8 months agoI think BG3s success bodes well for Owlcat, since it brings more fans to the niche genre, that just went mainstream.
Also - Owlcat makes fantastic games. Kingmaker and its sequel, wrath of the righteous are some of the best CRPGs ever made. Pathfinder rules are a little crazy, there are redundant classes, but the character building and customization are a blast. In wrath of the righteous, you get a hero class that you can make completely broken, which is just a ton of fun. Especially considering the lower budget, they accomplished a ton and I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into their CRPGs.
Super cool. I love the idea of exploring Indian culture and stories through high fantasy in the west. We get so little exposure besides some Bollywood films.
