You will meet two new companions and a number of helpful NPCs who wont join the fights but may be helpful with other tasks if you learn their strengths and weaknesses. Hide, scout, and use everything you can find to lead your new friends through the ashes of Kenabres. [previewyoutube=ygYesIWfwWQ;full][/previewyoutube] To start playing this DLC, you need to have either the Season Pass for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous or Through the Ashes DLC separately in your library along with the main game.

He is greatly concerned about the fate of the universe and the danger, that the powers involved with the Worldwound pose to it. You will visit Axis, the native plane of Valmallos and other Inevitables, and you will face truly mythic challenges because in this DLC you start as a 20 level hero with full mythic powers. Enjoy the new story, test your builds against powerful adversaries, and import your achievements into the main campaign by unlocking new powers! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1889980/Pathfinder_Wrath_of_the_Righteous__Inevitable_Excess/ You can play Inevitable Excess both as an addition to your main campaign and as a standalone adventure, but you still need to own Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous to be able to play it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1184370/Pathfinder_Wrath_of_the_Righteous/ The Inevitable Excess DLC is also included in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Season Pass, so if you already have it, you can start playing right away! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1694801/Pathfinder_Wrath_of_the_Righteous__Season_Pass/

Pathfinders! Even if you finished Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the adventures are far from over! We are currently finishing the development of our next game, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, an indirect sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The new game takes place after the events of the first one, in the kingdom of Mendev, to the North of the Stolen Lands. Besieged by demonic armies, Mendev and its Queen Galfrey have been fighting in numerous crusades for almost a century without much success. Will you be the one to turn the tide? Gather allies, gain incredible powers, and stop the demonic invasion or bring doom upon Golarion! The choice is yours. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous will become available on September 2, 2021. Visit our page and add the new game to your wishlist. Mythic powers await you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1184370

In this minor update we are fixing the issues reported after the release of 2.1.7:

Miscellaneous

• Some premium edition and DLC items did not appear in the game. Resolution: fixed.
• Sometimes incorrect messages about effect immunity appeared in the log. Resolution: fixed.

Pathfinders, Since the last patch, youve been asking us to allow you to switch to the previous version of the game, so you could continue playing with your mods. And now you have this option! Please go to Pathfinder: Kingmaker properties, then go to the Betas tab and select 2.1.5d beta to go back to the previous version.
Keep in mind that if you already played the new version and made saves in it, then going to the previous version may break those saves, and you may have to load earlier saves then. We are hoping this will help you finish your modded games until the mod creators update the mods for the new version.

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below!

Areas

• Fixed the issue of how a secret cache in the statue of Torag near the Ruined Watchtower was displayed.
• Fixed the issue when the camera could go under the ground in Lake Silverstep Village.
• Fixed a critical issue related to the characters movement in the Jamandi Aldori's Mansion area.
• XP was given incorrectly at the House at the Edge of Time area. Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed errors in the dialogue with Jamandi Aldori at the Flintrock Grassland area.
• Sometimes the entrance to Trolls Lair failed to appear. Resolution: fixed.

Quests

• Fixed the issue due to which events of the Deal with the Devil quest at the capital square could fail to start.
• It was possible to get a reward from Edrist Hanvaki more than once. Resolution: fixed.

User Interface

• Scrolling through the locations list failed to work. Resolution: fixed.
• The Boon selection window for Beneath The Stolen Lands wasnt displayed in the gamepad interface. Resolution: fixed.
• Scrolling now works correctly in the recipe selection window. It now also displays recipes, for which there are not enough ingredients, as well as full recipe descriptions, with all the required ingredients.
• The loot window displayed the number of items instead of its weight. Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed how the newly obtained spells are displayed in the class progression window.

Turn-Based Mode

• In turn-based mode, enemies sometimes failed to use all their available actions. Resolution: fixed.
• Sometimes characters could lose their turns if the party got a surprise round. Resolution: fixed.
• A fight in turn-based mode could freeze when an AoE effect of a compound shape was activated. Resolution: fixed.
• The game could sometimes freeze when you tried to change the action type in turn-based combat. Resolution: fixed.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed the error that allowed using two Combat Styles simultaneously.
• Excessive game saves were created in the Last Azlanti Man mode. Resolution: fixed.
• Linzi and Tartuccio were not added to the list of controlled characters automatically after joining the party. Resolution: fixed.
• Decreased the memory consumption in the scenes with lots of characters (in particular, in Irovettis palace).
• Audio: during the boss fight with Vordakai, a theme for Armag was played. Resolution: fixed.
• Japanese localization has been added.

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below!

• Commands that are given before a battle starts in turn-based mode, are now canceled only at the very moment the battle starts unless they have been already executed. In the previous update, the commands were canceled immediately, and only the last one was executed even if the battle did not start at all, which interfered with the use of effects during the pause. The change we implemented will also allow you to get a significant advantage in the surprise round, which goes against the rules of the board game, but we consider it acceptable at the moment.
• Pounce failed to work in the surprise round if the character was not the first to act during this round. Resolution: fixed.
• Attacking enemies with AoE spells failed to start a surprise round. Resolution: fixed.

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below!

Areas

Quests

• Fixed the issue, which made it impossible to complete A Bard's Calling quest if several conditions werent met at Rushlight Fields.

Turn-Based Mode

• The summoned creatures failed to disappear immediately after they died in turn-based mode. Resolution: fixed.
• Turn-based combat could fail to end even after all the enemies were dead if an uncontrolled friendly character attacked a dead enemy. Resolution: fixed.
• If a character started the turn-based combat with a full attack, the Initiative roll wasnt made until all the hits were finished, which resulted in the incorrect calculation of the flat-footed effect. Resolution: fixed.
• Characters that did not act in the surprise round were no longer flat-footed at the start of the first normal round, but according to rules, that condition should have remained until the characters turn. Resolution: fixed.
• You could order more than one character to perform Charge or some other aggressive action before starting the battle in turn-based mode, which caused the game to freeze or the turn to be skipped automatically. Resolution: fixed.
• Detecting a trap or some other hidden object could interrupt Charge in turn-based mode, which could cause the turn to freeze in some cases. Resolution: fixed.
• In turn-based mode, when spells with the ultimate range were used, prediction sometimes showed that the spell would be applied but then the spell failed because the character did not have enough time. Resolution: fixed.
• In turn-based mode, if a monk switched between combat styles, the new style wasnt applied until the next turn. Resolution: fixed. Now the new style is applied immediately if the monk has not already used his attack in the current turn.
• In turn-based mode, it was impossible to hide the weapon set selection window or take a turn after changing the weapon. Resolution: fixed.
• The performance has been improved, in particular, when using a large number of long-lasting AoE effects (auras, Cloud Kill and so on).

Kingdom

• If your kingdom was destroyed, you couldnt view the last event and change the automated kingdom management settings. Resolution: fixed.

Classes & Mechanics

• The duelists Parry ability did not work properly and had an incorrect description. Resolution: fixed. The ability now works correctly and does not reduce the number of attacks per round.
• If a spell cast by a magus with Spell Combat on was interrupted (for example, due to a failed Concentration check), it was impossible to make an attack according to Spell Combat rules after that. Resolution: fixed.
• Smart cursor failed to suggest that a magus make a full or normal attack by default if the magus had a charged spell and Spell Strike was on. Resolution: fixed.
• The druids pets had no bonus against trip maneuvers. They should have had a bonus from the number of legs. A centipede also had no immunity to trip. Resolution: fixed.
• The description of the rangers Archery Style incorrectly stated that it granted pinpoint targeting (instead of Improved Critical it actually provided). Resolution: fixed.
• The bards song stopped immediately without Lingering Performance. Resolution: fixed. Now it is active until the end of the round.
• Singing Steel Breastplate failed to speed up switching the bards songs on. Resolution: fixed.
• The Endurance feat only granted the ability to sleep in medium and heavy armor and did not give other bonuses. Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed the description of the Vital Strike feats.
• Heroic Invocation made the characters fatigued after the effect ended. Resolution: fixed.

• Using Acrobatic Movement to avoid attacks of opportunity slowed the character more than intended. Resolution: fixed.
• Stone Fist was resolving attacks against touch AC instead of normal AC. Resolution: fixed.

• Several damage-increasing effects were incorrectly increased by abilities granting a bonus to damage, such as Smite Evil. Resolution: fixed.
• The effects, which are normally applied to all the characters at the location, stopped working. Resolution: fixed.
• Vordakais Fear Aura ability now correctly works with Remove Fear and other effects against fear.
• Base Attack Bonus (BAB) of ranged and melee attacks was sometimes calculated incorrectly on the characters page in the console version.
• Lethal Stance gave a bonus to attack with unspecified type, thus stacking with everything, although its description stated that it should give competence bonus. Resolution: fixed.
• Ghosts and Bloody Bones Beasts had a higher reflex bonus than intended. Resolution: fixed.
• Prediction failed to work when aiming at characters portraits. Resolution: fixed.

Items

• Several druids complained that they couldnt find any ordinary quarterstaffs to buy. Resolution: a new consignment of quarterstaffs is going to be delivered to traders.
• Amulet of Mighty Fists did not give any benefits to overcoming DR /magic and incorporeal immunities. Resolution: fixed.
• When equipped by a monk, additional attacks granted by the Steelwind sai sometimes failed to stack stacking with additional attacks from Haste. Resolution: fixed.
• Storyteller failed to take all your parts of the Ring of Reckless Courage when creating the artifact. Resolution: fixed.
• The description of potions incorrectly stated that using them took the same action as using a spell. It should have stated that potions use a move action. Resolution: fixed.
• Using spells provided by items caused the character to cast defensively provoked attacks of opportunity. Among such items, only scrolls should be cast defensively and cause the attack of opportunity on a failed defensive check. Resolution: fixed.
• Metakinesis cost and effect are now correctly applied to kinetic blades.

User Interface

• If a character leveled up during the battle, the corresponding notification was not displayed on characters. Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed how the BAB and Saving Throw values, as well as the Spell Table, are displayed in the Class Progression window.
• In the Unfair mode, the real skill check didn't always match the log entry. Resolution: fixed.
• Immunity to effects was not displayed in the combat log. Resolution: fixed. Now, if the target is immune to an effect, a corresponding message is displayed in the combat log.
• Effects and conditions were displayed on enemies right away but a successful Knowledge (Arcana) skill check caused this data block to hide. Resolution: fixed.
• The performance of item-related (inventory, vendors, loot) UI elements has been improved.
• If you closed the inventory when rotating the characters model, it was impossible to interact with the items after you re-opened the window. Resolution: fixed.

• Fixed the issues with the characters movement at the Capital Square.
• It was impossible to attack Kobold Artist at the trolls lair. Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed the issue due to which it was possible to talk to the inquisitor at the Secluded Lodge only once.

Quests

• The event with Sartayne (Nazrielles apprentice and royal advisor) in the throne room worked incorrectly. Resolution: fixed.

• Fixed the issue due to which Peridot Wyvern became uncontrollable.
• Fixed the issue due to which pets became uncontrollable after the companions duels.
• Fixed an issue due to which ghosts couldnt do anything.
• The boggard's Terrifying Croak had no Fear descriptor, thats why bonuses to saving throws against fear were not applied. Resolution: fixed. Terrifying Croak now has the Fear descriptor.
• The nereids aura was multiplied if characters succeeded at saving throws against her.
• Mimic's Adhesive Entanglement had no description. Resolution: fixed. Adhesive Entanglement now has the Entangle description.

Greetings, Pathfinders! It feels like only yesterday we have released Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The game we put our souls into, the game of our dreams. And it is you, our community, who made it possible in the first place. We want to say thank you to all backers and supporters, for your passion, feedback, and patience. As you know, we always take work with our community very seriously. Especially with all the teasers and jokes (if you remember our first free DLC and announcement of announcement you will understand what we are talking about). And with our next project Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous we want to bring work with the community to the next level. We will engage content creators, build a new forum for players discussions, held detailed surveys during alpha and beta tests, and put emphasis on feedback from our community. You will help us to shape the game, drive our vision and achieve the most daring ideas. And to accomplish this we will launch a new Kickstarter campaign.
Why Kickstarter, you might ask? We want to make this adventure as epic as we imagined it when playing Wrath of the Righteous at the table. And, of course, we want our next game to become better than the previous one in every aspect. While we already have essential investments, there are a lot of things to add and improve. And you will be able to support us in this endeavour! On February 4th, we will lift the shroud of mystery and share our creative vision, revealing all the main features we aim to deliver, along with the first gameplay video of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. And even more details are coming in the Kickstarter updates! Subscribe to our newsletter so you won't miss anything.

Greetings, Pathfinders. The time has come the pen and paper adventure module The Puzzle Box is here! We hope you enjoy the work of Chris Avellone and writers from our team, who created this adventure! And we are waiting for your stories from the game. We have social media accounts, read through steam and GoG forums, Reddit, we also have two Discord servers: one for Kingmaker, another one for Wrath of the Righteous. Were waiting for your feedback on any of those platforms! If the adventure is part of your game edition, you will find it in the Digital Rewards folder of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. If it isnt please, verify integrity of your game files. If it still wont appear please, create a thread about this issue in Bug Report section. We also want to express our deepest gratitude to the testers, who ran several parties and provided a lot of feedback. Without them it would take much more time to playtest the adventure. Their help was invaluable. And thank you all for your patience and support - this wouldn't be possible without it.

We are excited to announce Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous today. With our new game, we are taking everything that made Kingmaker enjoyable and building on top of it. We laid a solid foundation and are going to push the boundaries of the CRPG genre with our next title. We especially want to thank our community for their support we would not be making this game if it werent for you.
While not a direct sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous will expand and elaborate on the core elements of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. With such new features as the mythic progression system, a new corner of the Age of Lost Omens to explore, and more classes and character customizations drawn from Pathfinder's extensive history. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is based on the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path from the tabletop game but includes new characters, plots, and elements to entertain even players already familiar with the adventure. It tells the story of a large-scale conflict between mortals and demons where players are invited to immerse themselves in a world under siege from demonic forces. As a vicious invasion threatens the world, the consequences of ones decisions will forge a unique narrative of their personal battle between good and evil. Kingmakers Creative Director Alexander Mishulin and Lead Writer Alexander Komzolov return to their respective roles. And we are happy to confirm that Chris Avellone is back on board lending a hand and supporting the narrative team as he did with Pathfinder: Kingmaker! To stand against the demonic invasion, the player character and their companions will receive additional powers from the players chosen mythic path. These paths vary widely in nature and profoundly impact the storyline of the game, permanently changing the characters and the world around them. You may choose the path of the immortal lich, wielding powerful spells and commanding an army of undead; the path of the angel, summoning celestial allies into battle and meting bolts of divine judgment upon foes; or something else entirely. Or the path of the trickster, causing mischief and fun even in the middle of the demon-filled abyss, warping the reality itself and turning the dices into natural 20 from 1 to score a critical hit. We have also changed and adapted mythic paths mechanics for the computer game, to provide the best gaming experience we can. In the new game, youll find the mythic paths completely different compared to what youve seen in the tabletop game. Some Pathfinder RPG character classes that didnt make it into Kingmaker will make their CRPG debut in Wrath of the Righteous alongside the returning roster, including but not limited to the fan-favorite witch and oracle. We will reveal more classes and character options in the near future! With an improved visual style, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous will offer a look and feel distinct from that of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Set in locations including a demon-infested wasteland, besieged crusader cities, and the foul, twisted Abyss itself, Wrath of the Righteouss art will capture the epic fight of the worlds defenders as they struggle to hold the line against the corrupting force of otherworldly entities. We will share details of the development process with the fans! If you want to be among the first who receive that sweet new update follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter. You can also discuss it on Steam forum.

Dear Pathfinders! We know well that the first playthrough of the Pathfinder: Kingmaker might be difficult for players unfamiliar with Pathfinder ruleset. We want to make the game more transparent for new players, so the start of the game will be better at teaching you the system and getting rid of the chore of googling unfamiliar things as much as possible. And who can help us better than our players? Your feedback was always important to us and we appreciate your input. So, if you want to help us improve our game, please, complete this survey. We want to know, what was unclear, hard and illogical during your first steps in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5298493/kingmaker

Dear pathfinders, weve found a problem you should be aware of. Please, avoid respecing in the last chapter: The Cursed King/Queen. A respec during this chapter might lead to the eternal unremovable Lantern King curse. If you are already affected by the bug, you can fix it by loading the save prior to the respec. We are determined to fix the issue as soon as we can. Unfortunately, this may take some time.

Dear Pathfinders! The recent anniversary of Pathfinder: Kingmaker made us think more about the future of Owlcat Games as well. Together with our parent company, we decided to change the format of cooperation with MY.GAMES and go for an independent studio. Both parties have agreed to this mutually beneficial step, which will allow continuing to explore new business opportunities while maintaining focus on core competencies. The parent company remains our strategic partner and investor. We want to thank our colleagues at MY.GAMES for all these years we have spent on the path together. As a newly independent studio, we have already moved to the new headquarters, where we are actively making ourselves a new home right now. The move was not easy for us we needed to carefully pack and transfer the countless boxes with small assets, shaman tambourines, all the dialogues, the bestiary and all the miniatures from the personal desks. Amiri's sword alone required an individual van! But we made it! Here is a small photo report, so you can see the process with your own eyes.

Hello Pathfinders, The anniversary infographic with fun stats and data about the game is now available in German, French, Italian, Spanish and Simplified Chinese! You will be able to see it once you change your steam language.

We have analyzed the latest reported crashes and concluded that in most cases the problem is connected to the capes physics. The issue is tricky, as we are unable to recreate it on the testing machines yet. Thus, we do not have estimates for the solid fix. Meanwhile, we added an option to disable the cloth physics. We recommend trying this option for those of pathfinders who experience problems with game crashes. Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below.

Historically, there is such a deep connection between RPGs and dungeons, that sometimes it seems there couldn't be an RPG without one. There are many dungeons in the Pathfinder: Kingmaker, even if not count the DLC "Beneath the Stolen Lands". We decided to make a new survey to know what you like and what you hate about dungeons in our game. The dungeon you dream of what is it like? Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScn2_tveYOMBaNprPIECqnwMTTVwy6BNBT6lYyz8CR4oHr6vg/viewform

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below!

• Custom portraits sometimes got deleted. Resolution: when a player loads a saved game with custom portraits, folders are created with the names that correspond to the portrait identifiers.
• Players who reached floor 50 of the Endless Dungeon could have noticed that the enemy difficulty stopped to increase. That turned out to be true: we never imagined that there would be heroes capable of going so deep! The enemies suffered under the players onslaught and reported lots of bugs using F11. They asked and we listened! Weve strengthened them on floor 51 and beyond. Players who are currently on floors below 50 should expect a leap in difficulty: monsters have gained strengths and theyll try to strike back fiercely. Stay alert and remember: losing a battle does not mean losing the war! (And you can always let your hero retire.)
• In Tenebrous Depths, players encountered subtasks of type "Our descent was halted by a shroud of darkness. We must wait until it disperses." even if there were no shroud of darkness. Such subtasks failed to complete when the shroud of darkness disappeared. Resolution: fixed.
• In rare cases, when you followed the Betrayer's Flight quest to Candlemere Tower, there could be neither Tristian nor an active portal. Resolution: fixed.
• In the main game, in Tenebrous Depths VI, one of the enemy groups incorrectly consisted of 6 Wild Hunt Archers. Resolution: fixed.
• One of the endings of the Heroes' Fate quest in Lostlarn Keep could get stuck in the main game after the saved game conversion if the DLC General was female. Resolution: fixed. To fix the issue, load the saved game before entering the dungeon.
• The Cloudkill buff in traps in the Vordakai Tomb had no visible text. Resolution: fixed.
• In the battle with the Everblooming Flower in the Other World, you can now rest and recover after the battle before you teleport to the Womb of Lamashtu.
• Now you can speak to Kobold Artist in the Troll Liar only once.
• The Spawn of Rovagug had the Chaotic Neutral alignment. Resolution: fixed to the Chaotic Evil alignment.
• Even the smallest goblin alchemists now can throw bombs.
• Classes: Mind Fog had an incorrect duration description. Resolution: fixed.
• The description of Sage Sorcerer has been expanded to clarify the features of this archetype.
• Names and descriptions of some Wild Hunt Archer abilities were missing. Resolution: fixed.
• Abilities: Coup De Grace no longer ignores Fortification.
• Items from Tristians dead body were looted incorrectly. Resolution: fixed. You cannot interact with the corpse to loot it; instead, Tristians equipment is looted automatically after his death.
• Items: Cloak Of Inner Warmth had an abnormally low price. Resolution: fixed.
• Items: Frost Rapier +1 from the Honest Guy had an incorrect price. Resolution: fixed.
• Items: Flaming Gnome Hooked Hammer +1 had a corrosive enchantment. Resolution: fixed.
• Items: Gloves of Dexterity +2 had an incorrect price. Resolution: fixed.
• Audio: the Sartayne's House had no audio scenes. Resolution: fixed.

Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below!

• DLC3: some secret rooms were impossible to get into even after the player had detected the room and opened the door. Resolution: fixed.
• A trap in Tenebrous Depths XIV could not be disarmed. Resolution: fixed
• The respec caused Jaethal to lose the ability to wield the scythe. This happened when the respec was used on Jaethal no longer worshiping Urgathoa. Resolution: fixed.
• The Slayer could take the Ranger Combat Style feat at every level. Resolution: fixed.
• If the player completed Season of Bloom before the Enhanced Edition and loaded the saved game in Enhanced Edition with the Magical Lantern equipped on their character, they had two identical lantern abilities, one of which failed to disappear after the item was de-equipped. Resolution: fixed; now the redundant ability disappears when the player enters the Throne Room.
• Both Kanerah and Kalikke were present inside the house at the Capital Square at the same time. Resolution: fixed.
• After you killed the Spawn of Rovagug once, you could try fighting it again by showing your loot from the dungeons boss monsters to the dragon, which resulted in a broken cutscene. Now there is no such option: you can only kill the Spawn of Rovagug once in the plot dungeon.
• At Technic League Encampment, the final dialogue with Kalannah could have been terminated early with no way to resume it. Resolution: fixed by adding an option to resume the dialogue with Kalannah.
• In some cases, mercenary advisors could fail to resolve the rank-up events. Resolution: fixed.
• Items: wands with cantrips were worth 0 gold. Resolution: fixed.
• Items: Throwing Axes behaved like a melee weapon. Resolution: fixed.
• Audio: some Linux users experienced sound issues. Resolution: fixed.
• When you loaded an autosave, some modifiers were incorrectly applied to enemies multiple times. Resolution: multiple modifiers are no longer applied. Most extra modifiers have been removed from the game saves that already had this error; however, it may not be possible to clear all the effects completely.

Hi there! The Enhanced Edition is finally here, and we hope that youve already dug your teeth into it and that you like what youre seeing. Nonetheless, there remains one important aspect of the game that we havent covered in these diaries yet. Today we would like to focus on kingdom management. Our vanilla kingdom management system has found some supporters among the players, but not all of you liked it. As time went on, weve received many suggestions and criticisms from you. We kept fine-tuning the way kingdom management works with every big patch, and as such, it shouldnt come as a surprise that weve prepared a new pack of improvements for the Enhanced Edition as well.

Dear Pathfinders, Many of you have asked us about the status of the Chris Avellones digital RPG adventure reward, and were happy that we finally have some news for you! Weve reached a new important milestone. After multiple drafts and much back-and-forth between Chris, Paizo and us Owlcats, weve all decided that the manuscript is of high enough quality to begin closed playtesting! Weve recruited a number of playgroups from you, our audience, and weve sent out copies of the adventure module. We believe that testing early is very important, and getting feedback before everything is set in stone can drastically improve the end result. For those of you who are participating, wed like to stress that this is an early draft that is still far from its final, Paizo-approved state we just collectively decided that we want to hear your thoughts on this. We are sorry that it took us so long to reach this stage. The task has proven to be more difficult than initially expected, and we want to make sure that this adventure lives up to the fame of the original Kingmaker AP. However, we promise things will pick up from now on. Stay tuned for more news in the near future! Sincerely, Your Owlcats

This Thursday we will have another stream! This time it will be a Release Stream for the Enhanced Edition. We will be live at 7:30 PM CEST/1:30 PM EDT (US). Join us at https://www.twitch.tv/owlcatgames to talk about Enhanced Edition and Beneath the Stolen Lands DLC. We will continue our playthrough of the "Beneath the Stole Lands" DLC and show changes in the first chapter of the game!

You've asked a lot of questions about our next DLC. So today we will show it to you! Join us for an Endless Dungeon run, where you can help us build and develop the character. What can go right? We will be live at 7:30 PM CEST/1:30 PM EDT (US). https://www.twitch.tv/owlcatgames and here, on Steam.

This list is still under construction! It doesn't list all the features and fixes yet, and it will be editied to ensure better readability and grammar. Please, be aware of plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)!

Areas

• In the City of Hollow Eyes, Pale Yan didn't always come to your aid during the battle with the dragon. Resolution: fixed.
• Reworked the way the Siroket fight works in the "Blakemoor Hideout" area. From now on, she shouldn't become invincible for no apparent reason.
• In the House at the Edge of Time, the Magical Lantern can now be lit or put out from the belt window.

Quests

• From now on you can return to Troll Lair even if you chose Hargulka or Tartuk as your ally.
• When completing Tristian's companion quest "Kingdom of the Cleansed", a quest-crucial cut scene didn't run in the "Secret Sanctum" area. Resolution: fixed.
• Some illustrated events could provide infinite experience points in some cases. Resolution: fixed.
• After death, Tristian lost his "Protective Aura" ability. Resolution: fixed.
• During Ekundayo's "Bury the Past" quest, it was impossible to complete the "Kill the giants' leader" objective in certain circumstances. Resolution: fixed. If you've already left the "Bridge over the Gudrin River" area, but the quest is still active, you can return and talk to Ekun to complete it.
• Upon becoming hostile, Sartayne would still refuse to fight. Resolution: fixed (told him you were saying stuff behind his back).

Kingdom

• New: mercs (custom characters) can now be assigned advisor roles.
• New: kingdom events that can lead to the destruction of your kingdom will now also tell you which quest must be completed to save the kingdom. This info will be displayed in the kingdom event card.
• Erastil's Favor kingdom effect was not properly giving +5 to Lore (Nature) checks. Resolution: fixed.
• When trying to leave the throne room after talking to the villagers Alov and Erick, the player would get teleported to the villagers instead. Resolution: fixed.

Classes & Mechanics

• New: a faster running speed option! When out of combat, if you click far away from your characters, they will run significantly faster. You can also disable this in the "Options" menu.
• The storm debuff no longer stays on characters that enter the global map.
• Having two identical animal companions in the party could break one of them. Resolution: fixed; from now on, the confused beast hears a soothing voice saying "Don't freak out, dude, he looks nothing like you!".
• The bear animal companion's description displayed the wrong stats. Resolution: fixed.
• The Shield Wall feat mentioned in its descriptions a number of certain conditions that did not apply to the game (such as shield bash denying the user AC from shield, which does not happen).
• Instead of selecting the character with the highest Trickery score to open locked doors and chests, the game used to select the character with the highest rank in Trickery instead of the character with the highest Trickery value overall (it didn't take into account different bonuses and penalties). Resolution: fixed.
• The Uncanny Dodge rogue talent (also available to the Eldritch Scoundrel archetype) did not allow attacks of opportunity to be performed before the starting initiative delay had passed. Uncanny Dodge should allow a character to perform attacks of opportunity even before they've acted on their turn (and other instances of uncanny dodge did allow doing so). Resolution: fixed.
• The Charming Smile ability of the Charm domain couldn't be used. Resolution: Fixed (no botox involved - promise!). It should become usable after resting.
• The Shielded Caster feat only worked for casters that had a shield. Resolution: Fixed.
• Guardian Armor summoned by Create Undead didn't get a +3 weapon bonus from wielding Necromancer's Staff. Resolution: fixed.
• Sometimes spells with multiple attacks such as Scorching Ray failed to deal sneak attack damage. Resolution: fixed.

• Instant Enemy said that it allows Fortitude saving throw. It does not and should not allow any saving throws. Resolution: description fixed.
• Creatures falling prone in the area of Obsidian Flow did not receive damage. Resolution: Fixed.
• Resting in a hub took 7 hours instead of 8. Resolution: fixed.
• It used to be possible to make a dead companion perform tasks during rest. Resolution: fixed. Got a call from the Department of Death legal team; apparently, making dead employees work during rest time is against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
• Kineticist substance infusions no longer need to be deactivated and activated again to update their DC after stat changes.

Items

• New: added Nunchaku and Throwing Axe weapon types.
• Some of the Heavy Shields available as loot had the incorrect item type assigned to them, rendering them unusable. Resolution: fixed.
• Some of the masterwork items couldn't be sold using the "mass sale" feature. Resolution: fixed.
• The Alkaline Mace was incorrectly attributed to Varrask. Resolution: fixed.
• Two-handed axes could be labelled as one-handed. Resolution: fixed.
• The Acerbic Ring didn't add dice to Arcane Bomber bombs. Resolution: fixed.
• Spiced Fish had 0 weight. Resolution: fixed.
• The Tangled Claws weapon had a chance to cast the Entangle AoE spell instead of entangling one person. Resolution: fixed.
• The Star Soldier's Gauntlet would cast three rays simultaneously. Resolution: now there is a short delay between them.
• Scrolls of Protection from Energy, Communal had the same names as normal Scrolls of Protection from Energy. Resolution: Fixed.

• Improved the way our UI adapts to wide screens.
• From now on, it will be possible to use usable items when they are in a belt slot.
• Marked ability collections (i.e. Weapon Focus) as such. Abilities that have already been taken will also display their prerequisites. Fixed a number of minor ability prerequisite bugs.
• Feats, class features, and items that modified bonuses and penalties from Fighting Defensively and Combat Expertise (for example, Crane Style, Steel Net and Helmet of Battlefield Clarity) were logged in the combat log attack roll tooltip as separate bonuses. Resolution: now the combat log tooltip shows them as bonuses and penalties from Fighting Defensively/Combat Expertise instead.
• Energy-related enchantments weren't displayed in the "Qualities" list of a weapon. Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed familiars sometimes appearing on the map or kingdom interface.
• Quest notifications could appear blank. Resolution: fixed.
• Spell-Like Abilities used to always show a spell level of 0. Resolution: fixed.
• Filling up all the slots in a vendor's trade window and then selling or clearing all of them lead to only the first slot working correctly (all the others would not display the items that have been put there). Resolution: fixed.
• Fixed incorrect information appearing in the tooltip for the secondary part of a magical double weapon.

Misc

• The visual effects of AoE spells were not affected by fog of war as they should be. Resolution: fixed.
• Multiple English text improvements (typos, missing words, etc.).
• Completing the "Varnhold's Lot" DLC campaign should no longer award achievements for completing the game.

Hello, fellow Pathfinders! Its time to reveal some more cool new features of the Enhanced Edition, which, as we hope, will make you happy. Some of them you could already guess, looking at the EE beta patch notes, and some were carefully kept in secret till this moment. Anyway, today we will talk about everything in more detail. Rest assured, many interesting things lie ahead! So, shall we start?

Choose Your Destiny (Again)

Even More Random Encounters

Battle Toads

Energy Fireworks

Start of The Adventure

• Spider swarms. This enemy appeared to be a real pain for lots of players. Weve nerfed them, weve added new tips, we gave out extra flasks of alchemical fire... and to no avail. Spider swarms continued to be a major source of frustration, especially during the first playthrough. So we dealt with the problem drastically: we redesigned the fangberry cave. From now on, the pesky spider swarms wont stand in your way. Youll be able to either gather the berries and leave in peace, or go to a separate part of the cave to fight the swarms anyway - and get a seperate reward for that.
• We moved some of the locations around the global map to make the difficulty curve more smooth and better balanced.
• Three completely new lairs have been added: two for boggards (the new monster type discussed earlier) and one for manticoras.
• Another painful enemy for many a player was the Technic League. We decided to take the blinding spell out of their arsenal. Now players will encounter blindness as a condition for the first time much later in the First chapter.
• We added new packs of ordinary wolves in the Old Sycamore area. We also made the sleeping bandits a little weaker.
• We adjusted and re-balanced the AC of some enemies

FINISH HIM!

Dear pathfinders, We are happy to inform that the Beta of the Enhanced Edition is available for everyone! Just to remind you:

• all you need to do to participate is switch to the "betatest" branch and enter the code "Ms0SJWRhSRuo". Find detailed info and instructions over here: https://owlcatgames.com/content/beta-test . Those players who took part in the Beta test for earlier versions will just have to switch to the "betatest" branch and update the version.
• you will be able to send us your thoughts together with all the required information (a screenshot and a save file are collected automatically) by pressing F11 and clicking on the "Report bug" button attached to the right edge of the screen. You could also really help us out by turning on logs (here's a how-to: https://owlcatgames.com/content/bug-report-technical ). Doing so enables the "Report bug" button to also send us your logs, but makes the game a bit slower, so you might want to turn logging off after taking part in the beta.

Dear Pathfinders! We decided to revive the beautiful Dev Diary genre, which means that something really big and cool is coming! And you already know perfectly well what it is in the nearest future we will release the epic Enhanced Edition of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Numerous features shall be added to the game, which weve been working on during the last months. Yes, thats right while youre sleeping, the devs are not only fixing bugs and making DLCs, but also carefully gathering all your feedback (both that which you left during the surveys, and also from all the forums, threads, comment sections and boards). Weve been everywhere, trying to learn what we need to do so that PF: KM may become even better for you. Weve analyzed all the feedback and added everything we could. Now, in these Diaries, we are going to tell you what we came up with. So, lets jump right into it! Hack of all trades Sometimes, you just cant decide whether you want a character who is good at dealing with traps, or if you want a good damage dealer. And in some cases, even if you choose to go down the damage route, you cant decide if you want to wield a bow, two daggers or a two-handed axe. Well, there is an answer to all this: the Slayer. The slayer takes lots of skill points, sneak attack and talents of a rogue, battle capabilities of a ranger, adds his own unique abilities, all to become one of the best martial universalists in Pathfinder. His unique ability, Study Target, allows him to spend some time to study the enemy, learning his weak points, and make more effective attacks against the target. If you dont want to spend time - thats okay, as the first time you deal sneak attack damage to the target, you study it automatically. Easy, right? All of these features make him a great asset for dealing with enemies of all types (including the mechanical ones), but sometimes you want something a bit different. His archetypes change some of the abilities to give you different flavored opportunities. The Vanguard is a master of tactics who can share his own battle prowess with his teammates, allowing them to use his teamwork feats. The Deliverer is the slayer in service of a God who excels at eliminating heretics while refusing to die in the process. The Spawn Slayer is the best choice for killing big enemies - the bigger, the better. So, pick a slayer, and hell overcome any hurdle you meet on your journey! At least, while it doesnt require fancy magic... Become a Swordlord You can't hide an awl in a sack, especially if your awl is a sword. As you may already know, we are introducing a new prestige class to the game, one that just should be here the Swordlord. This class seems like the most logical choice for the game, as the Swordlords have an active role in the main plot. Its the Swordlords leader Jamandi Aldoris mansion where the prologue of the game takes place. And after that, the Aldori Swordlords act as one of the main political forces and a neighbor of your newly established barony, which you should reckon with. The Aldori Swordlords is a society of the strongest warriors, who dedicated themselves to the mastering the art of the sword. What makes this class special? The prestige class has four main mechanical features. Firstly, a Swordlord specializes in fighting with a dueling sword held in one hand while the other remains free. This combat style grants him an opportunity to add 1,5 Dexterity bonus to damage just like a strong character adds 1,5 Strength bonus to damage with two-handed weapons. This is huge, as there are nearly no other ways to get such a feature. The second feature is the skillful intimidation. When a Swordlord makes a critical hit or performs some combat maneuvers, he or she can demoralize the opponent, not requiring any extra action for that. This intimidation is much more potent than a usual one. Also, it negates some of the opponent's bonuses (for example, Morale bonuses). The third feature when an opponent makes a successful attack, a Swordlord can adapt to the opponents combat style and receive a bonus to the AC by making a successful perception roll. Last but not least, the Swordlords are better at defending. Using a dueling sword, they can reduce the damage from a critical hit to that of a normal one. Also, they get less penalties for Fighting Defensively and Combat Expertise. Off With the Hat! We know that not all of you liked the basic class outfits. Some dont want their character to be carrying their backpack permanently, the others dont like how the Inquisitors hat looks. There have already been mods made by independent authors that allow players to hide some parts of the outfit, but actually the task is more tricky than it seems. The truth is that the game initially didnt include such an opportunity at the deep technical level.This means that implementing such a function could lead to some unexpected bugs and unpleasant breakage of the characters visual appearance, so we needed some time to make everything properly. Now this option will be available in the game officially, so that you may turn off some of the visual elements to make your character look the way you want him or her to look.
Gotta Catch em All One of the important aspects of the game that adds color and opens up the world for the player is the Storyteller and his tales. This is one of those features that may be more interesting to players who prefer the lore to the fights. However, the difficulty is that in order to listen to one of his stories, you first need to bring the wise old elf all the pieces of the ancient artifact in question. You can also keep some of the restored artifacts for yourself, to get some advantages and bonuses for your adventure. The pieces can be lying literally anywhere, and far too many players found it too difficult to collect them all. We decided to make the goal a bit more reachable. Now, while searching for the required fragments you wont need to try to remember everything or write things down on a piece of paper. From now on, you will be able to see the name of the location where the item was found right in that items description tooltip. Moreover, this feature will be added to all the items, so, if need be, you would always be able to look where the item was found or which vendor sold it to you. The Teamwork In Enhanced Edition, you will also find some new useful interface elements, which may help you plan and balance your party during level up. If you are one of those players who take builds seriously, carefully distribute the points and spend time to maintain your party, you will definitely like this addition. Now, while picking up new skills, spells or features during level up, you will always see a tooltip, which would give you a hint on which team members already have this skill, spell, common or team feature. Previously, you needed to remember all this, search the spellbook, and now this information would just pop-up before your eyes.

Unexpected Doomsday Dont you forget your companions! If you wont address their quests and needs for too long a time, they could just be offended. Or it would be simply too late to solve the problem. New reminders for the companion quests that can be failed soon would be added to the game. This function was already presented for the main quests, to remind the player about serious issues, that need your immediate attention. Now you will also see how your companions mood, whose quests you are ignoring, is going down. The reminder will come to you as a kingdom event which happens when just a third of the time given to complete the quest is left. If it popped up means its time to hurry up! Dont neglect them, for the failure of a companion quest can affect the whole story. By the way, just as in a real life, the quest starts when a companion comes to you with a problem (a relevant kingdom event), not when you pick the quest. We shall also add new, more transparent reminders for the main quests timers. Two months before the failure of the main quest you will see a countdown in your journal, with a message that will clearly tell you that the time is running out. We hope this will make the game more comfortable to play, and now you wont miss any important events. What Will Tomorrow Bring? In this Diary weve only started to introduce you to new and interesting features, which you waited for, which you asked for and which, as we hope, will make the game more comfortable and more fun. But this is far from everything weve got! Soon we will start an open beta, so you will be able to try out some of the new features and options. More tasty features are to come, so wait for more new diaries and please tell us in comments which features are you expecting? Yours faithfully, Owlcats.

Or maybe huddling round the fire with Octavia and Amiri and Regongar made you think of sitting down at the gaming table with your friends.

The tenth anniversary of the original Kingmaker adventure path for tabletop Pathfinder is just around the corner.

We regret to inform you that, after much consideration, weve decided to postpone the release of our 3rd DLC, Beneath The Stolen Lands, by around a month. Multiple factors have influenced this decision. We dont have much experience with procedurally generated dungeons, and the games engine wasnt originally built to support such content. Our goal to make the DLC endlessly repeatable demands that we hit a high standard of replayability, and that puts additional pressure on our game designers. Last but not least, we feel that we need to make more time for testing and quality assurance. All in all, this is a rather ambitious project for us, and we want to make sure we deliver an experience that is worthy of our players attention. We sincerely apologize for this delay, and we hope that you understand our reasons. To soften the blow and share our progress with you, heres a little sneak peek inside the mysterious underground dungeon weve been building all this time. We hope you like what you see! Sincerely, Owlcats.

Dear Pathfinders, we would like to thank you once again for being so active during the last survey! Knowing what you think and how you feel about our game is very important to us. We read your answers with great interest and make important decisions concerning our current and future projects based on your feedback. Today we have a new survey for you. Once again, there are quite a few questions in it, but we hope you will be as enthusiastic about it as the previous time. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NRNSHWJ

In order to better understand your needs and to make a few important decisions about future development, we've decided to conduct this survey.

Dear pathfinders, We are happy to inform that the Beta of Version 1.3 is available for everyone - this time on GoG as well as Steam! Just to remind you:

• all you need to do to participate is switch to the "betatest" branch and enter the code "Ms0SJWRhSRuo". Find detailed info and instructions over here: https://owlcatgames.com/content/beta-test . Those players who took part in the Beta test for earlier versions will just have to switch to the "betatest" branch and update the version.
• you will be able to send us your thoughts together with all the required information (a screenshot and a save file are collected automatically) by pressing F11 and clicking on the "Report bug" button attached to right edge of the screen. You could also really help us out by turning on logs (here's a how-to: https://owlcatgames.com/content/bug-report-technical ). Doing so enables the "Report bug" button to also send us your logs, but makes the game a bit slower, so you might want to turn logging off after taking part in the beta.

• Certain kingdom conditions can lead to a decreased chance of random encounters on the global map. This had the unintended side effect of making it too hard to find your throne in the "Runaway Throne" quest. Resolution: now there is a kingdom event that will disclose the throne's location if the quest hasn't been completed after a while.

Dear pathfinders, As the new year takes its course, we are happy to announce that we're ready to share Version 1.2! This new pack of fixes and improvements is based on your suggestions we keep receiving both from forums and the in-game reporting system (available by pressing F11). Thank you so much for your contribution - your feedback lets us make the game better every day! We know that a lot of our players are complaining about the long load times. It's a serious technical issue and, unfortunately, we cannot fix it in one fell swoop. However, we're doing our best to mitigate this pain. We have been able to greatly increase initial loading time in previous patches. And there is a major improvement in Kingdom management interface we implemented in this patch that will eliminate loading time between different Kingdom UI windows. We keep looking for other things we could do to fix this problem, so stay tuned for further improvements! Be aware that the update is really huge - you will have to download around 18 Gb! The reason the update is so big is that we are working on the loading time issue, so we had to repack almost all game data. We would like to thank all of you who are sending us the bug reports with the typos. We are doing our best to correct them as soon as they are discovered. Thanks to you all, the Version 1.2 holds a large number of such fixes! Finally, let us assure you once more that work on the Pathfinder: Kingmaker will not stop for a single day. Right now, the development team keeps working on the next patch which should fix - as we hope - all known issues that remain on our task list. Sincerely yours, Owlcats. Patch Highlights:

• System: Loading times have been significantly reduced.
• New setting: you can now choose to significantly decrease loading times in kingdom management screens at the cost of higher RAM and VRAM consumption.
• Multiple difficulty improvements in Chapters 6 and 7.
• New feature: you can now enable camera following. Just double-click a character's portrait or hit F to enable it and disable it by manually controlling the camera (WASD, arrow keys or pressing on the mouse wheel). Camera-following is also automatically disabled on battle start.
• New feature: to save yourself a loading screen, you can now hover your mouse cursor over the table in the throne room, and you'll see an exclamation mark if anything new has happened in kingdom management while you were gone.
• The Storyteller now provides the total number of artifact shards needed to assemble an artifact.
• Numerous visual and user interface improvements.

• During Nok-Nok's companion quest, the player could gain "Hero" and "Jester" points by making certain decisions and picking certain dialogue options. Gathering a high enough number of these points was the only way to open the relevant story paths for Nok-Nok during the quest arc's finale (and thus save him at the House of the Edge of Time later on). However, it was unclear how to gain said points, which lead to most players getting stuck with the quest arc's "bad ending" and Nok-Nok dying, even if they completed his quests in an otherwise appropriate manner. Resolution: we are streamlining this mechanic. The players will now always be able to select either the "Hero" or the "Jester" path for Nok-Nok during the quest arc's finale. Which path is open to them depends on what type of points they acquired more of.
• A dialogue option discussing Valerie's scar didn't disappear from her dialogue even after completing her quest. Resolution: fixed.
• From now on, Irlene will take the Chest of Genuine Gemstones from the player when the player delivers it during her quest.
• The dialogue with Jubilost about the "Inconsequential debates" never ended if the quest was failed. Resolution: fixed.
• In the "Twice-Born Warlord" chapter, being able to save Nilak (and Dugath, if he survived so far) depended on whether the player is doing the "Flintrock Grassland" area before or after confronting Tristian at the "Abandoned Keep" area. If the players come late to the Flintrock Grassland, they find Nilak (and Dugath) already dead. We removed this dependency from the conditions to Nilak's (and Dugath's) survival to make Amiri's personal quest more consistent.
• The "Help Amiri kill another mighty monster" objective could be missing after completion of the "Help Amiri kill Tuskgutter" objective in rare cases. Resolution: fixed.
• The "Ancient formula" objective couldn't be completed after "Experiment on a wererat and report to Bokken" objective. Resolution: fixed.
• The "City of Hollow Eyes" area will now only be available after receiving the "Find the missing Defaced Sisters" objective of the "Along the Cold Trail" quest.
• In some resolutions of Jaethals last personal quest, she could unexpectedly disintegrate, which made it impossible to correctly resolve the Test of Loyalty for Jaethal and Tristian at the House of the Edge of Time. Resolution: the underlying issue has been solved and will not reproduce itself. However, unfortunately, the affected saves cannot be fixed.
• A weapon slot in Amiri's interface could remain locked after finishing her companion quests. Resolution: fixed.
• Even after Jaethal would come to life, she could regain some of her Undead feats with time. Resolution: fixed.
• In some cases during Ekun's "Bury the Past" quest, some of the enemy giants would not join the fight on their own, which made it impossible to talk to Ekun afterwards. Resolution: fixed. Those players who have already been affected by this bug (they see Ekun standing on his knees and cannot talk to him) need to kill the giants located one screen to the right.
• In some cases, the game incorrectly interpreted the player's decisions taken after fighting Hargulka and Tartuk at the "Troll Lair" area. Resolution: fixed.
• It was possible to accidentally fail Valerie's romance before it even begins. Resolution: fixed.
• Executing Edrist Hanvaki could block further playthrough if Auto Kingdom Management was turned on (this would stop game time from moving forward). Resolution: fixed.
• Mim Wobblegander no longer gets stuck on her way to Talon Peak. Resolution: fixed. For players with saved games where she is already stuck, she will be waiting for them on the top of the mountain now.
• Some players could permanently lose access to Nok-Nok if they have seen a certain statue before they were supposed to during his personal quest. Resolution: fixed.
• From now on, the "Saving Grace" quest will start no matter what the status of the "Hour of Rage" quest is.
• If Stefano Mosconi is alive during the "War of the River Kings" quest, he will now correctly appear in the Throne Room to "invite" the player to Pitax.
• During the Season of Bloom, the peasants that form the angry mob in front of your castle could make mistakes about the fate of a certain Lamashtu's priestess (located at the "Secluded Lodge" area) and some bandits ("Bridge over the Gudrin River"). Resolution: fixed.

• The dialogue option to ask Kharne Vereel about his shady dealings during the Rushlight tournament is now locked until the player finds out about them from other characters.
• Skill checks for the "Trial of Strength" and the "Trial by Pain" illustrated events could be triggered multiple times at the "Armag's Tomb" area. Resolution: fixed.
• The "Wild Energies" debuff could get stuck on characters when leaving the basement of the "House At The Edge Of Time" area using the staircase to the second floor. Resolution: fixed. For affected saves where the party are still in the "House At The Edge Of Time" area, players have to visit the ruined basement part and leave it again to remove the debuff.
• There could simultaneously exist two Tartuks at the "Ruined Warehouse" area in some cases. Resolution: fixed.
• NPC banters disappeared too fast in Varnhold. Resolution: fixed.

Dear pathfinders, 2018 is about to end - and what better way to say goodbye than by adding new stuff into the game! A while back, we've asked you which new portraits you would like to see in the game. The winners of the poll - an Aasimar Paladin and a Human Sorcerer - will now be available on character creation to all players. Apart from portraits, we're also adding more hairstyles and beards. Hooray for character customization! We're also delighted to inform that we're entering the final stages of work on Patch 1.2. We're planning to begin the open beta test for this large update this week. All who want to join us in testing are most welcome to - as always, your feedback is invaluable to us! Exact details on the open testing will become available later this week. Patch 1.2 will go live somewhere mid-January. This has been a very eventful year for us. We have built and released our first game, and even though it was months ago, it feels like it was yesterday. We would like to thank all of you once again for being with us and supporting the project - without you, none of this would ever happen! Happy holidays to you all, and best wishes to you and your loved ones! May the new year find you in good health and bring you much joy! Owlcats. Please, be aware of plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)! New content

• The "Against All Odds" quest didn't count as completed even when it was. Resolution: fixed.

• Some pages could be missing in the Epilogue. Resolution: fixed.

• How to Build a Kingdom quest could get stuck on the "Found a new village" objective in some cases. Resolution: fixed.
• The conversation in the Throne Room that raises the Arcane stat to rank X wouldn't trigger if you had the Storyteller as your magister. Resolution: fixed.

Resolution: exiting the kingdom interface now returns you to the personal chambers in this case, so the romantic encounter can be finally resolved.

• Fixed a crash-to-menu that could sometimes happen when entering an area from the Global Map while having an active animal companion.
• Some item enchantment parameters (i.e., the DC of saving throws against the item's abilities) would not get saved when saving the game, leading to incorrect values after loading (it still could be fixed by re-equipping the item). Resolution: fixed, all item parameters are now saved.

Dear Pathfinders! The Owlcat Games team, along with the baron's team, wish you a Merry Christmas and all the good, and all the loot!

Hello everyone! Please, be aware of the plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)! Quests

Dear pathfinders, Even while delivering our first major DLC, the Wildcards, we never stopped working with your feedback and suggestions.

The next big step for us will be Patch 1.2, which should become available in the middle of the January. In the meantime, we will keep reading your bug reports and monitoring your posts in order to resolve the most pressing issues in Hotfixes.

• From now on, if during Jubilost's "Door to Nowhere" quest the player chooses to grant immortality to a random gnome (Nyrd), she will appear in Irovetti's Palace regardless of whether the player killed her before or not.

Dear Pathfinders, we have an important update for you today: we have made the decision to move the release date of The Wildcards DLC to next week. The last two months have taught us a good lesson it is always better to take some extra time to make sure everything is ready, and we feel like we should not rush our first major DLC. To ensure we deliver the experience and quality you deserve, we will dedicate additional time and effort to The Wildcards. We hope you can understand our decision - it was not one that was made easily, however, we believe it was the right one. Thank you for bearing with us, and thank you for your patience!

More then 60 unique issues were fixed thanks to your reports since the beginning of the Beta. And we've also out around 200 other unique suggestions and issues on our task list for the next patch (unfortunately, we can't fix everything in a glimpse, so we prioritize and address major issues first). We'd like to highlight that we carefully read through bug reports threads on Steam and GoG forums, as well as the official forum at owlcatgames.com and the fan-run Discord group, in order to record all the issues described there. We can't answer all the messages personally - sorry for that! - but, just to be clear, we ensure you we care about everything you post, and eventually we will address all reports. To make bug reporting easier, we've decided to keep the internal bug report form in the release version. There won't be a "Bug Report" button as in Beta, so as not to clutter the interface, but on pressing F11 you will be able to send us your thoughts together with all the required information (screenshot, save file and logs collected automatically). As soon as Version 1.1 goes live, we'll continue working on Release 1.2, which we expect to deliver around Christmas. Meanwhile, we will keep addressing newly-found critical issues in hotfixes and other updates. Stay tuned - there will be more news about upcoming updates pretty soon! Sincerely, Owlcats.

Dear pathfinders, While working on the Release 1.1 version we continue to pay close attention to the issues you keep posting to us (we can't miss the opportunity to say one more time how much we appreciate your help!). As we promised, in this hotfix we are addressing the most critical issues we have solution for by now. It's highly likely that we will have one or two more hotfixes before 1.1 version is ready to go live. The 1.1 version is scheduled for release between November 12th and 16th. We plan to have it available in Beta branch on the next week (we will soon post the detailed instructions on how to play the Release 1.1 Beta). Please, be aware of the plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)! Quest

• One of the arguments to convince Jaethal not to sacrifice her daughter during the "Reveal My Destiny" quest was missing if the player chose to "destroy Urgathoa ritual" while talking with Taneka during Jaethal's "Chase My Shadow" quest. Resolution: fixed. If this argument is the decisive one for those players who tried to convince Jaethal, failed and then chose "attack Jaethal" instead, the quest result will be changed. Jaethal will appear at the critical point at the House at the Edge of Times area and act as if she was convinced to let go of her evil ways.

Dear pathfinders, Starting from this hotfix, we are changing our development approach. We have got more than one thousand bugs exterminated by now in the 1.1 version of the game. All of those are waiting to be checked and released. To release the 1.1 version we have to refocus the team effort from making frequent hotfixes to working on this big patch. It would take a whole week at minimum to test every aspect of our complex game. That means we need to reduce the frequency of hotfixes and the amount of fixes they consist of during the next 1-2 weeks (although we will definitely attempt to address the most critical issues whether they arise). Once the Release 1.1 version will be close to stable, we plan to make it available for everyone in special beta branch. We would welcome those players who are interested to check the new version before it released. The detailed instruction how to play the Release 1.1 beta will be available soon.

• Some magical items could have issues with empty descriptions of their magical traits in the tooltips. Resolution: fixed.

• Days of the week could display incorrectly. Resolution: fixed.
• There was no direct way to check the build version. Resolution: the build version has been added to the Main Menu.
• The description for Enemy Difficulty settings didn't reveal all the mechanical elements altered by this option. Resolution: a more detailed description has been added for the Enemy Difficulty settings. Kingdom
• It was unclear and confusing that after defeating the main threat of the chapter, all of the kingdom events associated with that threat remained active. Resolution: after defeating the main threat of the chapter, all of the kingdom events associated with that threat are removed from the barony. In case there are too many of such events, the kingdom is considered damaged and its development is slowed down. This state can be removed with special new barony project.
• It was not always clear that some events can destroy the kingdom if not addressed. Resolution: a more detailed description added for the events that damage the kingdom and projects that remove these events.

• Valerie's quest ability "Valorous" provided Strength and Constitution bonuses instead of Strength and Charisma. Resolution: "Valorous" ability provides Strength and Charisma, as per description.
• Metamagic rods didn't work for sorcerers. Resolution: fixed.
• Enemy Difficulty settings affected saving throws twice - the first time by increasing the enemy ability scores and the second time with a specific bonus to saving throws. Such implementation forced players to avoid spells with saving throws on the higher difficulties. Resolution: Saving throws are now affected by the Enemy Difficulty settings only once by increasing of base ability scores.

• New pack of localization fixes.

• Some players have persistent issues loading game saves that we were unable to reproduce so far. After analyzing possible threats that may cause this issue we implemented improvements that hopefully would fix the problem.
• Some players complained about being thrown out of the game and to the Main Menu while entering the Throne Room (including the exit while trying to rest at the capital). Resolution: fixed.

Hello everyone! The weekend is coming, and the team is doing its best to solve some more issues before our dear pathfinders will have well-deserved opportunity to relax and play after another long workweek. It happens we have a chance to publish one more hotfix today. Please, be aware that there are plot spoilers in the descriptions below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)! Quests

• The Secluded Lodge area has an empty caption on the Global Map during the "Deal with the Devil" quest. Resolution: fixed.
• The option to give an Emerald Necklace to Kimo was not available. Resolution: fixed.

• In some cases, players couldn't return Bartholomew his whip. Resolution: fixed.
• Some players complained about a missing part of the Storyteller dialogue in the Throne Room – there was no option to sell mementos. Resolution: fixed.
• Flintlock Grasslands area will no longer be inaccessible after all events are completed in that location (this is to reduce the size of save files).
• In some cases, after the dialogue with Amiri at the end of Flintlock Grasslands only Amiri stayed under player's control - the rest of the party could go missing. Resolution: fixed.
• Incorrect loot icon on the Map of Old Sycamore Dungeon (no loot was available, in fact). Resolution: fixed.

• Some area elements could be loaded incorrectly during the "Burying the Past" quest at Ruined Watchtower. Resolution: fixed.

• There were no options to learn feats to use the following exotic weapons: Dwarven Urgrosh, Gnome Hooked Hammer, Orc Double Axe, Two-bladed Sword. Resolution: "Exotic Weapon Proficiency" feat has the corresponding choices now.
• Such exotic weapons as the Gnome Hooked Hammer, Orc Double Axe и Sling Staff were not counted as special weapon for gnomes, half-orcs and halflings accordingly. Resolution: fixed.

• There were issues with "Combat text", "Party information in combat", "Enemy information in combat" (so called Overtips settings) and "Dialogue" settings : 1) players did not understand that these settings are stored within the save file; 2) the value of these settings could be changed by switching "Immersion Mode". Resolution: the Overtips and "Dialogue" settings are moved to "Difficulty" page of the Options. Difficulty page is no longer available form Main Menu.
• Cleric couldn't be level-upped if there were no options in domain progression. Resolution: fixed.
• Spells from another character’s spells list could show up during a caster level-up. Resolution: fixed.
• Key binding for the tactical pause is displayed correctly in the tutorial message now.

• The "Invincible Kingdom" option was added. When turned on, your barony or kingdom will not be destroyed even when its state drops below Crumbling. This option is switched on by default for the "Story mode" difficulty. Please note that story critical events tied to the main threat of the chapter can still destroy your kingdom! However, you will get several warnings before that happens.
• The artisan Bokken would come every time you get to the Throne Room with the same dialogue. Resolution: fixed.

• Wrong sound effects for druid wild shape transformations. Resolution: fixed. New pack of localization fixes for FR, DE, ZH (mostly).

Dear Pathfinders, After considering the upcoming feedback we decided that it will be better to focus on releasing hotfixes with the best possible frequency rather then spending time on testing the next big version. The way we see it now we will keep preparing hotfixes during the next 1-2 weeks. The so called "big patch" with several hundreds improvements and minor fixes will be released after October, 22nd. Please be aware that there are story spoilers in the descriptions below (at Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections). Quests

• Tristian's dialogue may not work correctly during Saving Grace quest. Resolution: fixed.
• If the player skips the first quest with Bartholomew and then returns with a whip, the incorrect dialogue is triggered. Resolution: fixed.
• 2nd Valerie romance event may not start and lock the party in the tavern instead. Resolution: fixed. Players already trapped in the tavern need to exit it for the event to start correctly.

• Amiri may not appear in the beginning of Flintlock Grassland area and the story events don't start in this case. Resolution: fixed.
• Amiri returns as not active companion after the events at Flintlock Grassland. If the player takes her into the party she may be not visible and not controllable. Resolution: fixed.
• There may be infinite loading after entering the portal at Temple of the Elk. Resolution: fixed.
• Bokken may disappear from Oleg's Tradind Post in some cases. Resolution: fixed.
• Chief Sootscale can't be killed if the player returns to the first level of the Old Sycamore Dungeon after the "baronation" event. Resolution: fixed.
• Tristian may not leave the location after meeting with Raven. Resolution: fixed.
• Players are unable to reach the Hunting Grounds area - required for Ekun quest - if they decided not to participate in the Noble Safari event earlier. Resolution: fixed.
• There may be issue with Tristian behavior at Vordakai's Tomb. Resolution: fixed.
• The certain cutscene may freeze during the final fight at the first level of Vordakai's Tomb. Resolution: fixed.
• Party may lack camp rations at Vordakai's Tomb. Resolution: camp rations are added at Vordakai's Tomb.
• Loot can't be picked up at Ruins of the Old Tower area. Resolution: fixed.

• The description for the Cloak of Resistance +2 stated that it gives +1 resistance bonus to saving throws despite it actually giving +2. Resolution: fixed.

• The wizard's list of spells includes spells from the previous levels during Level-Ups. Resolution: fixed.
• Missing description for some abilities in class progression table for example for Sage Sorcerer. Resolution: class progression table was improved.
• On of the Chinese character is missing in ZH localization. Resolution: fixed.
• There is no option to see the day of the week (required for some quests). Resolution: the day of the week is available in the hourglass tooltip.
• There are cases when quest's objectives are not visible in the Quest Journal, for example for Twice-Born Warlord quest. Resolution: fixed.
• A bunch of new unique icons added (mostly for wands and potions).
• The "Arcane spell failure chance" string is visible in divination casters spellbook. Resolution: the string is removed.
• Amiri's portrait is doubled in party selection interface. Resolution: fixed.

• When the boss of the chapter is defeated on the exact day she/he is supposed to destroy the kingdom, the corresponding event that is destroying your kingdom is removed.

• If Kassil was chosen as an envoy and then was killed at Flintlock Grassland he might still appear during coronation event at Throne Room. Resolution: fixed.
• Varnhold and Pitax settlements are not working. Resolution: fixed.

• Jaethal is not immune to negative levels. Resolution: fixed.
• Feyspeaker archetype of druid previously has orisons that wrongly based their DCs on Wisdom, instead of scaling off Charisma like all other Feyspeaker spells. Resolution: Feyspeaker orisons scale their DCs off Charisma.
• At character creation, the game does not change stat recommendation for Feyspeaker, pointing the Wisdom as recommended and Charisma as not recommended. Resolution: Charisma is a recommended stat for Feyspeaker.
• Vital Strike feat does not give the appropriate usable ability. Resolution: fixed.
• Extra Arcane Pool feat does not increase the pool of Eldritch Scions. Resolution: fixed.
• Weapon Training bonus isn't shown in the tooltips of attack rolls. Resolution: fixed.
• Hideous Laughter requires target intelligence to be higher than 2 for you to be able to cast it. This, combined with penalties for Weak Enemies (default setting for enemy difficulty on Easy Mode and Story Mode), lead to the case that some enemies in this weakened state are too dumb to get the jokes. Resolution: fixed, the Hideous Laughter now takes only the base intelligence of the target into account.
• Greater Vital Strike has the same description as normal Vital Strike. Resolution: Greater Vital Strike now has correct description.
• Duelist Precise Strike has no description and is not visible in the class progression table and in the character ability list. It also works only for characters with a sneak attack. Resolution: both problems are fixed.
• Players may select Point-Blank Master, Slashing Grace and Fencing Grace while not having Weapon Focus/Weapon Specialization with an appropriate weapon. This lead to the case when they see an empty list of available selection. Resolution: Slashing Grace now requires Weapon Focus with a one-handed slashing weapon, Fencing Grace requires Weapon Focus with a one-handed piercing weapon and Point Blank Master requires Weapon Specialization with a ranged weapon.
• Freedom of Movement is classified as a Necromancy spell. Resolution: Freedom of Movement properly counts as an Abjuration spell now.

• FX trails may work not correctly after multiple save/load. Resolution: fixed. New pack of localization fixes for FR, DE, ZH.

• There are reports of quits to the main menu when changing scenes on rare occasions. Resolution: more logging is added and a temporary workaround is implemented (there should be no quits but area lighting may not work correctly).

Hotfix Update #2 Dear Pathfinders, The issue has been fixed. The correct Windows version of the hotfix is available starting from 10PM (PT timezone). Special thanks to Valve for supporting us at this late hour. Huge apology for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience! Hotfix Update Dear Pathfinders, Unfortunately, there is a problem with the Windows version of the hotfix we’ve just uploaded. While the Mac and Linux versions function properly, the Windows build doesn’t have 80% of the fixes we’ve implemented since Monday. For those who want to know the details, the main issue is that at character generation and level-up UI, the list of spells have become invisible. The list is still there, you can still use them and click on them, but you cannot really see them except for the tooltips. This happened due to a bug in our infrastructure, and, while we’ve already tracked it down and dealt with it, it will take several hours until the issue is completely resolved. As we speak, the servers at our studio are compiling the correct version of the hotfix for Windows. Once again, this issue should not concern our Mac and Linux users – as far as we know, all is fine in their versions of the hotfix. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and we’re doing our best to get it right this time. Hello everyone! We keep receiving a lot of your precious feedback which we convert into taskssuggestionsugs on the fly. Thank you very much! Special thanks for those who keep providing us with their saves files and logs submitted to technical@owlcatgames.com. That tremendously helps us to understand the exact nature of the reported issues. Major Issues

• Dueling Mastery requires Dodge instead of Weapon Finesse and did not give proper Shield Bonus to AC and initiative bonus. Resolution: fixed.

Hello everyone! Thank you very much for your ongoing feedback. It encourages us to work fiercely on polishing the game. We are desperately sorry that we can't fix everything at once. But let us assure you that every comment will be addressed. New Features Changes to the difficulty. We hear a lot of comments about the difficulty of the fights. We are introducing several changes - we introduce changes to the easier difficulty modes to enhance the player experience for those, who selected them. On the Story Mode difficulty, such mechanics as Damage Reduction, Damage Immunity, and Regeneration will be switched off, while on Easy mode their power will be reduced (less reduction or regeneration respectively). We are adding an additional warning to the Hard and Unfair modes to provide better information about upcoming challenges and the general difficulty of the game so that players can make an informed choice. We'd like to stress the Normal mode is a recommended one, especially for the people not familiar with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game system and for the first time players. We are also making some changes to the some of the encounters in the prologue and 1st chapter of the game. To make it clear, we are not reducing general difficulty in all settings, we are fixing several places where this difficulty was not intentional. Also, we provide more information on overcoming the challenge in the place where it was:

• Scare ability in the final fight in Prologue is changed to the communal Protection from Alignment: Good. There are almost no abilities to counter Scare effect in the prologue party, so this ability tends to make combat too chaotic and unnecessary random on the harder difficulty settings.
• The first encounter on the road to the Oleg's Trading Post was never intended to be a great challenge, this area is still part of the tutorial, and difficulty of the fight is taking away from learning about the camp. Wolves were changed to Thylacines, their stats are close, but Thylacines have no trip ability.
• Bokken will properly warn the player about the swarms in the cave and provide them with several flask of Alchemist's Fire. In addition, the tutorial about swarms and how to deal with them will be shown when entering the cave.
• It should be mentioned that the 1st chapter's story is branching into the two different paths, making some of the encounters harder than desired on the first path selected.
• Fangberry quest is very hard on low level. Resolution:
  • Bokken warns about quest difficulty and gives 6 flasks of Alchemist's Fire.
  • The special tutorial message is added about dealing with spider swarm.
• Bear-like Treant in Temple of the Elk will now have less Damage Reduction.
• Bear-like Treant fight difficulty is reduced if the player gets there earlier enough (at low levels and without previously following Tartuccio). The fix won't be applied for games saved within the area.
• Some companions joined the party fatigued and damaged in Ancient Tomb and Old Sycamore areas. Resolution: fixed.
• Ancient Tomb: persuaded companion now joins the party after a fight with Tartuccio's Mercenaries.
• Random encounters with creatures too difficult to the current average party level could be rolled. Resolution: fixed

• There may be issues with Valery romance progressing. Resolution: fixed.
• Crash to the main menu when certain romance scenes are activated. Resolution: fixed.

• One of the story development paths causes a wrong Capital state in Chapter 3. Resolution: fixed
• 50% spellcasting fail chance after entering the castle in Verdant Chambers location. Resolution: fixed.
• Сut-scene may freeze at the Capital square at the beginning of the second act. Resolution: fixed.
• Sycamore hall is hard to find. Resolution: marker on the local map is added.
• Some monsters in random encounters gave an incorrect amount of experience. Resolution: fixed.

• Amulet of Mighty Fists now properly gives bonuses to attack rolls.

• There is no way to understand the nature of zero damage. Resolution: Information about immunities and damage reduction is added to the Battle Log (available in tooltips).
• Tutorial messages about mechanics of the "damage reduction" were added before combats with the first creatures with damage reduction
• Time delay for tooltip appearance after a mouse click was too big. Resolution: reduced.
• An issue with male elven hairs and capes visualization while playing Ranger and Rogue classes. Resolution: fixed.
• NPC Hassuf has empty lines in vendor list. Resolution: fixed.
• Unlocalized loot window title. Resolution: fixed.
• An issue with Chinese localization in Quest notification. Resolution: fixed.

• An Ancient Formula quest may be reported as completed before actually completing it. Resolution: fixed.

• Controlled Fireball damages allies. Resolution: fixed.
• Wizard familiar bond list has Hunter's Bond available for selection. Resolution: fixed.

• Missing or wrong German, French and Chinese localization. Resolution: the next batch of issues is fixed.
• No text on computers with Spanish and Italian system locale. Resolution: fixed.
• An issue with the backer items description in Credits. Resolution: fixed.
• Several achievements were unlocking incorrectly. Resolution: fixed.

• Loading may cause an issue with previously saved file. Resolution: fixed.
• Graphics settings auto-detection may detects higher configuration on Linux. Resolution: fixed.
• Crash while saving with specific path or locale. Resolution: fixed.

Thanks for your Patience and all your comments! The following major issues were fixed:

• Issue with saves loading on Linux and Mac builds. Resolution: fixed.
• Occasional exits to Main Menu while loading locations ("Error Message, Return to Title Screen"). Resolution: fixed.

• Romances with two companions simultaneously may cause an issue (never-ending loading). Resolution: fixed.

• Oleg's Trading Post: oil trap is not visible. Resolution: fixed.

• Party companions can't be selected by ALt+N. Resolution: fixed.
• The first game launch may take several minutes. Resolution: As a quick improvement added a warning about this issue on the initial loading screen. We will try to improve the first loading time in the upcoming hotfixes.
• It's difficult to distinguish newly revealed areas on Global Map. Resolution: add FX and question symbol for recently revealed locations.
• Issues with custom companion: the character model may be not visible in the Character UI. Resolution: fixed.
• "Crow" (kingdom "messenger") may break Global Map UI. Resolution: fixed.
• Specific combination of graphic options may break UI decals on several areas. Resolution: fixed.

• Some tooltips with class descriptions have unclear wording. Resolution: improved.

• Random crash on computers with specific time zone settings. Resolution: fixed.
• Issue with switching game window between several displays. Resolution: fixed.
• General game client stability improvements.

• Several strings are missed in German localization. Resolution: fixed.
• Special Characters were not visible (French and Turkish system localization settings). Resolution: fixed.
• Several non-localized German strings. Resolution: fixed.

A SMILODON is an extinct genus of machairodont felid…a “WHUAT?” you may ask…but trust us – when you meet a living one in Pathfinder: Kingmaker you WILL stop asking questions.

NEREIDS symbolized everything that is beautiful and kind about the sea in Greek mythology. Well, we will find out what’s their role in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, won’t we?

Remember that pop song about who was letting the dogs out? Well, this HELL HOUND in Pathfinder: Kingmaker makes you think twice about such nonsense!

In Pathfinder: Kingmaker you are confronted with over 100 monsters. This week we will take a look at some of the medium sized entities you will come across. Let’s start with a real beauty – the GIANT SPIDER. Oh, have we triggered a bit of arachnophobia here?

Dear Pathfinders! It's time for another retrospective update! And this time it's all about menus, character sheets, book events - all those wonderful things which let you interact with our game world! While many of the articles linked in today's updates show a work in progress and may look a little different in the release version, they will still give you a good idea about what to expect, and the general idea and thought process behind each of the elements shown. We did look into our UI briefly when we mentioned our combat log the other day. But there's still so much more! First of all, there's our character sheet. Each character's strengths and weaknesses, skills, spells, all sorts of statistics from alignment to armor class and even a biography can be found here. Throughout our game you will interact with the world through something we like to call Book Events. That's where the game quite literally shows you a book, written by your chronicler Linzi, and describes a situation you and your party are facing. Decisions must be made, there are skill checks to be passed and the outcome of these events will influence your progress through the story. You can read all about it in this update, which also goes into the design and creation process of these events, from finding the right appearance for our book to picking the perfect font. Next up, there's our camp UI. Exploring the Stolen Lands is hard work and your party will get exhausted sooner or later. So rather than just sorting that out with a click on a sleep button, we wanted things to be a little deeper. Camouflage the camp, so it won't get attacked by monsters while you sleep. Put a few party members on guard duty. Send someone out to hunt for supplies. If you want to take a closer look at our camp management interface, then this is the update for you. And then there's the loot. So, so much loot. You do what adventurers do, murder an entire camp of bandits and next thing you know, you're buried under a mountain of shortswords and leather armors. And being the environmentally aware ruler that you are, you want to avoid littering and cart all of that good stuff to the nearest vendor. And if you want to know what buying and selling looks like in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, then check out this update. Speaking of adventuring - if you want to see what our global map looks like as you go about your quest to conquer the Stolen Lands, check out our Creative Director Alexander Mishulin's video on the subject here. Finally, if you'd like to know more about the development process of our UI, what inspires us and how we use the reactions and feedback of our testers to make improvements, be sure to take a closer look at this update. And if you'd like to know what our focus-testing sessions look like, you can find video footage inside this article. Hail to the Kings! Owlcats
