Oh and you, when you'll make a mythical pick, choose Azata.
I went with it due to practical reasons and then…
Jesus Christ.
Some supercute critter is following you everywhere, the dragon companion is like someone dedicated their life to make the cutest dragon possible, areund your character some cute blue "fireflies" are circling and the worst of it, everything you touch in the game, and you will per quests, will blossom in most vibrant colors.
The whole thing looks like Care Bears style only in a fantasy setting, yuck.
It seems to me that what you are dreaming of, it's more an Adventure Game than a RPG. If anything, older cRPG (from the '80 & '90) had far less world-building and story than the more recent ones.
Far, far less. There was more backstory, lore and dialogue scenes in the hour I spent today running around the camp than in entire games of the '80s and '90s.

Nice! That's a good deal of improvements they are pumping out.
As a side note, if you are careless (like myself) then it's possible that you have bonuses and additions left to download.
When I got my gamecode on the "Owlcat website" I assumed that all extra goodies was included with the activation code. Only today, I noticed that they had put up several extra "bonus-codes" that were not present when I got my activation code.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has sold over 250,000 copies - Gamespress
Moscow, Russia, September 10, 2021 — Owlcat Games and META Publishing announced with pride that Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has surpassed 250,000 copies on PC alone during its first week of sales. As well as seeing more than double the number of concurrent players during the first weekend enjoying the game compared to Kingmaker launch! But it’s not just all exciting numbers, players and press alike have given overwhelmingly positive feedback.
“For a long time, we’ve been working extremely hard on making Wrath of the Righteous everything we originally conceived at the start of development and even more after the phenomenal support during the Kickstarter campaign. We wanted this to be a landmark moment for CRPG fans, pushing the genre into new spaces, with mechanics that tried to give players an experience that brings the flexibility and freedom found in Tabletop adventures,” says Creative Director Alexander Mishulin. “We’re glad that players and critics are really feeling that we’ve given them that and even more. We truly are overwhelmed with the response”.
Yeah it's good news news but not great. Now if it sold a few million it would be better news. Also yeah they are behind schedule with the new game announcement.
I'm just basing that off a past short update about their next project.
1. They're not EA
2. The game doesn't sell lootboxes
3. They didn't spend $250M only on marketing like 2K did with GTA5
So what million sold copies are we talking about?
That number in past few years is reserved exclusively for gambling pretending to be a videogame.
Now seriously.
This kind of a game, with complex RPG system, interesting story, epic in scale and fun sideactivity I didn't expect, IMO, deserved to see higher numbers.
I will never understand that majority will rather waste time with Candy Crush. When did everyone's brain die?
I am serious 250,000 is not that great of a number to brag about Joxer.
So unless you make billions selling your game it's nothing revolutionary. Yes for a small indie developer those are great numbers and yes I can't deny being happy for them.
Also I recall reading Pathfinder Kingmaker only sold over a million copies.

Yep all these Isometric old school RPGs don't sell well compared to other RPGs. It's a damn shame. It's also the reason why Obsidian is making PoE an open world RPG.

No not by a long shot. The bar to celebrate is over five million sold the first week. So re-read my post I said I'm happy for them but that is not big boy record sale numbers.
It's also the reason why more publishers don't fund these type of games anymore. Sadly it's a niche market where your lucky to sell a million copies in total. That's based on stats.
I wonder how many table-top Pathfinder players there are?
which is why I LOVE it.
