Yep, felt the same way on reddit. Sometimes, I started writing a comment but then halfway through I thought to myself “can I really muster the energy to engage with people who just skim through it or aggressively pick it apart and write an essay on how right they are with sources either taken out of their ass or taken out of context just to suit their viewpoints?”. So I just ended up deleting it and go back to lurking.

“So, you just spend all day reading books, right?”

I remember playing the demo of the first one (and then the game) when I was a kid and absolutely loving it, so I can’t wait to get back into it after all these years.

I also had no idea From Software created the Armored Core series (or, I guess, didn’t remember) so it came as a shock to me after watching 6’s first trailer and seeing their logo there.

Oh ok, good to know, thanks! I don’t mind harder to follow stories, and having more character customization options is always a good thing for me. I guess I’ll go with WOTR.

That’s ok, I don’t mind exposition. I’ll probably go with WotR, then, thanks!

That said, whichever game you start with, I’d strongly recommend you download a mod to trivialise the management minigame

d) can brick your campaign if you screw them up.

Wow wtf, really? Thank you very much for the tip!

Yeah, I know about Baldur’s Gate 3. Made by Larian, no less, so my expectations are kinda high. I played (but never finished) the first one and I remember liking it at the time but thinking it was a bit dated. But I loved the traditional CRPG experience so I hope they stay true to that, more or less.

Yeah, the more people mention, the more that kingdom management part is not looking good. Thankfully, as someone already mentioned, there are mods to handle both that and the crusade management part in WotR. But turning off all failure conditions is also a good option to keep in mind, so thanks.

It makes builds a lot more flexible, too, compared to Kingmaker/base PF1e.

That’s nice to know, thanks! And thanks for the recruiting tips as well.

Yeah, if I like Wrath, I’ll probably get Kingmaker as well at some point.

Guess I made the right choice, then, as I went with Wrath :).

I had one game-breaking bug where I had to install a mod to teleport out of an inaccessible area after the game deleted an elevator

That’s good to know, in case it happens to me as well.

And thanks for quick analysis of the writing. I didn’t actually ask but I was also curious about that.
