Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Nerevar]

I'm very glad I got in on this kickstarter. Man this game is going to be so much fun now I'm starting to understand how to play properly (use spells and buffs and favourable terrain) on PF:K so I should be ready for PF:WotR.

 

[Reinhardt]

Kiting is boring,it takes away the challenge of the fight.

You know what else takes away the challenge? BADUMTSSSSSS!

 

[Pink Eye]

So, what is the next unrevealed goal?

Yeah. That fits:

 

[Pink Eye]

Do we know if double attack animations includes unarmed?

 

[Tytus]

Do we know if double attack animations includes unarmed?

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous will take lessons in fencing, archery, and other disciplines

Judging by this, I would say yes.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Do you know what takes away the challenge?

TB mode.

So twelve companions like in Kingmaker. Nice. (13 if you count Kanerah from the DLC).

There should be at least a companion for each class, any less it's disgusting and cheap. Also, do they hate pure wizards/sorcerers THAT much? Also also, are they physically unable to write a druid companion? Every single divine class, but god forbid we can have a druid.

Meh, who cares, I would still play the game even if the companions were 12 pure fighters with no feats.

 

[Tytus]

Every single divine class, but god forbid we can have a druid.

That's because druids are a tree hugging shit class

 

[Shadenuat]

I want 15+ companionz (5 good 5 neutral 5 evil)

>Arushalae - Bow user of some kind?
Here is her stat block btw:

Real druids hate trees. Real druids summon swarms of wasps to eat their enemy's flesh

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

So, what is the next unrevealed goal?

Yeah. That fits:

The gap between 'Features' and 'for' seems to be too small.

And what is the exact goal? $1595k, perhaps?

That's not how wasps work. If you hugged trees more you would know it.

Nature is mysterious and revolting

as long as your movement is longer than enemy, you can kite turn based just as well.

Thing is this isn't the main issue in kitting. The thing that really breaks the immersion in kitting is basically splitting bigger group of enemies, kitting just a few of them into the killing zone, and then doing it again until the larger group is dead. All while a portion of the enemies aren't hostile to you and "wait" their turn to be activated. Neverwinter Nights 2 had a huge a problem with this. Pathfinder Kingmaker had as well. And here you had the pathfinding problem on top of that. During my romp through Vordekai tomb you encounter a dining hall full of enemies. All the zombies should've been a challenge, but instead zombies got stuck on each other and when I stood in the door they were attacking me in smaller groups while other ones were either spiining in circles or trying to find a path to me and taking weird routes. In TB such issues are pretty much impossible. When entering an encounter zone all enemies are activated and gunning for you. There is no way to only activate 2 out of 6 enemies and kite them out of the room. Then go back again and finish the rest. Also thanks to turns pathfinding is by nature a lot better because enemies won't bump into each other.

RTwP encourages such behaviour and you had to artificially limit yourself of not doing it, while TB by nature gives you a better designed fights.

You do sound like guy that doesn't play rpgs at all lol. First of all i haven't argued that you can kite in TB (which you actually can),cite me or fuck off. Also retreating from a fight to a better position for you i kiting.....which is not. Kiting is when you use an archer to lure a dude from the enemy group without aggroing the rest of the group,or abusing the AI to run circles around your melee fighters which make attacks of opportunity while the enemy is chasing your archer. Fuck,at least learn what kiting is before writing such a self-righteous shit lol.

Kiting is when you run away from an enemy and use ranged attacks or sometimes AoO( at least you mentioned this part...) to kill it. What you're thinking of is luring. Fucking casuals.

In generally sure,but that is not a valid strategy that you can use in RTwP games. Go and use that shit in BG game and show me how it ended for you . Spoilers,it ended with your kiter getting raped because casting and shooting takes enough time for the enemy to close the distance. You will need some high level artefacts like hasted boots and some slow spellz. And even if you get them the dungeon design will not allow it. This more of a third person open world and TB thing lol. And in the end it is not even a cheese tactic but a real world strategy.

Ewww, that's like 7 AM crap ass island time. It might be doable, but I've been working nights and I'll probably be groggy. I assume somebody will ask about the different mythic paths, and how they'll change the character and story?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Do you know what takes away the challenge?

TB mode.

It just looks that way to you because Tb fellas play with superior intellect.

Nah TB is for old people that can't keep up. It lacks any challenge or need for tactical thinking. You have all info show to you and all you need to do is solve the basic puzzle. If you want challenge to play Hexcells or some other puzzle game .

Read the campaign page, folks: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous

Meet a new diverse cast of characters, including ten companions to recruit to your party and featuring multiple romance options to choose from.

Then they added another one as a stretch goal: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/posts/2748263

So that's eleven companions.
