I finished DoS:2 last week and want to get into another game. Would you guys suggest PF: Kingmaker with the turn based mod, or Pillars of eternity 2 turned based? Both seem interesting, and both offer turned based (not a fan of rtwp)
I finished DoS:2 last week and want to get into another game...
why would you ever want a turn based pathfinder? it's a slog even in real time
Pathfinder is the better game. Turn based is whatever in it though, the game is more or less turn based to begin with since it's all segmented into rounds that it just plays a little fast and loose with.
I would suggest Pathfinder. It toppled NWN2 for me.
Pillars 1 was a boring pile of shit and everyone I knew who played 2 thought it was even worse. I don't know much about Kingmaker but I'd suggest anything over PoE
Play with both rtwp and turnbased. Switch on turnbased for important fights while using rtwp for mowing down trash
Mechanically, PF:KM
PoE2's tb is hacked together with long casting spells taking multiple rounds to fire off. Feels akward.
PF:KM is turn based rules where someone turned off the turn pause and allowed players/units to move during others turns. TB mod feels like they fixed the game.
You can also toggle it on/off with a hot key if you find it a fight a slog. Not so in PoE2.
Semi-related: alpha for the next PF game drops next week.
The turn-based mod turns Pathfinder from an 80 hour game into a 120+ hour one just from extending the amount of time you spend in combat alone. Highly recommend playing it though, its one of the best modern rpgs you can play.
Turn-based makes Pathfinder a better game, but it has too much of rtwp's favorite pointless trash fights. You can switch between modes so in that way it's a non-issue, but it's still shit design.
