Pathfinder: Kingmaker Patch v1.3 Live

A new patch has made its way to Owlcat Games’ isometric cRPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker. As is often the case with Kingmaker’s patches, the patch is absolutely massive, to the point where the changelog had to be split into two separate announcements (Part 1, Part 2).

The main new feature of this patch is the ability to enter the world map straight from the throne room, which is something a lot of people have been asking for since the game initially launched. Other than that, the patch adds some new visual effects, improves the game’s interface, and fixes plenty of bugs and typos. Here are the highlights:

Dear pathfinders,

Patch 1.3 is live! It includes numerous bugfixes, new interface features and various gameplay, visual and localization improvements. Last but, not least, it delivers a huge quality of life feature that we’ve been working on for a long time: entering the Global Map straight from your throne room! Implementing this was quite difficult because so many events, encounters and quests trigger exactly when the player leaves the throne room. It took us a while, but we’re very happy we were finally able to satisfy this common player request.

We are most grateful to everyone who reports bugs, takes part in our beta-tests and helps us improve – you’re the best! As for us, we will keep working on the game and collecting your feedback. Stay tuned for more patch news in the nearest future!

Sincerely,
Owlcats.
