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

Of course you are not. This means you are either a) a completely clueless normie (unlikely) or b) a somewhat more apathetic shit-lib who doesn't have to live next to, interact with, or be a part of any of the destructive decision making of your more activist / aggressive brethren that you are well aware of, but blissfully ignore since you are far removed from the consequences. It is easy to be non-committal when imported nigs and other assorted low IQ society drainers are not your neighbors. When your child isn't force fed drag queen story hour and Heather Has Two Mommies 24x7x365 from Kindergarten through College.

Said another way-- You are a useless eater consoomer and a fence sitter and should get the bullet by either one side or the other for your pathetic apathetic and quite frankly immoral stance. More clear now???

Thank you anon! You are a good anon! You can see American liberal fluoride stare when they are chop with hatchet for rainbow coastal taxi fare! You can! I did see American video nonsense anon! I did! It is many such cases concrete jungle nonsense anon! It is! You are a good anon!

Beta players : I'm playing as a non-lifer since this game was launched, skipped the gym two days(I work out every day), 'm sleeping way less and now I'm in chapter 4. Already meet the

chapter 4 spoiler

Storyteller in mage's tower

I'm close to end of chapter 4? I really wanna to get lich transformation. BTW the best romanceable option is the brothel like IRL. No compromises and a lot of chicks to chose.

I suspect there is a bug and you don't get the achievements if you changed your difficulty to Core from something else after having entered the area. I killed it on Core, but I switched the difficulty to be "Core" after loading a savegame so it was initially easier.

...But I never did? I started at core and never moved from there.

i can't even...

 

[Josh Sawyer Was Right]

btw why people play with companions if they don't like them? Just hire mercenaries?

Seriously.

SERIOUSLY.

Please someone tell me I'm not the only one with this issue with the Crusader Army battles.

Many of the early low level demon armies have gargoyles in them. About ~30. Gargoyles are extremely resilient and can fly. Taking them down with the available troops (archers, footmen, hellknights in my case) takes AGES. There is no tactic or trick or weakness I could use to speed this up. I can't even LOSE the battle if I just keep clicking attack for 10 minutes straight because they can't really damage by units either. And to add insult to injury, you usually get all the troops back as long as the stack itself survives.

Don't you have clerics? Do you lose out on that if doing the hellknight quest (I opted out)? Clerics will fuck 'em up with their Smite. I do agree that it is too much of a slog though.

 

[Desiderius]

There is zero merc support. They pretty much suck.

Liches can reproduce. Is one reason which sorcerers of undead bloodline exists. BTW, In Generic WoW Clone : Conan Edition, you can get a STD as a Lich.

No. I have a kineticist and a primal druid merc and both are great.

Just hire mercenaries?

IMO OwlCat should make less expensive to hire mercs, so I can have a custom party since lv 1.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

quick question, since I've basically decided to replay a whole chunk of the game.
Is there any downside if I do trick the fuckers in the Library to go for the Grey Garrison?

Like, they go there and do what? Destroy something that could be of use to me later? Or just start some in-fight with some other enemies?

Spoiler

They'll make you skip a fight basically, by accidentally blowing themselves and some other enemies to pieces (you can still loot all their shit).

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's also a prerequisite if you want to go for the Trickster mythic path.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

So far I think Kingmaker had way better companions. The blackadin has such obnoxious voice acting in particular. I have completely ignored the trap disarming and just use her as the pinhead to walk into them. Lann is also a loser. Didn't like that fucker from the second my eyes saw his portrait.

Spider girl is cool but I miss Jaethal.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Only downside I can think is getting some loot later or not at all,so no biggie. That trick opens up the trickster path btw.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Fine, the only worry was about the chance they could destroy something valuable to loot.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Seriously.

Clerics with smite, still take 10 turns to kill 25-30 of them though. Funny thing is gargoyles were glass canons in beta. They had lots of attacks but die easly. Interesting change.

Edit: BTW smite only empowers clerics attacks against them, not other soldiers.

One other thing that is slightly annoying is the UI button placement. The inspection and select-all buttons should be over near the character portraits, where the stealth and AI buttons are.

Stealth and AI are the worst because they have no hotkeys, just press it for inspect.

It is a --baffling-- oversight, especially stealth. The fact that a mod had to be made with Unity Mod Manager to enable a stealth hotkey and they STILL don't have one in the 2nd game. Does. Not. Compute.

ALways amazed me the way people played IE games on the few occasions I watched them on Youtube. Everything was done on the mouse. I used almost every single key on the keyboard for the IE games and mostly used the mouse just for scrolling and targetting. Not having hotkeys for essential things like stealth is just bad design, inefficient, and poor gameplay from a design point of view and a gaming one.

The IE games with the F# hotkeys for the hotbar are a bit dated though.

 

[Lacrymas]

I killed the last boss in the labyrinth - it's another luck-based fight and it's done in such a way as to maximally disadvantage you. You start off in a surprise round, so you can't even attack properly or position yourself correctly. Then the second phase starts which is another surprise round. I had to reload like 10 times before Seelah or myself don't get one-shot from either the boss or from spoiler (I guess?). And Seelah has 29 AC, I don't think it's possible to get it higher at this point.

All in all, I didn't like the labyrinth much, too many pointless battles, and the ones which weren't pointless were decided on luck. It also looks like someone's basement. The end revelations were ok

Spoiler

and is spiderlady hinting that she took Lann's virginity? I didn't need to know that

, but I don't have an emotional attachment to any of these characters yet, so they were kinda there. Also not very surprising,

Spoiler

the spiderlady's motivations were obviously a lie from the very beginning

. Meh.

 

[Zeriel]

So you are saying, if people would present u with black paladin in game, but state nothing, you and other very apolitical gamers would not say a thing?
just like with, say, idk, a black ranger in PKM?

Also, it wasn't much about politiks, but that AB is surprised that in Pathfinder, demon beheads dragon and he meets a fox mage. Whats up with such a desire to have supra serious writing in RPGs? You had not enough Poe/Numa/other trash taking itself seriously as if they're grand philosophers?

It's a self-reinforcing problem. The more people become aware of it, the more it taints even innocent examples. That's not an example of the person perceiving being wrong--it's an example of them having been "activated" by political zealots and no longer being able to go back to naivete. It's actually a demonstration of why you shouldn't do this in the first place, because it's not that just that you project your own political beliefs onto others, it is that they in future are on the lookout for that.

 

[Parabalus]

Some of the loot is insane and worth the morale loss.

Against my better judgment I wasted my time to check it out. The word insane...I don't think it means what you think it means.

Spoiler

The monk robe is the real winner, at least in the Beta can't remember anything much better, even in A4.

 

[jackofshadows]

This reminds me, I came up with a Russian translation of Paladindu: "Негрыцарь".

"Негроладин" then. Or even "Негредин".

With all these timers and shit I went to Tiefling's quest then to the market square, then to the tower and head back right away to rest and now... I've nowhere to go. No big deal ofc have to just wait I guess but that's some fuck-up.

Depends on why you call it dated. All I appreciate is that when I press a button something awesome happens it does something instantly that saves me the time of wasting mouse movement to select it on screen. So playing stealth characters and having to constantly press stealth with the mouse is ass.

I think you can summarize it all with how efficiently the hotkeys let you play the game.

Yea, robe is kinda nice, but the rest is vendor trash tho.

Yeah, only that robe kinda deserves that morale loss.

Негрыцарь is funnier because it combines two commonly-used words and is pretty ingenious ;d Paladin is a comparatively niche word. Негрицар in Bulgarian.
