Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the party-based RPG from Owlcat Games and Deep Silver is going to expand with a free Enhanced Edition and another DLC.
They say it's going to include plenty of "gameplay-enriching content additions" along with the usual quality of life improvements to existing features, new abilities and ways to build your character, a new Slayer class, new items and weapons, improved balance especially in the beginning and last two chapters, an improved kingdom management system, an increased variety to the random encounters on the map and so on.
Also, releasing at the same time is the new Beneath The Stolen Lands DLC which will include a massive dungeon to explore, available for new characters and it will be inserted into the main campaign too. Sounds interesting, they say in this DLC that death is only the beginning as you unlock stuff for your next attempt. Both the update and the DLC will be live on June 6th.
I've still yet to give it a go, after it launched with major flaws in the Linux version and so the Linux build was delayed on GOG I just completely forgot to ever go back to it. Quite luckily really then, since this free Enhanced Edition sounds like it might actually be worth the wait. To be clear though, the major launch problems were since fixed.
You can pick up your own copy of Pathfinder: Kingmaker on Humble Store (on sale!), GOG and Steam.
PS. The Linux version still had the wrong audio driver file last time I checked (check steam discussions for link to PoE2 one)

I gave it a try as soon as it was playable on Linux. It really felt like a true successor to the Baldurs Gate games. Great roleplaying!True successor to Baldur's Gate games? *sigh* How can I ignore that? I'll have to take a peek at some fresh takes.

This game has been on and off my wishlist.

What makes the game special to me is, that it feels a lot more pen and paper like than say Pillars of Eternity to me. For me it's more adventuring and less game mechanics. I waited so long to play it when it's really ready.
It is a great successor to BG, and it is easy to get roped into the story as if you were playing a tabletop game. I highly recommend this game.
