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

This game was made by Russians. It probably IS a map of Poland.

I am sorry, but I'm tempted to remind you of the Operation Husky.

the reason mendev is failing is because its ukraine without the support of mother russia (which is iobaria, ie dead by plague)

What real life counterpart, if any, is Cheliax supposed to have?

The universal vatnik's truth is that WE are the demons, devils, bad guys - and we are proud of it. And we would have won WW-2 without US. Or, we would have made peace with Germany, and curse to the allies.

You are out of touch in this regard.

Weren't Owlcat hiring for some unnamed Sci-fi project awhile back.

I'm praying for Iron Gods. Starfinder lacks full casters.

IT IS dungeons and kobolds. Just your dagger is +18 and kobolds have 280 AC.

I disagree. You investigate a dracolich cult and go kill everyone inside in a side quest in chapter 2. It can't work in a low level campaign. Unless you re write the campaign to have weaker enemies...

Anyway, my favorite spells in Pathfinder are teir 4~7 spells. The tier 9 spells which I like the most are ... AoE versions of mid tier spells. Eg - Ice prison, mass(just a mass version of Ice Prison) and wail of the banshee, a AoE Finger of Death. The others, I only use tsunami when against enemies with high SR. In Wrath of the righteous, my most used spell was negative eruption which is a AoE HARM(tier 6).

Russia is both Cheliax and Worldwound. It all depends on the distance from the closest megalopolis.

if varisia is romania and andoran is america then cheliax is yugoslavia, certainly

So I finally finished that thing.

I would say I had finished on Core but that would be a Lie. I had to lower the difficulty at the last location, since after dying 30 times or so I could not be arsed to continue trying.
I am not sure what changed, I could roflstomp every encounter up to that point as a Lich, dead companions did not matter in the least due to "restore Undead". So i never had to rest, I never got exhausted and killed nearly everything with the Tier 9 AoE and the Grandmaster Rod. (and if anything remained there was still enough firepower to nuke basically everything)

The threshold was unbeatable for me though, I have no clue how to manage it. You can't rest for some reason and I managed to beat all enemy groups up to the last while using up *all* my available spells.
I simply had no options left.

Whatever, so I just went full cheat mode and went Story and still died in the first encounter at the first try, so just WTF. In the end I managed but damn was that location a Pain in the ass.

I enjoyed the game a lot though, loved how inhumane you can become on the Lich path as you can become really a blight to anything living. Getting a lot of Undead Companions from former allies and foes is pretty cool. I am not sure however why there are basically two randoms (The priestess and the Warrior) when you have other options, like nurah who could easily fit into the story as a forced undead.

I hated that there seems to be a true ending just like with KM, that kind of defeats the purpose.
Crusade mechanics were rather meh, it was servicable I guess and I like the political aspects of the management just like i did with KM. The whole card based aspect is still boring as shit, the actual battles are way to easy as a Lich as soon as you get Skeleton sharpshooters (in addition to the marksmen) and the "get free units every 15 Days" Skill, which you can exploit by splitting your army to only sharpshooters or marksmen.

In Conclusion I really liked the game and started a new game for a Aeon -> Legend path.

Is there a way to disable the slow overland travel ? I prefer a simple Baldurs Gate like travel system, where you click and it loads. The encounters could still be calculated in the background without having to watch your party traveling at a snails pace.
The current trave system also slows down the army management part massively. I think most of the time is either spent on loading screens or watching the figurines move. It was nice to watch for the first hour or so but now its just tedium that I'd like to skip entirely. At this point I'd even prefer a linear story if it meant less loading screens and more direct adventuring, without annoying disturbances like army management or kingdom management as in the first game. I'd welcome it if the next title or module came without any gimmicks and with a stronger focus on the core gameplay without interruptions.

ToyBox mod (which requires UMM) has a setting for travel speed. It doesn't reduce the game time used for the travel, but speeds up the animation speed.

Well, to be fair, that true ending is just another flavor of mythic narratively, just without a path. Don't like how you have to game it though given its various unintuitive requirements (thinking about that date stuff in particular).

It's no biggie. The secret ending is actually pretty bad this time around. Like, sure, redeeming Nyrissa was too cotton candy nice and all but this secret ending is just silly. It sours everything that came before.

You are right, I suppose. For the purpose of the Story I played everything worked out consistently so there are no loose ends or anything.

I also have not seen the true ending so I can not Judge how that works in context of the other paths. Maybe somewhen in the future I will play it but I guess the second play through will be my last for a while, the game is Gigantic (which, don't get me wrong, is pretty great) and is just too big of a time investment.

However it seems it has a lot of replayability so I am sure it will be one of the games you start again every few years and see things you haven't seen before. In any case, it's a Job well done.

redeeming Nyrissa was too cotton candy nice

Having the strongest entity in the vicinity eternally grateful for the baron and willing to bear his children is "candy nice"?

OK. I guess people do not grok the concept of "immersion" sometimes.

 

[Shadenuat]

I don't understand why romance for good-aligned men, from regular one to epic should always be about forgiving a woman for from 100 to 10000 years of crime, eating babies and destroying kingdoms. Is that girl fanfiction thing? Perfect husbandu forgives waifu all?

Or even worse, a...

That's gay, bro.

What do you think I meant by 'cotton candy nice'?

Exactly...

In case of Arueahalae is even worse. She worked in a brothel, had thousands of demon and demonologist dicks inside her every year for aeons. But for the mc, she demand love and commitment.

 

[Blutwurstritter]

German who don't like to watch armies moving over map. Shamefur dispray. I dunno... Imagine it's map of Poland or something.

Well, the Blitzkrieg option has eluded me so far. Maybe a new patch can help.

 

[Ontopoly]

I was hesitant when everyone was saying the next ap will be iron gods but after going through Blackwater dungeon I would totally be down for an ap like that dungeon but expanded on.

 

[Ontopoly]

Everybody needs to collectively agree that we're going to stop donating next Kickstarter as soon as they announce the gimmick Kickstarter bonus. Everybody from the Codex, to the Redditors, to the steam forum people.

 

[Sharpedge]

I want to register a complaint about the item bloat inside The Enigma. Seriously, there is so much shit in that zone, it needs absolute decluttering.

The puzzles are fine, not too difficult to do and I don't mind them. But because you need to interact with so many objects within the zone it feels mandatory to pick up all this junk just so you can see what you are doing.

 

[razvedchiki]

any tried a mutated warrior? do you get many + stat items like in kingmaker?

Meanwhile, Wrath has been Ironman'ed from start to finish.

Hmmmm...

Bye Bye Life!

On anything under Hard, Iron Manning this game is not even difficult, with the possible exception of some fatal owlcat error interrupting your run through.

My point was not about the difficulty, but about game breaking bugs and save file corruptions. If at least some branches of the game are stable enough for an Ironman run, I am OK with that.

Of course, I will not use any mods, and will apply patches only 1-2 days after their release. Thanks GOG.
