Just recently purchased this game. Years ago I played all kinds of Pathfinder and 2nd and 3rd edition D & D pen and paper RPG games so this really caught my attention. A bit sad to see this channel hasn't gotten more attention. This has been very informative and I love the deadpan humour.
I just finished playing Rogue Trader and wanted to try more of their games. Just started this one. Also finished BG3 a while back so looking forward to it :)
Don't just want to do 2 acid damage with Octavia? Erm... No, I want to do 2 acid damage + sneak attack damage. Since she's an eldritch trickster, she can sneak attack with spells and cantrips. As for my character, I played as a Half Orc Magus. So unlike you, I had little time or patience for Regongar, though his draconic bloodline abilities were definitely cool. Oh, those beautiful wings!
I played both Pillars of Eternity and both Divinity Original Sin, and I have to say that Pathfinder is the most challenging one. I'm playing on "Unfair" dificulty and is extremely challenging, specially the kingdom management. After 350 hours, I have very little to finish, and my characters are level 18, so they are extremely powerful. My main character is an eldritch archer, and is a very funny class to play, sort of glass cannon
This is so fun because this is how I felt learning to play wrath of the righteous. I have no experience with pathfinder and I'm just figuring it out on my own. When the average player of the boardgame would know all of this stuff. People try to gatekeep these games and say u can't play them but I disagree. It's so much fun
I just picked up this game a few weeks ago and am driving myself nuts creating spreadsheets for my main character and all the companions. But I love it so far, and am really looking forward to putting all my theorycrafting to the test!
Just started playing. I got the game on Xbox for sale for a little over 7 dollars. This game seems to had gotten a lot of bad press, but I like it so far. Thank you for the guide.
I like Kingmaker, but the thing that bothers me is it needlessly over complicates what should be simple. An example would be on choosing a new skill on level up, there's a lot of words but I still have no clue what the damage average is going to be or if it has potential to be broken with my current build or horrifically useless. It feels a little impenetrable at times, unsuitable for casual RPG players with a sub100 IQ, such as myself. PotR is also proving difficult to comprehend. I'm trying to build a sort of Jedi/Sith class using kinetic knight as the base because of the energy sword, and planning on adding some wizard spells for CC and buffs, basically replicating force powers. So far it doesn't seem to be going well, still very early but I fear I'll be going back to the drawing board.
I am a big kine lover. Issue with kinetic knight, is that it trades off a lot of power and doesn’t give much back. Base kineticist would be much better for you overall. The one benefit of knight is the sword at level 1. But you can rp in the fact you need to train before your sword becomes good. Late game you can solo the game using your sword.
I was enjoying the game up until a bug that prevents Valerie from fighting anything. I might have just swapped her out for another character but it was literally the first battle that she wanted to fight alone because some dude wanted to take her back to wherever the hell she's from. It's a well known bug and the devs have just opted to ignore it. Went from an 8/10 game to 1/10 in a heartbeat, and then uninstalled. It's hard for me to feel empathy towards the devs when the entire game can be tracked accurately with a pen and paper, yet a pc/console can't seem to handle things without fucking up.
Tip for the spider cave you dont have to fight any of the spider swarms you can just take the berries and leave, just renember to go directly back to the alchemist instead of exploring or you will have to go back and pick them up again
Looking forward to more. I started this game a week or so ago and ended up buying hard copies of the books for the game just so I could try to understand more. Not crazy about the only tanks the game provides (so far) being buffed up, angry, man-hating women, but what are you gonna do other than roll your eyes at the overcompensation & politically-slanted narrative? I'm into Chapter 2 & beginning to struggle. I've been bitten by the bug now, so I'm invested in figuring the game out. So I'll probably still be hammering away at chapter 2 in later months should your videos on this topic continue. I'll leave a few questions in case you wish to touch on these things in future videos or if some kind soul has advice to give. 1) Some buildings are available only to specific alignments, like dance halls & orphanages. What happens with the structures if your alignment shifts? Do I lose the dance hall if I shift to neutral good instead of chaotic good? 2) What counts as adjacent in the city building map? If I place a longhouse in the center, are all 8 squares around it adjacent or only the ones for the four cardinal directions? 3) Which initial structures are essential & which are things to put off until later? 4) You're given two quests off the bat in Chapter 2 which ask you to travel alone. Should you put these off until you've explored/quelled the land a bit? Seems crazy to risk a random encounter solo given some of the ambushes I've walked into with a party of 6 and barely survived. Anyway, apologies for the novel & once again I look forward to more of these videos since I'm finding out I'm pretty terrible at this game. EDIT: Oh, and I'm playing a male human ranger.
I've played wrath of the Righteous a fair amount so I'm mostly concerned with any changes between those two. I know I'm backwards as shit but nevertheless.
Not really... if you really need to play a Diablo game, Diablo 2 resurrected is still a good game. I don't like giving blizzard money but Diablo 2 is an amazing game
So, I've played D&D off and on for the last 30 years or so, but never really delved into Pathfinder. Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Planescape: Torment are some of my favorite games of all time. I love how this guide actually skips the complex details while letting you know that they are there if you want to get into them. I'll have to check out some more of your videos. Glad this was recommended to me.
I was a 5e player for 8 years before finally trying this "complicated" game people kept recommending called Pathfinder 2e. It took everything I loved about 5e and made it even better in every single way. I highly recommend!
I dont know how yall can stand playing these in turn based mode.. i dont particularly dislike turn based games, but there are so few rtwp options. I find the real time combat far more exciting
Thanks. I purchased the Pathfinder PC games but it has been sitting in my GOG list. Having never played a Pathfinder game, I was hoping to find information which doesn't spoil the game(s). Is this the sort of game which needs a few mods to make it less broken, or is it ready to go? Love your accent.
Thank you! I don’t think it needs mods, but they can definitely bring some nice improvements. I am playing without and I am still having a very good time, even though the game can be upsetting at times
This showed up in my recommended when i just started this game. Perfect timing... Then felt called out when I saw we picked the same name and character portrait (resting bitch face for the win) and we both missed a lot of hits. I'm going to enjoy this video series!
I am also a Crpg beginner, the other day I was playing BG3 and I couldn't figure out why my spell caster wouldn't cast spells, it turns out that you can't wear armor for some reason.
Oh yeah that’s a thing with most spellcasters I think, at least Kingmaker doesn’t let you equip armour that a character can’t use. I really wanna play BG too, it might be the next one on my list
Bg3 is set in D&D 5e, and is far more simplistic, and beginner friendly. Pathfinder is the extreme end of depth. Im jo expert uy ahy means, but I personally dont enjoy 5e. Despite the flaws of Pathfinder (and there are many) it really is one of the best crpg pc games
@@SpacePirateCatsfyi, the games are not connected, in any way, so you wont lose anything. I am the exact same way though. I have to play games in order, and with every bit of available content
Great video so far ❤. I just started this game and some of the things in part one I already figured out but it’s still massive and overwhelming…. Where I struggle at the moment is… I don’t know in which order to explore the first area. I wouldn’t mind if there wasn’t the time limitations with 90 days. I’m already down to 60 and I have the feeling that I’ve done nothing but a few quests, still no gear and many of the spots where I can go the enemies are simply to heavy or no challenge at all. And for my understanding if I don’t do the right order I may miss something of the story. Maybe you can pick the subject up on your second part and give me here a short tip how I can proceed. Thanks in advance, gave you a like and subscribe
Thank you! Yes I am definitely gonna talk about quest order and time management in the next part, but my suggestion would be that at some point during the Stag Lord quest you are gonna have to wait for his fort to be revealed which will take a while, so in that time you can go deal with Tartuccio. Also, if a location is too challenging just leave it for later, and bring as many camping supplies as you can cause hunting can take a long time.
@@SpacePirateCats thanks for your quick answer, im curious for the next video then. I loaded an older savegame and bought some rations, but ive noticed that they gonna hunt anyways even if "use rations" is activated. Or does that simply means it uses less time?
Yeah you just need to tick the “use rations” options and leave the hunting slots empty. It’s gonna tell you that the hunter came back empty handed but you are actually gonna save the time it would take to hunt
Yes it's worth buying but just be aware that there's not much more than about 5 months of useful fun then after you have obtained a fully geared Demon Hunter or Monk the end-game grind literally forces you to stop playing as it is boring, pointless, and induces hand and arm problems.
I see this video didn't get a lot of views but it still appeared in my recomended videos and was actually very helpful, so thank you for this. Hope there will be more videos!
Great video. I bought this game a few years ago for Xbox one, only just started playing it last week on my Series X! Lol! Having a blast. A lot to learn despite this diablo is more casual than past entries.
Thanks! Yeah, I know the feeling... Going to the PC version from the ancient PS3, there was so much new stuff I had to learn about, but once you get into it there's a lot of fun to be had!
I'm from Slovakia, but over time I've picked up influences from Italian, and Irish accents. It happens unconsciously to me, so it might get even weirder depending on where I am and whom I hang out with haha
