Description: With the help of over 18,000
Kickstarter backers, Narrative Designer Chris Avellone and composer Inon
Zur, Owlcat Games is proud to bring you the first isometric computer
RPG set in the beloved Pathfinder tabletop universe. Pathfinder:
Kingmaker puts you in the role of a brave adventurer fighting to survive
in a world beset by magic and evil! Take on the role of a canny fighter
hacking through enemies with an enchanted sword, a powerful sorceress
blessed with magic by the hint of demon blood in her veins, a wise
cleric of gods benevolent or malignant, a witty rogue ready to defuse
even the deadliest of traps, or any of countless other heroes. The only
limit is your imagination!
The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is an evolution of the 3.5 rules set
of the world’s oldest fantasy roleplaying game, designed using the
feedback of tens of thousands of gamers just like you. Whether you’re
new to the Pathfinder® universe or you’re a seasoned veteran,
Pathfinder: Kingmaker® is the CRPG you’ve been waiting for.
Pathfinder has considerable depth, not only in its lore, but also in
its game mechanics and the freedom it offers to develop your own unique
character. You can customize your character with a wide range of classes
and powers including specialized archetypes, powerful arcane and divine
spells, choosing from a multitude of class abilities, skills and feats.
Pathfinder allows players to create heroes (or villains) that fit both
their individual gameplay styles and their personalities.
The Story
To the north lie the Stolen Lands, a region that has been contested
territory for centuries. Hundreds of kingdoms have risen and fallen in
these lands, and now it is time for you to make your mark—by building
your own kingdom! To do so, you’ll need to survive the harsh wilderness
and the threat of rival nations… as well as threats within your own
court.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is based on Paizo’s award-winning Pathfinder
Adventure Path of the same name. You certainly don’t need to be familiar
with the story, but if you are, you will encounter characters you know
and love as well as a host of brand-new events, companions, allies, and
threats that expand and enhance the original Adventure Path. With help
from Paizo and their authors, the story and quests have been expanded by
RPG writer Chris Avellone and the Owlcat team, allowing for even more
adventure in the already rich narrative of the Stolen Lands.
While Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a single-player game, you won’t be
adventuring alone. “Kingmaker” features a diverse cast of companions and
NPCs, including iconic characters from the Pathfinder setting itself.
You’ll need to decide who to trust and who to watch carefully, as each
companion has an agenda, alignment, and goals that may differ from
yours. Your journey will become their journey, and you’ll help shape
their lives both in the moment and well into the future.
Your Kingdom
We chose to adapt the Kingmaker adventure path because it features a
host of open-world mechanics, allowing players to experience the story
at their own pace as they explore the Stolen Lands, which will challenge
you as both an adventurer and a ruler. Most importantly, the game
allows you to claim these lands as your own, letting you carve your own
kingdom from the wilderness. While classic dungeon crawling and
exploration lie at the heart of this adventure, diplomacy, politics, and
kingdom development are also part of the challenge. Choose your allies
well, and keep them close while exploring ancient tombs and ruins — and
while dealing with politics in your own court.
As you’ll discover, building a kingdom goes beyond simply building a
stronghold: Your kingdom is a reflection of your character and your
choices throughout the game. It is a living thing shaped by your
alignment, your allies, and your ability to lead your people. Not only
can your kingdom expand, opening up new territories and allowing you to
build new towns and communities, but your capital city will physically
change based on your decisions, your policies, and even whom you choose
to ally with. As your kingdom grows, a number of factions and
neighboring countries will come to you to seek favor—and to test your
strength.
