This is funny, I was eyeing Kingmaker, looking at classes and thinking about what fun characters you could play. I can stomach some mouthy companions, though don't really care much about that.
Are these games really that bad with this shit? I'm currently playing PoE and enjoying how it's not about inpersonal drama and sex scenes.

Both kingmaker and wotr last like 150 hours you'll get tired of it towards the end as it just keeps going and going

>>737103320
its fun for the first 30hrs or so but once you get deeper into the mechanics and the story you realize it's crafted - almost on purpose it feels like - to be as tedious and time consuming as possible

as if they were purposefully aiming for some sort of absurd play time quota as part of their promise. i was looking at rogue trader and they are advertising 130 hrs of gameplay and my heart fucking sank because thats the game i wanted to play next.

t. OP

>>737103320
they're not, it's just /v/ being contrarian like always

This is simultaneously one of the most interesting RPGs I've played and one of the worst games of all time. I only feel compelled to go back and finish it because no other RPG has an entire story based around you ascending into a lich, dragon, devil, angel, living swarm etc. with branching paths based on which one you choose.

>>737102784
>every NPC to stop talking, accept death
So you picked Lich then?

>>737102784
Isn't this the woke cuck game?

>>737102784
I loved it overall but it unironically took me almost a year of on and off playing to finish it. Crusade parts are a boring slog and frankly I hate PF as a system, I feel like I'm allergic to pre-buffing now.

both pathfinder games from owlcat are like that. haven't played rogue trader yet, but wotr and kingmaker are giga pozzed
wotr more so

I've been meaning to do an ultra modded extreme power fantasy Unfair difficulty run for a while now.
Start at a higher level, increase the level cap, do gestalt, enable archetype mixing (which is an actual thing in the TTRPG?), etc, but I can't quite think of what kind of character I'd like to play with so many possible combinations.
What are the bare minimum things you need for a regular successful Unfair run?

>its fun for the first 30hrs
This.
I gave up after the tedium of war management. If I wanted to play an extremely crappier version of HoMM, I would play that - let's me dungeon dive ffs.

Archmage armor on every character without a mount.
A control caster with absurd caster level.
A bard or a skald , possibly both if you want to hit bosses with melee characters who can't attack touch ac.

I'm playing a Bloodseeker and plan to go Legend, since I don't want to give up my dick on the Lich path, should I go Two-Handed Fighter, or mix it with Assassin or possibly something else?

>>737110402
why would you want ASSassin, it sucks even after the buff

>>737111785
Mainly just to progress Sneak Attack a little more. Do you have some better suggestions?

>>737111962
Vivisectionist is what you want.
Same sneak attack progression as rogue, tons of feats and stats and ac buff you get from mutagen.

>>737112116
Yeah, Vivisectionist is kind of like Scaled Fist in how many classes can dip into it. I'm still considering Two-Handed Fighter, but I imagine the buffs and the extra Sneak Attack damage are probably more worth it than the Fighter exclusive feats.

>an entire class dedicated to one particular fighting style
Miss me with this shit.

Couldn't be me

2 handed fighter is really great too actually. That double strength on hit scales incredibly well with crit builds .
Grab the gravesinger axe and smile at 500+ dmg on critical hits.

>>737103620
You're pretty close to correct on your gut feeling. I've played and beaten WotR (put 200 hours into it) and I gave up on RT in act 5. To be fair, I enjoyed both of them greatly, but man. They are not fucking around with game length.
I might just be too old for this shit.

Speaking of gestalts can you combine two handed and titan fighter? I'm not sure whether legend allows you to combine them
