9h for me. Try camping on the overworld map and see if that's shorter. Otherwise it must be tied to some skill not being high enough.

Oh lawd, thanks. I have no idea why that didn't click for me. I had hit the checkboxes before but for some reason the I II III didn't register with me.
edit: Oh, I see what it is. When you have your mouse over the checkbox, the tooltip pops up over part of the I II III, so I didn't notice them becoming clickable. If I had read the tooltip to the very bottom, I would have... but who does that
Holy shit. I found something I never knew about because this concept didn't exist in Kingmaker. I think I vaguely heard about it during the last beta phase, but I didn't participate in it personally.
All those books you find in the game? Some of them aren't just flavor text. If you read them while they're in your inventory (right click -> info), some grant you minor stat bonuses.
Here's one as an example.
These only appear to apply to the main character, however.
If you sold your books, get them back!

It should not be giving you an AC penalty for having an Int penalty. That's what the "(if any)" means (you don't have an Int bonus, you have an Int penalty). This seems like a bug and is worth reporting (no idea where to do that though, sorry)Is this supposed to be able to apply negative scores?
Because it doesn't read like it, but it does, and it's kind of killing my build
That said, I don't understand what your build is trying to do if you've got 6 Int as a Magus. You literally shouldn't be able to cast spells at that Int (you should need 10 + spell level to cast a spell, so 11 Int minimum to cast a first level spell). I've gotta be missing something here: how's your build make this work? Is this a one-level dip for... something? But like... the best thing to dip Sword Saint for is Canny Defense!
(note: I'm not playing the game, I'm living vicariously through y'all, I just play Pathfinder tabletop. Maybe there's bugs, or maybe Owlcat decided to toss out the Int requirement rule for some reason? I dunno)
Thanks, reported. You can press Alt+B any time in game to report a bug, for anyone else who's reading and playing.
Halfling 2H Finesse Elk Rider
Just taking Sword Saint for the exotic weapon proficiency and Weapon Focus. Dumped STR, INT, and CHA. I could take Cavalier/Gendarme instead and lose out on a feat in exchange for an animal level and full BAB, but I'd rather have the 2 good feats... assuming one doesn't cost me -3 AC between my INT penalty and mutagen.
edit: then again if I take Gendarme, I can get Dazzling Display for free down the line and not have to wait for Shatter Defenses and go Gendarme on the back end instead of Demonslayer... but then I won't get Dreadful Carnage... so maybe I should.... but then....
and this is how my days have been going

Ah, people are finally uploading the full OST to YouTube. I was so fascinated by the OST back during the alpha and beta phases, though this is coming from someone who went into Kingmaker with low expectations and ended up being blown away there too.
WotR has so many battle themes, you basically heard new combat themes every chapter during the beta.
Chapter 3 contains my personal favorite of all of the standard combat themes.

I guess I am 0.5% of the player base to defeat the Water Element in the Maze!
(why is it soo less?)
Edit
I also got one in the Prologue which increased my two handed melee attack by +1 or something.

Custom difficulty disables achievements, right? So could be why for many they don't pop?
It's bugged, if you check at other places you'll see a higher number. Probably some sort of caching issue. I saw the same thing yesterday (on Steam).
The "Tome of Minotaur" book is +1 attack for Glaives specificially IIRC.

Oh really? That sucks, I play normal with disabled auto-level-up for companions, which is kinda stupid...

The default difficulty is one or two below Core so it's probably because of that, since most players are going to stick with that or custom. I beat them but didn't get it since I'm on whatever the default was.
It's what I have seen mentioned few times. They also added flag that if game detect any mods then also all achievements get disabled.
Personally I get mod decision, but having all achievements nuke themselves if you do custom is imo stupid. At minimum story progression / key moment achievements should pop no matter what as they aren't tied to preset difficulties.
I share the sentiment.
Said pretty much the same in the past (not only in this forum).
It's not even just a matter of "difficulty", in general, as much as how many of the encounters in the game seem to be either purposefully designed to make the players miserable or alternatively with a poor understanding of the notion of "gradual introduction".
It's a recurring theme in both the Owlcat titles that stat and level drains or other type of crippling status effects are almost regularly introduced before the player has access to the tools necessary to deal with them (or to protect from them reliably).
And to be clear, we aren't even talking of cases where "It's tough because you were supposed to come back later". Often some of these encounters are a one-time thing you get one chance to deal with or miss entirely (i.e. the Water elemental).
Owlcat also seems to despise the concept of "pacing" and "room to breath". Like, how many "borderline" setups do you want to push inside the same area?
I often described the encounters as "over-tuned" and what I meant with it is that the number, threat level, stats of most enemies is almost comically above what you should be able to handle at any given level.
I'm not saying it's impossible to get by (after all I managed so far), but sometimes you can't help it but get the feeling that you are dealing with the equivalent of a prick DM who's being gratuitously antagonistic with his party and is there just to get his "gotcha moment" against the players rather than to engage and entertain them.
Oh well, ranting aside I'm still loving the game for the most part.
And maybe some of the worst passages in the next hours that I'm thinking about have already been toned down from the beta, too? Who knows.

It is very doable fight at least on Core difficulty.
I buffed Seelah with Barskin (scroll), Bull's Strength (scroll), Potion of Divine Favor, and then used Bless (Scroll) on the whole party and Prayer (scroll) against the elemental. After those buffs and debuffs the elemental rarely could hit Seelah who was tanking. Took couple tries because if he did manage to get a hit in even Seelah dropped quickly.
well that's annoying I read it from the loot menu and didn't get it. I checked with an old save buying the book back from the vendor in the maze. Maybe I'll run across them again above ground. It might 2 handed martial weapons as it doesn't show up with my longspear but can't try it out. There's text saying my PC learned something from it.I guess I am 0.5% of the player base to defeat the Water Element in the Maze!

Oh great, the fight in the Pitaxian Wine Cellar against that bunch of Wights and Cairn Wights wasn't annoying bullshit enough with all that gratuitous level drain without them bugging out with infinite health...
Market Square is crash city. Each time there's some kind of interactive event with an object that leads to either a memory or some kind of character(s) running off, there's a high chance the game will just outright crash. With how many fights are in the area...save often.
For anyone else who experienced this: apparently this is a "known bug" and they are working on it.
Already time to put the game on hold I guess.
I guess I've been lucky. Beside some pathfinding issues and minor graphical glitches no crashes or serious bugs.
Wine Cellar 1st try was shit show but 2nd try and better front liners position and Ember spamming burning hands was easy victory.
I'm playing on Core.

Ok why does a witch with a +3 to dex and a -4 to attack rolls start with Point Blank shot and precise shot as feats when you add her to your party?
So I'm trying to follow the anointed knight build from this link in the OP: https://www.neoseeker.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/builds/Main_Character#Anointed_Knight
If I've understood it correctly I need to start as a Monk and then switch to Paladin at level 2? Is it obvious how to switch? Like is this a decision I make when the level pops, or do I need to go somewhere to do it?

It will be obvious. When you gain a level, a little gold "+" will appear on your character portrait at the bottom of the screen. Clicking it will take you to the level-up menu, where you can choose to take a level in any class for which you qualify (which will be a ton). Pick paladin. Then keep doing it every time you level up.
Being as vague as possible, finished up the defense mission without losing anything. That type of fight isn't really this games strength, but oh well, it's over. One thing I have to say, I'm loving this game like crazy, but my group still feels like something slapped together that I never would have wanted, as far as class composition. The early group in KM was much more defined.
It's always a pain early when all you have is lesser restoration. 😁 Was drained 4 con and 4 dex, each cast of lesser restoration removed 1 point of attribute damage. 🥴
Ember has -4 to weapon attack rolls - spells still benefit from the Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot feats without being penalised.
This. If you use magic with ranged attack rolls those two feats are still a must have.
Oh well, Ability draining is nothing.
Level draining before getting access to proper Restoration (or abilities to defend from it) is where the rage begins.
See previous rant few replies above...
that's what I thought at first but the description convinced me otherwise, PBS mentions being for ranged weapons as does precise shot.
I remember now why I spent so much time reading how stuff works outside of the Kingmaker game.
I had no idea. This counts for any targetted range spell?
Pretty sure I saw a tutorial message on these being important for spellcasters too.
I'm playing a custom difficulty and still getting achievements, although quite a few of them require you to be playing on Core or higher which just isn't going to happen at my skill level. I have both progression achievements (finishing main quests) and feats (save all tavern buildings, etc).
I don't have any mods beyond custom portraits, however. So that bit still could be true.
Those two are def a good thing to have if you have enough feats to fit those in. I think you can argue stuff like spell penetration, spell spec, and metamagic can be more important. Actually unless you're doing a lot of touch spells on enemies, , ( enemies touch AC are always like really low so later on in the game you're not really going to miss those spells at all so a respec is probably good) then I'd argue all those are way more important. If you have a wizard or sorc with precious few feats get those spell penetrations, spell school specs and metamagics going.
Sorry I should add, it's for targeted range spells like ray spells and touch spells. Thing is ray spells are like the goat single target dps so. Those feats are sometimes useful.

I was just checking the achievement list on Steam, ordered by percentage, and I noticed one called Prelate's nemesis about killing the Nabasu demon in the streets of Kenabres at core difficulty or more...
Well, I actually did it (Market, when you fight the necromant shopkeeper the first time) and the achievement didn't unlock.
Is there more than one or is it just bugged.

For gameplay purposes, any spell that requires a ranged touch attack is technically sort of a ranged weapon - you can sneak attack with them, for example.
Ah, I remember being a spellcaster in Kingmaker doing dip in vivisectionist. Those sneak attack ray spells were quite something indeed lol.
Also I don't think rays are counted as ranged touched right? they're just go by your attack roll. So yeah, any spell that goes by attack roll get affected by feats like precise shot. Including bombs from alchemist.
Check the log if anyone isn't sure about the spell. It will say -4 attacking into combat or something like that.
Depends, do you like Divinity because of all that Source and sourcerer bullshit ?
What I did in Kingmaker was lower the difficulty for awhile while trying to learn as much as I could about the systems. You can absolutely learn as you go. When you get more comfortable with more of the systems up the difficulty. Eventually you'll get to core. That is what worked for me at least.
Question about an earlyish game quest (Horus Gwerm's mansion)
I noticed there are a number of hints in his mansion alluding to torture implements, collars, and other unsavory stuff, but it doesn't seem to come up at all once the quest is resolved. There's also the magically locked door on the 2nd floor that still won't open after the quest is done. Did I miss something?
No, but we are all guessing it will be tied to some "shocking" reveal about Cammalia's true nature and her not-suspicious-at-all need to use an amulet to hide her true alignment.
