Would people recommend Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous for someone who was just "okay" with Kingmaker, prefers turn-based to RTWP, and doesn't like individual combat encounters lasting more than 2.5 hours?
I like what I see online about the choices and build options, but I am worried the length of combat and the overall crunchiness of the Pathfinder system might make the game too time-consuming.
I liked Km, but absolutely LOVE WotR. The quests and the areas and the companions are so much better. Even the strategic level of the game, the crusade and its management, are actually fun to handle (at least on the lowest difficulty setting for the crusade). But as for combat encounters, yes, as @mrfuji3 said, quite a few of them are tough in terms of both difficulty and quantity of enemies. But, if you are willing to (a) lower the difficulty setting as and where necessary, and (b) use RTwP for encounters with many easy enemies, then the combat can be quite fine. Lowering the difficulty is how I play the game, and always using RTwP because that's what I like.
Same, minus the RtwP. While I despise Owlcat's business practice of releasing a broken game and only fixing it 1.5 years later, it the now fixed game is amazing. Right there next to BG2 in terms of quality.
In KM turn based mode was an afterthought and TB was something of a slog. It's much, much better in WotR In WotR I only play RtwP on the first maze otherwise it's turn based for the rest of the game.
Like @mrfuji said battle are really won or lost on how well you buff before battle so downloading a prebuffing mod will make your life much easier.
