Pathfinder Kingmaker is bigger then Deadfire

[IndiraLightfoot]

Hehe! I can see that happening to me, since I'm so happy about all the character choices, but I know very little about the stuff that is specific for Pathfinder.

[Manveru123]

You should be able to create a good character with some basic IWD2 knowledge, assuming you don't play any paper D&D (like me). Just read the descriptions of abilities :D

[Chilloutman]

those loading times tho...

[Manveru123]

After Deadfire loading times, every other game feels instant

[Chilloutman]

BTW I dont know how its on other difficulities but i convinced that alchemist to lob firebombs... baaad idea

[xzar_monty]

Pathfinder looks supercool, although I did find something a little off-putting straight away: the number of possible portraits for your PC is quite small, and only a couple looked interesting. However, the NPC portraits are *great*.

[Manveru123]

No worries there's already a thread on Steam with a bunch of portraits. I agree that the current selection is ****e in both quality and quanity.

[Chilloutman]

so I think i need to give up on my current character, i am dead constantly and I have big problems with basic enemies, I still want to try challanging difficulty but i think this is maybe too much for me

[Manveru123]

You don't need to give up, just open Options and adjust difficulty. The game is very hard.

I'm being extremely stressed out by the time limit of the first act. I know it's generous and probably more than enough but it's there, and that suffices.  I still have 77 days left but that doesn't seem so much considering I managed to finish one side quest so far and... my party seriously needs more level ups.

I feel kinda stupid right now after not finding the game manual anywhere despite buying the whole damn thing (through Steam). I would've liked to check how exactly my Ranger develops, i.e. what are the specific rules. Where's the manual, folks?

I went ahead and bought the Imperial edition. I love the party split at the end of the tutorial. I got most of what I wanted, Barbarian girl, vampire cutie, and some tower shield lady. Kind of wanted the Dwarf instead, but I'll take her.

 

But why is that girl journaling as if she's in my party?

 

I had the hardest time deciding between Magus and Sorcerer. Magus looks like it has MAD issues so I gave up on it.

 

 

A neutral evil vampire cutie? Well well well.

And as per tradition you can't romance her. Curse this hollow world.

 

Alas, when will our demands for Viconia 2.0 be heard?

 

On reflection, I'm thinking about restarting as a Magus. Someone convince me not to.

[Blarghagh]

Since this game is old school, does that mean there's a demo I can try before deciding if I want to purchase?

I know there is an in game encyclopedia, but I can't seem to find if there's a manual somewhere (I don't have the game yet to say).

This neat Pathfinder CRPG with love from Russia makes me recall something that feels like yesterday. Obsidian gave us a survey literally packed with questions about if we would like to see a Pathfinder CRPG made by the Obsidz. I merrily said "Yes, please" to just about all of those suggestions. Thereafter, no more word on that. Am I ridiculously optimistic in hoping that OE may produce something Pathfinder-licious with Paizo cheering 'em on? I know, PoE is similar in many ways, but the survey certainly had no problems with suggesting that we could have them both from Obsidian.

 

I think they changed their strategy from working on established IPs to working on their own IPs. That way when they end up selling their company, it's worth more than it would be by working on others licenses.

[Daled]

I'm really liking it for now as a whole, is a bit more BG like narratively (character are caricatures and don't speak like real people as PoE characters do), but the rules, the combat and the balance of it I can only describe as horrible.

[Gfted1]

Maybe I can revisit the thought of buying it whenever someone mods out the timer.

[mant2si]

Hi everyone, could someone explain for me in short - what the difference between 3.5 from NWN and 3.5 from Pathfinder, is something like Bard/Blackguard/RDD or Cleric/Bard/Monk still possible ? Is UMD/Acrobatic/Spellcasting/Discipline still required for all top tier builds ?

Can sorcs not switch out spells at level up in Pathfinder? I picked magic missile at creation even though my subclass gets it for free at level 3 with the plan of switching it out for something else but it looks like I may have screwed myself out of a spell instead.

Yep, but the encyclopedia doesn't tell you what kind of options are available for Ranger at lvl2. Like, whether it's a simple choice between two-weapon or ranged, or whether you have more options as per PnP rules. Turned out you have more options. The encyclopedia only tells you you make a combat-style choice at lvl2, but doesn't tell you the options. D'oh.

 

As it happens, the game looks great, but I'm going to wait for a couple of patches before really playing it. Not that I found any bugs, but there are guaranteed to be some around.

I know right? They're such postenagos!

Magus seems to be a really bad base class if you want to add Prestige levels - or mutli class in general.

[Chilloutman]

I think I am going to take a break for a while, game is getting on my nerves, there is time limit on first act, every freaking spider i fight lower my streaght by -2, so after few fights my frontliners are unnable to hit anything and when you rest you only recover ONE lost attribute, so if your fighter get bitten 3times, you need to rest 3 times to get your STR back and I didn't found single potion or spell to restore them. It seems like there is too much trash fights with long term effects to play this on higher difficulty or you really have to be master of DnD. Or I really sucks

 

I also don't like party members. All frontliners are ladies for some reason (actually except for that depressed dwarf all companions are females) and I am really not enjoying most of their classes

[Gfted1]

Jeez, I gotta stop reading this thread. Chilloutman is single handedly describing everything I hate in my gaming. Except party race/sex. I don't care about that unless it involves some kind of bonus.

[InsaneCommander]

I haven't checked the game yet, but I'll probably play as a wizard or sorcerer. Are there any nice robes for them?
