Don't know why everyone keeps saying the writing is so bad. Read a bit and it seemed fine. A little wordy sometimes but it's standard video game fare. Is it just the lgbt stuff and people are expanding that to everything? Bias. You guys complain more and cry more than the lefties.

Aeon path is pretty cool. I can go around and see if people have committed crimes and accuse them of crimes but my powers aren't strong enough to know what crimes specifically. Accused Camila and her father both of committing crimes without any proof and they both told me off. Might actually read more of what's happening.

Is it really the guy you love, or the fact that he's a self-insert of someone who can't stand the giant idiotic plotholes of the main story? :M

He is a interesting character. A very lawful character. Hence he is right that someone climbing so high in the chain of command makes no sense. The story is the worst aspect of this game. If was up to me, instead of the epic beginning, I would write something like the city was taken by demons and the party as slaves and the chapter 1 would be around escaping the slavery. They will find a underground rebelion using a "cell" structure(similar to Veiled alliance in Athas) and guerrilla warfare, cuz they are weaker than the demons.

The initial quests would be all about gathering supplies to the rebels, freeing slaves and getting clues about an ancient artifact. In chapter 2 you will meet rumors that the hell knights fleed to a demiplane and after getting in contact with they, a huge internal conflict will happen cuz the hell knights are all about order and discipline and the rebels wanna a decentralized structure. Both needs each other and at the same time, can't get along with each other. Only after gathering a lot of resources and personnel, you would be able to attack the city and only after it, you will march to drezen. IMO would be much better gameplay wise and story wise.

Jade empire seems cool. And they can have the women you escort as a romance option for all the weebs and pathetic losers. They'll eat that shit up.

I don't like the tone. Dragon Age Origins had a good tone in my book, it gave off the right mood.

Sycamore tree > gray warden or whatever it's called.

Troll city > drezen invasion.

One thing kingmaker excelled at was making sure there was a solid dungeon and boss at the end of each chapter. None of this saved by mysterious powers after every battle and never getting to actually kill the boss yourself. I guess that would be an example of really bad writing.

A LITTLE WORDY SOMETIMES?

I'd say approximately 90% of the words in each dialogue should be cut.

Keep at it and she’ll eventually start pulling her weight. Probably smart to focus more on her casting and skill monkeying than damage - you’ve got Lann for that.

Try Cleaving Shot.

Her spells, I focus more on support. Animal growth is amazing for animal companions. I already have spellcasters in my party.

I have to admit that one of the boxes I read was 4 sentences and they all said the exact same thing. Dialogue is fine though, it's just their descriptions and the greyed out text that becomes too much sometimes.

I'm mostly jerking your chain, but also serious. By spells I mean buffs not casting in combat (although with her CHR you could do that too).

Spamming (Swift Cast) Favored Enemy is good though. It was even stacking.

In any event ZA11 Lann will in fact be criitting well over 100 by that time and doing 30-50 per shot. With Cleaving it gets stupid.

Meredoth in chapter 4 , how did you complete the lich path quest ? After using the crystal it summons some demons and a deathsnatcher, impossible to kill it, using positive energy spells does not get rid of its regneration.

I was not able to bypas their regeneration too. My solution? Using spells which damage attributes

Try a huge domain of hungry flash spam. If I remember correctly they aren't immune to attribute damage.

The story presents itself as a grimdark crusade where around every corner the hero is tempted into becoming the very thing they swore to defeat (or worse!), but when it comes time to actually explore that premise it just defaults to typical boilerplate fantasy RPG banality with the same character archetypes and plotlines you've seen a million times before with an added dash of grating irreverent humor at inappropriate moments and completely unearned heartstring pull moments that fall flat.
The ingredients for something good is here but it's uninterested in following through, when the game is so unengaged with it's own premise it's hard for the player to be.

Hey Orc Dyke, here's your heirloom. Oh, you had to sell it because your wife had a treatment.
A treatment... Oh... Oh no.
She sold her father's scabbard... to pay for estrogens.

just look at these drones :)



Yeah, I'm downloading the Day 1 Patch here as well. See you boys in 3 months when I have an opinion on this.

*Sorin throws a smoke bomb*

BYE!

ITS ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

May your playthrough be pleasant and furrrrrfilling.

See on the other side, bros! I'm going in - deep - and without caution.

You should play.

Give it to me straight, folks. How buggy is it? Is it playable? I can't deal with another Kingmaker release.

My Notebook didn't exploded when i started the game. Lets freaking go.

DOWNLOAD FASTER YOU FUCKING BITCH DUNKIN DONUTS WIFI

The number of classes and kits.... hnnnggggg.

Lol I’m gonna fuck myself hard, going legend so I’ll be out of a mythic path for a while, wish me luck
:hero:

Downloading now. I don't mind admitting I'm quite excited :)

Holy shit this looks like it's popular. Hopefully it'll make the suits sit up and take notice - although they'll probably get the wrong end of the stick and think it shows that we want more one-legged demiboy vampires in our videogames :)

Started as a grenadier. Need more bombs to spread the will of Gorum
:argh:

Thank you Owlcat for allowing me to make a Cavalier with a Triceratops mount. That spares me from agonizing over which class to choose.

Damn, the music on starting screen is EPIC! I think I will start by listening to that for 10 minutes or so :D

Monk squad reporting in:
Some books are lacking covers. I repeat: some books are lacking covers.


Based. Kill many an orc child and enslave many an elf, hero.

First impression - I can't have a beard while I'm a woman. Literally unplayable.

I'm stuck at the character creation. Help!

Infinitron split the thread man, lets start a new.
