Kingmaker - E3 Impressions @RPGamer
 
RPGamer took a look at Pathfinder: Kingmaker at E3.

Quote:



My demo took me to a dungeon filled with trolls that had become immune to fire damage. Given that is one of the troll’s primary weaknesses, this is a problem. Maneuvering around the dungeon was easy enough, a ring formed around the party that served as its line of sight. It felt like I was only able to move the party within this range, which did prevent me from allowing my party to travel long distances after I had cleared most of the dungeon out. The characters I was given were more powerful than they would have been otherwise so combat was no problem. That is until I made a rookie mistake and spent all my resources fighting a troll and not taking care of the mage backing it up. Yes, I wiped with an overpowered party. My only defense is I’m no good at real-time with pause.

Thanks Purpleblob!

More information.

Looks very old school, that cozy feel, even if nothing we haven't seen done before. This could reinvigorate our codexian brothers and err, brothers, and remind us all of a time when our spirits were young and hopeful and milk flowed along with honey.
What I don't like is this, sim/building part, rpgs never do this well.

Sadly, the Codex seems to live in the past, so there will never ever be another "good" RPG.
Nonetheless, it is a good source of news and obscure info (if you care to shovel the toxic shite away).

I'm glad I came here instead of the Codex. They spend more time hating on games than enjoying them, and they talk like edgy 12 year olds even though they're grown ass men.

He has difficulty hitting a space bar?

Always kill those pesky mages first, then choke the others with the mages entrails. Nasty finger-wigglers!

I still prefer a place that is uncensored; that being said I am not easily offended. I like both places (this and the rpgcodex). The Dex is maybe the last free and open forum out there. (Uncensored)

Game looks interesting keeping an eye on it.

You made the right choice! :D

But hating and not enjoying… Not quite true.
Hint: Neo Scavenger. ;)

I actually found melee class a lot tougher to deal with so far in Kingmaker. And alchemists, those bomb throwers need to be killed ASAP!

Carnifex June 17th, 2018 22:10

Tough melee?? Ok, this I'm looking forward to seeing in action!!

Sounds great! Pathfinder greatly improved fighters in general, lots more martial feats and options. The PF paladin is pretty fun to play - we had one in our party, at higher levels you can gift your smiting ability to others around…take that evil! *whack*.

purpleblob June 19th, 2018 22:09

Yeah, I heard paladin is very fun to play. I'm tossing between Aasimar paladin and half elf fighter/mage for my full run :)

Pretty sure I will be human Ranger for my canon run. My love of nature and animals just lends me to that class. I tend to play with 2H greatswords though. Never been much into ranged.

Ekun is archer ranger and he is my best ranged dps at the moment :) I try to keep his dog out of the combat though because I hate seeing party animal/pet dying :(

Archangel June 20th, 2018 14:21

I am for sure going to be either a druid or sorcerer, these are two classes I most enjoy in D&D. In BG games Druid was pretty bad, a bit better in IWD.

Do they have a release date ?

Cacheperl June 20th, 2018 17:27

No specific date, but supposedly in 2018.

Aye if you are a backer you get in. I have been also playing a while and its a really good game.

I haven't played as much as PurpleBlob though as I am trying to limit how much I play so I still have some new things to experience ;)

purpleblob June 20th, 2018 22:36

@lostforever yes, I have beta access :) I sunk in 70+ hours, about 2/3 way into chapter 2. I would play more but I ran into a game breaking bug :(

My impression on Kingmaker? I loooovvveee it and can't wait to play the full version :)

Edit: good to see you posting again btw :)

Wow this is great news! I have almost forgotten about this game but I really loved what I saw when they went to KS. I have not seen any mention of this game in any other sites or even in gaming social media. I guess it goes to show that, I need to be a regular here at the watch!

Glad to hear you and other watchers are enjoying it and the number 70+ hours alone says how good the game is :)

Are they close to release?

purpleblob June 21st, 2018 13:34

No set release date but I think the Kickstarter page says summer 2018.
