description Pathfinder: Kingmaker Overview
Based on the Pathfinder orcs-and-magic system (which is heavily inspired by D&D), this game offers extreme mechanical depth. It features a massive world and complex party management, making it a great choice for players who found Baldur's Gate 3 too simple and want a more granular orcs-and-magic experience.
help Pathfinder: Kingmaker FAQ
Can Pathfinder: Kingmaker be played with turn-based combat?
Yes. The Definitive Edition added an official turn-based mode alongside the original real-time-with-pause system, and players can switch modes during a campaign.
What does kingdom management involve in Pathfinder: Kingmaker?
After claiming the Stolen Lands, the player appoints companions and other characters as advisers, resolves events, develops regions, and expands settlements. Failed projects and ignored crises can damage kingdom statistics or ultimately end the campaign.
Which tabletop rules does Pathfinder: Kingmaker use?
The game adapts the first edition of Paizo's Pathfinder role-playing system, itself descended from Dungeons & Dragons 3.5. That produces detailed character building with classes, archetypes, feats, spell preparation, and many stacking bonuses.
Should I play Kingmaker before Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous?
The stories are independent, so Kingmaker is not required before Owlcat Games' Wrath of the Righteous. Kingmaker focuses on founding a realm in the Stolen Lands, while Wrath centers on a demonic invasion and the Mythic Path system.
