Pathfinder Kingmaker – A Dream Come True For Every RPG Player, New And Seasoned?
(ongoing Development / Discovery Blog, post will be updated, so bookmark π )
December 30th 2017 – A First Look At The Alpha, Impressions

By some stroke of luck, this game found me as I found the game – weirdly missing its Kickstarter Campaign, I got contacted by the Owlcat Games Team. One of its prominent members: Chris Avellone, a name a few of you might know, a very important former Black IsleΒ Studios member (Baldur’s Gate…) and recently, Co-Designer of the massively successful Divinity: Original Sin 2. Having only recently discovered Pathfinder: Kingmaker’s existance, I cheered fate and went to communication happily, welcome to the Alpha π The ALPHA – this looks already REALLY great! Too good for an Alpha!

And now the legendary Chris Avellone and his team are taking on the Pathfinder system, based on the old Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 / 3.5 system, often thought as the most accomplished and fun system there is and still played on many gaming tables. It’s a crazy feeling for someone playing Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder for so long to see that system too come to fruitition in a computer roleplaying game. What a great opportunity to have new players enjoy the infinite possibilities of such a ruleset and game!

In its fullness of detail and immersion it seems made for the computer, and not only often hardcore Pen & Paper players. Saving you a lot of hassle to learn this system by heart in Pen & Paper you can now – SOON! (2018!?) – enjoy its full power and enchantment and immersion in the coming Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

I am enchanted, thrilled, thunderstruck by this opportunity. A feeling of unreality is there, and a want to bring this game to as many players as possible. Give it a try, or already a buy (you can pre-order) if you like deep immersion into story, also if you love to tinker and to optimize. If you’re new to “old hardcore” DnD, this IS your golden opportunity to have great fun without having to know it all by heart.
Now you say: Give me some ingame screenshots after all that hype and.. here they are π
As you can see, I tried the Advanced Rules.. and died in the tutorial mission π
As it should be!
Happy Gaming to you – see you in another update soon, your
