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

[user]

Obviously there was a lot more to cover. But bros, I started losing focus.

I won't rest till I see my question about the time limits! Take our fisting energy

 

[Quillon]

Is there mounted combat in P&P?

Yep.

[User0001]

So could be Mounted, indeed.

 

[Pink Eye]

I am going to sleep. Going through a two hour long video and writing notes down, has seriously exhausted me.

 

[LannTheStupid]

I want to play Lich riding a Giant Vulture.

 

[frajaq]

Also, some things we can clarify:

https://fextralife.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous-an-interview-with-owlcat-games/

Wrath of the Righteous will not feature a Turn-Based mode, or any multiplayer of any kind. While Alexander noted that Owlcat really enjoyed the fan-made patch that allows for Kingmaker to be played in a Turn-Based mode, they had no plans to implement it into Wrath of the Righteous. And while cooperative play is something that Alexander said they would love to see in future Pathfinder titles, they simply didn’t have the resources to implement it properly into Wrath of the Righteous, and so they are focusing on making the best single player experience possible.

Coop play is a waste of resources for games like this. TB would be great but I'm sure the mod will be updated quickly to work with WotR.

Without advertising coop you don't get the portion of your audience that forces their friend to buy a game to play together, play for 5 hours once then never play it again because they can't schedule time, hate waiting for someone to shop for an hour or just go back to apex Legends. That's two sales and you don't even have to hear them complain about your game on the forums afterwards.

 

[DeepOcean]

Bullshit, it's Marital combat.

But what does that mean?

Wife: Frying pan throw.
You: Dodge: 39 roll, success.
Wife: Vase throw.
You: Direct hit dodge: 40 roll, successful
You: Vase hits the wall, dodge for splinters AoE: success, dodge for half damage.
You: Improved dodging feat, takes no damage from AoE splinters.

 

[Dr Skeleton]

Dunno why they don't want to have TB officially in the game, but yeah, it's the same engine, so there should be no issues with having the mod for WotR too. Maybe that's why, they know modders will do it, so they can instead spend their time on mounted combat and horse animations

someone make a tier list of all the classes that are gonna be in this game thanks

Pink Eye's list:

1. Monk

ERYFKRAD's list:

1. Barbarian

Spoiler

My list:

1.Magus

 

[Ontopoly]

Druids are the best. So many spells that most people won't see because there is no Druid companion. I made harrim a Druid and took the one level cleric hit. At least that way he isn't held back by his charisma. I hope we get a Druid in this one but we might just get like 3 Paladins.

Anyone who actually played the game knows that the best class is Kineticist, no contest.

Yes but it takes resources away from making the base single player game good, so for a monocled studio like Owlcat, that is a waste of resources because their goal is to make a good game

 

[Grampy_Bone]

I was already fine with the Kingmaker class list but more is always better.

More spells, more feats, more weapon types, more everything. Spring attack maybe? Skirmisher builds?

Mounted combat would be dope AF. Spears get a whole new dimension. Cavalier PrC/Kit, hell yes.

Multiplayer is only ever used by .01% of players and modders will add turn based. so no big deal.

I can guarantee you every companies' goal is to make money. No company is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. Maybe individual employees might find passion in their work but money is what it's ultimately about.

 

[Abu Antar]

Will there be a Codex fundraiser for this or Cyber Knights? If not, I'm gonna back the usual way.

Infinitron

Why would would we do a fundraiser for Cyber Knights?

As I said earlier ITT, I'm working on organizing a fundraiser for this. No reason for you not to pledge as usual in the meantime, though. Help unlock those stretch goals.

 

[The Wall]

Now a real question: Has mounted combat ever been done at all in any isometric cRPG?! [please provide examples in pictures]

Maybe my brain is broken, but it can't think of single such case

 

[LannTheStupid]

Also, Owlcat need to add horse armor as DLC if the mounted combat goal is achieved.

Dude, it will most definitely look, play and feel like crap. When forces clash and lock in, it will look totally jank. If you look at movies or read about it, horseback fighting is all about moving forward.

Ship combat in PoE. If we reach the goal we will have occasional forced text based mounted combat.

Turn your horse 90 degrees left.
Turn your horse 90 degrees right.
Move forward 100 meters.
Charge.

Obviously it is about return on investment but dedicating more of your limited resources to improving product quality as opposed to diverting those limited resources to marketeering fluff features like coop is perfectly valid.
That strategy appears to be working for Owlcat considering how well their KS is going.
