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

[Jimmious]

expect some sort of "WTF, why would they design it this way?" moment.

So just like every Obsidian game ever.

There, better. There has been no game ever that had no design decision that was ... weird or out of place.

 

[Sneaky Seal]

Personal opinion here: I'm excited about the kingdom building part, I've always wanted to run a tyranny with black knights, inquistion, and stuff. All the other parts seem more traditional, but it is obviously very early to judge.

However, the guys are really invested into this game, hopefully my countrymen will not screw it up, and deliver something awesome.

Does anyone know how the magic works in this world? Will there be straight up mages with fireballs and lightnings?

 

[Musaab]

I'm really starting to think this is gonna be good. I've bought the hype.

 

[Zed]

does Pathfinder have any PG+ stuff in it or is it a pussy setting for pussies???

 

[ArchAngel]

I like it that party only has a shared inventory instead of a magical stash like PoE.

'cept its shared "stash". Individual inventories are removed to not make it too identical

It's Pathfinder. Of course there will be.

 

[Krivol]

Please don't suck...

Who am I kidding...

If pussy is not your thing I have good news for you friend, several days ago during Pathfinder Reddit AMA Chris Avellone has confirmed presence of and heavy focus on hardcore homosexual romances.

Chris/Josh slash when?

Name is not important, it has limited space unlike PoE shit.

This is a secret "project" Chris is working on right now.

 

[Infinitron]

That tweet is from 2014 and he was talking about Armored Warfare.

Armored Warfare is a hack of a game made hastily to cover up real secret "project" of Chris Avellone.

Which is good... why exactly?

Because you get to use your brain instead of just dumping everything in the magical stash because of the need to evaluate what is worth keeping and what is to be left on the floor.

Dat answer screams he was not happy, no one cared, no one understood, then it was too late. Poor Chris Wip.

If it's anything like the inventories in the IE games, there's enough space to keep everything you might need so it's just a matter of dropping, or not picking up, junk. That doesn't require a brain, just tolerance for drudgery and pointless busywork.

If they dropped the main inventory altogether and only allowed equipment + quickslots, then there would be a genuine challenge. More realistic too.

My dream is one day play a good RPG with Xcom like inventory per character with specific body slots where you can equip items that fit it. Also weight system per character also like in Xcom. This would be in addition to items you are wearing on yourself but items you wear will give you more of less space to carry other items.

E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy have that (no weight though).
Its extremely annoying to manually put all that ammo into you pockets.

due to a lack of experience on their part

Bioware had very little experience when they started working on BG. CDPR didn't make any games (only localizations) before TW1. OTOH, the team behind TToN was exceedingly experienced. There's no clear correlation between seniority and the ability to make great video games.

I'm not saying I expect this game to be flawless. But it's always a possibility (until the telltale signs of failure begin to show up).

Replace senior with senile and you might be on to something.

Kind of like in The Witcher 1?
Of course, there was rarely good reason to pick stuff up. Non-Witcher equipment had very little value and there were none armor drops. Alchemy inventory was large, though.

That image is too small for human use (and too dark). And is it also a good RPG?

 

[Iznaliu]

Divinity: Original Sin technically had this, but weight limit was quite large so it wasn't an issue unless you were a hoarder.
