I'm an RPG fan, mainly focused on tabletop RPGs, but I fell in love with Pathfinder Kingmaker. Starting with positives: - difficulty is done very well, there are many options, so you can tailor the experience to yourself - enjoyable learning curve of how different rules interact with each other - tooltips on terms, which people might not be familiar with (like deities, cities, countries, etc.) - story is well written, unexpected at times, and amount of choices for each alignment is giving this great replayability value. Lore is great, you can spend a lot of time delving into intricate details of the world As for negatives: - initially there was no turn-based combat, which for a pathfinder rule-set based game is IMO a flop. Real-time combat just is not it. Thankfully, Devs listened to the community! - initially there were a lot of bugs, but currently I encountered only three after 4 months of playing: a) in turn-based combat a character will sometimes move to attack, but then stop after walking up to an enemy and do nothing b) in bigger battles, initiative que gets stuck. Both this and previous problem can be fixed by quickly pressing T two times (which turns off and on turn-based combat) c) if you don’t assign an advisor to a problem with Mendev crusaders, then you won't be able to complete the quest related to them (there's no scripted encounter, that you should get) - evil alignment playthrough could get some love, as the game leans heavily towards Lawful Good I don’t get complaints about time restriction on quests, as I had plenty of time to do all of them (I failed one due to bug mentioned above). If you’re running out of time, then you didn’t pay enough attention to the quest. I’ve played this game for the last 4 months, with my wife playing alongside me on another PC. It was great fun, especially comparing outcomes of our different choices. It’s definitely not the last time I come back to Stolen Lands, even though I’ve completed the game a few times already
