Pathfinder: Kingmaker

Me too - to her review and the game both

I have had alpha access but avoided it. But with winter break coming and COVID cases on the rise I relented as I want something fun to do stuck inside. So downloaded the alpha and will probably dig into it a bit over thanksgiving break since I am not going anywhere or having guests. A good time to play

Want to try and avoid burn out though. Will see how my self control goes lol.

I think the main reason is simple: It's a D20 ruleset.

You may consider proposing your review to @felipepepe for his update of The CRPG Book. If that's still on, the list of games is here (link found on this page). From that list, that particular review is not assigned yet.. but I don't see many updates of this document, so I'm not sure

Hey, I was considering too but I think mine will be too long for his book and I will have to update my review to include changes implemented with enhanced plus edition.

I understand

Which means you could play again

Another strategy would be targeting Wrath of the Righteous, which should be in the 2020-2024 book update. That leaves you 4 years to do it

I would but I'm so wrapped up with Wrath of the Righteous alpha playthroughs!!!

I just finished alpha 2 for the first time and going to replay chapter 3 again (I played chap1 and 2 dozen times before alpha 2 so trying to avoid burning myself out).

I can ask felipepepe if he'd be interested in using my Kingmaker review first, I guess. I'm just happy with the amount of detail I've put in Kingmaker Watch review and unsure how much I can cut it down without losing too much detail for felipepepe's book.

I want to do the same for Wrath of the Righteous - as in, I would like to write another detailed review without being restricted to two pages (or whatever word count felipepepe wants).

The book already includes my Baldur's Gate 2 review, so I'm already happy

Happy you're having so much fun with these games. I couldn't finish PKM in the end due to its length and that stupid house of time. I tend to get tired of games after about 100 hours or so unless they have an amazing ending and I found PKM going to wrong way with that map.

Really enjoyed it a lot though. And that's saying a lot from me because I generally dislike RTwP. I didn't try with TB mod, but I might for the Wrath of the Righteous.

You will be glad to know WotR will be shorter than Kingmaker but with lots of replayability

It's a shame House at the Edge of Time was so poorly done - they've made some changes with the recent patch so its a bit less tedious now though!

IMO, the story in Kingmaker is great but you don't get to see the amazing twists until you hit the ending slides :/
