beccaelizabethI just went to look up the Wrath of the Righteous gargoyles to double check if Ember's Sleep hex works (yes and it's awesome)
and I found a bunch of people complaining about how unbalanced that fight is (huh? I win that one.)
and one person complained about how many creatures you can't defeat without looking at their character sheets
because, they said, you don't get access to character sheets on tabletop
and yes the heck you do?
... have these people never made a Knowledge check in their lives?
do they not know what knowledge is for?
Knowledge (Int; Trained Only)
You can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities.
the knowledge and lore checks in Wrath populate the character sheets
and the character sheets are the game mechanical representation of your characters actually knowing their business
so if you insist on knowing less than your character because you wont read a screen you are absolutely going to get your arse kicked a lot.
It's like reading about Kingmaker and seeing someone complaining about a fight with a demilich with no warning when actually reading the books your character picks up and then using the button that inspects the enemy will tell them it's a flippin will o wisp, and how to kill it.
If you pay a little attention to the dialogue, read the character sheets by pressing the appropriate button, pay attention to resistance and vulnerabilities, and actually use turn based in the turn based rule system, you do not have the same problems as the people on the forum threads.
Yes I got my arse kicked on Core but it was not the same ways.
Also I am not under the impression I am good at this or giving out advice on the internet.
(Knowledge is good though.)
I'm not calling Owlcat's translation of the Pathfinder rules perfect and I don't actually play tabletop games due to hiding, but, it is not bad in the ways these people are complaining about, they are just attempting to play an entirely different game.
... which I apparently have feelings about...
... given that my KC is always statted to be the Skilled one and Know Things, since that's the only thing I can really believe in me doing...
