KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Drudkh]

Yeah... I see Owlcat has addressed their insolence over at the steam forums regarding making the game difficult in settings above normal. Perhaps when this is all said and done the enemies will be over nerfed proving the entertainment of new complaint possibilities.

I'm personally gonna come back to this game in a week or 2 (of hopefully patches) after slogging through the absolutely unbelievable amount of bugs plaguing me at nearly every step. I still recommend the game, but it seems Owlcat has hired the estranged soulmate of Adam Brennecke from Obsidian as their programmer.

Is it possible to slow down the game during combat similar to PoE?

what bugs did you find?

Yes, press SHIFT and then SPACEBAR. Hold them and the game will run slower while both are held. You have to pause first though I think.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

seems a lot of quests are timed even if it explicitly doesn't say so

 

[tripedal]

How was this stuff not caught in the beta?

 

[you know what time it is]

Question regarding troll problem

Spoiler

If I go for a peaceful resolution, with Ekundayo staying in town, can I still keep him or he's gonna bail anyway?

 

[Jvegi]

Is it the best mainstream cRPG since DA:O?

 

[Fedora Master]

It's too hard to be comparable to nu-Bioware games.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Is the Valerie duel even winnable on non-easy difficulties?

 

[Jimmious]

Anyone read when are they planning to release 1.0.2 ?

 

[Raghar]

Hah, "buggy."

I lived through the era of Troika. You think you know bugs? I was smothered by the bugs, held down by the bugs, why the bugs even damn near tried to eat me alive. Then I embraced the bugs, I honed the bugs, I ate the bugs.

The era of bugs in PC Gaming was once a truly terrifying place, one that I feel is best comparable to the Killing Fields brought on by the infamous Khmer Rouge from Cambodia. We live in a world where patches are machine gunned out like you're working on an MMORPG. Try living in fear that an RPG with such amazing promise may never get that patch, that support it needed to propel it to being one of the all time greats.

Until you experience that, you relinquish your right to bitch about bugs on day two of release. Not you, personally, you look like a sweet guy and I'm sure we'd be great friends. I mean, if the lighting was right and the alcohol was strong enough we could even...

I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll be back in five hours, time to reload a save.

Frankly I heard Stalker had bug in save games that was hidden and slowly corrupted saves until it crashed every time. And it took several patches to make it working well enough that starting new game allowed to finish it. (We are not talking about actually repairing these corrupted saves. That's crazy idea.)

 

[Raghar]

What kind of idiot buys a new game these days anyways? Everything needs a shit ton of patches these days.

You should ask what dumb pirate downloads fresh game these days.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Generic-Giant-Spider is really hitting his stride in this thread. You should upgrade to the prestige class Spider Swarm.

With six more Brofists I am eligible for Sword Spider status.

I am still downloading the game, so one quick are there combat options like bull rush, disarm, charge, trip and so on? Or just Power Attack

Haven't seen any of those yet, but I heard people talk about rogues being able to trip.

Disarm,charge and bull rush is in. Probably trip too. Also nice use of intimidation/persuasion in combat too.

 

[Raghar]

How was this stuff not caught in the beta?

It's not that harsh.
But to answer your question, because they are normal company. Self educated high school dropout working for low salary in garage gaming era typically avoided majority of theirs problems. Normal company is just that. Go to work at 9, have lunch, leave work at 17. Perhaps finish work earlier in Friday.

I seen charge command in videos. I think there is also spring attack and most of normal DnD combat stuff.

 

[Theldaran]

I think that the combat maneouvres fit turn-based better, like it was in D&D3 with grids and whatnot. It has to be a nuisance to micromanage those attacks in the middle of the fray.

 

[Curratum]

I will never understand the RtWP haters. The games have a fucking option where it pauses at the end of every turn, so it's just simultaneous resolution. If you're anal-retentive to the point where you need combat with 4 bandits to take 40 minutes, my condolences.

Please tell me how you can properly calculate movement in this pile of shit RTwP. 'Cause I don't see a distance meter anywhere in the game when moving.

So close a BG spiritual successor that it hurts...

You honestly don't. In all my years of playing D&D, I never calculated distance for round-to-round combat purposes in the tabletop as well. To me, this sort of thing is a chore in any medium.

But, you know, D&D3 was designed to work with minis (they can be $old!) and grids, and movement rate mattered. This is easily transported to a computer game, but devs have to try and implement it, not do things inanely.

Make-believe distances in the DM's and player's heads isn't comparable to a videogame that needs to calculate these distances.

By approximation. Just like in BG.

Just like in the real world.
