The kickstarter itself isn't live yet

I'm tentatively excited about it. I'm a huge fan of games like Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment, so it always fills me with nostalgic glee to see a game in those same veins.
That said, I'm not sure how well the game will pan out since it is based on an AP using the Pathfinder ruleset but I'll still get it and play it. At least the Kickstartee will be focused on giving more stuff (classes, equipment, companions, etc) and not to actually fund it.

Post the character you want to play
I'd love to play an Elf Alchemist.

OP here.
Im not particularly familiar with the pathfinder rulesets. I've only played a handful of sessions with Pathfinder.
But from what knowledge I have picked up lurking, if they directly copy the Pathfinder core, wont some classes just be dogshit to play as?
Also is Kingmaker a good adventure path to convet to a videogame?

Kingmaker is an excellent AP to turn into a video game, its equal parts dungeon crawl, exploration, and kingdom building. Lots of things for a player to do.
>>53564564
That's my take on this as well.
>>53563929
I kinda want to see what all options and shit there are first but I think, if possible, some sort of Witch that way I can better align with Irrisen.
>>53562591
Not sure. On the one hand it sounds like a shout out to Baldur's Gate II and Icewind Dale. On the other it is Pathfinder and stuff...
I wish we could've gotten a 4e videogame
>game is being made by literally who for literally who studio
It's gonna be shit rip

I thought there was one, Daggerdale. Sure, it was shit and I agree, it would have been far, far better had they really stuck with the 4e rules but still.
>>53566035
Studios have to start somewhere, anon. At least this one is stocked with people who have been in the industry for some time.

Daggerdale was shit and got dropped faster than a flaming turd. They had a system that seemed to have taken a lot of cues from video games (more FF Tactics than WoW in my opinion) and they fucked it up and then promised more games in the Daggerdale line that became vaporware.

This is going to be horrible garbage.
Their last game is a RTS shitfest.
The screenshots make it look like they doing the same exact shit with improvements for the new game.
I would enjoy a Pathfinder video game that is turn-based like ToEE but that is definitely not what they are going for.
I don't want another fantasy RTS.
I want a fantasy turn-based tactical RPG instead.

So...a shittier version of Pillars of Eternity?

Reminds me of Baldur's Gate so I'll give it at least a shot.
