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

[NJClaw]

The Baldur's Gate thread is so inconceivably powerful that now THIS is a BG3 thread.

Deal with it.

It stinks so bad, it corrupted it's neighbours.

About 10k more to go! Will the U meme prevail!? Or will the backwards J be our doom!

It's not BG3, it's butthurt of haters.

You can shit on 5E all you want, but that doesn't mean Larian are the ones in the wrong.

Of course not, they're in the wrong for completely different reasons. But you brought it up, saying that it was "shitting on normies", which is wrong. And thinking you're getting a "faithful" adaptation is just so hilariously fucking stupid, especially since we've seen game footage of D:OS3: The Barrelling, with absurd knock-backs and jumping around like mongoloids.

4E is the most half-assed one, though.

Wrong. 4e may be the worst edition of D&D, but it wasn't half-assed. If it hadn't been called D&D and instead been used for a board-game type experience similar to Journeys in the Dark, it would actually have been great. Just not as an RPG.

5E is still better than like 95% of systems out there.

Well now you're just being absurd to the point where I'm starting to suspect that you're one of those D&D 5e normies that have never actually played anything else. Most D&D - even 3.X, which is my personal favorite - is at the bottom of the barrel in tabletop. Or, I guess, the disgusting foam that has risen to the surface, depending on how you see it.

With what system that is not D&D do you want them to make a game?

They're perfectly free to make a D&D system, although preferably not 5e, especially in official nu-settings, but the better idea would probably be to not use existing systems at all. But Larian being deceitful cocksuckers have nothing to do with them using D&D or D&D 5e or whatever. It has everything to do with them relabeling their pre-production D:OS3 and selling it off as """Baldur's Gate""" """3""" as if there's any actual continuity whatsoever, whether systemic, personal, narrative, mechanical, conceptual, etc., and even making it clear that you're actually not at all interested in making a Baldur's Gate game. All they're interested in is the label for (((marketing purposes))), they obviously (and expressly) don't give a shit about anything else.

 

[Lacrymas]

You are absolutely free to suggest a better table-top RPG on which your dream game should be made. I am actually quite interested to see what you choose. I'd choose one of the iterations of Warhammer Fantasy or 40k maybe, but I have to think about it more.

 

[Pink Eye]

>You are absolutely free to suggest a better table-top RPG
Solasta: Crown of the Magister. Looks like a far better game than whatever shit DOS 3 will be.

 

[luj1]

Baldur's Gate III will be better than Wrath of the Righteous by purity alone. The latter doesn't know what it wants to be.

 

[luj1]

>You are absolutely free to suggest a better table-top RPG
Solasta: Crown of the Magister. Looks like a far better game then whatever shit DOS 3 will be.

Please. Solasta looks like sterile crap. Its main selling point was verticality and lighting, the two areas where Baldur's Gate III already surpassed it. Tragic, really.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Now you're speaking like Forex traders.

Solasta looks like shit. Purely aesthetically I mean. And isn't it still based on the OGL of 5E?

 

[NJClaw]

>You are absolutely free to suggest a better table-top RPG

Solasta and BG3 are both based on the 5th edition of D&D.

They were talking about PnP systems.

 

[Reinhardt]

Who cares - they both have party of 4.

Oh okay. Thanks. I thought they were talking about games.

Like I said, I think the better idea would be to not adapt a tabletop game at all. My commentary regarding D&D has nothing to do with any kind of adaptation, but is strictly based on actual tabletops, in which case we can just grab straight down into the barrel and grab Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Ed., Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/Black Crusade/Only War, Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green, Shadow of the Demon Lord, Pathfinder 1e, Starfinder, Vampire: the Masquared or Hunter: The Reckoning (oWoD, not gWoD), Shadowrun (pre-6e), FFG Star Wars RPG/Genesys, Traveller, Eclipse Phase 1e, Coriolis, FantasyCraft, and probably a few more I can't think of right now.

An adaptation of Starfinder could actually be really cool in a D:OS-like game, and would probably fit the game better than a PF:K/IE-style one.

Baldur's Gate III will be better than Wrath of the Righteous by purity alone. The latter doesn't know what it wants to be.

The latter knows exactly what it wants to be, which is what Pathfinder: Kingmaker was: A homage and spiritual successor to the Infinity Engine games, realized within a faithful adaptation of the Pathfinder 1e ruleset. The former is a game titled as a sequel to a series with which it has literally nothing in common, and where all references will by necessity be forced and constipated.

It stinks so bad

It's not BG3, it's butthurt of haters.

It is a sad state of the world when opposing the liars is looked down upon, but with every last ounce of my asspained butthurt, I will push past the hemorrhoids of complacency, and I will shit on evil!

Talking about G A M E S? Where do you think you are, young boy?

 

[Pink Eye]

I am on a Pathfinder thread, dedicated to the discussion of the upcoming Pathfinder game. Where do you think you are?

Furry central.

Nonsense. The IE games weren't constipated with feature bloat. Unlike those, this is a patchwork cadaver that happens when you lack purity of vision. Because it wants to be everything, it will be neither a good RPG, nor a good strategy game in the end.

The strategy game will probably suck, but, even if WotR ends up being a Kingmaker mod, it will still be a good RPG game.

It's retarded.

I wouldn't call jumping up cliffs like you're Jessica Jones peak verticality. It would have been better if Larian Incorporated DnDs climbing mechanics. Also knowing their larians encounter designs and lack off passion, Solasta could be the better game. I at least don't have to feel like a soulless sellout to play it

Which D&D climbing mechanics are you talking about? Because 5th edition climbing can be summarized in "you slowly walk upwards and you make a skill check if the dm tells you to".

But BG2 tried to do strongholds and RPG—so it was necessarily a bad RPG!

 

[Shadenuat]

Strongholds was actually class content done right. As Bard you'd get a theatre, as thief a thieves guild. And all of that was pepped with good old hack and slash and extra loot.

Expanded content based on traditional players choice (class picked) is a definition of good extra content.
