This game will always be special to me and my friends. My tabletop groups very first campaign was a homebrew thing my DM made over a decade ago that was basically this story but without mythic powers. So when WoTR was announced we all had a good laugh.

My God, the Build Planner/Saver bit is something they must implement for future games. Haven’t found mods that cover that either.

[@StreamingGenie]

I'd definitely agree on how combat basically just feels like a number crunch, when the Tower of Estrod right in Act 1 actually shows that they COULD do more with the environment in or pre-combat. Being able to sneak around the side of a group of enemies, position your party members in the most advantageous positions (archers/spellcasters on a ledge, melees blocking the only path up), before using the environment to wipe out a third of the opponents before combat even starts (pushing a collapsed pillar to crush a few demons)? There's so much missed potential in more encounters around the game being like that, and it's why that part of the early game stands out as one of my favorite encounters in the game. Not a bombastic encounter with a Demon Lord, not a story-critical conflict, just this little band of demons and cultists sitting in a ruined tower. But because you can tackle it from such an outside-the-box angle, it becomes that much more memorable to me.

[@swiat86]

Best crpg that has a sense of adventure, memorable companions, an outstanding soundtrack, and high replayability. I love it, it must be one of my favorite games of all time.

[@Baraz_Red]

+1 to the idea of build blueprints that the player could prepare and edit anytime ! (and import or share) That would have been so awesome and popular.

[@javiernovoa8756]

I think Pathfinder 2e really simplifies all these systems and I look forward to a CRPG interpretation of that

[@Llortnerof]

And conversely, a lot of the entry barriers in this game are really down to PF1 being the underlying ruleset. I really hope we get Larian or Owlcat or a similar studio doing a PF2 CRPG.

Games like pathfinder should be right up my alley, but I always get the feeling that there's a lot of complexity just for the sake of complexity that leads me to disengage. I can certainly appreciate what others like about it, and I'm always im the lookout for Owlcat's future releases

[@Thalaranthey]

thats the charm of pf1e. the amount of content and virtually limitless possibilities with builds within pf1e made me unable to enjoy any other ttrpg, especially pathfinder 2ed which is among one of the most limiting ones. For the same reason i love path of exile. But i get why for some people its off putting... that being said imo you can enjoy this game on standard difficulty and ignore intricacies of character building focusing on the more approachable side

[@CC_Reads]

Honestly at a certain point if u just let go and ignore all the stuff u don't understand u will have more fun and will learn it along the way.

[@wahahabuh]

You can pick a more straightforward class e.g. base fighter, base wizard, base cleric etc and be fine.

[@Ocean5ix]

Look up a build similar to what you want to role play online and copy it. Then play the game and search how to deal with enemies as they show up. It is a very complex game but it’s not impossible like people say. I beat this with 0 tabletop RPG experience and 0 CRPGs played before. This was the game that made me a fan of the genre and now I’ve played almost all of them.

Thanks for everything, Mortismal ! You deserve what came with your passion around this game, and that includes my sincere admiration. What I would add in the positive list (or a nuance for the negative one) are the purple words and info tags that come with them. My first playthrough of BG3 was all raging frustration about my lack of knowledge on the lore, and I realized how ingenuous WotR was on that part.

[@HuaYunlan8]

Play it a map at a time during new game downtime. There is no reason to race to the ending.

[@yoursonisold8743]

I will say, when I bought the game 2 years ago and tried it I was overwhelmed. I have played plenty of RPGs, but this one really seemed too much. The first 5 hours or so are really unpleasant, tedious, hard to follow and dull. I put the game down and didnt touch it for 2 years. Finally I got some time and decided, why not give it another chance? And I did. 200 hours later I can say this game is definitely one of the best. But you have to get past that initial barrier and that is not something new players like to hear. If someone finds the game too cumbersome or confusing, play it on the lowest or a custom difficulty, automate the level ups for companions and mess around a bit. See what feels more comfortable. And don't be scared of looking things up. The game is too long to expect you to make mistakes that cost you 30 hours later if you don't like those surprises.

[@toniviskari417]

Excellent look back and came at a good time for me as I'm also in the middle of a replay, just finishing Chapter 4, so it is fun to hear someone else's thoughts on the game at this stage. Personally, while I've been playing, it has been weird reminder about a larger issue I have Owlcat in that I like their game despite the encounter desing rather because of it. Like their encounter planning is weird in that it introduces these wild difficulty spikes and, especially in this game, at times in segmented fights. And while I'm so experienced with the game that even playing with Core, there are still out of nowhere these encounters where I can't figure out why they felt something was necessary. To give an example, a difficult one due to wanting to avoid spoiling the game, the final fight of Chapter 4 is a really difficult one in a way that makes sense. But when I finished it, I was relieved because I had two dead companions, but two resurrection scrolls which I was willing to use for that occasion. Except then I realized that the boss had cast baleful transformation on my clerical spellcaster companion and turned them into a dog. With such a high DC for breaking it that it would been essentially fishing for a 20 even with my current party and with no way nearby, at least in my current recollection, to break it and ages from actually having access to someone who can help with the matter. So there I was left extremely frustred and puzzled why did Owlcat feel that was a crucial thing to have in the encounter or why not give that way to address it if you did. Sorry about the rant, it's just that again during this replay on multiple occasions I am left wondering who is the core target audience in Owlcat's own mind? And I write that without even touching on the starting fight of Lord of Nothing.

[@lukusridley]

Good timing - I have never played pathfinder but I have played 100 hours of so of WOTR starting a couple weeks ago. And all I will say is magic missile; look at what they did to my boy... I just wanna blast... I don't wanna use battering blast, I want to shoot MAGIC MISSILE Fun though I absolutely disagree about the complexity of character creation, because that's something I love seeing as a new player - it's just like "oh there's going to be so much fucking around in my future" lol I would say that for enemy-specific things EG fey adding mouseover tooltips saying "this enemy is not very common in the areas in which the campaign takes place" just to make it so people have a fair warning they're going challenge or roleplay by choosing it. My core complaints are: - It's pathfinder. I never liked 3.5ed - mandatory buff stacking is just a waste of everybody's time - and pathfinder really hasn't fixed this. The different buff stacking categories actually reduce choice in practice because you essentially "should" be taking a buff of every type at the highest level that can apply, and there's usually only 1-2 best candidates. This is not all downside - I like some of the pathfinder changes to base dnd, and it's a throwback kinda feeling - but the core system annoys me - The lack of an ability or spell queueing option. Having kotor/kotor 2 style 2-3 move queueing so you can just select a character, give them a sequence of things to do with targets - would go a LONG way to obviate the lack of... - customisable companion AI. I love RTWP but I would love it a lot more if I could just set up fairly basic priorities and actions for my characters - Lack of out of combat ability utility. But this one is straightforwardly not their fault given the budget and scale of the project, so it's not "they did this badly" as much as "I wish it was more" - Inconsistent voice acting feels odd but the voice acting that is there seems quite solid? I have no major complaints All in all the game was much better than I expected, and I have been enjoying it. I don't understand why I can't rub Camellias face in all the weird stuff you find at her house when you know it's her house but I guess they had to delay that one. I love the puzzles but an option that unlocks on completing the game you can choose at game start for "puzzles auto-solve" would be a nice nod to replayers

[@kjwonka]

I’ve owned this since release and I have not played it hardly at all. Gonna watch this review and see if I can get myself into it.

[@igorlemes1123]

honestly haven't played this game before but have, since it's release, played BG3 and Disco Elysium. After being done with SOTE and stumbling upon one of your videos on WotR I decided to give it a shot this week (steam sale). all I can say is thank you, this is a great game and I'm having a blast - currently on chapter 3, Sohei Aeon path :D edit: in the perspective of a new player, who never played TTRPG and just a 3-4 cRPG, it took me a while to understand what was going on level ups - like, when do I get my extra attacks, what's the advantage of leveling a certain class vs multiclassing (which dont seem to be that advantegeous?). but honestly, the amount of different classes is really exciting! I'm not even done with the game and want to just start the campaign again with another character. I know I've used the character creator multiple times by now

[@Llortnerof]

Multiclassing can be utterly broken if you combine the right classes... mostly by abusing base class features that really shouldn't be able to work together. It's a large part of the reason it works entirely different in second edition Pathfinder. (In 2E, multiclassing is done through feats rather than taking class levels in a different class) They already curbed some of this stuff by disallowing things like stacking different class features that let you use alternate stats for AC, but this part shows that the original system was created with the assumption that there would be a DM that curbs the more excessive abuses.

Even after over 200 hours in BG3, I can still easily say that I love Wrath of the Righteous more.

[@MrSheduur]

This is probably the best computer rpg ever made thus far. BG3 is nice and all, but if you like BG1+2, Icewind Dale1+2 and games in that style, then both of the Pathfinder games are absolute worthy successors and Owlcat managed to stay true to the spirit of these masterpieces while expanding on them where needed, and they created a level of presentation that is absolutely god tier. Along with the fantastic looking interface which fits the title so very well. I normally do not love the epic levels 20 and up, but this game managed to actually make it fun and enagaging to play at these levels.

[@octobre1971]

This is a great review, it isn't flawless but it is still a great game.

[@imALazyPanda]

Your choice in gods even if minor having some effect on gameplay is one of my favorite parts of this game.

[@Erosgates]

This is currently on PSPlus & I can play it for free. I’m a huge RPG fan & am contemplating taking the dive into such an undertaking

[@TheRamstorm]

Really want to see this game through to the end. I played Kingmaker but couldn't finish as I hated the time-sensitive missions and the system is very overwhelming for new players (this may have been a little after I'd played D:OS2 so I was still getting the hang of CRPGs). Picked up Wrath on release since it was a chance at a fresh start and the setting/Mythic Path system was perfect for a Paladin enjoyer like myself, but took a ~year long break after getting stuck towards the end of Act 3 and generally feeling lost/losing interest. Picked it back up again and have been playing in small bursts now in Act 4 but I'm not really feeling invested my playthrough anymore. I may just end up restarting my character and try again, this time actually engaging with the Crusade management system and using the auto-buff mod since trying to figure it out mid-playthrough with everyone at level 14 wasn't cutting it. It's definitely a lot to try to get into (the Hearts of Iron IV to Baldur's Gate 3's Civilization if you will) but as you said there really isn't anything like it and I feel like it's something I could enjoy if I can manage to break through that learning barrier.

Great stuff.

[@wezacker6482]

D&D 3.5 is my 'home' ruleset, so I *love* the Pathfinder system (they are very similar). I like the number of options at character creations, and the 'specialization' of different classes. That being said, I hear you on the complexity for new players. It's a lot... and I LIKE that it's a lot. I'm being selfish here! ;) While I enjoy the character creation, combat & even the overarching story is good enough, my biggest issue with this game is that the relationships with your companions & other NPCs feel a little thin. The rest of the game is THICK though, so maybe this is just meant to be more of a tactical game than a RPG, which is perfectly fine! You can only focus on so much. Tactics are fun too.

[@kain7759]

I would want the official PF archetype rule: you can have more than a single class archetype as long as no 2 of them modify the same feature, then you can play a proper infinite healing Oradin (Warrior of the Holy Light + Chosen One or Hospitalier Paladin + Divine Herbalist Oracle 4)

I finally got WotR this steam sale because of your videos. I first got only base EE, got to Drezen, then got the season pass 2. Gotta say, Kingmaker's timers conditioned me to be efficient with my rests that I managed to take Drezen early enough to get the achievement without trying to. I thought I was taking my time leveling my general lmao. I agree there are too many options, not only for classes but also for feats. I feel that a lot of options and feat chains exist just so that Paizo can say that you get to pick something every level, even if the thing you pick is just a prerequisite for the thing you really want. In this regard I prefer D&D 5e's approach of giving you few feats but each choice is meaningful, although I admit that during my playthrough of BG3 leveling up and immediately going to the end screen for level up without any choice felt a bit lame.

Well I have it trying to decide if I want the dlc. I am figuring out the character creation .I prefer to make my own character. I think I made an ok character. My character is chaotic good. The character creator is excessively complex. However I am debating starting over although I just made my character last night. I may watch videos first like character creation where you make your own so I make the optimal character for me. There are too many modules/DLC some of them need to be repriced. I added some more modules but not all of them. I may add the others later. I spent around 60 dollars on the dlc which I feel was excessive. I added the ones you recommended plus the commander pack .The pack may not have been worth it in retrospect but I hope the others are. Thanks for your complete effort.I will watch your other videos on this game.

I would like to see a new game with pathfinder 2e setting and ruleset, but maybe that's just me. Nice video, thanks. 👍

I've tried to play this several times, but never got past the beginning of Act II. I really enjoy most things about it and don't know why I stop each time. That said, every time I watch one of your videos on it, I think I should give it another go.

One of my favourite games, one day I'll see what the last two thirds are like.

I feel that toybox is 100% needed for this game, just yesterday I was going through blackwater and I got through one of the fights but the last enemy refused to die, I wacked them for a solid 5 min but they just layed there, they ended up having -5,000hp by the time I said screw it and opened toybox to click instakill. this saved me reloading ~20min and through 2 difficult fights.

@@JasonPeters-s9z I've cleared just about the rest of it, none will just stay laying down for 20+ turns and 5 min of real time combat, it was an unnamed incubus. I've had others that will go down and come back up but that's not what that one did.

As someone whose first language isn't English, it's exhausting to read through a large amount of text in games like Kingmaker and WotR. I believe that in the next Owlcat's game, having voiced dialogues could make the game more accessible to a wider audience. I appreciate what Disco Elysium did in this regard. After the game sold well, they used the profits to add full voice acting to the game.

pathfinder is just an amazing series, i enjoyed kingmaker even more btw

[@Elthenar]

Thr overwhelming complexity and depth of the game and story is it's greatest strength and biggest flaw. To someone like me, who has been doing D20 since the beginning in 2000, this is great. To a new player who has never seen the system before, it is probably a nightmare

[@protoroc]

Reading really gets me more involved with the story even if its just a time commitment bias.

[@marioaf27]

Loved the game but didn't finish because of the system. I wish it was 2e, where pre-buffing is way less prevalent. Even with the module, it was a chore.
