A flawed game

You may pick this up expecting to play Pathfinder on your laptop, I recommend you don't. Pathfinder Kingmaker is... Flawed. There are NUMEROUS significant issues with the game that will irk longtime fans of PF, and leave new players pulling their hair out. The story is solid, we'll get that out of the way now, but most everything else suffers from some astounding development decisions. First, the characters. Your party is made of you and up to 5 other NPC's you'll recruit throughout the game. Each of them is terrible. They are class locked from a base level of 3 into a class and subclass, and you cannot change it. Some of their decisions are downright terrible. Not a single one of them is a well built character that can pull it's own weight. You can hire mercs, all of which are lower level than you. By A LOT. Second is the balance. The developers have no concept of difficulty scaling, and it shows. The first chapter of the game has you go on a short (90 days in game) campaign to kill a tyrant in a forest, and for succeeding you get the land. The final boss is a level 4 encounter, and you can take his encounter (him and about 40 goons) at level 2 if you're smart. On the other hand, in the level 1 Kobold mine are webs that will shut down your entire party because they are coded to become a permanent part of the background and can't be burned away. Get stuck in some at any character level, just altF4 and start a new game. The web does not ever go away, and if even ONE part member is stuck in it, you're not able to move to the next area. You also level FAR slower than in any RPG I've ever seen, that includes actual pathfinder, and half of the spells are broken (see invisibility does not work, for example). The game isn't difficult, it's tedious. Some of this is fixed with mods, most isn't. You can download a mod to reclass NPC's, get more exp, fix a handful of spells, so on so forth. But that is something you expect from Bethesda. Avoid unless the devs fix it.

What a game this could have been

It seems to be pretty standard when reviewing this game, but I'll throw in my agreement. The game's story, chatacters, and basic design are incredible. Everything you could want in a CRPG. It's what DOESN'T work that will make you throw your laptop out the window in frustration. At the time if this review, many, MANY of the items do not work as advertised if they work at all, and even some spells fail completely. I just noticed today that Freedom of Movement provides absolutely ZERO protection against paralysis... which is what it was specifically created for. Most of the quests have some issues if they are not outright impossible to complete. This game is insanely frustrating at best. In fairness, the developers are correcting issues, albeit very slowly. Putting out DLC when the game is in this state is irresponsible to say the least. Hopefully they will correct these issues soon and we will have a game that will be a treasure for years to come.

After a slew of patches now a great game

The average rating of this game is unfairly suffering from the bugged state it was in when it got launched. The developers have put in an incredible amount of work and dedication (something I have never seen from big studios like Bethesda) to fix as much of it as possible. So as of today, the game is in great shape and if you are even remotely interested in Baldur's Gate or Pillars of Eternity, you should definitely give this a try.

Not Right Now

Back in 1998 we learned what would happen if a video game company one-for-one converted a pen and paper ruleset into a video game. That game was Baldur’s Gate. In many ways the game was great but this was in spite of the ruleset and not because of it. Owlcat has done the same thing with the same results: a confused mess. DnD and Pathfinder rules exist in a vacuum; unless you are coming from that enclosed space it’s all unintuitive. This is compounded by the fact the game is balanced as if it is a pen and paper session with a DM. In a tabletop session an NPC gives me a quest to kill a basilisk. My character doesn’t know anything about basilisks and I spend a few hours wandering around town to try to find someone who knows anything about the creatures and their weaknesses. In that same quest in Kingmaker the NPC wouldn’t tell me anything he knows basilisks himself, I can’t ask around town to get more information, and then I have a fight against a creature made within that vacuum at a disadvantage because I didn’t meta and look up the rules. Then there are the bugs. I’m sure everyone knows the reddit meme Patchfinder Bugmaker by now. This game has earned that meme and then some. To the point that any time something starts to go wrong there’s I debate with myself as to whether it’s a bug or another case of lack of communication. This game released awhile ago and the state it’s in is unacceptable. The Wild Cards DLC they just released? It re-broke things that were fixed. Every time they try to fix the game something else breaks even worse (it’s like a programmer’s worst nightmare). That doesn’t mean that there isn’t a good game underneath all of the frustration (I wouldn’t get this upset if I wasn’t invested) but I highly advise anyone looking at this title right now (December 30, 2018) to wait a year for patches before buying and even then you’ll probably want to heavily mod it.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is a wonderful CRPG

I would just like to point out one thing to start with, a lot of the score for this game is a result of low reviews at launch. Since then until today about 90% of issues have been resolved, including the pesky long loading times. It used to take me 5 minutes to load a certain room, now it takes me 20 or so seconds. The vast majority of bugs are gone and there's no more game breaking bugs, the only ones left are very minor. The issues are the only thing that held this game down, so it's totally worth returning to the game or buying it now if you're new. Because with those things gone, this is a fantastic RPG. Interesting characters even though a couple makes you want to punch their face in, least you care. The soundtrack is superb, the story is enticing and arguably the most important thing, the gameplay is innovational. and incredibly rich of choice. In a way that makes it fun but also makes you think harder as to what to choose. Especially if you play on some of the highest difficulties as enemies can get quite ferocious.
