The Fool is the Dragonforged pawn.

no way, the fool looks EXACTLY like the Dragonforged, only younger. That's him in his younger dragon-fighting days
>>
>>147094868
>>147094604

We can see the Dragonforged for the exact same reason we can see Olra.
We can see "shadows" of ancient Arisens. In the case of the Dragonforged, it seems he only reveals himself to promising Arisen to guide them.

>>147095005
You can make anyone a pawn.
The Dragonforge only trusted his own strenght, never other people. So him making his pawn a reflect of himself is logical.

I don't think so. I think they just bit off more than they could chew. The post-dragon stuff is just as janky and weird as the rest of the game.

>q and then e and then e again to use a skill
you don't though, you press q or alt to switch to bow mode and then m2 to aim and m1 to fire while aiming or hold down alt and press m1, m2 or e to ready/use a bow skill

it's no more intuitive with a controller really, nor for melee

You wanna fire regular shots you have to press q then hold a mouse button and press another mouse button to fire. You wanna use a skill like full bend bound to e you have to hold alt then press e and hit e when it's done charging. Then you gotta hit q to close the bow mode of you wanna do a heavy attack.

Yeah Death wasn't having any of my shenanigans. He killed Mylo the first time, so I went back into the rift and rehired him to give him the five stars, then I grabbed him again only for him to receive Death v2.

If it makes it up to you, I made sure Death died for his transgressions against the pawns.

you can't imagine my dissapointment when I discovered that your image wasn't from porn.

So what's general opinion on having an arisen/pawn with balanced attack/magic stats? I like all the vocations too much to just main one, and I typically pick complementary vocations for my pawn. I've completed the game through Daimon 2.0 with virtually no build planning or min-maxing before, and am going for a planned "balanced" glass cannon build this time. I guess ot doesn't matter too much for my Arisen, since she'll have better stats overall than my first one and I did fine with her, but will my pawn suffer for having low def/mdef stats or not being min-maxed one way or the other? With my current plan she'll have 406 attack and 418 magic by 100.
>>
>>147119708
i don't really care about other people's pawns. I would have to be playing the game really, really wrong to actually rely on other pawns. Fashion/theme is more important imo.

That doesn't mean MK is bad, it just means you should use pure weapons. Most of the spells rely somewhat on your physical stats, so having a fuck ton of strength will still help your spells.

But really though, physical MK is way cooler than smacking magic floaty balls. Just slap on Abyssal Anguish and some melee skills and you're basically a Fighter on crack with magical abilities on the side for versatility.

Just completed my first trip to the Shadow Fort after clearing my way through the Ancient Quarry ( I like to rp that a traveler told me about the shortcut at either the pawn guild or Arsmiths Ale House).

My next plan of action is to go through the ancient groves (unknowingly coming upon a dragon) and then looping around th hinterlands until I'm back home in Cassardas to visit the villagers and have a good few days rest before heading towards The Water Gods Alter in order to help unlock ancient mysteries.

After helping the friendly monks with their task it's back to Gran Soren to report my progress to Sir Maximilian and to continue to curry favor with the honorable Duke Edmun Dragonsbane.

Fuck this game embodies the heart and spirit of ADVENTURE!

I said it a long time ago, but Dragon's Dogma managed to perfectly encapsulate this feeling of yearning for adventure.
Like when you're a kid and you have little toy knights, and you just bash them against each other or take them outside for some grand quests involving your cat/dog and some plastic toys.

I think the fact that so many areas in this game are optional but filled with little details or just empty gives this game breath.

It's the one thing I prefer over Skyrim way of handling exploration. In Skyrim you go one way, find a dungeon, loop the dungeon and get some loot, then go in another direction.
In Dragon's Dogma you go in one direction, get ambushed by a harpy, get a really nice view as a reward, then follow the cliffside to a secluded beach with a lone boat.

It's really the best feeling.

Having to feign ignorance after the first four hours you play because you already know everything that happens in the game and where everything including every enemy spawn is doesn't embody adventure very well imo.

Your shield skills, including the enchants that you can put on your weapon take advantage of the magic stat. Your sword, should be a sword, ready to have anything at all applied to it depending on the situation.

And Abyssal Anguish.
>>
>>147126376
Sure, but that's no reason not to use a perma-encahnted thing. Ascalon takes an ice or thunder enchant as good as any mundane sword.
>>
>>147125808
The "game" part is pretty important too. A roleplaying game where the roleplay is forced and bad is not a good roleplaying game.
>>
>>147127050
It does when you consider that the split damage is calculated against both magick and standard defense, on top of the elemental resistances. (In Ascalon's case, not all that much because Holy isn't really resisted by many things)

Both damages aren't very high, and since your character seems to have balanced our their stat gains towards both, you're going to do a lot less damage than someone with, per say, Cursed Bite or even Dragon's Dogma against most of the Bitterblack enemies.
>>

>>

Then you should know better. Roleplaying is about immersing yourself in a character and behaving as they would, even if you, as a player, know better.

If you're playing some sheltered fucboi prince and the DM starts describing a garden full of weird statues and then a large lizard-like creature, you don't go "oh shit that's a basilisk everyone look away or you'll be petrified". You look that fucker in the eyes and risk getting petrified, because your character doesn't have a fucking clue.

>>147128410
The context of that event is everything. Just stop reading spoilers from now on and you'll be fine.

Yet fast, light attacks are still the strongest generally. The balance is pretty janky overall, but imo mixed raw/archmagick weapons should have the values added and tried against the average of the foe's defences or something.
>>
>>147130387
It's really good if you were to have played maybe a sorcerer for a long time and had a really high magic attack. Your damage wouldn't be quite as gimped, because you can still rely on the magic attribute of the weapon to continue your damage streak, but limiting your stats decreases your damage potential.

I don't think NG+ cycle or difficulty setting affects BBI, iirc it's locked on hard difficulty. It does have its own NG+ that's a real one unlike the main game in which the only difference from NG is the portal to the ur-dragon fight but that has nothing to do with the main game's NG+.
>>
>>147132789
Those augments aren't very good. I'd use a ring slot on a master ring that boosts health and/or stamina if you can find one but I wouldn't waste an augment slot on it. That said stamina can be offset with curatives, health you might want to worry about leveling up as something else a little (fighter gets the best health growth iirc) but you can definitely get by without doing so, you just need to be more careful about not getting hit. Armour offsets poor base defence and also helps with the whole health thing. Once you goldforge shit the defence is usually pretty good even on robes.

Objectively wrong. Immolation does an absurd amount of damage, thousand kisses does an absurd amount of damage, you can do both at once.

Having a blast so far, just some things that confuse me:
Why do one-time ferrystones exist when there is an infinite one? Can you lose it? I don't even know where I got it.
Why do wakestones exist? are they just for certain quests? You can just pick up your fallen pawns from the floor, so they don't really serve a mechanical purpose, right? They seem an awful lot of work just to revive some dead kid.

>>147141101
>So is there an advantage to playing just with your main pawn? Or any disadvantage when playing with a full party?
The more pawn you have in your party, the more XP is divided between your pawns. Running with only you and your pawn means you gets double XP for each fights.
>How can I make her learn quicker?
Pawn training.
Buy elixirs from Jonathan in the Encampement for what you want and use the knowledge chair to fine tune.
Your pawn will learn from you, meaning using lots of ranged will encourage your pawn to stay out of combat and use ranged option.
>And what are some decent combo attacks we can do? I'm currently playing strider with a mage pawn.
Mages pawn are tuned for supporting the rest of the party through buffs and healing. If you really want combos you should either play a magic class yourself or play a more physical one for your pawn.
>Oh and when I dismiss pawns, do I need to clear out their inventory? Or is that done automatically?
It's automatic.
One dirty trick if you find yourself overloaded on stuff on the road is to give all your shit to a support pawn then to chuck him out from a cliff or to the sea, it'll empty his inventory in your Inn chest.
Though this is an evil technique as it gives 3 star ratings and no gift to the owner of that pawn.

How does this

Relate to this at all?

wait, 3 stars are evil? I've always been trying to be honest when rating looks of pawns, and don't really know the etiqquette for gifting, so I just give them random furs, or sometimes a hoe if they're women.

The unwritten rule of rating pawn is :
1 star if they are wearing princess clothes.
1 star if they are guardian / nexus combo.
X star if they are acquisitor and left you during combat to gather loot.
1 star if they are a mage pawn with only boons and no attack spells.

Basically 3 star rating is synonym with "Average", as in "Meh" pawn. 4 star means a good pawn, 5 star is a pawn you really liked for his style or combat training.

Gifts are more important later in the game, especially Bitterblack Island where some of the enhancing stuff is pretty rare. You can ask for specific things in this threat to be given to you as gift.

Hope it helps.

It relates by you not being a retarded faggot.

You're probably the same kind of idiot who deletes and re-posts because of a typo.

>>147141704
oh yeah, where did I get the princess dress anyways?
I just entered the capitol and somehow I had like 8 sets of clothes in my bank.
>>
>>147141863
It was a DLC clothing in the PS3 option.
As the PC released with all DLC and the expansion installed you get them automatically.

Remember to kill/throw out from cliffs every pawn you see dressed in princess clothing.

Death to pinks.

I like acquisitor pawns because I'm terrible at collecting loot (hard to see, can't be bothered to pick things off the floor) and acquititors just vacuum the floor.

This is especially important as dropped items despawn if too many monsters come in

>/ddg/ killing women for what they wear

typical

>>147142112
>women
These women are Pawns!!!
>>
>>147142112
I didn't mention women.
I mentioned pawns.
Meaning men are wearing pinks outfits too.

Equal death to all pinks.

First rule about the unwritten rule is that it's not written anywhere.
I can litteraly said that the rule is to purge all elf-pawn off this side of Gransys and some people will buy it.

Please do not hurt the elves. They try their hardest for you.

The only reason that one is unwritten is because it's common sense and a natural reaction.

Isn't the Queen's Set only available to players who had the original game? Talking about console versions here.

>>147142892
Yes. Capcom gives us a little present or two in the PC version and 4chan is offended when people use it.

It just kills me how they only hate the pink queen clothing. Total sand nigger reaction.

> free clothing
They cursed our rift with that fucking princess dress everywhere.

>>147143996
Why? It stands out like a sore thumb.
>>
>>147144057
It has good stats, especially early game when all you have are your tunics with no upgrades

It's not a bad look for mages
>>
>>147144269
It looks like shit and doesn't suit a mage's appearance at all.
Stats are OP and practically cheating, because you're getting DLC items from the very beginning of the game.
You can also take your sand nigger racism outta here on your way out, thanks.
