You know a game is going to be fairly simple & straightforward when the new player guide is almost 2 hours long...

[thestew]

I work a roughneck job. My coworker taught me a trick...puttin my phone inside my hardhat. I can hear everything even with ear protection on. Thank you for this

[jairusstrunk]

It's important to remember in all tabletop RPGs "The rule of fun" Don't stick to any rule that isn't fun for you.

[alexblades]

"Remove condition on rest" options, plus the one to remove conditions after combat were the options that made this game enjoyable for me

[makidiaz]

As someone who has played divinity and wasteland 3 thanks to Morty, so far the most difficult part of this game is figuring out how and what to use to buff yourself before battle. There are so many spells my goodness, the games story and dialogue and scenery is absolutely amazing, this is one heck of a high quality game

[EPICSAWIKI]

There is a certain flare of sincerity in all of your reviews man. After beating BG3 I decided to look back and play one of the CRPG’s I missed out on and just every video you put out is so informative. Really appreciate it.

[DeMause]

Man, to be honest I would totally watch a 4 hour video of you going through every class in the game. I am reasonably experienced with the pathfinder TTRPG and have over 200 hours played in WotR but I still learned a lot.

[MANUELEYTOR]

It's clear why 5E and BD3 were unusual successes in the RPG industry, simplicity goes a long way attracting people to these systems.

For someone who's tried to start 4/5 playthroughs in the past year on PC but bounced off everytime, I can't describe how MASSIVE of a help this video is. Was always looking for something akin to this. Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️

[MuteProtest]

This was like an answer to my prayers. Started playing yesterday, and this was exactly what I was looking for. When I saw it on my youtube feed this morning I was like how did i miss this?! Until i realized you just released it. Thanks so much for the great content as always.

[digitallorin]

It's worth mentioning that taking *only* "several days" to put together a video that is almost two hours long, well scripted (or well-spoken if not necessarily scripted), engaging, and informative, is an absolute triumph of focus. Thanks for putting this together - I remain 'on the fence' about this game after watching this video, but it was tremendously helpful, and an excellent indicator of what I'm in for should I take the dive. Sub-earning content right here, to be sure!

Thank you for what you said at 3:23. I am so tired of people telling me I am not real gamer, because I prefer easy/story difficulty. The mythic path guides were really useful, especially the devil. Now I will not run around panicking with my current character, looking everywhere on the map and not understanding why I cannot find it (I chose to be a lich for the first ascension).
I usually don't comment on videos, because of how needlesly rude people can be. But! you are always so respectful (and informative), that I felt, it is safe the join the discussion. If I ever work up the courage, I might comment on some of your other videos. < 3

For poison: you can suppress the effects of poison with delay poison. It will usually expire by the time the spell is over. Even better: preventively using delay poison makes a character immune to poison and that spell lasts a long time.

[Julian-cney]

Great video! Would love an 'Intermediate player's guide' to help cover the mid and high levels of the game, and what's important to success at that part of the game. Low level PF plays a lot like DnD, and the concepts are simple, but once you get to level 10 or so, and you have so many abilities and levels to play with, it's hard determine what's important and not important.

[jhonrock]

By default, this game runs in real time with pause mode. Playing as that, I found this game quite hard even on normal dificulty. Changing it to turn based mode made the game A LOT easier. And the most curious thing about this is the fact that A LOT of skills/spells that seemed to be useless while playing the game in real time, became increadible usefull while playing on turn based. Certainly because the pathfinder system was built to be played in turns, so, not all skills/abilities/spells would translate well in a real time scenario.

[shawnjohnson]

I’m a veteran of the system and I always watch these videos because sometimes there are little details I miss. Like extra enemies giving more xp, I hadn’t even considered it (though it obviously makes sense.) I also keep an eye on them as easy crash courses for table top players. Obviously not all applicable but a lot of the mechanical stuff is the same.

[riviar]

This video actually made me feel better about dying hopelessly time and time again. I picked a core difficulty thinking this is how the game is supposed to be played and I regularly run into situations that easily, if do not kill the entire party outright, kill at least 1 or 2 characters. And ress scrolls/diamonds are a royal pain to bring and use.
If this game is not designed to be playable purely on good tactics and choices, and you are left on the mercy of the RNG, then I am fine with lowering the difficulty without hurting my pride.

[slappypants]

You're the man!!! I tried out kingmaker. Got most of the way through but after learning more about the game realized I'd messed up my main character and some companions. This tutorial has been unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much

[TheEvilShepard]

After struggling with Pathfinder for a while, I stumbled upon this video and it helped me a lot. Now I have completed the game and it's become one of my favorites, so thanks for making it easier for some of us :)

[stickydude]

Man you're amazing! I'm waiting for a console release and this is going to be a life saver. I remember playing Kingmaker, I was so lost and the game was incredibly confusing for me for like 20-30 hours until I felt comfortable playing and ended up restarting it. You are going to help many people, including me. Thank you so much for your work and I hope you're feeling better!
