That specific bit of art is from Return of the Runelords, Book 3: Runeplague, page 41.

Also, any kinda sources/numbers that support Crimson throne is the most requested to be adapted? Or that RT actually flopped?

Mostly Urban adventure in a city where shit steadily escalates. Good progression, there are plot hooks and signs of shit behind the scenes, there are some interesting npcs/allies and each act has plenty of events relevant to what is happening (rather than randomly exploring a tomb hoping you find something, a long ass boring trek etc).
And fewer retarded characters overall.
Generally, one of the few APs people consider good for what it actually is rather than the idea/concept (kingmaker sandbox, wrath mythic)

Unless you have the option to completely side with the evil women and and then getting to fuck them this is going to be a massive flop.

They won't be, Pathfinder just like D&D just have "cartoony" evilness, not real evilness. And even if they were you think my 7 feet tall paladin is a match for some 4 feet tall feather weight women? That's fucking retarded and stupid. Women are evil in different ways than men, not being murderhobos who fight in the front lines.

This is why this is a fantasy anon.
There is magic, there are trolls and elves and women can be frontline fighter or smart and capable

Did you? Or you're just too dumb to realize what I'm saying was already present on their previous games?
>>3546711
>This is why this is a fantasy anon.
That's very cool! Let's remember what fantasy heroes are known for: Killing dragons, killing demons, killing trolls, killing monsters... Oh look, none of these imply going around killing women because that's fucking stupid. In fact fantasy heroes are known for rescuing women. But let me guess: this won't be on the game because is not subversive enough.
>>
Firstly I have to express skepticism that this is a confirmation. Hasn't Owlcat tweeted about random Pathfinder tidbits before?

If they're making Curse of the Crimson Throne though, I fucking called it. Owlcat is at their strongest when doing focused urban areas and city locations (see Act 4 in WOTR and Act 3 in Rogue Trader being the best parts of those games). Their writing actually approaches decent quality there, less loading screens, just better gameplay overall.
>>
>>3546727
Final boss is a black dragon, avatar of an evil god who corrupted the queen. Does that count or does it trigger your autism in a different way?
>>
I have one question and one question only: Are they going to include the canon, actually-in-the-AP forced feminization/bodyswap trap that was in Sorshens sex dungeon?
>>
>>3546733
actually wait, was that in this AP, or the runelord one?

>>
>>3546731
>Final boss is a black dragon
The actual enemy during 99% of the Adventure Path is the Queen, though. The thing you're talking about only happens at the last minute and completely irrelevant to the rest of the story. The AP actually expects you to kill the Queen and see her like the big bad.

The whole AP is dogshit.

>>3546730

They likely scored the contract recently or weighed the options until the very end.
Owlcucks are a despicable bunch.

Mythic was neat, despite bad execution.
Wanking is a must in their bug ridden games, I'm afraid.
At least the ap isn't the worst, unlike the previous two.

>>
>>3547849
>that just means they're focusing on rogue trader right now
No, they have multiple teams, they can make another game, Pathfinder or not, while also working on RT's DLC. Hell, that's exactly what they did with WotR's DLC and RT itself

>>3546620
I think it would be more because you're supposed to roll for race/career in order to get the experience bonus.

If OWlcat is gonna keep making PF1e games than I think they should adapt Carrion crown. it's basically a adventure about vampires, werewolfs, frankstein monsters and headless horsemen and other spooky undead like skeletons and lich
>>
>>3546289

I hope it´s true. I´ve liked both Kingmaker and WoTR (actually doing a WoTR run right now) so i´ve no problems with Owlcat except maybe for those regarding game breaking bugs on release. I seem to recall an unavoidable specter at a certain lich castle and a door that just would not open.

Other than that i really enjoy the mechanics of combat as well as those related to archetypes and character building.

Wrath is very easy if you spec into illusion magic, almost all demons are vulnerable to Phantasmal Killer. You just stack ways to make he DC higher and heighten it to your highest spell slot and it can carry you through the game.

First part (lv1~3) of the adventure path has you hunting down crime bosses in Korvosa for the Queen, so its mostly human thugs and a few of the crime boss's "pets" (Shark, Aligator, Giant Spiders, ect) one of the crime bosses is a necromancer to various skeletons, skeletal creatures, and zombies too.

Second part (lv3~6) after you've dealt with the Crime in Korvosa its hit with a massive plague and that plague brings undeath, ghouls, vampires, ect. So its mostly dealing with plague carrier rat/fly swarms, rioters, and the undead. Turns out the cult of Urgathoa is behind it so you fight a bunch of cultists and they summon various Undead creatures and few Daemons to fight with them.

Third part (lv6~9) has the main city of Korvosa under lockdown, the plague has mostly run its course the Queen sent out her personal army (secret police) to "keep the peace" by just killing anyone causing trouble or breaking lockdown, but undead, demons, ect are still getting into the city via the ruins of Old Korvosa (pic), you're sent to find the source and deal with it. Turns out its Red Mantis and Rakshasa, lots of Rakshasa, there are also rat swarms, various undead, Succubi, bunch of crazy people, ect along the way.

Fourth part (lv9~12) The heroes are sent out to find out why the Queen is acting increasingly and flagrantly evil. This quest takes them to the cinderlands, vast desert full of choking smog and random firestorms, fire elementals, cinderhounds, ect. Eventually you meet with the Shaonti (American Indians) the nomadic people who live in the surrounding planes, you have to do a bunch of trials for them to gain access to their tribe to speak with their chief and then send you around killing various things mostly with the "Large Magical Beast" description Basilisks, Hippogriffs, Chimeras, Rocs, Wyverns, ect, you gain access to the tribe, find out what you need to know, right as the Queen's goon squad shows up to wipe out the Indians.

Fifth part (lv12~15) The heroes learned from the Indian Chief that the Queen isn't actually the Queen anymore, she is possessed by an ancient Zon-Kuthon (god of sadism, torture, pain) worshiping Blue Dragon, his soul lived in the throne and he now inhabits the Queen. The heroes learned of the ancient magic sword used to kill the Dragon but it lies in a massive fortress which is now deep in the Orc held lands, the hold of Belkzen. The area is obviously full of orcs and you have to fight your way through them. When you reach the fortress its full of ghosts and other incorporeal undead and various monsters with the "Large Aberration" descriptor" (pic)

Sixth part (lv15~18) The Heroes now have the magic sword and head back to Korvosa, the Queen rules with absolute power, her personal army is now the general army, anyone who openly opposed her is dead so you have to fight your way through the city, raid Castle Korvosa, and kill the Queen. You're mostly fighting her army in this one, but also some Devils. Final battle is against the Queen and after she's dead the newly risen undead ancient blue dragon that possessed her for phase 2. Make sure someone can use Bastard Swords to kill the Dragon you need to land a hit with the magic sword.

Shit, I have level 20 protagonist but everyone else is level 18 with log way to go to 20.
>enervation doesn't work, doesn't drop their effective level

Are there any items or spells that increase caster level for "universalist" spells?
I also wasn't able to pick the Suramgamin spell for spell specialization, similarly.

Can't you just cast overwelming presence and stun them permenantly
>>
>>3551575
if they are still on the map "alive" the quest won't progress
>>
>>3551573
If you had call of the wilds installed you could pick the varisian tattoo to increase it by 2. pretty sure there are some staff that raises caster lvl if no than you are shit out of luck

Turns out you can, but the merc won't get the spell.
(maybe if they were in party before they would?)

Wrong brap cloud. The primary CC was stinking cloud

Only with poison protect all
>>
>>3552018
Well yeah. Even without using the spell and without knowing what the enemies do, I had Delay Poison Communal up on Wrath 24/7
>>
>>3552021
I'd like a new pathfinder, but I'm 100% confident it will be worse than wrath.
Wotr is still a bug fest after like 3 years after release.
>>
>>3552026
Not really. Most of breakages in the last year are due to new additions. The core stuff is fine. (Note: I mainly played it last year, have paused it afterwards, not enough time)
>>
>>3552068
Blood kineticist still doesn't work, many other archetypes don't work as well.
Which is baffling and can only be explained by spaghetti code.
Likely they brute forced it, instead to actually plan things ahead. Bg3 has similiar problems, despite being overall the better produced media.
>>
>>3552077
>not playing pure classes
deserved
>>
>>3552082
I played with custom team and didn't touch that class. I was on their forums during release and it was the number one topic.
Coolest class ever is primalist. Unfortunately hard to multiclass.
>>
>>3552077
Blood Kineticst was fine after Lord of Nothing.
They broke it again
>>
>>3552184
Kek at spaghetti code made by interns
>how hard can it actually be?
>>
>>3552087
Primalist is broken because you can just get a second bloodline and get all the rage powers you want by just sacrificing useless resistance. I created a Angel primalist and he was clearing the entire map with 40 AC and 60 damage per swing with a greatsword. shit was wack
>>
>>3552280
I had a dual wield two sickle on hard (ye, 1d4 + x) and he was pretty much soloing everything. The others in team just witnessed his blood rage.
Aeon iirc. The pre buff aeon.
Primalist is clearly broken.
Barbarian? Yup. Mage? Kinda. Downside? None.
>>
>>3552293
sickle with lead blade scroll and enlarge would have the same dice as a enlarged falchion. so that's not bad
>>
>>3552298
Yeah, I used that.
I still felt like I'm cheating.
>>
>>3546731
>Final boss is a black dragon, avatar of an evil god who corrupted the queen
Can we fuck her?
>>
>>3552302
It's not cheating if you use the ingame mechanics to win. interestingly it is stated that any ranged or thrown weapon after enlarging would change back into the original size after you shoot it. Guess Owlcat forget about that because i really like Arue shooting x10 4d6 arrows in one round
>>
>>3552339
>Guess Owlcat forget about that
They have a million bugs.
Ridiculous, really. Those rules are mostly one liners in code, they still fucked up big league.
40d6, kek.
Ranged is op, shame there aren't many returning weapon options.
>>

Instinctual warrior is still better

Except it didn't?
It sold extremly well and even owlcat was pleased by it
Is this legit "fantasy is better"/pathfinder-cope?
>>
>>3552656
Failed to be a good game
>>
>>3552776
Better than Pathfinder
>>
>>3546648
I (eventually) enjoyed Kingmaker and WotR, and I will play RT someday when it's finished, but Owlcat's knack for consistently putting out unfinished and bug-ridden games is likely unparalleled in the modern industry, possibly since Troika went out of business.
>>
>>3552776
i had more fun with it than kangmaker...that aside the dlc being delayed by 2 months is something alright..."up for our quality" can we even imagine how bad it was...?
>>
>>3552889
Incredibly low bar
>>3552900
I liked km as well, but it has no replayability, as it really falls apart after the barbarian tomb (latest).
The end dungeon of km is evidence of how stupid owlkeks are.
Both their pf games are rather tedious after the first playthrough.
Pf as system feels dated, the owlkek bugs are so numerous, it's actually funny.
>>3552923
>can we even imagine how bad it was...?
Kingmaker at release.
>>
>>3552935
>Kingmaker at release.
is that even humanily possible?
>>
>>3552940
Very likely not, but owlkeks can underachieve the impossible.
>>
>>3552940
It will release with the exe, at least
>>
>>3552339
>Guess Owlcat forget about that because i really like Arue shooting x10 4d6 arrows in one round
You can only shoot 3d6 arrows and with manyshot and rapid shot Arue can only shoot like 7 arrows. Lann is the one who can shoot 10 6d6 arrows
>>
>>3553113
I still don't get it.
Why is it so complicated to release one adventure path a year?
It's just story + modeling. No need to add anything extra.
Strange, really.
>>
>>3553244
Unless it's completely linear and 95% reused character and building models + OST , that is not enough time.
I will even say 'no VAs at all'
>>
>>3553250
Like km and wotr aren't linear.
>one years time is barely enough to create 5% new assets, while wotr was released within two years dev time
Kys
>fuck va
Fuck va
>ost
They can go with remixes from km and wotr.
I'm convinced that it would them more money in less time.
Larian learned their lesson and announced two games
>little does larian know that they suck at management and will fail miserably with this task.
>>
>>3553311
>Like km and wotr aren't linear.
You do not understand what linear means.
It would be like a 50% reduction of text alone for kingmaker.
Now imagine wrath being just Angel.
>>one years time is barely enough to create 5% new assets
No, the point is that with 1 year, they would barely create new assets,. Which does not work if you want to do varied APs
>>
>>3553315
>It would be like a 50% reduction of text alone for kingmaker.
Good.
These illusion of choice answers are boring anyway.
Remember when swen told us the game will take a "total different direction" depending on class and race? A gith druid will have a different ending than a gith barbarian. 17000 endings bullshit.
Instead of wasting massive resources for pseudo choices, they should focus on quality (for once).
>ap
I should've clarified that I meant custom aps.
The original aps aren't really good source material for a video game to begin with.
Why study the ap and rewrite half of it? Easier to do it completely from scratch.

You are right than translating an ap within one year is basically impossible (for owlcat).
>>
>cont
I'd rather have 2 or 3 great mythic paths than 8 in total and 5 basically being hollow additions anyway.
>>
>>3553341
3 great mythic path are a far cry from lienar though
>>
>>3553345
I disagree. They can be linear.
Surely, if you take all three in consideration, we are talking multi linear.
I'd take a proper made km without mythics anytime though.
>>
>>3553341
The mythic paths ended up blue balling me hard. Very frustrating
>>
>>3551194
Rats and Goblins are fantasy kino, and by the end you're fighting demons and dragons, you need that sense of progression for it to really feel like a real adventure. When you start the game by killing demons and you end the game killing more slightly bigger demons its just fucking boring.
>>
>>3553707
Wasted opportunity.
Cool concepts among mythics.
>>3553718
Never saw it like that, it's true though.
Mono demon was a stupid design choice.
>>3553340
That's what I meant when I wrote that paper aps aren't good source material for computer games.

>>
>>3554258
They have to find a way to fix the constant buffing, it really drags the gameplay down
>>
>>3555477
Wouldn't be a thing if they wouldn't have bloated enemy stats and immunities.
>>
>>3555480
They only do that on the higher difficulties so it's up to you, but those shouldnt be a drag either.
>>
>>3555488
>They only do that on the higher difficulties
That's not true, all the stats are bloated from tabletop, even on normal.
>>
>>3555492
Probably because it's a 6 man group fool
>>
>>3555492
This.
Normal is a cakewalk for quite a few builds, even most leisure players shouldn't have a problem at all. Starting hard almost all builds are useless.
>>
>>3555494
No, it's because they can't into AI.
>>
>>3555492
>>3555496
Long before we even touch A.I, we are in a combat focused game with zero verticality (so special abilities that would require different approaches like simply a flying demon are out, different terrain is out, and no shit like light, ou cannot initiate dialogue at will and use skills, no taunting of any kind etc).
And whatever game you bring up with good A.I, it does not match a DM.
Using tabletop stats would simply not cut it.
>>
>>3555504
Indeed, bloated tabletop systems are horrible things to use for cRPGs.
>>
>>3555517
This was like the least relevant takeaway from my post, but whatever.
>>
>>3555521
I find it incredibly pertinent, a system built on freeform unconstrained combat with myriad options is poorly placed within the limits of a video game.
>>
>>3555527
It's not like you cannot transfer MORE elements into the videogame (see Solasta). Same for more utility spells and non combat situations.
And the problem is not that enemies have arbitrarily higher stats than the tabletop or not. It's about design encounter and how challenges scale.
And both owlcat pathfidner games have example of good, mid and atrocious encounter design.
>>
>>3555529
Good encounters in km?
Come to think of it, which ones on wotr are fine?
>>
>>3555529
>good, mid and atrocious
I can't take you serious with these adjectives and no Oxford comma. Disgusting.
>>
>>3546343
>i haven't even looked at rogue trader.
nta but I regret my decisions. I knew it was goiong to be a bit rough but I didn't realize it was going to be as blatantly unfinished as it was.
>>
>>3557677
i picked it up last week and had a blast
idk in what state it was on a release but now i hardly encountered any bugs aside from minor shit like accsional tposing when new actors come in the location or dialog 1 time showed me portrait of yirlet despite that she wasnt talking

fuck 2e, if they move to that boring "all classes are same" edition I won't buy.

Case in point, Tolkien is loved so much in America that social engineers who work for multinational companies and are funded by foreign powers use it as a vehicle for their garbage and that love was strong enough to cause their butchery to flop.
>>
>>3562090
Howard influence was and still is stronger actually, in both Warhammer and DnD and their copies, in both tabletop and video games. All people take from Tolkien are some traits of his subverted versions of Elves and Dwarfs and that's it.
>>
>>3562112
Fritz Leiber and Michael Moorcock and Jack Vance as well. It's a collaborative effort between Britain and America.
>>
>>3562112

Yeah on worse pieces of the fantasy like DnD and Warhammer.

Do you think they'll actually finish the game within two years of the release this time? Do you think they'll finally write a good character? Do you think they'll manage to design even a single combat encounter that isn't a mindless stat-based tank and spank with zero tactics involved?

Hahahaha oh wow that's hard to even type with a straight face. Of course they won't. They'll just add even more blacks and trannies to keep you distracted from all of that.
>>
>>3546401
>dnd is for old straight white males
I wish I could live in the 80s like you're obviously doing right now.
>>
>>3555529
>>3555545
KM has zero good combat encounters, it ranges from boring to tedious.

WotR has a grand total of ONE good combat encounter that actually requires a tiny bit of tactical insight, and it's locked away in the Roguelite DLC. Everything else is the same mindless dogshit as Kingmaker.
