Thank you all for 2000 subs!
Honestly never thought I'd make it to this, so genuinely thank you all!
In regards to the review; sorry for the wait...
This has been a game I really care about and sunk an ungodly amount of hours into making this review of.
Seriously I had about 150 hours in the game when I started this review and 240 by the time I finished. And that 90 extra hours is mostly from gathering extra footage for this.
I don't even want to think about the total time I spent editing...
This was originally meant to come out in June in you can believe it haha.
Anyway, a Review of Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. As a long time pathfinder fan this one was a joy to playthrough and Owlcat Studios really did an amazing job, with this standing head and shoulders over their previous title kingmaker. Which given that, that was their first game and this is only their second, it is nothing less than commendable.
Of course this being an 100 hour CRPG I did not actually finish the review... Sorry. This is part 1, part 2 will be out... When it's done! Hopefully before the end of the year, but I'm not sure given this one took 5 months to make.
Fun fact the total wordcount for the whole review is 21,142, making it longer than a good deal of my friend university dissertations.
If you'd like more updates you can follow me on twitter:

Oh and if you include "No quarter for Gnomes" in your comment I'll ❤ it.
See you all in the next one, and thanks for sticking with me!

I'm going to watch this as part of campaign prep. Coincidentally I decided to run a PF2e game 2 weeks ago, and lost currency due to rulebook acquisition (find it easier to run through than Nethys). The poor players are about to witness my first real attempt at GMing, but I am actually taking time to prep well. I am sure that they will not encounter terrible things during their adventures in Andoran :)

@Asiis 7 месяцев назад

It's fun to go back to pathfinder after playing this and ralize that the events are canonical and the worldwound is closed. And, more specially, a particular evil demon lord has turned into a nascent neutral force in the abyss.

@devalk_ 7 месяцев назад

It is very nice to be able to see the greater consequences of your actions in the wold. And er... Ember's too.

@bofad6074 9 месяцев назад

The secret ending actually isnt too hard to get, and adds a lot to the main story imo. MUCH MUCH better then kingmakers lol. Great video, gratz on 2k! Also glad you enjoyed my favorite game in years...... I think?

@mahmud7645 7 месяцев назад

True, but getting the ending where all companions ascend and ever harder, where Areelu gets to ascend too is basically impossible without knowing exactly what you‘re doing. I managed to understand that I have to shoot the Demon Lords with the right weapon, that‘s about it.

@user-kq6nh1gr7u 7 месяцев назад

It can be a bit confusing.. you have to pass certain dialogue and perception checks as well as meet certain timelines and milestones to achieve the true secret ending which is to have every one and Areelu Vorlesh ascend to god hood.

@mduckernz 7 месяцев назад

@@mahmud7645I got it my first play through without looking anything up. Had myself, Areelu, and my party ascended to gods. Angel path. I acknowledge this is unlikely for most however, and resulted from my autistic exploration of absolutely everything (and some lucky choices, particularly the first one in the prologue that doesn’t seem important at the time!)

@yammoto148 10 месяцев назад

You got some parts wrong. Not taking Wenduag or not doing the demon decision doesn't lock you out of any mythic paths. Even if you make no decisions for the demon mythic path you can still choose it at the end of Act2. All the other mythic paths are unlocked based on decisions you make in the game not based on choices in the prologue in fact choices in the prologue don't matter at all besides between Lann and Wenduag until you wake up in Defenders hearth.

@diomedes0078 7 месяцев назад

excellent video, although i am not sure how a Wenduag romance and Azata path work out... looking forward to part 2!

@LTenshiPandemonium 11 месяцев назад

20:49 It's very much simplified, from glancing at my friend playing it it just seemed like an experience of "Who has a bigger army", Heroes is a lot different in that aspect because it focues heavily on minimising losses to not get fucked late game. To make that possible every Pole is force taught the importance of movement ranges, half damage ranges for archers and how to effectively kill the archers as fast as possible. Once that is done, you will be beaten up disciplinarily by the larger Pole for picking necropolis when it was explicitly mentioned that it is banned because it's busted.

@devalk_ 11 месяцев назад

I figured the real Heroes games had a lot more depth, as the implementation here is very basic, Speaking of Necropolis I do want to do a Lich run at some point...

@Mr._Anderpson 10 месяцев назад

I haven't played the two Pathfinder computer games yet, but I have them in my GOG list, waiting for winter. Can anyone tell me the purpose (if any) of romantic RP with the NPCs? In Skyrim they make 100 gold a day & hand you sandwiches. In Fallout 4 you can use the constructed nookie on synth Curie to grant yourself a temporary XP bonus. Is there anything similar which would make playing along with the grappling matches appealing to people who aren't 14?

@devalk_ 10 месяцев назад

Yes they can do, Some change the outcomes of events and other can give buffs. Wenduag for instance grants the Mongrel's Blessing: Immunity to death effects, poison, and electricity. Whenever you land a hit in melee, the enemy must pass a Fortitude saving throw or suffer one permanent negative level I don't recall them doing anything in the first game however

After managing to accidentally stumble my way into her ending my first playthrough (still don't know how) I am of the firm belief that she is the best romance option in Kingmaker. Made me sad that Areelu wasn't an option in WoTR, then again she is kinda [SPOILERS] so I can understand why the devs didn't include her. I am interested in seeing what they do with the Warhammer 40k game they are making though.

@devalk_ 11 месяцев назад

heh, it's amazing what you can sneak past people if their focus is drawn to a different area, Yeah I'd agree she's the best romance of Kingmaker, even if she's not up against very strong competition, Also has the same voice actor as Wenduag There is a hidden romance option for Nocticular I believe, romancing Areelu might count as incest, given she's basically you mum after what she did with your soul

@clawgerber1992 7 месяцев назад

It is absolutely unfair. To give a glimpse behind the curtain; I started off aiming for an evil leaning playthrough, But I ended up going down the Azata route and then getting invested in Ember To the point where Ember basically ended up redeeming me By that point Lann was already dead though, and Wenduag's redemption that takes place during her romance route fits well into the theme I'm going for. tl;dr Lann was a necessary sacrifice for everyone else's character development.
