Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pathfinder is a series of isometric Role-Playing Games developed by Owlcat Games (a company based in the Russian Federation and founded & led by veterans of Nival Interactive, specifically the ones responsible for Heroes of Might & Magic V, the early Allods games, Allods Online, and Silent Storm, among others).The games are modeled quite heavily on the tabletop experience and in the style of classics such as Baldur's Gate, with combat using both Real-Time with Pause and Turn-Based Combat.Kingmaker focuses on being a local lord, and thus the game places emphasis on realm-building, with player decisions affecting several aspects of the gameplay. The game focuses on the player building their own realm in the wilderness, then expanding upon like the corresponding module, and was released on September 25th, 2018. Five DLC packs (three paid, two free) were released for the game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The first DLC, Varnhold's Lot was released February 28, 2019, in which the Player Character is Maegar Varn's general and has to deal with the various problems the new barony is facing. The story runs parallel to and can be imported into the main campaign.The second DLC, The Wildcards was released on December 14, 2018. This DLC added a new Player companion, a Kineticist Tiefling with a secret. It also Added Kineticists, and Tieflings to the character creation options.The Third DLC, Beneath The Stolen Lands was released on June 6, 2019. It added a new mode, an endless dungeon which was integrated into both the main campaign, and as its own separate mode.The two Free DLC packs, Bloody Mess and Arcane Unleashed added excess gore, and a variety of spells respectively. Arcane unleased also added a fan-favorite Pet, Tiger, a cat once belonging to a member of the Pathfinder Community who died shortly before the release of the game. As a measure of thanks for the assistance this community member gave the Owlcat team and other members of the community, Owlcat decided to immortalize Tiger as part of this DLC.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })A sequel, Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous, was announced in December 2019, based on the Adventure Path of the same name. A Kickstarter campaign for the game launched in February 2020, and concluded on March 11th of that year, having raised $2.05 million US dollars (more than double what the Kingmaker KS did). As per the source AP, Wrath of the Righteous puts the player in control of the commander of the Fifth Crusade on a quest to permanently seal the Worldwound, a gigantic abyssal portal demons have used to invade Golarion for decades.The games are based on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's Adventure Paths "Kingmaker" and "Wrath of the Righteous". | |

Evil vs. Evil: Taken Up to Eleven with the Swarm-That-Walks. As the Ultimate Evil Path, your battle of Deskari is no longer about the lesser evil, because there is none. To a lesser Degree, the lich and Demon paths offer soem of the same flavor, and of course you can still be any alignment on the grid. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling: The eastern bank of the Sellen river might give you random encounters against high-end monsters like Athachs and Bloody Bone Beasts. Not only they're worth a good chunk of experience but they might even have some magic items on them (like +4 Belts of Strength) you're not supposed to have access to until you actually have to cross the river. | |

Defeat Means Friendship: A number of bosses can be befriended (provided you have the correct alignment), but the one that portrays this trope most solidly is Armag, the barbarian warlord, who will declare you blood-siblings if you spare him. | |

Lawful Stupid | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_1e12b5b7 | comment |
Lawful Stupid: The game's portrayal of the invoked Lawful Good alignment has a few issues at times. In particular, the Nazrielle-Sartayne sidequest regards arresting Sartayne for sabotaging Nazrielle's magical weapons to ruin her reputation, in order to get revenge on her for ruining his father's as a Lawful Evil action for some reason, even though a lot of innocent people were endangered by this. You'll also find yourself commonly taking Neutral Good or Chaotic Good actions for lack of a Lawful Good counterpart. | |

Tartuccio gives you a Pitaxian signet ring at the beginning of the prologue, then at the end of the prologue tries to use your possession of it to frame you as a Pitaxian spy and the cause of the massacre. If you bring that ring to the Rushlight Tournament you'll get a special dialogue option at the conclusion that bypasses several Diplomacy checks and lets you embarrass Irovetti in front of the whole tournament by revealing him as the one responsible. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The original Adventure Path was somewhat notorious for only being accessible to good characters, and for having a fairly linear storyline. The Computer Game adds support for evil characters, and a branching story path based on the Mythic Path you choose to follow. | |

Split Personality: Farnirras the Pensive. Contrary to the usual iterations of this trope, Farnirras is a despicable man and wannabe (and eventually de facto) lich who conducted inhuman experiments until one of his victims cursed him with the threat of "his worst enemy", triggering a good split personality who sabotaged his experiments and eventually made a suicide gambit to trap him(self) in a prison only the most talented adventurer and monster slayer could enter.

The Münchausen: Blakemoor the Wizard. He has a large array of impossible tales, but there are hints that he's not making any of them up. His First World tale is fantastical but not out of character for the Lantern King, and if Amiri is in the party she'll actually verify part of his tale about the North. You'll also get attacked by his Arch-Enemy Siroket if you help him, lending credence to his most recent tale. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_40680cf6 | comment |
Stupidity Is the Only Option: In Vordakai's Tomb, even warned as you are by the tooltips and possible in-game knowledge (such as speaking to Kaessi about it), it is impossible to make your companions keep their mouths shut and avoid spawning more Soul Eaters during the halfway point. The smartest option is for the Player Character to pick the characters best suited for dueling a Soul Eater whenever prompted by Horagnamon (Jaethal in particular is completely immune to ability drain because she's undead). It is also impossible to avoid giving Horagnamon the player character's name thanks to one of The Nameless Sisters. Of course, you can avoid telling the sisters anything by just entering the tomb based off of information found in Vordakai's journal, but there's no tooltip telling you how, and while the books indicate that you need to use the spell Darkness, that spell was never implemented. The real spell you need to use is Bane. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The organic nature of the ending means you may get some sections of this depending on how you resolved certain quests or events, for instance: Convincing Jubilost to accept the gift of immortality from Shyka the Many will make him so enamored with the First World that he starts neglecting and eventually abandons all of his business in the Material Plane, until he leaves for an expedition he never returns from. | |

Unwinnable by Mistake: Some end-game Kingdom events have a difficulty check of 40 - if you don't have an advisor that can handle it, it's effectively a Non Standard Game Over. The designers did implement a workaround by having the Kingdom be "invincible", but it's still frustrating. | |

Non-Lethal K.O.: Characters reduced to 0 hit points fall unconscious. They die when their hitpoints equal their Constitution score as a negative number, though on 'Normal' difficulty and below they will instead suffer a 'mortal wound' the first time and have to be killed again before they're down for good. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: The game's treatment of its kobolds, mites, trolls, goblins, and even human barbarians can be seen as a deconstruction, depending on your choices and the Player Character's Character Alignment. invoked They are all capable and guilty of 'evil' acts, that evil may seem intrinsic to their culture, but the way they live and act is significantly influenced by the fact that they're treated as disposable monsters and mooks rather than thinking, feeling beings. The kingdom of Trobold, despite its early stumbles, can grow into a peaceful ally — but it requires the Baron/ess to possess a Chaotic alignment, to be willing to challenge convention and take what the game acknowledges is a fairly serious risk. It can pay off in the ending, where Hargulka's trolls and/or Tartuk's kobolds can become peaceful allies who actually rush to your aid in the final chapter. The kobolds and mites of the Old Sycamore and the goblin tribes of the eastern Dunsward can also become allies, or at least cordial neighbours, through picking the right options (requiring a Neutral alignment for the former and doing Nok-Nok's quest for the latter). This allows the player to build lairs for goblins, kobolds and possibly trolls in the capital, making groups of them a common sight when you walk its streets. Chief Sootscale and Queen B'daah will also rally to your side in the final chapter alongside their tribes. | |

Suspicious Video-Game Generosity | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_5561eef8 | comment |
Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: The game stops just short of forcing Jubilost into the party (bottlenecking at the river crossing where he can be found and having Linzi gush over his work as an author). He's an alchemist, and comes equipped with a daily supply of acid bombs at the very beginning of a chapter where almost every encounter is rife with trolls who can only be killed by fire or acid. On a lesser note, you'll likely recruit Ekundayo before reaching Trobold, a character who is heavily invested in taking revenge on the trolls, which is very helpful if your party didn't already have an archer to make use of the oversized, acid-tipped magical longbow Devourer of Metal hidden in the trolls' fortress. Lostlarn Keep from the Varnhold's Lot DLC thrusts vast quantities of scrolls and permanent stat boost items on the party shortly before removing Cephal from the group and killing off the rest of your companions other than the General. Justified as the entire dungeon is one big centuries-long prank on the part of the fey. | |

There's an entire subplot in the "Season of Bloom" chapter involving the local goblin tribes. They think the plague of magical parasites turning humanoids into monsters is a sign from Lamashtu and keep trying to domesticate the monsters—usually getting eaten for their troubles. One of them, Nok-Nok, can actually join your party and be a pretty effective Rogue, and you can get an achievement for partying with a tribe in a storybook event. At the same time, they are kidnapping villagers and trying to force-feed the monster seeds to them, and unlike with the kobolds they got the idea in their heads all on their own. | |

Save Scumming: Highly encouraged by the community to the point it warrants a mention here. While a human Dungeon Master can choose to be merciful in the interests of keeping the game going and making sure the players have fun, the game cannot do this and thus relies entirely on the fickleness of the Random Number God. Most infamously, getting the secret ending requires passing a Knowledge Arcana skill check in a conversation you can only have once - If you fail to get this prompt you're locked out of that ending unless you do this, or the next level of editing the save file manually. | |

There's a war between tribes of kobolds and mites in the first chapter in which you can intervene.

Nintendo Hard: Most of the negative reviews that aren't about bugs cite a mix of this and Early Game Hell as the game's biggest problem. It has little concept of fairness and pulls absolutely no punches. Even though Normal difficulty tilts things in the players' favor, the average Pathfinder veteran (to say nothing of people unfamiliar with the system) is going to die a lot and many people think this is what the original Kingmaker Adventure Path would look like if run by a Killer Game Master. Perhaps in anticipation of this, the game includes an extensively customizable level of difficulty to let people tone it down to something more reasonable. | |

Replay Value: Aside from the multitude of possible class options and other choices that can be made with varying alignments, a lot of the plot elements uncovered later in the game are nicely foreshadowed early on. Finally, since each Mythic path substantially changes the game and they're all mutually exclusive, a lot of replayability has been added. | |

Fantasy Gun Control: The game does not include firearms or firearm rules despite the Pathfinder RPG system including a Gunslinger class.

(Similarly, none of the rules for refurbishing hi-tech weapons are in the game, and you cannot play as a Technomancer.) | |

Marathon Level: Vordakai's Tomb features two entire floors with death traps, encounters with groups of undead cyclops, undead that can damage or permanently drain your ability scores and levels, hordes of ''dozens'' of zombies at a time, a fight with Soul Eaters that you and up to two party members will have to fight one-on-one, and tops it off with a boss that, at the very least, is mercifully straightforward. Oh, and the exit seals itself after the first encounter, so you have to complete it all in one go. It also got infamous as That One Level, so much that a patch added a few camping supplies just outside the boss room so the players wouldn't be forced to fight him completely drained of all their resources. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Some aspects of kingdom building in Kingmaker aren't very well-explained, such as establishing your first settlement - once you've claimed a new region, you have to build one by selecting a marker in the region on the map screen. The "Lost Child" quest in Kingmaker has a few possible outcomes, but to get the "best" one you have to know exactly what you're dealing with, and have exactly the right spell prepared, and pass a DC 20 Knowledge (Arcana) check to get the dialogue option to use the spell to appear. A more obvious option that sounds like it will lead to the best ending only will if you've talked to the named lizards in the village and picked all the good dialogue options; otherwise going through with it actually results in the child dying. The reason is that the NPC you ask for help dispels the invisibility on a Will-o'-the-Wisp, which immediately attacks with lightning; the previously-mentioned "exact spell" is Glitterdust which will both reveal and stun the wisp, preventing it from doing that, and talking to the villagers calms their fears, which are what give the creature strength. The final romance option available in Kingmaker is Nyrissa after she herself, but accessing it is so convoluted that entire guides have been written to help. Particularly frustrating is that getting the secret ending on this path requires dialogue options with bosses - Tartuk, Vordakai, and Armag. Tartuk and Armag (whose dialogues are interchangeable) can die without you being able to talk to them, and the check for Vordakai? It requires an Arcane Knowledge check of 21 or higher to even access it, is absolutely required, and it's completely hidden! Compounding this Vordakai likes to use death spells on your weaker party members, like the ones most likely to have that skill, and if they're not alive at the end of the fight (you don't get time to heal them before the conversation comes up) you can't use their bonuses. In Jaethal's final quest, you can convince her to spare her daughter, but it requires making several choices before. In her first quest, tell Jaethal to kill the girl she has turned undead. In the next quest, learn Tanaka's secret and protect Jaethal. Finally, when you face Jaethal's daughter, protect Jaethal and then, in the aftermath, remind Jaethal about her pride in her daughter. After making two choices, Jaethal will tell Urgathoa she must disappoint her - which leads to Urgathoa killing her. This, however, allows you to later meet Jaethal in the House at the End of Time as a friendly NPC. A handful of sidequests give directions which boil down to little more than "meet some guy in the woods". Sometimes the player is meant to revisit a zone, sometimes the quest will advance as a "random" encounter while traveling, and occasionally a hidden node will spawn when the party walks past on the world map. Good luck figuring out which is the correct option without a guide. It is possible to end up without a Councilor for Kingdom Management, which often spells inevitable doom due to the position being needed to resolve numerous events. Specifically, of the three potential candidates, Shandra must be selected at the very start of the game, without any indication what function she could actually serve (and the player's Swordlord benefactor advising them to avoid her), Tsanna is a Chaotic Evil priestess who is likely to die at the player's hands long before there's any indication she's recruit-able, and Tristan betrays the party and may be fought and killed as a result. Saving Nilak during "The Twice-Born Warlord". When "Hour of Rage" becomes available, you must go there before doing "The Betrayer's Flight". Then, when the time comes for Amiri to infiltrate the camp, she must use an alternate path to reach the center of the camp so she doesn't engage in combat with anyone except Armag himself. A Chaotic player can instead make the Tiger Lords throw a riot, bypassing the stealth mission aspect. Oh, and to top it off, doing this permanently ends Tristian's Romance Sidequest: you have to do "Betrayer's Flight" first to continue it. This was so hated that Owlcat eventually removed the requirement to do "Hour of Rage" first. | |

| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: Striving to always make the Good, or at least least-Evil, decisions will result in you missing out on three extremely powerful artisan masterpieces while gaining you nothing. Additionally, while both Good and Evil barons get buildings that help them resolve problems, the Evil one is both much better and much cheaper. Good guys can be a Paladin, but the mandatory Lawful Good alignment is notoriously slippery to hold onto as the game goes on. | |

Character Shilling: Subtly done, but when the Defaced Sister in the Kellid camp explains what she is, Tristian (if he's there) chimes in to say how honorable their sacrifice makes them in an admiring tone, even though everyone else in the camp hates her. They've both been coerced to work for Nyrissa. Alternatively, he was probably being sarcastic. This is evidenced by the Sister reacting in a rather angry tone when he says his line and the fact that he knows very well what "higher power" she is working for and that it's far from benevolent. | |

Laughably Evil: Per the setting, the smaller Evil monsters, mainly mites, kobolds, and goblins, are generally Played for Laughs: tribes of small, idiosyncratic critters that talk in You No Take Candle and think they're a lot tougher than they actually are. There's a war between tribes of kobolds and mites in the first chapter in which you can intervene. The kobolds in particular are dupes of the Starter Villain Tartuccio, and if you treat them with mercy you gain the ability to construct a special "Kobold Quarter" building in any Town or City you own, which offers some nice boosts to your barony's Espionage stat. There's an entire subplot in the "Season of Bloom" chapter involving the local goblin tribes. They think the plague of magical parasites turning humanoids into monsters is a sign from Lamashtu and keep trying to domesticate the monsters—usually getting eaten for their troubles. One of them, Nok-Nok, can actually join your party and be a pretty effective Rogue, and you can get an achievement for partying with a tribe in a storybook event. At the same time, they are kidnapping villagers and trying to force-feed the monster seeds to them, and unlike with the kobolds they got the idea in their heads all on their own. | |

You can "solve" pretty much any problem in your kingdom by executing people for even minor offenses. In some cases you can even arrest or execute the one who accused the culprit for wasting your time. | |

Improbable Power Discrepancy | |

Improbable Power Discrepancy: A lot of the enemies you encounter, especially later in the game, have been drastically increased in power from their tabletop equivalents in order to provide a better challenge. An example of this is the 'Mature Leopard' you encounter in a random encounter in the early game, which is a 10 HD animal as opposed to the 3 HD leopards have in the tabletop. | |

Happens in the third part, where you have to choose to either assist Kesten in storming the Womb of Lamashtu and abandon the capital to be sieged by the monsters, or save the Capital but leave Kesten to die. Being Lawful allows you to Take a Third Option, ordering Kesten to protect the capital while you storm the Womb alone. A possible bit of Loophole Abuse involves saving one or the other but not talking to them prior to saving the other as well. Doing so will also spare both men. | |

Heel Realization | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: In the first chapter the main character can hand a few of these out to some of the named bandits working for the Stag Lord. Kressle can have one if the player is Good-aligned and talks her down and Akiros can have one as well if the player sneaks up on him with a Mobility check then passes a Knowledge check to guilt-trip him by pointing out which faith he used to follow. A Good-aligned character can invoke one during the third chapter, when confronting one of the Defaced Sisters, pointing out just how many had died while she remains cryptic. She's more forthcoming with information after that, and abandons her sisters rather than head back to the barbarian camp to rejoin them, dropping a hint or two about their true intentions in the process. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading: When you run the game on early chapters things goes smoothly. However, as you progress further and further, loading between areas will slow down to a crawl.

Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: gameplay difficulty can be selected from a few options. Lower difficulties not only skew the rolls slightly in your favour but also replace death with Death's Door, a status that will kill you if you dip too far into negative HP again but can be removed by resting or certain healing spells. Story mode. Easy mode. Normal mode. Challenging mode. Hard mode. Unfair mode. The Management System in both games has its own desperate difficulty slider. You can also set it to Auto, but you wont be able to disable it once the game starts and you'll be at the mercy of the RNG. Effortless Easy Normal Hard | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Happens a lot, sometimes in obvious ways, other times in subtle ones. The Stag Lord unknowingly but clearly outlines Nyrissa's entire modus operandi when he dies, making it obvious she's doing the same thing to you. And Irovetti. On a second playthrough, notice how many times Tristian is said to look down while talking to you. It’s The Tell that he’s lying. Jubilost takes a lot of verbal pot-shots at Willas Gunderson when he shows up, mostly in regards to his overestimating himself, and the quest he gives show he's far too quick to jump to conclusions and doesn't put a lot of thought into things. Both foreshadow his role in the destruction of Varnhold. Camp dialogue may have Tristian note that Linzi is so focused on her book it feels like she's trying to put a piece of herself into it. Linzi winds up having a lot more than piece of herself in that book after the House at the End of Time. The Defaced Sister you meet in the Kellid camp during Chapter 4 has a unique positive interaction with Tristian since they both have the same mission. And then there's the curses. Even as early as Chapter 2, potentially, it's clear something is going on in the Stolen Lands, even beyond what your companions and court initially discuss: When you meet Ivar, you can hear his entire story. Riven with guilt over "killing" his family with a well-intentioned story that led to tragedy, he "cursed" himself at their graves, screaming he was a monster... and this turned him into a werewolf. Anyone familiar with Pathfinder will immediately sit up, because this is not how lycanthropy works in-setting at all. No matter how great your guilt, you can't just get really sad and angry and turn into a werebeast; it takes a very powerful curse spell, almost on par with a Wish or Miracle, to forcibly lycanthropize someone outside of them having the curse spread to them via bites or whatnot. This is an immediate red flag that something powerful is at work in the Stolen Lands. On a similar tack, the whole story of the Scythe Tree deep in the Narlmarches. It used to be a dryad queen, who was transformed into a Scythe Tree via what appears to be a local curse superstition wherein you place a curse on someone by throwing a coin in a well. This same curse has forced multiple individuals into undeath, as well. Even another local NPC in-universe will point out that, by most magicians' experiences, this is total nonsense; that's not even how proper curses work in-universe, the creation of undead of that power isn't even usually the domain of curses regardless, and in particular permanently turning a dryad queen into a damned scythe tree, against her will, is pretty much the exclusive domain of the most powerful 9th-level or Mythic magic. Although she doesn't speculate further, the NPC herself points out that something a hell of a lot more powerful than some wisps in a well have to be at work to make something like that happen the way it did. | |

Land of Faerie | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_9ee0d3eb | comment |
Land of Faerie: The First World, as in the tabletop game, is full of The Fair Folk, who have Blue-and-Orange Morality due to their immortality. If the player rescues Evindra when dealing with Pitax, they can learn that the veil between the First World and the Stolen Lands is surprisingly thin, to the point that any Fair Folk that die there will simply go back to the First World instead of dying for real. Thus, many mythical creatures are drawn there out of curiosity, explaining a lot about why so many are present in the King/Queendom. | |

In the game he plays neither of these roles, with new characters Tartuccio taking the role of the catspaw baron-wannabe and Tristian taking the role of the traitorous secondary antagonist of Chapter 4. As for Drelev, it's possible to go through the entire game without knowing who he is. | |

Sadistic Choice: Leveling up your barony's stats requires solving such issues, most often with each of them having its own downside. You can let your advisor decide by themselves. Happens in the third part, where you have to choose to either assist Kesten in storming the Womb of Lamashtu and abandon the capital to be sieged by the monsters, or save the Capital but leave Kesten to die. Being Lawful allows you to Take a Third Option, ordering Kesten to protect the capital while you storm the Womb alone. A possible bit of Loophole Abuse involves saving one or the other but not talking to them prior to saving the other as well. Doing so will also spare both men. Prior to this, dealing with the cult behind it has [[spoiler: you decide whether or not Olika, the widow of a merchant whose body you'd found during Troll Trouble, should be allowed to receive Lamashtu's "blessing" to save the life of her unborn child, knowing full well what a blessing from the Mother of Monsters could entail. The end of Jaethal's companion quest line, especially for non-Evil players - either pull a Grand Theft Me on her daughter, or kill her and raise her up as an Undead. While she can Take a Third Option depending on prior choices, this option kills Jaethal, as she effectively tells Urgathoa to go pound salt - and Urgathoa responds with a Bolt of Divine Retribution that makes Jaethal Killed Off for Real. | |

Romance Sidequest | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_bd288171 | comment |
Romance Sidequest: Multiple options for people of Straight, Gay, and Bi persuasion. While only three have been officially confirmed so far, more are to come. Camellia, a half-elf raised in a wealthy but strict household. She has the manners of a lady, the powers of a shaman, and enjoys her newly obtained freedom in the Commander’s company. Of course, she's also a Spirit hunter Shaman of ambiguous moral character. Daeran, a young Mendevian noble and an aasimar. Extremely handsome and filthy rich, he loves to scandalize noble society with extravagant parties and wanton behaviour. Of course, he's also a hedonist cursed with magical powers. Queen Galfrey, the semi-immortal queen of Mendev, kept alive by the church of Iomedae's desperation to hold the line against the Demons of the worldwound. You can secretly encourage her to join your crusade. | |

Broken Bridge | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_c5f23623 | comment |
Broken Bridge: Each chapter has a border you can't cross until you solve its issue: In Chapter 1, the fog covering the Stolen Lands prevents you from leaving the Outskirts and South Narlmarshes until you kill the Stag Lord In Chapter 2 and 3 you can't cross the Sellen River due to pirate attacks (even if you're toting an army and a party that could mop the floor with any pirate) and can't freely explore Dunsward since it's under the rule of your Friendly Rival Maegar Varn. In Chapters 4 and 5 patrols threaten you out of crossing the border with Pitax. | |

Grand Theft Me | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_c6102eb0 | comment |
The end of Jaethal's companion quest line, especially for non-Evil players - either pull a Grand Theft Me on her daughter, or kill her and raise her up as an Undead. While she can Take a Third Option depending on prior choices, this option kills Jaethal, as she effectively tells Urgathoa to go pound salt - and Urgathoa responds with a Bolt of Divine Retribution that makes Jaethal Killed Off for Real. | |

Video Game Caring Potential: invoked Most Neutral Good options veer on this theme, but resolving your companion's personal quests and bringing them closure on their problems is completely possible, as well as attempting to generally be a do-gooder with your subjects and allies. Sometimes it even affects their alignment: Regongar can shift from Chaotic Evil to Chaotic Neutral if you play your cards right in his companion questline. | |

Antagonist Title | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_cde51255 | comment |
Antagonist Title: Possibly, depending on who the title refers to. A "kingmaker" is someone who makes others into kings or, less literally, into authority figures in general often with the implication that the kingmaker is the one wielding the real power. As such the PC, who takes open power themselves, doesn't qualify. Nyrissa on the other hand... | |

Alchemy Is Magic | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_d251db87 | comment |
Alchemy Is Magic: The alchemist is one of several classes you can choose from when starting the game or when leveling up your character. It focuses on infusing chemical reagents with magical energy, creating potions, poisons, mutagens, and incendiaries. Its ultimate (20th-level) ability is the "grand discovery", which can take numerous forms, including immortality or the creation of a philosopher's stone. Alchemists also take on a Jekyll & Hyde vibe by using transformative mutagens to power up. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Early on, you can stumble across a camp at the Old Sycamore that is strewn with corpses, and checking it lets you see there are enough supplies to sleep there for one night. Doing so brings out Viscount Smoulderburn, a CR 14 enemy who liberally applies fear effects. During Valerie's Romance Sidequest, she fills the Baron in about the only other man she'd felt comfortable around, and how that led to a physical relationship. The possible replies are a Declaration of Protection, a Love Confession, or a crude joke. Guess which option prematurely ends the romance? You get an oddly large number of chances to introduce yourself by name in Act 3. There's a loading screen tip which you've surely seen a dozen times by now that warns you this might be a bad idea but most people will do it anyway in order to be polite or intimidating. Subverted; it doesn't actually help. If you don't say it someone else will. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: While the premise of the Tabletop game is such that you are a shining pinnacle of honor and good, in the CRPG, the addition of support for Evil playthroughs means a lot of this can come through. For instance, you can decide to let the people attacking Ember when you meet her continue attacking her without interfering. While this does not lead to her death, you can also join in on the attack, which does. | |

Unfortunately, your companions grab the Idiot Ball Horagnamon tosses them and reveal their own names if you don't. | |

We Cannot Go On Without You: Since the PC is the source of mythic power for the party, if the main character dies, the game ends. It's not yet clear why the main character cannot be revived, but it likely has to do with being the source of Mythic power. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: An unlimited (in size) shared party stash only capped by the amount of total weight that the party can carry. A lot of skills have been consolidated or removed to ensure that new players won't wind up taking skills that have no purpose in gameplay. When camping or resting, any party member with healing abilities will expend them before regaining their daily uses, saving you from having to heal your party manually. When you attempt a skill check with your entire party selected, the most skilled character will be the one attempting it without need to select them individually. Cleric storekeepers sell scrolls of atonement, which allow you to quickly reset your Character Alignment invoked to where it was at character creation, just in case you manage to alignment-drift to the point of losing access to class features. | |

Ludicrous Gibs: Big hits cause enemies to explode. Useful in the case of trolls, since they need to be either damaged by fire or acid or be gibbed like this to stay dead. Counterproductive with many magical and non-magical beasts, which can be skinned for their valuable pelts if they aren't gibbed. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: A problem initially before patches fixed things. Still pops up in some places. In a game that is otherwise fairly free-form with combat and allows for a great deal of tactical maneuvering, several fights will force your entire party to a set position for a cutscene robbing you of your ability to position. Additionally, these short ingame cutscenes cannot be skipped and spell timers continue to run during them. Most notable is the fight with Irovetti since this repositioning happens in the middle of the fight and pulls you into a dangerous aura he likely cast in the first part, only to have a fairly lengthy scene during which most of your short-term spells will expire. How you're supposed to fight swarms was initially only seen in a loading-screen tip, making the ones in the Fangberry Cave a huge Guide Dang It! that required you to buy or hoard specific items you otherwise had little use for. Now that information is both given to you by the person who tells you to go there (along with some anti-swarm weapons) and pops up right before you see your first swarm, and the Cave was expanded so you don't need to fight the swarm to finish the quest but instead get some nice loot if you do. | |

Obvious Beta: The game's initial release wasn't very smooth. It was littered with bugs and issues, with some of them preventing the completion of quests.

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: No matter how high your position is, You're still asked to go out and fix the problems of your country by hand, though you can dictate some issues to your advisers to deal with instead. Averted with crafters: Allowing them to set up shop in your kingdom and dealing with the occasional hitch in their plans will make them pay you regular tribute in the form of magic weapons and items (and eventually a unique and otherwise unobtainable masterpiece). | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_f821e963 | comment |
Possibly inverted in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Nyrissa splits the party and kills off your companions one by one, but if you resolved their personal quests favorably, they can survive and rejoin you. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Comes hand in hand with the options to choose (and shift towards) an Evil alignment, and it's doubly reinforced by the Mythic Paths. Certain paths, such as Swarm-That-Walks (the "Ultimate Evil" path) are a cavalcade of cruelty. Of course, the biggest instance is killing Ember when you first meet her. | |

PlayerCharacter | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_fbc074c3 | comment |
The game's treatment of its kobolds, mites, trolls, goblins, and even human barbarians can be seen as a deconstruction, depending on your choices and the Player Character's Character Alignment. invoked They are all capable and guilty of 'evil' acts, that evil may seem intrinsic to their culture, but the way they live and act is significantly influenced by the fact that they're treated as disposable monsters and mooks rather than thinking, feeling beings. The kingdom of Trobold, despite its early stumbles, can grow into a peaceful ally — but it requires the Baron/ess to possess a Chaotic alignment, to be willing to challenge convention and take what the game acknowledges is a fairly serious risk. It can pay off in the ending, where Hargulka's trolls and/or Tartuk's kobolds can become peaceful allies who actually rush to your aid in the final chapter. | |

Foe Romance Subtext | |
| Pathfinder (Video Game) / int_fc9b6be5 | comment |
The final romance option available in Kingmaker is Nyrissa after she herself, but accessing it is so convoluted that entire guides have been written to help. Particularly frustrating is that getting the secret ending on this path requires dialogue options with bosses - Tartuk, Vordakai, and Armag. Tartuk and Armag (whose dialogues are interchangeable) can die without you being able to talk to them, and the check for Vordakai? It requires an Arcane Knowledge check of 21 or higher to even access it, is absolutely required, and it's completely hidden! Compounding this Vordakai likes to use death spells on your weaker party members, like the ones most likely to have that skill, and if they're not alive at the end of the fight (you don't get time to heal them before the conversation comes up) you can't use their bonuses. | |

Brick Joke: In the very first journal entry, Linzi writes: "Linzi the...note to self: when I come up with a fancy nickname, add it here". In the last page of the epilogue book, she refers to herself as "Linzi-who-never-picked-a-fancy-nickname". | |
