Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Game of the Year Edition

[Average Manatee]

Angel and Demon are the two paths that are always available and tie into a war of angels vs. demons, it only makes sense that they have the most content.

 

[Desiderius]

The other ones have a good bit too, it's only the late game ones they skimped on, which seems to be the pattern. P:K KM was also unfinished.

 

[Nerevar]

How much of a boss is Kestoglyr he just pounces into a pack of guys and they explode.

 

[EdgyRightWinger]

That said I can definitely understand that implementing a full MR3->10 path probably takes 5-10x the effort of what the late game mythics take. If we're stuck with late game mythics then they just needed to have more relevant and interesting content for Act 5 pre-threshold. Inevitable Excess is... really not what anyone wanted, I think.

I'd accept a zero-content version of the Legend path if it just let me play as legend from the start.

 

[Haplo]

In short, kind of cool but still feels half-baked. I don't feel weaker, which is what I was worried about,

That's because you haven't experienced the end-game Aeon powers: Move Action abilities and casting, Selective Zero State with Quicken Rod, other high level spells like Edict of Impenetrable Fortress / Invulnerability, Freezing Nothingness (can't cast spells on successfull save... Areelu anyone?), Black Hole, Perfect Form, De-Mythification...

If they wanted to make a game about becoming mythic hero and eventually a demigod by exploiting the working sof the universe in subtle ways they should have set it in Glorantha instead of Golarion.

Different setting, different company.
Owlcat had license from Paizo. Paizo does not own HeroQuest.
As such, Owlcat could not set it in Glorantha, even if they wanted to.

 

[MartinK]

They could very likely get the licence for cheap. Stafford supposedly really wanted a Glorantha set CRPG to be made and for core Chaosium staff he’s a diety.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I mean it's a fun idea, and very anti-Sawyerian. Instead of 1.75% bonus damage on levelups , every once in a while you get somethng broken as shit.

Probably. But that would have to be for another game.
Doesn't Hasbro own HeroQuest now?

Just promise to make everything black and ghey and they’d pay you to take it.

Spoiler

Messing around with Lantern King on an archived save, look at this. +7 bonus from Studied Target. Slayer 20 on this character btw. Any ideas?

 

[Aphex81]

I played 5 hours of this trash before i gave up. I mean, i will buy crpgs on principal alone but i would really like something good for once. The writing is some of the worst i have ever seen. Walls of exposition and cringe. The gameplay is utter trash. Prebuff, watch them hit stuff every 3 seconds. Clunky movement, clunky camera...such a slog. I guess a "spiritual successor" of Dragon Age Origins is too hard to pull off. Also Unity, God please someone kill this engine already and put it out of it's miserable existence.

 

[Nirvash]

ok give me mod now to remove swarm bullshit.

It’s different HeroQuest. Heroquest is a type of complex magic ritual in Glorantha (default Runequest setting), while HeroQuest is a fantasy tabletop game for kids.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

Aphex81 Agreed on the exposition. I click through the walls of dialogue in WotR more than any other game I can recall.

 

[Average Manatee]

Reading all lines of dialog in WotR is the real unfair difficulty.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

HeroQuest is a fantasy tabletop game for kids.

Nice furniture though.
Also obligatory

You can use metamagic on mythic spells? I did not know that.

 

[Nirvash]

No really, i'm supposed to play this real time like kingmaker or turn?

Cuz i can already see alot of bullshit damage calc and movement, like the swarms can 100-0 my full party in a single turn.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I found it plays better on TB, if a bit slower. There's too much bullshit going on to play RTwP comfortably.
I wish they had an actual speed button like in Pillars. Tactical Time Flow feels rubbish to use.

Yes. Completely Normal Spell Trick Fate is rather good as well...

Switch to RTWP to cheese swarms

They deserve it

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I thought TB is what you use to cheese swarms?

 

[Average Manatee]

Depends on what strategy you want to use. TB is for more of a "fair" fight.
