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

[archaen]

So for the people who paid money to beta test: How are Paladins handled? Do you actually need to follow the Paladin code (Ala ToEE)? Do alignment shifts within game even exist (yet?)?

If you leave lawful good you fall.

How much SJW crap will be in this game?

 

[fantadomat]

Hopefully none or killable.

 

[frajaq]

They cant have too much of it or they'll get raided by russian police

Russia's honour is at stake. Let's hope they at the very least don't fall on the SJW "trap".

 

[Alienman]

I just remember in some interview or something they promised to be "inclusive". So we will see what that means

Steam page. Yes, Deep Silver is publishing partner of My.com:



These screenshots are new, I guess?

I can't say that I like the artstyle very much, it feels like WoW, but I guess I've been spoiled by the 2D backgrounds of some recent RPGs. Not that it matters that much, but it doesn't hit the feels.

 

[Theldaran]

WoW is fine to me. It's not really the style, it's the experience. For example, I like manga drawings but I despise JRPG like those from Idea Factory/Compile Heart. They suck.

Considering that this is Russian developed, how shitty is the translation?

What translation? Isn't it natively in English? Isn't Avellone and other similar Western writers providing the text? The direction, production, actual drudgery work is Russian, but the text doesn't have to be.

Avellone isn't the only writer working on the game.

 

[Infinitron]

They have some westerners helping out but the lead writer (conspicuously hidden during the Kickstarter campaign, when they made it seem like Avellone was their only writer) is a Russian dude named Alexander Komzolov. Ex-Nival guy.

 

[Theldaran]

I don't know what language will the original script be, but they're jointly doing it in a variety of languages.

English should be fine, other languages such as German could be more messy because that actually needs a translation, I don't think that the Russian studio speaks German natively.

After playing the Atom early access i came to appreciate how bad translation and editing from non native english speaking devs can fuck up an experience.

Owlcat Games' kickstarter page seems alright, it seems they know their English as decent modern men living in the 21st century.

I think I remember that too. If it's bad , lots of other games to play. This stuff is just killing so many industries now.

 

[Urthor]

Man this game and we happy few, so happy there are good games coming out in August. means that only June and July are barren months this year.

“We have ambitious plans for Pathfinder: Kingmaker. We want to reach out to the maximum number of players across the globe, making it easily accessible, whilst at the same time maintaining the expected quality, to do right by its fanbase. Working with Deep Silver ensures we can step up our retail marketing and benefit from the unique experience offered with KOCH,” said Head of Owlcat Games Oleg Shpilchevsky.

So it's about the boxed versions, as I suspected?

It does not feel like WoW to me at all.

I think Deep Silver doing both. They list Deep Silver as the publisher instead of My.com at Steam page.

Boxed only is probably not very interesting for publishing PC games (and often enough just means putting a piece of paper with a steam key in a box).

 

[Jenkem]

no no no I can't pre-order another RtwP game to play at launch like PoE 2, what if the same bullshit happens

it's called kickstarter

 

[Jenkem]

How daring you to be give insult of glorious Russian nation and be imply that they cannot English. Very offensively.

How much SJW crap will be in this game?

Russia doesn't do SJW - that's why I like 'em so much. Haven't met a single one yet that disappointed me. Even if they managed to pull the wool over our eyes with how involved MCA was in this title, I'm hoping it will be at least as good as IWD1 with a better stronghold system than NWN2. So worth at least full price for me.
