Kingmaker - Q&A & Character Creation Video
 

Some new videos for Pathfinder: Kingmaker show off character creation and there is a Q&A video series also.

More information.

1 minute long q&a videos lol

Soon…

I hope there will be a preload on Steam!
Maybe I can sneak in a few hours Tuesday evening. The following days I will be on a business trip and will not be able to play :(

ha ha…yea, that is funny. :biggrin:

I suppose these guys are self conscious about their heavy accents, so time limiting it, be my guess anyway. :)

More news for those interested.:)

Pathfinder: Kingmaker News Roundup

Pax West Previews

OnRPG Bleeding Cool RPG Site Interview with Chris Avellone on RPGSiteAlso don't forget the Reddit AMA where they answered questions.

It's funny. They've done several AMAs on that subreddit and post every update there, but there are still people asking whether it's turn-based or not.

Avellone's interview sounds promising. Can't wait!

It's a long weekend in Australia (at least for NSW), and I took an extra day off to enjoy Kingmaker :D

Hope I will get my key soon!!

I would say the likelihood of me buying this on release day is about 99.98%. Is it just me, or does this game bear an uncanny resemblance to POE 2? I hope it's not nearly as goofy with horrid narration.

They're both inspired by Baldurs Gate, but beyond that I don't see the resemblance.

Both Kingmaker and PoE2 uses unity engine, so outwardly there are some similarities. I haven't played PoE2 so I don't know how bad the narrations were but I found Kingmaker pretty decent (storytelling wise, it was very engaging, although companion dialogues aren't great).

I am in wait and see mode with this one. Not sure if it will end up being for me (drawbacks to me are kinda cartoony graphics, and the whole kingdom management thing can go take a hike as far as I'm concerned, bring on more rpg goodness instead! :biggrin:)
but regardless, will pay attention to what rpg watchers who play it say and think. ;)

Another Q&A video was released.

I hope this is a big success. I would love for this game to become a series.

I would love it to be a huge success also. Maybe than, Wizards of the Coast would get off their ass and make a new 5th edition D&D crpg.

Pre-load won't do me any good. What they should do is to let me start character creation now. It always takes me at least two days to create a character in a D&D game; too many choices. :S

We're more likely to see a 6th edition CRPG before that happens

The game will unlock in 1 day and 19 hours.:dance::boogie::celebrate:

Real gamers are going to be playing this

Nope I'll be playing Pathfinder:Kingmaker & probably INSOMNIA: The Ark released later this month first. I'll play POE2 at later date, but thanks for the reminder though.

Some more videos, one article & audio podcast.

Why Pathfinder: Kingmaker Turned To Veteran A Storyteller Gen Con 2018 Seminar 23 – The Pathfinder Kingmaker CRPG

I had a blast with the CC. I went through the first chapter of the game 5 times with all kinds of characters. I still ended up with my favorite, a Ranger, but enjoyed Sorcerer, Barbarian, Druid, and Rogue.

I already own the game from KS and Beta playing. Very happy with it but for me personally I found parts of it generic. This does not mean bad but it was one con I noticed - if only for me and my own likes/dislikes on game.

By generic I mean the dialogue was a little bland IMO. There wasn't anything about the dialogue or characters that really jumped out at me … and I tend to be very forgiving when it comes to companions and dialogue. I didn't dislike it but it also didn't grab me like say MacCready in FO or Alistair in DAO did. That being said I do have a few characters I like and will bring with me.

Art theme is also a bit general to me - nice but didn't feel unique in any real way. Story I have very much enjoyed so far. It seems a fairly solid game to me even if parts felt a little plain and vanilla. But that is me - just some quick thoughts from playing it off and on since I got into the beta.

Total plus to the CC though - really love how in depth it is.

EDIT: MY first full play will be with a Ranger and wolf companion. For followers it will be Regongar, Linzi, Amari, Octavia, and either Tristiam or Harrim. That might change as I get deeper in but I know I want the first three based on playing with them so far.

I think my companions will be:

Linzi, Amiri, Valerie, Tristian, Octavia/Ekundayo.

Do companions gain experience outside your party? I like to switch them around

I doubt anyone here is surprised by your choice wolfgrimdark. ;)

I'm thinking of making an Inquisitor, I'm not sure for which god though. I'm not that well versed in Pathfinder lore.

There is a setting for it, I saw it in the overview video Couchpotato posted above.

Are we all ready for this behemoth? I feel like this will be far and away the closest we get to Baldur's Gate. It's going to be deep.

Honestly I'm only enthused because everyone else seems to be.

Pathfinder is a generic and inferior D&D clone, and this looks about the same. My fear is that since the game is 120 hours long, it will also end up being very repetitive.

I'm happy to eat crow if it's a great game, but it wont be because of either the combat (it should be turn-based) or the setting (Golarion is boring and uninspired).

Not everyone has memory bad as yours. We get it :rolleyes:

Damn. How am I supposed to fit this in between BT4, PoE2 and Star Control? And Insomnia is releasing too, since I backed it it woul be weird to at least not try it. Can someone send me more time?

I hope it will be a great rp experience. I'm losing hope the last few years.

Yay! Medieval Codex resembling UI!! I thought about the same thing to spice up our game story telling windows! But ours will be a little bit more like a codex from a Dark Fantasy / Dark Medieval / Demon infested world, and this shows on the clerics how they have painted the codex = the story. :)

Well said! I have seen great monsters in the Pathfinder compendiums, but I had to skim through a lot of monster descriptions to find that few and there was a surprising number of mediocrity. Still if they ever decide to create a turn-based Pathfinder game, I'm in! :D

Preload - soon
 

It seems the preload will open at 5:30PM CET - so very soon. I have already obtained my key from the owlcat site (no email was sent - yet) - and it's sitting in my Steam list waiting for the grand opening ;-)

I'm off to a conference on Wed so won't really have time to play this week…

Hm. Seems that something went wrong with the preload (not yet up) - and valve have shifted the release date later on the 25th :-S

Got my keys too!!! :D I usually prefer GoG but I chose Steam for Kingmaker since beta testing was done on latter platform.
