Kingmaker - Q&A and Companions Guide

A Q&A about Pathfinder: Kingmaker at GOG. A companions guide at Twinfinite.

...

Q: Will the game have multiple solutions to problems (I mean like actual multiple solutions) or will the quests be more linear?

[Owl Cat Games] The direct answer is yes, almost every event has several ways to solve it. The main storyline also has a lot of different options for progression and the game has several major different endings, not counting the dozens of different minor outcomes.

Q: Is there an editor, or chance of one, so people can make their own adventures a la NWN?

[Owl Cat Games] No editor mode support right now, sorry. This is quite a huge feature. We definitely considered this during the development but we decided that we’d better focus on the game itself rather than postpone the release for several months.

Q: Would I have to know the pen and paper version of Pathfinder to really enjoy this game?

[Owl Cat Games] No, you don’t have to. All the story elements are reproduced with the addition of all new stories elements and narratives!

Tanks: Harrim

He may continuously sermon about the futility of life, but Groetus’s chosen makes for an excellent beginning tank. The dwarf’s perhaps the best support tank in the game, adding the heavy armor proficiency feat complements his role as a supportive cleric.

Leveling Harrim along as a pure support tank allows him to take the brunt of an enemy onslaught, healing your party at critical moments. Because of his array of faith-based spells available late into the game, he should be a go-to party member throughout Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Tips:

• Pure Cleric leveling allows Harrim to heal your party and become a decent tank.
• Make sure to take Coordinated Defense along with the Heavy Armor Proficiency feat. Those two will provide decent defensive buffs throughout the game.
• Remember his buffs! Prayer, Bless, and Bane each provide great bonuses throughout the game.
