- Thank you all for 2000 subs!
Honestly never thought I'd make it to this, so genuinely thank you all!
In regards to the review; sorry for the wait...
This has been a game I really care about and sunk an ungodly amount of hours into making this review of.
Seriously I had about 150 hours in the game when I started this review and 240 by the time I finished. And that 90 extra hours is mostly from gathering extra footage for this.
I don't even want to think about the total time I spent editing...
This was originally meant to come out in June in you can believe it haha.
Anyway, a Review of Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. As a long time pathfinder fan this one was a joy to playthrough and Owlcat Studios really did an amazing job, with this standing head and shoulders over their previous title kingmaker. Which given that, that was their first game and this is only their second, it is nothing less than commendable.
Of course this being an 100 hour CRPG I did not actually finish the review... Sorry. This is part 1, part 2 will be out... When it's done! Hopefully before the end of the year, but I'm not sure given this one took 5 months to make.
Fun fact the total wordcount for the whole review is 21,142, making it longer than a good deal of my friend university dissertations.

Oh and if you include "No quarter for Gnomes" in your comment I'll ❤ it.
See you all in the next one, and thanks for sticking with me! - เกม
youtubers at exactly 2k subs making the most well edited, engaging, entertaining video's on the platform.
I'm still amazed I'm even at 2k
Idk he keeps calling them "mystic paths". TH-cam deduct this man's subscribers
You had me with the Ainz Ooal Gown soundbite at the opening. Overlord for the win! Glad I stuck around for the video itself. Top-tier content.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha, man, glad I was not the only one who made the whole Overlord comparison with all the buffs in the game.
Late game it really does become that,
Certainly can't leave home without Death Ward at least.
This disrepect on my personal Nuclear ICBM Launcher, Lann, won't be tolerated.
I'm sorry, but he had to be sacrificed for someone else's character development.
Finally watched it through, this was gripping to watch you are truly good at storytelling!
Looking forward to part 2!
Good to see that you spare no quarter for gnomes. It is no exagguration or hyperbole to say that evil deeds are endorsed and commited by gnomes.
Cant wait for part 2! How is this not more popular???
Ah, it seems I am little late to the boat on this one, but this is one of my favorite games ever, and I do enjoy how your experiences have differed from mine. There's so much divergence possible even within the same mythic path. Absolutely well edited, the jokes hit, and it's been a lot of fun to watch!
Sad that he missed Daeran, it‘s not obvious that the random NPC begging you to safe a noble will lead to such a charming companion :)
@@mahmud7645 I honestly assumed I'd hate him when I met him, but wow is he pretty much universally accepted as a top 3 companion. The writing is so good.
Can't wait for part 2! This is fantastic
This was a fantastic video, I’ve beaten this game before but hearing and seeing this video was excellent. I look forward to part 2!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Part 2 is in the works.
I've been taking Christmas off, but will be back full swing on production in the new year.
27:49 comedy gold aneurysm. Amazing content man, this is good stuff!
Patiently waiting for Part 2! That was a fantastic narration from your end
Glad you enjoyed it
Part 2 is the next video in line
Welp. Crap. Time to finally do that redeemer playthrough I've been putting off.
Absolutely outstanding content, bud. I usually can't sit through hour long videos but your storytelling of your playthrough was fantastic. I'll be around for that part two, whenever it comes around o7
Glad you liked it,
Hoping for part 2 out before the end of the year, but I make no promises
There'll be a video on a different cruel RPG in-between.
Extremely good review and story overview! This reminds me of the vibes of old TH-cam… small creators making surprisingly great videos 👍
This video is incredibly well done, grat channel! I'm subscribing!
Loved this video, can't wait for part 2. Hope you make more of this kind of stuff.
Glad you liked it!
I'm 70% of the way though the next video,
Then after that it will be working on part 2
I certainly have no plans to stop
What a fun video!
I just started playing Wrath so perfect timing finding this video..
I like your style, definitely worth a subscription.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The game is defiantly worth a playthrough or two
Awesome video second time watching it can't wait for part 2!
Good shit like always. Keep it up!
That was a great review. Currently doing a demon run myself, but looks like Azata is a lot of fun as well. Looking forward to part 2. Also No quarter for Gnomes
This is really good. Subbed
Glad to have you!
I cannot WAIT for part 2
Crazy good vid mate
Thank you mate!
This video was so good!!!
Ah mate, I've played through this a few times and so I know the story quite well, and yet this was still an epic video. Keen for part 2! Also, a Wenduag fan I see. 🙌
It's truly such a shame most will never know how good she actually is
Part 2 will probably be Q1 next year depending on how many setbacks I hit
I'm going to watch this as part of campaign prep. Coincidentally I decided to run a PF2e game 2 weeks ago, and lost currency due to rulebook acquisition (find it easier to run through than Nethys). The poor players are about to witness my first real attempt at GMing, but I am actually taking time to prep well. I am sure that they will not encounter terrible things during their adventures in Andoran :)
Crazy video
The problem with 4th edition wasn't that it was hated. It's what happened with one of the creators.
The truth of what happened with 4th and its creators is a tragedy.
Which lead to it being an unfished mess.
And people not liking it.
But it wasn't really in scope for the video
It's fun to go back to pathfinder after playing this and ralize that the events are canonical and the worldwound is closed. And, more specially, a particular evil demon lord has turned into a nascent neutral force in the abyss.
It is very nice to be able to see the greater consequences of your actions in the wold.
And er... Ember's too.
20:49 It's very much simplified, from glancing at my friend playing it it just seemed like an experience of "Who has a bigger army", Heroes is a lot different in that aspect because it focues heavily on minimising losses to not get fucked late game. To make that possible every Pole is force taught the importance of movement ranges, half damage ranges for archers and how to effectively kill the archers as fast as possible. Once that is done, you will be beaten up disciplinarily by the larger Pole for picking necropolis when it was explicitly mentioned that it is banned because it's busted.
I figured the real Heroes games had a lot more depth, as the implementation here is very basic,
Speaking of Necropolis I do want to do a Lich run at some point...
8:30 As for Camellia, she actually has decent summons in Chapter 2 and 3.
She's arguably the best tank in the game.
The secret ending actually isnt too hard to get, and adds a lot to the main story imo. MUCH MUCH better then kingmakers lol.
Great video, gratz on 2k! Also glad you enjoyed my favorite game in years...... I think?
True, but getting the ending where all companions ascend and ever harder, where Areelu gets to ascend too is basically impossible without knowing exactly what you‘re doing. I managed to understand that I have to shoot the Demon Lords with the right weapon, that‘s about it.
It can be a bit confusing.. you have to pass certain dialogue and perception checks as well as meet certain timelines and milestones to achieve the true secret ending which is to have every one and Areelu Vorlesh ascend to god hood.
@@mahmud7645I got it my first play through without looking anything up. Had myself, Areelu, and my party ascended to gods. Angel path.
I acknowledge this is unlikely for most however, and resulted from my autistic exploration of absolutely everything (and some lucky choices, particularly the first one in the prologue that doesn’t seem important at the time!)
"escaping the foes grasp presumably by talking it to death" .. nice review
excellent video, although i am not sure how a Wenduag romance and Azata path work out... looking forward to part 2!
I choose Wenduag because she praise my murder hobo ways and can trow that damn axes!
Where's that part two? Fantastic work on this video!
Still in progress,
Script and audio is done,
But wrangling the engine to do what I want in order to get the right shots takes an age.
This year for sure, beyond that I can't promise a timeframe
You got some parts wrong. Not taking Wenduag or not doing the demon decision doesn't lock you out of any mythic paths. Even if you make no decisions for the demon mythic path you can still choose it at the end of Act2.
All the other mythic paths are unlocked based on decisions you make in the game not based on choices in the prologue in fact choices in the prologue don't matter at all besides between Lann and Wenduag until you wake up in Defenders hearth.
Dayum
this was a really great video and I'm excited to watch part 2 and it's nice seeing someone playing a mythical path and character different from mine💜💜
Thank you!
Now I've got a bit of free time again I'd like to go through a different Mystic Path,
Most likely Lich
Bro I got stuck on this game and all the times I come back, I cannot come back to the Head quarter since I have hordes of demons attacking me on the way. What should I do
I will say that Core Difficulty is probably the best difficulty to reward balance, assuming you already know what you're doing.
Absolutely, gives you the real table top experience.
But for new players I think the adjust of "normal" is a good change to help introduce people into the pathfinder system.
Holy shit
You guys pick Wenduag because you thought you can fix her, I pick Wenduag because while I can fix her, whatever is wrong with her is honestly wayyy hotter.
Oh my, did you do Swarm that Walks as the mythic path for your first run?! I don't think I could make my first one that evil lol
I didn't
My first was Azata, but I did enough to get it as an option so I could play around with it to get a better idea of the game
I still need to finish a Lich play-through once I have spare time
Sub'd at the 5 min mark cause I respect good math.
So the devs recently came out and admitted that they took out core gameplay elements like spells, feats, etc so that they could sell them later with DLC.
Could be a big story.
Bubble buff lite mod is your friend my fellow crusaders.
yep can't play without it , since the buff is very important for this game
great vid. also glad to find someone who is willing to wade thru the shovelware on steam and tell me what's good.
06-2024. I also finish the game as a azata in about 150 h. I also enconter the bug for the esc key not fonctionning. otherwise, the game is free of bug.
I haven't played the two Pathfinder computer games yet, but I have them in my GOG list, waiting for winter.
Can anyone tell me the purpose (if any) of romantic RP with the NPCs? In Skyrim they make 100 gold a day & hand you sandwiches. In Fallout 4 you can use the constructed nookie on synth Curie to grant yourself a temporary XP bonus.
Is there anything similar which would make playing along with the grappling matches appealing to people who aren't 14?
Yes they can do, Some change the outcomes of events and other can give buffs.
Wenduag for instance grants the Mongrel's Blessing:
Immunity to death effects, poison, and electricity. Whenever you land a hit in melee, the enemy must pass a Fortitude saving throw or suffer one permanent negative level
I don't recall them doing anything in the first game however
@@devalk_ Thanks, and that sounds particularly wicked. The more I look into these games, the more I wonder what has kept me from playing them other than brand loyalty to D&D.
Huh, so that was the Angel path. I was too busy selecting all the dialogue options that ended in extreme bursts of neurodivergent rage. Demon path was not... the most nuanced. Edit: liked, subbed, went down the trap rabbithole and have found new urges I never knew from your channel. Help.
Welcome,
There's no going back now...
I have 2.3k hrs and I'm scared to go back to it or I will lose my career.
Horse best companion confirmed.
Truly,
It wont be brought up until the second video, but they can get deflect arrows,
Which works while you're mounted on them
Somehow...
That was a very generous characterization of Wenduag, a hybrid who is more accurately described as a spider-bitch than a spider-cat. Still very nice story so far. Look forward to seeing how it ends.
Look... I can fix her
@@devalk_nah, she can make me worse!
@@devalk_ Looking at Camillia, you gonna need a whole lot of fixing.
Awww you didnt meet my beloved Daeran, great video nontheless
Unfortunately yes I did,
I've come to love him since
Regill is the best companion ever
My god man, came across this review whilst hyping myself for my 2nd go through on WotR and WOW.........mate, why they hell haven't you got more subs?? If I could sub 5 times I would (I got 3 dummie accounts, I'll gift ya them however) - Sir Devalk, we salute you! 10/10 , would sub again.
Thank you,
I'm glad you enjoyed it, part 2 will be coming... at some point.
Made on Cyrpus. Yeaaaaaah, about that.
Hello, don't mind me, I'm simply boosting the visibility of your video :)
Sad you apparently missed the option to romance Nyrissa in Kingmaker, 10/10 would simp for Dryad trying to destroy me again.
Also good to see you back, as someone who enjoys these games I completely understand why they dragged you off the map for a while, well that and the continuously exceptional editing.
Check who's hiding at the bottom right of the screen at 20:00 ;)
Glad you liked the editing,
I learnt quite a few new tricks during the making of this one and I'm quite proud of it overall
@@devalk_ I'm Blind! She's down there vibing, sure she might be responsible for the house in time but she also ends Leslie. After managing to accidentally stumble my way into her ending my first playthrough (still don't know how) I am of the firm belief that she is the best romance option in Kingmaker. Made me sad that Areelu wasn't an option in WoTR, then again she is kinda [SPOILERS] so I can understand why the devs didn't include her. I am interested in seeing what they do with the Warhammer 40k game they are making though.
heh, it's amazing what you can sneak past people if their focus is drawn to a different area,
Yeah I'd agree she's the best romance of Kingmaker, even if she's not up against very strong competition,
Also has the same voice actor as Wenduag
There is a hidden romance option for Nocticular I believe, romancing Areelu might count as incest, given she's basically you mum after what she did with your soul
Not only having an all female main party but not even recruiting ONE male character. Respect
Where part 2?
In production,
Eta some time Q1 2024
Good video, however pathfinder isn't D&D 3.5, that already exists. Pathfinder 1st ed is more like D&D 3.75
Did you miss Woljif and Finean?
On my blind playthrough,
Yes. Completely.
@devalk_ Well sure, I was just surprised. I didn't consider how you get those characters easy to miss. Especially if you were thorough enough to find Ember. So, I was just considering whether their exclusion was intentional or if they'd been missed.
Thats Quite some Effort for just a "Review" more of a Narrative Retelling
(Quite a Shame that you missed Derran)
Thank you!
It was somewhat inspired by thedriftersbroadcast's Phoenix Point narrative playthrough
When I finally get time to do another playthrough I'd like to romance Derran
Ernest gygax????? GARY!!!
Yeah Gary is actually his Middle name
His first name is Ernest
Why did you kill her? I was hungry!
holy shit how is this so fucking funny XDDDDDD
okay regarding might & magic they absolutely butchered everything (hi polish)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Eastern Europe does seems to be one of my larger demographics, I should actually play M&M at some point...
a roll player plays battletech. i feel called out xD xD
Hey it was more of a self callout,
Glory to Jade Falcon
Please play fear and hunger
Apollo may have just blessed you with the gift of prophesy there
U alive bruv?
Yes, now I must go hibernate for the winter.
Felt called out about the telifing shirt thing I have def would say I had gotten better nah more cringe
Beautifull video, but i cannot forgive you to let Lann die like a dog while promising wenduagh redemption. I just.. think its unfair.
It is absolutely unfair.
To give a glimpse behind the curtain;
I started off aiming for an evil leaning playthrough,
But I ended up going down the Azata route and then getting invested in Ember
To the point where Ember basically ended up redeeming me
By that point Lann was already dead though, and Wenduag's redemption that takes place during her romance route fits well into the theme I'm going for.
tl;dr Lann was a necessary sacrifice for everyone else's character development.
nah, thats a dislike for disliking the best girl.She's helpfull is she not?
Camellia simps get out my comments REEE!
In 2 minutes there was an Overlord and a Lisa joke, I just can't not subscribe even though I have to still finish the video I guess
great attention grabber that opening.
You’re helpful are you not ?
The Aeon mystic path goes hard
I loved the game,wanted to replay it but I cant.Idk,in open world rpgs such like fallout games I can go my way and explore places I havent been for the second playtrough pretty fast but in pathfinder the content is mostly the same so I cant just replay it right away.Pillars of eternity 2 is better in this term but I wish wotr was like this too.
It's also why Pillars 2 is a shitty cRPG, because open-world kills the narrative. Thank god Owlcat understands that, I'm so tired of every developer trying to cram the "open-world" aspect into every game just to appease the masses who don't understand game design.
Fun Review. However you spoil WAY too much with no warning or skip timestamp
MYTHIC
IT'S SPELLED MYTHIC
It's spelt mythic in the scrip too
