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

[Heroic Liberator]

New patch is downloading at a snail's pace for some reason.

I read people saying here that the game is much easier if you start as a melee tank or a damage delaer, instead of caster, but I never realized how dramatic the difference is. My Wizard MC was useless compared to the cavalier.

Indeed, stuffing a game with magic resistant and damage-reducing enemies right from the tutorial tends to diminish the already low utility of vancian casters or at least limit them to buffers and ground-casters of reflex-attacking spells which circumvent magic resistance.

People meming that "oh you play on TB, so you play the game two difficulty levels lower hurr durr" while they are fucking up things left and right with their gay-ified versions of barbarians and rangers should try the game with a vancian caster - up to level 5 it felt like having one less party member.

Core is actually not a big deal at all. Maybe only Fedora should stick to Normal.

The difference between core and unfair is substantial, too.

Just playing around with unfair last azlanti mode, I was able to get a paladin to the maze without much trouble, but tried with a phantasmal mage and he is completely useless—in no small part because you aren’t allowed to pick what spells you have memorized before the first cave section (it always gives me color spray and mage armor, though maybe I could metagame it into giving me useful spells vs animals). The only way I managed it was to stealth forward so the archer chick attacked them first and hopefully got a couple sneak attack hits in.

Swapped over to a core last azlanti run with the arcanist though—cave can be face rolled easily even down a party member.

Kind of a bummer that you can’t stealth through more of the opening (and that they gave you an NPC follower who attacks everything and doesn’t stealth…); it really makes arcane casters even harder to start on ironman.

Cyborgs in Blackwater were stronger than intended - fixed;

See ga♥ , you little cuck , i was right game is overtuned, i can already hear your autistic screeching over here ! And you know what they will look at end game and do exactly the same soon. See you dont matter at all for owlcat, you are nothing to them ! They are listening to me !

They pushed the wrong exe in GOG patch, and it launches Steam, and the game crashes. Amazing :D

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

So many NPCs in Drezen, the first city-like location

Spoiler

and none of them have even a single line of dialog, even from some kind of shared pool of NPC lines. shame

They said on Discord that they're fixing the issue soon. At least they didn't fuck off for the weekend already, but still, fucking amazing :D

• Sosiel will not try to break up with a character on a good Mythic Path anymore;

• Sosiel could get stuck painting in different areas, blocking some quests from completion - fixed;

• Sometimes you were unable to exit the location if you turned down Sosiel - fixed;

Skipping days in KM was a big mistake that was going to bite your ass later in the game, here as far as I understand, it shouldn't be a big deal.

I think some secret ending need a spesific date to completion,, other than that its safe to wait. in act 3 demons send you armies (really basic ones) each month so that can level you a bit. Or there are repeatable edicts that gives 30-50 k xp to all generals.
No attacking armies in act 5 btw.

I think if you're playing caster, you might want to look into options and kits that provide you with some melee options. Early game the difference in someone with high strength and enlarged and a fighter is not that big. I have a Hag Witch planned to try and scratch things with bites and claws against tripped enemies or something like that.
Later when you get spellz and 2xspell pen & mythic spell pen & mythic powaa, you can begin proper casting.

And I wouldn't rely on any stealth, Owlcats don't understand the concept and also filled game with cutscenes and crap like that.

 

[gurugeorge]

1.0.4d patch is up

• Charge ability was getting interrupted randomly before starting - fixed.

 

[Matalarata]

its safe to wait

Eh, I'll take the previous advice and explore all the location I've cleared. The thing I hate, is having to constantly switch the mindset from HoMM lite to TB tacticool. If they had baked a model were I could decide were to focus today I could even work it into my job schedule without going crazy.

Having fun. Not complaining.

Yea, that was so disappointing. A literal giant city full of nothing.

Since Desi is no longer here, clearly we should suggest awful, sacrilegious ideas like taking a level dip in oracle to grab a curse and then burn a mythic feat on a 2nd curse, so you can get Powerless Prophecy without the downside. (Don't actually do this, its a terrible idea.)

I think that's what CohhCarnage did in his recommended builds or something. But maybe without epic prophecy?
Basically, he turned Seelah into Oracle, and Lann into Hunter, and he is a bow Slayer. And he plays Hard.
What happened in the end is Seelah has no weapon enchants and his party has no mass smite evil; Lann, while has monk things, loses bab, and uses bow (no flanking), Cohh is slayer with bow (no flanking). And their pet (leopard) works without anything to help with flanking either. And he has Cam (just dies all the time) and Neni (due to game showering fox with special items, actually works, hilariously).

So, he gets Regill (just straight fighter) into party, and suddenly sees Regill hitting enemies with every attack and soloing Vroks.
And is very surprised, because that never happened before.

Yeah, I watched some of the content creators for the game for a bit and saw them doing things like this. I think 1 of the funniest things I saw was someone taking a level dip on kineticist into Sohei for the horse and then kiting enemies around on the horse, while they blast from its back :D

That's.... actually smart?

I mean, it's something my group and I did in tabletop, although with a cart. And crossbows. And an 11th level Sorcerer.

It's fixed. But I just wanna say... these 10 minutes this was happening, were VERY funny.

It requires you to enter the final zone

Boy, is that going to cause some butthurt. It's even more bullshit than Kingmaker

So there is at least one time limit? Sweet.

I have done that completion, unless you fuck up on some cosmic level, I don't think its possible to overshoot on time, I had to skip through an entire year to get to that date. Its far more likely that you fail the other requirements, like not making the correct dialogue choices, since there are lots of them.

Its ok, i know its weird, it feels weird but its ok but he's no longer with us, you can say what you really think now , he wont hurt you anymore.

I wonder if it'll be a bland ending or if it'll touch on whichever mythic path you were on as well in the epilogue.

Fuck that encounter at the Shrine of the Three. It forces you to go into TB mode for the fight (which I'm guessing that it's not a bug since you have to click on quite a few interactables in order to stop enemies from infinitely spawning).

Yea I think this is supposed to be some kind of eastern egg? I just don't know what it would refer to this fight took me 20 minutes

It's the Kodex quest.

Low point of the game.
