    Ahh… i remember kingmaker. 200 hours is what a single playthrough took. Wrath of the rightuous improved greatly upon the previous game.

      I’d add probably 30-50 hours just figuring out what classes you want to play. Then spells. Then actual game mechanics. So that’s puts a safe starting point for a full run after 150 hours.

      Then add the 200 single playthrough to that.

      I got a little upset when then released Rogue Trader, just because they finished their new game before I finished my first lol

        Haha true that! Bot to mention finding portrait art to match the character design.

      Yeah, 220 hours for mine, including the DLC campaign. Game is a buggy mess though and not properly balanced, especially near the end. As long as WotR improves at least those things, I’d be happy.

        I barely had any bugs/glitches in kingmaker. Only a couple of visual ones. Nothing game breaking even though I messed around with mods too. The game was balanced really well too. Pathfinder is just a hard system.

        Wotr is better in a lot of ways, but I did encounter a game breaking bug where one of the army stats stopped levelling.

        not properly balanced

        IME, that’s just the dangers of running Pathfinder. There can be such a disparity between a well built character and someone just going through character creation picking random stuff that it’s hard to balance for both possibilities. As a DM, I’ve always kinda played it by ear and tried to have some way to scale the difficulty on the fly built into as many encounters as I can.
