I loved the first until I had to managed the keep than I stopped. I did the same in Pillars of Eternity 2 with the stupid boat stuff.
All I want is to take my party on a grand adventure, not ride in a stupid boat or manage a keep.
I'm probably alone in this though. Just wish they would stay focused on being a RPG adventure.
It's one of the reason I put Divinity Original Sin way above these...it's focused on just being a good RPG with no distractions from the main game.
The version on Steam for like $40 the one to go for? Based on the previous comments seems worth it although could wait for a possible sale. Didn’t check price history.
Best deal right now:
If you go to the Kickstarter page, there is a $43 option that gives you a Pathfinder: Kingmaker key, and the new game when it is released.
Steam or GoG works too, though. It was half off, on the last 2 steam sales, so if you wait until the winter sale (soon?), you can probably get it for $20.
I assume you don't get the key until the kickstarter is done though, can't find any confirmation but that'd make sense since Kickstarter doesn't actually give them money until it's over and it'd be weird for them to hand over keys when you can just cancel your pledge after.Yeah, if people are interested I'd recommend backing the $43 option to get a key. Very good game. Decided to back this, my first KS.
Wrath of the Righteous
Good:
- Mythic rules
- Very much about the players
- Feels epic
- Allows for some stellar good characters. Or even evil characters.
- Remember all the bad with Jade Empire, with NPC's being in the way? This fixes all of that.
Bad:
- If you hate "You're the chosen ones" type games, run. Fast
- High level play. You have to be prepared. Which means you need to know the Mythic Rules.
- High level play. Which means your players have to be prepared, and some classes (Alchemist) don’t synergize as well.
- There are some moments where the players are being directed just a tad too much
- I’ve read it’s super easy mode once you get past some of the TPKs.
General Information
- Balance of RP to Fights: Decent balance, though don't expect to talk your way out of too many fights. Depends on the DM’s view of if Demons can be saved, etc.
- Good to Read by itself: Yes. Somewhat hard at times, but it explores a region that is very interesting.
- Main type of game: The Crusades... without that troublesome moral ambiguity
- Location: Worldwound/Abyss
- Lots of Travel or Staying in one place? It's mostly central to one city.
