Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition

JFC Owlcat! I really want to like your games, the story and mechanics are great (when they work). At first I was happy that at least this game seemd better optimized than Kingmaker (i.e. no random frame-rate drops). However, even in the "Enhanced Edition" there's still so many bugs: - Whole classes/archetypes that are broken beyond memeability (Blood Kineticist). - Quests that don't complete (Gwerm's Mansion). - Weird animation glitches (mounted combat). You guys really need a team of editors to pair your games down to something you can actually deliver in the timeframe you set yourselves without this year(s) long extended beta/early access phase. Also, fix your GOG patchers so that they don't delete important files needed for the game to run (necessitating a complete reinstall).

I love this game mostly for the deep of the class system. I used to love neverwinter night 1&2 and the pathfinder games are the perfect successor.. Story is good, mythic path system is a really good idea...

PROS: Got tons of class builds You can use custom images for character portraits. I use anime characters for my mercenaries hehe 6 characters in a party Mounts. I'm still not sure about how they level up. I think it's different when you initially hired the mercenary. The battles are good. The aesthetics look good. Wished it had more option to customize your mercenaries look. CONS; Can be gamebreaking systems and bugs. Like that crusade system which the morale plummets easy and when it goes negative and you wasted some of your army on a battle you are going to be stuck. Had to edit the morale to continue the hours i spent on a run rather than just playing a save file way back. Money is hard to come by so yes you are going to have problems if you don't have a healer/support merc. The amount of gold needed to hire a mercenary rises exponentially too. You are going to have problems with ability drains. If you don't have a priest with restoration or you don't have money to buy the scrolls then you are stuck. You can't use your party's ability when at the safe camp to save money. Kinetic Sharpshooter metakinesis quicken is bugged. Doesn't shoot continously if it's in automatic mode. Keen-eyed adventurer witch's improved cantrip not working. So i bought it cheap and now i know why they made it cheap :D Still a fun game to play and get your imagination running but it is unpolished.

Get this. I'm not a fan of the setting and I like games where you play at low levels, but despite that I have to give this 5 stars. The Good: Clear goals and storyline. I'm not into demon storylines but this was at least interesting and you get too invested in the storyline to care about minor details. Some of the party members are great, some are meh, but you get a diverse (in a good way: personality, backstory) cast to play with and there are enough good ones that you can leave behind the bad. Their mythic system is a genius idea for how to insert replayability and meaningful player choice without having to write a million different storyline plots to satisfy everyone. Major improvements in bugginess vs their previous game. I played WOTR in beta and while it was good, I was hugely concerned by the amount of bugs (and I normally don't encounter most bugs). They pulled off what few studios do though and made major improvements between Beta and release. The Bad: Cartoony graphics, less flexibility in terms of plot characters than their previous game. Less impressive storyline twists. Also, you're not going to completely change what story unfolds but you can change how it unfolds in many ways.

While this game's definitely got some questionable difficulty with the encounters, I'd say overall this game has the most content out of any cRPG I've played that's came out recently. Bunch of classes, bunch of mythic paths, and the builds I've played on tabletop can be played here usually! Pretty good writing, there's a few that I really like, but as one reviewer said the power scaling is a bit wacky. Like I'm not even level 10 and I've already killed a balor and the game is sucking me off. But if you can look past that and the difficulty you have a pretty good gem.
