Pathfinder

too bad pathfinder ruleset sucks balls

It's mostly good aside from gimped shapeshifting.

If you let him go, does he keep fucking with you later in the game? I was pretty disappointed he wasn't a recurrent rival through the rest of the game if you killed him there.

i keep seeing onionss shilling the TB mod for this game

It's surprisingly well-made.

If you let him go and choose the Chaotic option he eventually joins you very late game in kobold form as a level 20 sorcerer

You're fucking with me. This is some Mew under the truck shit.

Right?

You only get stat enhancements and not the creature's stats coupled with your shit BAB which is a huge fucking no.
On top of that the game lacks Powerful Shape

Hey anons, literally building my character right now
what are some tips you'd give a complete beginner?

>what are some tips you'd give a complete beginner?
>i was thinking on making a mage
Make sylvan or arcane sorcerer. Go read some guides about what spells to pick. Pick smilodon as a pet. You just won the game.

>Go read some guides
I was looking for something more general in terms of tips
want to figure the game out for myself

Someone spoon feed me a link to pirate it. Or dolphin porn.

Was this a deliberate nerf? Shapeshifting druids used to be the most broken class in D&D 3d edition.

You're going to spend like 3 hours in the character creator. That's not advice or a recommendation or anything, that's just what'= is going to happen if you're a total beginner.

Look at all the tooltips and hover over EVERYTHING. All the stats, all the numbers, all the skills and all the classes.

Then by all means just roll a character you want and respec later, respec will be available like an hour into the game.

It's arguably the best take of Pathfinder in video game form. Unfortunately, it suffers from the typical "Tabletop in Video Game" issues, like stripping out half the spells, making everything more combat oriented, and really just dumbing it down in general.

And its Kingdom Management section can be pretty shit at times if you don't know how to work it.

And it suffers from classic crpg "If you fuck up something early, you'd better reload rather than live with your mistake."

But other than those, it's pretty good and I recommend it.

Ño

I'm pretty sure that yes, it was.

Eldritch Arcana somehow fixes spell selection and mechanics and there's a few other mods to disable annoying pnp bullshit.

good to know, thanks

I'd like to see CRPG's move away from quick saving and loading.

Even with that it's still miles better than whatever other dnd crpg incarnation, especially nwn where fuck if you wanted to shapeshift and weren't a druid
>stat enhancements instead of replaces
And it makes sense since it's retarded going from 8 STR to 31 STR with polymorph

> coupled with your shit BAB which is a huge fucking no.
Except you actually gain multiple attacks, in NWN you also retained your bab so good luck if you weren't a druid. Even then you still gain more attacks while shapeshifted in Kingmaker even as a medium bab class.
You can go from 1 wizard attack to 5
Also you can go Magus or EK and they have far better bab, EK only loses 1 CL, or Trickster and get +10d6 sneak on those 5 attacks each

>And it makes sense since it's retarded going from 8 STR to 31 STR with polymorph
I have a harder time imaginining a giant dragon with 15 STR

Out of all the games of the recent years it's probably the closest to Baldur's Gate.
It's by no means without flaws but if you enjoy CRPGs you should definitely play it.

i already bought the base game. do i have to buy all the DLC too?

The Tieflings are worth it, the other one probably not.

No. The only DLC that effects the main game is the one with the new companion, class and race. Everything else is standalone side content.

Oh, of course. I already use Eldritch Arcana. It makes my Sorcerer build even better.

I'm still sad that Kingmaker's Modding community is on the small side, though. I'd love to see more content mods like it or Call of the Wild.

>Everything else is standalone side content.
You can revisit Varnhold's Lot big dungeon in the main story and also get unique gear from it.
There's also a main campaign specific version oif the infinite roguelike dungeon along with new gea.
