Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Development Updates - Kickstarter complete! (Official turn-based support!)
- Thread starter Anno
- Start date
Haven't seen a mongrelman since 2E I think?
But I agree, the art/design for him is... not great.
Anyway, I can't tell you how hard I'm going to push for Ratfolk to win the post-KS poll. My girlfriend's favorite Pathfinder character is a Ratfolk witch and letting her play a ratfolk in the game would let me easily convince her to play it.

To be fair we don't know what the artist's brief was. If they were specifically requested to make a character that had that 50/50 body split, then it's not really on them.
Pathfinder Skalds are basically Bards with better combat abilities, including a song that imparts a lesser version of Barbarian rage on the entire party. They lose some of the flexibility of the Bard, but they still have all of its spellcasting. Definitely one of my favorite hybrid classes from the ACG.
They also have knowledge stuff and cast any spell from any class a few times per day.
Okay.
That's Octavia from the last game, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, a Rogue/Wizard. Artist was given a description, made rough drafts and showed it to the client, got told any alterations that needed to be made, continued on, showed client, continued on. How the character came out is a small part artistic license and a large part client desire.

Ill be the dissenter and say that I think he looks pretty cool. Aren't these characters mostly pre-defined by Paizo anyway? Or is this one not a part of the adventure module?
Fextralife's interview with Owlcat's Creative Director Alexander Mishulin:
The video includes some pre-alpha footage of WotR's combat, starting at 2:21 mark.

I've been listening to a lot of Tyr lately. So when I saw the Skald class I was reminded of something similar with the Viking / Nordic Metal.
Guess the game was rigged from the start.
Funnily enough, no one seems to be able to crack the new hidden goal, while the previous ones have been cracked almost instantly on Discord. It seems that Owlcats are messing with us this time.
The font is Intellecta Roman Tall, if anyone wants to give this a try.
(the last word is probably Owlcat, but, other than that, people on Discord don't seem to have any solid ideas)

Well, Skald is a Nordic/Viking thing.

Yep, I'm aware that Skaldic poetry is done in the form of a song. Or at least most of the Icelandic Poems and Faroese Kvæði were handed down verbally as opposed to written into manuscripts.
Edit: Nevermind. Someone in the discord spreading lies.

The Kingmaker Discord is over 6k, but I think the Wrath one is 4.9k at the moment. Could be wrong.
Bit of an aside but I'm convinced they used Evangeline Lilly as a reference for Octavia.

Apologies then. Unfortunately there's a lot of people out there who will mock otherwise good artists based solely on a piece they did on commission where they had only a small amount of artistic license.
Didn't back the Kingmaker kickstarter, but I decided to back this one. I am excited to see how many stretch and social goals this kickstarter will reach.
I've been debating pledging the 43 dollar bid so i can get the original game as well. It's high on my list as I'm currently enjoying Pillars of Eternity and wanted to try it next.
I can't say I'm too fussed about that goal, but I know some people love stuff like thatWow, Discord has finally cracked the hidden goal!
Insult, belittle, diminish? The other person was joking and I take him at his word on that, but the words used mirror the type someone who wasn't joking would use to insult the artist. Sadly I've seen it a ton, as I've been close friends with a number of artists who've taken commissions.
I still have to play/buy the firsr Kingmaker but I backed this project.
My last KS was Wasteland 3 and so far I wasn't disappointed from CRPGs and seeing this one still doing really well despite coming years after the CRPG renaissance it is nice to see.

How is Pathfinder in term of worldbuilding/lore ? It's pretty much one of the most important aspect for RPG for me.
I absolutely love Dragon Age, (recently) Baldur's Gate/Forgotten Realms, Elder Scrolls and Pillars Of Eternity. Divinity series on the other hand I find really weak when it come to worldbuilding/lore (haven't played DOS2 tho).

It does change the experience quite a bit. You can enable and disable it on the fly whenever you want (even in the middle of a battle; though it might sometimes mess with the turn order if you go from RtwP to TB while in battle, but the other way around is always fine), and it's a very well crafted mod. So you're not losing anything by trying it out.
The Pathfinder house setting of Golarian is very much a "fantasy grab bag" sort of thing, even moreso than something like the Forgotten Realms (which it's heavily influenced by.) I haven't delved too deeply into it beyond skimming their first edition setting guide, but Kingmaker's lore is pretty good for the kind of swashbuckling high fantasy tone it's going for. It even takes a page from Pillars of Eternity and lets you mouse over highlighted proper nouns to get a better explanation of what characters are talking about.
To be fair, it wasn't very obvious at all and it did indeed seem like you were just mocking the artist.
Can I get it even though I started playing yesterday ? Or do I need to restart a campaign?
I was honestly quite shocked to see that it's real time battles.
IIRC, you can! After all, it can even be switched on and off on the fly, like I said above.
Awesome! Can you remember the name of the mod or where I can find it?
Here you go:
Thanks :)
There will be some small cameos (there is a social stretch goal for that), but nothing further than that. The main character and all of the companions will be new.
turn based mod made this game from 7/10 into 10/10 for me. Mostly because i felt the combat was too frantic and easy to lose track of abilities. The mod is easy to use and works surprisingly well.
My hope is that Owlcat thinks about including turn-based combat into the next game as an option.

To expand on what ArbitraryWater said, the Pathfinder setting is pretty broad and Kingmaker did a pretty good job with it. You personally interacted with areas that were your direct neighbors through envoys or actually visiting. Nations that were further away but still regionally close were interacted with during the various kingdom events and allowed you to mouse over certain terms and names to get an idea of what they were. I posted a map of the setting on page 3 of this thread and gave a description of the locations immediately adjacent to where Wrath of the Righteous will take place. I expect crusade events will have you interact with the most militarily powerful nations on the continent as the demonic threat becomes apparent and the Fifth Crusade gains momentum. Places like Cheliax, Andoran, Taldor, and more.
Here's a more jokey map of the setting that is still kinda accurate.
Wrath is set in "Really Fucked."
Nice ! Between this (I love when RPG only sets in small part of the world), the kingdom management (someone mentioned PK in Suikoden thread lol), Inon Zur as the composer and cheap price point, will definitely try Kingmaker once I cleared my backlog a bit.
Just picked up Kingmaker again with this mod and it's so good. Disable it for the trash mobs, enable it for the more involved fights. Phenomenal.
