So, how buggy is it, compared to the previous one?
The beggining is a lot more polished with non obstructive tutorial windows appearing,plenty of quality of life improvements, the difficulty is quite lower than kingmaker at release with no absurd encounter, although the tavern assault is quite challenging. So far , no bugs at all, but only a few hours in .

So the game starts with my char being healed. But being dhampir means they only were supposed to damage me even more yet the game doesn't reflect that like it's all good. 10/10

And yeah, cringy writing was expected Idk what you guys are reacting at.

She casts Greater Restoration, doesn't that work on Dhampirs?

My game barely runs on my shitty Notebook but man , i just having a great time. This shit is everything that i wanted from a sequel from Kingmaker.
Life is good , the spider waifu is even better. Fuck Lann.

Ended up with both on last Beta run. Double Seize the Moment + Cleaving Shot + Greater Snap Shot was insane.

Okay I fully admit I was shitting on the companions before knowing anything about them. So far the cast is certainly... unique.

Are cavaliers playable or bugged?
Decent but I’ve noticed some odd (possible bugs) features like not being able to move them around once combat starts (they just attack on their own and you can’t direct them).

Probably but I was talking about the old man's attempt before that. Doesn't matter, too minor shit.

Got in a couple hours last night - first time since the early beta or whatever it was, almost a year ago. This game is feeling pretty damn good.

I picked the hunter-archer archetype with bonuses for targets engaged by the pet (velociraptor, of course) and it seems to suck major balls, that zen archer cringeboy is outperforming me by quite a distance.

And I'm typically someone who is really resistant to writing in games, but it's really shit in places, there are those little bits and pieces that can be pretty lolwat.

Game is great, though, I already know it will be a couple hundred hours investment at least.

Git gud. The bonuses you get are untyped so stack with everything, they just take awhile to really kick in. Atk/dam for you and AC for pet are exactly what you need though and the swap is pretty hilarious too.

Have to stay on top of the Animal Focus but it's really good too. Key to Hunter is keeping Aspect of Falcon and Hurricane Bow up and Enlarge on yourself. And making sure you have a good bow and plenty of Strength/Composite - you have the +2 one right?
I was level 3 when I quit so I didn't have shit, at which point the cringe boy had up to 3 attacks per turn with optional perfect strike on top of that.

It becomes worst,a lot worst. Like a inquisitor going around burning evul elfs because they could be a fucking demons while ignoring swarms of thieflings or super degenerate nobles that will make slanesh blush lol,top tier writing. Fucking kingmaker is a classic compared to that garbage,even deadfire was not that stupid.

Well, apparently I will be playing the 'bad guys' in this game, Neutral Evil here I come. "Looks like meat is back on the menu boys!"

Because much like real life and as OrangeManBad recently quipped, "Everything Woke turns to shit" which also means that the reality inversion we are currently living in exists in a fantasy world. Refugees always good. Preserve your nation-state & borders always evil. Misunderstood ghetto thugs tieflings, and all the other assorted woke fuckery. Got it.

I'm surprised that we don't have a Bard companion this time. As much as I hated Linzi in Kingmaker she was a useful support character especially with all her buffs, and with some of the encounters in this game having one here would be helpful.

If that made you uncomfortable almost as Viktor who realised he never could be as good specialist as Edwin Odesseiron, I wonder how would you feel when you'll meet the Primadonna with a sum of stats about 2 times of your own who seemed to be studied from 20 Strafe Amazon from Diablo.

Yeah, you will need to multi Seelah then.

Why would you take Illusion as opposition school? No to best defensive spells? Also Augument Summoning? That should not work on Undead summoning.

Make Seelah a bard. Only consequence would be a slightly more frustrating early game without a good tank.

As with PF:K though, the woke stuff is still like a decade behind the West's, in essence. The writing is still more concerned with the actual characters and the actual story - albeit they're stronk wymmyn types, lesbos and all the rest of it. (In fact, come to think of it, even the lesbianism is old hat.)

See, Western stuff has reached the stage where it's nothing but activism, pure activism, unmoored to reality, or even entertainment, in any way whatsoever, with almost no concern for story or character development.

But the fag end of Russia's later exposure to all this crap means they're still as the West was from the late 90s to the end of the Noughties, just with more garish up-to-date visuals. You get the impression that they're still actually concerned with these things from a humanist perspective, as opposed to the White hot hatred and deconstruction of Western civilization evinced in Western woke stuff. They're concerned about being nice to degenerates and oddballs because you might hurt their feelings - the older phase of propaganda that we've gone way past now.

Or to put it another way, the characters still actually have stories and psychological development. Almost nothing like that can be found in the West today. All entertainment is spectacular set pieces for the rubes, strung together with teaching moments, and nothing but that.

Possibly the most profound and insightful piece of writing in this entire thread so far. This should be sticky at the front of this thread for all to see like a head on a pike serving as a warning of what happens over decades when you let the insidious poison start to seep into your nation / culture.

Then you suck. Why would you choose a class and never even learn how to play it?

Up to three, if he burns his very limited Ki. You can double your Threat Range, get a ton of Perception, make your bow bigger, get four free DEX, have +1 atk/dam, and have a 33AC tank on top of all that instead.

But you'd rather suck.

Marksman played well will be better than either. It will be my main on first Hard run probably.

In this setting Seelah as straight Pal is better than Linzi was as Bard. There are a ton of Morale bonuses so Good Hope is less good.

That was my first impression. There are other ways to get what Bard gave you. Order of the Lion Cav has some of it.

My mount has been useless so far, I found it better to just not use it. Hopefully I get some good armor for it later, at least so far in the early game.

Did anyone manage to kill the
water elemental in the side room in the maze
when they were at lvl 2-3? It was beyond me on Core.

Let Seelah take the hits ,reduce her, barkskin her and etc. Cam should be buffing party and demorilzing it. There are lots of scrolls and potions in the Maze, save them for that fight.

No, give Seelah the Glaive from the boss and let her whack it. Enlarge her don't Reduce her. You need to blow through the DR.

Also this there's some Inflict Critical Scrolls Cam can use.
