I highly recommend using a guide if you're not extremely chill about missing stuff.

I also realized partway through I really dislike pathfinder 1e, so i just started cheating, and then lost interest.

For what it's worth, Wrath of the Righteous is much better than Kingmaker in basically all regards.

If you just hate Pathfinder 1e then there's not really any saving that, but if your main gripe with Kingmaker was the story and quest design, WOTR significantly raised the bar there in my opinion.

Hey! Skyrim was legitimately easier when dragons and vampires weren't killing off all your townspeople. It made sense not to trigger the dragons, and wipe the floor with the vampires as soon as possible. Jarl Balgruf will be there when the Archmage/ Nightingale/ Speaker is ready. It takes me a few weeks to take over those organizations.

What can I say? I'm wacky like that 🤷

I still play Skyrim and Fallout 4. The games are legitimately better if you exhaust your side quests first. I was just clearing Vault 88 last night.

I don't spend times on games that need a guide. Put clues in your games if that's what you're doing. I work way too much to learn every consequence of in game decisions that aren't at least hinted at. Reading a guide is just spoiling. Make good fucking games. If you give me a 20 hour gotcha I'll never play it again and tell others not to bother.

Cyberpunk 2077: Here's a really important and urgent thing. We can't stress enough how little time you have. Also, we just unlocked the rest of the city and a million side quests. Have fun!

i am inclined to agree. the final fantasy 7 remake was surprisingly gentle about not having stupid missables. You could miss stuff, but it was recoverable without starting the whole thing over.

i had a whole argument with someone on here a while ago where they insisted i just had "fomo" because i didn't like this sort of surprise consequences. Foreshadowing is cool. Unpredictable is, to me, unsatisfying.

Personally, I don't like it. I'm a completionist. And it's a lot easier when I can play the whole game in one playthrough.

But what about when you die fighting the Dark Lord because you're not overlevelled from doing all the sidequests?

Yeah. Just get some money and rent these apartments, who cares if the one moving in them won't be you anymore :)
