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

[Gangrelrumbler]

Was it ever explained why the bug demon from the intro decided to go chill out after the initial attack?

 

[Jackpot]

Alright this fucking sci-fi dungeon is kicking my shit in, I'm starting to think about leaving and coming back later.

What's the fucking point of having Electricity remove regeneration AND having an Electricity immunity!?

Seelah's a little lame

I agree with pretty much everything you said, except this. Seelah's just the worst, and cannot be defended. Background of poverty and of stealing things for a living that ends up a Paladin with the +2 you gain from human to STR?

I mean... she is literally the worst companion Owlcat had in their games. Black women that were raised in the 'hood can be cops too, yo~!

C'mon... everything else you can defend. Seelah? Not so much. "a little lame" is a serious understatement.

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.

lmao

Did they increase the size of the maps that you adventure on or is it still postage stamp sized?

Yeah,it is very hard dungeon,must have locked it to the wrong chapter. The game does have the worst balance i have seen in an rpg for sure,also attribute and immunity bloat later on.

You hit the nail on the head there

BUT ... if the preaching element were absent, if you just read the story as being about an urchin who got inspired to become a Pally, the writing in and of itself isn't bad (the helmet bit of the story is quite good).

That's what I keep saying about Owlcat games, there are:-

1) the wokeness quotient
2) the actual writing quality

And while 1) is off the charts, as it was with PFK, 2) is actually better than first impressions on account of 1) might lead you to anticipate. Not all of it ofc, some of it's fanfic-ey, but the companions at least are quite well drawn.

Oh god, it's locked to this chapter, I didn't even notice.
This fight doesn't even seem winnable like the one with the snakes did at first.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

just look at these drones

Buy product, get excited for next product.

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.

They did the companions though, right?

And the entire Pathfinder setting is unbelievably gay and stupid. When it's not ripping off D&D (poorly), it's adding in faggots and gender theory.

But Owlcat could have toned things down. They didn't have to push into the spin and make every character a flaming queer.

There are like two hundred ways to ignore enemies' immunities and resistances in this game. Can't you just use Ember's Vulnerability Curse? (it's an honest question, I don't know if this monster is somehow immune to it)

Apparently, you need a good-aligned Adamantine weapon before going for him. Cleric spell Bless Weapon gives good-aligned; so Adamantine either needs to be found, forged or crafted; or you may want to hire, like, a Kineticist with Rare-Metal Infusion.

All of those things are from Kingmaker (as I haven't played Wrath yet); I remember having an adamantine pickaxe exactly for such cases.

From the 30 hours I spent on beta + the 1 hour in release version. It didn't feel like it. I don't know. Maybe it gets better in later chapters. However, when your prologue is boring *and* takes up many hours to slog through. It becomes a pain, so much so that I'd rather not bother. Especially when there's better games out there with much improved gameplay that I can be spending my time on. It's like the Temple in Fallout 2 except extended to ten miserable hours. At least Kingmaker's prologue was relatively painless. Can finish it in about 30 mins then get to exploring the world map.

Use grease or whatever.

What are you doing here, Lann? At least suffer through the prologue.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I haven't played Wrath

You're in this thread more than I am and I actually played this thing.

 

[LannTheStupid]

I played it in beta.

However, now you've got me thinking...

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Some are ok sized. Some are tiny. The market felt pretty big, but it takes you through a winding path.

Thinking that maybe if you're going to fanboy about the game for hours on end and rate people's posts shit for criticizing it, you might want to actually play it?

Well for comparison I'll be using SSI's Secret of the Silver Blades. Are the maps in WOTR bigger, equal to, or smaller than the Ruins map?

 

[Desiderius]

I actually think they did a great job with the companions. Each has a really clear and interesting archetype (based on what I know of them so far).

Ember is Aerie, if Aerie was worth even the tiniest bit of a shit before Throne of Baal. Camellia, Nenio and Daeran all have a bit of mystery to them. Lann is 'Based-good-guy' the Character. Seelah's a little lame and so is Sosiel (so far), but fuck it, that's two strikes in a mess of hits. It's definitely a coincidence that they're both black, LAWL.

The game throws some crazy shit at you, thick and fast. I had a severed head just appear in my inventory (a wtf that the game acknowledges in the description text). There are a ton of great little touches; the music in the Aeon text sections is superb. Load times are quick. QOL has clearly been a focus for WotR. The writing is genuinely solid. The voice acting is good.

The biggest downside for me is how haphazard the combat is in RTWP. So many particle effects, so many moving parts, I just don't have the ability to micromanage the individual characters enough during the larger fights. Luckily, the turn-based option is there when you need more granular control.

Use the v button to advance time. There is no excuse not to have full control if you want it.

lmao. from what I've seen, I doubt the biggest is even half as big.

That's disappointing to hear. That's my one major gripe about Kingmaker. It's the 21st century and the dungeons are postage stamp sized romps while a game from 31 years ago had dungeons ten times bigger on weak hardware.

That's terrible since Secrets of the Silver Blades could run fine on a C64 or a 386/33 MHz PC.

I dunno, I don't have ember with me, just Nenio.
Honestly, finishing off the demons isn't even the hard part, its getting past the 44AC.
Even with all 10 of my buffs up I only get like +25 attack bonus at most on my dps.
And they have such a big health pool, 50 con plus 10 health regen every round.
Maybe I'm just not good enough for core.
