it's downright amazing.
Somebody got paid to draw this...
If the mechanics were hidden under some sort of covering, fine. Art-style, fine. But this? Come on. Literally nothing about this makes any damn sense.

The worst thing is that you don't even need to go steampunk to make a repeating crossbow. The Chinese were making them two thousand years ago. The same motion that pulls back the string also raises the next bolt from the magazine. Some of them would fire three bolts at once.*

*I learned this after watching John Wu's Red Cliff, getting angry about the many repeating crossbows, then looking them up to find out they were actually a thing.

They copied that off Van Helsing;

Only the Cuckdex gets trigged and goes all homotional over a fucking fantasy crossbow. What complete and utter phaggots.

That's not a crossbow, just some construction with a string on it. It will never shoot bolts. (at normal strength and in desired direction, atleast)

Unless the game setting has some ORKZ WAAGH stuff that makes random things function as hi-tech weapons, this shit goes into blunt weapons category.

Companion Trailer

 

[Kem0sabe]

That voice acting...

 

[Safav Hamon]

Corny

 

[jf8350143]

How many companions are there in the game? I recall in the first trailer they said more than 10, but there is only 8 showing up in the trailer and 10 on the official group funding page.

 

[Abu Antar]

Sounds as bad as Neverwinter Nights 2 or Storm of Zehir VA. That Linsi chick gives me Neeshka vibes. *shudder*

Still, I remain cautiously optimistic about the gameplay.

 

[Infinitron]

The voice acting reminds me of the old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon:

Kind of charming that way, actually.

 

[ArchAngel]

I like it. It is good enough. Certainly feels more like BG than PoE did.

They left out nok nok and that vampire chick for some reasons, but they are in the beta for sure.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

Agree, voice acting isn't bad, it's classic and charming. Give the game a lot of character.
Much better than washed out generic triple-A voice acting.

I wish they used S.T.A.L.K.E.R. voice actors though...

 

[vonAchdorf]

The video had a PnP vibe, I like it. You can have humour without going full Divinity.

 

[YanBG]

It's a bit generic overall, but i guess that's with all "medieval fantasy" games nowadays.

I'd like to play with some kind of russian class!

Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Tools of Engagement
4 SEPTEMBER - THEZEISONSHA

In close combat you need a reliable friend - thrusting and stabbing won't be one of your problems with this lovely dagger in PATHFINDER: KINGMAKER.

Is it Lawful Evil or Chaotic Evil?

 

[santino27]

Ok... so they just don't bother with punctuation on their concept art. So presumably this is "Dagger - Evil Concept" and the crossbow was "Crossbow - Heavy Steampunk" and not just a random assortment of words.
