Commander's Pack seems like it's a lot of extra cash for not much if you're not feeling the soundtrack/artbook. Anyone feel like those extras plus a handful of additional items that'll probably be out-powered after 10 hours are worth the extra $20 or so?

Also if you just want to give owlcat more money? Overall pfkm is really fuckin good, particularly in their willingness to push past their ropey start.

I heard some stuff about mythic paths influencing companion and story interactions to a pretty big degree, beyond the very advertised piss-off-everybody ones like Lich and Swarm. I was thinking of trying to make some kind of Angel Oracle-Mystic Theurge gish build, but what I've read/seen of the Angel unique dialogue and choices so far makes the path seem pretty cookie-cutter. Which is to be expected from Angel, yeah, but now I'm wondering if the other non-Lich/Swarm paths give entertaining or interesting-enough story impacts to be better for a first playthrough? Stuff like, apparently, a very different romance path with Sosiel if you go Demon -- anything else unique or transformative like that?

I still haven't finished Kingmaker but I'm way more excited about the content in Righteous... *sigh* Here we go. I pre-ordered thinking I'd still wait a while before getting into the polished version but now I'm thinking I push through the last Act or whatever I've got left in Kingmaker and then jump directly into this.

It usually takes me a long time to play through big CRPGs, and I've only played untilcapturing Drezen in the beta once, so Owlcat will have quite some time to fix/patch the later parts of the campaign before I will get to those.

The way I'm justifying it to myself is that this may be one of the few RPGs I play through multiple times as I love the Mythic power fantasies this one encourages and really can't justify going Trickster until a second playthrough.

The "auto-win" for Crusade mode is going to go a huge way to add re-playability to the game if it's anything like Kingmaker. Kingdom management felt like it took forever and you're constantly dragging out parts of the game having to do all the kingdom specific stuff.

you can straight up turn crusade mode off they said, assuming that's what you mean by auto-win I'll try it but yeah it'll probably get tedious quickly

So... in Kingmaker, what do you do when you're deep within enemy lines without camping supplies? I charmed my way into the lair with talky-talky but now find that if I want to leave the ruins to go get more supplies, I have to fight my way out of a mass of trolls and, well, I don't got the resources to do that. Seems I'm SOL on this save if I try to press forward as I'm just out of healing supplies in general. Is there another route to pulling things together that I'm missing? Not being able to camp and regain spell slots seems like it's pretty much a death sentence...

If there is no autosave from when you entered the trollbold area, you can cheat in camping supplies, I guess. I admit I am surprised you entered the enemy stronghold without being fully rested

Ah, so you went for the negotiations route, went deeper into the fortress and then realized there is a huge melee outside. Gotcha. Though you are probably a level below than most people. Usually you are lv 7 when entering and can hit lv8 when you are done with Trollbold.

I've decided on either bard or skald for my first playthrough. Has anyone experience with skalds in the beta? How are they compared to bard, fun, strong? I definitely want to go melee but inspire rage doesn't look as strong as bard song and there doesn't seem to be any other major difference, bar medium armour prof for skald.

I haven't played the WotR beta at all, but from tabletop experience, Skald can be really good if you have other party members swinging two-handed weapons to get the most out of Inspired Rage. It does make them less flexible than Bards, but the heavier armour and ability to hand out rage powers gives them a solid niche.

sebmojo posted:What's the idea with enlarge? It often gets recommended but doesn't seem that powerful, is it a big damage boost? Size strength bonuses stack for chance to hit and damage with most other buffs. And it's a lv1 spell, so it's easy to utilize from the get go (compared to getting sacred or profane bonuses) and it will end up having a pretty large duration relatively soon.

sebmojo posted:What's the idea with enlarge? It often gets recommended but doesn't seem that powerful, is it a big damage boost? The damage boost is, on average, about +3.5 to damage (+1 from strength, and, if you’re using weapons that do a D8 or better +2.5 from going up one die size on your weapon.) The big advantage to vanilla enlarge is Reach. Doubling the melee range of your squishier front liners allows them to attack from behind, rather than alongside, the meat shield, and allows them to threaten twice as many enemies, which lets you more reliably get all those flanking sneak attacks set up. Legendary Proportions, which is what you ought to use closer to end game, is Enlarge+++ and is just straight up loving broken. It lasts about 10x as long as Enlarge. Provides +6 strength rather than + 2 (for +3 each to hit and damage), adds a con bonus, a natural armor bonus, DR 10/Adamantine, unlike Enlarge there’s no Dex penalty either, and your weapon damage dice go up two sizes rather than one; and that second increase is usually just “add an entire extra damage die” And all of these (except the natural armor) will actually stack with all of your gear and other class based poo poo typically, unlike a lot of other buffs. But going back to Englarge at low levels. Think about how excited you’d be to get +6 Strength. That’s kind of what you’re giving your damage dealers with Enlarge. (It’s not exactly like 6 strength, because it’s damage rolls only not attack rolls, and there’s a small Dex penalty. But it’s a trade I’d make every day with low level fighters) Chevy Slyme fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Aug 29, 2021 |

I wonder if Legendary Proportions stacks with the Gold Dragon size boost. Screw finding the most optimal build, I want to know if I can have a character so big they don't even fit on screen anymore.
