This forum appears to be overrun with the vocal minority of haters which somehow always happens when a truly great game is released. I want to do what little I can to restore justice.
You're mistaken. This a forum that allows constructive critique and that critique helped shape the game you love. Did you know that Larian planned to release a DnD game WITHOUT REACTIONS? That draft one allowed people to heal themselves inside of combat by eating pig heads?
The game got better because fans provided constructive feedback.
Myth #3) Pathfinder games are better.
I've only played Kingmaker thus far. From what I've seen, I doubt that WotR is too different.
Cons:
- Boring companions. A free tip to Owlcat: it's good to make a story based on a P&P campaign, it's bad to make companions based on the examples from Player's Handbook. A bunch of walking tropes and cardboard cutouts isn't exactly what people dream of traveling with.
You need to check out the WOTR and travel with the companion Daeran. He gives Astarian a run for his money. This isn't to say that all of the companions are great but I really liked Daeran, Ember and Seelah.
And the end boss of WOTR was sooooo much better than the squid and brain it's not funny. I like both games but WOTR is the better despite Faerun being the better setting.
