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

[Rinslin Merwind]

Imho main sin of armor design for Hellknights is how their armor bloated with symbols of their order. For example Order of Chain wears completely redundant amount of chains that will slow down knight's movement in combat and looks stupid in general. With same logic king's armor should consist from crowns all over. Designer should have been design one chain (for his weapon or his necklace), but looks in a way that everybody will say "Yep, this is hellknight of Chain Order" even if knight wears simple plate armor or even naked.

Ironically, that Order of the Chain design is the least offensive of the bunch. Not to beat too much on a dead horse, but it's a shame entertainment artists don't stick closer to actual, historical armour, a nice suit of Maximilian plate would be both cooler and more menacing than whatever the hell that shit's supposed to be, not to mention all the later Greenwich-style armour you can draw on if you want to go all out with the decorations. I'd sort of get it if most other games had authentic armours and you wanted to stand out from the crowd, but they're not, it's just one design more "different" than the other.

Hopefully they learned their lesson with kingdom management and the crusade system doesn't feel so tacked on this time around.
Cause as a concept, it's really awesome.

Pathfinder gnomes are shit because the entire standard Pathfinder generic high fantasy atmosphere is shit. You can like it only if:
- you are under 14 years old;
- you suffer from a severe sugar addiction.

Also, everybody praises Wayne Reynolds and its work, but, even if some of his "big pieces" (mainly scenes with monsters and more characters togheter) are cool, every single one of his characters design is horrible and utterly disgusting and the way he influenced Pathfinder art-style is undeniably decline.

Still better than humans.

I long for fantasy-themed game where human is non-existent.

Play wuxia games - there is only chinese.

 

[Pink Eye]

Oh yeah, Tale of Wuxia. That was recommended to me a few times in /pfkm/. I should get around to playing that.

 

[Reinhardt]

but for a hardened Mujahideen

It's your instructor.

Only manboobs are allowed.

 

[Sweeper]

Don't be ridiculous. This isn't a prime-time TV-show intended for a millennial audience. Negroes don't play RPGs.

It's true, RPGs were always a white man's game.
And therefor, obviously, the superior choice of entertainment.
I wonder if ol' Addie would have been an aficionado.
He'd be out there playing his max charisma Elf paladin, trying to genocide all the Dwarves.

Dude that game is absolutely for you.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Dude that game is absolutely for you.

Are there any Kitsune to play with?..

Dude that game is absolutely not for you.

 

[Gyor]

Are Hellknights like Chaos Chosen in Warhammer?

They are like Blackguards but not really. They have to defeat a demon in combat to become a Hellknight.

Hellknights defeat a Devil to become Hellknights. I think demons would make more sense too, but its a Devil they fight and it has to have equal hit dice to the character.

TURN BASED MODE

About damn time this came out. Pathfinder was infinitely better with TB combat. Why anyone does RTwP is beyond me.

When you are dealing with trash mobs, rtwp is better. When you are fighting Pitax king using like 666 summoned skeletons, wait each one take his turn can take eternities. If you like to use a lot of summons, turn based without concurrent turns takes too long.

it doesnt matter if summons make it take too long since you can switch between modes seamlessly.

With the exception that with Kingmaker it actually works, so there are no reasons to belive it won't work in WotR. I mean, a single persone managed to make it work almost seamlessly with a mod, an entire studio CAN'T fuck it up.

Also, arcanum got the real time mod by publisher pressures in last moment. The situation is completely different.

Nah, it was planned from the start. January 1999 https://web.archive.org/web/2006032...ive.ign.com/features/interviews/timcain.shtml

Jonric: What about the gameplay system? Fallout was real-time with hex-based movement and turn-based combat. Will the new game be different? How will communication with NPCs, inventory et al work?

Tim Cain: The new game is all real-time, although there is a turn-based option for people (like me) who like combat to be less twitch-based.

Having flashbacks of the Poison Beasts in Wizards and Warriors whose (very strong) poison kept ticking in real-time while your party was in turn-based. Had to legit quit the game for awhile due to not being able to get past them.

there was a mod/fix for that though, i knew i had it when i played the game last time (like 15 years ago or so).

 

[Desiderius]

Yes, when I played it again 10 yrs ago it was thankfully no longer a problem.

It's the 29th! Next month is coming! Where is news! Where is alpha! Ahhhh! I want alpha monks!

It's the 29th! Next month is coming! Where is news! Where is alpha! Ahhhh! I want alpha monks!

You didn't see the news post? The alpha got cancelled due to COVID 19. They may reconsider rescheduling it in October, depending on how much of the dev team survives.
