Thanks, anon. By the way, any money from direct game sales goes to Pozzo? (Pozzfinder IP owner). If yes, then sorry, it isn't worth it.

>>15522470

I would assume so. Anyone know what kind of split these licensing deals normally look like?

>>15522404

Fuck off with this shit game

>>15523088

Is there a better CRPG that came out since NWN2?

Please say yes I need more

>>15523183

>>15523145

I heard good things about Age of Decadence as well but it's post apoc also so if you're into just fantasy there really isn't many choices.

>>15523183

it sucks. there are only certain builds that are viable

>>15523346

>It doesn't actually get rid of them

YOUR CHOICES MATTER

>>15523346

It's an ugly dyke I take it?

>>15523399

Looks like the chick from DMC5

>>15523479

I don't even think the game has niggers in it and I've only found one gay

I really wanted to give this a solid go but it's testing my patience now, saving after every damn thing that doesn't kill me is getting old, every bastard encounter that isn't some soft bellied pile of shit is raping at least one of my skanks before they're dealt with, shields run out fast, spells too, this means potions, which quickly means no potions, which means shopping which means backtracking or finding a new store which means wasting time which is apparently at a fucking premium, gr8 stuff games on timers can suck my dick.

So you stock up and RNG your way to barley managing to kill some half tasty cunt but 3 of your team are royally fucked up so your potionless asses have to rest but then your anus gets a nocturnal raking over the coals by whatever shitheel decided to start crit stabbing your sleeping mates for a chuckle. It feels like this game hates the player. I've got fuck nothing done on the 'build a damn town' front, saw the little purple cunt once but he ran off, the gangs are NAILS as fuck, gotta go killing everything weak to get anywhere it seems, at this rate I'll have to find a way to reset the clock.

>>15523512

What are your difficulty settings at? I made a custom setting because 'normal' has modifiers below PF and "challenging" has modifiers above it. You have to manually make everything PF baseline. It still isn't baseline but it's closer that way.

By the way I finished the first part with the 90 day timer in 30 days, so don't sweat the timer.

>>15523512

isnt there a tranny in this game?

>>15523198

age of decadence is an amazing game with some excellent writing. it's also a weird take on post apocalyptic. it's post apocalyptic imperial rome

>>15523530

I haven't heard of this, but it's entirely possible. Are you sure you aren't talking about the tranny from Pathfinder P&P modules that was discussed in the first thread? I have no clue if that character is in this game or not.

>>15523525

Yeah I set everything to normal/1:1 too but I am a Wizard, I may have ventured too far into the shit and need to back up.

>>15523530

Not seen it yet if there is.

>>15523549

>I'm a wizard

Well no shit things are hard at first and second level.

The trailers looked good, the setting seemed kind of interesting (I did not know what Pathfinder was at the time) so I made a mental note for 9/25. After reading a few user reviews and snippets of SJW banter, I made up my mind.

I fired up Baldur's Gate and made a new character. See ya!

>>15523767

>>fun

Only if you are a fan of beta testing, anon. Haven't played it myself but just going through the threads on Steam makes me feel sorry for the players.

>>15523789

Welp all i need to hear maybe in two years when its on sale and probaly not even then if something better is out

>>15523805

Black Geyser seems to be in the same vein as this. I have bookmarked Blasphemous as well (although it's not a CRPG) because the setting has caught my fancy. Other than that I don't know what to look forward to next as far as this miserable genre. Read books I guess.

Is wizard the best class?

>>15523823

Ever since Rust ever developer has been releasing half finished garbage all of which are bigger than 10gbs.

>>15523834

Its been awhile but wizards are always the best class in dnd

>>15523834

>>15523837

Depends on the game really. Sometimes clerics are clearly the best and every now and again it's monks but in general wizards are, yes.

>>15523837

I hope so, because I've started with an wizard elf. I've picked conjuring as main and necromancy and divinity as opposite. I thought that I can start by summoning a dog to help me, but nope. At the start the summoning spell isn't charged.

>>15523837

Admittedly RPG's, especially those that come with vast overarching quest lines and lots of freedom of choice are prone to bugs but the onslaught of bug reports on freaking launch day has left me bedazzled. Professional reviewers are going to eat them alive.

>>15523863

>Professional reviewers are going to eat them alive.

I wouldn't bet on that really.

>>15523870

I hope I am wrong for their sake. Only 65% of Steam user reviews are positive at the moment.

>>15523848

Have fun and good luck anon

Tell me if its as buggy as steam and anon is saying.

>>15523843

How could i forget about clerics, Detect evil to find out if my quest givers are evil then:

Oh and I found an "alpha wolf" which appears to be below a dire wolf. Dire wolves have +2 dex AC and +3 natural AC. Alpha wolves have 4 dex AC and 8 natural AC.

>>15523905

Sleep bandits being able to dodge hits and invisible doors id understand.

but dead bodies following you and skeletons in the sky are pretty damn heinous.

There seems to be a time limit on one of the main quests too. You'd need to pay me to give this a shot.

This. Does anybody even remember how INSANELY, borderline unplayably buggy today's classics like all of the Infinity Engine games, Fallout 1/2, ToEE, Arcanum, etc. were?

>>15524015

PoE, Torment, and Tranny will never be good though.

>>15523954

That gives them less of an excuse, not more. 20 years later we shouldn't be making the same mistakes.

Amiri might as well be one now I think, she's obsessed with emulating what men do and carries a giant phallic feminine penis weapon, shout-talks like a retard, probably covering up some severe daddy issues and needs a deep dicking but my Wizard (in ever sense) sure as fuck ain't doing it.

>>15524133

The swarms get easier if you realize you can control target some AoE attacks so you don't hit your fighters when you use them. Generally though that's a horribly balanced encounter.

>pros: pathfinder

>>15524540

At least it isn't 4th ed, an MMO system or a simplified system like Skyrim.

Isn't it great that we live in a world where being pathfinder is a pro?

>>15524540

It's mediocre I'd say, but it's probably the best thing related to D&D.

He's complaining about Bows being better than crossbows anything he says is shit.

If that was the case crossbows would have never been built in the first place.

>>15524550

They did eventually they switched over to spears.

>>15524569

I always figured bows and crossbows were situational things.

>>15524525

>>15524550

>>15524569

Both are in pretty radically different contexts:

>classical era

Cavalry didn't exist, because there were no stirrups nor reigns. Instead, there were only infantry in light armor and (later) chariots. Order of battle was bows, javelins/slings, short spears, then swords, marching with tower shields (discarded when in sword range) in tight formations.

>middle ages

Cavalry was used to harass and break up tight formations, so instead line infantry was used with long (>15') pikes to ward off cavalry, and heavier armor allowed the use of smaller shields with more powerful close range weapons.

>D&D

Is primarily about individual combat in close quarters, not mass engagements on open terrain. As such, sword/axe/mace & shield/main-gauche has a massive advantage over spears or two-handers. And ranged weapons of any kind aside from offhand thrown weapons are completely unrealistic

>vancian casting

Into the trash, m80.

>>15524255

Sean K. Reynolds left years ago (possibly fired) and his replacement is a guy who wrote optimization guides. Company is still shit though, and the beta test for their new system is horrifically bad. They went to a D20 Modern/Saga Edition/4E style approach where classes had no fixed abilities and you picked from a talent tree every other level. They missed the point of that design entirely (admittedly of the three examples only Saga Edition pulled it off. D20 Modern had talents that were almost all retarded in design. "You get +1 to a skill" and "You can add your intelligence to your to-hit on the second round onward" were equal, 4E was shit) and it forces you into a single tower depending on what you want to specialize in. Except you still have fixed abilities on top of that, so characters are still shoehorned into a role.

>>15524559

What about AD&D?

>>15524594

It was, crossbows were sometimes used in more urban places. The problem is in that pic the person was complaining about how crossbows were inferior in every respect.

>>15522404

Is there a loli mod yet?

>>15524645

Not in its later sense, no. Due to the unwieldiness of horsemanship prior to the invention of better riding gear, horse were generally restricted to scouting and skirmishing.

>>15524669

My point was that using the tactics and weapons of the mass battlefield, from any era, to evaluate the usually indoors one-on-one combat in an RPG is silly.

>>15524702

It's the same system as 3.0, except the math is reversed.

>>15524727

>Horsemanship wasn't popular before the invention of better riding gear

>A combat skill that has been widely used since at least the bronze age, used everywhere from ancient Greece to ancient China and nearly every nation in between and never dropped since its adoption until the advent of motorized transport.

If you said something intelligent like it was rarely utilized prior to the classical period because the cost of maintaining a cavalry was unfavorably high in most circumstances, you wouldn't have sounded like a complete retard.

>>15523837

>wizards are always the best class in dnd

that's not always true in crpgs since casters lack a lot of their really crazy cheese powers like scry, flight, long range teleportation, and dumpster diving through monster manuals for broken creatures to summon or transform into. Plus CRPGs tend to hand out magic items like everyday is Christmas which drastically increases the effectiveness of non casters.

I mean, hell, Druids in NWN2 were considered a low tier class and fighters were a solid high middle, while in tabletop D&D Druids were considered obscenely overpowered and fighters were just above fucking monks at the bottom of the list at the time.

Just accept that swords and bows are always going to always be > than spears and crossbows in fantasy games due to rule of cool, and horses will always be downplayed because horse archers would completely break 95% of encounters.

>but the trannies, the poz

When it comes right down to it any longterm tabeltop player, regardless of their politics, will create a character that crosses the line into liberal territory and occasional fetishism. D&D's supported this since forever ago with the girdle of masculinity/femininity, the dark elf bondage queens, etc. Degeneracy is just where the game goes sometimes.

When we consider the modern fanbase, who are unfortunately the hot market, we basically get a bunch of dumb-as-dirt motherfuckers who not only won't think of an option unless it's distinctly spelled out for them but will actually protest loudly and uncontrollably until they get their way and even for a little while after.

The existence of Shardra Geltl, Yoon, and the occassional hermaphroditic tiefling are all answers for normalfags wanting to get into the game who lack the creativity to make their perfect snowflake without the word of God directly supporting their actions.

>>TWF on non-Paladin

Are you implying rogues, who get a flat bonus from sneak attacks, don't benefit greatly from doubling their hits early?

Additionally initiative does effect acting first.

Also monsters almost always make their saves because the RNG seems heavily weighted, so HP damage (HP is also inflated) matters a lot more.

>>15525025

I know blasters aren't optimal but an orc isn't going to be subtle with magic.

>>15525033

Don't you see, they're actually noble savages who are just misunderstood and dindu nuffin.

>Rogue 1/Wizard 3/Arcane Trickster (take accomplished Sneak Attacker at level 3)

>Paladin 2/Sorcerer 3/Dragon Disciple 4/Eldritch Knight 10/Sorcerer 1

>>15525039

Rogues are horrible at TWF because the accuracy penalties are too high for them to actually hit anything while doing it. Paladins (and Rangers who can ensure their Favored Enemy is always their target, which is impossible to do in a video game) can TWF because they have a high enough BAB and charisma to hit to actually hit while doing it, have bonus damage on smite (Paladin level always applying>half level times ~3.5). Depending on what options they implemented a Fighter could also be decent at it (They need Gloves of Dueling, but can make it work if they have them).

Half the point of Improved Initiative is being able to target enemies that are in a cluster, which doesn't work in RTWP.

>>15525071

>Rogues are horrible at TWF because the accuracy penalties are too high for them to actually hit anything while doing it

-2 is too high?

>Half the point of Improved Initiative is being able to target enemies that are in a cluster, which doesn't work in RTWP.

Yes, it's better in turn based, but in the implementation of this game (non-synced timers) it does have an effect and that effect is noticeable. It's especially noticeable on things like debuffs, so it would be more useful on a sorcerer or something. It's marginally useful on damage dealers though, due to killing the thing before it can kill you back.

>>15525056

that actually is potentially true for the half-orcs

the full orcs are full on nig-tier in canon though

>>15525085

It's actually a good game.

>>15525056

>not 'avin brutal cunning

I really wanted to like this game, but in the first 10 mins one gigantic glaring issue becomes obvious:

Pathfinder: LOADING SCREENS

>click a button, any button, loading screen

>enter map, loading screen

>leave map, loading screen

>open inventory, character sheet, levelup, loading screen

>click kingdom manager, loading screen

>save/load game, loading screen

Evrything you do in this fucking game has a loading time, is there any way to get rid of these infinite loading screens? If i downgrade the graphics or something, will it load faster? I'am so fucking tired of waiting 20secs every single time a click a door to enter a new area in the map, its so immertion breaking…

>>15525085

it's a CRPG interpretation of the best Pathfinder adventure path with additional content provided by the community (as the community sometimes does with APs. There's a metric fuckton of fan content for Rise of the Runelords, for instance)

gameplaywise, while real-time-with-pause has its flaws, many of us do have fond memories of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights. So the gameplay isn't a total turnoff (thou I'd have preferred turnbased on a grid).

>>15525134

>Ellipsis

Kys your yourself

Also I got tired of it enough to clear out my SSD. It helps, but not much.

>>15525081

That's 10% lower to hit chance, and a Rogue already has a low chance from medium BAB.

>>15525148

Wasn't the point of TWF on Rogues always the extra sneak attack dice for a full round attack?

>>15525160

More detail. What gen of Intel CPU, what speed of RAM, most importantly what speed of mass storage device (HDD/SSD).

>>15525179

Those are not default portraits, there is like a dozen or two default, so you'll have to mod more in.

>>15525235

Granted the default portraits don't even contain a single white human woman who looks like a normal adventurer.

>>15525208

Yes, but you connect so little it barely matters. Paladin or Fighter with the gloves will outdamage them.

>>15525235

>>15525280

Anybody got any good portrait packs or sources then?

>>15525208

I thought SA is a static damage dice addition based on level, you don't get any extra SA damage from TWF or using a larger weapon

>>15525287

You get sneak attack bonus on all attacks during that full round attack. That's what made vivisectionist alchemist so retard strong, because with the right feats and discoveries they can get like 5 attacks causing sneak attack damage per round giving you like 50d6 damage every full round sneak attack. Larger weapons don't really have any bonus, it's all about quantity over quality.

>>15525281

>-10% chance to hit

>Barely connect

>Not worth multiplying your damage by huge amounts

You already have to be flanking or catching things flatfooted to get a sneak attack off in the first place. That's already making up most of what you're losing by not being a full BAB class. The to hit loss is barely noticeable compared to the huge bonus you get from getting off more sneak attacks in a round.

>>15522404

Thanks for the review OP. Always looking for a good RPG that isn't cucked as fuck.

>>15525310

It's not "huge amounts", it's ~3.5 damage per hit every other level (1.75 every level) if certain conditions are met, which generally takes an extra turn to get going. That's assuming you get through DR to even make sneak attack damage. Paladin gets 1 damage every level while everything except skills is just flat better (they get spells, martial weapons, d10 HD, divine bond, lay on hands and some other shit. Almost all the rogue talents are garbage.). Paladin smite damage is also multiplied on a critical hit while sneak attack is not.

>>15525310

>like 5 attacks causing sneak attack damage per round

Seven actually, shit's nice.

>>15525327

Oh and flanking gives you a bonus equal to TWF's penalty as well. I really think you're overblowing the -2 penalty. The BAB being shit is a much bigger deal.

>>15525280

>Triple posting

Sorry

I misread in >>15525340

I don't have any human women in my party, just the dead elf, so I have no clue. Wouldn't surprise me.

>>15525379

>later levels when just about 50% of what the game can throw at you is immune to it

You're thinking about 3.0/3.5. In pathfinder only creatures of the Ooze type, the elemental subtype, and a tiny handful of very specific one off monters are immune to sneak attacks.

>>15525327

FYI, getting 3.5 average damage per even level is actually a lot of damage when dealing with Pathfinder, or similar games in general. That's your prize for trading down your hit die and having a harder time managing an acceptable AC. For reference, a two-handed fighter gains 20 damage at max level when using power attack, in exchange for 5 attack. Pathfinder also did away with the sneak attack immunities for things like golems and skeletons, so you actually get to claim that bonus all of the time.

If you have at least two melee, you should be flanking regardless for the attack bonus. If you're not flanking, you're not claiming a free bonus. You can't complain about having to flank to get a bonus if you're supposed to be fulfilling that condition anyway. Also, Pathfinder doesn't use the stupid-ass scaling in Starfinder or Pathfinder 2e, so you don't have to have a full bab just to have a 10% chance to hit anything.

>>15525406

Most undead as well as far as I can recall.

I was mostly going by number of unique monsters in the bestiary. Of course as you get higher in the bestiary, you start finding more and more nonsense and unique monsters; not really things you expect to encounter very often. It's only really a problem when your DM is being a jackass.

>>15525422

>Undead Traits (Ex)

>Undead are immune to death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, phantasms, and patterns), paralysis, poison, sleep, stun, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless). Undead are not subject to ability drain, energy drain, or nonlethal damage. Undead are immune to damage or penalties to their physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution), as well as to fatigue and exhaustion effects. Undead are not at risk of death from massive damage.

I don't think you remember correctly about undead. That would be huge.

>>15525425

You are correct. I thought it was more of a case-by-case with undead. It looks like it's really just incorporeal undead which are a bitch and a half to deal with anyways.

>>15525442

So like ghosts? That makes sense.

Where the FUCK are some decent shortswords? I have a masterwork shortsword and a vanilla shortsword still at level 6 for my rogue MC. I've had +1 glaives, all sorts of dual enchanted hammers and axes, +2 longswords, but not even a second fucking masterwork shortsword.

Downloading now.

Can I make something like my Fighter/Wizard/Weaponmaster on NwN?

Or a Paladin/Sorc/Dragon disciple?

Wait is there no BaB on this game? What?

>>15525466

There is, it's just difficult to find in the interface.

>>15525470

I'm still downloading the game just looking at the wiki.

It doesn't say BaB High/Medium/Low on the characters.

>>15525471

Yeah it doesn't show how it progresses either. It's very bad at showing progression in general.

>>15525473

This game seriously relies on you knowing the Pathfinder ruleset before you start playing.

>>15525473

I imagine they're the same as the rulebook. I don't know why they would change it.

>>15525475

If that's the case it's really bad design.

>>15525475

I've literally been using a pathfinder wiki over trying to wrangle with what the game tells you.

Its looking like NWN1 is still the best at least that explained the characters properly.

What is max level on this campaign?

>>15525459

Paladin/sorc/eldritch knight or Magnus/Sorc/Eldritch Knight (though you need to either get the subclass that make magnus use CHA or the Sorc subclass that makes them use INT for casting. Or you could go straight Magnus if all you care about is pure damage.

Never really saw the point of fucking over your casting by going DD

>>15525536

On NWN if you make a Gish you can get decent caster level and almost full AB. It's cool to be able to have a character that can do everything.

>>15525629

I don't have the game going yet. But a pure class Fighter should be good enough as long as you use Scimitar or Greatsword.

Anything with full BaB should be easy, if you want have some diplomacy too for gameplay.

Pick a race with a Wisdom bonus, pick a cleric with the crusader sub class, raise your wisdom stat to at least 18, 12 for you dex and cha, and the rest in your strength score. Get the biggest fucking armor, shield and one handed weapon you can use, pick all the spells that say they buff your damage, ac, or stats cast a few of them on your self at the start of every fight and remember to rest every so often to refresh your spells. There, you have about the most powerful, idiot proof build possible.

>>15525688

I never liked clerics as beginner classes. Maybe as an introduction to casters.

>>15525691

you get your entire spell list by default, you can change your prepared list daily so even if you pick dumb spells one day you can change it the next, solid armor and weapon proficiency, shields, the ability to cast in armor and medium HP and attack bonus. You don't even have to prepare healing spells in advanced, you can just cast them whenever. Sure playing a full caster is a bit complicated, but any mistake you might make early on can be corrected later as you get more system mastery.

It's only weakness is it's skill list. And you can fix that with some domain choices. Or use party member as you pet skill monkeies

>>15524935

I rate it exterminaus/heresy.

>>15525718

Medium Bab is bad too. Do you get divine power on Pathfinder?

>>15525691

You do have it in table top, I don't know if the spell is in kingmaker or not

I did not read the thread yet but let me guess : /v/ hates it.

Yep. Lots and lots of retards ITT. Thanks Mark, this is the /v/ you helped create.

>>15525340

Middle one looks like that kid in school who's convinced he 'has powers' and then gets his ass kicked repeatedly. School shooter optional.

Just thinking if Monk gets UBAB for Quarterstaff coulden't this lead to some insane Fighter/Monk build?

>>15525688

>the biggest fucking armor, shield

Ah yes and get fucked over by DIVINE spell failure. Who the hell let that one bug in I wonder?

>>15525747

>>15525743

this board has IDs you know

>>15524136

Amiri is the iconic barbarian character straight from Paizo. So I assume all the retarded shit she says comes straight from them. Oh and she is of course canonically bisexual. It isn't called Pozzfinder for nothing.

>>15524821

Agreed. By all means, pirate it to test it out. You need to not be a mouthbreather to succeed at this game.

>>15525071

Initiative actually does something in this game, unlike NWN. Do you want your disabler to wait 6 seconds before acting?

>>15525758

>DIVINE spell failure

What?!?! That was the only reason to pick faggy time Clerics to get free still spell ha ha.

>>15525760

I am replying to myself to reference what I just said you illiterate shit nigger

>>15525763

There is no divine spell failure.

>>15525763

kingmaker doesn't even fucking have still spell as a feat choice

>>15525759

Pathfinder has some of the worst official art I've seen in a PnP game. Be glad the devs went for their own style, even if the portraits are just copies of images they used for npcs.

>>15525767

That's really shitty…

Can you even cast Acid sheath or Maximized IGMS? any of the good spells?

>>15525762

>Amiri is the iconic barbarian character straight from Paizo. So I assume all the retarded shit she says comes straight from them.

Pretty much. She always had to be stronger than the men of her tribe out of a sense of personal pride. There's a wiki for this stuff

>Oh and she is of course canonically bisexual. It isn't called Pozzfinder for nothing.

All of the iconics are canonically bisexual, but not for the reason you're thinking; Paizo's staff knew fujoshits and the like would write slashfiction, so rather than force the issue with a canon straight character and deal with a million angry hambeasts they just went "yeah, sure, whatever"

>>15525772

That's hardly an excuse.

That said, the devs kept the degenerate shit comparatively contained. Octavia and Regongar stand out, sadly. At least none of the characters IMMEDIATELY try to jump your dick / cooch after you meet them.

>>15525771

Pathfinder doesn't have Acid Sheath. That's 3/3.5

>>15525785

>At least none of the characters IMMEDIATELY try to jump your dick / cooch after you meet them.

and just like that it's already superior to Dragon Age

If Shardra shows up in the game and doesn't immediately talk about how fucking trans he is, then we can just outright declare the devs to be vastly superior to Bioware

>>15525771

Missile Storm was a Bioware's creation, not the D&D books. You can tell because it was an evocation spell that did an amount of damage you'd actual care about and 3rd edition wasn't suppose to have that. Direct damage spells were suppose to be flashy trap options whose main purpose was distract new Wizard players from casting the overpowered SaveOrDie and SaveOrSuck spells that actually ended fights.

>>15525788

Well what does it have instead?

>>15525803

It make my caster a gundam, very cool spell (also does 250 dmg)

>>15525568

Bottom left looks like a flamboyant tranny tbh.

>>15525793

> doesn't immediately talk about how fucking trans he is

Who the fuck would even care about being trans in a D&D world. A wizard could turn a person into a perfect version of the opposite sex at like level 5.

>>15525589

So far it's not been full of poz though, you're carrying too much baggage from the tabletop cuckrules and auto applying it to this. I'm not saying you're wrong cos I don't know yet but you're jumping the gun.

>>15525820

That's exactly the point. The perfect tranny fantasy, switching gender at a whim.

The game keeps close to the Kingmaker adventure, so if no other iconic characters are in that, they probably won't be in the game either. And thank God for that. Wait until you meet Jubilost, Owlcat are perfectly capable of writing characters that will make your blood boil. Although considering how much of a grade A shitter he is, some of you might feel a certain kinship.

>>15525766

There isn't but the game somehow applies the (arcane) spell failure chance of heavy armors to divine casters.

>>15525848

I sure hope you didn't touch PoE or Numanuma then.

>>15525850

Haven't noticed any spell failure.

>>15525850

is there a chance you were casting a domain spell that normally appears on the arcane list?

>>15525850

>CoDZilla can't cast in heavy armor

This can't be real, can it?

>>15525858

What is it with PF art and those retarded oversized feet/boots?

>>15525864

Golarion might have greater gravity than Earth, creating a tendency toward broader feet

or it might just be how the artist does things

>>15525868

Don't be faux reasonable, I'm enjoying my anger.

>>15525870

You've done little more than bitch the whole time you've been in this thread and yet you blame Mark for shit thread quality.

>>15525873

Can anyone who has played this please answer a few questions?

<Can you can change a party member's portrait like you could in Baldur's Gate, whether they are a custom character or not?

<Is there any way to re-stat shitty party members?

<Are the dialogues provided by pre-made characters worth having them around or do they only really have unique conversations before you add them to the party?

>>15525769

That picture is one of the iconic D&D sorcerers.

The impression I'm getting is that I should wait a year for the game to get patched up then play it, sound about right?

>>15527377

And see if they kike out on DLC

>>15527386

And that's why god invented piracy, amen

>>15527132

There isn't too much companions have to say. You can't restat them without editing the game files. I don't think you can switch portraits on them.

>>15527638

By "kike out" I meant "make it gayer". I wasn't even considering nickle and diming, fuck.

will this run on a toaster?

>>15529000

>you can't even control what feats and spells or even multi-classes they get when they level

I can't think of any other D&D CRPG like that

>>15529020

How can you make a crit build off a weapon with the lowest crit chance? A falchion is better for crit builds.

>>15529060

>How can you make a crit build off a weapon with the lowest crit chance?

By grabbing the feats that increase your chance, duh.

>>15529079

You mean the same feats that when used with a Falchion result in triple the chance of a crit?

>>15529173

For half the damage, yes.

>>15529207

Are you a girl? Because that shit's porn for women. Guys tend not to read that.

>>15529192

Which still ends up working in favour of the Falchion, since you have triple the crit chance.

How do you play any D&D when you're this bad at maths?

>>15529372

Nah, I just wanted some fantasy book in a renaissance setting. Didn't know what I was getting into. If you forget the porn, it was a nice book. My twin sister recommended it to me

>>15529531

This was 18 years ago bruh, The hints are long gone. To be honest I liked the book, it kept me hooked, once the main characters says fuck it and starts to travel it's interesting.

>>15529107

Sadly you can't, which is an annoying omission given how little interaction most of the npcs actually have outside of when you're resting at the inn/bases. I'd much rather of had the ability to make several characters and play with different builds.

Age of Decadence is pretty neat but you need the double XP mod or you'll play as a one trick pony using all the time one single skill to solve all problems since the devs bought the muh specialists meme.

>>15529132

About the only thing Wheel of Time has going for is that the protagonist gets himself a harem, but just like every awful harem anime not only is he a fuckwit that shouldn't be allowed to breed, but this being Western fiction all the women are shrill harpies that never get put in their place.

>>15524935

Your 2H fighter for some reason started with 19 str instead of 20 and somehow he has 14 charisma. Seriously, dump the charisma and int into 7 each and boost the worthwhile stats instead. Fighters don't need that shit. Intimidate is seriously overrated if that's why you have cha and even with 7 int you will still have 3 skills/lvl. Leave the skills to the skillmonkey (Rogue)

Your Barbarian somehow does not have Power Attack because apparently you picked Improved Initiative instead…

Your Rogue has unnecessarily high int (What, 9 skills per level weren't enough? He needed 12?) and extremely bad str. He also has 13 con when he should really have at least 14. I'm personally partial to going high str and high dex on rogues so I can avoid bothering with bullshit like weapon finesse and agile weapons and spend those feats on better shit. I'd sooner play a Rogue with 20 str and 16 dex myself so it can actually hit shit.

Your cleric should have 20 wis, not fucking 16. Spellcasters get higher DCs and bonus spells from high attribute scores, you know. You always put their spellcasting stat at 20 (unless you can throw it even higher). Also Charisma is widely seen as a dump stat on Clerics. You fell for the channeling trap. Channeling is a fucking waste of time. Spells >>> channeling. Ditch the charisma (most Clerics take it to down to 7 cha or 5 if you're a dwarf) and invest in more valuable stats (like starting with 20 wis and boosting dex and con some more). Also destruction domain sucks donkey balls. Generally one of the best domains is the animal domain for the animal companion. Trickery and Travel are not bad picks either. There's more options but I cba going through all of 'em. In general you want domains that have spells clerics normally don't get instead of domains that give spells you do get.

Your Wizard has Point-Blank Shot (wtf??) and Spell Focus (Evocation) (noob alert). Blasting is among the worst uses of a Wizard's spells. Good spellcaster players know to debuff enemies into the ground instead of using them as a damage dealer. Find the spells that make enemies useless and focus on those. To tell the truth, Evocation is a popular choice for opposition school when you go specialist Wizard.

>You need the double XP mod or you'll play as a one trick pony using all the time one single skill to solve all problems since the devs bought the muh specialists meme.

No you don't, son. You just need to git gud, not activate cheatcodes. You can go hybrid if you want. It's perfectly doable. You just gotta rack up sidequests and bonus SP opportunities. Hybrids can pick up more SP than specialists because they have a much wider array of sidequests and opportunities available to them. If you do it right you can make full-on do-everything builds in AoD. It's just that playing a hybrid is a more difficult run than playing a specialist since you'll want to keep a careful eye out on how you spend and accumulate those SP and trainings.

Source: I like to play turbo-hybrid do-everything characters in AoD.

>git gud

If you go for anything specialist in this game you don't need to git gud, you just need to braindeadly push the same dialogue option all the time or just specialize in combat and solve everything through bloodshed. Let me spell it for you: the game is not hard at all if you play as intended, by monkey specialization.

Now, assuming you are not some sad human parody, real life NPC, and you want to actually extract fun from the game, you'll realize how idiotic is what you just said.

>>15531708

I thought that the main character's friends were cool too, but they were constantly neglected in favor of his whiny ass, the incredibly boring women characters, and war garbage that ended up just becoming a bunch of meaningless numbers. My breaking point was when the wolf guy, who was my favorite character before I gave up on the series, just didn't show up for a whole fucking book. Not once did we even check up on what he was doing. Seriously, handle your characters better.

>>15529132

Brandon Sanderson is better than Robert Jordan at writing fights/battles, but Jordan is better at writing characters. young Siuan Sanche is best girl

>>15531849

Fantasy peaked with Tolkien because everyone else is either a juvenile retard with no grasp of history, an edgelord making everything grim and depressing, and the protagonist is always a whiny nobody that gets everything handed to him.

It's kind of sad that the hacks writing 40k books have a better grasp of how to balance the grimdark (with the Imperium giving a big middle finger to the whole galaxy while going down fighting) than every fantasy author ever.

>>15531871

Rand is an edgy shit so far up his own ass that he shouldn't be allowed to run a tavern, let alone lands the side of several nations, Perrin just wants to be left alone in a forge and for things to be the way they were and Mat just want sum fug and no responsibility. The characters aren't badly written, they're archetypes that many men never break out of, by the end of the books all three have grown up, somewhat at least.

>>15531805

Personally I have lots of fun playing hybrids in AoD. I agree that specialists are easy. That's why people recommend playing specialist to first-timers. However, you are not obligated to specialize. You don't need a double XP cheat either to make that work. You are just bad at the game. You can make regular hybrids just fine. And you can even make extreme hybrids if you are fucking good at it.

Hell, praetors are natural hybrids in AoD. Dude, you can hybrid everything. You can even play an Imperial Guard with diplomacy skills and get loads of actual opportunities to use them as an IG. You're just bad at the game if you need a double SP cheat to make your hybrids work.

Learn to fucking sidequest, explore, and grab trainings if you want the skill points to do multiple things.

Just installed the patches, levelled to 3, bought a bag of holding and some new weapons, shit seems a little less insane now.

>>15531633

Octavia and Linz if you're into loli who look like Richard Hammond but all you really see if their profile pics so if you're looking for something to jerk off too you're best off elsewhere.

They're still fucking boring. I had more fun reading about Jorg and his edgelord escapades in Prince of Thorns than all the Wheel of Time books combined, mostly because Jorg isn't a bitch and actually plots shit and acts, instead of constantly reacting to what the antagonists are doing.

I gave up on Wheel of Time because it made me want to slit my wrists, that's how fucking boring and banal the whole plot was. Small blessings is that it petered out before fantasy got popular (and it features polygamy) so there's a very small chance it will ever get a TV/movie adaptation.

>>15531905

Look you fucking moron, only way "hybrids can work" is if you go in dry and replay the game 15 times or read the whole wiki and plan the SP distribution beforehand accordingly, but using your autism superpower (not chan autism, real autism) to do that prevents thing from being fun for normal people. And before you sperg on let me tell you that yes, I could do that but I wont because it does not require any ability except the ability to be a moron because it is not "getting gud", it's plain idiotic.

>>15531927

No dude, that kind of extreme planning is only for when you want to go do fucking extreme do-everything builds, which is what you do after you've done your regular runs and your hybrid runs and are itching for bigger challenges.

For ordinary hybrids, exploring, sidequesting, and accumulating trainings is good enough. If you have 7 Cha (the magic numba) you can get a lot of training from a lot of people. Even without 7 cha there are a lot of training opportunities. Also Lore is profitable in terms of SP, which shouldn't surprise you since investigating old shit is kinda a big theme in the game. And even without training and shit you can still hybrid up an extra skill or perhaps two to do different things from a pure specialist. A key to combat hybrids is figuring out how to win more fights with fewer SP invested into combat skills and then spending those SP they saved on other shit they want to do. Like, try using shit like aimed strikes, positioning, consumables, etc.

tl;dr: You are a fucking scrub. Git gud.

>>15532012

>I'm not going to call what you'd pick shit, or call you a faggot for picking it.

Honest to God I have nothing to recommend. It's all fucking garbage. It should tell you something when a dumpster fire like A Song of Ice and Fire is the best the genre has produced in decades.

If you're really desperate try Prince of Thorns, it's mercifully short and Jorg isn't a complete waste of oxygen. On the other hand, you could try and read the Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion and Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne by Christ Wraight. Both are 40k stories that take place on Terra and focus almost exclusively on the Custodes, the Golden Throne and the Emperor and take place right around the Fall of Cadia, so important shit is happening and the overall plot of Warhammer is moving forward, plus, unlike that subversive kike ADB Wraight has a knack for writing likeable characters and not making the Emperor out to be a complete imbecile.

>But how goods the book though?????

I found it unbearably boring, the protagonist is an effeminate Gary Stu and whines endlessly.

>>15532074

I'll give them a look but the 40k books sound right up my alley, I've read the first 3 in the horus heresy and they were decent, thanks.

>>15532088

>I've read the first 3 in the horus heresy and they were decent

Much like with long running comics as the plot goes on it steadily starts going more and more shit. Sadly, since they all share the same overarching narrative you have to wade through the shit books to be able to understand what is going on in later titles. Then again, it's not like the authors are pretending it's high brow literature, but I prefer 40k over 30k since it's less about "muh daddy issues" and more "burn the fucking heretic".

>>15531905

I did vanilla Dungeon Rats, retard. I'm probably leaps and bounds better than you. The difference is DR has actually well thought SP allocations while AoD does not if you want fun. The fact alone that you are telling me to git gud at AoD tells everything. You probably think you are hot shit because you can tie your shoelaces, huh?

tl;dr: retard.

Too many cocksuckers ITT, if this is the type of people this game attracts then I already know it's shit.

Stop being so asspained. This ain't a dick-measuring contest. You have no answers to any of the shit I pointed out other than bitching and moaning again.

I tell you to git gud because you were bitching and moaning about the lack of SP when in reality hybriding is perfectly manageable. And while Dungeon Rats strongly encourages maxing the shit out of combat skills (because they are the only skills you get in DR) if you want to hybrid in AoD it's better to figure out how to win combat with fewer skillpoints invested in that shit and use those SP so your character can do other shit than just fight. There are also tons of ways to get extra SP in AoD if you git gud. Which brings me to the fucking point: You don't need a double SP cheat. You are just bad.

i ended up with tank girl barb girl and dead elf and im a fighter too. everything is kicking my ass should i restart as a caster or something?

>>15532245

>>15532264

Depending on difficulty even arcane casters won't help much.

Everything set to Normal PLUS Enemies to "slightly less powerful" is the closest you can get to PF rules.

>>15532218

Look retard, I played my first AoD maximizing SP gains and it wasn't fun, no RP posibilities there since you are just a minmax whore. Yes, sorry to break it to you but the think you take so much pride on is trivial and boring for other people. I have humored you enough, should just have filtered you from the start like all the retarded torposters but I'll fix that now.

PS: retard.

>>15532277

You just have to do quests, faggot.

>>15532305

Thanks for untoring yourself so I can filter your real ID, retard.

>>15532315

>filtering people that trigger you on a mongolian cave painting board.

While I side with you on the argument, you sound like a redditor.

>>15532264

>>15532269

I didnt know some of the companions would fuck off and leave me with a bunch of melee so i guess ill run a cleric or something to balance it out

>>15532245

Pathfinder is called Caster Edition for a reason, mate. Yes, you're fundamentally fucking crippled without a spellcaster in the crew.

>>15532277

Dude. From the start, I've only said that you can play effective hybrids without cheating, and if you need to cheat, you are bad. Somehow you decided that must mean I am bragging about my skill level. I have no idea how the fuck you are this insecure but it's ridiculous.

And just to recap: Autistic min-maxing is only necessary if you are going ridiculously far in developing bullshit builds that try to do fucking everything (which is possible). If you just want to hybrid, it is perfectly doable if you're smart about it. Just remember that hybriding is more about having 1 or 2 skills on the side that are high enough to be good than having 3-4 skills that are low enough to be unusable.

Evidently getting corrected like this deeply offends you somehow.

>>15532323

You gonna filter me too, bitch?

>>15532323

I know. I could simply stop replying to him but the idea is to make my disdain more infuriating for him.

>>15532340

Keep it up, boy

>>15532340

lol

I find that shit legit hilarious. Kid, I think you're the only one here who measures his self-worth by what other people say. How old are you, anyway? You sound like you're still in puberty.

>>15532340

Fuck you

>>15529107

You can, but you have to pay for custom party members since you have to recruit them as mercenaries. You don't get to start with a custom party, though, and it will cost you gold to recruit custom party members.

>>15529389

So what did your twin sister say when you talked to her about it?

Also, obligatory:

>twin sister recommends you read incest porn novel

>>15532376

Dude, are you seriously pretending to be me now? Not only is there a pretty obvious disconnect between your obvious attempt at shitstirring about how too many people liking the game being a sign that you should avoid it (grats on being a hipster, btw) and my in-depth analysis of a guy's party above, but if you wanted to do that you should've just torposted. Ever since Mark removed names and shit torposters can't hash in case someone impersonates you so it's easy as fuck to pretend to be someone else.

Like, if you wanted to pretend to be me, there's an easier way of going about it.

>>15531728

PBS (and more importantly precise shot which requires it) and other ranged feats do work on ranged attack rolls. Not totally retarded in an environment with limited feat options.

>>15532394

I don't know what you're talking about. You're a paranoid fucking schizo who thinks every anon out there is pretending to be you. Delusions of grandeur? Plain old insanity? I don't know the answer I bet you don't either, because you're not well. Something in your head has gone wrong. You stupid fucking bitch. I'd Roddy Piper the shit out of you. As soon as the bell rings, immediate nut shot. Just constant nut shots like I'm spamming the nut shot button. You want to box, you Pearl Jam entrance music using action hero? Eye pokes everywhere. So many eye pokes that a child version of Rousimar Palhares has his jaw on the floor as the cast of NYPD Blue dusts my fingerprints off of your iris. As soon as he tries to grapple. Boom, welcome to my incredibly greased body that feels like trying to grab soap off of a state pen shower floor. I'd have so much grease on my body that the lighting fixtures would give me 2nd degree burns as I slide to the ring like Silver Surfer, comic book verson. I'd be so hard to get a hold of that my opponent would think I'm Jimmy Hoffa's body. Going for your stupid sumo palm strikes? Say goodbye to your knee caps as I dropkick them in like a SWAT member busting down a door, wooden frame still intact, unsuspecting drug dealer sprinting through the back door. Want to over power me, DJ Jazzy Jeff? Look out for my newly cycled off slab of meat body with more holes in my ass than Interstellar has in it's plot. I'd lift you up like you're Simba in a VHS release of Lion King and slam you down like a pog on a schoolyard playground, chalk outline around your gi. I'd have so many drugs running through me that the CIA wouldn't know whether to open up an X-men branch or sell me to the Rolling Stones so they could snort me.

I'd last at least 3 minutes. No doubt in my mind.

>>15532414

Yeah that's definitely porn for women. Still, how the hell did the inevitable conversation about what you thought of the book go down?

>>15532434

Alright, nevermind.

>>15532442

I frankly don't remember, I was a sheltered autist back then so I might not even have talked about it. I'll ask her but I doubt she remember too. There are really not enough good fantasy novels set in the Renaissance. I enjoyed the trilogy. Then after that I started Wheel of Time.

>>15532442

>nevermine

Don't just fucking nevermine me you piece of shit. Maybe you're the one following me around and copying me. That's why you're on TOR so people can't tell that your ID is theirs.

>>15532005

Black Company

Start with the first three books. The latter 6 kind of drag on, but they are good enough if you enjoy the series.

I've heard good things about The Malazan Books of the Dead series, but I haven't gotten more than halfway through to the first book so take with a grain of salt.

Oh yeah, I really recommend Black Company. I had a blast reading it.

>>15532456

Yeah I can't think of any good Renaissance period fantasy novels myself. Hell, can't even think of bad ones. Maybe try fishing for recommendations from >>>/lit/.

>>15532431

Yes, but it's still a damn bad pick. Is he doing scorching ray build or shit that he needs precise shot for his spells? Blaster caster is not a good way of doing things. It's generally acknowledged to be the worst way to play a Wizard. Although there are ways of cheesing out the damage to make it a lethal build, but generally it is acknowledged among good players that you should leave the fighting to the fighters while your Wizard uses magic to debuff enemies, reshape the battlefield to the party's advantage, and provide buffs to allies. There's also summoning minions and shit.

>>15532468

Shit, you're on to me.

>>15532479

Fun fact, AoD actually starts with a quote from The Black Company:

>"That kind of thing is common around here. Conspiracies and assassinations and naked power-grabs. All the fun of decadence." -Glen Cook, The Black Company

Safe to say the makers were fans.

The troll king was fucking hard. I died about 5 times to him, and what finally won me the battle was confusion wasting like 3 rounds for him. He essentially could not miss my 31 AC fighter and did 2d6+23 damage. My party was 7th level but barely squeaked by.

>>15532005

How about Fantasy that's also decent smut?

Amazon's Pledge series by Sarah Hawke. Decent world building, fast paced action, neat smut. Wizard mc adventures in company of 2 lethal ladies.

Way less smutty than above, but more action packed - Tamer: King of Dinosaurs by Michael-Scott Earle. normalfag gets dumped into Jurassic World experiment, has to survive with 3 monster girls. Starts off really… beta, but gets some spine hammered into him by the shit he faces.

There is also some good works to be found for free on Royal Road - lot of authors keeping up long running series there, with a decent tagging system to help with searches.

>>15531782

>Gothic 3

>CRPG

Nigger what?

>>15532658

can you purge the faggot?

>>15533004

Sadly no as far as I know, but you can "accidentally" cast 10 fireballs on him and never resurrect his sorry cuck ass.

>>15529719

Update:

The problem is with the "Bloodline: Arcana" bloodline feature. Bog standard sorcerer with the arcane bloodline has this problem as well as eldritch scion with the same bloodline, but a sage sorcerer is exempt from it because the archetype replaces it with Arcane Bolt. I'm willing to bet it has something to do with the "does not stack with itself" or the "does not work on heightened spells" language.

>>15533261

Diversity hire at work!

>>15533287

More than likely.

I like how one of the 'fixes' in their patch notes was putting a 'Warning this games takes fucking ages to load' sign on the opening.

>>15533004

I just dumped him in some busywork role in the town and take out a different group, thankfully you can ignore the insufferable/useless ones and still have them be 'some' use.

Dead Inquisitor woman is semi useful as a trap tester/healer. Once equipped with a heavy flail Harrim isn't too bad and Amiri, while annoying, is useful for bursting people, they're ok as a front row. With a eldrich scoundrel and magus merc employed for the back I've got mostly evil/neutral chaotics in play while the twee libfags are in town making me look nice to the plebs.

>>15533309

>Amiri

Not that bitch again.

I would be upset with how my party is basically silent due to them all being mercs if the alternative wasn't both having insufferable cunts replacing the silence as well as them being flat out worse than mercs gameplay wise. If only mercs could serve you in the kingdom part.

>In throne room

>Go to kingdom view

>Realize I need to go to the tavern for a quest

>I now have to wait for the loading screen, close it and wait for the throne room to load, walk out of your manor into the city square (loading screen), and then go to the tavern (loading screen). Fuck.

>>15525211

>>15533667

Is this storage bound loading that can be eliminated using fast SSDs, or something more retarded that pegs CPU/RAM?

>>15533261

>but a sage sorcerer is exempt

Whoo score one for the virgin INT sorcerers over the chad CHA sorcerers

>>15533344

At least it's not the fighter chick who literally decided to not become a paladin (after apparently already setting her stat array for it) because they were just too damn happy, cheerful, and merciful for her tastes

I'll make a new thread when this hits page 10.

Fuck Linzi by the way.

>>15533748

>she steals money from the treasury, buys a printing press with it, and when I demand she return the stolen funds (since there's no option to imprison or execute her) the game tells me I failed the quest

Do you need to keep a party slot open for NPCs or anything? Asking because I need to figure out if I'm preparing 4 or 5 mercenaries before I start.

>>15532693

>Imagine the worst thing one person can do to another, and multiply it tenfold. That's what happened to me nearly every day in slavery.

She was tortured and then killed 10 times a day in slavery?

If the boar quest is any indication, the game has the npc show up and force their way into the party regardless. And so far, the hafling bard and zombie elf are the only npcs I've seen ever actually make comments during the main questline.

>>15533818

No, I took on a quest NPC once and it gave me a party shuffling UI to replace one of mine with him.

6 druids w/leopards y/n?

They've taken to spamming the game with a slew of fake reviews after all the negative buzz. Truly pathetic.

>>15534375

proofs?

>>15531782

>They've

Who are "they"? And what negative buzz?

>>15524072

Her class gives her a higher dex mod to armor due to her training. Read her class features.

>>15534413

Bugs and idiotic instant gameovers for doing the story missions in the wrong order, probably.

>>15529848

How isn't it? It's a role playing game on a computer. ARPG falls under the banner of CRPG too. CRPG isn't limited to RTWP and turn based.

>>15534719

>Another retard claiming a perfectly literal definition

I'm going to go play my favorite RPG, Ratchet and Clank.

>>15534729

But that's not a role playing game. If the definition of computer role playing game was limited to what original CRPGs were in the 80s then the only true RPGs are blobbers and Ultima.

>>15534256

There is an entire Adventure Path about The King in Yellow, so I assume so.

When does the next major quest show up after killing the troll king and kobold?

>>15534805

I'm so sorry.

>>15534816

Good god, it's already fucking winter now.

>>15534828

Winter seems to be a color overlay. There's still lillypads in ponds, kek

>level 1 merc is 500g

>level 2 merc is 2000g

oh

okay

>>15534843

You will their special characters, goy!

>>15533731

Is this the same one that decides to go with the creepy, evil gnome over you, just because you weren't ultra-polite when explanign that raiding hte armory was necessary? Even though you helped her save other guards from teh fire, and the gnome openly complaning about it?

>>15534916

>>15534916

>>15534916

New thread

>>15534910

Yes.

>>15534828

Nvm, hunting chapter started just now, fucking finally.

>>15533373

recently played Bard's Tale IV and they linked a bunch of dialogue to the voice selections. So even in an all merc party there is some constant banter - and there is even lasting sequences

(like the rowdy female making the shy one in my party cry once and than giving her a handerchief… and than later sperging out about the fun of slaughter and the shy one returning the handkerchief when she notices spittle on her face)

I wonder why Pathfinder team didn't do the same. Would cut down on any annoyance some players have with their stock npcs
