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

Oh right. I would be curious to see someone do it to. I just interrupted the ritual and fought the mage instead of the beast.

Nah... you let the beast come out and trash it's face like a man.

Spoiler

So far Force Reality does NOT get rid of its stuff. Not sure if that's a feature or a bug.

 

[ga♥]

Fucking rotating camera sucks. What did they think? We will do a MOTB2 after this?

 

[None]

It's baffling how unlikable the majority of the characters in this game are. A literal invasion from hell is occurring, and I have no desire in working with 80% of the inhabitants of this dumbass city.

You'd think the overall theme would lean towards gothic horror, but no, we've got to contend with the same quirky and mentally stunted audience as Tumblr.

At least the combat is fun.

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.

A LITTLE WORDY SOMETIMES?

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

I had quite low expectations given what I heard about the beta-versions, but I'm still amazed how fucking sloppy the writing is, especially compared to Kingmaker which was quite tightly written and didn't really have too much excess dialogue. Has someone checked the credits if they replaced the writing team?

I honestly just went in there and started blasting. Half expected owlcat to make it impossible if the ritual finishes like the kingmaker situation with the wisp or early owlbears. Did I miss anything cool?

They still let backers write quests I think.

Kingmaker writing was, I would say, good. Now the thing is, the setting is retarded, crusade against demons make little sense, not sure the writing is on the team.

Yeah. That's a pozzo problem.

the Wintersun location can fuck right off.

Or rather, the spectre encounters can. The ol' village idiot leader was a joke.

Hey, a munchkin-y question - if I create my char as an oracle, afterwards spec it into paladin (half of levels oracle, half paladin) AND get the angel mythic path - would I be able to merge oracle's and angel spellbooks and would my levels in angel fully add to oracle's caster level? And at 20 character level - would the oracle have 20 caster level (10 oracle and 10 angel)?

 

[The_Mask]

A significant amount of EXP, for the level. Very rewarding, as far as I'm concerned.

Don’t take that which does not belong to you if you’re not prepared to face the consequences.

If you want to munchkin don’t fart around with Paladin.

 

[Volourn]

Finally got chance at mythic powers... at level 6. Mixed bag. Some powers are rather uber and others are pure shit. LMAO Also, the game cries that I need to pick a mythic class but the only 'option's mythic hero which maes sense I hear you don't get to choose your actual mythic class til later... so stop harassing me.

That last 'battle' with the dwarf and his 'sexy' demon lover is bullcrap. Build the confrontation, and the game gives you a 'insta win'. WTF? Talk about bullcrap.

That said, out of all the side stories, quests, and writing (and there are some horrible ones), their 'relationship' is the best written. Not that it's a high bar, but still. L0L

So far, the game is playable and fun largely because of character creation and levelling up, and ph@t lewts. Then again, it helps that unlike other idiots, I ain't playing wi8th the laughable npcs. :D

 

[smaug]

Yea, that last CH1 fight is garbo, should have been a real battle.

 

[LannTheStupid]

This is high praise in my book.

 

[AwesomeButton]

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.

I see that what I said has gone completely over your head.

 

[Ibn Sina]

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!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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

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.

Soy consumers and cockroach milk drinkers. Wretched gluttons of all types of degenerate media, and the biggest reason for the accelerated degeneracy you witness in every type of entertainment medium.

Ok, I reached the crystal decision, 3rd floor of Gay Garrison.

Let me take just a minute to note how moronic of the story writers it is to decide that humans and celestials would combine their forces, for the supremely important task of designing a protective system against the abyss, and should be so dumb as to design a system with a single point of failure. If this obelisk breaks the whole barrier goes down. Amazing writing.

Other than that, I think someone on the writing team unintentionally described Russian society and history in two-three paragraphs:

Once again the clearly more evil decision is to prolong the suffering of those who suffer, by choosing the superficially "good" course of action. I don't know if they realized that, and I should give them points for it, or not.

AwesomeButton I wholeheartedly embrace the power of GULAG and comrade Stalin.

chapter 2 question

Spoiler

did some1 manage to kill blightmaw rt? Tried 5 times on core and not even close

Remind me which battle was blightmaw?

drezen summon ritual guy

I did by on Core by leaning on the Paladin Summons from the "pre-angel" Mythic Path and have them tank the damage. They appear to be 100% invulnerable to Blightmaw's attacks. I didn't realize this was the case at first (just wanted more buffer to throw into the blender), but yeah, it made the encounter pretty doable. Felt a little cheesy, but I feel like with other summons you can put enough on him to have time to focus him down. Really the only problem is surviving his huge hits.

Had my casters focus on dispelling his true-seeing. I couldn't land any Hexes but they basically stood back and threw everything at him. His touch AC is pretty crap too but I didn't have anything to really exploit that with.

In terms of actually hitting him and doing damage, My straight Paladin + Seelah used Smite Evil stacked with a whole bunch of buffs. I had a scroll of Holy Weapon which I used on Lann (I think alternatively any Good aligned weapon or the spell will work too against the DR but I wanted the extra damage).

So, two questions for muchkins, a) Is it true that liches use charisma instead of constitution for fortitude checks and HP? b) Do Mythic paths continue gaining BAB so you can continue gaining more attacks?

Searched this everywhere and so far, I'm stuck 5hs on the character generator after my first failures, respeccing is too decline and besides I'm fearful of the game blowing up if I try that. Interesting, 2/3 of my time so far were on the character generator, when I start playing, I get bored then restart the character generator to wasting more time generating characters that I wont probably play. The character generation is too much crack for my muchkin brain.
