Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Desiderius]

Auto kingdom broke a lot of stuff in KM as well, even a few patches in.

Someone released a mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/pathfinderwrathoftherighteous/mods/40) on nexus that lets you just auto-win crusade battles, so probably better to just use that if you hate the crusade mechanics.

How are people having trouble with Crusade? It’s way easier than beta. Still buggy here and there which is annoying (OC QA are storyphags) but nothing gamebreaking if you make sure your number is higher than things you’re attacking. As long as you keep banners green, don’t lose troops and don’t overspend on mercs you can use skip day if necessary to build up your forces.

I haven’t had to yet since I’ve figured out to take multiple trips to optional areas to configure spells and reload.

The system is dogshit, it's boring as fuck, with 0 depth and blocks your story progression. Bunch of quest location being put behind demon fortress and you need a big ass army to clear the path. But you get so little soliders every week you need wait a long ass time to build your army, and good luck "dont' lose troops" when the flying units just straight up flying to your archers and destroy them.

I bought this game to play pathfinder, not a shitt version that plays worse than even HoMM 1.

And you can't even turn it auto because it breaks bunch of shit.

Can't you cheat engine more troops in?

Yes. Press skip day.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

So I've been told my reading skills are lacking, and they may well be, because now that I've re-read Leading Strike, it appears that feat not only has no limit on the number of marks you can stack in a single round, it's also worded as if merely attacking (and not actually hitting) triggered the extra damage. The last part is probably just my early onset dementia talking, but even if it requires a hit, it still seems kinda good, especially if you have reliable means of triggering a bunch of AOOs between your frontliners.

Fuck, I didn't expect to be so invested in munchkining this game. I certainly didn't feel like doing that in Kingmaker.

How is it possible to suck this bad? Army battles are faceroll.

You can get help sucking less or you can whine and cry and break your game. Your choice.

Kingmaker is a slog, here the pacing and encoutner design keeps you interesed (up until taking the Grey Garrison at least)

 

[Desiderius]

She cares - she actually enjoys all the bloodshed around, as per her VO.

Also, Camellia might be in a particularly good mood when you find her underground. There is an... interesting corpse nearby, and Seelah even comments on that.

Alas, to notice such things one needs to akshually read the dialogues in the game instead of REEEE'ing about writing.

One can do both.

 

[smaug]

So, I’ve done one crusade battle and I’m just exploring the map, am I slowly fucking my self?

Haven’t done another one because armies are on top of each other and I can’t combine them. Bugs are too difficult.

 

[Shadenuat]

Wow such genius writing

name another d&d game where companions alignment is actually hidden.
and no, Kreia doesn't count.

might be one of the first ones where devs actually bothered to do something like this.

(Man I can't believe I am defending companion I personally reserve as first one to go into skeleton transformation pit; that's how bad our critical thinking crowd is tho)

Truly a hardcore RPG experience.

No, I meant the literally bug flies.

Who says it's hard? It's boring and lack depth. There is no control zone, no retaliate, you can't change your troops position before the combat starts, and it took forever to kill some of your enemy because they have huge amount of health but do little damage. And you can't even see what the passives of your troops actually do.

Oh you can skip a bunch of days to build a massive army, such a masterful skill. Not shit it proves how little thoughts actually went into the system and how ahrd they are forcing you to play it.

 

[Riddler]

I've got to say, all these endless trashfights are wearing me down. They are not quite mindless enough to just breeze through but they are repetitive and without any semblance of challenge if you actually bother to buff your dudes.

For the next game they really should go for turnbased and remove all the trash fights, and I'm saying this as someone who likes RrwP.

Is it hidden tho? Really? Her writing is like -4 dimensional. Fanfic resentment of rich hot chick bleeds thru every line.

Mechanically she's just hard to go without though, perfect switch out with Aru.

Ah. Not really related, but that reminds me of IWD 2 where...

Spoiler

I got killed by the cats of some old lady when I tried to kill the latter in the starting zone. Fun times.

 

[oldmanpaco]

• Swarms dealt damage each time they touched a unit instead of once per round - fixed

heh

 

[LannTheStupid]

asking for a friend

where would one go to submit a tip to the russian police about someone publishing pro-lgbt propaganda aimed towards children?

The game is rated "Mature 17+" by ESRB. So it is up to parents or guardians of a minor to protect children from that. Probably, if you snitch on the studio to Russian authorities the parents will be the first to suffer, not Owlcat Games.

To get massive you'd run down your morale so there's some interplay there. Haven't had to do that so don't know. You've got to figure out when to hire mercs and when not to, then use the free recruitment button to find new cheap ones, then you end up with enough stacks to do real damage. My fights have taken five or six rounds max. Definitely agree that I hope they keep implementing HoMM features, maybe in DLC.

Penetrating Strike working should be big help.

First and foremost they should stop tiying themselves with preestablished APs and make something original, preferably in no way related to Paizo altogether

Where are all these trash fights? Three or four per rest isn't all that much.

Judging by who they chose as their spokesphag they might be worse. Wokels are commies and Rus had 70 years of that up the ass.

Amazing the whole fanboy squad turned up. Did the shill alarm go off?

Would have been cool except only a retard doesn't immeadiatly conclude that only someone who is evil has any reason to hide their alignment in this setting.

It's like a shitty Impostor in Among Us.

 

[Lacrymas]

This just makes it obvious she's shifty, though. The extent of her shiftiness isn't clear, but if you've had a cursory interest in the development you know how far her perversions go.

Not to mention that partaking in cannibalism spells it out quite obviously.

Fucking everywhere. For instance I was just starting the chapel and I get ambushed by three different groups of regular gargoyles on the way up the mountainside. This isn't fun, it isn't difficult, it's tedious.

They've buit themselves a name - no need to pay rent for using Paizo's APs anymore, at the very least (because I'm 100% sure they want to keep milking that 3.5) they can make an agreement and do an original game with 3.5 unrelated to Pathfinder universe.

Where in Drezen does Hilor or whatever he's called hide? The guy you hire mercenaries from.

EDIT: Found the cunt on the second floor of the inn.
