How non-beginner friendly this game really is?

Something about this game calls me but I'm not that experienced in crpgs and I've never played Pathfinder. Basically I played Bg3 and really liked it which made me want to try different crpgs and I'm currently playing Pillars of eternity which I like but I generally like to play many different games in same time. Everywhere I go I see that Pathfinder is excellent game but it's really not beginner friendly but I'm just wandering how hard of a threshold it is; I'm generally really open to watching YT videos before playing a game so I don't have a problem with spending few hours trying to figure out mechanics but the way people talk about it is like even that will not be enough.

I was also wondering should I buy Game of the year edition

Midnight Isles, Time/Aging islands.

How do you deal with these Islands, I’m at the last set of islands, and this condition just sucks, your whole party gets staggered after like two fights for the whole island, walk at a snails pace, and can be cured only by greater restoration… but that spell cant be used by a staggered character!

This is just… such nonsense.

I do enjoy this game, it is fun, but some fights and enemies, or gimmicks are a bit way overtuned. XD

I am only on Normal.

I cannot imagine this game on higher difficulties. xD Some fights like at the Echoes of fury place, practically needed nat 20’s, and Nat 1’s from enemies to win. Haha I mean even with buffing.

Unable to be targeted by a healing spell or buff in WotR

Has anyone run into this?

I’m a level 14 Kitsune Angel, and I’m pretty far into the game. I always play turn-based, but even out of combat, I cannot be targeted for any healing spell or buff. AOE and spells that target self work fine, but when I use any healing spell/buff from any character including myself, it’s acting like I’m not even there. I’m playing WotR on Switch 2.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Silk Burns Faster Than Bodies (A dark/comedic Demon Path focusing on companion PoVs)

Yo wazzup! I recently finished a 62k-word, 19-chapter Demon Path fanfic and just started uploading it to AO3.

The premise: The Commander is a cheerful, affectionate, walking natural disaster without a moral compass (I'd phrase it as an Amoral Azata).

Rather than writing a 2-million-word play-by-play of the entire campaign, the story is written as a series of connected vignettes. It jumps through the early acts pretty quickly to focus heavily on the grim reality of the late-game (act 4 and 5).

The twist is that you never actually get the Commander's PoV. The story is told entirely through the eyes of the companions (Seelah, Anevia, Daeran, Wenduag, Nenio, etc.) as they try to survive, use, or fix her. The only look inside the Commander's head you get is through her aggressively oblivious, bubbly, absolutely non-diegetic (as one actually educated beta phrased) diary entries at the start of each chapter.

Igni doesn't want to rule the world. She just wants to have fun, keep her favorite spider-cat close, and set boring people on fire.

But absolute freedom comes with a body count. Daeran realizes his protector is worse than the monster in his own head, Wenduag discovers the terror of a master who refuses to hold her leash, Arueshalae's fragile faith is shattered by a predator who effortlessly rejects the Abyss not out of any principles but because Nocticula killsteals her, and Seelah watches her holy war turn into an abyssal occupation.

The manuscript is 100% complete, I'm posting chapters weekly, currently 6/19. If you like dark fantasy, unintentional comedy (Nenio is always hilarious), character studies, and seeing how the companions react to unhinged KCs, you might enjoy it!

#####Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/93130306

A short excerpt, one of my favourite scenes from the 11th chapter that gave the title to the whole work:

> Diary: Ugh, palace meetings are the WORST. Shamira acts like scheduling is a personality, yapping for like HOURS, and Nocticula kept trying to do that whole 'I'm disappointed in you' mom-stare, even tried to ground me (lol as if). You don't steal a girl's goat >.< > > And then Shamira was being rude, so she went poof too. > > Daerie got all stressed because I melted some ugly curtains. Nobles are so dramatic about interior decorating. -.-" > > Like, babe, it was hideous anyway. You're welcome! <3 > > > > "I must say, my dearest Commander," he said smoothly, "watching you dismantle the local governance is thrilling, but did you have to melt the silk tapestry? Some of us appreciate the decor." > > Igni laughed, looking at him as if he had just asked a remarkably stupid question. > > "Silk burns faster than bodies, Daerie," she said. "You can't vaporize a demon without the curtains catching." > > Daeran’s smile remained precisely where it belonged, it just stopped reaching his eyes. He had cast a probing political line, and she had literally just answered him with thermodynamics. > She had decapitated an ancient empire, and she possessed absolutely zero object permanence regarding any of it.

Not sure if the fanart flair is the best flair, the _Story flair contains different posts.

is this softlock?

They say I need to liberate drezen but enemy armies surround it and I can't beat them. My army is too weak for this and I have no money to hire more. You need money to build army and you need army to earn money. How are you supposed to have any of those if you lack one of them? Do you get funds automatically? Without fights? I can't get funds without an army and I can't get an army without funds. And I dont' want to replay the entire act 2 for 20 hours to make a couple of different choices that would save more of my army. How to even complete it?

I see there is an option to make the crusade automatic but it says it will softlock you from some quests and achievements. What are those quests or achievements? Are they important? Will I even get the achievement for finishing the game if I turn this option on?

Cosmic Arueshalae by MIONART

Just a very beautiful art commissioned by me all the way back in 2022, depicting post-game Arueshalae as the Herald of Desna fighting a battle somewhere in The Great Beyond.

Amazing artist: htt ps://v k.ru/mion_art (remove the spaces; not sure if that’s allowed here, but, unfortunately, I am not aware of any other social media used by the artist)

I probably should have posted all my commissions from the past five years somewhere…

Camellia by Xincere

Since there is very little Pathfinder artwork available for sale, I decided to commission a piece. This is Camellia descending into a pool of blood by Xincere, who is simply brilliant and was a pleasure to work with.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Noob question - Will my Kingmaker built (SFMonk1+KMSaiRouge4+Slayer15) works for 1st play-through?

After the long ride it took to complete Kingmaker and a hiatus of some months playingsomethingelse (Bg3/GrimDawn/DarkDu2) , I feel ready to start my first WoTR campaign

I will be play on Normal since I'm "familiar" with the depth of the rules and on real-time with pause (otherwise combats will take forever)

The character creator is really daunting and I would play something I'm familiar with 😅

WIP WOTR Custom enemies, areas, quests and campaign?

Been working on this on and off for a while and thought I'd share where it's at.

It is a bit mashed together at the moment and buggy but the videos shows a new intro, a new enemy and model and some edits, such as Deskari with a top hat.

New Boss / Model and Area edit (model is Veigar from league of legends)
Custom Area and Level
Alternative intro / quest / model edits (quick demo still buggy but playable)

This is very early alpha/WIP, with no public release yet. Mostly wanted to see whether people would be interested in something like this. A campaign creator is something I’d like to explore down the line too if this got enough interest, before putting weeks into something like that.

What do you guys think? and do you have any suggestions of what you would like to see?

New Level / Area

Custom Intro / Cutscene

Custom Boss / enemy
