ohhhhhhh ! i'm very happy u started this game, It's a game I've never been able to finish and I'll love watching your game
It's not an easy game that's for sure. But very worth it once you get used to the mechanics and building characters, etc.
Hope I'll go far and make it entertaining along the way :D
Fantastic guide! Instant sub. Thank you for posting.
Pathfinder Wotr is my favorite crpg of all time but i've never played kingmaker i'm glad that i get to see check it by watching you play.
WoTR is an excellent game. It has many quality of life features that would be quite welcomed in kingmaker. It also reaches a much more epic level in terms of character builds with the mythic paths which is very cool.
On the other hand I tend to prefer the story and companions in kingmaker. WoTR is also *very* heavy on demons.
love your HC playthrus!
Nice advice! Rlly looking foward to ur LA run! Cheers broh!
Mr. Roguenbauld :D How have you been? I've missed your LA runs on kingmaker and WotR :(
I actually spent some time watching your twitch VODs of WotR in Last Azlanti when I had my surgery and had to stay in bed for a few days, but those ran out quickly. I know you're currently doing Rogue Trader, so sadly I can't participate in the streams as I'm also playing it and don't want to get spoiled :p
All the best and pray for me! I'm already sweating about those mandragoras if I reach that point xD
Love Kingmaker. I’m glad you’re covering it.
I personally find that Kingmaker generally forces you to get 3 skills on the main PC. Trickery, Persuasion and Perception.
I feel like the only one that is really benefitial is persuasion, at least on my typical playthroughs. Thievery is a really good one to have if you want to maximize the exp your main char gets as disarming traps gives a nice chunk of experience.
Since I normally don't abuse that I just have a companion take care of that, for which there are multiple good choices like octavia, jubi or noknok.
Edit - perception is also a really nice one to have but I typically also delegate that to someone else
It is more so for the items that can only be found in settlements that I take Perception and trickery on the PC. For example the hidden gems and minor magic items in the first capital map are good but so is the hand item that saves you 25% of all scrolls.
@@CoredumpedGaming
Ah ok, that's a fair point. I'm not even sure I know about that hand item :o What's the name?
It is in the beer mug tavern. The item is called the hand of Magus Dann@@CoredumpedGaming
I shall hunt for this!! Thanks :D
Oh its awesome that you finally got to play this one)) i love your playtrhroughs and guides so much. i have been watching your content almost religiously recently. your piller of eternity videos inspired me to get back into crpgs, and learn things about crpgs hidden mechenics, that i never knew existed. well mostly because i probably never bother looking , or had the capacity to understand the basic d20 mechanics. also flat foot is quite important too i think for assasins.
Let's hope it goes well :D
As for flat footed you are totally right, I forgot to mention that. Attacking a character that is flat footed (or flanked for example) will count as a sneak attack.
Nice to see a competent playthrough! Although I prefer turn based mode.
Thank you :) Definitely pros and cons for real time vs turn based, the eternal debate eheh I just want to mention that what I'm doing in this playthrough would also apply to turn based, in fact, it would likely be simpler in turn based as you do have more control over your actions and generally what is going on in the battlefield.
I was just about to start this game after finishing Deadfire. Great timing! I'll definitely be checking these out for your opinons and ideas. There seems to be a lot less content available for this game over it's sequel.
I'm dropping a tactical comment so I can find your channel back when I'm done with my Pathfinder WotR run.
Strategic comments are the best kind of comments :D
I would say this game is almost every bit as good as BG3. Almost. Kingdom management is somewhat undercooked. Can't wait to watch this playthrough!
keep it coming i am waiting love ur vids plz do 2 a day if u can
I skipped BG3 because… well, because of too many reasons, but I am back to watch P:KM, the game I even never ever properly started. :))
Welcome back friend :D
Hope you enjoy!
Looking forward to this new campaign. I'm ready for it.
Hypee
49:48 i didn't knew about this room ! ! ! !
Playthrough already paying off :D
HI Coredumped. I have played this game and I liked it (not the kingdom management mechanic though). However no matter what I did I could not finish this game due to so many bugs. Same thing with Wrath of the Righteous did not finish it for the same reason. I will never touch an owlcats game again but I am glad to see you are playing this game.
These games do tend to have a few bugs here and there (I'm trying out Rogue Trader as we speak and... it's not a pretty release let's just leave it at that).
But for the most part, at least in my experience, I've never had many issues with bugs in my playthroughs. Though I did hear a lot of complaints about bugs from numerous other players.
@@CoredumpedGaming I am going to watch your playthrough of Rogue Trader since you mentioned it :) When I played the other owlcat games I did not expect a bug free game (I knew about the bugs) but I at least expected a better experience than what i got.
Yeah, so far I've seen some annoyances and visual glitches which is a bit sad, but nothing gamebreaking.
The biggest problem for me to be honest is that given that bugs are expected on theses releases, at times I don't know if certain abilities are bugged or if I'm doing something wrong lol It's going to be a wild ride :p
Ah finally a series i can watch again, after i didn't want to get spoiled for bg3 :D. I wonder, do you feel like kingmaker has a class that feels lore accurate? for some reason i always felt like, a feyspeaker druid or slvan sorceror seemed to fit the story the most.
Enjoy my friend :D As for lore accurate, hadn't really thought about that very much but I get what you mean by the Feyspeaker and sylvan sorcerer. My first thought was actually a Barbarian given their presence throughout the game. But I think most everything works quite well. You are just someone that lives in that world, connections to the first world and stuff are not really necessary in my opinion.
Awesome! Excited that you're doing this! Where did you get your portrait pack from? Did you create it yourself or download?
I got it from a pack I dowloaded somewhere some time back. I actually tried looking for it recently and couldn't find the place I got it from lol. If you like it you can send me an email to my contact mail and I can send you this one
Thanks! It's ok. I downloaded a few from NexusMod already. By the way, how are you going to do your playthroughs now that you started both PK & RT?!
I will upload 1 pathfinder episode on one day and rogue trader the next.
Oh man! Making me wait 2 days between episodes! Ahhh!! What's the reasoning behind not releasing both PK and RT on the same day?
Ahah sorry :p
Well, the reason is actually quite simple. I've been planning and preparing for doing a pathfinder playthrough for the channel. And then, I found out that rogue trader is coming out :p
Since I had already commited to doing pathfinder I didn't want to delay that, but at the same time I'm also really excited for rogue trader eheh
But worry not, today you will have the regular pathfinder episode and an additional pathfinder content video ~1 hour later!
I'm sorry if you already answered this in your video (I might have missed it), but, out of curiosity, why real-time with pause instead of turn-based? Are you planning on changing that when you up the difficulty?
No real reason other than personal preference. There may be times where I feel I may need some control over the fight and in those circumstances I may swap to turn based. Or also if I want to show something in a fight with some more detail. But for the most part I enjoy the flow of rtwp more, I find it more explosive and fun.
Awesome I LOVE this game. I'm playing right now. Superfun. Do you use mods?
It really is a very cool game :D
I only use one mod which is used to simplify buffing on the party. Autobuffer I believe is the name, I show it and explain in the playthrough when I start using it
@@CoredumpedGaming Thanks I use several mods, but autobuffer I don't now how to use it. It´s pretty confuse. I need a tutorial about autobuffer this and metamagic wich I too don't understand how work or what do to your magic...
What did I say some way back? You play all my favorite games. I like this one significantly better than its successor, mostly because of the main story and the characters, which did not appeal to me in WOTR. Also I know its story and maps inside and out, but I've never attempted Last Azlanti. I guess you know what you're doing, but the last chapter on Unfair *and* Last Azlanti seems....extremely unpleasant.
BTW, I'll have to disagree with you about difficulty yet again. Unless you're a general expert at this kind of game, playing the first chapter or two with "Challenging" is an absolute no-go if you don't know the system already, and learning it is *very* much harder than learning BG3. Personally I think the system's complexity is a bit much. I'm curious to see how you will develop your party. This will probably be another long series, LOL. And I also like Amiri.
I also think that Kingmaker is superior in terms of the story and the characters. WoTR for me has some really nice quality of life features that kingmaker doesn't and goes into other categories of character building with the Mythic stuff which can be quite fun.
I have completed Last Azlanti before so I feel at least somewhat confident that I can get through this (if not we shall all mourn the loss of our character lol), but I will be changing to Unfair earlier than I did on my test run, hopefully it goes well.
As for the difficulty, well, just like in BG3, maybe I'm biased given the amount of time I've dedicated to this game. I don't exactly remember too well, but I believe that when I first played the game, after bleeding from the eyes due to trying Unfair and Hard (lol) I changed to challenging and went with it somewhat ok, although of course suffering through the nasty stuff the game throws at you such as poison effects, swarms, curses, etc. (hence why I also mentioned that for Challenging you need to have some tolerance to frustration and trial/error).
Pray for me friend!
I started this game couple of times, but couldnt finish it because art style :/ maybe i will give it a another shot with you :D
Oh that's interesting. Any particular reason? The characters were too cartoony?
yes exactly, especially that little bard gnom at the begining, so annoyed me :D @@CoredumpedGaming
Ahah Linzi can be a little too much at times yes :p And she's a halfling, poor lady!
Are you going for a 'Best secret ending' playthrough?
Hello, this playthrough aims to go for the good ending with the true final boss. Not going for the "secret" one as I've always thought it was too much of a hassle :p I believe the "secret" ending basically only changes end slides as well, not actual gameplay or fights.
@@CoredumpedGaming Dang, I was hoping for the secret ending buttttt you do a great job of explaining systems etc and a Good playthrough is what I want as well so yay :) Gonna follow along with you as I play.
Be sure to pick up Tristian early
Tristian is definitely a very good support early on and I will actually rescue him early on. I do have other plans for the cleric department though.
Algorithm!
Have you died yet?
Also, planning on going unfair on Last Azlanti? I applaud your masochism.
No death yet, playthrough is still ongoing :D
Unfair can be quite punishing as anyone who's played this game knows, but I find it less annoying once you get some levels and gear. Starting at unfair is something I would never do as I just don't the patience for all the cheese and exploits that are basically required if you don't want to reload that much. Certainly not in last azlanti.
You are burying the lead by not mentioning in the video title that it is UNFAIR Last Azlanti. That's a step far beyond Core LA mode.
I didn't mention the difficulty level due to it not being 100% on unfair. Since we will progress into unfair I felt that viewers might feel deceived if the title showed unfair and then I was playing on challenging or hard for a particular video at the start
@@CoredumpedGaming fair enough. It's definitely possible to get through the early battles on Unfair, but like you said there is some tedium and some luck. I haven't watched far enough to see where you actually bump the difficulty up.
