Pathfinder Kingmaker – Enhanced Edition Free Download Unfitgirl I was pretty excited to play Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It’s based on the ruleset of the tabletop RPG Pathfinder, which I’ve never played, but the fact that I’ve never actually played Dungeons and Dragons hasn’t stopped me playing countless other CRPGs based on that ruleset either. The game promises an epic story, dungeon crawling, loot, countless spells, even political intrigue! Anything that has both political intrigue and giant spiders is always worth a look, in my opinion. Originally releasing on PC almost two years ago now after being crowd funded in 2017, the Definitive Edition release for consoles comes with expansion packs and other DLC that was added after release, making it somehow even bigger. Make no mistake, Pathfinder: Kingmaker is gargantuan. The world map is split up into 13 regions and I spent all of chapter one (which took me five days to finish) in just two of them. That might give you an idea of just how big it is, but even outside of the actual size, the ambition behind the game is staggering. On top of the whole RPG thing, which some might say is plenty complex already, there’s the management of a kingdom to think about as well. If you want to and you know what you’re doing, you can conquer and rule the whole continent. Thankfully, its difficulty is customisable, so if you don’t want to spend time managing your kingdom you can make it easier so it doesn’t take up so much time, or just set it to automatic and focus on the combat. It’s worth giving it a try though, as it is very rewarding, both in regards to acquiring cash or loot and it gives you a unique perspective on how the overarching storylines are playing out compared to other games.

Kingmaker comes with 16 classes that include all the usual suspects and then some. The more unusual of these are the Kineticist, who channels elemental energy, or an Alchemist who can throw area of effect explosives. Each class then has four archetypes, so instead of a “standard” Rogue you can have a Eldritch Scoundrel, who can not only use a rogue’s finesse weaponry to score sneak attacks, but can actually channel touch spells like Shocking Touch through it as well. I settled on an Eldtrich Archer, who does the same with ranged touch spells like Ray of Frost and his bow, and proceeded to immediately make mistakes in designing my character. Thankfully there is a respec option available, which now works after a game update. Character creation is detailed and flexible, provided you know what you’re doing. Occasionally the game neglects to tell you certain things during creation, such as when I was making a cleric with a side of fighter to gain their armour proficiencies, only to learn that the archetype of cleric I’d chosen couldn’t wear any armour at all. Much like kingdom management, if you’re a bit overwhelmed by managing the stats and skills of your character and all your companions you can set them to automatically level up, which will do just fine for a playthrough on standard difficulty. Soon after you start playing, you’re booted off to the Stolen Lands on a quest to defeat its current ruler, bandit leader The Stag Lord, and then take over the region. This initially seems like the main story and it could be in another game, but in Pathfinder it turns out to be the very beginning of a much grander plot.

About Pathfinder Kingmaker – Enhanced Edition

The gameplay really opens after conquering the Stolen Lands, letting you roam the world map and even capture resources in your territories. Mercifully, it is an actual map that you use to travel between locations rather than just a gigantic world to walk around, though you’re open to random encounters whilst travelling. Once you enter a location, combat will start once an enemy sees your party, and here’s where things get a little odd as Kingmaker has two combat systems. Either you can let your party of up to six characters manage themselves in real time, pausing and giving orders when necessary, or you can slow things all the way down and play turn-based. The turn-based mode was added after release, though the game apparently simulates the turns under the hood when you are playing real time anyway. It feels far more tactical and gives you more control, so I actually stuck with it, but you can swap between real time and turn-based at will. The only real issue I’ve had with combat is that harder battles tend to manifest their difficulty by having your characters constantly miss; you can go through multiple rounds where multiple characters will fail to hit with every attack. It’s obviously down to the luck of the simulated dice rolls, but it’s immensely frustrating. There’s also a bug I kept bumping into where I occasionally give an order to a character to attack, so they should walk to the target, then attack, but the character just wouldn’t attack after approaching, despite the UI telling me that it was within distance.

Sometimes they wouldn’t even move, but either way you basically miss out on a turn for that character whenever it happens. You can remedy this by not trusting the game’s UI and manually doing the walk and attack separately, but that shouldn’t be necessary. Eventually you will unlock kingdom management, at which point you basically find a decent strategy game in its own right layered on top of everything else. Events appear that can affect the wellbeing of your kingdom, dignitaries from other kingdoms will visit to play politics or throw barely-veiled insults, and you even build upgrades in settlements that receive bonuses based on how you arrange the buildings, which then all has knock on effects on the kingdom as a whole. You assign party members and other characters to advisor roles, then assign those advisors tasks and jobs, each of which takes a certain amount of in-game time. Then you wander off and go adventuring whilst they’re doing it, hopefully returning just as they finish but more likely a week after them and… Oh! Now the kingdom is on fire. It’s deeper than it has any right to be and it is honestly a little overwhelming, but as mentioned earlier, it can be customised to be easier or just be automatic. Just don’t neglect it entirely, because if your kingdom falls, it’s game over.

That’s where I have a bit of an issue, though.

The timing of those advisors’ tasks against the length of in-game time spent in dungeons is often just a bit annoying. You can’t manage your kingdom from a dungeon, so you’ll just have to hope nothing serious happens while you’re busy fighting 20 trolls. It takes more than a few in-game days for your entire kingdom to fall into ruin, but you never know, you could just be mid-quest when the weight of all your poor decisions comes crashing down upon you. Those last few days could make the difference and having a game over on the end of many hours of involved strategy and seems like it could result in a save file that’s in an unwinnable state. Thankfully, you can make your kingdom invincible in the difficulty settings to ensure that doesn’t happen. What’s not so great are the continuing reports of broken save files and progression halting black screens, despite a recent update aimed at fixing them. Personally, a respec bug has now been fixed, but I’ve lost progress through game crashes after the patch, and taken to saving before leaving areas and accessing kingdom management. We shouldn’t really have to fight against the game to experience it properly. If you’re familiar with classic Infinity Engine RPGs, playing Kingmaker is like slipping into a familiar old pair of adventuring boots. The muscle memory I developed playing Baldur’s Gate for hundreds of hours came straight back to me: backspace to select the whole party, R to rest, space to pause combat, holding tab to highlight all the interactive objects in a room.

The game wears its influences proudly on its wizard’s sleeve, and even has Planescape: Torment’s Chris Avellone on writing duty—but what Kickstarter-funded RPG doesn’t these days? The game begins with a band of misfit adventurers and mercenaries, yourself included, being challenged to conquer and name themselves baron of a disputed territory called the Stolen Lands. The story gets deeper over time, with warring factions and political intrigue complicating things, but you will eventually reach the point where you can construct and manage your own barony. Other than that, this is as comfortingly paint-by-numbers as computer role-playing games get, with monsters to slay, dungeons to crawl, towns to explore, and mountains of descriptive dialogue to click through. Kingmaker is based on Pathfinder, a tabletop RPG released in 2009 as a response to divisive changes to Dungeons & Dragons’ 4th edition. This means the real-time with dynamic pause combat, like Baldur’s Gate and its ilk, is based around rolls of a virtual 20-sided dice. On lower difficulties you can almost play it like a real-time strategy game, pointing and clicking your way to victory, rarely pausing. But nudge the difficulty setting just a notch higher and careful, strategic use of abilities and spells is essential—often unforgivingly so. This is a brutally difficult game in places, to the point of feeling unbalanced, which developer Owlcat is addressing with a barrage of hotfixes and patches.

And yes, there are companions too, each with their own personality, motivation, and alignment to consider.

Amiri is a chaotic neutral barbarian who screams “Blood for Gorum!” as she charges into battle: a deity she believes imbues the steel of her sword. Linzi is a chirpy chaotic good bard who chronicles your adventures in a journal. Jaethal is a neutral evil undead elf with an understandably morbid attitude towards mortality. And, naturally, if your actions conflict with any of the eleven available companions’ personal beliefs or alignments, they’ll confront you about it or leave the party altogether. When you create a character you choose their alignment, but it can change depending on the choices you make. You can start out neutral, but shift to good or evil if you behave a certain way. And your alignment also links to speech checks, revealing or hiding certain responses based on your moral stance. There’s a lot of nuance to the conversation system, and as you might expect, this is a game where you spend a lot of time talking to people—from idle chats with townsfolk to life-or-death situations. In the prologue you’re accused of several misdeeds and have to defend your actions: a nicely constructed demonstration of how people will respond to you based on their alignment.

Similar to Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity, some of the story takes place on the pages of a book. These little interactive fiction interludes are well written and illustrated, and a way for the writers to show you things beyond what the game’s regular top-down perspective will allow. These also incorporate checks for your party’s various skills—athletics, diplomacy, perception, and so on—which can dramatically alter the course of the story. The writing in the game is, in general, solid and full of character, but a little flat compared to the beautifully rich, evocative prose seen in genre mates such as Pillars or Torment—which are, admittedly, hard acts for any RPG developer to follow. As for managing your barony, you can be as hands-on as you like. It’s possible to simulate this part of the game entirely, but do it manually and there’s a hell of a lot to get involved in. You can give your companions jobs, and their alignment will dictate how they approach the role. You can draft trade agreements with other towns, or even pillage them, giving your barony an appropriately bad reputation.

You can construct and place buildings in villages including granaries, taverns, and watchtowers, all of which generate money for you. Granted, it doesn’t have the depth of a full-on management sim, but it does set Kingmaker apart from other games in the genre. There’s a lot to like in Kingmaker, and it’s clear the dev has a passion for this classic era of PC role-playing—which, in the case of its often absurd level of difficulty, isn’t always a good thing. But it hasn’t grabbed me as firmly as those games, or recent examples of the genre’s resurgence such as Divinity: Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity. The story, visual design, and setting offer little I haven’t seen in a dozen other fantasy games, and I wasn’t as beguiled by it as much as I’d hoped. Once upon a time a good CRPG was hard to find, but now we’re slightly spoiled for choice and Kingmaker doesn’t quite stack up with the best, even if it does get a lot right and throws a few neat new ideas into the mix.
