This is the thread about Pathfinder 2 the sequel to the highly acclaimed game Pathfinder 1 which came out on computer a few years ago. I think this game is great fun. I made this thread so everyone from Imp Zone can pile on and make fun of me for playing a rpg developed outside of Japan.

Thanks. Typically mages can't wield glaives, unless they multiclass or take martial weapon proficiency as a feat.

FACTually! They can in this game, as an early game book gives any class glaive proficiency for free!

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
I do want to play this OP but I've barely gotten started on Kingmaker and I also heard it's like 200 hours long. How is the turn-based mode? I generally prefer turn-based to RTWP but it seems hard to design a game for both; in PoE2 it felt like I was running into trash encounters that took way longer than they should have, and the way some mechanics translated was really weird

I toggle RTWP on and off as needed with the T key. They have maybe too many trash mob encounters to use turn based all of the time. But turn based is great for bosses and hard battles. Hell, you can even change modes mid battle.

The turn based mode makes me question my sanity sometimes. There are fights that are way, way harder on turn based and take absolutely loving forever to resolve. I play on Core difficulty.

Ohhhh being able to toggle is cool, IIRC in PoE2 it was a permanent choice when you started the game Very intrigued

I'm itching for a rpg like pathfinder but i've already decided to test out my new computer chair's rear end sitting potential with that tyranny game that came out some years ago, maybe. ive watched some gameplay and pathfinder seems to be a good filler while i wait for balders gate 3 so i guess im a little conflicted in what massive 100+ hr rpg to lose my life to atm.

Note that this is because the game unceremoniously ends 2/3 through just as it introduces a bunch of mechanics and starts to get interesting.

Anyway looking forward to playibg this, never got round to the first one

Been playing this game for days. It's fantastic if you like character building. Can't think of any games that come close, except for NWN2.

It is built in Unity, so unfortunately it is needlessly insane with GPU usage. But for the most part, yes.

I have a 3070 and dungeons with a lot of fire/light sources or big battle scenes chug a bit. Haven't messed with settings because it's only in certain areas but the game is definitely more resource-intensive than most isometric BG-likes

I also need to respec my cavalier mercenary to a class that doesn't have a pet because his horse is gigantic and essentially always in the way unless it's dead, which it is a lot of the time

just accept that 90% of the stats and skills are useless, actively harmful, or non functioning like in all rpgs whether j or w. farewell
