Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition - now with The Lord of Nothing DLC

[Stoned Ape]

Played a bit, it's slightly janky at the start. For example everyone holds their weapons pointing backwards in the inventory screen.

You can generate your character and hire 1 mercenary in the beginning. Additional mercs are recruited by rescuing them from islands.

You can plot a route to different islands to collect different rewards (including permanent level 2 stat boost spelll effects, extra XP, mercenary recruit, ect) these rewards are shown before you explore the islands.

All monsters so far are worth 1XP, and you get some extra for skill checks. Most XP is rewarded for clearing islands.

Cleared 2 islands so far, both trivial difficulty (first had 1 centipede/fly/spider per room, second had pairs of kobolds).

can you get anything usefull for the main campaign?

not sure. I think you can do a version of the DLC in the main campaign, there will probably be a few exclusive items when you do.

Do you start at level 1?

If you start over with 2 characters every time that seems like massive incline for cool self sufficient builds over optimizing your entire party to buff a single front liner.

How is resting limited?

Yes, level 1

The difficulty at the beginning is pretty low, so I imagine any build would be able to do pretty well through the first map (A map has about 10 islands on it, you can visit 3-4 of them in a run). I imagine things will get more difficult after then.

I've only found one rest spot, on the ship you travel on. It generates abyssal corruption VERY quickly.

You can only save at 'anchor points' found on the map. Very FF VII.

 

[Stoned Ape]

Crossed swords = mercenary

HP+ = Healing Wind

Statue = random buff until end of expedition

'Tower' = clear corruption

Coins = Treasure

torso +1 = +1 increase to random attribute

I was thinking about starting a new run, but EE is coming out in a month, and saves probably won't be compatible. So a month it is.

Also:

New content? Oo
Have they said what kind of content?

No, but I found this on yt:

So probably info on new content is coming together with info on season pass 2.

uh do these bonuses stay with you in the main campaign?

I'm not sure TBH, don't have a save in a convenient place to check!

 

[The_Mask]

In any case, this DLC is pretty heavy. I left home while it was downloading, and it had some Gb's to it.

You… didn’t have to do this in the first place. Not an MMO.

 

[Haplo]

Damn, they made Mythic Weapon Finesse only work for finessable weapons... and obviously forgot to include Fighter's Finesse Trained weapons there.
Makes it kinda useless. As well as my new build.
Thanks Owlcats!

Oh well, maybe the creator of the Tabletop Tweaks will be willing to fix this sooner, I'll ask.

 

[Desiderius]

Vek is the de facto Discord mod. They need to just hire people like Vek and Holic to take over the miserable post-release development.

 

[Supermedo]

Wait I thought everybody was kidding about season pass 2, I wish their DLC either expand or takes after the main campaign.

 

[ga♥]

So, you start at level 1 in the DLC even if you do it in the main campaign?

I don't think so. Just if you start the DLC as a stand-alone game.

 

[Lambach]

The pace with which you gain Mythic Levels is pretty screwed. You get only a single level-up during the whole of Chapter 3, then you have to go through like 90% of Chapter 4 without a single one, only to start getting bombarded with them afterwards. It makes those later levels feel a lot less hard-earned and individually impactful.

Spoiler

so that's like 15-ish hours between Mythic 5 and 6, then 2-3 hours between Mythic 6 and 7 and less than an hour between 7 and 8. Not sure how it is for other Paths, but I also jumped to 9 in 2 in-game weeks or about an hour of real-time by killing Mephistopheles during the Azata Chapter 5 Mythic Quest.

Also, and I guess this is mostly a dumb nitpick but still, some of the events during which you get a level up seem pretty anti-climactic. Wouldn't it have made more sense, drama-wise, to give you that Level 5 just before you're about to face off against the "Boss" of Chapter 3, i.e. that Balor in Midnight Fane, rather than while taking a stroll afterwards? Or give you level 6 just before or after the culmination of your Path's Mythic quest in Chapter 4, rather than having the "Hey, touch this energy vortex to level up, bro" thing happen instead?

Spoiler

I mean, I really kinda expected to be rewarded with more Azata power after I've performed an epic feat worthy of one, i.e. annihilating one of the biggest slave markets in all of the Abyss, but guess not

You're already merking Demon Lords during the Main Campaign, going beyond that to continue it might be a bit overkill.

 

[Desiderius]

"The effects of buffs and negative statuses now pause during cutscenes"

Big

"Fixed metamagic for Corrosive Touch, Shocking Grasp, Touch Of Gracelessness, Frigid Touch, Force Punch, Vampiric Touch, Bestow Curse, Contagion, Touch Of Slime"

How is this just now getting attention? Has nobody Owlcat knows played a Magus?

"Pentamic Faith discipline now has Hellknight Order of the Godclaw prerequisit instead of the Godclaw faith"

Explaining why MC HK's mysteriously couldn't get it.

I feel like I kinda had to to match the crazy THC, damage and AC of lategame bosses/enemies.

Yes.

You felt like you had to since you were putting all your eggs in one basket instead of designing around team synergies. Six threats > one.

Just use AoE buffs and attack their weaknesses. Playful for instance is a Vivi and if you've ever played one you know they're a glass cannon. No Uncanny Dodge, no Mind-immunity so can be Intimidated, etc... Break the glass.

There are a good many no save debuffs as well. Short duration, but there are no bullet sponges so that's all you should need.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Tailwinds in rogue-lite mode provide interesting incentives to custom build your party on each dungeon restart.

E.g.
All dwarves gain +1 constitution score for each dwarf in the party(including themselves).

Nature based (primal druid, sylvan sorc/trickster, hunt caller, feral champion, sacred huntsmaster) characters heal damage with each kill (didn't choose this one, and couldn't go back in the menu, so I may have the details wrong here.)

Apparently, there are quite a few of these...

Intimidate roll isn't exactly easy if don't super min-max AFAIR.
Plus you'd need to dispel it first, as it has Greater Heroism AFAIR.

Finnean with Brilliant Energy is very helpful. As are Hex debuffs and other debuffs.

Thank you for the extra slot bar for spells.
Thanks. It was insane to manage spells and I'm so satisfied now with this.

That is exactly what I wanted if true.
