Oh god, this game. I love and hate it at the same time, some parts of it are awesome (music!), some are so loving tedious without cheating your way through 2137 mobs with artificialy inflated AC. Some mythic paths are great, some are an absolute joke. Crusade system isn't nearly as annoying as kingdom management in Kingmaker, but it's still not fun.

First of all, wonderful LP. I am waaaay to lazy and this game is waaaay to tedious for me to try all Mythic paths, and Trickster is one of those I never tried. Some random thoughts. - I hate how this game a) is borderline unplayable without Toybox b) has 2137 classes, but 90% of them is either underpowered or outright unplayable due to bugs or features not working. Together with Gothic, both Pathfinder games are definition of eurojunk. - I think you are underselling Azata patch reducing it to "lol randumb stuff", it's more about being fantasy Antifa, "the power of friendship", "look, I have a dragon" and That One Fight. Not to mention that Song of Elysium is loving awesome. - thank you for not being Camelia simp. - I do not understand hate for backer quests. Blackwater (after nerf) is unironically one of the best dungeons in game. That one quest with drow is liiiiiitle bit marysue-ish, but nothing compared to that godawful backer poo poo from Kingmaker or Pillars of Eternity. Jernaugh quest is awesome. - I'm pretty sure mercenaries guy has some quest connected to his Sad Background Story, and with Obvious Twist, no less. - I love how Mutation Warrior is literally "ok, that's a witcher but we don't have copyrights" quote:Imagine legions of golems imbued with extraplanar spirits marching into battle. Imagine flying cities that swoop out of the clouds, like terrifying monstrous birds of prey, to drop forces on top of enemy castles. Picture gigantic mechanisms powered by captive — and very angry — demons and devils. Imagine standing in the warpath of walking citadels or having to cover your ears to block out the sound of cannons loaded with shrieking elementals. I have to admit, it sounds cool, but I am a magitek guy, as you can see from me being Blackwater fan.

Slaan posted:Only thing I've legit hated so far is the loving Fox Pyramid. Place is five hours of lovely puzzles you can't legitimately solve just before the end of the game. Never playing that side quest dungeon again yup, it's almost as bad as final dungeon in Kingmaker. It amuses me how almost everyone hates puzzles in Owlcat games and they keep making more of them.

I like Ember, she's pretty good subversion of both "creepy little girl with supernatural powers" (because this time weird little girl uses her powers for good) and "yet another Avellone NPC" (young girl who is unquestionably good instead of old character with "there is literally no difference between good and evil, you moron, you fool" morality) I think the only NPCs from WotR I don't like are Camilla and Sosiel, latter mostly because he's so bland. For comparision, NPCs from Kingmaker other than Nok-Nok sucked badly. Szarrukin fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Sep 20, 2022 |

Lord Koth posted:I'm going to note here that Nok-Nok was Avellone's pet character for Kingmaker. And his quest line dances a bit uncomfortably on the "literally no difference" line too. So maybe you actually like Avellone characters? Or at least his modern style? I couldn't believe Nok-Nok was Avellone's NPC. He was so much better than Kreia, Durance, Grieving Mother of whatever his new version of Ravel from P:T is called. As for WotR, I really like Seelah for being rare case of paladin without 5 foot long pole in her rectum. Reminds me of "Order of the Stick" paladins (other than Miko).

I love how we can accuse poor Curl of robbing corpses and literally one second later loot nearest fallen enemies ourselves.

Owlcat's view on what makes valid Lawful and Good dialogue options is... controversial sometimes.

Enhanced Edition is out, although it's kinda underwhelming in my opinion.
