I have never heard a drink referred to as a “mild alcoholic beverage” before! Sounds like what Data from Star Trek would call it! :)

No, it’s basically the same system as Baldur’a Gate and Neverwinter Nights.

Morrus replied to Pathfinder: Kingmaker Is An Isometric RPG Experience

It’s no harder to learn than any other new CRPG with its own system. Probably easier, because like D&D, Pathfinder has the d20 system as it’s kernel. Plus there are pregen options if you don’t want to make a character (though it guides you through that),
