Is Pathfinder: KIngmaker worth playing now?

[Movistar]

Or do you think its best just to start my Pathfinder career with this new addition?

[strata]

Yes, I strongly recommend it. I'm playing it right now as a "warm up" to the sequel. Its a great crpg. Very classic feeling.

This one is better. However, kingmaker has been around for years and has no bugs, something you shouldn't expect for a game released today. The gameplay is almost the same.

IMO Kingmaker is a very good game.

While there were issues at the start, I have completed the main game 5 times and done almost every achievement now.

However I don't think it is necessary to play it first. These are 2 different games with different themes, but based on the same ruleset. You can play both, or just the one that fits your personal choices better.

I played Kingmaker once. I went back to play it after beating the beta of this game and it did not compare well for me. So, on one hand, this game is much better. On the other hand, I'm not sure how much fun Kingmaker would be after playing this game, since this one (even just the first four chapters) is so much better. It might make more sense to play Kingmaker, since it is nice and stable now.

Imho you should play Kingmaker first. It is a great game.

I played Kingmaker 1 year after release. Everything was fixed and I only encountered 1 minor bug in the Varnhold DLC ( I could just loot a treasure without doing the puzzle)

But you can start with either . Although it could be harder to enjoy Kingmaker after Wrath since it will have less classes etc

I prefer Black Geyser (early access) and BG2 EE because of their affordable price, then will play the Kingmaker series in a row later, staring with Kingmaker since I enjoy seeing how the developers evolved throughout the process of creating their titles. WoTR looks fantastic anyway but I'm on a budget. :(

Definitely worth if, IF you are able to enjoy a true cRPG in the vein of the glory days of this genre, i.e. complex, deep and not a bit spoon-feeding.

Definitely one of the best cRPGs of recent years.

to the OP, why do you have the nickname of a spanish phone company? hahahahah!

[lazarusblack]

Kingmaker is a good game. It has shortcomings, like most games. If you are happy to put off playing Wrath of the Righteous immediately, I'd recommend playing Kingmaker first.

Not for any continuity reasons, but because there will be features, improvements and changes between the two titles, that, if you play Wrath before King, you may find King difficult to go back to and enjoy in the same way you might, playing it first.

[Gaven]

Its probably one of the best crpg on the market atm.

[Mago]

If you haven't yet, definitively yes!
I just got a bit bored about repeating the same story again and again (especially some parts of it)...but if for you that's new.....

[HellSlayer]

Maybe if you dont burn out playing two huge games. If i would play kingmaker now I would be full until next year for another game of this type.

Yeah it's not bad really, excruciating in parts but overall a fine game.

I really enjoy some of the mods as well they're weirdly good. Most often they add solid features from the PnP rules.

I second this thought. The mods are really great for Kingmaker. If you play that I highly suggest you browse through them and find some fun looking ones.
