Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

[Thane Solus]

horrible Unity programmers (loading times for everything.....You want to take a shiet, here is a loading screen)

My favourite part is the game doesn't impose any kind of frame limit until the initial loading sequence is complete and you reach the main menu. My GPU has been kicking out 5000FPS during the splash & loading screen and putting out some nice audible coil whine for good measure. Seen it reported several times since Sept of last year, takes one line of code to remedy. Oh well, forced Vsync it is.

The game has big problems with that overall, at me, on my shitty main monitor, if i dont run in exclusive mode, vsync wont trigger and i will see bad refresh on screen while moving/scrolling.

What horrible times we live in, Russians were famous (most of the good ones) for optimized code, non sjw crap, and good art, now this game looks like it came from Sweden. Comrade Putin wtf is goin down there?!

yup, its not clicking for me. I like UI and parts of the character development, the graphics are ok, dont like much the maps and radomly fucking around; SJW writers (the translation for paladin skills are with HER skills, Her aura...), story is kinda meh, but not bad i guess, uninteresting characters (besides the banter between the rat and the elf undead/barbarian strong independent waymin). Combat is ok, at least we dont have something like endurance / health retardo POE system (i got used to it, but fuck me, whaay?), decent skills and progression, that kingdom management thing its nice.

Overall hampered by SJW writers, uninteresting maps/characters and horrible Unity programmers (loading times for everything.....You want to take a shiet, here is a loading screen). Might turn into something good, if they keep working at it, for now ill play BG EE and POE 1.

On another hand, beamdogz did actually something very cool with BGEE latest patches, lots of options to customize the gameplay, the game looks better, cool stuff, had lots of fun. Also POE is starting to click for me now that i got used to the systems.

Class and ability descriptions were more or less copy pasted from the rulebooks. And in rulebook, HER is used for everything.
You can blame these devs for lots of stuff but you cannot blame them for this.

Also if using Her in rulebook is a sign of SJW (these rulebooks were released a long time ago, long time before people even came up with SJW term), you got a serious mental problem. Paranoia I think it is called. Go get some help or pills.

A mod in the P:K steam forums said this about the adventure module:

As I said earlier - module is in work. We deeply apologize that it takes so much time to polish, test etc. Original module had around 600 pages, so, unfortunately, it is not easy and fast task. As soon as there will be more infod, we will update you on this.

It seems they paid MCA to write a module, and in true Avellonian fashion, he delivered his own adventure path.

If this is true, I hope they don't butcher it down to 96 pages or whatever. A gargantuan adventure module by MCA sounds amazing.

Is it the one with Maegar Varn in it? I quite liked his character and there was supposed to be a dlc expanding on his story.

I think the sprite outlines look good in the game, but I ultimately turned them off. But yeah, they make the characters pop more. Go ahead, rate this post shit, do it. Do it!

I got two questions about story. Note furthest I got is near end of Pitax chapter so maybe these are answered later and I just didn't get to it yet.
1. Do we find out who resurrected

Spoiler

Tartuchio as Tartuk

after you kill him chapter 1? By the conversation that the stranger gives it should not be

Spoiler

Irroveti or main villainess

but someone else.
2. Glenbon, leader is that stuck up lord that talks high to you at start. Later you can just annex it without dealing with him directly. What is up with that?

glenbon (noot sure about the name) is in irovettis dungeon. he tells you that he never arrived at his lands. later irovetti tested briar on him and fucked him up. im not sure what happens if irovetti has fake briar.
tartuccio is resurrected by big bad.

Yep. From what I recall the old beldame in the swamps kind of hints at who's responsible, though she talks about a different curse.

1. Do we find out who resurrected

I'm actually curious about that as well.

Spoiler

But I did kill him so maybe there's more to the story if you let him live. For some reason I kind of presumed it's Shyka, even if it doesn't really make any sense

Nope.

edit: I have to say that this particular endgame moment was well done, even though you have to slog through the spam gazers to get there.

It is (major spoiler here):

Spoiler

The lantern king. If you listen to his voice he has the same inflections as that ball of fire and his dialogue makes several references to jokes and theatrics, which is the whole theme of that character.

SJW writers (the translation for paladin skills are with HER skills, Her aura...)

This kind of annoyed me at first, but I got over it. I don't have a problem with some classes reading 'his' and others 'her'. I do think that they probably chose Paladin as one of the female classes in order to fuck with a certain kind of person, but there's also every chance that it was done at random. I think the main reason I found it initially jarring is that I immediately went to create a male Paladin.

 

[Efe]

maybe its because iconic paladin is female

 

[Funposter]

Didn't realise this. Druids, Clerics, Barbarians etc. all line up similarly. God damn, the art from the Pathfinder rulebook is ugly.

 

[ArchAngel]

Ok, then something more obscure. Frog icon you get from Old Sycamore dungeon, did anyone try to carry it on them through whole game? Any place to use it or is it just an item to sell?
Also the toy figurines you get from one of Stag Lord lieutenants, anyone found any use for them?

 

[Sharpedge]

I have not and I have carried them through the entire game twice. I am an obsessive hoarder.

for now ill play BG EE

Didn't find any use for either one. Ended up selling the toad since it's like 10 lb.

So I found a funny bug. If you use Channel Energy to heal your party when next to neutral creatures like Elk they turn hostile and attack your party :D

 

[Efe]

put the frog statue where you put the bird

Do you remember that old man you met in the beginning which when you were nice, said where is Tartuk and that Tartuk is preparing some nasty stuff? Was he called Remus?

It's easy to recognize him by his look.

 

[Raghar]

How does that work? Someone massacres frog statue?

 

[Sarkile]

Yeah, I found that one when I was fighting that Count Smoulderburn, and a bunch of elk rushed my casters from the rear.

Elk are traitors. They were jealous you didn't heal them.

Do you remember how Elk in GTA V called police when they seen you commit crimes?

That is not Remus that does the resurrection. Remus shows up later, he is leading that cult just before Season of the Bloom.

 

[Reinhardt]

At least during first meeting Remus is

Spoiler

Lantern King. He said so himself in final chapter iirc.

 

[ArchAngel]

Ok so I decided to multiclass Valerie right away into an Earth Bender Kinetic Knight. She gained some mad deeps with that move but lost defense, at least at these low levels. Too bad Earth KK weapon still needs to hit normal AC.
