DRAGON'S DOGMA PLAYERS I SEEK KNOWLEDGE

>To the piratefags: Does it run well?

>>323933784
Yes it affects a lot of things.
Small characters actually fit in certain holes in dungeons and shit. While taller characters can climb higher ledges.
>>323934058
>Holes and higher ledges
Oh, is this an actual feature? I thought it was just a funny side-affect.
>>323934137
Nope, there are some areas with holes that smaller characters can fit through, including a Goblin lair and broken walls.
>>323934138
Sounds like the perfect game for pedophiles then.
>>323933784
Yes, size and build effect base stats, carry weight, and have many other consequences (small characters may end up submerging their lantern in water when crossing rivers, they can be more easily picked up by harpies or eaten by larger monsters, and only small characters can enter troll nests)
Armor variation is quite good. Pawn fashion is serious business.
It's MT Framework, it runs fantastically. It does require a modern CPU, however, a phenom II probably isn't going to cut it.
There is a hard mode which simply increases damage done to you, decreases the damage you do, and doubles XP gains (kinda broken, you outlevel even the hard mode enemies rather quickly). There's also the Everfall and Bitterblack Isle which are endgame/postgame content filled with enemies you never see in the main game including exclusive bosses and a shit-ton of epic gear (in the proper sense of the word)
Gonna make a big nig pawn and name him Giguh. You anons will hire him to protect your tiny precious loli asses, right?
>If making a loli, does the size of your companion affect anything? Carry weight/health/attack power? Does character creation have an affect on gameplay?
Yes, height affects taller character's walking speed and carry weight if I remember correctly. Smaller characters can fit into small caves/holes and regain stamina faster
>What is the armour variation like? Is there plenty of cool weapons and shit?
There's a shitton of cool armor, rip the berserk armor tho. There are different weapon types and all weapons within their type works the same. Their skills give your variation
>To the piratefags: Does it run well?
Watch totalbiscuits new vid
>Are there different difficulties and do they add any differences other than adding HP or attack power to enemies?
There's hardmode which is basically what you just described, and speedrunmode where the game gives you pretty much everything in order to finish the game asap
>>323934324
That picture just shows the kind of details the game has. I wish I had the other picture/guide that shows how your pawn AI learns from you. Like you can train them to do very exact things, it's wild.
>>323934441
As long as he doesn't have the guardian inclination, sure.
>>323934474
>Watch totalbiscuits new vid
i'l have to pass on that
>>323934324
Lolifaggots aside, the details in this shit are really great. Training pawns is satisfying as shit, and they can be very, very versatile and cool in fights as a result.
>Buffpawn gets on his knee and throws you into the air to save you scaling a big enemy
>Archerpawn targets weaker harpies above you to keep them off you while you fight ground foes
>Magepawn uses specific buffs against enemies that are weaker than you
>Gutspawn (RIP ARMOUR) will rush in and rip n tear while you stay back and target who you please
Shit's cool, anon.
>>323933784
dragons dogma is based as fuck. the dlc is actually really challenging, you can play through multiple times. its a rewarding game, you just have to put a little time into stuff.
i usually play a giant warrior with a small little loli mage or assassin. theres a combo move that you can train your pawn where you launch them and they do a little jumping stab attack or reach higher ledges. lolis are based.
So, it is better to create a loli or a amazon as MC? And what about the pawn? Loli or amazon?
Help me please.
>>323934917
Loli pawns get sent back to their owners with a Hoe in their inventory.
So I plan on making a bromance between my Pawn and myself, like 2 best buddies going on an adventure. I've read theres a point in the story though where your pawn and you have a borderline gay experience. Will this be awkward or was that just troll talk?
>>323934973
theres sort of romances with certain characters. . but thats all ill say so i dont spoil anything.
is this game anything like dark souls
>>323935180
Aesthetically, but not really gameplay.
>>323935180
no. just visually i guess.
>>323935180
kill yourself senpai
>>323935180
Not really, there's a Stamina bar... that's really it.
>>323933784
>If making a loli, does the size of your companion affect anything? Carry weight/health/attack power? Does character creation have an affect on gameplay?
I haven't studied it too closely, but weight does seem to have relevance. If in nothing else, then the weight of your pawns actually correctly affects your encumbrance, which I thought was a really neat detail.
>What is the armour variation like? Is there plenty of cool weapons and shit?
Armor variation is good, and a lot of layering stuff. As for weapons, there is a variety, but your current vocation determines which weapons you can use, which is kinda fucking stupid.
>To the piratefags: Does it run well?
Yeah. It's a decent enough port. I had absolutely no performance issues, though I have a high-level PC. The only issue I have, but it's annoying as fuck: I get MASSIVE screentearing, even with fucking V-sync on. Not sure what causes it.
U.I. can get a bit annoying with mouse and keyboard but it's not worse than your average multiplat release.
>Are there different difficulties and do they add any differences other than adding HP or attack power to enemies?
There are different difficulties, but I haven't explored their impact yet.
In general, the game is a massive mixed bag for me. So many really cool ideas, small details, touches, but also so many mindboggingly stupid decisions. The one-save thing has to be the biggest offender. Seriously: there is no FUCKING. JUSTIFICATION for that shit.
Also, the world is insanely generic and the progression is muddy, involves trial and error, and lower level magical vocations are boring as SHIT. And the combat is really only fun when you fight the large enemies - with smaller enemies it's an exercise in frustration and boredom.
On the other hand: the pawn system is kinda cool, the grabbing and climbing mechanics are cool, later-level spells are awesome, giant enemies are awesome, and there is so much of these small clever things sprinkled around.
>>323934917
Whatever you want senpai. It's hard to go wrong here. I guess loli would be more difficult to have as a pawn though.
>>323935347
those are my only two complaints, you will be chasing smaller enemies around. and a few of the bandits can be a pain in the ass at first. FUCK SINGLE SAVE SYSTEMS.
>>323934572
As someone who casually had like 4 characters get to end game of DD:DA what do the inclinations mean for pawns? I always hear people talk about the Guardian one like it's worse. Does it effect pawn behavior that much?
>>323935780
Yes, inclinations are basically what determines your pawn's AI behaviors outside of encounter knowledge.
Guardian is the worst because a guardian pawn will constantly stop what it's doing in-battle to stand uselessly next to you.
Is there a way to mod the game to make multiple save slots?
>>323935780
the inclinations are how they run their behavior. guardian is shit because it makes the ai focus on you way to much. you can find some great guides on the inclination system. http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Pawn_Inclination
heres one.
>>323935305
>ask question
>kill yourself

>>323934138
>No mention of the fact you can teach pawns catch
>>323936260
WHAT
>>323936260
Holy shit, are you pulling my leg?
>>323935780
>Does it effect pawn behavior that much?
Oh yes. Inclinations can help you if you have an entirely different strategy than your pawn. For example if you play fighter and have a mage, don't give him scather, because he will start to get close to enemies like you do. Scather encourages this. But if you play a mage and don't want your fighter pawn to stay away from enemies like you do, really give him scather.
Guardian is good in concept but it just doesn't work like intended.
>not making a loli pawn to be your adopted daughter and then using Secret of Metamorphosis during post game to make her into your slut
>>323936342
>>323936351
Go teach them how to play "catch the deer".
Then hire other pawns that know how to play, and basically play a game of Four Square.

there is also fall damage, and you can pick people up. make of that what you will.
>>323936000
>>323936018
>>323936352
Oh cool. Up till now I have always just stuck my pawn with the healing roll so I never had to worry about it and almost never saw them during battle. This time I'm thinking of making a Strider/Ranger teamup and experiment with more shit.
>>323936689
Yes there is you just have tolet Fornivale be your beloved
Which would be more entertaining with an Amazon-tier pawn, shota or loli?
how do you train your pawn to do detailed things? all i know is that chair to sit in, but there arent many option i can change there
I want my pawn to sit on my faaace!
>>323936839
no anon, [black cat is best girl].
>>323936342
>>323936351
You can throw animals at each other. Multiple pawns will fight over it, trying to be the one to throw it back to you. It's adorable.
>see someone playing DD in my friends list
>steam never ever showed that it was released while it throws random shooters and sport games in its startups
What the fuck?
>does it run well?
I've been shooting lasers all day and it was a steady 60 fps. It's great.
>>323937176
It's not released.
>tfw fell in love with my pawn

I knew that someone with a dragon avatar would be greedy.
>>323937420
Any application can be run through Steam with any name, for all Steam knows he opened notepad.
>>323937346
But I haven't ever bought a sport game and the last shooter I bought was RO2 four years ago.
I know about the store page doing that but I thought that such pop-ups which predated the system were the same for everyone.
>>323937291
Stop it Arararararagi
>>323937552
It sure didn't say: non-Steam game: Dragon's Doga
Please don't crucify me for asking this. I know it's in most threads. The Berserk armour was in the review build. When it was found that it could be achieved through cheat engine it was removed entirely. Surely there must be a mod to add them back in by now? Where do you even go for DD mods?
>>323937668
Meant for >>323937518
>>323937074
>to do detailed things
Best way is to research online which inclinations are best for your pawn and to make your pawn chug a bunch of potions that make them act that way. Then be the same class as them so they learn your strategies. That's for very detailed shit. They'll be fine with just the inclination potions and filling the bestiary. The potions are sold at the encampment for RC.
>>323937349
>that's the one word to describe dragon's dogma
I would not say the game is clever, I'd say there are clever, or maybe more "cool and neat" details to it.
When does the game activate?
12 at midnight?
Guys, a few questions about pawns.
So with a mage pawn, what inclination should you give them? Utilitarian?
With mage pawns, what's the quickest way to train them? Just use mage for 20 levels and spam comestion?
>>323934137
I'm abozt 15 hours in and so far it wasn't. The only small hole where I profited from being a loli had nothing if wirth in it.
And I can get on most ledges, there were like 2 I couldn't get on but I could circumvent that with levitate.
What's fucking atrocious, though, is the fact that you move like a freaking snail as a loli.
Will I do less damage as a loli?
>>323937761
Well, there hasn't been a PC release until now, so I assume the ModDB will take care of it when they're made.
>>323937767
>>323937668
It has to be a non-steam exe unless Capcom gave him early access.
>>323937761
You can't add it 'back' in. The models are not in the game. You'd have to make your own models.
Who does armor generally look better on: males or females?
>>323937552
I guess Steam wants you to branch out and buy more games from other genres then?

>She runs away
Alright, is there anything I can do about this?
>If making a loli, does the size of your companion affect anything? Carry weight/health/attack power? Does character creation have an affect on gameplay?
yes, it affects certain things like weapon reach and i believe speed.
>What is the armour variation like? Is there plenty of cool weapons and shit?
Armour variation is p. good, weapons have good variety. Also magic is some of the best.
>To the piratefags: Does it run well?
runs great for me on my 970 + i5 4690
>Are there different difficulties and do they add any differences other than adding HP or attack power to enemies?
there are. hard mode makes enemies harder to kill but also makes them drop more stuff. it's also very replayable, a la monster hunter where you'll actually want to try out more classes.
>>323937850
The trick to Dragon's Dogma is:do whatever you think is fun.
There are no wrong choices. Whatever you don't accomplish, you have NG+.

Same amount of damage. You'll have shorter reach though.

Someone probably has a back up of the files lying around. That's what I mean by adding them back in. Even if it means replacing some other armour sets with the Berserk ones.
>>323937992

What do you think guys?
Can i make it?
>>323934138
Woah someone put my post into this?
Neat
>>323937992
I say female. There's female exclusive armor as well. I don't think there's men exclusive armor.
I plan on playing through the game once blind for the most part, but a few questions
1. Is there anything I MUST know before starting?
2. Greatsword warrior as fun as I hope it is? In my head it looks a bit like MH GS.
3. Can I play on hard right away? Would it be feasible?
>>323937170
No translation needed.

>>323938272
There is, Julien Armor.
How much longer until release in USA? I don't know how much longer I can hold it
>>323938416
It is single player but a lot of the fun is renting other peoples pawns, and having your pawn get rented out. By renting pawns out and yours getting rented while your not playing, you teach other players pawns knowledge of quests, and vice versa.
You may also see other players pawns walking around the world and you can interact with them. Theres a very cool subtle dark souls like online system.
>>323936574
Adding to this, if you have a warrior pawn, you can play baseball instead of catch.
Toss a goblin at them.
>>323937850
I heard utilitarian/mendiacant is a good combo, but also heard that mendicant is shit.
Maybe go with utilitarian/mitigator or challenger, can't go wrong with this.
>>323938554
use vpn in 12 hours
How many hours can you sink into this game? I'm really looking for a game with a good amount of replayability and can easily sink 100+ hours into. Is this game good for that?
>>323938340
every class has its pro and cons, warrior has only three skillslots you can use, you're at an disatvantage against anything flying and the skills have a long chargeup time. pro is insane damage and wrecking shit like a man of men. its what i prominently played, was hella fun to me
>>323938340
I'd also like to know #3. I read that hard doubles the damage you take and the stamina you consume. How badly does this affect you on your first playthrough?
>>323936647
Nope.
>steam normalfags
>>323933784
Can I make a hot woman and a shota?
It's my fetish
>>323938340
For greatsword you're going to be doing a lot of light jump attacks in order for the quickest attack and to stun enemies to do a special attack. You may want to invest in a Strider augment that boost jump damage. Playing on hard is actually really good, More exp and more money. With warrior you're going to get a lot of HP so you'll be even better but the 3 things I recommend you always stock up on is Herbs, Mushrooms and Conqueror's Periapts (use 5 at a time since they stack and boost physical damage by 20%) Though Periapts can really break the game since you can literally one shot END game bosses if you're powerful enough (but you should be able to get to that point anyway, it's bound to happen)
>>323938737
Welp, my preload just disappeared.
>>323938690
you'll get btfo really, really hard considering early game is the hardest part
after you fight though it, you'll become so op nothing will be a challenge anymore
>>323938340
>1. Is there anything I MUST know before starting?
Go back to the village after fighting... the thing in the encamptment. Save the girl in the forest.
2. Can't say for sure, it's one of my favorte vocations, other think he's to slow and doesn't have enough options
3. It would be, but don't do it. The beginning will be painful but at some point it will become really easy.
>>323938636
At least 100 hours.
Is it not coming on the PS4?
>>323938450

absolutely. probably make her a knight, she'll protect your innocent ass
>make your character huge and buff man
>make main pawn huge and buff man
>use cutest loli support mage
>>323938690
Stock up on Mushrooms and Healing herbs and you won't notice much except that you'll get one shotted a lot if you're not careful. It's so doable though and really great. Keeps you on your toes and you can just run to evade.
>>323938851
That's for one playthrough, right? And from what I hear the game has a lot of shit to replay it for.
remember guys, always make a guardian

BBI is the endgame dungeon that you want to clear several times if you like the base game. And it doesn't get boring until you either hit level 200 or have all the items you need, but both takes a lot of time.

Are there unique items?
Do enemies drop gear or just materials?
Is there hidden stuff in the game? Like dungeons or rare monsters?
EY YO HOL UP
Post your character
Is there a way to lock on to enemies?
>>323937850
Scather Utilitarian
He goes after the big bad and heals only when needed
IF you really want a healer that bad I guess you could try medicant, but utilitarian is much more useful
>>323939702
Not for most vocations.
>>323939702
Spells can lock on to enemies and so can Magick Bows. If you stand in one spot though with enemies around you and don't move and press the attack button you'll attack the closest thing.
The game would only be better if you could also play with other people online and when you do your pawns disappear temporarily
>>323939702
A little, although there's seriously no need for it. With how easily cancelable moves are with movement, you shouldn't have trouble.
Only magic oriented classes can use a degree of lock-on.
I'm getting very excited for this game now. I just want to hear Grigori's bass voice again.
>>323939676
>When I start the game, can I just run around and find dungeons and shit with gear in them?
Yes, but you might have a hard time.
>Are there unique items?
Yes.
>Do enemies drop gear or just materials?
Materials most of the time, gear really rarely.
>Is there hidden stuff in the game? Like dungeons or rare monsters?
The game will lead you to every dungeon and you will probably fight every monster through this. There are though some more hidden encounters at night.

Have fun watching your pawn cancelling his spell all the time because he's next to an attacking enemy. Oh and possibly some unwanted climbing.
>>323940041
yes

Why the fuck would you headcanon that when theyliterally become you?
>>323940002
I consider Pawns the best companion AI to ever grace videogames.
There's a bunch of variables going on and they make quick and often smart decisions. Normally in RPG's you're babysitting your companions. With the right Pawn, it can be the opposite. It's really incredible.
>>323937850
PRO TIPS FOR MAGE PAWNS INCOMING:
>Utilitarian should always be your pawn's primary inclination. This will make your pawn utilize "advantageous strategies". This means they'll use their buffs and grapnel more often. Obviously, they're still going to heal if you're hurt, but having utilitarian makes them do things OTHER than healing. Nobody wants a pawn who sits on their ass when there's buffing to be done.
>As for a secondary inclination, Challenger is a good choice, especially if you've taught your pawn how to use Grapnel. Challenger will make them target the strongest enemies. Combine that with Utilitarian, and they will more often than not target the big enemies with Grapnel, slowing them down for a little while. This allows you to pick off any weaker enemies and then focus on the big guy. A great weapon to give Mages is the Rusted Staff. When upgraded, the Rusted Staff will cause your spells (Grapnel, in this case.) to inflict poison and torpor. Past earlygame, poison is shit, but torpor is very useful since its effects will continue to ail enemies even after your pawn stops using Grapnel. You don't have to worry about the staff's low power either, because Mages aren't really fit for attacking anyway.
Personally, I think teaching your pawn to just buff, heal, and use Grapnel is more important than teaching them how to use a spell. Comestion is nice, though. You'll want at least one attacking spell for your pawn.
>>323940041
Armor works like this.
Red classes use Heavy armor
Yellow uses light armor
Blue uses cloth armor
Warrior is plainly red and can only wear heavy armor
Mystic Knights are Red and Blue which means they can wear both Heavy armors and Cloth armors if I remember correctly.

>Do warriors and mystic knights use the same armor?
Most times, but there's certain armor exclusive to just warriors. There's very few of it however.

where even are the save files?
I still have no idea what this game is about.
It seriously lacks identification. It looks like an older korean MMO. Not that that's bad, but I know it's not korean, nor MMO.
I'm only buying it because I've heard you can make a femboy. That said, the clothing options will probably ruin it. But I can't imagine this (and choosing right party members) can have storyline impact, people are just playing make-believe with their dream characters, don't they?
Is there any kind of roll or backstep? Or do I just have to get better in predicting enemy attacks?

Because I saw some AODs which looked a bit different than the others, didn't even think about that.
I'll keep that in mind.

This shit is fucking ridiculous. You would never know there was so much depth to the mechanics just by looking at the surface.

Don't use Conan in your retarded post.
Are there augments a Sorcerer needs from Mage?
>>323940381
its about fighting shit that has actual physics i guess
if you want to know more there are tremendous spoilers that ruin the game

Is this new? I swear I did it all of the time without repercussion before.
how mobile are archers? i want to be a magick one or ranger and just run around firing arrows at shit
>>323940381

You can wear a literal dress.
What is it with Dragons Dogma that makes people unable to google things?
>>323934324
Yeah, I love it!
>>323939676
>When I start the game, can I just run around and find dungeons and shit with gear in them?
You can but honestly there's no real point to exploring on your own. Any unique location is part of a quest, and they're usually way overleveled for you the first time you come across them, so if you don't wait until you find the quest you're going to be fighting a slog through an area you're going to have to revisit anyway. The game has got enough backtracking as it is.
>Are there unique items?
Depends what you mean. If you mean just items that only spawn once, yes, but they're pretty infrequent. Most shit you can buy in some shop given some requirement.
>Do enemies drop gear or just materials?
In my experience, only materials.
>Is there hidden stuff in the game? Like dungeons or rare monsters?
No, the game leads you to everything at some point or another.
>>323940432
so warrior is literally just standing there waiting for stuff to run into your hueg sword? seems boring af desu
>>323939331
How do warrior pawns fair? I want to play as a ranger and make my pawn a 2h warrior. Will they do similar shit?
>>323940414
It's a skill. I think assassin have the roll and warrior/mystic knight have a backstep slashing skill.
>>323939606

Maybe because greaves aren't trousers. They're greaves.

If you want to really minmax, mage has an augment that bossts magic attack 10%. It's up to you if it's worth it. So you can have up to 30%.
You can exploit a trick in post-game to get it.
>>323940617
If you want mobile archer go Strider or Assassin.
Not entirely sure about Magick Archer but Ranger is pretty stationary.

TECHNOLOGY
>>323940381
>I still have no idea what this game is about.
How in depth do you want me to get? On the surface it's pretty basic, there's a red dragon and he's stolen your heart. He's challenged you to get your heart back under threat of destroying your country. Thing is the dragon always does this for a particular reason. But most Arisen don't make it to him anyway because they keep dying and if they do make it to him then they die to him. The last one to "kill" a dragon is Duke Edmun which is why he's a celebrated hero but there's more to that too. Which is why he keeps sending you on missions that have nothing to do with the dragon but seem to be meant solely to get you killed because he may or may not be afraid that you're just trying to take his throne.

Male in my opinion.

Every class that wields daggers can roll.

Pretty good. Most everyone will point to the uncle dante pawn as an example of what they really can be.
>>323940767
Magick archer is as mobile as a strider, don't remember many skills locking you in place.
>>323940915
oh fucking jesus those alpha maps
>>323940617
Magic archers are pretty good all around. You can move around a bit faster than walking speed while aiming, and you don't have to stop to fire. The bonus to magic archers is the tracking distance and homing effect of your shots. Magic bow and daggers is super fun.
So when does this shit unlock? Does it not unlock at midnight? I am east coast and it says 21 hours?
Anybody know anything about what the physical version contains? DVDs or just a download code?
>>323940603
I think once you start the Wyrm Hunt throwing people are hurting them gets the guard on you.
>>323939289
Wait a day or two and someone will probably put out a mod that replaces the post-game skyboxes with the normal ones.
>>323940414
All bow classes can dodge roll after unlocking that ability.

>>323940592
That's good to hear, I guess. I suppose the game doesn't reveal much because it has much to hide, rather than just having no story.
>>323940646
Every armor goes on every character?
>>323940848
I don't want to have the game spoiled, really. I'm just wondering how much truth is there behind "I'll make an X character and be" beyond wishful thinking. Like, what can crazy Japs put into this game in terms of pawn technology, beyond learning patterns.

Redundant statement, there's no other way to play the game as far as I'm concerned.

There are gender locked armors but the dress is possible to be worn on males. Primarily because there's one quest line involving a bitchy feminist that will instantly aggro the second a male enters her keep.

Didn't everyone get the epic Berserk roleplay out of their systems like 4 years ago?

That's just one of his skills. It's satisfying the first couple of times. I prefer being surrounded by enemies and using Corona slash.

Besides encumbrance height and body type also affects the rate at which stamina is consumed.
Smaller = slower stamina burn.
>>323941497
I wish
Even with the armor removed, they're still trying
>>323941598
smaller = faster stamina burn you dumbass yuroshit
>>323941497
Never underestimate the autism of the Berserk fans.
>>323941560THIS IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH

This >>323941657
Smaller gives you faster stamina regen though.
>>323935180
This made me remember when Dark Souls and Skyrim came out and people were asking which one they should buy.
>>323940617
Some of the most mobile classes my man.
Assassin
>Uses a skill that makes you speed up in everything including running and firing your bow and even BOW SKILLS this includes a skill that makes you shoot 5 arrows at once so you become a literal machine gun. Also a shortbow class so while aiming you can move around pretty fast and roll with daggers on at any point while aiming
Archer
>Slower but more damaging with a skill that can shoot 10 arrows at once but a requires a rest in between. Moves slowly while aimed and has daggers so you can roll.
Magick Archer
>Stringless Bow that shoots magic missles, Very versatile if you use certain skills like a homing ice missile attack that shoots out 9 ice missiles that throw small targets in the air and all center and fly into it. Has the mobility of a short bow
They all go much further and are pretty mobile. The fastest is Assassin with that speed up skill I mention and you'll feel really fast while using it. Magick Archer is pretty neat and awesome (you can set yourself on fire and climb giant niggers and burn them) And a Ranger's power is just awesome to behold and use. I like to use this one skill on it that shoots out eleven hours and a wedged pattern, If you get close enough to a target all arrows hit so it's like a shotgun and very very damaging. I've had fun with all bow classes.

For Magick Archer I meant to put it's versatile if you exploit the elemental weakness of monsters by using certain spell-bow attacks. My haste of autism...

Got a question for people who already played thegame
I want to makea shaman looking pawn, but with tribal shit and what not
Is it possible or the tribal looking stuff is reserved for red classes only?
>>323938213

I had a grizzled old magic archer who wore a wolf skin on his head. Set himself on fire all day every day.

>>323941497
>Not wanting to be Guts
>>323941971
Oh, don't forget to buy explosive bolts. You'll literally kill anything that stands in your path. Assassin has a pretty good shotgun type move as well like Ranger, except less arrows.
>>323942216
I was already Guts, Anon.
4 years ago.
>mfw I "completed" the game twice and never knew all this pawn mechanics
Thanks /v/. Any guides out there on how to train your pawn?
>>323942094
Most shaman looking i remember are more red classes indeed. What you can do is choose Mystic Knight. They can use staffs as well.
