Just finished BG3. What am i in for?

I'm stuck in gwerm mansion trying to defeat a level 7 goblin and its friends with my party of like level 3s this game is fucking hard

Woke game?

Both woke and edgy at the same time

install buff mod

get to do all my pre-buffing with a single button press

it even uses UI assets that makes it look like a totally seamless addition to the game

Works on my machine :)

just mod it bro

The bethesda of crpgs. Games are even more buggy too

Buff simulator

Great character building and the most fun RTwP combat in the genre. Writing basically on par with BG3s, equal amounts of cringe but arguably higher highs. The worst of it is in the very beginning though. Way way way worse voice acting. Worse exploration. Way better power fantasy. Some of the worst party members in RPG history, but they aren't all bad.

Pathfinder in the filename

That pic taken from Steam

Obligatory BG3 bait

You're in for a game that you've already played multiple times

I also used the buff mod because it's so damn tedious but I hate how it's technically cheating because the fact that spells have cast time means that every buff should be like 6 seconds taken off of its duration based on how far along the order of buffs it is. The way the buff mod works it just instantly gives all the buffs at the same time. For hour long buffs it doesn't matter but a lot of buffs have really short durations

You're in for a much more difficult game for starters.

How owlcat managed to break their buff addiction when making rogue trader? better base system?

the buff spam problem wasn't because of owlcat. It's baked into the Pathfinder system. And Pathfinder didn't start the fire either, it goes back to 3rd edition DnD (pathfinder is pretty much just 3rd edition DnD with a twist of lemon).

Rogue Trader meanwhile is using the warhammer 40k RPG rules which simply doesn't really have buffs as part of the game mechanics

Buffs don't stack the same way it does in books causing number bloat which in turn bloats enemies to compensate for their failure to RTFM

the buff spam problem wasn't because of owlcat. It's baked into the Pathfinder system

in a tabletop game you don't have to autistically cast every single buff on every single one of your characters, you just say "we prebuffed" and are done with it
a proper DM is also not going to encourage "yeah bro just stack more buffs, get higher numbers and win just autoattack" like owlcat does

use cheats, the gameplay is worse than bg3 in every way.

If you fags hate pre-buffing so much just play on normal difficulty where you don't need to stack buffs to win.

now you just autoattack everything to death without the autistic minmaxing part

buff stacking works correctly by the Rules as Written most of the time in the Owlcat pathfinder games. The basic rule for stacking buffs in DnD 3.5e and Pathfinder is that you can only have one of a specific "type" of buff for each attribute. So, you can't have +2 str from an "enhancement" source and then also +4 str from an "enhancement" source, but you CAN have +2 "divine" str and +2 "enhancement" str at the same time. This is how it is coded to work in owlcat games (usually, there are a lot of bugs in their games) and also how it technically works in the tabletop rules as written.

Yes, a good DM will rule zero away things that make the game worse. That's one of the main roles of a DM. A video game doesn't have a human DM though so the rules as they are written are going to play a big part in how the game ends up working rvwrh

cant get into the deep gameplay? rtwp too fast for you?
just put game on easy with turn based mode on
now you can have fun

for another brony lolcow seethe n cope thread

most of the time

Can you talk louder while you move the goal post from way out there? I beat 6 of the mythics on unfair.
It took OwlCat years to fix quad stacking cha mod into AC as one fucking example.
And guess what? Enemies gained extra attack bonus because of the max AC math players could gain with easy splashes.

I've played the game 3 times but I still want to replay it. Will probably do an unfair arcane deceiver trickster merge for cool roleplay.

Impregnated with twins

You only need prebuffing if you're playing above normal, outside of a few specific encounters. Casting Haste turn one will demolish just about any encounter, especially combined with things like Grease, Web and the Phantasmal spells.

It's weird. It's woke early on introducing lots of strong minority characters, but come later into the game these characters are shown to be pretty bad at what they do to the point that other people lose their lives because of them.

impregnated with twins

based

tedium in every little aspect of the game, from exploration to combat, thanks to rest mechanics and permanent stat drains.

This is doubly as egregious in the 1st act where not only do you have very limited resources, you are also on a rather tight time limit which if you're not fast enough makes you lose chunks content. Any time you get stat drained in the 1st act, it is objectively better to just reload the game and redo the fight, rather than rest it out or travel back to the base of operations to buy restoration scrolls thus wasting limited time and money - a clear evidence of garbage game design.

equally as tedious and exceptionally shitty tacked-on HoMM clone minigame, which if disabled through a difficulty option makes you miss out on some good gear.

even MORE tedious prebuff rituals that you have to redo any time you load into a new map, the further you are into the game the longer they become.

combat encounters are numerous and feel like shit.

Vast majority of them pose zero challenge, and those that do aren't won by approaching from different angles (more often than not there aren't any) or careful planning and positioning - they're won by stacking as many short buffs as possible and beelining for priority targets.

the gameplay.

Above paragraph pretty much says it all - it's as mindless and samey as it can be.

loading screens EVERYWHERE.

Here's your average experience: leave the location you're in *load*; teleport and enter drezen *load*; rest *load*; go out of the keep to sell loot *load*; decide to put some loot in the stash - back into the keep *load*; go back to world map *load*; start building projects - *load x2* PER SETTLEMENT; engage an enemy army *load x2*; travel and enter new location *load*; you can now play the game (after you complete your 5 minute long prebuff session) :)

In wrath of the righteous can I play as a Paladin whose sole purpose in life is to serve the church and kill demons but throughout the course of his adventure realises that maybe his cause is not as righteous as he initially thought and has a genuine crisis of faith?

Kill yourself futa tranny

Paladin Angel into Legend maybe.

genuine crisis of faith?

Why? You are killing chaotic evil demons, you are in the right.

the demons have a point......

A better story, waaaaay more classes to chose from,better companions, more fun spells, waaay higher power level. Dont listen to people talking about prebuffing problems or whatever. you can just get the bubblebuffs mod and it solves that. Anyone complaining about the crusade is retarded and just didnt get setsuna shy general and one tapped everything with a single spell.

The only problem with it is that you have to actually understand how to build your character or you will have a VERY hard time progressing if you play at any difficulty worth playing at

Do not play this. I also tried this after BG3 and it was one of the worst gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Kino main menu theme though

Bugs.

This is the correct answer.
The game is either going to be one of your favorite games ever, or you're going to drop it around chapter 3 for being the most tedious garbage you've ever tried to play.

I'm in the second camp, hated it. If you end up bouncing off of the game, try giving one of the Divinity games a try, that's what I did.

Dragon Age 2 might be more your speed bro.

The game does warn you that you have to engage with this shit on Core+

i-is that you swarmfag?

No.
I'm just the drawfag that did thisfor him

Full pic pls?

Curse you for your evil drawings, respectfully

Thanks, I get that a lot.

A better game that at least isn't gay porn, but it's still woke.
Not that you would understand the difference, since anyone who played Balding Gay 3 is just there to fap at ugly alphabets

You will most likely drop it quickly, because you are dumb desu

debuff and disable him, and buff yourself

This It has many, many, many, many shortcomings, big and small, from the general design perspective, gameplay balance and game mechanics, individual encounters, some writing aspects, engine things, QoL ...
But all these glaring shortcomings are clashing and sorta staying in balance with a slew of phenomenally designed and crafted features and brilliant writing, all the options, the sheer scale, fights to remember with all the clutches you can pull off where every system, spell and act matters and can turn a surefire defeat into a victory if handled with tactical acumen and preparedness for everything, the companions, the music, etc.
Either you can live with those shortcomings for the good stuff, or it will sour your experience like nothing else

w-what goblin
i don't remember no goblin

GODDAMN

Lann 3 Zen Archer into a full-on Cleric-Crusader. Is it a good or bad idea? I want to have a cleric in my team that makes at least sorta sense from roleplay perspective, and Crusader archetype sounds good on Lann being a mongrel and all

It's how you build him if you don't want him as a monk.

So will are these two goat sluts down to do yuri with each other or is it a one at a time deal.

Less RPG, more build comps

I like it, and I'd prefer to take Lann over Sosiel. You'll probably want to spend some Mythic levels on domains though, which means less Mythic levels on martial stuff. Community is the main good one, and I like giving everyone an animal companion if possible. I like Raptor but I think Dog's technically better. A lot of people also like Madness Domain with Domain Zealot, but I think that's too much micromanagement for me by that point of the game.

just get the mod that fixes it

If the vanilla game is unplayable, it’s a bad game

Play Kingmaker first.
Wrath has a lot of quality of life features you will miss if you go to Kingmaker after.

oh shit they're going to be puckin on top of each other all over the floor.

A lot more power at the cost of fighting a lot more bullshit. At a certain point in the game everyone becomes broken and it just gets more and more broken from there, but you're top of the food chain and the holy angel fire from your eyes will annihilate entire enemy group as well as their ancestral bloodlines. Honestly it's a great power fantasy but the builds do get a bit autistic
