Bland story Rpg, superficial building

Being a fan of both, RPGs as well as building simulations, Pathfinder: Kingmaker (PK) sounded like the perfect game for me. Becoming king in an high fantasy setting and shaping the future of your country and character should be an intriguing combination after all. Regrettably, the game's flaws prevent you from truly enjoying your time in the "Stolen Lands". In the following i will focus on the kingdom building aspects due to the restricted number of words i am allowed to use. My biggest issue however is the kingdom building aspect of this game. Instead of creating vivid towns you only build buildings on three different archetypes of layout grids. The buildings you build have no effect on the world expect for passive secondary kingdom stats like "Relationship" boosts, which in turn allows you to train your advisors which allows you to claim more land, build more, train more, etc. Its a pertetuum mobile of standarized repeating actions. Meanwhile when you visit those settlements with your party they will always look and offer the same, no matter their development. As a critique without advice for improvement wouldn't be fair i will try to offer ways in which i believe his could be improved. Firstly, use unique locations from the map as groundwork for your towns. If their is a story relevant trading post then build the village around it. Add quests to turn it into a center of trade. make each settlement unique instead of a copy paste procedure. Secondly, tie world map improvement of your town to personal experience of your characters. Build a tavern in the city, be allowed to rest there. build a shop, trader pops up. Build a smithy, traders starts to deal in arms and armour as well... All in all, the game was a dissapointment becasue even though I invested a lot of time into it i never really felt invested in the story and the characters and that makes this game below average.

Kept my attention for untold hours

I've been playing isometric CRPGs since the original Fallout. I remember drooling over previews of the original Baldur's Gate more than 20 years ago. I played my way through Pillars of the Earth and backed Deadfire. Pathfinder Kingmaker is the closest fit to my gaming tastes of any game released since the Infinity Era. Yes it had bugs; it had a lot of bugs at the start but even they weren't enough to hide the fact this game hit all my CRPG buttons: Companions with personalities and relationships D20 mechanics Moral choices A story that let me explore rather than forcing me down a railroad. DEPTH Campaign length: I've played 250 hours already and won't be surprised to play 250 more. Yes, the difficulty can scale pretty high and some find that off-putting, and that's not even mentioning the bugs it started with. At the same time, Owlcat has been very good about fixing bugs and they have done wonders in decreasing load times. I have a fast NVME SSD and the first versions were just terrible for load times, but now it's no worse than other games of the genre. If you like western style isometric RPGs you can get lost in it for untold hours, and that's what I want most from any game. Hours of enjoyment.

Ultimately very disappointing

I played for 70 hours and was enjoying the game, and then was stuck in an inescapable game over situation. I didn't have saves far enough back to be able to fix the problem in time, so now I either have to start over or just leave the game unfinished. I don't think it's worth playing again, so I guess I'll just stop, which makes me feel ripped off. There is no warning that the mysterious magical event that you're told about is any worse than the myriad other challenges you face, which may have negative effects if not dealt with in time but don't cause you to immediately lose the game. I had no idea that this particular event deadline was so much more serious than other events - there's honestly no way to tell without reading a walkthrough online. Sure, I guess I should have kept a save file for each chapter and never deleted any of them so that I could go back 20 hours of play rather than starting over, but that seemed wasteful, and no modern, well-designed game would put players in a situation where they just have to throw the game away or start completely over, right? (And, frankly, even being put in a situation where I have to scrap 10 or 20 hours to go back and fix something like this would be immensely frustrating.) The game did not clearly communicate the stakes, so I didn't get to make an informed choice, resulting in a disappointing experience overall. Prior to that, I had been an interesting translation of the Pathfinder tabletop RPG to a new medium, and the writing was OK.

A deeply, deeply flawed masterpiece

I give it 5 stars because it's an experience worth having, despite the amount of bullshit one has to wade through. The game is long and fun all the way through. First of all, most of criticisms concerning bugs, performance and QoL are no longer valid, because after 2 years of updates it's is more or less playable. Still chock full of glitches, but after over 100 hours never experienced something game-breaking, requiring me to revert to an earlier save. Mechanics-wise it's great. As a person who treats combat in RPGs like a distraction at best, I had great fun learning the system throughout the playthrough. Unlike most other RPGs it remains challenging the whole time, maybe except for the final dungeon. Kingdom management seems like a port of some failed shitty mobile game. The only thing missing is the ability to buy Building Points™ for real money. Writing is all over the place. Sometimes the dialogue is decent, and sometimes cringeworthy. Sometimes you a have great way to roleplay, and sometimes you're softlocked into making certain story decisions at the threat of huge gameplay disadvantages. The story starts as the most banal "obviously good vs obviously evil" type, but then it throws convention defying curveballs at you, where the many RPG cliches are treated with real life logic. Accepting a quest from a wrong person can have disastrous results, with the choice to at best mitigate the damage you've done, and sometimes the evil motivated choice is the best one long term. Then again the game comes back to the banality, especially at the endings. It's got the "choices having consequences throughout the playthrough" part really good. The alignment system intrinsically sucks. The companions are mildly amusing at best (Nok-nok) and infuriatingly annoying at worst (Amiri), and most of them are at the worse side. Luckily, you've the option to hire custom made mercenaries and exile (sadly not kill) most of the story comps.

I'm glad I can play this game now.

I have enjoyed playing CRPG since I was young. I wanted to play PF game for a long time. But I didn't solve the problem that didn't work. When the PLAY button was pressed on GOG Galaxy, the game did not run without any change. The last time I tried was when I got it free of charge from EPICGAMES. Funny how it didn't work out the same way. I searched on the Internet, but I couldn't find a clear solution. Even now I don't know which is the solution. Fortunately, however, I enjoy PF without any problems now. It took a long time. I've never even seen a loading screen of this game. Who knew? I'm so happy just by looking at the loading screen. You all know that this game is great. I'm leaving this comment because of the joy of this game being played.
