Kingmaker doesn't have a good story? Are you joking? a story involving the Feyworld, something mostly neglected on CRPG's, involving ancient curses, ....
I assume that's sarcasm.
And fighting the same mob? There are a lot of different mobs on kingmaker, and even when they repeat the same mob, they invent something new. Eg, the undead cyclops, fighting then on open field is completely different than fighting then in a dungeon with nasty traps that cast cloudkill which can damage the living but then are immune. On RPG codex, kingmaker is the 13th top rated rpg of all time (

It's a long game. It might be longer then they have actual content for. I gave en example: Old Sycamore which is multilevel dungeon filled with same enemy composition over and over again. So far, I haven't seen anything that level of bad but the Sycamore was Neverwinter Nights1 kind of bad. And from heard I didn't see the worse Kingmaker has to offer yet. Maybe the game just gets so much better (content and story wise) but after over 40h of gameplay I don't have high hopes.
As to the list - I am not sure what it's singificance is, even if RPG Codex had any weight with me (never visited it, so it doesn't) it doesn't change how poor experience Kingmaker was for me. I played most of cRPGs, and Pathfinder is easily one of the worse ones. It could be that it's just not my kind of "Dungeon Master".
Like any NON APRG?
DOS2 for eg, i din't played much.
I didn't enjoy DoS2 either, but I think that overall idea is sound to me - the bigger issue I had with systems rather then how those systems were expressed (meaning - through game space, rather then under-the-hood dice rolls).
