Pros:
-Massive selection of classes which are interesting and unique.
-Lore galore.
-Fun, unexpected new mechanics introduced in nearly every act to keep this extremely long game from growing stale.
-Sometimes stressful moral quandaries that go beyond a typical Choices Matter RPGs' Good/Bad options.
-Plenty of secrets to be found if you enjoy scouring areas.
-Mods.
-Wacky enchanted equipment.
-Some really great characters.
-Robust, easy-to-use in-game bug reporting tool.

Cons:
-This is a long game, which isn't a bad thing, but in spite of the game mechanics that are fed to you throughout and the plot that keeps on giving, combat can become a bit repetitive toward the end.
-While most NPCs are fun and engaging, some suffer from Jar-Jar Binks qualities where it doesn't feel appropriate. This can be a silly, surreal game in all the right ways, but offenders chime in at the worst possible times (Lann, Seelah).
-A couple of missions found in the [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS] mechanic in the final acts are unreasonably frustrating to complete due to them requiring luck and/or skipping eons worth of in-game time. A walk-through is basically required for these.

I do not have 700+ played as my stats suggest. Probably closer to 200+. I just accidentally left it running over night a few times.

Одна из лучших изометрических РПГ нашего времени. Отличный сюжет, прекрасные, проработанные спутники, интересные квесты, музыка и прогрессия. Моё почтение

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is best game i ... i dont like.


I absolutely understand people who love it to bits though . There is so much to actually like here and i feel like i'm one step away from converting to that , but for every amazing thing WOTR does it does one point zero one thing which irritates me to hell and beyond and i'm truly left in a limbo.

The main issue i have with this game is how inconsistent and unreasonable difficulty in this game is. Yes, im perfectly aware of all different way you can customize that, and that is a very wise decision they have made but....
As someone who have played many D&D games in various formats ( yes i know this is not based on D&D but base ideas and concepts are the same so i feel like this comparison is fair up to a point ) i feel that WOTR is here just to make fun of you and your party building.

I went for Daring difficulty , which some of you may argue is too much for a first playthrough . I beg to differ. As someone who have played many of similar games ( yes not in Pathfinder rule set ) i usually go for high to higher difficulties on my 1st playthrough , have rough but at the end reasonable and rewarding experience . That is what i look for. For a challenge. And usually games do provide that . WOTR never managed that. Unless you build your party to a letter you have no business playing on anything above Normal , and i really rubs me the wrong way. It is insane how unhinged some of the encounters can be even on Daring , which is far from hardest diff.

Even worse than that is how unbalanced difficulty can be in general. Up to a point i was doing fine on Daring, having fun and really enjoying my time with the game. That lasted until several encounters where i was left with two choises : Lower the difficulty for that encounter , or start from the scrath with knowldge ive gained and build my party in a specific way which would let me get past these encounters. After a couple of such encounters where i had to lower difficulty , and then set it back again , it started to feel like i'm betraying myself . I never had to do it , there was always i way around it. WOTR doesnt seem to provide a way. You either build your party correctly or you can restart the game. And that honestly just drains all the fun of this game. I like hard games, i love Souls series , i love CRPG on high difficulties. You can feel those games slowly bending to you if you put in an effort. WOTR just doesnt, you either play it it's way or you just have to lower the difficulty which is also you bending to the game. And main issue here is that difficulty is purely mathematical if you will. There are no clever ways around , no 'puzzle' to solve and finally get an edge. Enemy simply gets stats your party cant deal with. No amount of clever positioning, preparations can help. You simply can't roll dice high enough to win.

That rubs me the wrong way.

Anyway, that's it. I will leave comments on , maybe some polite and reasonable discussions might happen, or they might on.
