TIL Inquisitors don't get Inquisitions

Just some minor ramblings at the start of a new run

So I've played a few times, now, and I've wanted to do an Aeon run for a while, just couldn't decide on what. I finally decided to make a crossbow vital strike Inquisitor.

I thought it'd be perfect, throw in a touch of Rowdy on a Sanctified Slayer, all my saves will be good, but most of all, I thought I could really boost my Perception and Pursuasion in a way I haven't before. Perception would be easy, but Persuasion relied on the Conversion Inquisition.

For those who don't play PnP, Inquisitors have access to different Inquisitions, their equivalent of a Cleric's Domain. The Conversion Inquisition gives you Wisdom to your Persuasion skills, in addition to Stern Gaze's bonus to intimidate.

I thought I was sooooo clever. I get home, boot up the game, and I see nothing but Domains. Owlcat never added Inquisitions and none of the Cleric Domains have an equivalent feature

My disappointment is immeasurable. My day isn't ruined, but it has been very minorly inconvenienced. Moral of the story... Idfk I just wanted to scream into the void about this while I decided on spells for the character

I never realized you don't actually have to have Nenio in your party for her personal quest. She just shows up when needed. This feels oddly in character for her.

My assassins can't teleport in crusade fights.

I don't know why either. They're supposed to be able to, but any time I try to make them go to a place and stab a thing, they make the casting gesture, then the 'spell failed' noise plays. That 'chunk' sound. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I'd like to be able to use my boys

Unfair Wotr

So I'm wondering which mythic path should I take to make it relatively easy to do, I have played lich and trickster on lower difficulties and they were fine, but this time around I went with kineticist after I realised the whole kind of broken potential for deadly earth, but I don't know if I should go for demon that can potentially empower my kineticist to the fullest potential or to go angel and kind of neglect my kine for usefulness of full party getting good, any advice?

Edit for clarification I'm wondering if picking demon or any other mp over angel is that much of a downgrade, does angel make that much of a difference?

Some thoughts on the romance scenes from a dance of masks

Arue: Sweet and gentle, much like the rest of Arue's romance. It's a good cooldown from the rest of the events of the DLC.

Galfrey: Poignantly bittersweet, but shows that Galfrey still has feelings for you. I enjoy seeing her get flustered.

Wenduag: Hot, brutal, and spicy. Again, much like the rest of her romance, with undercurrents of the same dom/sub play she craves so much. As well as some genuine affection and love. Probably my favorite, because you set a lot of shit on fire before fucking her brains out.

Camellia: Absolutely psychotic. Just... Kept me guessing right up until the last second and even afterwards. I've come around to Camellia as a character. Used to not like her, but her unhinged freak is a nice counterpoint to the seriousness of everything else.

Halflings, gnomes and dwarves.

Why you never create them? Is it their stats? Romance issues? Portrait? What is it?

Or you do... You do? Really? Amazing!

which Areshkagal should i kill with the midnight bolt?

Therfe are serveral Areshkagals in the game.
one is a shadow when you finish the fragment puzzles quest.
then there is one who come down to the center puzzle of the enigma to scare you.

later, on the top of the building, there is one areshkagal, you hit him, she is divided in 2, then you kill both, then some enemies appear, and when you destorty them, 4 new areshkagals appear , so which one of all of them i need to hit with the midnigth bolt?

Mace and Shield Paladin.

So I am making a mace and shield Paladin which is covered in heavy armor. Mainly due to the fact the character I am basing him off, an OC of mine, is indeed a paladin who wields a shield and mace. I understand that for min-maxxing purposes that this build is probably not spectacular. Still, I am very interested in doing it for the aesthetic.

Do you have any suggestions on feats I can take to make this build fun? Not so much viable, because I am playing on normal, but just fun?

This picture made by my friend Snazzy Pumpkin is the reference.

Rogue Trade lover (not just fan. BUT LOVER) here. Is Pathfinder for me? Should I start with KM or WotR?

So I've seen Pathfinder games for pretty cheap but I never really sunk into them because frankly I don't have the attention span to sit through 500 hours of plain text and boring combat.

Since I am an all time 40k fan I jumped into Rogue trader. Loved every second of it. The writing was gripping, and often hillarious, and the game was honestly very pretty especially in enemy designs. What I least expected though was that the game's combat is not just good. It's absolutely stellar. I loved every second of it.

After this, I am naturally eyeing up Pathfinder again.

What I expect out of the games:

  • Same level of Sound and VA quality as in Rogue trader (Generally good, with some absolute standouts)
  • Stellar world building. Great main story
  • Similar frequency and interesting fluff of Random encounters as in Rogue trader. (Basically, I really liked how going from one system to another always had some quirky thing happening)
  • Fun combat, preferably turn based. One of the main things that holds me back from the old BG games, Planescape and Pillars for example, is that I am just mashing space like a maniac, never really understanding what's going on. I somehow exist in a reality where I am simultaneously bored out of my mind, and concentrate really hard to not fuck up a combo. But I usually don't manage. I much prefer the ol' turn based approach. One of the cRPGs I enjoyed despite it being RT was Dragon Age. Couldn't tell you why though
  • Good side quests. I'm okay with collect 7500 pieces of sould shard to get special interaction, type of quests, I actually kinda like them, but you could torture me with another "Go to place X kill Y number of enemies, come back, oh no I betrayed you (optional), kill Z number of enemies" rinse and repeat. I like side quests that are either actual characters, having actual problems, that you have multiple ways to solve for them, or encounter type side quests. But the key here is that more combat / more XP should never be the reason I play the quest

Finally the most important question. If I decide to play Pathfinder, should I start with Kingmaker or WotR. I know diddly dick about the Pathfinder (or indeed the D&D) world so frankly I wanna start with the entry that is a better introduction into this universe.

Does Displacement/Blur and Greater Invisibility stack?

I am trying to plan out my party for my Aeon playthrough, and I realized that my Inquisitor can cast Greater Invisibility but I won't have anyone who can cast Displacement or Blur. Does Displacement or Blur stack with Greater Invisibility, or will I be fine with just Greater Invisibility?

Having trouble deciding on a class. Want someone with a large amount of attack options and who uses magic treasures in combat with cool unique effects.

No a magic user. More like a dashing treasure hunter who uses the magic items he finds in combat. Someone with lots of options in how to attack and what tool to use in a given section.

We know well that the Commander will not be intimidated by even the most frightening creatures! Take a closer look at these silhouettes and try to guess who they are - you've probably encountered them more than once in the Worldwound!

Best mythic path for a Renegade/Ends justify the means playthrough ?

So I'm finishing up my second playthrough of 40k:Rogue Trader and I'm thinking of giving Pathfinder:WoTR another go (I stopped playing my first campaign at around 20h, just after I rescued the succubus from some temple).

My question is: What mythic path best suits a Renegade/The Ends justify the Means/Victory at all costs type of character (LE-NE Alignement)?

Not an "I'm evil because I can be evil lol" cartoon vilain, but more of a cold, calculating, and pragmatic form of evil with the sole goal of ridding the world of the Big Evilâ„¢, no matter the cost (less of the creepy spider lady evil and more of the hellknight gnome evil).

From what I've seen:

  • Angel seems like the goody two shoes path
  • Azata is too lighthearted

-Gold Dragon looks dull -Trickster is just trolling people -Swarm makes all companions leave so that's a no -Lich looks cool but I'm not really a necromancer type and I'd like to keep my companions

That leaves me with Demon, Aeon, Devil and Legend: -Legend sounds a bit generic but flexible -Devil is maybe a step too far and risks turning into evil for the sake of being evil

Aeon and Demon therefore sound like the most compelling options:

-Demon could be a fun in a "Do you think that because I'm willing to use the enemies tactics that they're no longer my enemy?" sort of way. I'm worried however that my MC just becomes a mindless raging edgelord, although that could make a compelling tale about the danger of getting too close to the enemy.

-Aeon sounds like it's right up my alley by being an embodiment of law and order, but it's unclear on just how ruthless and independent I'm allowed to be. Can I use the bug bio weapon during the siege ? Can I bend the rules to more effectively prosecute the war ? Essentially, do I have to be LN or can I be LE ?

Besides that I know nothing about the endings but if I can turn my army against the Kingdom to either seize power or carve out my own warlord state that would be awesome.

Ok, this time I wanna go Azata!

But Hurlun just killed Ramien. I fear that failing the quest "Feud of the Faithful" prevents from taking the Azata path. I actually don't remember how I interacted with Hurlun the first time I came across him in this playthrough, but most likely I didn't show him the light of heaven.

How does the Azata unlocking work? That quest is a mess.

Game help

So ive played kingmaker quite a bit and the table top in general so im not new to the pathfinder type game system. But is there a weird scaling that i missed in WOTR for console that wasnt in kingmaker or did i miss an area? I have the settings to core rules and i understand early level struggles. Im in the sheild maze right now and i am really struggling. The mongrel guard captain monks are kicking me in the nards hard here, and the perma rage brutes are brutal. Did i miss a potential companion, or an area for some xp? I have a 4 man party atm all level 2. My ranger (2 wep fighting), the paladin, the zen archer and that half magic weapon enchater girl who i cant remember what she does. I know the basement section was clearly off the path considering it had the water elemental secret fight. But the rest of it so far is rough. Any tips would be appreciated.

Help me not be a demon

As the title says, I need your help guys.

I'm on a massive WotR kick and just finished my second demon run in a row. I absolutely love everything about that mythic path, abilities, integration into the main story, Act 4 interactivity and the Freedom Demon ending is one of the most fun and satisfying in any game I've played.

Thing is though, I'd really like to see some of the other paths but I'm struggling to settle on one.

I'm not interested in Angel and Azata so I've been looking at Lich, Aeon (potentially into Devil) and maaaybe Trickster, depending on how meme-y it is throughout the game.

I'd love to hear your experiences with these paths, especially how they compare to Demon. I'm not necessarily looking for build advice, I play on Hard mostly so it's more forgiving of non min/maxin, I'm mainly interested in how they play out in terms of story, content and reactivity. I generally play evil aligned characters but wouldn't mind going neutral either.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Custom voicepack doesn't work

Tried to make my own voicepack mod since there aren't any with Tunon's (Tyranny) voice. Followed every step from this https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13494751-how-to-guide-for-soundbankvoicepack-modding-pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/ guide, but for some reason it doesn't work. Same issue as with older voicepack mods - my character is just silent. Thing is, all the files are the same (screenshot below), so there should be no reason for it to not work..

Modded .bnk on the left, original .bnk on the right

For comparison, I've also decided to see if there's any difference between two other voicepacks I have, one which is outdated and the other I'm currently using. As you can see on the screenshot below, the files are quite different, so it makes sense that one of them doesn't work.

Up-to-date Mordekaiser voicepack on the left, outdated Vhailor voicepack on the right

Am I missing something? Or is it just that this guide is flawed/outdated? I tried both the RBXV bnk editor and the python script, same result..

I'm playing a wizard lich KC. Can I have the triceratops animal companion and the undead champion or do I need a party member have the triceratops?

So I just finished taking drezen. Now I'm wondering if I can use the item that gives a triceratops animal companion to my wizard lich even though he has the undead champion.

Can't use Raise Dead scroll

I have a bit of a situation on the PS4 version of the game (probably key to the issue).

Regongar is dead and apparently I left things in that state for a while when I played the game last year. Now I've resumed the save, and only noticed this after multiple in-game days. Who knows how long he's been gone 😬

In that context, I'd like to try and get him back, but the methods I've read don't seem to work.

So, I'll be in the throne room (has Jhod) or the market place of the capital (has Arsinoe), pull up the inventory screen (though I think any of these screens work), then switch to Regongar as the active character (on ps4, that's through the L2 trigger). With inventory still open, I look for the Raise Dead scroll given by Lady Aldori.

Here's where it doesn't work as intented: "Use" is grayed out. It's only active if Tristian is active, as he could "legally" cast the spell (he can actually cast it without a scroll). I tried equipping the scroll to Regongar's belt slots but it still isn't Use-able.

Note that Regongar is not in my party, and is NOT available to be added to the party! Otherwise I'd gladly have Tristian cast the spell on the grayed out party portrait :(

So, keeping in my that this is on PS4, not PC, has anyone ever had the issue and is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there a workaround?

Specific Build for Seelah

Hey I am looking for a specific build for Seelah with the following in mind:

I want her to have MoJ. And also I want full pet progression.

My idea is to turn all the pets into dragons with BFT, and my MC as well since he is shifter and apparently they seem to work well with dragon form, to have multiple dragons in the party.

Are any specific pets better at being dragons than others? Also what should I multiclass Seelah in to keep her relevant? I was thinking maybe demonslayer? Is it worth for only 8-9 level? Maybe an oracle level for cha to pet saving throws? I only have two pets though.

Also I would like to take the mythic buckler feat on her to boost the party AC even more.

On unfair if that matters at all.

Accomplished Sneak Attacker with one level of Rogue

I thought in Kingmaker that if I took a 1 level dip of a Rogue or other class that gave 1d6 sneak attack, that adding the Accomplished Sneak Attacker feat would raise that to 2d6. In Wrath of the Righteous that doesn't seem to be the case, even though my total character level is 10 with 1 level in Rowdy and the other 9 in a class that does not get sneak attacks, Accomplished Sneak Attacker does nothing. Is this by design and was it changed from Kingmaker? Is this the proper implementation of the table top rules?

Who's your ride-or-die team?

For me:

Seelah: She's the first party member you meet. She has your back through some really dark times, and she's not an old stick in the mud Lawful Stupid paladin.

Arueshalae: She's almost the last party member you recruit I think, and her innate build isn't the best, but she's such a sweetheart. You can tell right from the get-go that she's desperately trying to be a better person. And while she has her lapses (spying on people), she reads to me as more 'doesn't get social cues' rather than 'stupid'.

Wenduag: She literally betrays the demons for you. Sure, she's only following you because she thinks you're the strongest, but remember she meets you at like level 1/2, and you're at best level 3 when she's given the option to betray you for savamelekh for the first time. Plus, she's a cutie and I can fix her.

Ember: Besides being just the sweetest lil' cinnamon roll, she's also a major powerhouse. She gets some of the best blasting spells, rocks control as a witch with enchantment spells, and even if she didn't have any casting, her hexes can carry you the whole game.

My teams without a doubt always contain these four characters, plus the MC. The last slot is usually for whoever's quest I'm doing, or for whatever role I need filled. If I'm a caster, it's for a backup melee. If I'm melee, it's another caster (usually Daeran).

Builds question

Is there a place where people are posting their op/end game builds. I'm not very good at making my own builds and I would like to play again and I'm wanted to find some bills for the Companions and for myself to be able to play through. Was hoping for some up-to-date ones because the ones that I want to play as like, https://youtu.be/zaswEOaPy2I?si=dYumR70YQOkatqSf this one, are old and unfortunately aspects have been nerfed.
