DRAGONS DOGMA
Do you guys have any beginner tips for me?
Is there something you should focus on at the start?
Are there any recommended builds?
what class are you going?
also sell the monocle from the start, its worth a lot of money and unless you want to wear a monocle, is shit.
This is a pure adventure game you really don't want guides for.
Run around at night
Go explore an area you haven't even if you're hesitant
Don't be afraid to jump on a boss or try anything
With that said, you probably would like trying fighter or strider before mage. The game's combat system shines in melee, and while magic is done quite well it is fairly slow to build up to a point where it has variety.
1. don't play hard mode
2. you don't have to stick with one class, you can use other classes' augments if you have unlocked them.
3. eternal ferrystone in your stash afer you reach gran soren
Be sure to finish the quest Lost and Found as soon as you get it. If you continue much further, it will automatically be cancelled, locking out an entire zone and a lengthy quest chain.
There are a few side quests like this.
>>324386864
Equipment matters far more than your base stats. Just play the game and don't be afraid to switch your class.
How's Mystic Knight with staff? I'm just running mace since it seems like shield already takes care of magic damage. The game needs a mod that let me swap equipment on the fly by the press of a button.
>>324387163
I just beat the dragon, and I started on hard mode and stuck to one class. Your tips are shit.
I'm level 23 and been playing mage. It's pretty boring actually. Going to try sorcerer but not sure if I'll enjoy it either as I suspect it'll be more of the same.
Thinking about changing to MK or MA. Which is the fun class here?
>>324387263
Well congratulations. Thing is that the general populace on this board are fucking awful at video games. I guess you are the shiny apple from this bunch.
>>324387284
Any class other than mage is fun. It's more of a support class
>>324387284
Mage is support with a mix of offense, sorcerer is mostly pure offense. It's pretty damn fun, sure you'll have to stay still a while and charge for the strongest spells but it's totally worth it imo.
>bandits
>lizard men
>respawning teleporting giant snakes
>harpies killing Mercedes' Ox right before Grand Soren
Godamn I thought this game would be a chilled-out adventure, I was fucking wrong.
>>324387284
MA of course. You can double jump and tumble around
>>324386864
Some sidquests get invalidated by story progression, so if you get a sidequest that isn't from a notice board you should probably do it as soon as you can.
Don't be afraid to switch classes.
Minmaxing is mostly pointless, play what you want to play.
Pawn training is the only thing you need a guide for, look it up if they're acting retarded.
>>324387263
Well you fucked up your first playthrough by making it way easier than it should have been and you didn't get to explore a variety of gameplay styles while you were at it, too.
>>324387067
I was paranoid that the monocle was worth so much money.
I thought it was some super special item that I needed later on, and would fuck myself over if I sold it.
It's just a stupid fucking monocle.
If I go from fighter to Warrior or mystic knight do my skills stay? I know mystic knight has a shield and sword like fighter but warrior only has heavy shit. I ask because I already maxed out fighter
Being a sorcerer in post game is such a pain in the ass. Literally every fucking big monster keep interrupting spell castin ALL THE TIME. Getting so fucking sick of this, holy shit.
>>324387067
I used the monocle until I got a full outfit that was a bit better. It seemed like it had pretty good stats. Does it not?
>>324387572
No, your skills depend on the vocation. Augments are what you can carry over to any vocation.
>>324387237
Can you not hotkey the equipment? I haven't tried but I assumed it worked. I know you can hotkey the lantern.
>>324387572
You can't use warrior skills for MK but you can use augments, they're all cross class. You can change back to warrior whenever with no hassle, you don't LOSE the skills, you can just not use them for other classes.
is the last boss meant to take this fucking long to kill? Its like Im not even doing any damage. I think I fucked up my build. Im so upset I think I'll just restart
>>324387586
Hire a good tank?
>>324387572
Only augments remain available across all vocations. Weapon skills do as well if there's some crossover between the vocations, but it's not the case with those.
>>324387572
A couple of fighter skills will carry over to mystic knight if you use sword and shield on it, but most of them will be new. Warrior is all new skills.
>>324387427
How exactly do you have trouble with harpies?
Anybody in your party with a bow just shoots them down with one hit
2 hours later I think I made my perfect arisen. Whatya think?
>>324387572
This >>324387734 but fight and mk share some skills
Thought this just got a PC release? Where are all the threads about each individual brick texture and frames per nanosecond?
>>324387697
I don't think so, only the lantern and curatives can I think, probably some throwable things too.
s there anyway to backup your save and start again?
I can't progress in BBI with my character and and i want to try other vocations.
>>324387886
Just switch vocations dude.
How fun is strider compared to fighter? I want to play mage but since people are saying that it's a supporting class I'm not interested anymore.
>>324387263
Congratulations, you played yourself
>>324387427
You are not a ranged class I take it. Learn squashing shit out of the air, or spam GO to your pawns if they don't shoot.
>>324387837
she's okay I guess
>>324387868
dont worry they have been around. just not in this thread yet.
>>324387886
Switching savefile to do that seems counterproductive, but if you really want to, just move DDDA.sav somewhere else.
Where the fuck are my items after activating hard mode?
>>324387508
You swine!
>>324387991
Strider I'd the go-to "Gotta go fast" vocation with tons of tricky moves.
I'd recommend using a rank 3 rusted bow for status infliction with downpour volley.
Look up the gold idol on the wiki and make sure you get it.
How long will Spring Water last me?
I set a portcrystal to the spring near gran soren and bottled like 200 of that shit. Pretty good item.
>>324388090
Inventory.
>>324386864
Don't make your pawn a brown loli fighter or you'll be playing the game with a boner the whole time.
Full bend arrow is good. Fucking get that if you're an archer, and get it early.
>>324387706
>>324387706
Online Ur dragon is pretty much unkillable by yourself.
It has millions of HP.
Your damage gets added to the damage that everyone else playing is doing to him until he eventually dies.
You get loot depending on how much damage you did and whether you were there when the final blows were dealt.
>>324387067
I was thinking about starting as fighter, dipping into mage and then mystic knight.
>>324388014
I don't think you can make anything prettier with the few possibilities. I mean come one show me a pwettier arisen.
>>324387706
Grigori? What vocation are you currently? How many levels did you spend on every vocation you were?
>>324388213
They aren't.
For the love of all that is good, please tell me where I can get some better weapons.
Ii've been running around for 3 Days wit ha level 2 Trusty Sword and it is awful.
>fighting drakes with two pawns with taunts
>they still run over me all the time or use spells that stun me
>same with any type of chimeras or anything that moves fast
Enemies in Everfall aren't hard at all. Just trying to cast bigger spells as sorcerer is just garbage, even when possessing Wyrmking ring. I probably should change into Magic Archer to save myself from asspain.
This pawn is cute but her inclinations are bad. It's hard finding mage pawns with good inclinations like utilitarian/mitigator or utilitarian/medicant
LIstle to your fucking porn s dawg. Runn away it a eminy is too strong.
Sorry but I just went to seen the Revenant alone ant I felt pathitec so I decided to drwon my sorrurws witn bunderburg rum and som socke.
I hate being a loner.
>>324388157
It will definitely make the game trivial. On console, spamming restoration items was a chore because the menus took time to load. On PC, you can even hotkey them. There's no real need to bring a mage anymore when you can just chug spring water indefinitely.
>>324388132
This, and be sure to counterfeit it and keep the copy with you after giving away the REAL one.
>>324388285
http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Alon
>>324388285
holy shit learn how to explore just a LITTLE BIT
there's a shop in the fucking starter town where you can buy new shit. and you can buy shit from the merchant you save on the road to encampment.
Is this the new generation of gamers that has never played a game without giant boxes constantly telling you EVERYTHING?
>>324388285
Advance the story, talk to Caxton in Gran Soren.
>>324386864
>Do you guys have any beginner tips for me?
Yes. Sell it, it's shit.
>>324387837
Pretty cute, not a fan of the hair color though.
>>324386864
Make sure to accept all notice board quests, you'll do most with out even trying. Not to mention a significant amount of those award you with golden weapons upon completion. (Weapons that sell for 50-100k.)
>>324387834
I got unlucky on my first run with the Hydra convoy right outside Grand Soren, it was demoralizing as fuck. The game is great but the frequent difficulty spikes right at the beginning of the game are crazy, especially considering how laid-back the first half-hour or so of the game is (killing goblins, collecting flowers etc.).
I swear the designers did this shit on purpose, I can't believe you can fight those lizard men in the well right at the beginning of the game, it's kind of comical desu.
>>324387957
I levelled up 80 levels of Fighter and Warrior.
Tried all the other strength vocations,didn't like any of them.Want to give magick a shot.
>>324388087
I will give a try,thanks.
>mfw some dumbass Saurian thought it could block my Savage Lash
>>324388426
I've been attempting to explore, asshole.
It's hard to do anything with such shitty weapons slowly chipping away at anything that's not a weak bandit or goblin.
>>324388323
Any tips on fixing inclinations? I have a mage pawn I want to make a supporter with buffs, so having a good inclination would probably help.
>>324388520
you can not have been exploring much if you didn't even find the shop in the starter town.
>>324388323
Don't sperg too much about inclinations. /ddg/ likes to pretend like they're a matter of life and death, but really, it's just nice to have the right ones. Most of the game is easily manageable even with slightly deficient pawns.
>>324388494
>enemy dodges arc of deliverance at the last second
>>324387505
>Made the game easier
>by picking Hard Mode
Yeah, whatever you say, kid.
why are the ugliest, most grotesque pawns the most useful pawns?
>>324388291
You need articularity augment aswell not just the ring.
>>324388285
Are you fucking serious?
There's a God damn shop in the first town you're in, and you help two weapon vendors before and after getting to the next area.
What kind of pawn best compliments a Magick Archer? It's not as fast as I wanted but I really like the playstyle of it.
Been thinking of making a Strider and teaching it shit.
>>324388426
Well at least they're just asking questions for now, albeit dumb ones, and not straight shitting on the game because of their own stupidity or lack of attention.
Where exactly can i get better magic bows? I'm using the one you get from the smith in soren but was wondering if I could get anything better at this point. I just finished the wyrm hunt quests and talked to the duke.
>>324388564
I don't want a guardian mage pawn following me doing nothing
>>324388552
You can go purchase elixirs at the camp where you first get your main pawn.
http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Pawn_Inclination
Will give you an idea of the inclinations.
What the fuck is the deal with how retarded people speak? Do people think people actually used to speak like this?
>>324388481
Listen to your pawns.ATTACK THE LIZARD'S TAIL, ARISEN!
>Do you guys have any beginner tips for me?
Yeah, ask for a refund while you still can.
>>324387163
The eternal ferrystone is a bit over the top.
I understand why they made it in the update since manually traveling after you've had to make tons of trips to Gran Soren can become tedious.
but giving new players a way to fast travel without consequence from basically the beginning can take away from the crazy trips you have early on in the game when you don't know what's around every corner and night fall arrives.
>>324388648
it's just staggering the amount of people who has been asking the exact same question. countless of people failed to find a fucking shop
>>324387991
Sorcerer is the better magic vocation so go with that if you were interested in Mage at all.
I've always found Fighter to be funner because my fights lasted longer and prefect blocking is sex. Strider is probably better if you like to climb and go fast. Helm/Brain Splitter is never not fun also.
>>324388598
>>324388554
Well shit, I must be blind. I never found the shops in the town.
>>324388479
i cant contsuct a coherent sentence. I hate jtyself.
>>324388564
90% of the time Guardian pawns will cause you death.
>>324388490
I recommend you start up a steam family account so you don't lose your character. Anyway, if you don't like strength, go yellow (ranger/strider/assassin), they benefit from the same stat.
Also, magic is WAY harder to level. If you can't deal with BBI on a physical character, wait till you try it as a mage or sorc lol
>>324388581
Every sorcerer has that augment in late game, but not all are aware of making counterfeit out of Wyrmking ring and giving that away.
Even with those spell cast reductions, enemies keep interrupting my shit too often, since all fights in there are in some hall without any cover.
Do not complete the quest in the pawn guild before you rescue Quina.
>>324388572
The huge gold gain and experience boost make it easier if you're not an idiot.
Has anyone tried swapping out the save file a lot? Any issues?
If it works fine then I hope someone makes a save game manager.
>them child bearing hips
Think I found the perfect mage pawn
>"Gran Soren is the biggest and most populated city in Gransys"
>looks like shit
>already getting tired of looking at it every time I need to upgrade skills and equipment
>makes me worried about what the rest of the game has in store
>>324388804
Just remember that wolves hunt in packs and all paths lead to Gran Soren
You're gonna make it anon
hows my pawnu? I did what I could, but the faces of this game all look so adult-like.
Also the clothes are pretty pleb tier, any tips on where to find cute outfits?
>>324388683
>>324388815
I've hired plenty of shitty guardian pawns when I played the game 3 times over on console, and they still do their job, just not as efficiently. It's hilarious how people have gotten it into their heads that guardians will just stand around doing nothing. They certainly do follow you around, but they also cast healing and status clearing spells just fine.
>>324386864
After you meet the duke, Fornival(the fat noble merchant), will have a quest for you. Before accepting make a checkpoint save. Because it's very easy to mess up this quest, after making a checkpoint follow the daughter around town.(do not touch or carry her it will result in failure).
She'll ask you to do a number of tasks like hide and seek, bringing her water, and a race (let her win).
After the race, the quest will turn and say complete. Talk to the daughter and she'll give you a golden idol. A weapon that unlocks weapon and armor store for either madeline or the caxton. (Consult the wiki for who you should give it too.)
If you get anything other than the gold idol from the daughter, then start the checkpoint save over.
>>324388976
Would throw to the brine/10
>>324389008
Yeah and so have I, my experiences with guardian pawns have always been they follow me around doing nothing. They always die for me.
>>324388638
You can always fill out the rest of the party with other pawns, so your main pawn's vocation isn't that important.
That being said, it will learn better if you play a similar vocation to it.
>>324388978
It's just the city you come back after you've gone out adventuring
Oh and the city will change a bit after you beat the gamequite a bit
>>324388875
I like strength but i didn't like the yellow classes,and now i'm having a hard time with the red ones.
Also i'm pretty much being carried by my sorcerer pawn in BBI.
Just started playing this game, only problem is that small movements on screen make it look like the object/screen are shuddering. i5 3570 and GTX770
Should I go out and explore west of Gran Soren or will it fuck up any quests if I stumble onto something?
Last time I was wandering around west of Gran Soren I ran into a fucking red dragon and almost got my shit pushed in and burned off. I had the warrior skill that reduces damage a shitload and he still took like 1/5 of my health bar with one casual swipe of his claws
>>324389086
I just wanted to make a flashy Strider pawn. Would they use Ensare often like I do? Shit is pretty useful for facing enemies that move around a lot.
How'd I do?
>>324388720
>fast travel without consequence
You still have to get there the first time senpai.
Also, the ferrystones were pretty cheap in vanilla. The biggest change is how many portcrystals you get for free.
There's already complaining from newfags about "too much walking", so I think this is for the best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3_tOc8oBnY
>>324389102
THANKS FOR THE SPOILERS ASSHOLE
>>324389145
>Also i'm pretty much being carried by my sorcerer pawn in BBI.
You're going to hate Living Armor.
>>324389217
Go out and explore. It's what the game is all about.
>>324388659
Obtain the gold and silver idols, and turn them into either caxton or Madeleine after your lvl33. There stock will change after 2 days. (Do not gift it, they will ask for one in a quest)
I recommend consulting the wiki page for who you give the gold and silver idol too, for the maxium posssible weapon stock for your vocation.
>>324386864
>Do you guys have any beginner tips for me?
Don't do the hydra head escort quest with Mercedes after beating the short boss fight. Return to starting town and do the quest that involves finding Quina from Witchwood. If you don't you're going to be locked out of few good and plot related side quests.
>Is there something you should focus on at the start?
>Are there any recommended builds?
Just play what class you want. You only start with 3 classes, but unlock 6 more after you reach the main city and can change between them at the inn there. As long as you don't just exclusively play magic classes for 100 levels then switch to physical damage classes or vice versa you can play however you want. Min-maxing only matters if you're going to be grinding the online version of a special optional boss that drops unique holy element weapons, but those are instantly outclassed by regular expansion area gear. Most of your damage and defenses are derived from your gear and equipped augments rather than your character's stats.
>>324389228
I hate red-heads.
My psycho ex was a red head.
>>324388976
She just looks like a fat hooker.
>>324389000
You're just using DLC gear bro. Pleb as fuck.
Obviously, the gear improves once you get to later stages of the game. BBI gear generally looks /fa/ as fuck. Just play the story.
>>324389217
Explore, you can stumble upon hidden quests.
>>324389306
But dude, a fucking DRAGON out of nowhere came around the corner of a rock like "lol what's up"
THE FUCK MAN?
And also a Griffon fucked up a cart, hit me with lightning and flew off like a little bitch. FUCK MONSTERS REMOVE MONSTER
>>324387868
Funny that you say that because the game finally is on a platform that can actually run it my underdeveloped little faggot~kun.
>>324389387
I did the Hydra shit and told Mercedes to wait, then went and did the Witchwood quest. Am I fucked?
>>324387991
Strider is funnest Dex class. Shits funtastically fast and furious.
>>324388775
Go visit the Greatwall Encampment northwest of Gran Soren past the female bandit camp. The best merchant in the game is there. Check him every now and then as you progress the story. He's always ahead of everyone else. It's a long hard trip but worth it.
So hard mode is easier than normal? Thats fucked. I just wanna play a hard game, why they gotta screw it up to the point where normal is more difficult...
Where can I get a decent longbow? I'm using a R3 sharp longbow or whatever it is called. The Hydra bow is only worth the price at R3 it seems but I don't have the materials for it, so that's not really much of an option.
I'm doing the quests right now to get accepted after the tentacle monster.
>>324389576
Nah assassin is. Assassin is strider on steroids.
>>324389525
No. You can even get to the city first and still not fail that quest.
>>324389525
No as long as you did lost and found you're fine
>>324389078
Alright, we have VERY different experiences then. My guardians do act sorta dumb, but they still cast spells and deal damage. They certainly don't just stand still doing NOTHING.
>>324389145
Alright then. I'd still recommend sparing your character, when you find out how limited sorcs are, you'll probably quit the game in frustration instead of remaking your physical character.
>>324389221
Yeah, they learn pretty effectively, but note that lots of strider skills arent available to assassins. You can't teach a strider pawn to use helm splitter for example. (He'll still use it though, just not when you instruct him to.)

How do I make the cyclops in the Everfall stop killing itself? I want to actually pick up its loot.
How do I not be scared of pic related? The noises. The noises.
>>324389585
I think i got to that bandit camp, I saw someone with a question mark above their head, I went to talk to her. Then the whole camp went hostile, what the fuck??
Ogers are fucking bullshit.
Get grabbed once and you're dead, since your pawns are more likely than not slowpokes who don't give a shit.
>>324389734
I did this by testing my new skills in the city and I think some retarded pawn got hit
>reloaded that shit from a checkpoint
>fuck that
>>324389228
Pretty decent, though I'm not convinced of that elf ear hair clipping.
Also, certain people might accuse her of having a manface because you chose one of the more boxy head shapes.
That being said, it doesn't matter. You can change all of that for free in the post-game. If you like her, that's all that matters. (It's your pawn that you have to get people to like.)
Going to try mystic knight now that it shouldn't crash on my PC. Recommended level builds for stats?
>>324389631
Assassin doesn't get Brain Splitter tho. Second most broken move in the game right behind Tenfold Flurry with blast arrows.
What Augments should I use on Mystic Knight? It doesn't feel like shorter cast times and extended buff durations are working.

Why take away a big part of the game?
>>324389762
That PSX button mod is an eyesore; there's two on Nexus(one copied from here)that are closer to console.
>>324389819
1. How the fuck do manage to get grabbed by one
2. How hard is it to just mash buttons for you?
3. Stop being a casual
Is it worth to change class when you reach maximum rank with the one you are using? I want to try them all but I've read that your stats scale depending of the class you are using, so it may not be a good idea.
I have used Strider to lvl 16 or so, then Magic Archer until lvl 33 and I'm Sorcerer now with lvl 38; so maybe I'm fucking my character's stats.
>>324389592
Hard is harder, anon's just being a contrarian little dipshit. The thing is, you get more XP and gold, so according to him, faster progression = "easier".
Prepare your anus though, hard more ups damage by 450%, it's gonna hurt.
Finally, BBI is better for difficulty-wanking. That's available from the start, though recommend you're around level 45 before attempting it.
>>324390069
carry limit is nothing more than a fucking nuisance.

Well too bad.
Name a more based npc
>>324390238
No it isn't
Will you hire my Marina, anon?
so, any news on them fixing the pawn hiring bug?
Don't make a caster if you want to play on hard mode
>>324390064
Some people on steam forums are saying it's working. Seems like it's working for some people now so they are in process of fixing it. Probably get an announcement in a few days about a fix.
>>324389585
COME COME, DON'T BE SHOI

Also Articulacy
>>324390324
what the fuck is that ufo
>>324390324
Well, someone has to throw her into the brine.
>>324390090
In my experience, switching vocations constantly provided me with balance stats and I was good at everything.
>>324390094
>contrarian
The upped damage taken, increased stamina usage, and mobs with more health is awful in term of increased difficulty and is easily offset by being able to farm fucking goblins and weaker creatures for 10k+ a kill.

New to pc gaming?
What happeneds if i take gear from hired pawns from the rift?
>>324389476
I'll have you know I'm pretty well developed. Your dad found that out last night.
>>324389861
Brain Splitter is more damaging than even eleven-fold arrow with blast arrows. It's THAT ridiculous. (at least with the BBI ring)
>>324390026
This is no joke
>>324390069
Casuals, casuals everywhere. They don't realize how much it breaks the game because of instant curatives.
>>324390090
Absolutely, you ought to mix up the classes to get the different augments from each. Stats do scale depending on class, but they have the same total value (except mage)
From what you said, it looks like you're going for a magic character. That's fine. You can also go for a hybrid character, there's no problem. Really, you can level as warrior for 200 levels and then swap and kick ass as a sorcerer, no joke. (Provided you have the right equipment of course.)
>>324390285
It is
>>324390094
>The thing is, you get more XP and gold, so according to him, faster progression = "easier".
It totally is when it makes you way more powerful than you should be. Especially since a couple of augments scale with hard mode. It's harder at first but you always will get out of the hole.
>>324390542
Not for mages and sorcerers
Inclinations for a healslut mage pawn? Medicant's a given, but I'm unsure about the second inclination.
>>324390238
No, it's not. Makes pawns more likely to rely on tactics, use items, and go for elemental weaknesses.
What happens if I give that pawn 20 wakestones?
Is the jester the secret big bad? I saw a video where you can romance the little shit. Why.
>>324390523
That's possible. My dad strip searches suspicious people at the airport. Are you a muslim?
Is there a mod that lowers cast times for sorcerer? Don't care if it makes the game trivial, but I'm falling asleep during combat.
>>324390606
Utilitarian for buffs and debuffs.
>>324389762
What about six skills for warriors

Final Boss and the end of the game, turn itin and you can no longer do anything else but finish the game.

By standing in its way when it randomly starts to grab.
Also I mashed like a maniac and it still didn't help.
Stop being an obnoxious prick.
>>324390707
I fucking love how freely you can climb in this game

Is there a mod that restores Berserk gear yet?

>>324390490
Mobs don't have more health. Anyway, 450% increased damage taken means you'll get one-shot from the start. For many people, that's not what you call "easy". If your special snowflake opinion is that it IS, and that money is THAT hard to come by on normal that you can't even equip yourself, then that's fine. But it is unlikely to be shared by most people.
I'll agree with you that hard mode is shit though, the game already has a scaling problem later in the game. Hard mode just exasperates it. Play BBI earlier if you want difficulty.
>>324389276
It's not too bad, it should be within your expectations that things will change after your grand quest is completed Arisen
>>324390760
Ahh, ok. Thanks anon.
I think I'm ready for NG+ anyway. I missed a bunch of quests and would like to do them.
How do I git gud at blocking?
I swear I'm taking more damage than I should be doing.
>>324390707
The fucking exploration in this game, god damn. Just when I thought I couldn't discover more on this game I end up climbing up somewhere I've never been.
>>324390519
You can't.
>>324390548
You'll outscale content easily on normal mode as well, and you won't have any issues with being one-shot. Hard mode has plenty of issues, that we can all agree on, but this idea that hard mode is actually EASIER is just silly in my opinion.
>>324390042
No, you don't understand. I just tried it again, and I got it frenzied and poisoned. All of a sudden, it bolts behind everyone and off the edge. My pawns were passed out and I was reviving them, and one of them actually got carried off by the ogre when it died. What the fuck?
>>324389217
The journey is the goal dude, exactly these situations is what makes the game such a gem. Sadly there is too much fast travel now. Do yourself a favor and discard the eternal ferrystone.
>>324390941
Practice and master perfect blocking. A perfect block results in no damage, and throws small enemies to the ground.
If your a mystic knight with an enchanted shield. (Natural or from mage), then you also shoot a fire ball.
Has the game been crashing for anyone else when they enter/exit areas sometimes? It's only started happening to me today
>>324391161
I'd just like to add that we weren't even on the edge. We were all in a hallway at the time.
>>324390741
Maximum casual. Just the the augments and the ring, or play another class.
>>324390864
No.
>>324390790
Yeah, me too. Just wish the game world was even bigger. BBI is great, but gets a bit samey, and it would be nice with more of the overworld. We need DD2 desperately.
>>324391184
I'm only asking because the last game I played was Bloodborne and I beat the game by accident because so much shit was optional and I decided to do it later
>>324391184
>discard the eternal ferrystone
That must be the worst piece of advice I've read all day. Stashing it and refraining from using it, okay. But DISCARDING IT? Are you retarded?You can probably just rebuy it from the black cat though
>finally get my pawn hired
>all I get is 0 rift crystals and a rock
T-Thanks..
>>324391287
I think that the pc version selling well increases the chance of a sequel pretty well
>>324391187
I read that the basic vocation that gets a shield (dont' recall the name) gets an ability that makes that window more lenient?
Oh and does my shield only block what's right in front of me?
Do they block wider for Mystic Knights cause' they have bigger shields?
I don't know, I feel that when there are more than 2 or 3 enemies focusing you (and there should be, right? I mean, I'm the tank!) it gets very hard to block damage.
Even more so if you want a perfect block.
>>324390741
Use the augment and the wyrmking's ring. I sure hope you turned in a forgery to complete the quest.
Does the game sells good on PC? First time I pre-ordered.
>>324391184
nobody listen to this fucking faggot, I discarded the eternal ferrystone on accident and it's hell
>>324391521
Trudeau thinks so.

what's up senpai
heard you was looking for a grimoire
>>324391460
I can guarantee you the PC version won't change shit by itself, no publisher judges the viability of a sequel based off of the sales of a late port to an untested platform. Either Capcom just needed a quick buck, or they're already working on relaunching the franchise and this was part of it.
I'm probably halfway through the game and enjoying switching classes and trying everything.
How realistic is maxing every class? Will I have to grind the shit out of respawning enemies if I want to try out everything? Should I just stick to one advanced vocation and max it out until the end of the game?
>>324391491
>I mean, I'm the tank!
You should probably stop thinking like this right away. This is definitely not a game you can think of in MMO-terms.
But yeah, the shield blocks more or less everything, at least if it's a perfect block.
>>324391665
Original+dark arisen+pc release all sold pretty well and there is huge demand for a sequel.
>>324391436
i always gift rotten meat no matter how good the pawn performed
Best starting gear for assassins?
>>324391637
>mfw I had the mettle to take it from them
Truly, no man has suffered such as I ;_;
>>324391491
>I'm the tank
Warriors are much more tanky, what with the HP and Physical Damage reduction augment at Rank 1.
>>324391713
So what is my purpose if not to soak damage?
There is no one with higher defense than me, and I have an ability that nullifies their damage.
And it's not like my actual DPS is anywhere near as good as a DPS class...
>>324387067
>the monocle is worth 300,000 dollarydoos
Man that was awesome, decent gear. Does anyone have any cheesing tips to get bitterblack gear at an early level?
What's a good key setup for the keyboard+mouse?
I'm really finding the two modifier buttons+3 skills awkward. That's 5 buttons, it would only take 1 more button to have one key access to everything.
>>324391491
Prescience is the augment that makes perfect blocks easier.
It only blocks whats in front of you, so early on the augments bastion and fortitude help, as they increase defense.
No idea about the mystic knight's block.
Perfect block should give invincibility frames.
>>324391637NO, THEY HOLD THE ADVANTAGE!
>>324391665
>untested platform
DD:O is on PC and Capcom already has plenty of titles on Steam. That being said, I'm not convinced DD2 is happening either.
>>324391702
It's perfectly viable. I'm not sure how far you actually are, but most people think they're done when they have like half the game left.
There are also ways to grind discipline without gaining that much XP.
>>324391856
It might have been hired, but it's bugged
apparantly my friend got a notice earlier today that I had hire his pawn and a rift crystal reward so I hope that means they are in the process of fixing it
>>324391862
What class are you?
>>324390004
Just switched my pawn to fighter so she's still kinda awkward.
Managed to kill the Ogers thanks to the mage/sorcerer combo anyhow.
How in fucks name am I supposed to destroy the little hanging charms that make the Witchwood foggy? Some of them are easy but others are hanging from the trees I have no way of reaching.
Am I supposed to find a rock and get lucky with a throw?
>forgot to make wyrmking ring forgery
>>324392119
Use a bow, or just wonder through it. Pawns aren't smart enough to shoot it.
>>324391862
Fighter has good DPS, the shield is more so you can stay in risky positions more and inflict stagger with perfect blocks
You might want to switch to mystic knight, as it's perfect blocks directly harm the attacker. it's fucking awesome
>tfw i realized some bosses in BBI can be cheesed using high bolide behind a wall (or in a different room entirely) as a sorcerer
How you you see your pawn inclination?
Do I keep blank scrolls at the beginning or should I sell them?
>>324392119
>bow
>magic
>explosions
I pirated this since I had already bought it twice before. I then used cheat engine to de-restrict skills by vocation and increase game speed to 130% for a turbo mode feel. I also gave myself the eternal ferrystone because I'd already done all that before.
Holy fuck it all opened the game up so much more. Based cheat engine.Just don't do anything truly fucking casual like infinite health or whatever.
It's the beginning of the fight, so the fucking ogre charges through the hallway, rounds the pillar, and falls off. Fuck this shit, if he does it again he can keep his fucking bones. I want to move on.
