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

[Parabalus]

General Ice Storm spell is bugged and doesn't slow enemy movement.

Bugs encountered so far:
- None of the animal companions that should have more than 2 attacks actually have those. For example, a Bear gets 2 claw attacks instead of 2 claw attacks + bite.
- Post patch 1.0.0c some animal companions gained unarmed attacks.
- Whenever you shapeshift as a Druid and then click on the character the framerate completely tanks. As soon as you click on someone else, it stops.
- Any area with fire effects (not light effect in general) has constant frame drops.

The last two ones made me quit. Sorry, I want to actually play as a shapeshifter.

Taking a -3 morale hit from the siege flag every day, despite not being besieged. Good ol' release state Pathfinder.

For me it only shows the claw attacks in the character tab, but the bite is there as well in-combat. It's a merc though and not my main, don't know if that matters.

I play day 1 release Pathfinder by writing my characters in notepad.exe

It doesn't count unless you capture the flag.

So, any way to get pounce on a non-animal without having to play (ugh) Kitsune?

Skald can share rage powers. Take the beast totem line to get it. This may have been answered already as I am 55 pages behind.

Yeah, it does. On my main character (and I've made several to test), a Bear companion only has 2 claw attacks, whilst a Smilodon has 1 claw attack + bite.

By the way, is it just me, or is the game skewed towards an Azata player, with more content, reactivity, and even unique items early on, like the summoning tankard in Kenabres?

How bad are the bugs? Some of the steam reviews make it sound completely unfinished. Should I just wait for the enhanced edition?

it can probably be finished with work arounds. not worth playing atm.

With a wizard MC, I need to fight creatures with magic resistance and resistances to fire, acid and cold (and immunity to electricity) from the very beginning of the game. This pushes me towards buffing and ground-targeted spells if I want to be effective in combat at all.

I'm playing as an electro kineticist. Didn't expect all demons which are 2/3 of all enemies in the game to be immune to electricity, my dude is pretty much standing still doing nothing in half of the fights.

That's what Ascended Element is for. It allows you to completely ignore such resistances/immunities.

I'm taking this opportunity to jump into Kingmaker for the first time, shit this game is detailed an stat heavy.

I had to stop playing, due to several mechanics being broken, as well as horrible framerate drops. My PC ran Witcher 3 on Ultra settings, so there's no way in Hell I should be getting any stuttering, much less 25FPS in areas with fire effects of any kind.
To give you an example, one game-breaking bug is your animal companion being counted as a full party member, so then you can only take 4 additional people. You literally can only fix that via the "Toy Box" mod.

it seems that Azata path is the best and most fleshed out of all choices

 

[Stoned Ape]

Aeon seemed satisfying content wise, but I've not tried any of the other starting paths yet.

There's also a surprisingly large amount of Bard-only items in the first two chapters.

The earlier chapters are relatively bug free(although there are bunch of minor bugs regards class features and such).

Later chapters (namely 5 and 6) are buggy as hell because it's not included in the beta.

Yeah, that's why I didn't reroll, hoping to get that or air element for physical blasts, whatever comes sooner. But so far it's suffering on Core.

If you go Lich you can turn them to Negative Energy. Azata Zippy Magic also works to fork them.

What? Outside of his "opening" story event, Aeon has one unique line with Galfrey when you become Knight-Commander, a unique resolution to the Worldstone at Kenabres... and that's it. I stopped before taking Drezen, though, so maybe things turn around? Also, the game is blatantly rushed. Notice that Angel, Aeon, and Azata get nice storybook introductions, whilst Trickster and Demon get jack shit?

 

[Desiderius]

I dont know shit about pathfinder. My bard feels really underpowered, is that normal?

Have you figured out that (unlike BG) you can sing and fight at the same time?

You’ve got Image and a Heavy (Mithril) Shield and don’t have any ranged abilities (and can’t spare the feats) so want to be in melee. Probably should Dazzling Display first round. Dirge Bard good at this, Thunder Bard is just…. not good. Cast the spell if you want that effect. Higher DC and doesn’t burn your performance. Then second round you’re in position to use a Sonic Spell to interrupt a caster or fire off a cone or AoE control spell or do some decent damage with the good weapons in the game.

This game has way more caster support for Bard so you can go Azata for instance and really go off with the Enchants. There is a hilarious staff sling if you really want to go ranged.

You didn't even get to choose your path until the end of the siege of Drezen.

All the mythic path quest and shit only begins in chapter 3.

Aeon definitely has an immense impact on the story, play A3.

Forgot to mention this yesterday, but it was an amusingly unexpected moment.

Spoiler

Poop succubus smears you with her stuff. You get permanent stat mods (+2 natural armour and Con, but -4 Cha for being a stinky bastard)
