picked "rod" as a option for NPC to bring me thinking i'd get a low level rod or something and it gives me
Rod of Power Source 0 charges, always active, 3 Bonus AC (Sacred), +3 attack (but only actually gives 2, also doesn't display on Attack hover), +6 to damage rolls, immunity to shaken

holy shit Ancient Curse Part 6 is wild, if i didn't have my monk tank build so well that would have been 100% wipe every try

New in-depth review by Gamebanshee.

This is one of the very few reviews of this game that feels to be written by a person who actually completed the game and didn't half-ass a review after finishing Chapter 1. I get that its hard for reviewers to invest 100 hours to properly evaluate a game like this, but I'm still mad at all these "professional" reviewers who didn't even try to do their job right, probably because this game is from a previously unknown studio without huge marketing power behind it.

Patch 1.1.0h (16 November 2018)
  • Dear pathfinders,

  • We are happy to inform you that Version 1.1 is here and ready to be shared with everyone!

  • We are eternally grateful for your patience. The bugs and other technical issues you've encountered can not be tolerated, since they ruin immersion and spoil the fun of playing the game. We apologize for any frustration they could have caused you, and we'd like to once more reassure you of our commitment to fix all the remaining problems. We hope you feel the same way we do - we were inspired by true pillars of the CRPG genre, and we believe that with hard work and dedication, this game can become worthy of their lineage.

  • We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took part in the Beta test for this version. Your feedback is truly invaluable to us! More then 60 unique issues were fixed thanks to your reports since the beginning of the Beta. And we've also out around 200 other unique suggestions and issues on our task list for the next patch (unfortunately, we can't fix everything in a glimpse, so we prioritize and address major issues first). We'd like to highlight that we carefully read through bug reports threads on Steam and GOG forums, as well as the official forum at owlcatgames.com and the fan-run Discord group, in order to record all the issues described there. We can't answer all the messages personally - sorry for that! - but, just to be clear, we ensure you we care about everything you post, and eventually we will address all reports.

  • To make bug reporting easier, we've decided to keep the internal bug report form in the release version. There won't be a "Bug Report" button as in Beta, so as not to clutter the interface, but on pressing F11 you will be able to send us your thoughts together with all the required information (screenshot, save file and logs collected automatically).

  • As soon as Version 1.1 goes live, we'll continue working on Release 1.2, which we expect to deliver around Christmas. Meanwhile, we will keep addressing newly-found critical issues in hotfixes and other updates. Stay tuned - there will be more news about upcoming updates pretty soon!

  • Sincerely,

  • Owlcats.

Also does anyone have any tips for the quest there? The wisps are a fucking nightmare, honestly. I need rest before every encounter tp buff my chars against electricity. Its not fun and im kinda 50/50 will I just drop this stupid quest.

This is the only part of the game thay legit feels very badly designed. Why would make an enemy who is tooootally immune to all magic (except m.missile) and who cannot be hit like at all. Such horseshit..

you can do any elemental damage just like the spider swarm from the beginning of the game or have a monk use it's skill to bypass things. Just having a monk saves you a lot of trouble in most things. also resist scrolls will make your life easy there and another part where you fight a wizard and it's clones

Bought the game at last. I'll wait until the December patch to begin playing.

Have they ever patched the area where you had to kill small enemies with your torch? I read that it was annoying to fight through.

That was overblown. The guy who has the quest has a bunch of alchemy bombs on sale for 25 gold each. You just give each of your characters 3 of them and roast the swarms. Or avoid the area until after you get a fifth party member, which is almost immediately after accepting said quest should you advance directly to where a plot npc tells you to go. The quest giver gives you bombs for free and there's a warning before going in the cave that you need aoe attacks now (if that wasn't the case at launch), so there's little issue with that encounter now.

Interesting. this game can run on relatively weak hardware, so those ports shouldn't be too awful.

After the most recent patch, I've noticed load times (especially that initial one) are better. Still on long side, but better.
It also fixed some of the bugs I've had in my playthrough.

I also appreciate the cleaning up of the kingdom management UI. It's nice.
I also like the redone inventory art for the equipment. It's easier to see that there's a difference between various pieces of equipment. Like the difference between a Int +4 and Int +6 headband is easier to discern.

Season pass announced.

GOG Link for Season Pass

Steam Link for Season Pass

DLC #1 - "The Wildcards"

Ardent adventurers of The Stolen Lands will soon have the chance to play the first new DLC! Featuring a new playable race Tieflings, a new playable classKineticists, and of course combining a race with a class, you get a character! Prepare to welcome your new companion, the Tiefling Kineticist who comes, just like every other companion, with her own rich and engaging storyline.

Oleg Shpilchevsky, Head Of Owlcat Games explains, "A new playable race. During the poll to decide which bonus race we were going to add to the game, one particular option was requested a lot (besides the winner - Aasimars): Tieflings, the people with a drop of demonic blood in their veins. They didn't make it into the base game, but became the natural choice for the first piece of post-release content."

DLC #2 - "Varnhold's Lot"

A new bonus campaign. While celebrating your victory at Jamandi Aldori's mansion, you've met another hero of the Stolen Lands: the mercenary captain Maegar Varn. While you're building your barony in the Shrike Hills and Narlmarshes, Varn and his people are establishing their own nation of Varnhold in the rocky foothills of Dunsward. What did they have to face? Play this new story, and export the consequences of the choices you've made there into the main campaign! This exciting new side story is about the size of one chapter of our main campaign and will take 6-12 hours to complete, depending on your playstyle.

DLC #3 – "Beneath The Stolen Lands"

A new game mode. Sometimes you want to play a story with memorable characters, rich lore, and a complicated set of choices and consequences. But then there are days when you just want to grab a sword, cast some spells, and destroy a horde of monsters! This DLC will introduce a rogue-like randomly generatedendless dungeon, complete with a new unique boss. You can explore it in a separate game, or as a part of your main campaign. How deep can you go?

The Season Pass and the first DLC "The Wildcards" is due to be released on December 6 2018.

DLC Information (*dates are estimates and are subject to change)

DLC 1 – "The Wildcards" On sale December 6, 2018

I'm only 2-3 hours in but really enjoying it. I find the story and characters more engaging than Divinity os2.

This is exactly what I imagined a Pathfinder game would be like. The default portraits are seriously lacking though, can't even find a female Orc portrait among them.

I got a set of Bracers + 1 but it seems like you can't get the bonus if you are wearing any armor at all? AC only goes up if I equip the bracers while the character has no armor on.

You can only have 1 protection bonus active at a time. So for example if you have +1 armor, a +1 ring of protection and +1 bracers you're only going to get the +1 from 1 of those items, not all of them.

Maybe it's a bug then. I'm familiar with those rules from D&D but here it's counting base armor as having a protective bonus when the armor isn't enchanted in the slightest.

Bracers dont stack with armor. They're a monk or wizard thing (well actually with how easy it is to get mage armor up, those bracers are pretty much vendor trash)

This is incorrect. Bonuses of the same type don't stack (except for dodge bonuses) - but a Ring of Protection confers a deflection bonus, not an armour bonus like bracers of armour and actual armour.

I'm assuming these daily hotfixes would probably nuke mods, right? Kind of want to install the mod that boosts out of combat movement speed but I'm thinking it would only last a day or so with the frequency they seem to be updating the game.

I've been eager to pick this game up but was holding off due to the sheer amount of bugs, but with it being on sale atm and the most recent patch would now be a good time to bite the bullet? (I still expect bugs and patches. that wouldn't necessarily bother me)

This game is great! I just got my land. It feels a lot like the original Baldur's gate, which I like.
Story is intriguing so far, but there are a lot of names and things to read.
Characters are fun to interact with, I still don't like dwarves so I never talked to the dwarf guy.

CMB / CMD are for special moves in-battle like grappling, tripping, disarming, etc.

CMB (Combat Maneuver Bonus) is for the aggressor, CMD is (typically) for the defender although in tabletop rules the recipient of a grapple can try to take control of it.
For almost all combat it won't matter unless you have a character that specializes in one of those moves or you're facing enemies that trip etc.

Using them can be pretty powerful, though. With a lucky roll you can completely disable an opponent - e.g. disarming an enemy deprives them of their super-enchanted, feat-specialized weapon and forces them to make cruddy unarmed attacks. (of course, disarm is totally useless against many foes).

Raise dead requires a complete diamond.

It's a holdover from older Dungeons & Dragons editions. The Material component for a Raise Dead Spell has been a diamond of varying values.
D&D (and by extension, Pathfinder) PC games tend to gloss over Material components other than the expensive ones.

I was on a quest which made it impossible to visit the vendors in your capital. No other vendor that I have encountered sold diamonds or ress scrolls. I was actually able to save scum my way through the stupid quest. I still have the second part left though..

So a tip to everyone: always keep atleast 4 save scrolls with you the game can lock you out of them for a long time.

Also I have like 70 diamond dusts so if that were the case, I could go moon and back with them.



Also any idea how the DLC will work? Will they be qursts that activate on boot?

i never once used the actual raise dead spell in 3 playthroughs only the scroll, and only used Stoneskin with diamond dust

but i also replaced all pre-made characters except Linzi

The games's user score on steam is recovering exteremly well for the last week or so, although it will take sometime before the recent user score reflects that.
I might jump into this game once there is a slower month, probably March, because Sekiro is coming out near the end of the month.

DLC 1 and 2 sound great, but the last one doesn't seem to be my thing at all.
I love combat in these games, but a rogue like mode sounds like a pretty terrible idea to me.

I'd say it depends on how they do it. For example, I really liked the Endless Paths in PoE and that big tower thing in Throne of Bhaal. If the levels are assembled of unique pieces like that and there are enough pieces, generating them randomly could work really well. They did say there was a unique boss, so it's not all completely random.

I'm only 2-3 hours in but really enjoying it. I find the story and characters more engaging than Divinity os2.

It's amazing how better the plot is compared to DOS2, when NPCs start blabbering about the Source I couldn't care less but in this game I find myself reading everything. I guess that's the advantage of having years of Pathfinder lore to draw from

Chapter 2 content (not completed):

I've heard Harrim's quest (visit the dwarven ruins) has a time limit and I have no idea how long I've had it, so I'm trying to prioritize it. Jubilost evidently also has a quest there, so even though I don't particularly find him useful I'm swapping him in for Linzi also.

It's weird to me how this section opens up so quickly - you visit the wizard guy and find Ekun and then you have information about all the different troll-affiliated areas (including dwarven ruins, which presumably is the end of the chapter?) it's a pretty big contrast to Staglord where there are so many prerequisites to getting to the end.

My current party is Valerie, Monk Merc, Harrim, Sorc MC, Ekun + Jubilost. I wish this game kept some kind of statistics on damage dealt / enemies killed by character, since I suspect overall the monk and Ekun are carrying everyone else, while it's rare for Valerie to do much beyond provide flanking. Harrim seems useful only as a buffer/post-combat healer (maybe I'll give him a reach weapon to safely flank), my Sorc MC provides good burstiness (and keeps people enlarged/mage-armored, using acid splash to finish trolls), and I'm not quite sure how to use Jubilost. At least Jubilost is good for skill checks.

I think Ekun is my favorite character so far, but I'm a sucker for a simple and compelling motivation. We'll see how he does now that his main reason for joining up is resolved.
