Forgot to log into FFXIV for two weeks again, so couldn't post. Not that there is or was much to post about in the first place.

Been playing Pathfinder WoTR now, never finished Kingmaker. Very difficult for me to make a character in the game. I have about 40+ hours in the game logged on Steam solely from me mostly being tabbed out searching for proper portraits (a large portion of my total playtime). I have gotten really bothered by something that should be cool: mythic paths. Now I have to attempt to closely match a character that I think would look proper in game, and semi-match the mythic portraits as well as the base portraits. Sometimes I wish I could do art.

Aside from that, the difficulty is fairly annoying. I'd say it's even worse that Kingmaker, in the sense that you have to have prior knowledge of many of the encounters in the game, otherwise they can be literally impossible to complete. You have to know what and who you have to bring to these encounters (in higher difficulties) beforehand. You can always lower the difficulty, sure, but it trivializes the game in it's entirety. First character I ended up deleting, and my build wasn't even bad, I just didn't want to backtrack as much as I needed to for some of these encounters, you also waste a lot of in-game time having to backtrack. Wasting days is probably worse in Kingmaker than this game however. You are required to literally cheese the game in many instances, to actually overcome much of the difficulty.
