I killed Playful Darkness.

Oh yeah, I remember this one. It was a massive difficulty spike, and thought it's impossible to kill at first. Definitely one of the most difficult fights in the game (except vavakia vanguards, which I genuinely believe are broken).

Yep, I agree, it's a tough enemy. It has an insane Armor Class, a lot of resistances, and some nasty attacks. It can kill a party member in just one turn.
But it has some weaknesses. Even though its regular AC is crazy high, its Touch AC on the other hand is really low: an 11, to be precise. So I just hit it with Touch attacks, like the Angel Mythic path ability called Close to the Heavens. That's what I killed it with, but I used a lot of other similar attacks as well.

Well, I’m thinking of giving these games a try sometime in the coming weeks (if RL finally slows down enough), starting with Kingmaker. Are there any DLCs you think are worthwhile or essential?

The Wildcards, that's for sure. An interesting NPC, a new race, and also a new class.

Varnhold's Lot is supposed to be an interesting side-story, but because it's not incorporated into the main game, I never could figure out when to play it.

Beneath the Stolen Lands is a side roguelite dungeon.

I agree with @Antimatter: The Wildcards is a must, imo. New race, class AND quests.
Varnhold's Lot - you can play it at least once before begining of Act 4: 'The Varnhold Vanishing' so you will be able to import data from one of your DLC saves into your main game at the beginning of Act 4.
Beneath the Stolen Lands is a source of nice items. I see at it as a some kind of Endless Paths of Od Nua from Pillars of Eternity.

Thank you for the recommendations.

Gosh, it’s hard being a grownup today. I really just want to leave work, go home, make a pot of coffee, stack a plate of cookies, and play games all day. I’m starting to think my calling in life should have been to be a trust fund baby. Did the stork make a mistake??? Do I really belong to a wealthy family??? This working for a living thing just won’t do.

A new Mass Effect Citadel DLC-style has been announced for P:WotR - it will have some bonus content/party with all companions and some questing.

Shoot... sounds interesting. I actually tried Kingmaker but couldn't get it to work on my Mac, so I had to pack it in. One day if I ever get a gaming rig going...

Well well well. Luke Scull (also known as Alazander) dropped a bombshell today! Ossian Studios are going to develop a single-player turn-based RPG in the Pathfinder setting.



Quite big shoes to fill (after Owlcat and their Pathfinder games, and also after Larian and BG3).
