Pathfinder: Kingmaker

I feel like I'd recommend playing this game at lower difficulties, beacuse it's really fucking aids when things are hitting you for 40 damage at level 2

That big acid centipede? I had to reload that fight about 15 times. It's not even a boss fight. It's just random trash that is a lot harder than the rest.

The real question with these types of games for me these days is: Does it forcefully shove trannies/gays/lesbians and other SJW shit down your throat? I saw this on steam yesterday but didn't look much into it til I just read this thread and watched the trailer.

Holy crap. I think I spent a good half hour just trying to figure out what character class I wanted to be. I mean they went all the fuck out in terms of adding in variety.

I went with a Grenadier Alchemist just because it seemed pretty cool and quite a bit different from the usual sort of things.

I am aware that I may end up changing my mind about the main character once I see the companions. I want to make sure I end up with a balanced party of characters that I like and I figured there was little chance of there being an Alchemist companion.

Anyone play Bards IV and put in a chunk of hours on this yet? Which would you recommend to play first.

havent played this yet, but considering all the bugs with Bards tale. This is probably the easy answer.

(do recommend/love bards tale though as well.)

Seems like a really slow paced game, not sure if its for me.

Me too! Loved playing alchemist in pathfinder games, you want to focus on ranged feats like pointblank shot, rapid fire etc. More bombs and ability to not hit your allies next.

Just watched streams so far since I'm finishing another game ... but goddamn those character sheets alone look fucking awesome. Not aware of a game with character sheets that have a timeline of points invested each level.

Seems like they implemented nearly all Pathfinder character mechanics?
Gonna take hours to roll 1 guy ...

There must be a good reason why they didnt given that they included so freaking many classes and subclasses (not to mention Prestige Classes) as it is.

I want to make an alchemist so bad... Need to wait for a sale... haha

Tons of comments on bugs and balance issues on the steam forums about this too though. People with dozens of hours in the beta saying that a lot of things mentioned in the beta aren't fixed now either.

Then again, Bards Tale has bugs too but I am 25 hours into that and yet to encounter any major bugs (thought I did, but was my fault). I will definitely get this later on, but right now I have way too many things to play as it is. I still have Bards Tale, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Dragon Quest and the DE version of Divinity Original Sin 2. Then in a month Red Dead Redemption 2. This can wait until decemberish. Let it cook some more to iron out balance issues.

That plus alchemists generally are a good all around support character. They can heal some they can damage they can turn into my hyde and punch shit in the face depending whats needed.

The original version of summoners was pretty fucking broken you could game the shit out of it to do some really zany stuff. I could see them putting the alternate unhinged summoner build in for a future update as those are a lot less abusable.

So on the SSD comment... I have one, and have it installed on the SSD. The map loading seems slow, and then the actual gameplay is fine. Is that standard? I’ve been out of actual pc gaming for so long I’m not sure if my laptop is slow (brand new) or if I’m just being picky.
