I've really enjoyed Neverwinter Nights over the years. (Haven't played NWN2.) So this project intrigues me, given Ossian's NWN roots.
While a Linux client may be too much to hope for, perhaps the game will run in Wine or Proton...
I believe in the comments section of the videos mentioned your character will be fully customizable, but for parties you'll get the chance to meet companions and get them to join youI hope they provide more details on how far character and party customization goes soon. There's an ocean's worth of difference between preset vanilla characters and fully customizable characters spanning both player cores and a few supplements.
Fingers crossed that they have a built-in option for importing mini models.
I see the quote, thanks! "Fully" and "lots" leaves quite a range, so I still hope for specifics. Hopefully you can make your own party and without losing out on a bunch of content.
I watched the video. I'm pretty excited, even if it is very token oriented. I can't wait to play a true to the rules Pathfinder 2E video game!

I thought this game was cancelled, since the Kickstarter page does not open. Not sure why though.
Is it based on Pathfinder Remaster?
By the way, wasn't Aeteperax in The Dragon's Demand a green dragon? It seems that there appears a black dragon in the teaser trailer.
This is based on remaster!
I have not played nor read the original adventure, but if they were a green dragon, that means that now they are a "horned dragon", and they can be pretty much any color now. :3| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm excited, the last two Pathfinder video game have been based on Pathfinder First Edition, I like that we finally get a Video Game base on Remaster Second Edition.

Does it also include mythic rules?

Does it also include mythic rules?
It goes up to level 8. So I'll go out on a limb and say no.
The original PF1 module this game is based on also ended at mid levels (6 or 7 I believe) and had no mythic stuff.
I'm more curious about the inclusion of archetypes, multiclass and otherwise. So far, we no nothing about which archetypes will be included - or if any will be included at all.

Does it also include mythic rules?
I'm a little curious what train of thought led you to even consider if it would...
Well, because this game will be launched after the Second Edition mythic rules are published, and I didn't know the level cap of it would be so low.
On the publisher's website it says up to level 8.
I wouldn't be surprised to see expanded levels being an option for stretch goals.

The number of ancestries is a bit low, but hardly a deal breaker. Really good selection of classes; all the core ones.
"Play as a dwarf, elf, gnome, goblin, halfling, human, or an orc."
"Choose their path as an alchemist, barbarian, bard, champion, cleric, druid, fighter, investigator, monk, oracle, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, swashbuckler, witch, or wizard."

What is it with people assuming that Kickstarter = Scam?

Ah, no Psychic or Kineticist? That's not a dealbreaker, but those two are my favorite class that have been released (otherwise, I'd include the Animist).
And yeah, not a bad pool of ancestries, just limited. You'd think kobold would be an option though.
...Do we know if there will be any Archetype/Versatile Heritage options?

Most likely they have been burned by one or know someone that has. Myself, there was the $1.4M Robotech Kickstarter that failed to produce the products promised before losing the license so that some items could never be made. So I don't think they are assuming it's a scam, but acknowledging that kickstarters can go south with the backers with nothing [or less than expected] to show for their money.

Because it has all the characteristics of a scam. You pay upfront and the promise of delivery is weak. The buyer takes all the risk. If you are with a reputable company - as in this case - then you can feel reasonably OK. But there is still no guarantee of quality. For example Kingmaker has a lot of good material in it which I have gotten value out of, but if what you were after was functional rules for establishing a town you would be disappointed.

Well, there's always stretch goals. Adding an additional class or two seems like a good stretch goal if the kickstarter goes really well.
That being said, it seems unlikely that Dark Archive or Secrets of Magic classes will be included since that would expose the game to the OGL which I assume nobody wants. Not sure where Gunslinger and Inventor land legally once GnG is remastered.
And yeah, not a bad pool of ancestries, just limited. You'd think kobold would be an option though.
They might be avoiding anything that's not entirely humanoid to reduce their work load a bit. Fitting armor pieces and boots onto an ancestry with a tail and talons is probably more work than just resizing it to fit a halfling.
...Do we know if there will be any Archetype/Versatile Heritage options?
No info on that so far. Though given the vast popularity of archetypes in PF2, I would be very surprised if you don't at least the multiclass archetypes for the included Core Classes.

I really hope this gets funded. Ossian made good campaigns for Neverwinter Nights and got shafted by Atari at every turn. It would be nice to see what they can do when they aren't being undermined by a license holder.

I pledged. FIY prices are in Canadian Dollars, so about 75 cents to the dollar for actual cost.
Stretch goals include DLC campaigns, additional ancestries and others.
Early Bird options, so best to grab ASAP.
Also looks like some very good game features, like a few uncommon ancestries, are Kickstarter goals.

By $18 CAD. Now that's coming in close.

I take full credit. I upped my pledge by $31 (CDN) this morning.
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
(But seriously, it's weird to think that if I didn't do that, on a whim, it would've finished just short.)
They've said they will accept late pledges after the campaign and might shuffle around some stretch goals depending on backer Feedback.
So in theory every stretch goal might still be on the table. Be sure to make your voices heard! I assume they'll do polls via their upcoming discord or Kickstarter updates.
I'm really really glad we've got the multiclass archetypes in the bag! During the AMA they've also mentioned that they might add those archetypes to NPCs and enemies. So don't be all surprised when a barbarian chucks a fireball your way!
The extras I took for my digital deluxe edition (two dice sets and the gold coin) count just as much towards hitting the end goal as everyone else. ;) But, seriously, thank you to everyone for hitting that particular mark. Archetypes are great.
