I get it, I've played all the CRPGs. Bad rolls and early difficulty are the norm... but while in Baldurs Gate and Fallout 2 you're reloading to an assassin sent by the big bad or because the raiders are using automatic shotguns... in Pathfinder Kingmaker's early game you'll be dying to trash mobs, with trash gear, rolling crazy dice with buffed stats. That... is not fun. That is the opposite of fun, and its opposite of what the early game should be doing. It should be teaching you mechanics and easing you in.
Enemies will - Critical! Critical! Critical!
Party Members will - Miss, Miss, Miss
Player will - Reload, Reload, Reload.
This isn't what a CRPG, RPG or any game should do. Feeling that the way to overcome adversity is to die repeatedly so you can learn postmortem that these enemies are beyond you, that a swarm of insects can eat 3+ vials of acid and alchemist fire without dying, that you should never even have stepped foot in this canyon breaks all immersion and sense of accomplishment.
Bought It and started it - Crash at the first loading screen.
Searched the internet for help and tried every single solution I found...nothing.
Still won't start at all. Which is really sad cause I really like the PnP Pathfinder.
Enjoy being stuck on the same encounters for half an hour because the devs just slapped a +30 modifier to hit and damage on the enemies. And that's just on Challenging, not even Hard or beyond.
It's a mess. Do NOT buy it.
