Finished my Paladin Angel playthrough last night.
Got what I thought was a decent ending, with me being King of the world and everybody loves me, until I looked stuff up and found that there are way "better" endings.
The queen died in my playthrough -- I thought that was unavoidable, but apparently not. Plus, Ascension?
I thought I'd been thorough, but I actually missed heaps of stuff. Eg in Act 1 I somehow missed out on Daeran, Woljif, Finnean AND Radiance. Enough for a second playthrough, but not for a while.
All told, it was a great campaign. Thoroughly satisfying.
How did you miss Radiance?
I love Finnean too. On subsequent restarts, I make a beeline for him as soon as I can.
How did you miss Radiance?
Well, if I knew that ... 
I've gotten back to the game and I gotta say, I HATE the shifting buildings level design later in the game. What a pain in the butt navigating that place trying to wrap up quests.

That made me so angry, I killed the whole slave market.
I've stalled out in Act 3 but will probably pick it up again. I've been watching crpgbro build and tips videos.
Some of the tips for Unfair seem exploitative (for example pause on locating enemy, queueing abilities like charge and spells before combat toggles).
Some of the other tips sound amazing (like meta enhancing non friendly fire Grease as OP).
Also I have no great ability building casters so his tips on spell resistance are amazing.
Greenman is having @05 off of the season pass 2 so I bit.
I am enjoying the shifter quite a bit. I want to try all the archetypes including the base archetype because apparently there is a great wolf/mammoth aspect or wolf/raptor build.
But right now, I love the manticore (ranged dps)! It seems excellent for Through the Ashes as you need practically no gear to be effective. I know the point is to use puzzles and noncombat solutions to encounters but in those instances where you fail or miss the puzzle, you are not crippled.
The fey form, dragon form and rogue form seem really neat.
$15 on the spring Steam sale was too good to pass up. Now I am watching an almost two hour "new player's guide" on Youtube!
LOL so if I watch the 2 hour video and listen to your 1 hour build block I will have spent more time learning about playing the game than I have playing about half the games I own!
Not that it might not be worth it but it is funny.

Sometimes the best parts of playing the game are the stuff you do around the game! (plus, that video and our podcast can be done at work in the office lol.)
Mortisimal does good WotR stuff. There a lot of uber math build guides out there. His are much less technical.
I sub his channel.
Uh, WOTR beginners guide in a nutshell: be a melee pet class at the start so you don't uninstall the game then respec to whatever you want after clearing the beginning area.
Crpgbro, whilst his videos might seem impenetrable, does have a pretty good series on this. His beginner tips to surviving the hardest difficulty is pretty helpful in terms of getting the drop on some optional fights and more generally in encounters.
This one is giving me lots of ideas. What I really wish is that the game had some sort of short section where I could try several different classes. Maybe the respec you mention will offer that.
Pathfinder: WotR - Five Builds For Beginners
My choices for beginner classes are:
hunter - pet, druid spells, spontaneous cast (don't have to memorize), melee or ranged
cleric - channel energy is incredibly useful/powerful, with animal domain you can get a pet
kineticist - less variety of spells for a caster but can cast damage at will
shifter - almost zero dependency on gear, high ac, high dps (ranged or melee), crazy high number of attacks
witch - versatile caster, hexes, easiest to make arcane trickster prestige class with
Note that if you are a gnome or halfling, if you have a pet, you can mount most of them at level 1. You can only do that with a horse for the larger races or some other pets when they increase in size at level 7.
I hear the next pathfinder game will have fascinating sci-fi ranged weapon combat an immersive story and fully fleshed out characters. In order to unlock the full game you will need to engage in ConQuest mode. ConQuest mode involves the player uploading video of flagellation with nettles on the hour every hour to the devs.
I made a slayer based on the video above and a cleric based on fangblackbones recommendation. Now I am playing an hour or so of each to see which feels better. I now that won’t tell me how it will be the whole game but it give me a start
Hmm Slayer is a very strong melee DPS class. Cleric can do a lot of things, including DPS, but their main role is party buffs and spot healing. Their DPS output is more mid to late game though when they get powerful self buffs.
This would probably be a good time to re-post the WOTR class picker spreadsheet I did. This doesn't include the new Shifter class (yet), but it should otherwise be pretty complete. Please use it; it took me forever to make.
