The issue is that respec bug was affecting the mechanics so deeply, that we were not able to guarantee that your game will manage to repair itself even after the fix is deployed. I'm of course not naive to believe Owlcat devs were reading Kingmaker topic here on these very forums, but my main gripes I had with Kingmaker are (so far) non existent in WoTR. Please notice that they only expanded the parts of the game where Kingmaker shone, like the overall gameplay mechanics, NPCs, but completely changed the parts that was not working (the plot is engaging from the start, locations are great, making you want to look every nook and cranny. They got it, and they took this critique to heart. What Owlcat needed is the solid, reasonable critique of game elements that was the weakest parts of the game. Unfortunately, it was lacking in the areas that were important for me. I didn't expect Pathfinder Kingmaker to be a perfect game. The way to judge Owlcat is to focus on their sincerity, passion, and motivation to do the best job that they can, both before a game's release and especially after release. And if one looks at P:Km that way, then one has to be that much more impressed that Owlcat did as well as they did with their first game. Owlcat needed to do P:Km in order to gain the experience to make truly good games. How can we expect a brand-new studio, with zero experience making a video game, and literally having only a handful of devs (at that time) make a great game let alone a perfect game? It's quite unreasonable. What and are saying is exactly what I've been saying to critics of P:Km. I think they needed to make it exactly how it was made, so they could learn from its flaws and make a WoTR the way it was made. This exactly the game I hoped Kingmaker would be. I hope devs will fix it (if it's really an issue).Īll in all, I'm having a blast. I heard the tactical part of the game (crusade) is awfully imbalanced at the moment, but I'm not there yet, so cannot judge myself. I think only PoE tried to remedy that, but unfortunately since I wasn't invested in that setting, I was not necessarily interested to read item lore too. I miss it dearly, I was spoiled by BG/IWD. But that's OK, it's not something that bother me too much.īasically the only thing, so far, I wish they'd improved, is the lack of lore descriptions of items. Most of them are cool from the gameplay point of view, but some were made just to add more options rather than add flavour. I wish subclasses are more tied to the actual lore. I couldn't decide what kind of character I want to play. Character development - I'm literally having a headache here. I'm still basically in the first city, but I already see location design is much, MUCH better. Locations and Lore - Finally! Owlcat learned their lessons, and they learned it flawlessly.
Their stats and classes are diverse, their stories are believable, and I'm very interested how they will be developed later.Ĥ. Companions - I always considered companions the strongest point of Kingmaker, but in WoTR they are even more awesome. Most of the fights I go through in RTwP, but some are better to play on TBģ. In WoTR I'm playing on Daring, and although some fights require to use all the tools I have, I'm able to beat them.
There were of course fights that were painfully long, but that was the price I had to pay to avoid the frustration of being killed frequently.
PATHFINDER WRATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS WINTERSUN MOD
This was the main reason I had to resort to TB mod (there was no ingame TB mod back then available), which made the game manageable for me. Difficulty - I must say, I'm no tactician, and Kingmaker was simply too difficult for me. I love to know who to hate (or fear) from the start. Here, everything is clear from the start (although I'm counting on a plot twist, here). For the long part I was not even sure, who exactly was the main protagonist. One of my major gripes when it comes to P:K, story-wise, was that the plot revealed itself painfully slowly. I don't mind it at all, in fact, I love it!. After investing 20 hours in the game, I must say, Owlcat delivered a true gem this time. My first impressions of Wrath of the Righteous.Īs you all know, I was not happy (mildly speaking) with Pathfinder: Kingmaker and was very hesitant to play WoTR.
