Spider thing lady actually isn't too bad looking. Ok, so I might have a thing for blue skin. Don't judge.

About an hour in. Some thoughts:

1) Much D20, very wow, super impress
2) Voice acting is 300 roentgen -- not great, not terrible.
3) Some serious UI issues. First, interface is too big and takes up too much real-estate. I have not been able to find an option to downscale it. This is especially an issue because I like to zoom out and the zoom is also very limited. So, too large interface + limited zoom = very cramped feeling.
4) The level up screen is a mess; redundant lists of feats, but you don't actually select the feat you want from the middle pane (use the left hand pane) this is not evident at all. Also, the scroll bar for the middle pane when picking new feats overlaps with the character progression sheet, making the scroll bar impossible to use. Completely stupid.
5) I rolled a goody two shoes Paladin (check my avatar) named George. We'll see how George does. I already sided with Lann.
6) I am waiting for Seelah to become annoying. I just . . . I can fucking feel it, man. It's going to happen.
7) Edit: The actual written dialog is not very good. People do not speak this way, even in video games. "Hi, long winded explanation of everything I can do for you!" Yeesh okay, chill the fuck out. Also, idiotic and lazy usage of phrases like "You Guys," I know DnD isn't all up on Ye Olden Fantasy times dialog but they could have stuck to a BG2-level of speech. Not everything needs to be quips and self-deprecating humor and muttered sarcasm. In fact, almost nothing needs to be.

Go Lich and

Spoiler

Seelah becomes a non-issue

. Quite the boon for the path.

This game makes me realize I enjoyed the first half of Kingmaker because it had nice somewhat traditional fantasy feel to it. Wild frontier, go to a swamp, kill a troll.

Compare the companion line-ups between Kingmaker, Wrath of Righteous, and PoE2. Kingmaker's are rooted in traditional fantasy archetypes and have a simplistic charm, which is reflected in the portraits to provide a point of reference in dealing with them. In the other two games I just don't know what the hell I'm looking at. The one-off oddball character we used to love in RPGs now consists of half the party.

And before my point is countered by a mention of Planescape Torment - that setting is like walking into Mos Eisley on a Saturday night. It's supposed to be disorientating!

Just use grease man.

Dafug iz dis "grease" thing? I can cut. And slash.

Start cutting and slashing with a grease wand.

One can hire SJW consultants and community managers, but no one can make them learn Russian, huh.

見事な反応だ! 平和だよな!

Watch WorthaBuy's review. He shot and killed an RPC just because he hated her whiny voice :D

Just wait until she find... something.

 

[Riddler]

So, to clean the thread yet again, which mythic paths are you going to pick?

Demon mythic path as a Chaotic Evil Half-Orc Barbarian.

Nothing stopped my lawful neutral monk from doing the same

It's one of my fave spells. I use to heighten it in tabletop just to fuck with my DM. Nothing like tripping a Balor with a level 9 heightened grease spell.

And yeah, maxing out your caster stat and taking spell focus + greater spell focus absolutely trivializes most of the harder fights early on.

I'd sooner bang the Spider....thing....lady

And before that I'd rather jump off a cliff into waters filled with man-eating crocs.

What! Are you furry anon anon! What! Are you Canadian zookeeper anon anon! What!

Maybe you were too hard on her. Don't be too stiff about companions at first.

 

[Reinhardt]

Fuck off. Casters are gay. Even my girl demon slayer wearing pants.

 

[Decado]

Thing is, my party is only big enough for one stereotypical do-gooder Paladin Crusader big cheese. First opportunity I get, this bitch is gone. Let her holy-roll some other poor sap's adventuring party, I don't need her help. Hit the bricks, lady.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

So has anyone figured out how to get to that chest guarded by a shadow demon?

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Crossed a fucking annoying bug that makes the Wights and Cairn Wights in the Pitaxian Wine Cellar completely unkillable (as: they take damage but their health never actually lowers. Or sometime it does but it doesn't reach zero).
If anyone knows a workaround it would be appreciated.

6) I am waiting for Seelah to become annoying

Her VO is annoying, but that's it. She buys everyone a round after your first victory.

Neither she or other companions are Zevrans blowing in your ear. Things that registered 2020 posters fight over doesn't really hurt game that much, and owlcats give you cool choices to do things with npcs and companions how you like.

"Hi, long winded explanation of everything I can do for you!"

and that, on the other hand, hurts game a lot.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

No clue what I'm supposed to be doing here (you just take damage when you try to clear the blockage).

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Impressions so far: the game is quite fun. It also feels like a fucking clown show.

So there is this World Wound - a passage to the abyss that is littered with demons. Obviously only the most dedicated and zealous holy warriors would want to fight against something like that. We've all met crusading warriors popping-up here and there in many RPGs, but now we can see what they're up to when they really mean business. So what kind of people will join player on this epic quest to the biggest demonic invasions of all time? So, there's a woman who's writing an encyclopedia, she doesn't really give a shit. There's also that Assimar who was too busy having orgies with his butt-buddies to notice that demons are destroying the city. Also a Tiefling who's mostly interested in stealing shit. There is also a mutant boy, an autistic witch girl and a young noblewoman. They just happened to be in town. Finally we have a Paladin girl who stole her armor and is doing this Paladin shit to get popular.

I mean, where are guys like Kheldorn, Anomen, Durance, Harrim, Valerie, Aribeth and so forth? Nobody wants to fight demons for religious reasons or to help people? You could switch the cast of characters with any party-based RPG at random and the companions would fit the game better.

 

[Alienman]

LOL, that is way worse than the city building aspect of Kingmaker.

 

[Shadenuat]

I mean, where are guys like

in chapter 2 and 3.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

The one in the basement?
Detect invisibility or some similar shit to spot the fucker, and then you need to hit him very hard with weapons.

Do not worry anon it is okay anon because all religious force was kill by cuckold dwarf! It is true anon! It is!

Your crusaders are pride parade carousals. A demon twink here, a literal semen demon there, a confused man pretending to be a woman, some rich thot with extreme fetishes etc etc.
