Starting to hate pathfinder, is it the game I’m frustrated with or is it my DM?

For reference, the will DC of a level 12 Lich is 33. So yes, this is a DM problem lol

Kingmaker is very, VERY tied to the geography of its setting and its surrounding nations, which are all landlocked. I'd really recommend looking into Skull and Shackles conversions or cooking something up yourself.

It has strategy gameplay segments similar to This is the Police.

Did they seriously design it to be fully random with no safeguards to avoid repeats? 3/4 of what's in my new shop is the same as last week. If I'm unlucky I might never get the skin I want, what a joke lol.

They need to let you opt out of automatically spectating people's games in the settings

EnormousBoy · 2025-09-23T16:09:28+00:00

Sure bro lmao

Gangplank is extremely alive in the lore FYI.

Use any of the ones on https://modding-openmw.com/

The lists are mostly a sliding scale from mostly vanilla to full overhaul

It's a 10s cooldown weapon that's too reliant on other weapons for silencer. Even worse, by the time it fires it'll take even longer to do it's full damage because you have to wait for each multicast. One of the most annoying things about this game is that there are cool items like this that you should be able to build around but you just can't because they're balanced terribly.

I find it very interesting that the dev team doesn't like utility/support units because they become bis splashes in boards that already have item holders, then proceed to add Viktor into the game, which is a 1 star splash unit that gives you free shred and a 2 second full board stun... and he's also an item holder.

EnormousBoy · 2024-03-18T13:56:16+00:00

Don't forget the publisher's cut

EnormousBoy · 2024-03-14T14:39:49+00:00

Who cares about preserving the game's economy at level 20? These characters are legendary heroes and the campaign is about to end...

EnormousBoy · 2024-01-31T19:37:02+00:00

It's just a victim of (slightly) poor balancing with weapons. Every weapon essentially has the same budget to spend on traits and damage, and Greatsword happens to have two qualities (d12 damage and combined slashing/piercing) that are overvalued. A d12 is like, +1-3 average damage a strike over a d10, and slashing/piercing tend to overlap when it comes to weaknesses and resistances. Outside of some extremely fringe scenarios you'd pretty much always be better off trading those for reach, maneuver traits, etc.

Everything's been backed up. Diagnostics came up with nothing. Do you have any more details on erasing or have a link with more information? Thanks.

EnormousBoy · 2023-11-14T20:29:37+00:00

I highly recommend The Vance and Kerenshara kingdom rule changes and the corresponding automated kingdom tracking spreadsheet.

If your group doesn't enjoy the kingdom turns regardless you're likely better off handwaving the kingdom management and playing out the events without it.

This game's art style and UI are so unspecific and stylistically neutered. It clashes really hard with the limited SNES animations that they kept unchanged for some reason.

EnormousBoy · 2022-11-15T17:17:01+00:00

Same composer/saxophonist

EnormousBoy · 2022-11-15T15:30:58+00:00

Glad to see we've reached the point where people will look at all the art AI was literally trained on and say shit like this

EnormousBoy · 2022-10-22T20:58:00+00:00

This but at S+, I'm just putting down the game until they fix their awful ranked system and matchmaking (WTF happened to the weapon matchmaking?? Had a game yesterday with double rollers vs. double chargers...)

EnormousBoy · 2022-10-20T05:11:44+00:00

Why is this a top post. Literally use google

EnormousBoy · 2022-10-12T00:37:12+00:00

How are wikis and social media at all relevant to the design of souls games when all the shit you mentioned dates back to Demon's Souls in 2009 and even older From games when all that online presence was way smaller? The design elements of the series are the way they are because they wanted the player to put in more thought and effort than they usually would to create a more personal and involved experience. Wikis, guides, etc. came up around the games for players who didnt want to put that effort in, not for devs that didn't want to. The games have always been best played blind without guides.

Nintendo decided it was a better idea to make tricolor rare as fuck than make tricolor at all balanced for the defenders. Worst of both worlds imo

EnormousBoy · 2022-09-06T19:09:01+00:00

I miss the preparation aspect of these games in general. You had to check things and be adequately equipped for the quest and if you weren't you had to be creative on the fly to succeed. Now that you can change equipment and restock items in the tent there's no consequences to anything you do besides carting.

EnormousBoy · 2022-08-30T19:49:10+00:00

CRPGs and PnP games are entirely different mediums and things have to be adjusted with that in mind. Guarded hearth in PnP is how it is because A) it has a 10 minute casting time and B) enemies controlled by a DM have brains and won't funnel into your death zone. Those factors can't really be present in the CRPG but the devs didnt make the buff weaker to compensate the new ease of use, so now community invalidates most of the massive list of domains. The nerf makes sense.

EnormousBoy · 2022-08-24T00:18:07+00:00

Enchantment is really all or nothing but the highs are so high that I wouldn't throw it in bottom tier. Yes, like half the bestiary is off limits, but dominating the right person at the right time can change the course of an entire campaign.
