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

So can someone tell me who this guy really was (in spoiler tags, naturally)?

I guess he can be related to the dragon path but didn't show up in act V for me. Even for kobolds Azata is too much :D

Had him as a Trickster, stayed throughout, but nothing extremely revealing about him.

Woljiffs quest can wait, afaik he joins you as a companion either way.

That was already explained

I don't know why you are hating on wenduag,

I'm not hating on her.

Wenduag gets more feats and afaik better stats and still has 2 attacks per turn

As I said, I made the mistake of using her as an offtank.

I can't wait streamers azlanti path end in a tomb of elemental terrors aka 3 earth bros in tutorial or succumb to a monitor lizard zerg rush.

You can't ride horse in neutral areas, camps and cities. Fucking disgusting.

Difficulty: Normal. It's a big joke.

BTW the elementals are just 2 on Core. On Normal, where enemy numbers are not increased, it will probably be just one.

The satisfaction of having Seelah back in your party: priceless.

Sosiel is a gay African American Golarian American

Why 6 is mistake?

The wizard isn't very effective before lvl 5 in my experience, and combined with the other mistakes, the party was very weak.

This kind of stuff is always nice to see when A) the freaks did see the Light of Heaven and B) I did choose the Path of the Angel.

You fucks.

Did you take Lann or Wenduag? If the latter that's it.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I suspect your boss might be a little bitch

Dunno, man. My PC just wants to uphold Papa Asmodeus' law (and perhaps reach the rank of archdevil one day).

I took Lann.

Finally done with Act 2... and I'm also done playing this fucking game.

I should have given up much earlier, but Kingmaker was such a good game that I thought that its successor couldn't be that bad and that I would grow to appreciate it if I was patient enough (I also didn't want to admit that I'd wasted my money).

But now, I finally have to face the fact that the game is just not entertaining.

The story's very bad. The Chosen One BS is incredibly annoying.

The atmosphere's terrible. Tides of Numenera was weird for the sake of being weird, all the time, with no restraint, and thus made its weirdness completely uninteresting and boring. Replace "weird" with "epic", and you can say the same about Wrath of the Righteous.

The encounter design is really poor. The makers of the game seem to have been much more interested in making fights cinematic than in making them good.

And so on : the storytelling's bad, most of the characters are mediocre and uninteresting, the strategy subgame serves no purpose other than to make you wish you were playing HoMM 3 again, etc.

It's a real pity, because a lot of efforts obviously went into this game. I suspect that many of its problems come from its very concept and the Pathfinder Adventure Path it's based upon.

Oh well. Time to play something else. (No, I'm not going to play the so-called "Baldur's Gate 3", don't be silly.)

Dunno, man. I personally prefer it to Kingmaker's story and narrative design. But then again, I have no issue with 'epic' storytelling.

hes in act 2. he didnt see anything epic yet

"Too relentlessly epic" is a complaint I doubt developers hear very often

De gustibus and all that, but I'd persevere if I were you, the game has lots of good gameplay moments beyond Act 2.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

And all is well in the world. Glory to Cheliax and Asmodeus.

Devil mythic path spoilers

 

[ga♥]

I am in act 3 and I agree that Kingmaker is the better game. Less over the top and more coherent. Also you feel the growth from low level to high level. Still I am enjoying it very much.

 

[ga♥]

Question: when you chose a mythic path, can you even change your alignment? I am chaotic but I want dat monk dip.

 

[Robber Baron]

so what's the strategy for that

Spoiler

lvl 27 treant in wintersun? how are you supposed to take it on lvl10?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Also, finishing the Devil mythic path gives you matching wings to Aru:

 

[frajaq]

Fighters are a good class too.

The "vanilla" feeling can be overcome with your mythic choice.

what do you mean good class they're only ranked B tier in InEffect class rankings!!!

Unless all your builds use crane style, they're also only B tier.

Ok, as promised to Mortmal brainfart of mine. I promised to D_X here is my main. From this image the only thing we may say is definitely "meh" :

Spoiler

Here, I gave him only long buffs. Things like barkskin or 'xtended delay poison (not shown) that last minimum 2 hours+ :

Spoiler

And here he is in his full battle splendor, with his full castings of buffs, many coming from his companions ofc. I also buffed his movement to give you the full package!
Not shown: crane shit, 5d6 sneak, additional Gore attack coming from close to abyss and two (2) Natural Bites per round (But you will see them lol):

Spoiler

Now, let's put this to the test. Hi, Ancient Sarkorian Wight!

Spoiler

Spoiler

Bye, Ancient Sarkorian Wight (And Ghostwaifu). That's a single round of attacks btw. The undeads took exactly 3 rounds to exterminate and caused 0 damage to me. Oh, and I had to renounce surprise round ofc, else, if I had sicced the Smilo on them my char would be left with little to show you

Will post build tips later yet!


Notice that! My old bones will ache for days, DAYS for what you forced me to do tonite, you screenshot hungry youngsters


Edit:

Also, finishing the Devil mythic path gives you matching wings to Aru

eh, I have those already...

They gotta recoup the costs of research and development for resurrection spells.

Wut. It's mega epic from the start.
