Which adventure path should Owlcat do next?
Even though Wrath of the Righteous has only been out a couple weeks, it wouldn't hurt to just toss out ideas on where Owlcat's Pathfinder series could go next. Personally, I'd prefer if they took a break from Avistan's traditional western fantasy style setting and make a game set elsewhere in Golarion, so something like Skull & Shackles, Legacy of Fire, or Jade Regent.

I'm not sure what form the kingdom building layer would take with LoF, if any, but with S&S they could give you a pirate fort to build up, as well as a fleet. If they skip the travelling to Tian Xia part of Jade Regent and focus on leading the rebellion instead, they could have a system similar to WotR where you raise armies and slowly conquer the empire. They'd have to create new content and quest lines not in the original adventure path to compensate for the skipped parts, of course, and also make some alterations to the beginning (have the npc the player is helping to claim the throne be in an inn in some country neighboring Minkai as opposed to being all the way in Varisia to cut out the travelling). Otherwise, the kingdom-building part wouldn't appear until much later in the game, (Act 4 or 5) after arriving in Minkai and completing the spirit forest, because you'd have to first get through the Land of the Linnorm Kings and the Crown of the World.

Alternatively, they could work with Paizo to craft an entirley original adventure path set either in Garundi or Tian Xia, one that will allow them to include both the kingdom-building and army-building elements and mythic paths.

We got Kingdom Building. We got Mythic. If the next one isn't Iron Gods and Tech, I'll... probably buy it anyway, but I'm waiting for the Numerian adventure!

Agree on Numeria, Its been foreshadowed in both games aswell.
Lightning Sep 17, 2021 @ 7:27am 
Yeah and in both games the numerian items are pretty rare as well

I really loved Hell's Vengeance and its an evil setting and its Cheliax which I really like... so that would get my vote.

Mostly cause its a fave of mine from TT.

Otherwise Numeria does sound great and has a lot of new and interesting elements to offer.

I'm adding my vote for Iron Gods. That is my favorite adventure path. I love the setting and lore.

I like Skull and Shackles a lot too, but I wonder if they would try that since the gaming press post-mortem articles about Pillars of Eternity 2 blamed the lackluster response on the pirates setting. I don't think the setting was one of the faults of POE 2, but that seems to be the generally accepted message.

moving away from typical western fantasy would be fun and I'd be in favor of it though history with this genre's fanbase has shown that pretty much always results worse reception.

I'd like them to finish Wrath of the Righteous, ('ve been looking forward to it. Then maybe do We Be Goblins to get some experience finishing things before release.

Yeah, they should learn to finish things right first. WotR is a bugfest.

surprised no one asked for Rise of the Runelords yet. I enjoyed playing Iron Gods too, but that was largely because I was playing a Vigilante based on Wonder Woman (after she got the chain axe she became post-apocalyptic wonder woman for a while). I think the next game needs to be something that works Vigilantes and gunslingers in.
