How do you turn off the voice acting?

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

not enough cash yet

Yeah, making you pay 4500 per merc is just stupid. What's the gameplay rational for this? It's not like you can ever have more than a set amount of characters in your party. I think the devs just want to punish players for not picking their shitty companions.

Expensive, you would have to cheat for a full party or save up legit like a madman. I tried it but the issue is the early game doesn’t allow you to go to certain companion quest only areas, which means you miss out on lots of useful XP, items and shit. So not worth it especially for adventure autist.

Must listen to woke ladies or pay them alimony. Just like in real life.

You can’t control it once combat starts in RT it just attacks, mount feats also broken. No fucking armor for horse at least for early game so it just gets on shot all the time and you fall off and get AOO’d.

Well, pets with attacks over 2 are losing their attacks after you save and reload the game once.

This most affects the Simoladon, but it also affects the Leopard and Elk pretty badly.

How is crap like that even in 1.0? Seems like pretty obvious stuff, assuming you have a pet/rider.

Beta backers spent all their time kissing developer ass and shilling it on forums instead of actually playtesting the game or viewing it from a rational, unbiased perspective.

Playing on Core rules, I don't know where to go to at the moment, so I wouldn't get my ass handed to me. All locations have enemies which are vastly outperforming me so that I have little mathematical chance of victory. Buffing up before every fight is too expensive and rest spamming isn't an option. Most locations are just bait with nothing but a silly strong combat encounter and absolute shit loot.

 

[Lacrymas]

There are many random bugs. Lann's model disappeared for me at one point and I had to quick save and reload to make him visible again. I'd just wait for a few patches before continuing, especially if you want to play the new classes or try mounted combat.

Buy some fireball scrolls from the mage guy at the tavern, should help. Game is very overturned. I’m just now going to start Market Square and onward (only previously did it in alpha and wasn’t that bad but it probably got harder.). Masochistic design is expected tbh, it’s owlcat..

What a shitshow.

The only downside is that the voiced story dialog lines will still be in the original VA, and while you can disable voice acting it isn't per-character, so you're stuck with the original VA during dialog scenes.

Are you saying that you can deduce the skin colour of a person by her or his voice?

 

[Deadyawn]

Seriously, how do you defend from those babau in Gwerm's mansion?

scroll of haste, scroll of displacement, cold iron weapons and arrows/scroll of bless weapon

Cold arrows did the trick. I buffed my boar mount to reach +30 ac and used his fat ass to block the gate with the rest of the party shooting from behind. Many thanks!

 

[LannTheStupid]

I don't think she should have the southern basketball-american accent or basketball-american mannerisms like she does in this game.

I don't know who plays basketball in your 'Murica, but Seelah was a street thief. In a gang of thieves.

I'm getting that lovely warm feeling, like relaxing into a hot bath, that one gets with good, classic RPGs that you can really get your teeth into That beautiful mix of immersion in another world and its stories, plus nerdy brain engagement, that you can't get from any other style of game - the holy grail that we all know and love.

In other news, Cavalier Gendarme is interesting, cool how they've managed to incorporate horseys, though it's still a bit clunky in terms of use. Particularly with formation - I've settled on having a triangle walking formation for 3 melees, tank at point, with me in the middle behind him, the horse on one side of me, the other second-liner on the other side of me forming the base of the triangle. It means one maintains an "arrow" formation when one mounts the horsey (because one mounts onto the horse), and the formation stays when one dismounts.

And a PSA - the Respecialization mod is fixed. It was duplicating items and naughtily making your 25 point stat allocation disappear on new character creation. both things now fixed as of the 1.02.2 version on Github.

 

[smaug]

Is there any reason to play a fighter over a paladin?

Both can deal massive damage and tank except paladin just gets straight immunity to everything and good abilities.

 

[Erebus]

Worshiping Groetus doesn't make much sense in this particular case imo. Given how only madmen worship Groetus and he doesn't care, I'm not sure how that helps you win a war. Not that worshiping Zon-Kathon makes sense, but he gives his clerics powers at the very least.

I rather liked Harrim in Kingmaker. And having a PC who believes that the world is ultimately doomed, yet decides to act even though he expects his achievements to be short-lived, could have been rather interesting.

Besides, it's not like worshipping Groetus would be crazier than worshipping Gyronna, Lamashtu, Zon-Kuthon, Urgathoa or freaking Rovagug.

 

[Agame]

Any reason to finish P:K before starting this? Is it connected to first game or are they separate story?

Only one: when you finish Kingmaker WotR will be fully patched.

And no, they are connected only by the same planet and Universe.

Good to know. As much as I had fun with P:K, after killing my nine hundred and ninety ninth owlbear I was starting to feel fatigued.

 

[The_Mask]

Just beat Chapter 1 with 6 rests. I only regret 1. 69 to go, baby. (heh, the funny number)

Looks like PF:WoTR still in the top most sold steam game https://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=win&filter=globaltopsellers

Anyway, got past of chapter 4 but din't got lichdoom yet. How I dealt with this super powerful bosses? By overpowering then with the most OP persistent spells that I can cast before the fight even begin.

the strategy

The swarms are only to attack and serve as distraction case he passes all saves, they would't last a second in the area. The unique thing which I will miss from ch 4 is the brothel. hu3hu3h3u "only a complete idiot would demand loyalty from a succubus!", say that for the guys romancing Arueshalae

You don't have to be lawful good and gay to be a fighter.

Well, besides the alignment restriction....

More feats (including tower shield for what it's worth) which means better combat efficiency. More damage (smite not withstanding) due to fighter only weapon feats....

But honestly? Fighter is, and always has been, a dipping class for me.

But yes, in this particular setting due to all the demons and whatnot, a straight (haha, yeah, I know insert joke here) 20 Paladin is going to be more valuable then a straight 20 fighter.

Though if doing class multiclassing with the fighter it becomes way more complex.

The suite of special companions for the Lich path is very enticing. Is the Skelechampion removed from the six party limit like a rangers pet, or does he factor in along with the other Companions? FWIR, there's Four Whole Graveguard Pals to collect across the game.

 

[Cryomancer]

I believe that doesn't count for the party limit. But I use my skeleton more like a "healer" dealing negative energy and some times as a distraction. He is not good as my druid's triceratops. He is viable as a tank? Only if you give good gear and buff him. If the triceratops is 10 in strength, I believe that he is 7.

Lich mythic path in this game is 10/10. I still prefer being a vampire lord over a lich, but I can't criticize the lichdom in this game. I would like to be a vampire lord with a shadow familiar instead of a skeleton. Or a giant shadow bat.

It does seem an obvious missed opportunity. Why include dhampirs if you're not going to let them become vampires? Though I guess dealing with the actual vampire mechanics would be annoying for a dev to deal with.
