About 140 hours, doing 100%. There are mods to skip that stuff, but they break the secret true ending... Which you definitely would never get without a guide. I actually ended up liking the army stuff, and the city building is super watered down from Kingmaker. Only 4 slots per settlement.

I started the first Pathfinder and it kicks rear end. It feels way more like Baldur's Gate than any of the stuff like Pillars of Eternity I've played, maybe because the Pathfinder system is basically D&D. And the turn based mode is nice

Kingmaker is a more complete game and I'd recommend it over Wrath right now. But be warned gamer: it is a very long game.

can you go into this without knowing how d&d typically works? ive watched a little gameplay and got immediately intimidated but also thought it's just something i'd have to get used to if i give it a try. im just used to bigger numbers = better without having to think about it too much.

Yeah, and you'll learn the mechanics by osmosis by playing. You can respec for free as many times as you want, too.

d&d is weirdly easy to learn tbh. if you're playing a spellcaster then put your best score into whatever the spellcasting stat is (int for wizards, cha for sorcerers wis for clerics and druids, etc). if you're playing a fighter type, you want strength and con. there are classes like monks and paladins where it matters more, but it's usually like two minutes of reading to figure out what they need. not sure how much the pathfinder games carry stuff over though.

Small children have been learning to play D&D since the 80s and the video games have a computer automating most of the maths for you, you'll manage

The first game at least is almost an exact replication of the tabletop rules. I never played Pathfinder but I played tons of D&D 3.5 so everything made sense to me immediately lol

Don't use that too much it picks insanely stupid stuff. It's fine for the stats themselves but you want to check its choices for skills, spells etc

one player d&d must be weird in a lot of ways. haste is definitely one of the most powerful spells in every version of 3rd ed but it's because you cast it on all the fighters.

There's a mythic feat that turns 5 minute or higher spell durations into 24 hours, so there's ways to get 24 hour haste. Pretty cool.

Bought this today and I had like 30 minutes to kill before work and thought I'd get started with character creation but I didn't even really finish reading the list of classes lol. Lots of them look really cool but several of the coolest ones have a big warning saying "Not recommended for new players" and I'm wondering if I should go against it or not. Witch particularly looks sick

Ended up going for Oracle, seems pretty straightforward and fairly versatile depending on what I want to spec into late game. I know respecs at least exist in the game, but are they rare/costly? edit: also I ended the night with like 30 wiki browser tabs open from looking at poo poo in the in-game encyclopedia, then looking up terms from that online. Pathfinder lore seems really stupid/cool, I like that the planet Earth exists in the game world along with the entire Cthulhu mythos.

Witch particularly looks sick I was bummed to read that it's more of a "protagonist and friends" style game rather than "equal adventuring party" because I'm never going to have time to replay it and only making one character and maybe a couple of mercenaries feels like a huge waste, especially if the latter don't get the prestige class paths or whatever they're called

But it's not 100% by the book. Monsters have stats and abilities according to their level classes, but they add extra classes/levels on to monsters. That's why Normal is what they balanced around. And you can change any difficulty setting at any time if you don't like it.
