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

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

Yo, what do people do with Regill? I kinda wanna put him on a Smilodon, but I also kinda wanna see if I can make Fearsomeness work, because the image of a gnome Chad putting the fear of reasonable military practices into people is kinda funny.

<gay twat>
Single-handedly convinced me to never touch this piece of shit even with a 10 foot pole, thanks.

What's next - adhering to IGN reviews on the question of what to play?

 

[Desiderius]

Watching a stack of gargoyles and a stack of clerics hit each other for 5 minutes straight is peak HoMM gameplay ngl

You phags have to be trolling. It shouldn’t be possible to suck that bad.

Three rounds tops.

There’s what a five year(?) band of players who can’t tell the difference between their play sucking and the game sucking. I mean they’re like “man this hot sauce sux I’m even using a baster to get it all the way up my ass and all it does is burn. People who say it tastes good are shills.”

Was it the dumbed down MMOs?

He’s really good straight up with Leading Strike because of the weapon you find outside chapel and Oath is good because AoE Morale AC is rare and it goes up to +3.

Desiderius I just reached lvl 5 after the Tavern defence, and found out that Ember is an INT-based caster with an INT score of 12 and a CHA score of 18. Someone at Owlcat likes them well done I guess. So I'm thinking of starting to take levels in Sorcerer to put that Charisma to work. Anything you would recommend?

Lacrymas the cleric faggot thing is a bug lol,it happened again,the dude just spams me with propositions now,also every time he takes me out of me council room and then teleports me out of the map when the event ends.

End result of fucking around with char building and theorycrafting. I wanted a bow char, and I made myself one.
Mutagen Fighter 20 with Trickster 10. No magical items apart from a simple Composite Longbow. So during actual play it'd have bigger numbers.
All selfbuffs from having access to Wizard 20 spell-book. Have a ton of spell slots too, due to Abundant Casting mythic feats.
A 19-20 bow would get me 13-20 crit range (so 45% crit chance before confirmation). Also has 5d6 Sneak Attack.
-9 AB due to size and Deadly Aim.

A melee reach weapon like the one with 18-20 range would be better, but meh

The character system is quite fun to tinker with, too bad about the game that comes with it...

 

[Thonius]

So, what's the verdict? Is it worth a playthrough? Better or worse than Kingmaker?

If you like to have an obnoxious, preachy, pride parade manifesto that constantly takes a piss in your ear while screaming about carpet munching, then go right ahead. There is a lot of build autism and false choice in the game. A lot of shills are outright lying about the reactivity. Gender, Race, and Class are not even acknowledged except in some token lip service here and there, nothing compared to BG3 where entire attitudes of people and groups shifts depending on your race. 40% of the classes and sub classes are pure filler and paper thin, they could be cut and the game would be even a better and tighter experience for it.

A shit game shilled by deviants and homo russian nationalists.

Yes. Real reactivity related to Mythics, BG3 certainly set standards for reactivity right out of the box (in your face, same as bloodlines), too bad it's 5E...

Stigmatized Witch uses charisma, not intelligence, other Witch subclasses are INT-based.

She's got a Stigmatized Witch archetype that uses CHA... duh! Same as Magus Eldritch something from INT to CHA. No idea why they (owlcats) got so much hard on for DEX and CHA builds.

She shouldn’t be. Base Witch is INT but her class is CHR which is why she’s spontaneous.

Everything about that HoMM battle minigame screams cheap, made over the course of a single weekend, by interns, who work for food. The UI is fucking atrocious, the unit icons were probably made with some batch renderer script, then those general models towering with stock idle animations, don't even start me on the fucking battlefields. Holy shit do they have no shame, whoever greenlit this shamefurr dispray should commit fucking sudoku. It's fucking pathetic. Would it have killed them to boot HoMMV. which they so proudly claim as being developers of, and look how it fucking needed to be done. Imagine going to an expensive restaurant and they give you plastic dishes, wtf I have no words

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

I've just cleared Lepper's Smile and it's pure decline. After some locations that actually tried some clever enemy placement we're back to Owlcat's usual practice of spamming same 2-3 enemy types through the map and calling it a day.

Worry not! The next game will include 3 new STRAT layers. It will be epic!

Did you not use Smite Evil?

Should take less than 1 min.

 

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

I'm not sure which location that would be.

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

Respeced Regill into shield basher with the weapon focus for close weapons. Seems like it already outperforms the shit memebuild Owlcat or Pozzo botched his build with and double weapons hook hammer meme build. Good thing fighter has all those bonus feats.

Everything about that HoMM battle minigame screams cheap...

The more I play and think over some of the gameplay and design aspects in this game, the more I think to myself "How weren't they ashamed of inserting this / doing that?". The "minigame" is definitely one of those things. When I reached the point of my clerics and gargoyles taking 6 million turns to scratch each other into the warm embrace of death, I literally spoke out loud: "How dare they?". The game obviously had next to zero internal and external QA.

 

[Parabalus]

Okay, so whenever my armies are on top of each other on the map I click the I (for inventory) button where you can assign a general. If I click the split it brings up an army that I don’t have which is crusader army IV? Even though I only have crusader army 1/2/3 there all on top of each other so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Am I fucked here or can I get around it somehow? I can’t join my armies together.

Saving and quitting does nothing.

Parabalus

You sure you don't have IV? Left bottom corner.

At the start you can only have 3 units in your army, that isn't it?

Barring that try to get to C3, might fix it.

No, I only have 3 armies. When I try to bring up split armies between one, crusader army 4 shows up with nothing, if I transfer units it becomes an army and the one that now has no units is gone and comes up again if I do the same thing except vice versa. I can’t win all the demon fights with such a weak army so it seems either auto-mode or start over.

I can’t get to drezen unless I kill the armies.

Try opening up your save in a text editor, look for "army" and manipulate the numbers. Or do the same with Cheat Engine.

Shield Bash build was my fav for unded elf girl what's her name in PFK. It's really solid feat-heavy though.

How dare you suck that bad and then blame the game. How do you ever learn anything with that approach?

Did the thought ever cross your mind that you’re missing something? They already made it faceroll compared to the beta. Would you only be happy with autowins?

I mean what fucking planet are you people from. You start sucky. Then you suck less. That’s the fun.

You want faceroll play your browser shit.

 

[Erebus]

Even by Codexian standards, I think that people are focusing way too much on "wokist" elements. It's not exactly the game's main problem.

Gender, Race, and Class are not even acknowledged except in some token lip service here and there

That was already the case in Kingmaker, mind you.

If you think that minigame is anything of remotely any quality whatsoever, you might as well donate your brain to science, because you sure as hell ain't using it.
