    It’s one of the best RPGs in the last decade, easy. Unless you already know how pathfinder works, it’s going to take longer than two months to beat it. There’s an insane amount of gameplay.

      Ahh… i remember kingmaker. 200 hours is what a single playthrough took. Wrath of the rightuous improved greatly upon the previous game.

        Yeah, 220 hours for mine, including the DLC campaign. Game is a buggy mess though and not properly balanced, especially near the end. As long as WotR improves at least those things, I’d be happy.

          not properly balanced

          IME, that’s just the dangers of running Pathfinder. There can be such a disparity between a well built character and someone just going through character creation picking random stuff that it’s hard to balance for both possibilities. As a DM, I’ve always kinda played it by ear and tried to have some way to scale the difficulty on the fly built into as many encounters as I can.

            Since I got basically no experience with DnD or PF, I’ve used build guides for my playthrough, so I’d like to think they were well built.

            As I’ve written in another post, the last third of the game was just a complete slog, with overtuned enemies, that took far too long to kill.

              I haven’t gotten that far into the game, but I can’t imagine how awful that would be with a badly built character if it was a slog with a good one. If it wasn’t such a time investment, I’d consider building an intentionally awful party and see how brutal it was lol.
