Cohh Gives His Thoughts About Pathfinder: Kingmaker

[Blondesax]

This kind of vocal, public recognition of hard, hard work to make a turnaround happen is so, so necessary! There are a lot of incredibly skilled and dedicated people out there, and they deserve to be appreciated for their efforts!

CRPG's are making a comeback! Pathfinder, and now Wasteland 3 with Baulders Gate 3 coming soon! Makes the 90's kid in me very happy.

I totally agree. I've been a huge HUGE Baldur's Gate 2 fan since it's original launch. For me, personally BG2 was always the best cRPG ever made, until I gave Pathfinder Kingmaker a try. I was surprised how quickly I told my friends that Pathfinder Kingmaker has at least the potential to be en par with BG2. They never ever heard me comparing any game to BG2 so far in all those 20 years. I told my friends, even invited one of them to play with me together on a rainy afternoon, so he could see what an absolute amazing game this was. After I finished my first playthrough I immediately rolled a second main character, increased the difficulty and started my 2nd playthrough. Without taking a break. Not even BG2 could do this to me ... I'm at 300+ hours now total, and I have already planned a 3rd playthrough ... You like cRPGs? GET Pathfinder Kingmaker. N O W!

Just finished the game, some tips: visit all map locations, for this, boost perception as much as you can, boost persuasion because a lot of exp comes out of it. For your main Character don't play anything crazy, play a barbarian or something like that. Make sure you have a cleric, everything that gives or offers passive or active freedom of movement get it. For the advisors use the right people, for example the warden should be someone with high constitution (look for the right Stat for each role) . On Kingdom mgmt try to rank up stats as a priority, then problems, then curses, then projects, then opportunities. For rank ups, after 40 level ups you will get a project to reduce the time to 7 days instead of 14. Don't stress over time, it's manageable. FINISH all companion quests and always pair Jaethal and Tristan on their companion quests.

Thanks to you Cohh I've started playing PF:KM and after 30h+ I am really thankful for that. It's a great game, and every time I discover something new, but damn sometimes fights are really hard.

Bought Pathfinder and started playing it. Loved it and enjoyed your videos on it. Helped me out a lot. Rolled a duel wielding Ranger. Found a Midevil deadpool portrait and made him madman chaotic neutral character. Was so much fun. Some of the CN lines of dialogue were spot on for DP. Thank you for the videos. Gonna roll a new toon and tear through it again. Maybe Lawful good.great freaking game! Thank you again for the videos!

[asibintrent]

This game is a classic now. I will definitely play through it again. I had to stop when it first launched too, started playing again when Cohh did and loved it.

[DGDfan]

Cohh's passion is awesome! Love the streams and the channel :)
Loved both the breakthroughs and I'm excited to do my own withing the next couple months

[daemonredfield]

I played through it once, uninstalled it. Nearly 2 years later, re-installed with the Turn Based Mod, went close to 300 hours with it.

[martianmanhunter]

I'm now completely convinced that anything Chris Avellone touches turns into solid gold..

[justincarlozmaxino]

I bought this on launch it was a loading screen sim in a buggy mess
I am still playing now this but still haven't finished it
I lost count how many times I restarted
I love how they allow mods and not lock out achievements

I am now on my third play-through of this game. My first, I had to quit during the end of Act 2, I was maybe 60+ hours in. Bugs. Lots of bugs. My second play-through (about a month later) I had to stop about midway through Act 4, the storyline of which I was LOVING. Bugs. Lots of bugs. I was playing hard difficulty my first run, then challenging for my second, cause I was so anxious to catch up to where I had been. Fast forward to now. I am now at the beginning of Act 4, on hard difficulty, another 80 hours into the game. I have not encountered ONE SINGLE BUG. The load times are exponentially improved, the quest issues have been resolved, the sheer amount of work OwlCat has done to get this game to this state blows my mind.


Now, I'm not Cohh, this isn't my favorite CRPG of all time...however, it is REALLY GOD DAMN GOOD. I personally think Divinity OS:2 ranks just above this on my list of best CRPGs of the last 15 years because of how original it is, the multiplayer support, and the mind-boggling number of ways that combat can go depending on party and skill composition. HOWEVER, I think in it's current state, this incredible game is better than Pillars of Eternity, both 1 & 2 (both of which I really enjoyed), better than the Witcher Series (let the hate begin, even though I do love 2 and 3, so deal with it), better even than Dragon Age Origins which I've put so many hours into it makes my head hurt thinking about. Larian Studios, Obsidian and now OwlCat have proven themselves to be fan-centric studios in my opinion. They are committed to their games, their fans, and their fans' feedback. CDPR has been the only studio I've been able to say that about until the last couple of years, since Bethesda, Bioware and Blizzard all seem to have completely lost sight of making good games for the fans, instead of games that are designed to make them more money and pull the wool over their customers' eyes as they greedily stretch their hand out to your wallet.


In summary, BUY THIS GAME...and follow-up...OWLCAT RULES!


Can't wait for Outer Limits and Cyberpunk 2077 - but who's coming out with next great Fantasy CRPG? Thoughts?

[stochastic]

All the timed quests mostly ruined the game for me. I feel like have to constantly stress about what quest to do next rather than explore the world or do what I want.

[Muftaay]

imagine being a developer and hearing these words, must be one of the best feelings ever.

[JerreMuesli]

Now that it's -50% on Steam, I was searching for a recent review as the gaming industry doesn't give you lots of second chances.
I know the game was bugged in horrible ways in the beginning, but lots of people also realize that the developers did not give up on it which is remarkable.

[hah-vjhc]

I came around to play Pthfinder Kingmaker once again after I watched this video a few weeks ago and after learning about that big patch with the turn-based option. I had played the game when it came out and did not finish it, not quite. Almost finished it, i should say.
In this current state, the game is on the same level with Baldur's Gate 2 for me. It is that good. he developers have done an awesome job to fix the game, and furthermore add to it in so many ways. During this new playthrough, I can feel the effort put in since release on every corner of the game.

[kasdikana]

2021 and i'm still playing it alongside other games. this game is just good.
