so i know i swore to not play pathfinder2, but my friend whose opinion i trust promised that most of the bugs were ironed out bc of community beta-testing, so i gave it a try. and like. i had fun, ngl!
this is an absolute frankenstein of a game. they stole from baldurs gates. they ripped themes, plot-points and wholecloth characters from both planescape torment and mask of the betrayer, chewed them up and spat them in what reads like a parody. they ripped the skeleton out of Heroes of might and magic 5, shook off a skull and a couple limbs, shoved it into their isometric rpg and called it “campaign management”.
but the trickster path is honestly fun, because it’s so incredibly broken it feels like karmic retribution for the pain of the first game. remember how the entire endgame was nothing but mobs who mass-paralyzed you on sight and also when you rolled 20, it counted as 1? Now the tables have turned. Now when you walk into the room, everyone is not just paralyzed, but also insta-dies. Now all 1s you roll are 20. The Balance(TM)
