KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[frajaq]

Game is officially vaporware, 0 news in months

 

[Anomander]

It's supposed to come out this summer.

 

[vonAchdorf]

They are touring cons at the moment - E3 and now Unite in Germany. On VK there are more updates (mostly concept art), it seems they prefer to write in Russian.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I'm sure others will hate the exaggerated weapons and heads

Yep, i do. The art is fucking garbage.

Doesn't help i just replayed Icewind Dale.

 

[Bocian]

It's not the art that got most of my attention, it's the phrases that VA's are supposed to read. If that's the style of writing we can expect from the game in general, then, well...

 

[fantadomat]

Bocian if you want good writing play spellforce 3.

 

[Life of the Party]

"The name's Ekundayo, Ekun for decent ones. Used to be a carpenter in the Bristlehill village. Trolls attacked. Killed everyone but me. Will show them that was a mistake."

Remember this bridge. Used to cross it every day. But then the plague hit.

Eh, these new ones have a certain charm, but no denying that it is night and day between this and the IE portraits.

 

[Sacred82]

concept art doesn't really say shit about how they look ingame.

 

[Life of the Party]

It used to. Back in the day. But then the plague hit.

 

[LESS T_T]

Steam page. Yes, Deep Silver is publishing partner of My.com:



These screenshots are new, I guess?

 

[Abu Antar]

Good to see something else than only screens of grassy areas.

 

[Infinitron]

Same release date they announced in the Kickstarter, very impressive.

Some people won't like the very simple-looking textures but they make it work. Better example of infamous Underworld Ascendant "authored look"?

 

[LESS T_T]

Yeah polycount seems lower and lacks modern effects, but it has very effective art direction.

Btw press release does not mention release date: https://www.kochmedia.com/en/2018/0...distribute-upcoming-rpg-pathfinder-kingmaker/

OWLCAT GAMES AND MY.COM TEAM UP WITH KOCH MEDIA / DEEP SILVER TO PROMOTE AND DISTRIBUTE UPCOMING RPG PATHFINDER: KINGMAKER

My.com and Owlcat Games team up with Koch Media / Deep Silver to promote and distribute the upcoming, critically acclaimed role playing game Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The game is the first isometric computer RPG, based on the highly popular Pathfinder Roleplaying Game by Paizo Inc., one of the world’s greatest fantasy roleplaying games.

“We have ambitious plans for Pathfinder: Kingmaker. We want to reach out to the maximum number of players across the globe, making it easily accessible, whilst at the same time maintaining the expected quality, to do right by its fanbase. Working with Deep Silver ensures we can step up our retail marketing and benefit from the unique experience offered with KOCH,” said Head of Owlcat Games Oleg Shpilchevsky.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker will take players on a tour through the infamous Stolen Lands, the dangerous and turbulent territories well known within Pathfinder fandom. The computer RPG will revisit familiar characters and well-known locations of the series’ lore as well as treat players to brand new adventures, deadly foes and unforeseen twists and turns. Fans of the fantasy pen-and-paper RPG will experience its epic, heroic universe in new ways while computer RPG gamers will discover their favorite genre in a more contemporary light.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker will challenge players as both adventurers and rulers as they will be able to claim explored lands and carve their own kingdom from the wilderness. Kingdom founding will go beyond simple stronghold-building to become a true reflection of the hero’s character and choices made throughout the game. Each kingdom will be a living thing shaped by alignment, choices, allies and the hero’s ability to lead his or her people.

I like it. The art style is a bit cartoony, but detailed enough that it looks like a conscious choice and not just a technological limitation (avoiding flashbacks to NWN's 3d models).

Pre-order delayed, release still targeting August:

 

[frajaq]

no no no I can't pre-order another RtwP game to play at launch like PoE 2, what if the same bullshit happens

 

[Hobo Elf]

Then don't. It's not like they will run out of digital copies if you don't pre-order.

 

[M. AQVILA]

Undead guards? This gives me the urge to do an evil play through. Maybe being a necromancer will actually matter in this game.

It's a strangely tied slipknot that doesn't actually tighten at all when the victim is hanged.

Just lol if your first playthrough won't be a Lawful Evil one

 

[deuxhero]

So for the people who paid money to beta test: How are Paladins handled? Do you actually need to follow the Paladin code (Ala ToEE)? Do alignment shifts within game even exist (yet?)?
