tedium
>>744620270tranny game.
>>744620270You're in for a long as CRPGThe gameplay is assThe story has some good payoffsThe characters range from complete dogshit to pretty coolThe soundtrack is awesome but not varied enough for a game of that length
Just don't play on harder than Core.
>>744620658RT doesn't have trannies, therefore I must conclude that Pathfinder is woke but not Owlcat
>>744620270Do you like pic related? Either the writing, style, or maybe just the aesthetic? If so you'll love Owlcat's products.What's in it? Good ruleset, decent mechanics, mediocre fun, voice acting best described as a "mixed bag", uninspired quirky cartoon graphics, bad characters, terrible balance, and unironically, without hyperbole some of the worst writing you will ever encounter in any medium.I'm not kidding on the last one, there's fan fiction written by teenagers that has better writing than this game. Also extreme wokeism, the first two main characters you meet are a black woman, a lesbian Orc, and the lesbian Orcs MtF transsexual "lesbian" lover. Also, not content with one tranny, there's a second tranny that you can ask for a sex change potion.It's not even just the wokeism that makes it shit either, there are actually games with woke politics out there that are very competently written, but this is absolutely not one of them.More or less just what >>744620658 said
>>744620270A frankly not very good game that still somehow mogs every other CRPG.
>>744620270cucking
>>744620270Personally I didn't like it, the story starts quickly with high stakes that feel unearned, there's no good build up to hook you into its narrative, world or characters.The gameplay is very shallow and superficial, you can't interact with anything around you, everything is a setdressing, I tried to mess around and climb on a roof and i couldn't even do that, can't even walk below it as when you click the character stops at invisible walls.Combat is a slog, its boring and repetitive, the game lacks enemy variety to keep encounters fresh, the dungeons are designed in a very mundane and one dimensional way, so exploring them is just boring, its worse than Skyrim dungeons and thats not a high bar.I found its rpg systems archaic and convoluted for no good reason, there's a lot of reading required you may spend a single gaming session just in menus, but the end result is barely different, suffice to say its quantity over quality, you get a feeling they throw mud at a wall to see what sticks.Quest design is just mediocre, the music is forgettable and i dropped the game at act 4 because I was just not enjoying it at all and i had to use my time in a better way.I'll also note that its still buggy as fuck despite many patches and shitton of DLCs.Play it only if you want to see the Pathfinder tabletop, otherwise, imho its just not a good use of your time, if you care about that at all. I'd say its massively overrated but its not, the game scored accurately, its just that some fans oversell it. I caved in and i was disappointed but they made me buy it. I'd rate it 4/10

Also mandatory. After that, the game is pretty great. Just ignore the crusade builder crap that was tacked on and roleplay all you want. Also what >>744620839 said.
>>744623115>the good ArueshalaeThis one.>>744622461>Getting so sick of the terrible companionsEmber, Camilla, Arueshalae and Regill are mandatory for any run I do that's not Swarm. Maybe the teifling kid and Doran just because I like finding severed heads in my bag.
>>744622738>best CRPG combatNot even remotely close. It doesn't even fucking feel like playing PF 1e on tabletop. Either you smash your autoattack party into a fuckfest of generic enemies, or you spam 100 buffs before fighting a boss with disgusting number and ability bloat. The build autism is really the actual best part of the game, especially the branching mythic paths.
>>744621910>the story starts quickly with high stakes that feel unearned, there's no good build up to hook you into its narrative, world or characters.Every WRPG starts like that. >inb4 Mass EffectNot real RPGs, just 3rd person shooters with dialogue choices. Plus those games are dick and the only good things about them are Chicken Wife and Lizard Bro. Point still stands.
>>744623276>Either you smash your autoattack party into a fuckfest of generic enemies, or you spam 100 buffsWait people actually try to play cRPGs like this? I just set everything to minimum difficutly and gib enemies with a single swing. I'm here for the roleplay not to get annoyed
>>744623276The beat CRPG gameplay is Underrail. The best CRPG overall is Arcanum.
>>744623370>Every WRPG starts like that.Ask me how I know you've never played any WRPGs other than TES and Biowareslop
>BG3roons immediately swarm the threadI have BG3 fatigue
>>744623618No one has mentioned bg3 in this entire thread>>744623224That looks nothing like the game's artstyle, pic related is superior
>>744623618I have bot fatigue.
>>744623685>That looks nothing like the game's artstyleAnd for most portraits, that's a good thing, since most of the art is shit.>pic related is superiorActually that's not bad at all. Nice.
>>744623612>Pathfinder>Rogue Trader>BG2>for what's worth, BG3>ShadowrunWas gonna do Frostpunk but that's a survival game not a roleplaying game.Name another WRPG. We're not talking Suikoden or Growlanser or something. Can't even recall another WRPG that's not just a 3rd person shooter pretending to be a WRPG. If you even begin to type "Disco Ely--" I'm gonna rape my laptop to fuck your bitchness out of my computer...
>>744620270BuffslopReloadslopAnd a game that is too long for its own good. The story isn't interesting enough to justify the 300 hour slog.
>>744624143...Colony Ship?
>>744623883That portrait was made here by some anon back in the beta, though to this day I still haven't found the original post
>>744620270great game, woke is definitely there tho, biggest real flaw is that the game is too damn long
>>744626093The biggest gameplay problems are the crusade stuff and hidden time limits.Even if you like the crusade stuff you have to start from scratch 3/4 of the way through because the game sabotaging all your shit while you're in the abyss. And I don't know where Owlcat's obsession with hidden timers started but there's so much shit in the background running checks on what exact day it is, where you might burn days just changing your prepared spells due to a misclick or something else innocent.
>>744623115Oooh, that my for the mod anon, didn't know it existed. One question tho, I used a custom portrait that I found online and out it in the game files. I believe that if I use mods to change companion portraits, then I will lose my own custom portrait since the mod changes the paths, right? I would prefer it if I could keep my own custom portrait and the changed ones for the companions at the same time
>>744621507To be fair, in a fantasy setting where shit like shapes hitting exists, etc. One could argue that a potion that turns people into the opposite gender, isn't so far reached. That being said, is there any point in the story where I can have selah and the two lesbians killed? Without being forced into an evil mythic path? I'm still very new to this
>>744623482>I'm here for the roleplayThen you picked the worst series available for it with the most stifling and character-breaking mandatory choices. You'd get better roleplay out of a F2P MMO or MMO trial than this shit, but most people don't consider those options because they're here for the thing you seem surprised people want.The point of a Pathfinder game is projecting your builds. If you want to play Pathfinder to roleplay, find a tabletop group, because the only video games that exist for it have modified Paizo APs with factually downgraded stories and weird faggoty characters that tend to be universally reviled.
>>744620270I need sex with ember
>>744620270You should probably install the buff mod, otherwise you spend like 3 hours buffing with each party member before every semi-big fight. And some of these buffs don't last long enough, by the time you are finished, the older buffs may be gone already. The mod fixes that by allowing you to select specific buff and combines them into one button
>>744626669That mod doesn't touch your PC's portrait
>>7446241432 of those games are the same shitty wokenigger company, surely you are smarter than a gorilla >BG2Eh, maybe notIf you can't understand why looking at a sequel that is a direct continuation of a previous game (that ends with you discovering divine heritage no less) like this and complaining that it starts too bombastically is utterly stupid, I'm not sure what to tell you, what you have is an IQ problem.>Name another WRPGYou mean that don't immediately give you either world-ending stakes or a "chosen one" spiel in the first hour? Sure thing, here you go, here's 12:Baldur's Gate 1Neverwinter NightsNeverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide + Hordes of the UnderdarkNeverwinter Nights 2 + Mask of the BetrayerDivinity: Original Sin (not that there are really any good characters anyway)NehrimEnderalExpeditions: VikingExpeditions: RomePlanescape: TormentKnights of the Old RepublicKnights of the Old Republic: 2These are just what I've played and off the top of my head.
>>744623482To some people, build autism, strategizing and being challenged is fun.
>>744621507>wokeismYou talk like a fucking moron, you know nobody will take your opinions seriously.
>>744624143Baldur's Gate 2 is a direct sequel and thus the stakes are tied to the previous games. You are intended to import your character and continue. This is as silly as claiming that the stakes feel unnecessarily high at the start of Wizardry 8 because you failed to play Wizardry 6, import into Wizardry 7, and then import into Wizardry 8. Skill issue.Baldur's Gate 3 never feels like the stakes are high. The entire beginning of the game, you are detached from everything as you wander around a refugee crisis. The part of "high stakes that feel unearned" is actually having something at stake. As far as you know, for the entire first chapter of the game, you have nothing to gain or lose. You're just some fucking faggot retard fighting goblins to save refugees while otherworldly voices whisper at you threatening to kill you. If you think the constant threat of death is "high stakes" in an RPG, then you probably consider every platformer with holes and game with a hunger bar "high stakes".So yeah, it seems like you've never played any WRPGs.>Name another WRPGTry Ultima, which is the cornerstone of RPGs to begin with and has half a dozen good games under it's belt. If this wasn't your go-to, then you are absolutely out of your element here. Or are you asking specifically for CRPGs like Icewind Dale, which doesn't fit your narrative at all, like the rest of the infinity engine games? Temple of Elemental Evil was even re-released not too long ago yet you just pretend that doesn't exist. But why would you be discussing CRPGs specifically when most people would first stop at Arcanum or Fallout?
>>744626862I am pretty sure you can get the Orc Dyke killed at multiple points, and I know for a fact you can kill Seelah yourself, there's at least one decision on some quest where if you try to do a thing she sides against you and goes hostile, there's probably more but I didn't take her everywhere due to how bland she is.I am not sure about the troon, I haven't seen any options that would make xir hostile.
>>744620270a game that's overall worse than kingmakerthe first one stumbles into quite a few of the same pitfalls as the sequel, but pace and theming is simply superiormost importantly: kingmaker has a total of 3 based manlet companions harrim haters gtfo you don't know what comedy is while wotr has 1 based manlet and 1 cringe manlet maybe even 2 if you count staunton, which makes the second game objectively quantifiably worse
>>744627692You can prefer the setting, stakes, and tone of Kingmaker, but Wrath is objectively an improvement in almost every area. >pace ... is simply superior>KingmakerYou cannot be serious. Skipping 6 months because you finished that chapter's main quest is standard for that game, KM has notoriously awful pacing.Also Regill is worth the entire KM cast alone, the companions in that game suck hard and their personal quests and dialogues are comically front- or back-loaded. Camcam and Wendu are great, Woljif can be a bro, amd Seelah is massively overhated by underage culture warriors.
>>744627981Garbage taste
>>744627981Based actual player.If Owlcat ever made a third game with Wrath's depth but KM's lower stakes and more adventuring tone it would be godlike.>>744628047Amazing contribution.
>>744620270Lots of cuckoldry
>>744627981skipping time in two week stretches for rank ups and then catching after the main quest is indeed bad, but between pre-drezen acts and the excusrsion into abyss, i'll fucking take italso kingdom mismanagement > bootleg homm, but that's harder to gauge due to PLEASE NEUTER THIS MECHANIC INTO NOTHINGNESS options>the companions in that game suck hardas i said, the density of based manlets is my main metricand as far as everybody else is concerned, i am way more willing to tolerate funny retards than traitors and lunatics, with wotr it's always feast or famine, leaning towards famine>Camcam and Wendu are greatunderstandable, have an awful day
>>744628325The entire game is about redemption and forgiveness, and questioning what exactly good and evil is, no shit you're meant to give the misguided mortal retard a chance to fix himself. >>744628540Wendu is one of the better written companions in crpgs, and I've been playing them since before most of this board were born. Daeren has some great moments too while we're at it.
>>744628719>Wendu is one of the better written companions in crpgsShe's just a poorly done Viconia clone lmao
>>744628416Is there a non cuck option in the entire game? I know none of the hetero ones are exempt and I'm not on that faggot shit so idk about the rest.
>>744628719>no bro you don't get it wendy is so good once you see that specific route in her questline {X} hours laterthe mantra of rpg playersinto the woodchipper wendog goes, but daeran falls under the based retard category, he can staythat's what i mean by "feast or famine" btw, first three characters i am always glad to pick (banter-wise), but then the last two slots might as well be freewhile in kingmaker i only had to tolerate linzi, and even then her greatest crime was the printing press incident
>>744621453Paizo is pretty fucking woke. Most tabletop RPG publishers are. You got a weird spectrum since about 2010 where games are slightly left of center to full on rainbow haired SJW retarded and a smattering of shit with more edge than a sackful of razor blades to the point of hilarity.
>>744629257
>>744629332>quippy faggot that can't stop telling you how much he wants to have gay sex with youNo thanks
>>744629459>Used demon cumragCome the fuck on bro.
>>744629879That has nothing to do with cuckoldry. Purified and revirginized btw
>>744629954Nah
>>744620270>Sell a power fantasy>Story is about power fantasy >Buff the monsters so much that your build feels like ass unless you're minmaxxing.Rogue trader is significantly feel more power fantasy than pathfinder games since you can punch above weight AND the game also let you break it as much as you can with reasonable effort(lack of prebuffing bullshit really helps.) If paizo had any brain they should shit on 1E purist and make 2E pathfinder CRPG so newcomers don't see 1 million laundry list of buffing and rightfully fucked off afterwards. And keep it 4 man party, owlcat games proved that 6 man party doesn't fucking work on the ruleset without buffing everyone sky high.
>>744629954I actually really liked her non romance path on the Angel route. Just being a pure celestial paragon that even other angels look up to. Also denying Nocticula constantly and watching her lose her fucking mind over it.
>>744629604considering the ABSOLUTE STATE of "romance" """discussion""" in carpig threads, you better make sure you ain't throwing any rocks out of your own glass house over thereand amusingly enough, literal zesty nigga is way more boring than metrosexual quippy faggot, so clearly there is more to being a smarmy homo
>>744630141None of the girls are faggots, because they're girls, nor do they spend 90% of their dialogue quipping, so don't worry about the glass house
>>744629989Yah>>744630078What? None of those things happen, none of the angels mention her, neither does Nocticula outside of one time (where she's mocking her, not seething)
>>744630389The angel path has several specific dialogue options when people bring up allowing a demon in your party isn't very angel of you. Even avoiding her romance you can stand up for her with path options essentially saying you can read alignment and see the light inside her. She's always super thankful, and you can see it means a lot for a angel incarnation to recognize that.
>>744630510>The angel path has several specific dialogue options when people bring up allowing a demon in your party isn't very angel of youNo it doesn't, the only piece of reactivity involving Arueshalae and the Angel path is the one you mentioned about seeing her soul, when Galfrey throws her meltie. And Galfrey complaining about her happens regardless of your path
>>744630574I just finished this playthrough man. You get 2-3 in act 3, like a ton in act 4 including the Nocticula one you mentioned, and at least two in act 5. You might even get one in Drezen siege, but I left her in the jail.
Im gonna turn arue in a melee unit, what weapon should I give her?I went for starknives last time but im doing angel instead of azata so the good knives are unavailable without cheating them in and i kinda dont want to do that
>>744629954Arue owes me a whole book's worth of sex positions including leathery wings and pointy tails and horns
>>744630207>wilfully ignoring the epic debates over which romanceable girl has the greatest bodycount (both literal and figurative) according to random banterhey man, if you do not have the brain damage to engage with all that, then good for youbut then it's weird to focus on homo romance you did not take you didn't right? or on how the companions are terribly one-note with their commentsand if you didn't like him, alright, just one more point for kingmaker then
>>744623115I kinda wanna try it just for seelie but having to install it with fucking .bats is a little worrying
>>744630776Horsefucker cav unit.
>>744630776Are you using the reclass mod or just wasting 8 levels for no reason?
>>744630875companions start at lvl 1, so im still technically paying tax, but i can remedy that with toybox fuckery anyway
>>744630672And I have played angel multiple times. You're mistaking generic dialogue you get regardless of your mythic path with angel exclusive dialogue. Pic related is no exaggeration all angel gets, and you don't have to take my word for it, go and check the mythic path reactivity guide made by the dataminer Ranadiel on Reddit
>>744620658More like ntr
>>744630927She could be a cool crit charger with any of the fat reach weapons.
>>744631070>crit chargeryou mean mounted or just spear infantry?I kinda like the idea of the latter actually
>>744630776I specced her into elven cure blades and gave her Second Chance, she was my scaled fist dex/cha main tank so the bonuses to hit on every miss helped offset the crane wing defensive penalties. Curve blades being 2handed means you get 1.5x dex to damage from mythic finesse and the 2handed bonuses on mythic power attack She also gets great mileage out of the Cloak of Sweet Lies like this.I think she ended up Dirge Bard 11/Mutation Warrior 6/Scaled Fist 2/Demonslayer 1 and she was untouchable on Core.
>>744631215Yeah like one of the crit weapons for melee charges. I don't like mounted builds as a rule since managing them and the animal bugs out all the fucking time.
>>744631474>Scaled FistMmm
>>744631474I thought crane wing didnt work unless you had the offhand free
>>744630968>Digging through the entire reactivity log for each good path.You're right and I have no idea why I have such vivid memories of that. I'm sorry.
>>744631543It's not supposed to, but it's a bug that has existed since Kingmaker.
>>744631684So does it always work then or is it only for 2 handers?
>>744631724You can even sword and board with it, it's a broken feat.
>>744631563I humbly accept your apology
>>744631869>>744631724They already fixed it
>>744623115while I hate the shoehorned nigger, why did the dark elves get hit too. They did nothing. Justice for my boys
Arue should be dorkier
>>744620270Reddit writing
>>744632127Probably because the actual dark elves are drow, as in, pitch black skin with white hair
>>744620376This, the entire game revolves arou d giving your team buffs and either dountering or removing your enemie's buffs
>>744621910>the story starts quickly with high stakes that feel unearned, there's no good build upThere's 20 hours before you get mythic powers and the game actually starts, if anything there's way too much buildup>The gameplay is very shallow and superficial, you can't interact with anything around you, everything is a setdressing, I tried to mess around and climb on a roof and i couldn't even do thatIt's an RPG not a fucking imsim>the dungeons are designed in a very mundane and one dimensional way, so exploring them is just boring, its worse than Skyrim dungeonsReplay skyrim because every skyrim dungeon is a single winding path with no branches that opens up into a room sometimes.Not reading the rest of your post since it's retarded

>>744620270I'm an absolute casual. Suggest me a thematically appropriate class that works on normal, please.
>>744620270Long game with fun and a terrible combat system.
>>744634612anything. seriously, people overthink their class decision when on normal and under literally anything will work. even shit like a summoning-focused class because summons are still useable on that difficulty. if you REALLY want to think about it go for a cavalier since mounted combat exists but only one companions kinda uses it.
>>744620270I find it interesting many people who didn't like KM somehow ended up liking WotR despite it effectively being more of the same. Was it overly demonized timers?

>>744635650problem with owlcat games is no one else does what they do so people who enjoy it are stuck with them and their quirks, like the management mini-game obsession.

>>744620270A downgrade plot-wise and companions-wise over Kingmaker.
How's Eldritch Archer in this game? In Kingmaker he was pretty strong, basically a wizard combined with a ranger, and you could do a full attack as a ranger, then throw a fireball as well on the same turn.
>>744640410Perfect example of how to tell people you play on the lowest difficulty without directly saying it.
>>744620270>ignore polshitter opinions>ignore waifushitter opinionsA very fucking good time. Play the game without paying attention to their dogshit opinions
>>744623618This is what a persecution complex looks like
Any anons have some advice for picking a race/class for Kingmaker for a first time player? I'm just going to go with the normal difficulty as I don't know about Pathfinder's systems overall. I've been thinking of doing it before WotR as the latter has a more epic scale of events and Kingmaker coming first. I have all the DLC for Kingmaker as far as I know. I'm most interested in playing >Elf >Aasimar>Half Elf>Human from a a RP standpoint for first char. Classes there are a ton of options and some it seems you can only pick later with certain stats (Arcane Trickster, Eldritch Knight, Duelist, Aldori Swordlord - which is odd considering I thought Aldori focus was on dueling swords etc), but aside from some of those I was thinking maybe one of the >Alchemist>Druid>Inquisitor>Magus>Paladin>Ranger >Rogue >Sorcerer >Fighter (specifically Aldori Defender?)classes, not sure if basic or one of the variants in most cases. I like the idea of the Magus (and many of its variants) , Eldritch Knight, Aldori Swordlord but some of those seem to come later. I thought maybe starting as Aldori Defender may be an "easy" starting playthrough? Also, any suggestions for>Kingmaker ModsI see there's a huge fucking portrait mod on Nexus which looks worthwhle given I was looking at the default ones and they literally just seem like other character portraits from the game (ie the dashing swashbuckler character seems to be the leader of that Varnhold's Lot DLC campaign). Any others worthwhile? or things I should know going into it?
>>744644372Race depends on your class. As far as class goes I'd go for something charisma based since you're going to be a governor of a region.So Paladin/Sorcerer/The cha based Magus subclass.Haven't played Kingmaker in ages, if bubble buffs exists for it get that.
>>744645525>As far as class goes I'd go for something charisma based since you're going to be a governor of a region.This doesn't have to be a hard rule, though. Inquisitor has the Acolyte background which inverts Charisma and Wisdom for social check purposes, for example.
Eh, my most fun run was a female elf wich I was able to do a full BaB character, still casting nine, with the lich path. got second chance as a weapon and just went to town If I didnt want to cast too much. Hard dfficulty, fuck unfair.Doing OP shenanigans like a sort of Golgari/asphodel commander was plenty fun,

>>744639723Nope, succubi can turn into men but she stopped being a succubus altogether, including the loss of her shapeshifting powers, he's just a larping tranny projecting his headcanon onto her. Oh and her banter with Nenio talking about the possible race of your children is male only, btw
>>744642310Probably fine, though for whatever reason people just don't seem to harp on about Magus like they did for Kingmaker.>>744644372I always like Aasimar Scaled Fist Monk, it's a CHA class so good for governance and the monk's unarmed idle animations will have him doing aerobics during throne room scenes which is always pretty funny. It's very strong and flexible for a martial too.

>>744652825SLOP.
>>744653248Shut the fuck up Sosiel it's just Numerian art
>>744623115Thank god the no fag mod is a seperate download. I dont want be locked into male romances if I play a female char.
>>744620270>what am I in for?
>>744620270Pathfinder has no gameplay. As long as you make a good character by avoiding the trap options in character creation, you just attack move through the level after applying buffs. It’s so boring.
>>744654232not reading all that russian bro
>>744654476Thats hebrew my dude
Wh40RT has so much cooler art and atmosphere, its not even close
>>744643931A rare voice of reason.
>>744654231>if I play a female charYou're already a fag troon, might as well embrace it.
>>744620270Shadowrun dragonfall is a million times better and no one talks about that, drop that shit and go with it instead
>>744654756>no one talks about thatBecause it's dogshit, also buy an ad.
>>744620270Balls hurt gay 3
>>744621507Name one example of bad writing, tranny.
>>744654756The shadow run games have no romances and you play weaklings who job to corporations and have no agency. Who would want to play garbage like that? WotR makes the PC powerful.
>>744654818I would call you an owlcat employee, but you didn't reply with a 15 thousand words essay
>>744654941Go watch Dragon Ball, Jose
>>744620270Look up a build guide if you plan on playing anything above easy
>>744654639The mythic paths is way better than whatever the alignment system is called in 40K though
>>744654756The gameplay is slow, boring and has no visceral feedback, and character building isn't anything special either
Now that we know Owlcat will be developing BG4, do you plan to play it?
>>744656004All they said is that they would, not that they're actually doing it
>>744638517Sexiest character in the game is Minagho
>>744642374Nothing below unfair requires constant buffing
>>744657034Everything above easy requires constant buffing.
>>744657171No
>>744655408>muh mythicsit has its moments but its takes place in generic fantasy world with marvel tier story, companions arent good either.
>>744657034you didn't play the game
>>744620270Bugs.
>try magic deceiver azata>it eclipses even merged casters bullshit wise and can absolutely annihilate any encounterjesus fuck
>>744620270Great game but i would never recommend it because of bugs and because the engine runs like shit.
>>744659678Magic deceiver is just great in generalMost fun caster in any crpg imo
>>744660371ugly slop
>2 of 3 romanceable females are crazy bpd chicks>the other is a succubuswho the fuck thought this was a good idea?
>is that a... le dretch??>the weakest demon out there??>weaker than a boar??>better give it 32AC DR 12/- and a +17 to saves>and a screen wide cc
>>744634776reminds me of that piece where Baphomet rapes the female aasimar KC
>>744645525Ahh, if you're playing another sort of class is there a way to make up for it? I know the one Magus has native Sorc powers instead of Wizard powers, but even Aldori Defender seems to have Persuasion as a one of its core traits or whatever so I thought maybe that would work for the social stuff which of course I plan to focus on too. It does seem odd to have a lot of the game's management kingdom elements hobbled unless you play a Cha based class?I don't see anything labeled bubble buffssFor mods (at least on Nexus, anywhere else worth checking out?) I see the highest ratings are for >Bag of Trickswhich seems to be a lot of little tweaks and possibly cheats/hacks>Respecializationapparently the base game has no respec feature>Portrait pack I'm definitely getting at least the "Tier 1, best quality" versions since there are few portraits by default that aren't just other chars in the story! >Mods to add new races/classesNot sure if these are worth it but probably won't bother to start as there is enough of both etc. >>744648871Ah, I'll keep that in mind, I hadn't considered a Monk for an early playthrough.
>>744660496Literally the only thing holding him back is his weak chapter 1 performance but by the gods does he grow into a god laterAnd even in chapter 1 the fused spells can annihilate all hardest encounters by completely cucking strong superbosses like that one summoned demonEven the subclasses are great, i think living deity is insane in particular because of the auto-empower on lighting spells from wind revelation working with fused spells
Alright it's been sitting in my library for a while and I finished Rogue Trader last week.I played two campaigns of the pf2e TTRPG so I know the basics. I'm confident I can build functional characters, but I'm no optimization god.What difficulty do I play on? From a quick glance, Core states it acts like how pf2e normally does, just with a few more enemies. Do that and maybe enable character retraining?
>>744621910Its better about its start than kingmaker for sure. In wotr you are brought into the city against your will, fall straight down into a hole, become a chosen one twice before you leave the hole, and then have no chance of fighting your way out of the city. With the city having the stakes of "If we blow up the world is covered in demons" and then while you are in the city you become the chosen one up to 4 more times, and that shits weird isn't it? And then you fight off the big bad in the city and get oromoted before you can leave.You find out more of the hook by the middle of chapter 3.
>>744638643Kingmaker starts with you being an adventurer and taking a job and getting told at the job briefing that you are going to be king of a place because the questgiver says so and because you hate the gnome whos bullying you. Its worse than wotr in terms of forced unearned power.
>>744660695>he's not going to pretend succubi are not popular
>>744661049Casters generally struggle very early on unless they have a pet desuYeah all the subclasses are super cool, you can really tell owlcat ahd a lot of fun with the class and just tons of ideas
It took me like 12 attempts to make a decent sorcerer gish build. I mean its more dragon disciple than sorcerer at this point but at least it progresses 3 bloodlines and casts and uses a big weapon properly.
>>744662147Wouldnt sorc 16 and dd 4 be best if you care about bloodlines and casting? Dd stops giving you much past that level
>>744662418I used air elemental bloodline with bloodline ascemsion to make my electricity ignore immunity and turn all attacks electric, copper dragon bloodline to level all the way through dragon disciple, and mythic second bloodline abyss for extra strength abilities that levels on any bloodline class. Then took all 10 levels of dragon disciple for balanced stats before going back to sorcerer for more spells.
>>744661546>you are going to be king of a place because the questgiver says so and because you hate the gnome whos bullying youyou very obviously didn't pay attention
>>744661546the only problem with kingmaker is how the country who actually holds the territory is just a-okay with the pc declaring it a separate kingdom partwya through the gamethat is absurd and nonsense and no country ever gives up territory for nothing willingly, not even territory that they arent using. you should have to fight them tooth and fucking nail in an immense war for independence
>>744663392Did they have an actual claim on that part of the stolen lands? Also the country which experiences some kind of magical catastrophe every other week is probably not that appealing.
>>744627320>planescape tormenti meanthe game absolutely is a 'chosen one' gimmick with world-ending stakes, it just doesnt TELL you that until the last 10% of the game, so does that really count?
>>744663517they claim it insofar they say its theirs but thats how literally every single other country claims other land too. they do have a token presence in it prior to the PC getting there
>>744663192>player: well we're all here>amiri: why are we here>aldori: youre going on an expedition into the bad woods and the reward is your own kingdom>player: well I don't want to be king can I get something else>aldori: youre a greedy sonofabitch your own kingdom isnt enough fine we'll throw a banquet on your coronation>*every companion says they dont want to be king*>tutio or whatever his fucking name is: I gnomeman will obviously be leader and king>lindsey: well nobody wants you to be king make player the leader they're a natural!>player: but I don't want to be king>*castle gets attacked*>tutio: player is a traitor>*did literally nothing wrong*>aldori: well whoever kills the staglord is king so figure it out.
>>744663749the whole premise of the game is built on the 'do this task for us and we'll give you governship over this area'. it makes no sense to make a character who DOESNT want to rule
>>744663749Again, you didn't play the game, the entire point is getting your own BARONY (not a kingdom). That's why all the adventurers are there (that includes you) Jamandi essentially wants her own puppet to give her an edge against the Surtovas, and you are picked as leader because she comes to the conclusion that you and Tartuccion stood out among the rest, everything is properly explained, play the game
>>744663839Yeah but the issue is nobody knowing what the quest or reward is before they fucking show up and having no option to bow out. I get that its top secret that they want you to basically steal the lamd as a power play, but if everybody was established to be a superbadass who went there knowing the reward was land and a title, instead of giving the player the roleplay option to not want to be king (because the tabletop version was designed with only one player in the party getting the title), then it would actually be part of the set-up. If I want to play a reluctant hero the plot shouldn't start with "you're going to quit adventuring and be king because I want to make a powerplay and I'm obviously blatantly openly using you as a pawn" it should give a better reason for the player charactef to desire that outcome in universe rather than player outside of the game knowing what the title of the game is.
>>744663897Anon It's the first 5 minutes of the game, I've had this argument before. The barbarian chick straight up asks "why the fuck are we here, the notice asked for great warriors and said nothing else"
why the fuck can't i romance nenio
How good is the court poet for a caster heavy party? Planning to run MC, Daeran, Ember and Nenio at the same time which means all of them should benefit from it, and i will probably reclass Arue into it.
>play a game called kingmaker>nooooooooooooooooooooo I don't wanna be a king!!!!why do autists like this guy play video games? Go, play the tabletop game, that's where you get all the freedom you like
>>744664359I like the reluctant hero trope and have no ability to roleplay a character with griffith level ambition.
>>744664316Took 1000 fox dicks back home for "research", then decided it wasn't wirthwhile for her book so she forgot all about them.
>>744664316Deliberately to troll you, because devs knew you would want to. Her whole character is a dunk on RPG turbo nerds and min-maxers.
>>744664513>Her whole character is a dunk on RPG turbo nerds and min-maxersYou wish she was, she's just the lead writer's waifu and someone she finds genuinely hilarious, she isn't "dunking" on anything
>>744620270The main story is greatThe romances are great if you don't mind being the girl/guys first sexthe game play is shit and youll be so OP by act 5 that you wont want to finish the remaining for 30 hours of the game.You get insanely busted spells at the 9th level that delete every enemy even bosses in one turn even on the highest difficulties.
>Daeran's wildest dreams are about fucking Galfrey, his own cousinOurguy
>>744664674>you don't mind being the girl/guys first sexyou don't mind *not* being the girl/guys first sex
>>744654756Shadowrun games are actually a very lightweight introduction into CRPGs that are often overlooked.
>>744620270I can't get passed the awful models and writing to play the game for more than an hour. Why is owlcat so fucking bad at everything?
>>744652825BEGONE, THOTT
>>744664868
>>744664868This is how you actually write a redeemed succubus and she's actually a virgin.
>>744664724They’re pretty distant cousins no? Pretty sure it’s more of a power thing than an incest thing
>>744664774For games like this the only way to find a virgin waifu in the game is to make one and have her get corrupted by sluts and mansluts.
when is that weeb game coming out that's published by owlshart that one actually looks interesting
>>744665001>yet another PST larper who didn't actually play the game
>>744620270Some bullshit about angels and demons. And it's gay.
>>744665030
>>744665076Shadow of the Road? They also published Rue Valley, a Disco Elysium wannabe.
>>744665305yeah the shadow one
>>744620270reddit companions, dogshit story, imbalanced monsters, glacial pacing
>>744665076>>744665305That reminds me. Another IP I'd like Owlcat to take a crack at.
>>744626862>>744627661Aeon allows you to forcefully correct her, undoing her transformation and turning her back into a man. She kills herself by jumping off a cliff later.
>>744665086FFG is a chaste virgin. She satiates herself by debate and emotions and only agrees to kiss TNO because he's immortal. Arue is a cartoonishly evil sex manic who gets a slap on the wristband decides she's better off being an kawaii anime girl instead.
>>744665763All you know from Grace is that she wasn't raped by her baatezu slavers, at no point is she ever stated to be a virgin, she also never killed an innocent so she has nothing to redeem herself for. You, like most of the so called PSTfags that cry about Arueshalae, didn't play the game, you just pretend you did because it's the epic boomer CRPG and you think it gives you street cred to pretend you did
>>744664868Blondes are so much better.
>>744665270He does sas they’re distant cousinsIf galfrey was just some hot older woman entirely unrelated to him he’d be just as horny
>>744666008Annah is also a virgin btw
>>744666226>alsoNice sneak, but yes, Annah is a virgin and kissless too, irrelevant to what we're talking about though
>>744665681That sounds wayyyy too based for owlcat to actually implement, considering they are a bunch of faggots
>>744667319i am convinced that somewhere deep in owlcat is a handful of ultra-chuds holding the line and sneaking shit like this in their games when the supervisors arent looking
>>744667319He's lying, Aeon doesn't do anything to Anevia, she does die in the Aeon ending but the game still uses female pronouns, and the death has nothing to do with the Aeon itself, just a side-effect of closing the Worldwound
My favorite dream game is>JRPG character and artstyle>CRPG story branching and gameplay
>>744668146Play in Baldurs Gate 2 with dungeon meshi portrait pack.
>>744664774Quite honestly this is excusable in Arue's case. She tells a lot about what being a demon is, basically zero self awareness and being a slave to their instincts, and she seemingly spent more time just outright ruining and mangling people before Desna gave her self awareness.
>>744667403Then contrary to what others are saying, sounds like you get to kill her to meSo I'm happy, who cares
>>744669634You don't kill her, she just dies on her own while your character is busy not existing
>>744667319>>744667396Anevia dies as a man because in a world without the worldwound they'd have never met Irabeth and thus drank the gender bender potion. This was alluded to in an earlier conversation when Anevia admits that without meeting Irabeth they'd have died in a ditch somewhere a long time ago.
>>744669937>as a manthe ending still uses female pronouns
>>744669986because its the same character, they don't physically transition without Irabeth selling her family sword for a gender bender potion.
>>744669986That's obviously for convenience and storytelling, but it's the same NPC you've known all along.Do you really expect Owlcat to edit a portrait for one ending slide? That's what mods are for.
Why did they have to make arue some weird crippled ranger subclass?I get that a high charisma sorc or bard would be a bit strong maybe but surely there were other options
>>744670732She's a ranger in the AP and it ties into her being a spy for the Crusaders.
>>744620270Overhyped, dated, wall of text, ass
>>744670732Her subclass is actually decently strong as a targeting system, giving her a fairly unique niche within the party. But i just reclass her to a bard because thematically she is absolutely one.
>>744670859>actually decently strong as a targeting systemor you could just grab a demonslayer and get the exact same thing without needing to rely on instant enemy so much
Bwos drimos death curse bugged out swarm clone number 3 so I think I have to redo arena.
>>744620270Slop
>>744670814No she isn't, she's a succubus master spy with 3 ranks on trickster
>>744620270>play as fem KC>romance daeranIt felt so gay experiencing hetero romance from females perspective
>>744669414Noooooooo a sucubus not being a virgin is woke propaganda made by jews!
How cool for a lack of a better term is legend? Angel and Gold Dragon both had some very hype moments.
>>744672254Kino
Seelah is bro tier
>>744672334Neat.I always forget how weird Regill looks…
>>744672424She's just kinda boring and with suboptimal feats. I would rather have Regill in my party.
>>744672529She’s a paladin with high charisma and probably a mountShe mogs the gnome hard
>>744672529>level 1 character>suboptimal feats
>>744672609You can give Regill a raptor and you literally can't get more based than this.
>>744672680Yes, she already has 2 shitty feats.
>>744620270woke slop
Has anyone actually made a gnome or halfling knight commander? The mental image alone is absurd
>>744620376Really this. So many fucking buffs and I LIKE BUFFS.You know it's bad when there's a mod specifically for setting partywide buffs to a button.Besides that I really prefer the 5/6 niggas in a group as opposed to BG3's 4. Also the camp dialogues are actually more fleshed out in WotR. I loved stopping and watching the party banter.Regill best asshole.
>>744672847Why not? Give him an animal companion. Nobody is going to mess with someone riding a hyppogriff even if he's a gnome.
>>744672960The amount of party banter on rest is genuinely impressive, i have like 500 hours in the game but i don't think i have heard everything.
>>744672960>You know it's bad when there's a mod specifically for setting partywide buffs to a button.Many games have mods made for and by retards too inept to play the game, doesn’t mean thery're in any way necessary.
>>744672424lol no, she's Shaniqua tierLooks like a female black version of Erling Haaland
>>744673203...But we like Erling Haaland.
>>744657171constant is the key word. you will need minimal buffs for the harder trash encounters on core. also, it's much more forgiving than kingmakers equivalent. if you genuinely complain about wotr on core you probably just suck.
>>744672334It's time to play kino again
I want to make a CC mage: no damage at all, just illusions and mindfucking people overcan someone give me a rough draft of a build?
>>744669414Arue basically virginifies herself because her whole thing is rebirth. Her align changes to chaotic good and she grows her hymen back.Almost the samething with Wenduag since she has loving sex with you for the first time her in life. Not the same as raping Lann or being raped by Hosilla.
>>744620270
>>744673860You already have two of those, camelia and ember. Just play a witch or shaman.
>>744673860Just do the same thing every caster does, pick spell penetration, spell focus, etc. The mythic equivalents, and that one mythic abilitiy that makes illusions stronger, find all the gear that increase the DC of illusions spells and equip it
>>744674265She realistically can't do that because of her wings so they just got rid of them for that animation
>>744673860Don't because as soon as you get Weird the game is broken. It's too tempting not to use it and it just wipes every single encounter in on the first turn. In fact, kill Nenio immediately so she doesn't get it either.
>>744674554Dream world, nigga. Ain't gotta explain shit.
Does galfrey get any cute scenes in the masks dlc
>>744664316She actually offers to fuck you in one of her experiments in act 4. You pull down your pants and she starts to draw your penis in her encyclopedia and then forgets about actually having the sex right after. Not joking this actually happens.
>>744673860Magic Deceiver. There's no other CC caster as strong as him. Any archetype is good, living deity is the best but chronomancer is also awesome because you straight up double your resources per rest.Since Deceiver has no metamagic, you don't need metamagic feats. Since Deceiver has no need for spell penetration (early on you fuse spells with no spell resistance check, later you add religion bonus to spell penetration and it's a massive MASSIVE boost), either, you have a huge freedom with your feats. I would take the ambushing spells one (forgot the exact name, -2dc on flat footed enemies) and max out several caster schools - enchantment and transmutation in particular.Why Deceiver exactly? Well, you can fuse spells and execute both effects at once. And as long as the "carrier" (first spell) hits the enemy, the enemy gets subjected to a second effect too, even if theoretically they shouldn't work on them. This means slow + hold person turns into mass hold monster - a level 9 spell at third level. Remember gargoyles? Use a no-spell resistance carrier with blind as payload and cuck their sky high AC. Undeads are annoying? Turn them into dogs since it also dumps their charisma they use for their health. Some enemy is swimming in buffs? Combine dispel and arcana theft, and now you have all these buffs instead. It can make himself pseudo-Weird and custom tailor it for the weakest enemy saves. On first level you can do aoe stun with no spell resistance. You wiil never want to play another caster.Oh, and they sacrifice nothing in terms of damage either because they can fuse chain lighting with disintegrate or any other effect. Since they are level 6 casters technically, you just need two abundant spell mythic feats. They are great elemental barrage users too because they can fuse two elemental spell types, this includes sonic damage which is barely resisted by anything.
>>744674265
I just started a playthrough. I want to go Devil path. What am I in for?
Has anyone tried the Wokeless Wrath mod? I don't enjoy the idea of executing .bat files to install it
>>744678193Unfinished content that would have been better off being cut entirely
>>744678193Disappointment.Does too little, takes too long to get to and the way you achieve it is narratively stupid.
>>744678193Uh..pretty sure that's not a good thing for a first playthrough. I think it has less content than others and it requires taking other mythic paths first and then doing very specific things, very carefully.
>>744676785You gon' get raped
>>744678193trooning out
>>744674554yes she can. just wrap the wings around her or lay on her wings' elbows come on it's 4 armed people logistics. I hate when wings are only props and not actual limbs.
>>744678396It works just fine, as long as you're not on windows 11
>>744678193playing as another mythic path for 90% of the game and when you finally get to be a devil you barely have any content
>>744664868>>744664931>>744665001>>744665086>>744665763I finally finished this last month and was hugely disappointed at how little content this succ got. She was barely a party character at all, more like an NPC that you could get to tag along with you.
>>744680863There's a reason why 90% of the fanart is of Annah, you spend a good chunk of the game with her, Morte and Dak'kon, the rest of the party feels like an afterthought
>>744680863The concept of a virgin succubus who forgoes physical pleasures for cerebral ones is an amazing concept and fit the world of Torment like a glove, but FFG has very little depth beyond that.I forgive it though because for 1999 she was massively ahead of her time.
>>744681089>virgin succubusPost proof that Grace is a virgin, I'm still waiting
>>744675636taking notes thanks anon
>>744674981Oh thank god
>>744674878she acts more like a mature women now.
Arue won. Bigly
>>744674878Yes, her date in Kenabres makes her actually cute, plus she has a new scene before Midnight Fane if you trigger enough of her flags that attempts to humanise and justify her reasoning for sending you to ChaosHell. Both make her a much more sympathetic character compared to vanilla.
>>744681965NeatAlready liked her in my first playthrough so now it'll be even better
>>744678396This is still one of the most pathetic snowflake mods around, I laugh every time I see it.How genuinely fragile and insecure do you need to be that you need to mod out all the darkies and faggots from your fantasy vidya lol
>>744681789Ironic when half her lines are about her blushing like a schoolgirl and telling you how much you make her feel like a little girl.>>744682047I found her a lot easier to romance after I edited her portrait.
>>744681089>Falls>a succubus>virginis this the planscape torment "morrigan is a virgin" cope? because you guys have Annah
>>744681935
>>744682404nobody seems to give a shit if she is a virgin or not besides you faget, replace "virgin" with "abstinent" in all my posts if it helps you sleep better, I really won't mind.
>>744682658>nobody seems to give a shit if she is a virgin or not besides you fagetYou're speaking with two people, and you're the one who keeps mentioning it nonstop so you clearly care. Why I don't know, because Grace is celibate and will never have sex with TNO
>>744682428men only want one thing.....and its beautiful
>>744681965>plus she has a new scene before Midnight Fane if you trigger enough of her flags that attempts to humanise and justify her reasoning for sending you to ChaosHellnigga that just makes her worse because she loves you and still goes through with it
Is the ascension ending the most autistic secret ending ever?
>>744682345Galfrey is probably my favorite owlcat portrait and just generally really cuteDon’t really see why you’d change it desuI would definitely agree though that she doesn’t feel particularly mature
>>744683352Kingmaker's secret ending was imo more esoteric. Needing almost all the curse research, much of which is missable, and the Nerissa romance is pretty unintuitive.
>>744682658Different anon retard. but the point still stands. nowhere is it stated to be a virgin. you niggers are the reason why some idiots think old crpgs didn't have sluts and only pure maidens just like my japanese anime
Is twohanded fighter the best option for just swinging around a big sword?
>>744682143>
>>744682143If you can make mods that make all the characters black, then the opposite can also happen
>>744683837yes. but there is titan fighter now if you want to dual wield two handed weapons no power attack
>>744683837The obvious thing is rarely the best option. Just an okay one.
>>744683837Only in pathfinder can they make base fighter better at two handed than the subclass specializing in twohanded
>>744684062how is it better?
Does it make sense for any of the mythic protagonists to be atheists?
>>744684137Atheism is retarded in general when the gods provably exist.
>>744684249Atheism in pathfinder means "i don't serve any gods, i know they are real".
>>744684024Damn, totally forgot about titan fighter. Gonna have to do that instead no matter how good or bad the archetype is, dual wielding twohanded weapons is just too good.
>>744682989
>>744684249Gods are just high lvl beings tho.
>>744683927>>744683852I'm happy it exists, I'm just laughing at the type of people that need it to play a fantasy game about wizards and demons. Do you need mods for Dynaheir and Ekundayo as well, or are they "based niggers?"

>>744684659Gods don't have levels

>Playing through first playthru on Core as a demonslayer rangerSo far the only fight that i felt was kinda bullshit was the gargoyle fight in the caves when recruiting Regill. I was told Leper's Smile sucked shit but it wasn't that bad actually.
>>744684858If you have Ulbrig and his talisman, Leper's is a cakewalk.

>>744685362>3pp slop
>>744684137Yes why wouldn't it?
>>744620270lesbian orcs and trans militia officers right out of the gate in the tutorial. romance options that have body counts in the triple digits or higher (not exaggerating). a tedious and laborious buffing system that requires mods to fix or playing one of exactly two mythic class combos. good music, terrible writing. only worth playing if you're a crpg grognard.>t. crpg grognard with like 100 hours in it; one and a half playthroughs
>>744621910>the story starts quickly with high stakes that feel unearnedIt's a high level campaign about fighting demon lords. Your character isn't normal and your companions aren't normal and your enemies aren't normal so why would the stakes be normal?>The gameplay is very shallow and superficialNot really, no. Mage gameplay is 10/10 of you actually engage with the gameplay mechanics>you can't interact with anything around you, everything is a setdressing, >I tried to mess around and climb on a roof and i couldn't even do that, can't even walk below it as when you click the character stops at invisible walls.It's an isometric CRPG like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Night, Planetscape Torment, and Fallout. Literally what the fuck were you expecting? You're asking for something that's not present in the genre.>the music is forgettablehttps://youtu.be/uITaghKWMMMhttps://youtu.be/dIG8YPj1-i0https://youtu.be/On2w9VTPbB4https://youtu.be/eljvKzODgkk

>>744686494I was in my 4th playthrough before I even knew Anevia was a tranny, why were you so interested in xer medical history, Anon?Also boasting about 100 hours, very cute.

>>744687007>if you're arachnophobic you're secretly want to have sex with spiderswhat are you - 12? you have to be 18 to post here, or at least someone that reads dialogue in text-heavy rpgs. the two characters tell you about their pasts and relationship circumstances the second you're out of the tutorial and speak to them in the keep. sorry that you skipped the dialogue and didn't actually play the game the first 3 times you completed it, i guess?>Also boasting about 100 hoursthere's the problem, you unironically lack reading comprehension skills. which part of my paragraph denigrating every part of the game but the music suggested to you that i found the game super enjoyable or spent a lot of time with it relative to other crpgs (or other games in general, for that matter)? i added that context to make it clear that i played the game to completion before properly forming my negative opinion of it. maybe playing the game four times and missing introductory dialogue for three of them is the cute boast you need to concern yourself with.
Someone made AI voicover for dialogue, thoughts?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfNqs9FR6Q0

dip monk
>>744688091sounds kinda crappy but really hopeful that the tech develops more quickly so that high-quality versions of this indistinguishable from human VAs becomes a regular thing. very interested in stuff like this making it possible to have convincing chats with generic no-name npc's some day soon. or more in-depth/free form conversations with named ones.
>>744687882>the two characters tell you about their pasts and relationship circumstances the second you're out of the tutorial and speak to them in the keepYou need to pass a 50+ passive persuasion check during a conversation with Anevia in Act 5 to find out about the magic tranny potion you disingenuous faggot, stop lying.The vast majority of people will never get that information, most heard about it second hand from the tabletop AP.
>>744688225>Your opinions aren't facts, and you provided no actual argument for anything.go ahead and link my post where i claimed anything to the contrary or requested a response or debate, you buttblasted little bitch.

>>744688685Can you not suspend your disbelief in a fantasy video game that there would be homosexuals and blacks in prominent military positions? Honest question.
any of the dlcs worth it?
>>744688948Only the last sarkorians and a dance of masks, maybe lord of nothing if you're really interested in one of the new archetypes
>>744688943>Can you not suspend your disbeliefEvidently not. What a retarded question. When there are elements that blatantly break suspension of disbelief, it becomes impossible to suspend your disbelief.
>>744688948Last Sarkorians is akin to a RT DLC; a new companion, new class options, and 10+ hours of new shit integrated into the main campaignDance of Masks has a bunch of new class options and a whole big side quest in Act 4 where you can get some insanely powerful gear and date you are waifu.Midnight Isles is worth it for OP gear.The rest, not really.>>744689087You know there are gays and nigs in top positions of power in the modern military RIGHT NOW IRL? Why would a magical god-blessed paladin in the anti-demon wars not be a worthy force commander?
>>744663610>the game absolutely is a 'chosen one' gimmickNot at all>world-ending stakesNigger what? Did you even play the game? The worst case scenario if you fail utterly would be that you basically just degenerate into a retarded animal dying over and over again while the TTO just sits in his fortress doing nothing and everything else continues as it always has.
>>744654885>Name one example of bad writingEverything by Owlcat
>>744689672Too vague to be an answer, you gotta be more specific with your citations.
Is there anything fun i can do with oracle angel's low level slots once i have both storm spells? They are a complete dead weight at this point, not even buffs are necessary because his high level stuff integrates all of them.
>>744690030No not really.It's a nuisance on my witch lich actually, rank 1 is all just mage armor and unbreakable heart.
>>744688943
>>744690480Literal 2 digit IQ.
>>744689909>Too vague to be an answerNormally I would agree, but in this instance - not really, no. The absolute dogshit quality writing is so all-pervasive that you've basically asked for an example of a part of the ocean that contains water. Pick any part you want, it's all wet.Nearly single bit of dialogue is completely cringeworthy, from characters being totally illogical flanderizations, to narrative choices that make absolutely zero sense, to wordsmithing that vacillates between "reddit fanfiction" and "tumblr fanfiction", it's literally all bad and every single part of it is bad.You do have to let Owlcat off the hook a little bit because the general overarching narrative was taken from the Adventure Module created by Paizo, and Paizos writers are unironic tumblr feminist women. However, this does not excuse the extremely poor quality of the moment to moment writing which comprises the rest of this literarily disastrous shitheap.
>>744690762>bro trust me bro there should definitely be faggots and niggers everywhere bro
>>744691391Don't shoot up a school
>>744690480>>744691391What exactly is unbelievable about a homosexual commander in Golarion? Or a black paladin?
>>744689179>and 10+ hoursIt's not even close to being that long
>>744691573>>744691391>>744690480That's what I thought. Stay mad about things you don't even understand.
>>744691573Ah yes, the famously realistic black female Paladin, just like in real life where medieval societies were full of more diversity than London Heathrow and women led armies and fought on the front lines as melee combatants.
>>7446202704000 different ways of building your character. 3970 of them being either broken or retarded.
>>744620270I had a lot of fun with this game and played hundreds of hours.And I never finished it.
>>744693065The current ruler of Mendev is a 100+ year old woman who drinks magic potions to maintain her youth so she can command her blessed forces against the demonic rift that opened up and disgorged malevolent evil entities into the material plane north of her country's borders.This isn't "real life," and you aren't playing GURPS to retell in excruciating authentic detail the battle of Agincourt,, this is Wrath of the Righteous. Please try and focus and answer the simple question: What exactly is unbelievable about a black paladin in Golarion?
>>744693065>wotr>realisticyou cannot be this fuckign oblivious lol
are you forced to go back to your kingdom every month in this one ? I dropped kingmaker due to that, I want an adventure
>>744693065Ah yes, the famously realistic world of Pathfinder, a stunning replica of medieval times with demonic invasions, magic, and literal gods appearing before mortals. Just like real life!
>>744693796>>744693726>ummm ackshually its not real life chud, here's why your medieval european inspired fantasy needs be full of blacks, trannies, homosexuals, and feministsdown the hall and to the left faggot
>>744693985>ummm ackshually its not real lifeWell done, we're making some progress. Now continue with that thought.
>>744693985Yeah, it's not real life which is why the game can have those. Besides pathfinder is more like a grab bag of stuff the creators thought was cool. There's gunslingers, pirates, and androids. Which is something you can do when you don't have to model rea life.
>>744694294Suspension of disbelief is predicated on the things that do map to reality being accurate.If you're going to have dragons, you better get the horse right.
>>744693803No, you manage a crusade instead
>>744694386Black people are real, you understand this right?And you know that Golarion, the fictional magical realm where Pathfinder APs take place in, is full of gods and magic, airships and teleportation spells, and almost every fantasy trope you can imagine right?You see Qadira on the map, right next to Osirion and Katapesh? Those lands are respectively Arabian, Ancient Egyptian, and the Middle East, all full of browns and blacks. You see the Shining Kingdoms just north of them, on the same land mass? That's your "medieval european inspired fantasy," King Arthur and the like. Now knowing this, please explain what exactly is unbelievable about a black paladin in Golarion?
>>744695281>And you know that Golarion, the fictional magical realm where Pathfinder APs take place in, is full of gods and magic, airships and teleportation spells, and almost every fantasy trope you can imagine right?Talk about missing the point of what you're replying to. Christ.
>>744696023Still can't answer the question, huh?
>>744620376Only if your builds are weak though. >>744620270Plot is fucking awesome until you retake Drezen. Every antagonist after Minagho feels like fodder and basically an excuse to keep developing the mythic path.
>>744695281>Black people are real, you understand this right?
What is it about owlcat threads that attracts these types anyway?
>>744696167According to your own map, they've got the ethnic makeups placed wrong.They've just taken tropes and placed them with no care for how they would blend and transition from one to the next, in regards to both their neighbours and their geography/climate.And then you have to think about what population sizes those regions could reasonably sustain. Ease of travel (spoiler, it's not easy just looking at natural boundaries and barriers.)And then the fact that cities even on Golarion, are not actually all that large in terms of population.So yeah, far fewer than you seem to think and they would mostly be a novelty outside of coastal regions. And that's novelty as in unusual, not a joke like you undoubtedly read it as.
>>744670859First playthrough I got her 10 levels of tranquil whisperer bard and 10 levels of her ranger class. With mythic performance the ac bonus becomes quite nice and enduring spells gave her a very nice collection of buffs for the party.
>>744698160You can't call it wrong when it's a map of the setting we're discussing. The 3000 BC Egyptian Empire is just an airship ride over a small sea away from the 600 AD King Arthur land of knights and chivalry, this is an objective fact in regards to Golarion. If this is too much for you then just admit that Pathfinder is not the setting for you and move on, rather than trying to argue that someone with brown skin couldn't possibly wield the holy power of the gods in the fight against demonic monsters from the plane of superhell.
>>744670732Aru is pretty strong though and her stats are absolutely busted. She's one of the few chars I just level straight through her base class as.
>>744698160>ease of travelThere are multiple types of teleportation and fantastical vehicles like airships. Even something like a large boat can be easily commanded by casting a spell like skeleton crew.
>>744698160>Golarion is a kitchen sink clusterfuck of literally everything Yes, everyone knows this and has known it for decades, why do people struggle so hard accepting this?>>744698698Even on Core you can just whack some bard levels on her and let her shred from the backline.
>>744698160just kick the nigger out of your party simple as
>>744698817>Even on Core you can just whack some bard levels on her and let her shred from the backline.Or I can just keep her as a ranger and have her as a pretty disgusting ranged blender. Rangers in wotr are pretty strong even if you don't go Demonslayer or SCM
>>744698698Her str is too low, her class is one of the worst ranger ones and she's forced to be an archer which are not very good
>>744698884Sure, but someone needs to be the Good Hope/IC bitch, and it might as well be the succ with the ranger levels.
>>744699167ngl family, I consider difficulties above core to be meme difficulties so maybe she falls off or something on unfair but that shit just isn't fun to play for me.So you could be right, and I could be wrong but on core she cruises through as straight ranger.>>744699290I don't disagree and say she could have been better as maybe a skald or bard, but like outside of Lann (Who is shit) and Wenduag (If you build her for throwing axes), the game had 0 ranged martials.
>>744697929Thread is from 1 day and is still getting bumped lol.
>>744698814You confuse possibility with ease. Not many, actually travel particularly far, even in Golarion.Think prevalence, expense, danger of the trip, piracy and a whole host of other risks.>>744698642Even within its own geography and internal logic it's wrong. That's the point.
>>744699478>Lann (Who is shit)Filtered
>>744697929Pathfinder was literally created by what you would call the "woke" crowd (I really do not like that word, but I don't really have a better way of easily encapsulates the kind of person that is basically a female California college campus progressive). As such, it appeals mostly to that same crowd so you get a lot of them that flock to these threads which is why they basically become /bluesky/.This isn't really Owlcat's fault - Paizo is the one who created the setting and they content, Owlcat just licenses it in order to make money selling a game. However they are the developer so that's what people look at - same reason people blame Larian for BG3 being "woke" even though basically all the progressive content in it has been in DnD for like 2 decades now.
>>744700393Wrong, it was created by 3e grognards who hated 4e enough to make their own version of 3e they could continue playing, the woke infiltration came later; before the faggotisation of WOTC, but still years after the early days of PF.No woke studio would allow the tongue-in-cheek god of pedos to make it to print, not even if presented as an extreme evil.https://aonprd.com/DeityDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Folca
>>744700393Nah, Paizo was worried about Owlcat at first given they are Russian but Owlcat reassured them about their values. Time has borne it out.
>>744700840source?
>>744673553>you will need minimal buffs for the harder trash encounters on core>Don't cast death ward 6 times everytime you rest? Enjoy level drain to the face>Don't cast remove disease 6 times everytime you rest? Enjoy getting stat drained by disease>Don't cast heroism 6 times everytime you rest? Enjoy not having +2 roll on everything where all the checks and stats are inflated to the high heavensBasically fuck non-communal 1 minute spells especially if the communal version duration is fixed at 1 minute e.g. protection from alignment. The tabletop doesn't have this buffing madness problem because the encounter balanced around 4 man party and therefore less chance of people having both divine buffer and arcane buffer turning the martials to superman. Hell, the combat maneuvers is basically there so you can have magic free party by letting the extra martials do the debuffing themselves.
>>744701881this could be easily fixed if they just added communal versions of buffing spells, even if they're high level ones, why they didn't do it is beyond mewell, they did, but angel only of course
