Necromancy potentially forces you into neverending torment, slavery and conscription have a definite end - your death.

Not in D&D/Pathfinder. On this settings, the unique difference between a animated pile of bones and a animated dagger is the type of energy animating it. On Elder Scrolls, is different. You need to mess with people's souls

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Smashes Past $2 Million in Crowdfunding

Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the recently announced sequel Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has been a raving success. A month after hitting the $1 million mark in little over a week, the developer announced today that it’s raised $2,054,339 from more than 35,000 backers, knocking off 20 stretch goals in the process.
In celebration of the campaign’s success, the studio has shared that fans will also be able to pre-order Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous through the new official website launching at the end of the month and that the first closed alpha test will be held this April.

For those not up to speed with the series, the original Pathfinder video, Kingmaker, which is based on the TRPG from Paizo, was released in 2018 and was a successful Kickstarter project in its own right. The game is reminiscent of other modern CRPGs such as Divinity, featuring isometric gameplay and lots of roleplaying options.

Pictured in the image above, a new alternative key visual has been revealed as part of today’s milestone celebration—it is showcasing the player’s character who followed the evil path of a Lich, instead of the Angel’s path featured in the first original art unveiled in December.

Owlcat Games’ head of studio Oleg Shpilchevskiy said of today’s news:

“I express sincere gratitude to every backer who has supported us. This Kickstarter campaign was incredibly successful and our team is amazed by the overwhelming support of backers who share our love of Pathfinder. “For us, it is essential to communicate with the core players from the early stages of development. We are looking forward to getting the players’ feedback during a closed alpha test in April.”

Pre-orders for the game will go live from a dedicated website later this month, we’re told, while Kickstarter backers will be able to access an account to manage and upgrade their pledges, select specific add-ons, receive digital rewards and edit personal information.

While Wrath of the Righteous’ Kickstart campaign has exceeded expectations, Owlcat Games has stated that continued support and pre-orders will help fund the final stretch goal that was still active at the time of the campaign’s completion: adding a new Hunter class and dinosaurs as animal companions.

As for when it will be playable, there’s a closed alpha test on the way for those who are either Kickstarter backers or have pre-ordered the game.

So, early alpha begins in april (the closed one, though) and dinos are all but confirmed. Of note, also, is the picture featuring a neutral/evil party lead by a lich.

This campaign has made me want to go back to Kingmaker and play a little.
I actually never finished the game, I just kept starting new characters and getting a little farther.

An hour in the game crashed though, so I'm starting to remember why I never actually got to the end.
Really hope this game has a bit more testing done!

While true for the average skeleton or zombie, it's definitely not the case for intelligent undead like liches, vampires, wraiths or even lowly ghouls. These have their souls chained to their decaying remains in an unending torment.

 

[LannTheStupid]

What do you mean by "explicit rolls?" The game already has a combat log for dice rolls.

I think when the probability of the hit is shown as percentage it leaves very non-D&D visual impression. IMHO it's better to show nothing as Owlcat do. Especially when, as you've said, the rolls are available in the log.

However, I like their animation of skill checks.

I'm on 2,000 hrs with no crashes, so could be on your end at this point. I did wait six months to buy the game.

If you really want to play the game then go to GOG and see what troubleshooting steps are suggested. All the game crashes are fixable since Extended Edition or a couple of patches after that.

If you want to blame the game instead of playing it I wholeheartedly support your endeavor. Just don't forget to vote Kitsune if you're a backer.

 

[purpleblob]

Yes, alpha in April!! Can't wait

 

[The_Mask]

I've had only had 1 crash/playthrough. Always Betrayer's Flight. Always at the part where you need to go punk Tristian. That is literally it. The game is 100% solid otherwise.

 

[Efe]

there are definitely existing bugs
after playing too long i lose some/all of sounds
hovering over items highlights the slot they go on character.. this stops randomly
after reforging sword whatever you put on amiri's 4th weapon slot is unrecoverable.

but havent crashed in a long while.

 

[Technomancer]

after playing too long i lose some/all of sounds

Hate it. I think save reloads trigger it. I'm finishing the game right now and counted around 40 bugs throughout. Many are there since release. I don't they are going to fix them at this point.

 

[santino27]

Started a new Kingmaker playthrough this morning. No crashes during my playthrough. In fact, the only times I've crashed in the past 6 months is when alt-tabbing out of the game in full screen mode, which never was an issue for me before the EE.

Just fixed the bug that held up my first playthrough last month. Which means:

(a) took 'em long enough

(b) they're still at it

Lingering Performance on Archaeologist's Luck. Archaeologist is a great MC for a first playthrough which is why the bug was so unfortunate.

Oh glad that got fixed... my new playthrough is a 2h SF1/Pal2/Arch2/Slayer and I've been avoiding lingering performance because it was broken.

Hmm, the succubus is wearing a more revealing armor in the Lich image than in the Angel one, makes you think. Also it all but confirms that the elven cutie is a secret evil snake worshipper.

Nice catch!

Here are the two images, for easy comparison:

Hmm, the succubus is wearing a more revealing armor in the Lich image than in the Angel one, makes you think. Also it all but confirms that the elven cutie is a secret evil snake worshipper.

Which means I'll romance her until she reveals her true self, then I'll slay her in the name of justice.

 

[Cryomancer]

IF demons are a central part of the new pathfinder, will be romancable succubus companions?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

IF demons are a central part of the new pathfinder, will be romancable succubus companions?

Unless you want another Fall-from-Grace, pretty sure that romancing a Succubus is a death sentence.

The consequences of this romance in the story is what i an interested. It can make you a Vampire Noble like on D&D?

 

[ChildInTime]

IF demons are a central part of the new pathfinder, will be romancable succubus companions?

I mean yeah, Arushalae is romanceable. She is right there in the two images above.

Will it be tied to certain mythic paths though? Dunno if Pathfinder's Succubi work the same way as the Planescape ones, but it should be limited to Lich and Demon if that's the case.
