  • Wrath of the Righteous drops the kingdom management in favour of army management. It takes less time, but is by far and away less satisfying. Outside of that, Wrath is better than Kingmaker I think, but they’re both excellent.

    In Wrath you can literally be a lich with control of an entire city of reanimated corpses. You can reanimate important side characters as your undead servants. And that’s just one of the mythic paths available. You can also be a sentient swarm of locusts. Yes really.

    I know what you mean though, they’re very long and hard to finish - might be all the reading. Owlcat are old school and, especially since Baldurs Gate 3, their games feel feel dated because of it.



















  • I remember the first time I found the woman with the crossbow, her model didn’t render during the cutscenes. I was assaulted and talking to a floating crossbow. It was definitely buggy.

    The sequel’s issues were more down to a change in focus and tone though. The story in both is pretty generic, but I at least enjoyed the focus being the zombies in the first - that first night mission when you first see volatiles after destroying the antizin is terrifying. Finding the special zombies through story missions were always horrific enough. Night time in 2 was just fun run time.

    The ignored cliffhanger from 1 was the zombies seemingly organising and communicating towards the end. That would’ve been more interesting than another zombified dude and humans are the real threat and all that. I just wish they stuck with the horror tone.
