Why the fuck does everything take years and years to fucking murder in this game? It's absolutely tedious to try and whack the shit out of something for 15 minutes and do little to no damage.
Dragons Dogma had so much potential.
Buy better equipment, maybe?
>>324173373
It's a fucking RPG. Level up before you fight huge monsters you fucking scrublord.
>>324174353
You dumb fucking nigger, I'm in the beginning of the game killing the first ogre.
>>324174447
Don't even bother. I spent literally 40 minutes killing the faggot with my bow and it only granted me enough EXP for 2 level ups. Just run past the cunt.
>>324174447
>He doesn't know how to lure it over the edge

>I suck thus focus my furstration by creating a thread about it and nobody cares

>>324173373
You should uninstall that game and play KoAR instead.
>>324174447
This game has literally cockblocks to incentive you to try different approach, it is like trying to hit a ground pokemon with electric attacks and wonder why it isn't dying.
>>324175613
That game is not better than DD in any way.
>>324175902
It's better than DD in every way imaginable.
>>324174750
How to drop him in the ground? I wailed on his butt and on his leg for forever.
>>324176102
Actually it's not better than DD in any way.
>>324176102
How so?
>>324173373
>Why the fuck does everything take years and years to fucking murder in this game? It's absolutely tedious to try and whack the shit out of something for 15 minutes and do little to no damage.
You're for a treat if they ever decide to localize DDOnline :^)
Unless you skip way ahead in the game you can kill most big monsters that aren't bosses in like 5 minutes at most
Provided you're not a dumb fuck that just mashes buttons
honestly this game just reminds me of amalur dont get the hype
>>324176253
To me the side quests are actually engaging and makes me want to do them. I don't just skip over the side quests because I'm eager to see what I'm lead to next. I can't say the same about DD really. Doesn't mean I won't play it (I'm playing KoAR and DDDA both right now), but I'm enjoying KoAR exponentially more than DDDA at this moment.
>>324176114
Two easy ways
1) smash the cunt in the head
2) Jump on his back, then jump off when he looks to backwards slam
Dragon's Dogma more like Dragon's Smegma am I right?
>>324176797
>>324175613
>Amalur shitposting
lolwut.
DD is a DnD inspired old fashioned dungeon crawler.
Amalur is like a one player MMO.
You should try something a little more your speed OP, like staring at a wall or banging rocks together. If you're too retarded to 1) Smack it on the eye 2) Smack it while it's on the ground, or 3) make it run over the edge,I'm not sure you should be allowed to post on the internet, much less give your pointless opinion on something you tried for 30 seconds
>go up the hill with the boulder after the encampment
>get literally 1-shot by a single bandit
great game design
>>324177263
>Running around in basic as fuck equipment while level 7.
>Expecting everything to be perfect for you.
It's DaS all over again.
How fun.
>>324176102
no it isnt
Can you enter the well in the starting town? I can see a ladder beneath the lid, but I can't get down there.
>>324176880
You're in no place to judge both games if you haven't even finished them. KoA has really bad combat when compared to DD and the world manages to be even emptier, while DD has some really unique areas, KoA has no such thing. Plus KoA is really generic fantasy, DD seems like the same at first glance but it actually represents classic folklore monsters like few games do.
>pc player
>>324177467
Yes , that well will be open soon , just keep playing.
Do I seriously have to replace my pawns every fucking time I level up? Why can't they level up alongside me?
>escort yo boi the merchant from town to outpost
>3 chimeras
>2 trolls
>2 skelly death knight thing
>>324177420
I bought the best gear I could find.
Sorry, but it's really shitty design if you have to jump around like a retard playing bullet hell just to avoid getting 1-shot by a regular enemy that also guard breaks shields in a single hit.
People suck this game's dick too much.
this game is pretty sick so far im glad i listened to the praise
its a little funny too with all the mocap
>>324177740
>Waaaah I walked into an area I get my ass kicked at
>BAD GAME MECHANICS
You literally have tons of choices of where to go, and you fuck up and pick the stupid option.
Approximately how many stories involving cyclops have ended with the hero killing it with a blow to the eye? Jesus Christ people, this is fantasy 101 here
>Should I attack the cyclops' single, vulnerable eye? Nah, let's hack at these fat legs until it keels over
>A cockatrice? Pfft, what a stupid looking creature! What's this smoke going to do, give me lung cancer? Hah
>A wolf? Well, it's just one, so I should be able to handle it easily
>>324177740
>Bought the best gear at level 10 because 120k gold lel, go to the boulder with the bandits behind it, take 180 damage from a hit on hardmode.
Yeah nah, you're a scrub.
>>324177609
Only your main pawn does. you don't need to replace them every single level. They'll still be useful for at least 5 levels. Or you can just purchase pawns 2-3 levels above your then you can get 10 or so levels with them.
>>324177975
That's what you get when we have Skyrim,DA, and the like raising the masses on casual shit.
>>324174581
>run past a story enemy that you have to kill to get a pawn
>>324173373
You fucking suck at this game.
>>324177740
I've beat the game already (pirate), unless you're playing hard mode, you should never get one hit by anything. You're in the wrong god damn area. This is why casual ass games that scale sell well. Fuck this board.
I am playing on Hard and that ogre had like 1/4th of his last bar when the fight started. The hydra fight ended abruptly after also about 1/4th of a bar was gone. These fights took one or two minutes. Is my game broken or are you people complete shitters?
>>324178173
He said ogre, not cyclops. There's a difference.
>>324178249
Those are scripted fights.
>>324178173
Nigga, that cyclops takes like 4 minutes max. It's a fucking tutorial.
>>324178292
Ogres at first seem more daunting, they move faster and they deal alot of damage
But they are super predictable and prone to falling over.
I couldn't get past those boulder bandits trying to get to Quina so I figured I needed to go to the main city first. I got there and went to the pawn guild/got some new armor and I ran the everfall. Suddenly I find out I lost the quest to help Quina which was complete bullshit because the game keeps saying 'if you find yourself stuck on a quest do another one it might help' every time there's a loading screen. Yet they didn't mention doing quests locks you OUT of other quests...
>>324177921
>>324177992
>>324178218
I was following the quest where I have to rescue that irrelevant whore you meet in the fishing village, and my pawn told me to "check out whats down that path", and so I did.
There's literally no excuse for an enemy 1-hit killing you so early in the game. There was absolutely zero build up in difficulty, it's like I transitioned from starting area to end game just from walking up a hill.
You DD fags are petty as fuck, I really can't understand how you can defend such a shitty design choice. Refunding this dog shit game.
>>324173373
>he doesn't know about the ballista
Ballista kills those guys in 30 hits I had three down in 15 minutes.
>>324178568
>leave an NPC behind
>WOOOOW WHY DID I LOSE MY QUEST
More games need to do away with Bethesda's damage.
>>324178686
I completely agree DD is so boring I thought the combat would be good but it's basically mash square and jump every once in awhile.
>>324178686
>>324178568
The Bandits shouldn't be one hitting you, and here is a hint.
You can avoid them easily. The forest is an area with lower difficulty enemies than the bandits and provides you with good early game loot
The reason why those bandits are so hard is because they're a deterrent
Congratulations, you actually failed at being an Arisen. That is literally a plotpoint you proved.
>>324177643
>not using the eternal ferrystone+portcrystals
baka desu senpai
>>324178883
What class are you playing?
>>324177643
I rather use ferrystones for the escortquests but those stories you get out of it are always golden.
>>324173373
>Dragons Dogma had so much potential.
You don't even know..
Guess why open world travel is shit? The game was designed so originally you would grip giant snakes and flying creatures to get around the world, learning migrations of these giant things to know where you were going.
The storyline used to have like 5 more choices than what we got in the end. You were supposed to go to the moon and fight new creatures there too.
>>324178686
>DD gets PC release
>casual fags that don't understand how to play rpgs suddenly bitching everywhere
>shitposting increases
Like pottery
Enjoy mashing square all game and once in awhile jumping on a large enemy then mashing square. Game plays so fucking boring and there isn't even a good story to keep me interested.
>>324179004
Strider and I made sure I got the best equips I could from the encampment, I guess I should just run past them...
>>324173373
this isn't souls, enemy elemental weaknesses actually matter
>>324178686
>lost to the bandits
people do this shit?
im over at bittlerblack using rook, my pawn and me at level fucking 3 destroying goblins and wolves for some delicious exp and even i dont get one shotted.
Majority of the enemies at the start of the game you just have to run past.
Don't even bother trying to fight the literal cohort of bandits that are in your way to the witchwood.
10/10 game design.
It's a fun game but is let down in so many places.
>>324179086
>we could have finally got a Beksiński game
>>324173373
It's going to be fun when shitters like you encounter the first Eliminator
>Go to BBI at level 40
>see cyclopes with flaming club
>use Lyncean Sight and three shot it in the eye
>Try to do the same with a gransys one
>Doesn't take off more than 10% health
>>324178807
I'm not that anon, but are you autistic or something? There is no indication that the quest can't be done after going to the city, people would go to the city first because the bandits are retardedly hard.
>>324179086
I heard a lot of the cuts was because of the engine. I believe it, because of how bad it ran PS3 and Xbox 360.
>>324179113
>Play Warrior
>Literally 90% of the combat IS mashing Attack and jump
>Because of the weight of the attacks, still the most satifsying swordplay in forever.
>>324179216
>Encampment
There is your problem. DD doesn't enjoy this idea of "Branching paths in the same direction"
The Bandits you're trying to fight are supposed to be tough enemies for a level 14-15 person in decent armor going for another quest focused around the castle the bandits have holed up in.
Running around them is easily the best choice, this isn't Skyrim, sometimes discretion is the greater part of valor friend, running away and living is better than dying.
>>324179086
I really hope we get an actual sequel. I want the scrapped ideas put into that one. with fist weapons too.
>>324178807
The game LITERALLY tells you if you're struggling with a quest to do another one and come back to it. I did two other quests and suddenly I can't go back to it? I hate it when games have pointless lock outs.
>>324179307
>Heroes of Might and magic invades Gransys
I feel like 90% of the DD shitposting on /v/ is because everyone here just fucking sucks at the game
>>324177975
Go back to the rift, pawn!
Possible to go without a pawn and not get rekt instantly? The lizards sound like a huge hassle at least but other things seem plausible.
>>324179113
>I only played warrior class
Wow, how does it feel to be retarded?
>>324179525
it also tells you that doing the main quest will lock out other quests.
>>324179564
Pretty much. Its a game that doesn't hold your hand and lets you make mistakes.
>people saying you have to run away from the bandits at the beginning
>people getting fucked by bandits at the beginning
how? fucking how? you can literally solo these assholes before level 10. how shit do you guys have to be? are you even paying attention to whats happening?
>Dragons Dogma had so much potential.
Why are PC gamers this delusional? When you buy a GPU do you literally have to turn into a babbling idiot??
>>324179564
That's pretty much what it is.
People go in expecting typical modern RPG and then get pooped on.
>>324179564
OR maybe the gameplay is super boring and the world is incredibly plain with recoloured enemies and it's not the masterpiece shills like you pretend it is.
That was my main gripe with the game
Doesn't even matter if you're on easy mode
Everything in the game is a health sponge and it's fucking tiresome
Hard mode wasn't even hard it was just boring, it's not very fun dodging the same attack animations for 20 minutes
>>324179564
I can understand some people's concerns about overworld content since they haven't seen BBI or everfall yet, but OP and everyone complaining about "hp sponges" must have downs.
This isn't even a hard game folks.
>>324178901
I crept past the bandits and finished the quest in the forest . What loot are you talking about? The only enemies in the forest were wolves amd spiders and aside from spider venom I didn't get shit.
Srill walking around in starting cloth gear and some slightly less shitty daggers I bought from a blonde bimbo, who by the way had bigger tits than the ones available in character generation.
>playing the end-game dungeons on the PS3 release
>character is a tiny old man support wizard with very few attacks
>have to find a beholder alone
>literally an intense, 50 minute fight
>extremely hard
I won in the end. Probably the most satisfied I've felt in a video game.
>>324173373
I really just want a spiritual successor to this game.
Similar, refined gameplay with a better story and world around it.
>>324179759
This, people act like this is some saviour for the rpg genre but it's basically a hack and slash walking simulator with a boring world and shitty gameplay.
>>324179843
yeah i can tell you didn't explore shit. if you around the edges of the witchwood you'll find a good number of chests. hell there's even one below the stairs to selene's treehouse.
>>324179785
Every game has so much potential during concept and early production stage. You're a literal retard if you believe it's realistic potential. Actual faggots with no idea how software development works.
>kill monsters in seconds with high brontide
>get dominated by simple bandits because I can't cast shit
then again, I probably shouldn't play with just one retarded pawn.
I don't remember dying and crying about it so much when I first played the game.Maybe only when I faced Matt Daimon.
Are people, on the videogame board nonetheless, really so bad at videogames?
>>324179759
No it fucking isn't, every enemy in the game has a certain weakness, being it a body part or just elemental/physical weakness. Literally kill yourself for shitposting this hard.
>>324180029
There's a difference between irrational scope and content cuts due to limitations.
These limitations just happened to be because of consoles.
And it's even evident as DD runs like absolute shit on consoles.
>>324180125
/v/ doesn't play vidja, remember? It's an actual rare occurrence.
>>324173373
Get better pawns, they don't level up with you like your main pawn does.
Get better gear. You're kinda limited here since gear is kept behind main story quest progression. Though there are drops that can be more powerful.
Get better skills, see the inkeep and spend that discipline.
Enhance your gear, all that random crap you pick up from defeated foes? Stick it in storage and use it to get as much gear to 3 stars as you can. This greatly improves their stats and makes them lighter, weapons being the priority.
Exploit weaknesses, every monster has it's own vulnerabilities. Cyclops for example are pretty vulnerable to electric damage, hitting their legs can topple them and their eyes are a weak spot with almost no defence.
Ogres are covered in flammable fur and are susceptible to poison, their face is a weakspot and when they are on their back they have little defence.
Just fight smart. You sit a mile back plinking away with normal arrow shots and no shit it's gonna take forever.
>>324180125
This is literally a shitposting containment board at this point so yeah, I'd imagine people here are pretty bad at video games
DAILY REMINDER TO FIX YOUR PAWNS INCLINATIONS THE VERY SECOND YOU HAVE THE RIFT CRYSTALS TO DO SO. IT WILL INCREASE THEIR EFFICIENCY TENFOLD. IF YOU PAWN IS GUARDIAN/MEDICANT, FIX THAT SHIT. IT LEADS TO A GARBAGE TIER RENTAL.
>>324180125
No, people with actual taste just can't stand shitty game design.
How do kill the mini-grigoris that are scattered around? They have so much health and the only weakpoint is right in front of them
>>324180006
Well I couldn't see shit because it was so dark. Also the thick fog and twisting tunnels made it look like one of those "stray too far off course and you go back to the beginning" type mazes.
>>324179843
Well, the cave you directly use to get out of Witchwood contains a greatsword.
But I can see you're going to be fucked in DD with this zero initative.
Shit, I bet you haven't even got the fire sword.
>>324180295
What's the best inclination for fighters?
>>324179564
It's not even a question, shitloads of the complaints are from people who have blatantly never played a RPG without level scaling before.
This is the "PC master race" on /v/, folks, Skyrimbabies.
>>324180094
get pawns that will protect you or either go out to attack the enemies while you stay back and get ready to cast. also if you get the shit knocked out of you, then use one or two ogre bones, to stay standing. also if you get pawns with utilitarian and the same spells as you, you can multicast spells to get them out way faster than solo and with more power.
>pawn rental is bugged no riftshards for anyone
Why even play?
>>324180125
This happens literally every time a console exclusive comes out on PC
Happened with Dark Souls too
I'm sure if Red Dead ever came out on PC there'd be dozens of threads like "WTF I CAN'T WRANGLE THE COWS BRO THE FUCK STUPID CONSOLE SHIT"
>>324180390
Scather I think, the one that favours up close combat with larger enemies.
>>324180385
at the entrance of the map during the quina quest they show this glowing little circle thing that you can attack. quina even says something about you destroying them. if you get rid of them, the fog starts dissapearing from the areas they were in. eventually you can remove them all from the map clearing any and all fog.
>can take down huge ogre with rusted sword
>bandit 1-shots me
...Okay, glad i only pirated this.
>>324173373
>Actually difficult game comes out
>Everyone gets destroyed on PC
errytiem
What's up with this Quina quest? Does it have a time limit before it becomes unavailable or does it stop being available after you do a certain quest or what? Because I'm talking to Adaro here and he's not giving me a quest.
How does the scaling work for party size. My party bugged out and alone i could easily killed enemies with a couple of hit that took me way more before.
Should i bother with the fourth party member i do not really need or should i just go with a three man party?
>>324180632
Nah, Red Dead would be more straightforward and fun overall. Things like that would be endorsed and actually talked about, not shitposted.
>>324180632
PC gaming is a cancer.
>>324180346
Drakes?
Tis weak to ice.
Hit the wings, then hit the chest.
Good luck fighting him under level 40 though, he's harder than the griffon by far.
>>324173373
Climb on his back and attack his head/neck area. Drop down, recover your stamina, then do it again. If you have ranged or magic, attack his eye.
Literally every monster in the game has weaknesses you can exploit to kill them swiftly. If you just spam attacks at their shins like a fucking moron, of course it's going to take forever to kill them.
You being pants-on-head retarded doesn't make the game bad.
>>324180346
The drakes,wyrms Abd wyverns are my favorite enemies in the base game, each one represents a base starting class because they were all human in the past.
Now to killing the Drake on devilfire Grove. If you are a ranges class shoot at his heart while he is in the air preparing to breathe fire, if you ate rolling melee pop some demon periapts qnd hammer his heart until it breaks.
Also, he's pretty much a midboss tiver enemy, dont sweat if youre having a hard time
Something like Scather/Challenger wouldn't be bad if you want an aggressive pawn.
>>324180702
Oh my god I think I know what you're referring to. I tried interacting with it with E and nothing happened so I moved on. Quina didn't say shit about it btw
>>324180750
The Quina quest closes as soon as you finish the caravan I think.
>>324180705
>Swords are somehow defence
>tfw went into the cave near Gran Soren and got the quest to open the gate and clear the monsters
>tfw I have to beat 3 giants
Jesus they're kicking my ass
>>324180705
That one bandit type with shield is annoying as fuck, and my dumb fighter pawn can't even shield bash him.
>>324180750
in a matter of speaking yes. if you go forward with the story too far the quest is failed and removed from your quests. this can have negative effects on future quests for you.
>>324180297
> Shitty game design.
Well, every enemy has a weakness, and if I found an enemy too hard, I'd try to debilitate it first. The game provides you with a lot of items that inflict status effects, and unlike traditional turn-based rpg's you're free to move around and evade attacks.
As I said, I only thought that Daimon was kinda bullshit with him roundhousekicking my face and sending my pawns into oblivion, but then again I was playing a warrior against him and I was kinda fucked. So it was all a matter of gitting gud and exploiting his weaknesses.
In resume, if you suck less, maybe you'll enjoy it more.
>>324180293
Nah, the other's Dragon Dogma thread is also wrecked by "game's too hard." Hell, one anon ragequit at the very first chimera and then called the game bad.
Shit's almost hilarious if not depressing.
>>324177263
fucking how. i saw the boulder coming a mile away, i ran back down a little and waited for it to slam into something.
you are not shit at the game are you anon?
>>324180475
Your friends pawns appear first in the rift, you dont need to pay for them, search for other pawns and you pay.
>>324180390
scather aka fuck ogres
challenger aka fuck mages
mitigator aka fuck the weakilings
>>324180948
Enemies can hurt each other anon.
>>324180948
get a mage/sorcerer with lightning skills
shit's easy as hell
>>324180931
>>324180954
>The Quina quest closes as soon as you finish the caravan I think.
Jesus fucking Christ that's dumb. I really, really don't want to start a new game for this shit but I know for a fact that that will frustrate the shit out of me for the rest of my playthrough. An off-hand comment by an NPC that doesn't even give you the quest is not a good indicator that you need to go all the way back to the starting village in order to pick up the quest.
I didn't actually think the quality of a DD thread could reach these levels of garbage. They were actually right when they said these threads would turn to shit when PC got the game.
I'm just now trying to lay siege to the capture castle full of goblins and cyclops, fuck my life.
Fuck, my fucking life.
FUCKITYFUCKFUCK. This shit is FUCKED.
Managed to get the door open, managed to survive long enough to get told to chase down the goblin chief, only to meet yet another cyclops that pushed both my pawns off the castle wall to their death.
Like any good Arisen, I chased down after them to my own death as well.
Really sucks, I hate fleeing, I hate running like a bitch.
I want to kill these assholes but its nearly impossible between everything going on and having babysit the pawns.
Am I just going to randomly fail this quest as well if I just keep fleeing till I meet up with the chief?
If you're all seriously this fucking bad, go back to Cassardis and buy some throwblasts/dragon's spit. That shit will wreck pretty much anything you're having issues with. If you want, friend someone who is actually good and rent their pawn for free.
>>324181160
wait till ng+
>>324180951
I know, what am i supposed to do? You can explore the world, but only go this narrow path or be killed. Great game design.
>>324180770
The only thing that changes is exp, with less people you get more. Damage is the same
>>324180879
odd. well when in doubt, attack it. lol
>>324181172
>thread is literally perfectly fine
>console faggots entering the thread
>WOAH THESE THREADS ARE SO SHIT GUYS LMAO WHERES THE LOLIS
Fuck off you garbage shit poster.
Kill yourself.
No one forces you to be here.
>>324181210
That would take even longer than just starting a new game.
>>324181160
It's not an extremely demanding quest, but it's a good indicator of how Dragon's Dogma does things.
If you want to enjoy everything in this game, explore and talk to people and take every hint possible.
THE TAIL IS SEVERED!
>>324173373
Don't ever touch Monster Hunter.
>>324181172
Yup. I guessed it too.
I figured the game would be too difficult and lo' and behold. Now I'm wondering just how bad a reception Monster Hunter would get on PC if it was ever slated for western release.
>>324174581
>why does my secondary weapon do less damage than my primary weapon
>why dont arrows go through thick ogre skin
Climbing enemies is one of the selling points of the game, its gonna make you do it.
>>324181239
What level are you by the way?
I assume you weren't in Gran Soren yet.
>>324181316
But the hint in no way even implies that you need to go back to Cassadia. The hint is "She's in the forest, I hope she's okay" or something like that. I figured I could just head into the forest and find her, not "go back where you came from and talk to the old man there and THEN you can look in the forest".
>>324181321
THEY HOLD THE ADVANTAGE!
>>324181160
there's a lot more side-quests that close off if you dont do them, that you might never notice or knew existed.
Is mage/archer class good?
>>324181304
Ignore the console nigger. It's just retarded confirmation bias. A couple guys shitpost like they do in any other thread but retarded console niggers like this guy >>324181172 pick on a couple posts to confirm their notion that a game on PC gets bad discussion.
>>324175739
>it's okay when the witcher does it
>>324181481
It kinda is, at least in TW3 you don't fail a quest for fucking off for 3 hours to play gwent.
I failed the Lost and Found quest, how bad did I fuck up?
>>324181441
Actually the quest says "Where the fuck is Quina, does her old man know maybe?"
So yes, it actually does tell you.
Also it gives you a fucking indicator on the map man.
It gives you a fucking quest marker.
I can't wait to see the whining when people try to do A Fortress Besieged.
Two Cyclops, a shitload of goblins and three ballista shooting exploding bolts at you.Also they don't work with m+KB controlsthen another fight with an armoured Cyclops on top of some ramparts where it's very easy to get punted off to your doom.

I had 2 pawns telling me to go back to town at that point.
>>324181307
not really. a prepared person can effectively finish the game in under 2 hours.
>>324180705
>beats scripted wounded cyclops fight with tons of helping npcs
>dies to first real enemy
Uninstall life.
>>324181580
>It gives you a quest marker before you pick up the quest
Why would you bother lying?
>>324181604
just did that fucking quest, the two cyclopes would be fine by themselves but those god damned balistae kept killing my pawns till I hugged the far wall like a bitch
also I just knocked that armored one off the ledge
>>324181635
>Tfw killing the chained goreclops at level 40 hard mode because you can pawn sync maelstroms on it
WHAT A GAFFE
>>324181696
Do I seem like a prepared person?
>>324181476
>pick on a couple posts
Have you not been following the threads? Because holy shit it's FAR more than just a "couple of posts." It's enough to where I doubt DD is going to be able to be discussed without it being shitposted into the dirt.
>>324181635
>No sound difference as it diminishes
The small things.
>>324181604
I just got done doing this, shot the first cyclops to death with the ballista after shooting the other 2 ballistae, then the goblins open the gate so you can just run past the other 2 cyclops and kill the chieftan
all my pawns died though
>>324181474
Do you like setting yourself on fire and jumping on monsters to hug them?
>>324181635
If you get the ring and use Articulacy, yeah. Otherwise the casting times are way too long.
>>324181604
>Cyclops on top of some ramparts where it's very easy to get punted off to your doom.
Seriously just had this happen to me. Well, to my pawns at least. It's really not that bad if you just keep moving, but christ the pawns are dumb as a rock.
>>324181737
Pretty sure it uses a quest marker for going to talk back at the old man.
A yellow one.
>>324181696
Hell, a super prepared one could probably hit 2 mins
>First hour spent grinding BB isle for loot and EXP
>Unlock door to get OP fire bow
>Spend all the gold on blast arrows
>Finish quests in seconds, blow up the griffon before it flies away to save 45mins off the game time.
>>324181847
you can do it around 3-4 hours without preparation.
Do not forget to bully pawns
>>324180295
Fucking this.
>spent ages in rift finding good pawns with shit inclinations
>acquisitor/guardian
>nexus/NOTHING
The hidden systems in this game are kinda shit though.
I gave so many gifts to the qt blonde shop keeper and that emo bog witch was still picked
plus i cant for the life of me get that delicious brown knight to stay
>>324180857
> each one represents a base starting class because they were all human in the past.
And I love how they all have different personalities that can be seen from the little dialogue they have.
The drake is proud and mighty, Wyvern is arrogant and dickish and the Wyrm is Wise and Calm.
Seriously though, shitposting aside what is the weak point for the sword and shield guys? Pawns don't say anythng useful and there has to be a way to kill them besides death by a quintillion cuts.
>>324182039
b-but anon, it doesn't do anything.. we get no items, no feed back, no nothing, it's broke as fucking hell and Capcom already has their money. They won't ever fix that shit.
>>324182040
what are the best inclinations? I have mine set to max aquisitor and aggressiveness, he picks up everything he finds and beats the shit out of things
>>324180295
Is scather/utilitarian good provided I feed them blast arrows and dragonspit?
>>324182039
meanie
>>324173373
Why do people dislike long battles? In any case, we should hate fights that end in 2-3 minutes do to how stupidly weak enemies are. I would understand if hitting in this game had no weight behind it, but you gotta love how a strong attack makes everything tremble and sends enemies flying.
>>324182169
Bullshit, your pawn just didn't get rented.
>>324182159
They're overlevelled for your level more than likely, not to mention that they're tanky fucks to begin with.
>>324181737
Did you try, you know, setting it as your target quest? It will show you markers for the quest you are actually tracking. Go into the quest/mission section of the menu and see.
Git gud son
>>324182218
Because games need to respect our free time
>>324181982
you forgot1.penalty for using weapon's with very high stats destroy your stamina
2.you have to do the caravan quest which takes a few minutes to complete
3.you have to walk and talk with the king. takes about a minute or so.
>>324176114
Throw a woman off the cliff.
I'm serious.
>>324173373
Every enemy type has their own rules and weaknesses. Listen to your pawns they give hints on what those are.
The first quests and enemies are kinda challenging. The ogre in the Everfall was really meant to die by baiting it to fall.
The bandits before Witchwood, better to just to just run past.
>>324182304
It's true though.
>>324182323
It wasn't in the quest log. That was my initial complaint. The quest isn't actually triggered until you talk to Adaro.
>>324182218
pressing X and Y repeatedly (occasionally in combination with a couple of other buttons) for longer than a minute isn't engaging combat
Is everyone in this thread playing on hard mode or what? I'm playing through on normal with mystic knight, 2 mage and 1 ranger pawn and I breeze through almost every fight. Does the game get harder or did I fuck up by not going hard mode?
>>324177263
that was probably your fault, but this game design is absolutely awful.
i've played several games (risen for example) where enemy level scalling didn't hand hold the player and therefore you could sometimes face thougher enemies - but you would know before fighting them because a.) they would be in a high level place where the enemies would get tougher at every single fight OR b.) their height/armor/aesthetics in general would imply they were strong - none of those exists in this game: you can be fighting enemies weaker than you, then after a wrong turn you might be fighting satan himself.
but it's a weeb game published by capcom so you this type of problems were pretty much impossible not to exist.
>>324182175
aquisitor is absolute shit. DELETE IT
to have your pawn pick up shit, you dont need aquisitor.
>>324182312
Why are the bandits surrounding him sobweak then? By the time I have the firepower to kill him in a reasonable amount of time, his henchmen will be like mosquitos to me.
>>324180750
I failed it after reaching Gran Soren not knowing it would close that soon. Kind of bullshit considering when I went and tried to complete it earlier the later packs of bandits on that road were unexpectedly too hard and killed my whole party. I assumed the sudden difficulty spike meant I wasn't supposed to be there yet so I turned around. I'm going to just restart from the beginning I guess.
>>324174447
I killed him in like a minute, literally git gud.
>>324182175

Basically never:

>Guardian
>Acquisitor
Read up and enjoy your useful pawns.
>>324182361
1. Nigga I will carry no less than half of Granysys full of tonics and meat, fuck your stamina loss.
2. punch the cow in the dick, it moves faster
3. Nigga ain't that slow.
All of that time and more is saved simply preppring to one hit the griffin.
Blue tower is literally a 5th of the game at least.
>>324178686
>Game reminds you that THERE'S NO SHAME IN RUNNING every other loading screen
>You still don't understand that sometimes you just have to run
Around level 15-20 those bandit chiefs become a lot easier but they can still combo your shit
Just git gud.
>>324177263
>Be shit at the game.
>Blame it instead of your own scrubiness.
>>324182472
when did you switch to mystic knight?
I was leveling a strider to ~23 and then sorcerer for a few levels.
Can I go MK now?
>>324173373
What's your current vocation?
>>324177609
Stop looking at their level and look at their skills and equipment. I've found pawns at level 15 that were way more useful than pawns at level 20.
>>324182472
Hard mode can be a little bit too hard/unfair at level 1.
And if you switch to hard now you'll restart the story but with all of your levels.
>>324182472
Go Hard Mode for that double XP and 10K gold drops fucking everywhere. You'll manage.
>>324180718
He never once said it was difficult.
This game gets a large boost in fun when you always kill by tossing over the edge whenever possible. Sure you lose some materials, but damn it's satisfying to see a wolf fall down a cliff and crack it's head on a rock only to slide down it and have the brine take it away
>>324182509
Bandits actually follow the rules for armor than your character does.
Also if he's the dude in the camp, he's also one of the two bandit chiefs.
>>324182636
Literally does not matter, stop getting hung up on stat gains it means fuck all.
>>324182670
weird boner right about now
>>324173373
it's a shit game senpai, just move on. i'm glad that it bombed tbqh.
>>324181572
uh what? you definitely fail some W3 quests if you do them fast enough.
>>324182458
So basically every single boss battle in existence.
>>324177423
It's beautiful. The tears are real.
>climbing path to female thieves den
>see Cyclops in distance
>dark as fuck
>it suicides off the cliff
>free 12500XP
fucking kek
>v told you warrior isn't fun
>warrior is really fucking fun
>>324173373
The only bullshit enemy I found in two playthroughs is the Magick Archer that cockblocks your way near the winding canyons.
What the fuck does the title mean anyway?Does it refer to Grigori explaining the reason he became a dragon and why he ate the Arisen's heart? I beat it on PS3.
>>324179564
git gud xD
>>324182636
If you want to minmax MK is best as fighter to 10, Assassin/warrior to 40, Sorcerer to 100.
But the stat gains by levels are tiny compared to stat gains through armor and weapons.
>>324181046
I thin he means the actual bandit on the hill. The sword and shield ones hit like trucks.
>>324182458
It also isn't the way to fight ogres.
>>324182859
You might find it beautiful.
I just find it depressing.
>>324182929
xD LMAO
(my sides are currently orbiting the earth at 2,500 m/s)
>>324182458
Go play Street Fighter then, while you figure out a non-turn based RPG that does not do this.
>>324182135
I really hope this game gets a sequel with the original ideas, i already fucking love this game as it is
>>324181327
You see how no one's replying to you but me? How does that make you feel?
>>324182892
>Face Ogre in underground pass
>He just jumps off the stone bridge to his death.
Monsters are prone to depression.
>>324182039
The pawn system is the entire game! WHY DIDN'T THESE FUCKS TEST IT FIRST!
>>324173373
I remember that I sucked at the game at first when I played it but once you get your hands on some decent skills and wrap your head around the combat system it's really hard to die unless you go in over your head. I can go as far as to say this game is completely doable without Pawns, especially as an Assasin.
Also obligatory:
>WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS
>>324182896
I just wish warrior had 6 move slots
Literally no reason he shouldn't
>>324183027
how far is that in miles?
>>324173373
are two handed warriors limited to only having 3 special abilities? or is their a way to allow secondary abilities and primary abilities for the two hander?
>>324182914
The dragon's dogma refers to the cycle. You can hear them sing about it in the lyrics to the main menu song.
>>324183052
Horny. Can we fuck?
>>324182692
Is that really how hard mode works? That doesn't soundfuneither. I guess I'll just keep on playing on normal cause I really don't feel like reseting 9 hours of playing. Also I got a sweet ass mace from a dungeon I don't want to lose.
>12 hours into the game
>want to restart entirely
Is it possible to switch out my save and store it somewhere safely if I change my mind?
>>324183052
He's right though.
DD never had this reaction before.
>>324177423
>It's DaS all over again.
Do you mean the game difficulty or people's reaction?
You niggers know you can latch on to enemies right?
>all these scrubs who will drop the game and never know the joy of immolation + latching onto a griffin and thousand kissing it to death with daggers
>they will never fight death in BBI
wew lads
>>324173373
Ya I don't understand some of the damage sponge as well OP. Going this my first playthrough on hard as sword n board and everything soaks damage while one shot'ing me if I don't block mid attack. I recently switched to sorcerer and now I poop all over everything so i'm guessing it's just a balance issue.
how do I got gud with archer??? The fucking war pawn and sorcerer is doing way more damage than me. Is archer a bad dps?
>>324183148
5,592 MPH.
I already started all over again after reaching capital, because I saw some guide about missable quests and realized, how much I skipped by simply playing blind.
Now that I have missable content list opened all the time and once again delivered hydra head, can I finally go on some exploration around? Or there is really no point? Im level 13 right now, still as Fighter, with only 5k in pocket.
Also, if I want my main pawn, to cast some healing spell from time to time, do I really need to keep her in mage class forever?
>>324182896
all i do is stab people all day
that move is so OP versus single targets
>>324183198
Generally, issues with Hard Mode are that you'll have your ass kicked early game if you're still a low level, but will more quickly outpace enemies than in Normal. You're fine either way.
>>324183212
>want to restart entirely
Literally no reason, you will start a NG+ at the end and make a new arisen + pawn anyway.
>>324180125
When MGR came out on PC there was a ton of people complaining about not being able to cut the metal gear chunks Armstrong threw at you. PC only gamers are so stupid they can't even align a line across three squares in slow motion.
>>324177975
>A wolf? Well, it's just one
