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

[Zeriel]

I am noticing a very peculiar trend of having white women be incompetent/crazy/anything negative, while everyone else that is colourful be pretty good at things.

I generally dislike to bring up political agendas (mostly because everyone else does, while being blind to bigger issues an RPG has), but I'm not a big fan of what's happening. And the question mark grows slightly bigger, since developer diaries clearly show white women working on this title.

But then...

Galfrey's a shitter in general. To be fair they do make that pretty clear from the beginning, and it's not like its out of the ordinary for royalty.

As Sun-Tzu once said, there should always be a clear distinction between the monarch and the general when it comes to war, tactics and logistics.

Problem is: you can invite the Queen with your troops, taking an active role in your campaign, and the game goes out of its way to show you that she's quite good in combat. Overall very contradictory.


So I'm not sure exactly what's going on. The most "fabulously optimistic" view is that Paizo is a piece of shit, and Owlcat is fighting the garbage, and opinions go downhill from there...

She's a good fighter, relatively speaking. That doesn't mean she's a good person, or makes good decisions. That's basically the whole story of her place in WOTR--she'd be a good paladin, but she's a terrible ruler, and indeed, that's not an uncommon occurence in RL management/leadership/royalty, some of them would be fine in other roles, they just suck at being on the very top.

Killed the dragon, it was not too hard thanks to communal energy resistance. Also turned staunton into an undead meatshield so now I can finally kick out the black paladin hoe.

Nothing released today can match the briefly presented dichotomy between Loghain and King Cailan (Dragon Age Origins)

Even niggerinoz don't like black wommynz.

They were both retards and both deserved to die.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Eh, I uninstalled the game.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I think loading times got worse.
Also, my victory morale flag changed from green to yellow after winning 2 battles.
I'm really not in the mood for this owlcat crap right now. I will finish WotR later. Much later.

Download the crusader win mod and balance out the battle rewards by doing as much content as possible before auto winning the battles. It also avoids the loading screens, so it should help somewhat.

Might want to use a respec mod if you're okay with that, his default build is aggressively terrible.

 

[Utgard-Loki]

theres a xanthir's experiements card on crusade. you sure you didnt run it?

i have it on auto. are you even supposed to be able to take the swarm path if you didn't take the queen corpse with you in the beginning?

 

[Removal]

i have it on auto. are you even supposed to be able to take the swarm path if you didn't take the queen corpse with you in the beginning?

That's why, autocrusade mode makes all the important decisions for you. Did you use the bugs during the Drezen battle? if so then yeah you activated the swarm path as a later option
why the thinking man's choice is

Spoiler

the crusade autowin mod so you don't have to suffer through whichever autist at Owlcat loves terrible addons like Crusade mode or Kingdom managment, but you still get to choose which projects to do

 

[NJClaw]

I hadn't had any performances problem so far, but last patch made the game incredibly laggy for me. Both during combat and exploration.

Meanwhile, Cleave/Cleaving Finish still haven't been actually fixed. This game's release so far has been way better than Kingmaker's one, but the fact that Owlcat still can't get right even such a basic feat is appalling.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

"Better than Kingmaker" when talking about technical issues is a textbook case of "setting the bar low".

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

The fact that Cleaving Finish is still not fixed fills me with great sadness, but sometimes, the game bugs out in a different direction

Spoiler

I won that fight, if you're wondering.

it's in this pack.

What the fuck I've never seen it before
Is old age catching up to me?

That specific portrait has even been posted early in this thread, as I'm using it as well. :D

Spoiler

Time to deafen Hell.

No, I don't know how to build. Shut up.

[Shadenuat]

Oh. I thought +20 attax in tutorial was just as planned.
But I guess it was tricky for vivimonksaints when they get slain by one hit by chapter 1 enemies with more than 30 ab.

 

[smaug]

Are the DC saves for diseases bugged? Every disease so far has a 32 or more DC which means I can’t even dispel them with high caster level remove disease spell.

 

[NJClaw]

I don't know if it works for every disease in the game, but so far I've been able to remove all of them with the Treat Affliction action. It's in the abilities menu (where you can find Charge and Coup de Grace), and it requires a Lore (Religion) check against the DC of the disease, so it should be easier to succeed than the Remove Disease spell check.

 

[Shadenuat]

You could probably ask clerek guy in city do it for you, when you use scroll near him, game uses his caster level.
Oh and reducing difficulty also will help since it affects some DCs (+remove all status effects on rest).

TB has lagged horribly since the launch for me. Whenever you kill someone the animations stutter for a full second. Doesn't happen in real time for me.

 

[Jackpot]

To be fair to Owlcat they have been pumping out the bugfixes since release, but its like working hard to drain a lake with buckets.
There's just so many bugs.
The game could have used another year in the oven to work all of these issues out.
Although again, to be fair, that's true of like 80% of RPGs.

 

[Sharpedge]

Oh. I thought +20 attax in tutorial was just as planned.
But I guess it was tricky for vivimonksaints when they get slain by one hit by chapter 1 enemies with more than 30 ab.

Whilst I am not generally in favor of artificially inflating stats as a method of increasing difficulty, considering how bad the enemy AI was, it was pretty much all they had. The current state of unfair post adjustment is just depressing.

 

[LannTheStupid]

The game could have used another year in the oven to work all of these issues out.

It would have not helped. They do not have resources to emulate the testing of the whole player base.

So the alternative is: have a polished visual novel or have a buggy grand scale CRPG. I know what I prefer.
