play liches.

I rather play as a vampire. But lich mythic path is not as popular as I tough to be. I mean, is the third most popular mythic path according to steam archivements. Angel and Azata is more played.

I agree the paladin/archer couple shoved on you from the start is really clumsy woke-ism and you just know it's the same writer behind the bg2 expansion trans person who just can't leave their fetish alone and insists on including one such character in any project they are on as if it's some sort of criminal calling card.

To be clear, Amber Scott designed the first chapter of the tabletop adventure that the video game is based on back in 2013. She did not write for the game itself.

What makes this convo so damn weird - is you going on that we shouldn't discuss it here and implying somehow that we poor westerners want Russia to "save" us - while the game in question being Russian made but still jammed with SJW shit. What is going on here?
It's your own shit.

It's Paizo module and characters, made by license from Paizo. You're looking into the mirror of your current PNP player meta. deuxhero (I think) posted the complete breakdown of how bad the PnP module is right when game was announced. He even spoiled Chapter 5.

It’s nerd culture. They’re always (intentionally) behind the curve.

Plus it has a lot of Population Control money pushing it. But that’s more global than murkan. Regular people are like whatever. Hicklibs like it to rationalize why they left behind the place where they grew up.

The Tranny Sue writing gives the game away. Writers give depth to the characters they really care about. The one dimensional ones good and bad are just instrumental.

Bad writing.

I still dont get it, we shouldnt talk about it where it is relevant but it isnt a longing for discussion policing to create a safe space
What policing? U want me to pat your head or something? You're not Ember.

I have no more rights than 2021 newfag. You can rate me RETARDOED or SHIET, it's just that I don't do it to your crappy posts, because I don't believe it's productive - instead, I answer with text, exactly what I Think, as Forum Traditions demand. I go onto RPG Codex to discuss RPG mechanics and yes writing, and when I go into muh pathfinder thread, I enjoy reading butthurts about difficulty, your dumb eldritch knight builds, Viktor spamming shit about liches, etc.
What I don't enjoy is shits with 99% posts in GD and Politics posting their prestigious opinion about that NPC they found funny pictures on reddit and being sad Russia is going down the toilet or something.

and neither I approve of "lets all give up on rpgs cause sjw", that's just weak.

From my point of view, what I told you internet warriorz is completely fair. You want some based Slav advice? You don't like
slaanesh demons touching your kids
,
go and punch them.
traditional Slav tactics. worse can happen u and your whole family gets canceled and jailed and all that. But not my problems.

Again, I have no problemos on ppls shitting on bad writing. But you need to see for yourself if it actually ruins the game or not, and know your facts (like who wrote what and that sjw is front loaded).

It's still a lot. There's barely enough time for people to finish the game and Lich is only for evil-characters. How many people do evil runs on their first playthrough?

Yeah, but the two NPCs in question are straight from the tabletop. I just don't know the extent to which the Russians improved on them yet.

Their dev team worked on HOMM5 and other good TB I think, no idea why they couldn’t replicate that type of quality
I highly doubt they have whole NIVAL there. Sure some people are there, but coders, artists? idk.

Obsidian has all the Interplay/Troika crowd atm at about same ratio (some lead designers, writers, coders). And they did not, for some reason, replicate Arcanum.

And let's be honest, merging 2 games like that is too difficult and just was a stupid fucking idea to begin with.

As for the writing, Owlcats were never good at it, but previous game had way smaller scope. In this one, fuck, idk what happened, it's like they had no editor whatsoever in production, ever.

What happened is they lost Avellone so had no pimp hand and chick writers went crazy. They had HoMM people why not integrate it? Not stupid at all brilliant and already works well. Will only get better with DLCs.

Need to encourage them to stay engaged to keep developing it not demoralize them with all this empty edgelording. Only specifics you guys have is the usual suckage of just starting out.

Don't create gods and idols on people, humans are flawed etc etc. Accept the differences and nuances on what you get into no one will bring a gold age of CRPGs alone its a whole a chain of event if is to happen of course.

I'm at the end of the Chapter 3, so far having a good time, but doesn't mean there is nothing bothering me, for example how the itemization is handled and some spells being removed like Silence.

For the itemization not being able to create magical stuff like wands and have a very limited list of scrolls and potions limit what to do with resources I got thousands of gold stuck in my character with nothing to spend on due to that.
Not being to have the smithy to craft custom gear sucks too, usually on Table Top the best part was to get enough money and have a boost on a character Stat that was lacking before, enable your build depending on what you did.
People might say oh on realistic ruleset depending on the gear it would take months, but given we are in a mythic setting if I'm not mistaken with the right feats and skill investment a dwarf smithy can fart a +5 Celestial plate in a week.

Some spells I understand you removing due to their roleplayish nature and being broken, but Silence? Its your bread and butter to solve caster cuckery and then Anti Magic Zone.

Actually, I think real nerds are a victim at this point. Basically majority (teenage tumblrdorks) is trying to harass minority (people who spent days rolling dice or painting miniatures, because they were not accepted by commonfolk) out.
Typical, but we're crafty piglets. We would build more brick huts, with gates and also machinegun turrets.

Generally I like your posts even if you seem to be butthurt about mine, still think you are overreacting to people shiting on the game because I read other posts of yours and you use to be more balanced and less partial but Pathfinder seems to be your waifu game, whatever, now that I know you get annoyed, I will continue to edgy shitpost with even more pleasure.:salute:
