Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition

Over the course of the 20 or so hours I played this game I was hoping to find two human male knights/warriors to join me as followers. I wanted a 3 man team of brutal warriors. Instead I got a bunch of girls and freaks. The first characters you run into are 3 women. An archer, a sorcerer and a Knight. Sir "Selah" was the only character I marginally liked. Then I run into two complete freaks of nature, one that is half-dragon and another that is a cat-spider abomination. I wanted to kill these things on sight. The game pretended as though killing them was an option. But the game doesn't let you actually fight them if you try to. Instead the game forces you to work with them. I guess I should be more inclusive towards demonic hybrid creatures in a game that is supposedly about killing demons. Sometime later I come across with a knight in cool golden armour. Unfortunatly this character was a female Orc-Lesbian-Knight. And for some reason the game really wants you to know that right off the bat. This weirdo will be your new boss for a while. After many hours I found a few other characters, a witchy elven girl and yet another freak. Somekind of male Satyr that is locked in a cage. I left the weirdo in the cage where he belongs. I tried to get a male dwarf to join me, but he wouldn't. Was even going to settle for a male archer but he wouldn't join me either. The game wants you to exclusivly work with women and/or freaks. You essentially have to team up with demonic creatures in a crusade against demonic creatures. It's just very stupid. All I wanted were a few human male companions to fight along side me and go about hunting demons. But I suppose I was asking for too much.

Pre Order items, Kickstarter items, Commander/Mythic items do not appear in inventory even after downloading them from the "extra" section separately and restarting the game three times and starting a fresh character following the download. Same incredibly annoying inanities from Kingmaker carried over such as tedious combat lasting in excess of fifteen rounds (trying out the new turn based option) against a single opponent where RNG refuses to land a hit for either side (playing on core) -be prepared to carry your incompetent party through combat btw. There are all new ones as well, like 30 target number perception checks to open a door. . .at level 2. . .maybe a half hour into the game in the third area you arrive at after the prologue. I don't even know if I want to continue. So glad I popped for the mythic version to have the DLCs taken care of in advance.

Perfect job pros -Story fantastic -good graphics - good controls system -cons -should have more companions - no Portugues language

Encounter design is A very bad, just stack up enemies with huge buffs with no real way of dealing with them.

THE GOOD: + very long playtime, epic content + a lot of difficulty settings/customization + optional turn-based combat (only way to play!) THE BAD: -- no real improvements from PATHFINDER: KINGMAKER -- graphical style too cartoony, ugly character portraits, no graphical improvements from its predecessor - still not fully voiced (expect to read A LOT) - realtime with pause (Command & Conquer-style) combat system! It was terrible in Baldu'rs Gate, it's terrible now! BOTTOM LINE: I find PATHFINDER (II) - WRATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS rather disappointing: there is no real improvement over its predecessor, graphics are the very same, the game still is not fully voiced so be prepared to read A LOT. PII:WOTR retains the (ugly) cartoonish style of its predecessor, complete with very few whacky looking character portraits, but luckily you can import your own. On the plus side they added new races (some of which never appeared in any CRPG before) and a lot (!) of new classes and sub classes. The kingdom management has been scrapped, you know have a Crusade to fight (think HEROES OF MIGHT & MAGIC-like sieges) which is meh. If you liked PATHFINDER: KINGMAKER you will probably like PATHFINDER: WRATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, too, as it improves (gameplay wise) on the system, but otherwise feels like a lazy sequel. If you aren't going to make a technical leap forward at least improve the faults the previous game had: fully voiced dialogues, a narrator, you know, as in BALDUR'S GATE 3 or DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2. Oh, and Owlcat, ditch the horrible realtime with pause combat system, that is just awful. Sure you can switch back and forth between this abomination and turn-based, but the game was clearly made with the first in mind.
