You can change vocations at level 10 at the Gran Soren inn or BBI.
Character appearance can be changed later on.
You don't need pawns, but they help.

What purpose does this object serve?

A bucket? Dear god.
>>147308257
Hat of Shame
>>147308482
What about the pole and the hooked chain and that weird base? And why is it arranged that way?
>>147308650
It's probably all for butchering.
>>147308723
w-what
>>147308650
Probably for butchering.
>>147308752
Oh come on anon, pole to hang the carcass and a bucket to catch the blood and guts.
>>147307352
is this from DDO?

You lads are pretty clever. The best I could come up with was "bathing".
>>147308995
yes

It's the only way I've managed to cope. I end up splitting my time 30:70 between the game and 4chan.
>>147310004
Nevermind, he finally appeared on my map.
>>147310591
Eh, why not plan ahead what you'll play for a couple weeks before you do so instead of starting and stopping every single day?
How can I trigger Escort Duty early? Do I have to give Fournival shit?

Can I redo a quest? I'd like to hear my Arisen get whipped again.
Why the fuck do mystic knights not carry their shield always in combat pose and only when blocking
it looks so dumb just whipping out a giant ass shield out of your back pocket every 2 seconds

You wouldn't like Kingdom of Amalur.
Is Warrior the worst vocation in BB? I can solo all of BB with all vocations except Warrior.

I love hanging around the beach in Cassardis, it's super comfy.
>>147313746
I remember trying it, going for a stealth run.
The bosses always teleport in your face, taunt you, then teleport away. The second you enter in their room, they teleport in, find you immediately, and charge you.
Fucking piece of shit.
>>147313834
I don't think stealth is really worth it in Amalur.

I fucking hate when they do that.
>>147314393
My first run was as a mage and I twoshotted the final boss. It was supposed to have four forms. I just straight up skipped two of them. Don't let your memes be dreamsor be a dick-ass thief
If I restart the game, does my previous pawn disappear? As in, no one can rent my pawn from the rift?
Or is the rift full of old pawns from Arisens that were deleted?
>>147314685
I don't think I ever play mage. Except in Diablo-likes. For Kingdom of Amalur, Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma or the Elder Scrolls, I always go for Warrior and end with abusing the bow.
Except in Dark Souls where the bows kinda suck. I don't think I ever used a single spell in Dragon's Dogma.
>>147308650
You hang the bucket from the hook. When not in use, you put the bucket like that to drip dry.
I always thought Feste had long hair under this thing.

Magick Archer truly is a poorly named Flaming Daggerman.
>>147314862
I almost always play mages or archers, sometimes I'll play a spellsword/enchanter type character. Rarely play pure melee niggers, Dark Souls is the only exception really since I usually go with spears or swords in that. Magick Archer is a godsend, though I'd prefer if you could also shoot normal arrows that didn't home and had a trajectory and shit.

I blame society.
>>147318305
I see what you're talking about but I think it's pretty cute.
So, is mystic knight only worth it if focusing on spells?
>>147319895
It's good regardless, the spells are stronger though. Like MA, you can even play it as a support class if you're a madman. In fact I wonder how well it would do against daimon using the holy wall thing on the shield with a firing squad of ranger pawns behind you...
>>147320005
not him, but how much worse would it be going full physical?
I'm currently building a warrior/assassin but I want to keep my options open for trying out MK especially since I like Abyssal Anguish
>>147320041
You get plenty of magic from weapons generally. I'm actually not sure how it works with MK though since you cast with your sword and full physical swords seem to work fine. If magic cannon works the same as the gazer's cannon, physical attack on the weapon that strikes it determines the magic damage produced (because a low level character does 0 damage, only knockdown, on that cannon to the eye), so the other sword spells may work similarly.
>>147320005
Can I not bother with minmaxing then, and just switch to it now at level 11?
>>147320041
Physical MK is great. I use Abyssal Anguish, one physical skill, and Stone Jungle for nuking things on the side (even with physial based stats/gear, it deals a shit load of damage and stuns big enemies).
Physical MK is so strong, that I actually once killed Grigori during the chase sequence when he's breathing fire from the hallway. It skipped the entire boss fight sequence and the credits rolled right then and there. The maxed out BBI mace gives you attack power on par with a Warrior (it's only like 100 weaker maybe), plus the fast moveset of a Fighter, plus the stacked damage from AA and whatever other enchantments you have. Physical MK is one of the most OP builds in the game, it's just not as versatile as some other classes (though you can fix that by carrying a staff to switch to when needed).
>>147320041
>min/maxing
>>147320459
I'm not min-maxing in the sense of planning out a build and how many times I'm going to level x class, but I'm trying to keep my stats on the physical side since I know I don't really like pure magic casting that much.
>>147320251
Thanks anon, good to know that's an option.
>>147320240
Most of your attack stat comes from later OP weapons.
does assassin get more interesting than climbing onto something and mashing hundred kisses on its weakpoint
i'm still early on
>>147320868
you climb and gouge with a sword instead
so no
>>147320251
>Physical MK is so strong, that I actually once killed Grigori during the chase sequence when he's breathing fire from the hallway. It skipped the entire boss fight sequence and the credits rolled right then and there.Strider can easily kill him in the first encounter with brainsplitter spam and stacked augments. Even easier with the maker's finger.
>>147321667
>>147321734
>mfw every time I remember there is absolutely no fucking way Valmiro survives through his adventure
>>147321765
That's obvious though. You wouldn't normally expect it to be possible withnon-shitterclasses.
>>147321734
>>147321814
Actually, I don't know what to think.
His quests definitely make him look like a weak ass, but he as a good physical build and if you talk to him between quest, he gifts you rare items only found in dangerous areas. Also when you complete the last quest, he gives you post-game monster materials.He's probably a weakling and those gifts are just RPG sheanigans.
>>147321765
Pretty sure Maker's Arrow only takes one healthbar to BBI bosses.
>>147321840

Sorry, it's been two hours since I woke up but my brain refuses to activate.
>>147322175

Confirmed shitter. If you were an MLG pro like me you would play barehanded Mage.
Just kill yourself my man.
>>147321814
>>147321948
Valmiro isn't a weakling, he's feigning being hurt so you'll give him curatives because he ran out and he's too much of a cheapass to buy more. The only reason you're the Arisen and not him is that when the dragon attacked he was thirty miles away near Gran Soren slaying the cockatrice that Salvation would later resurrect.
>>147322316
>having access to feather jump
fucking casul
>>147322365

I bet you play with pawns and use curatives too you fucking faggot.
>>147322497
pretty sure feather jump is default on mage, you don't purchase it
>>147322593
Doesn't it only work with a staff equipped anyway?
I only play manly classes for manly men like me so I wouldn't actually know.
>>147322324

Does Acuity have any effect on Abyssal Anguish?
Hi guys, I was looking at this sheet and don't quite understand it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EBa1CNhY9LXq7qbyV6Gj4jxBmHSbc3ASp3rIrBrAxpI/edit#gid=274777126
So from what I understand of DD's damage system, each attack has a multiplier for your character's base Strength/Magic stats, and another multiplier for the weapon's stats. So the sheet has those values included, which is basically what you'd expect. But then it ALSO has an extra stat: "Power"? Does anybody know what that's supposed to mean? Is it a flat amount of damage added after the multipliers to strength/magic, or something?
>>147323597
Nevermind, I found the document that explains it.
Anyone kind enought to gift me a Feral Cape ?
It would go really well with my barbarian outfit.
>>147315390
>I usually go with spears
Mein negger.
>>147323032
yes
>>147325417
sent ;)
>>147326158
Really ?
I didn't even told you the name of my pawn !it's Octavia
how many levels does it generally max out vocations early on?
5?
10?
>>147326920
15 to 30, maybe? Depends on vocation, what level you are, which enemies you're fighting, etc.
When I do get "locked on rails" for the final boss fight? I still got BBI to finishtwicebefore fighting the S-man but I want to get as close to that as possible but I just can't remember. Can I safely hand in the 20 wakestones and go further or?
>>147327398
Once you give the 20 wakestone you are locked into the endgame.
Do NOT give the 20 wakestone unless you're set out to finish the game.
>>147327495
Phew, thanks a lot!
give me some magick archer builds
mainly gonna be using the bow
So if I have ten red dots in my vocation, I'm supposed to switch it, so I don't skip leg day, right?
It is so satisfying when your pawn does something really fucking good. I've noticed after learning enemies' weaknesses my sorcerer has started to apply the right spells and it's like some weird pride over a virtual pseudo-child of yours, love it
>>147327729
If you want a balanced build, yes.

>>147328569
What makes strider/ranger pawns more liable to use actually good strats like climbing/hundred kisses or tenfold spam? Do inclinations help there or do you really have to limit your pawns to as few skills as possible? Been playing for a while, just really in the dark when it comes to pawn metagame
>>147327632
http://stackoverflow.github.io/dragons-dogma-stat-planner/#am002b0000002a050000000000000064000000
>>147328693
My Ranger only has Tenfold Flurry. Even then, she didn't use blast arrows until suddenly one day she did. I originally gave her Tenfold only because with Barbed Nails and goldforged Revenant, a pawn can stunlock Eliminators and kill certain enemies really quickly with certain status arrows by spamming tenfold. And if they have multiple skills, pawns will stop spamming tenfold in order to do other stuff.
Then one day she just started using Blast Arrows. I had her carry them for me whenever I farmed Death/Daimon. I've heard of training pawns, idk if it's a real thing, but maybe she saw me tenfold blast bosses so much that she started doing it herself.
I've heard Scather makes pawns more likely to climb. The first time I saw a Strider pawn do this was with the pawn in this video, who was a Scather: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz-VYXtevYU
My own Strider was also a Scather. Even then, they don't always do it, and sometimes other pawns in your party will screw it up anyways. Like sorcerers who like to Gicel the cyclops as you're climbing it.
Fighters with aggressive inclinations will spam Dragon's Maw a lot if they have the stamina for it and are surrounded by enemies. My Fighter just happened to have picked up a couple sour ambrosials in the Lost City or w/e it's called, and ran into a big group of eliminators in a narrow alley.
So last. Might I gave the bandit chief several skulls. He says "this deserves some merit!" After 3 or 4 he just gives you the group.oire. I'm not going to gift him back the grimoire. To see his reaction. I will spending much of this playthrough trying to romance this bandit.
Can somebody see what happens if you steal it and then give it to him?
Edit. He's given me a quest now. This is all new to me. I've played through this game quite a few times. Never knee he would dish out quests.
>>147329408
Thanks for the tips. Jesus christ that video lol
>Going on a 2 week trip
>No /ddg/
I had fun guys and I am loving this game.
Try and hire Matadora, a cute loli warrior. Pioneer and Challenger if that is any good.
I need to change an aspect on my character that I fucked up.
>>147329806
Should I kill the other hand of thieves. Or do they have quests in store for me?
>>147330497
They do. But any that you kill will respawn in a week as if nothing happened.
>>147329014
>waiting until 200
these builds are so fucking stupid
>>147330738
Agreed.
You have to play the class you want to play, simple as that. Mix and match other classes to get their augments for 10 or 20 levels and you have a balanced build that won't be numbingly dull after 12 hours of powerleveling with Veteran's Priapt always on.
As a rule of thumb I'd say aim for at least 400 defense and 250 magical defense, should be enought to have good survivability. Physical attack and magical attack just depends on your personal tastes.
Just installed the ENB series mod. I like how sky lighting looks but unfortunately it makes it much harder to see when in shadow.
Any good texture mods? I saw an incomplete one but it said that there may be missing textures in places so I didn't really want to use it.
Gonnas ask again.
Anyone knows the mod that allows you to change your level and the level you spent as this class or this class ?
>>147330738
If you're making an alt (or have a friend who can help out) you can get level 200 in like 30 to 45 minutes by farming Living Armors with Fiend Luring Incense.
>>147327906
fuck, I played mage to rank 3 and I already hate it.
my pawn looks cute as a strider, but now she'll be shit for ages and get bad ratings oh god.
>just tried witcher 3
>good ideas, but it's fucking hard to see what's on the screen
>combat is too much button mashing and aggroing solo enemies
>and it's slow as fuck
Despite how bad Dragon's Dogma is, I still prefer how it handles combats over the other games I played.
>>147332898
got it during the sale last week and having a blast so far.
The weirdest thing to me is the death system, though. Why do you time travel to an earlier point in time when you die? Especially since a big point of the game is that how your pawn learns from your actions.
They could've made it so that you get punished for failing, but your pawn learns from it. The way it is now, the game doesn't punish you at all.
Game Over screens are a relic of arcade times, and any game using them is actively crippling itself.
New to the game, lvl 30 now, did 15 levels as strider and 15 as fighter to get beefy and to get some augments. Is it viable if I switch to sorcerer now or are my spells going to hit like wet paper?
I heard it helps to get some magic defenses for the endgame.
>>147333306
A system à la Dark Souls where you respawn and people comments on you dying would've been real fun.
Plus it woulda made the Arisen real badasses instead of just making them superhumans.
>>147333417
the comparison that always comes to my mind is Shadow of Mordor, just because it also does some witty NPC AI shenanigans. I played that game for hours just raising and killing ork chiefs.
Just imagine all the pawn dialogue about how he's sorry you got eaten by some monster.
The game does the whole persistent world thing decently, so it just feels really weird how they decided to add a simple fail state instead of a mechanic that made sense.Why is it so infuriating to see a good game stop right before reaching the next level of quality?
>>147331123
honestly just use reshade and sweetfx, it's a thousand times less ugly
>>147333697
Don't talk to me about Shadow of Mordor. I hit the max level before even doing 75% of the game simply because tracking and hunting orcs bosses was that fun.
>Just imagine all the pawn dialogue about how he's sorry you got eaten by some monster.
And the NPCs surprised to see you trying again.
>"But Arisen, you got killed last time! Do you want to die again?"
The main beef I have with Dragon's Dogma is that it does a fine job of explaining the whole ecosystem, but it also makes Gran Soren small as fuck and doesn't really explain if there's a bigger world at large or not.
The map is just so damn small, and yet you often have to walk a long time to find anything. They should've added horses or something.
>>147333739
Best preset to use? Thanks for telling me about this. Sounds cool.
>>147331312
bumping this.
Weird, I'm pretty sure I saw a mod like this months ago when I didn't need it but now there's nothing similar anywhere.
Does that shit even exists ?
>>147334291
Not using any myself but there are a ton of them. I just have the debanding effect turned on right now, that alone make a huge difference.
>>147330738
yeah that kind of nonsense just ruins the fun of the game
you just feel empty once you hit that 200 anyway - and the grind to get there isn't worth it
>>147336059
Getting to level 200 is fucking balls. Being level 200 is anus.
>>147336059
>>147336609
On console, I had 3 level 200s that I played regularly, and a couple more that I didn't really touch. I couldn't even remember what it was like to not be 200.
>Can farm 1mil RC for myself, or anybody else, in ~10 minutes by farming Death
>Can kill Daimon about a dozen times in an hour
>Enough abyssinal sets for every character I have
>Can do Lv.3 Gear runs in ~5 minutes, each run gets 1 or 2 gear on average
>Even have low level alts set up in full Lv.3 armor so I can farm Savior Ring by making new accounts and bumrushing to the quest, then gifting it to main pawns
Playing PC where I couldn't rely on my main accounts to powerlevel and farm gear/RC for me was refreshing.
Started a sorcerer playthrough and decided I may as well do some of the quests I'd normally never bother with, like going to Witchwood. Specifically, because I was curious who Selene is and why everyone and their grandma seems to have a boner for her. I lost all my fucking pawns to bandits, had to run through about 20 bandits and 5000 wolves, nearly died 7 times and had to fight everything in Witchwood solo as a fucking rank 2 sorcerer. Only kept going out of sheer desire to find Selene, plowed through the fucking miasma and finally reached the hut. And what am I greeted by? An autistic child.
I am judging all of you so fucking hard right now.
>>147338895
>died
>as a mage
You have no excuses.
>>147338895
I only fap to elves.
>>147339252
I said nearly died. My pawns, though, had to be left behind, because it seems the average bandit can instantly oneshot me (and is hard to dodge in the dark) and takes about 25 lightning bolts to the face to kill.
>>147339378
Elves are for bullying.
Level 155 warrior with a warrior pawn. I've been a warrior since level 25. BBI is fucking raping my amazonian ass.
Is there even hope?

> Not wanting a sorceress loli who can make you beer from plants when you're back home from slaying gigantic monsters
What are you ? A faggot ?
>>147340159
>BBI is fucking raping my amazonian ass
This is my fetish.
>>147340309
I like women with a personality. And a nice ass. Preferably ones that don't get me arrested.
>>147340309
She isn't very loli. Edmun's wife is more of a loli.
>>147340421
You can do so much things with a nice ass.
>>147320868
Assassin's got a lot of cool attacks, as well as a couple counter moves that work sort of like Assassin's Creed combat. The problem is that other than cling+slash and the counters, the other skills don't have the same kind of utility and/or power as the major skills of other yellow vocations (or the MK). I love the class for the variety, though. Switching from daggers to sword to bow to shield skills is pretty fun.

I did NOT think this through.
So if I want to switch between Assassin and Mystic Knight. How much strength and magical attack should I aim to make it viable ?
Just bought the game. Would you recommend playing on a controller? It's a capcom game and the menu is rather funky so far. Whats the gameplay like on keyboard?
>>147343504
Also I've not looked into the game at all, whats the funniest class for bashing some monsters? If theres a character with a grab ill pick that shit instantly
>>147343504
>>147343624
fuck keyboard, this game works best on controller.they all have grab, and you can throw them too. And you can climb on large monsters.
>>147343504
Both Keyboard and controller and Gamepad work fine, it's a matter of preference. I like keyboard with the AHK script in the OP more.
>>147343504
Both works fine. I guess most of us are playing in with a controller because we're coming from the PS3 version.
I would advise the controller tough
>>147343624
Every class is fun. Depends on what do you like to be. Fast, strong, magic, with magic powers or not...
It's up to you.
Every class can grab and climb monsters. But if you want to climb monster and hit them and the speed of light. Then go for the strider or ranger class.
Assassin is pretty good too since you can also use swords.
>>147310705
From Cassardis it's not as bad. Still bad though. Can you open the shortcut through the mine?
>>147343182
As long as you don't do a pure fighter/assassin or mage/sorcerer build, you'll be fine (and you'll still be fine in those builds if you're focusing on physical or magical skills, respectively). The game doesn't really punish you for playing whatever you want to play.
That said, I'd prioritize magic a little more than physical attack if you want to main MK.
>>147344571
Forgot to include prioritize physical slightly over magical if you want to main assassin.
Wait, is vocation rank not bound to level?
But stat increase is, right?
So I can't just pump my vocation to 10 and get a more rounded stat set? How do the vocation ranks even work, the wiki page on vocations is garbage.
>>147344775
Whenever you kill an enemy, you get Discipline points, which, besides allowing you to buy skills, raise your Vocation Rank.
Raising your Vocation Rank means access to new skills and new Augments. You can check the wiki for Discipline points needed for ranking up a Vocation, and a list of Augments to plan your build.
>>147344775
Vocation levels up as you collect discipline points, which are a separate pool from exp.You gain discipline points based on your xp gains, though--a certain percentage, which depends on how much xp you gain per kill/quest. You get a higher percentage at lower xp gains.
You spend discipline points to unlock vocations (the first time you switch to that vocation only) as well as skills and augments; this does NOT affect leveling up in your vocation.
Different vocations require more or less earned discipline points to level up than others.
If this is not a face saying "You're about to get raped", I am not sure what is.
>>147343783
I can't aim with a controller for shit, so I've been playing with kb&m. Only problem is the horrible fucking menu interface. That and "bow mode".
>>147346438
>I can't aim with a controller for shit
psh, I have a secret for you:nobody can.
>>147343504
personally I feel like there's a lot more you can do with M+KB much easier, but controller has always just been more intuitive/more comfortable for some people, especially for this game
if you are going to play M+KB I suggest that you figure out what your primary/secondary skill bindings are going to be very early on and commit to them. bow mode too, if you're going to use one
>>147346438
The interface and menus became much more usable when I started using WASD instead of arrows keys and E instead of enter
Only took 50 hours to realize
Just picked this up, what's a good main character / main pawn vocation combination?
>>147350510
Assassin/Sorcerer.
>>147346406
WORRY
just starting this game
why the fuck do they give you these shit tier weapons and have you fight two big monsters with them
and then when you go back to the village and do the well quest you can't even scratch the fucking lizard dudes even if you try to go for tail damage
>>147351793
>and then when you go back to the village and do the well quest you can't even scratch the fucking lizard dudes even if you try to go for tail damage
What level are you?
You might wanna postpone that quest until you are at least level 10 and you can buy better weapons at the capital.
Have you been to the capital yet?
>>147350510
Anything other than mage for your main character. Mage is okay for a pawn as that's the only vocation that can heal, so especially in the beginning (when you don't have an excess of healing items), having a mage on hand is quite useful.
That said, you can switch between vocations pretty easily and there's no real penalty for doing so, so feel free to experiment. Having multiple sorcerers can allow you to pull off world-ending spells faster; having a pioneer tanky pawn can help take the heat off your ranged/casty character, but pawns don't make great aggro-collectors, so keep that in mind. If you want a pawn to do as much dps as possible, strider is one of the better options. But those are all just suggestions.
>>147351793
Enemies don't scale and this game doesn't really hand hold. If you can't kill something then most likely you're not supposed to be there.
>>147352032
>if you can't kill something, sprint past it
>>147352032
>>147351981
I mean I figured I'm too low level for it
but I'm stubborn as shit. as I'm typing this I've managed to kill 2 so far. think there's 3 or 4 left
How do i make sorc/mage actually fun to play?
>Stand around charging shit
>Repeat
>>147352218
oh god I killed them all and backtracked and 3 more spawned
is this hell?
do enemies instantly respawn in dungeons?
>>147352686
No, they don't re-spawn, I think those are all just part of that quest.
It is a Saurian nest after all.
Nice work btw, I ran away the first time and came back with better gear.
>>147352840
I wish I could take credit for it but all I really did was stab their assholes a couple of times and revive my followers a bunch
>>147352367
Is not like that's the only thing you can do.
>>147352218
You should absolutely buy better weapons as soon as you have the chance, and though money is tight in the early game, there are some ways to get some better ones.
The easiest way to make a little money in the very beginning of the game is escort quests. If you talk to the villagers in cassardis enough, their affection will grow to the point where escort missions will pop up on the quest board there; several people in cassardis want to go to Warrior's Rest, which is pretty much right next to the encampment, meaning relatively quick, easy money.
Don't take on escort quests anywhere else at this point in the game unless you really want to go on a grand, difficult adventure, though.
The quickest way to make money in a new game, though this is substantially more dangerous, is on Bitterblack Island. If you go to the Cassardis docks at night (I think you have to have gotten your main pawn first), you'll find a woman who can take you to an area that's meant as post-game content. If you accept all the quests at the quest board here, run past the first area and into the second, you'll find a safe area with a merchant. Interact with him and loot that area, and with a little luck you should get a few dozen thousand gold, more than enough to get you decently equipped for the beginning of the game. (Warning: going to Bitterblack Island before you're ready will make it difficult to hear a little of the lore connected to the BBI campaign.)
Reynard, the merchant you find being assaulted on the road on your way out of cassardis for the first time, can also enhance your equipment, and he hangs out at the encampment until you do the hydra head quest. If you have the materials and extra money for it, you can enhance your weapons for more attack power.
>>147353593
That actually looks fun. Maybe I'll try something else than assassin.
>>147353650
it is too late for me anon
i am too busy throwing these fucking lizards into walls and laughing
holy shit the grappling in this game
>>147348319
Shiiit, thanks, anon. You've likely improved my experience tenfold.
>>147354051
Wait until you can throw them off cliffs.
Have you tried throwing them into each other? That actually does some significant damage.
>>147354051
Pretty good, heh?
>>147354683
Throwing anything can be pretty significant. If it weren't so limited I would build a character around this. I've played multiple D&D characters built around improvised throwing. Shit is FUN.
>>147354975
Isn't D&D extremely fun with unarmed build?
>>147355059
Monks can be really OP, if that's the kind of fun you're after. And in 4E, there's a subclass of fighter called a brawler, which can be built into a fucking powerhouse. What made it really fun was that my DM being good at describing it.
Making a run through fresh Bitterblack Isle - whose pawns are coming with? Post pawn's name, level and vocation!Around level 100, if you don't mind - I'm unfortunately not made of rift crystals.
>>147355881
Pick girls only. No boys allowed.
This place looks more alive than usual. Is it because of the steam sale?
>>147356294
ArisenLinkis male, though. Are you saying he needs a harem?
>>147356650
Of course.
>>147346438
>>147348319
>Only problem is the horrible fucking menu interface.
It's shit with the mouse regardless, clicks are weird, unresponsive and often when you try to click something it selects something else. There's also things that I think are issues even with a controller, like the second or so delay before you can interact with some menus which is tedious and annoying and the way that not all of your skills show up on the right when you're learning skills until you click the category.
>>147356820
That's the kind of thinking I can get behind!
so... after my Saurian nest well adventure I talked to an NPC on a bridge and she was like hey i'm a ghost
now I'm on Bitterblack Isle. Still with the starter rusted weapons and only like level 8. Is this bad?
>>147353753
Assassin is the least fun class imo, apart from gale harness and that one sword skill where you place an explosive charge and detonate it with a fuse that has high knockdown. Even then the latter isn't very useful in my experience. Assassin gameplay boils down to using gale harness thousand kisses or dire gouge while clinging to your foe (m1 spam) or counters like masterful kill (which make the combat feel like assassin's creed's, a franchise known mainly for nearly everything but its combat because the combat is trash). In the case of clinging to things, strider and magick archer get more fun variations on that imo.
Not the most worthless class though, that's mage. Mages are just shitty sorcerers with anodyne for if you somehow can't stay very light while carrying enough curatives.And Grapnel, an overlooked and underrated skill but still not enough to elevate the class above any other imo.
>>147357757
Playing assassin. Literally never used daggers.
Fear me cutlass, lads! YARR!
>>147357673
Very bad. You should come back after completing the main story, BBI is endgame content.
>>147357757
Grapnel is my shit. I learned early in my first play through how great it is.
>>147357673
Roll for anal circumference. NOW.
>>147355881
I thought I needed RC earlier but now I don't cus I finally got the level 3 I wanted.Also earlier I was 111 but now I'm nearing 150.Good luck though, reminds me I need to send the pawns I was doing Daimon runs with back.
>>147357673
Depends. You're in for a fun time if you're careful and methodical and like a challenge. BBI is doable as soon as you can access it, I went there at level 10 this run and if you get stuck I might or might not be headed to the beach tomorrow for freedom day but if not I'll probably be around to offer advice.
On the other hand, you'll get super strong weapons and armour and shitloads of levels, so it will totally trivialise the main game since you'll be overleveled and overgeared. However, I feel the main game, which I did first in my first run, is pretty easy regardless. Many people also become frustrated with BBI's difficulty even at high levels so if you're not gud it can be bad.
I'd actually recommend for your first run you do the main game first so you experience it as it is intended, but if you back up your save to start a new run (not NG+ but an entirely new level 1 character) or start over try out going to Bitterblack early because it's a tonne of fun.
This weeb has a couple of runs up that sort of explain the run and showcase some strategies he came up with to deal with his custom challenge (though he breaks his own rule about online a bit for rift crystals; I also played online for rift crystals in my recent run but didn't do any save scumming so I can confirm that isn't really a necessity).

Not in MY 3e, thank you.
>>147356482
Yea I finally picked it up and I don't know how people are walking around in good looking outfits. My arisen looks like he dresses by stabbing hobos in alleyways and stealing their clothes. My main pawn is a fighter wearing tattered wisps of cotten that might have been a robe once. One of my hired pawns is named Hornet and looks like a loli stripper with a surprisingly festive hat. I'm around level 16 in stage 2, is this normal?
>>147360440
>looks like a loli stripper with a surprisingly festive hat
100% normal.
>>147360001
I actually am 150 it seems, pawn is still 147 though. She's stacked for attack and carry capacity, mitigator and challenger with I think utilitarian as a third currently.
>>147360135

>each explosion downs almost an entire healthbar

>>147361010
You're given 18 throwblasts before the fight for that exact purpose, they're in the refuge at the top of the gutter of misery or whatever it's called. Wouldn't call it a balance issue when the tool is there for you to use.
Also throwables scale linearly off of strength and assassins get the highest strength growth of any class.
>>147360738
Not offense but I'd ravage her backdoor.
>>147360738
Hired her. Your pawn has an outfit really similar to the one I was using with my Arisen and I noticed you didn't have chest armor, so I gave her the one I was using, Weak Guard.
Also here's my pawn info, in case you're also looking for pawns around that level.
>>147360659
I'm serious, someone really took the time to convey the underage stripper look. I don't mind necessarily because she's a heal and buff mage but I try to hurry through Gran Soren nonetheless.
>>147363128
>I noticed you didn't have chest armor
For fashion mainly. I like how the plain dragonleather looks.
I'll give her a hire after I send these guys on their way.
>>147363502
Yeah, I like it too.
Weak Guard looks pretty good with Assembled and Dragonleather vests, pic related.
im going in fresh to this game after buying it in the sale so i'm avoiding guides.
but this is bothering me.
i haven't done shit with my cousin besides the withchwood sidequest, why is she pink?
Anyone else want to post rape faces?
>>147365590
It means you have max affinity.
It's for marriage and plot purpose.
>>147365723
On second thought, he doesn't look all that rapey, here's a better one.
>>147365590
She's had a crush on you since you were both like 6 or something.
>>147365590
Since I imagine you are trying to avoid spoilers I will be as vague as possible: interacting with characters and doing quests that help them raises their affinity towards you. Right now, Quina has high affinity because you saved her from wolves and shit.
A character having high affinity will also affect something else down the road.
>>147365590
She wants the d.
What is a good class I can switch to after leveling as a sorc for like 100 levels?

>>147365590
She's not your actual cousin, that's just what everyone in cassardis calls each otherbecause the village is so small that they're probably all related anyway.
When can I buy the potion that resets my pawns inclinations? The guy doesn't sell it yet for me.
>>147370401
What guy?
As far as I know, only the merchant in The Encampment sells it, the one right next to the Riftstone, and I don't remember it being a timed thing but I'm not really 100% sure about that either.

>>147373260
I'm pretty sure they only cuddled each other and somehow Aelinore left her pantsu in the bed
>>147372783
Boats are clearly okay despite the brine. The people of cassardis would bemoan not being able to go out in boats to fish if they couldn't, and several of the villagers were put on the water during the dragon attack, and it's strongly implied the brine showed up immediately after the attack--presumably sooner than far-ranging boats could have returned.
And yeah, I imagine the countries that Mercedes and snek-boi come from are on the mainland where the church headquarters are, though that sort of implies Gransys is an island of some kind. Maybe britain-ish?
>>147373409
Aelinore left her pantsu because she was fucking one of the guards before you showed up.or maybe a goblin
>>147373409
>turns out she forced her pantsu into Arisen's mouth and furiously pegged him/her
>forced to leave when said pantsu fell out and Arisen woke the whole building up with his/her screams
Aelinore is dangerous, guys, be careful.
>>147373564
>Maybe britain-ish?
I think Gransys is not-Britain and Hearthstone is not-France.
I forget the name of the place where Julien comes from but I guess that is not-Austria.
>>147373715
>implying that wouldn't make aelinore best girl

>>147373564
Hmm... good point. I want the Brine to be some cthulu mother fucker, but it's more like a bunch of pirahna. Maybe only idling in the water counts for real world, as opposed to DONT GO DEEP ARISEN.

>>147382671
It has a daytime schedule the same as the rest of the world that shifts from night to darker night.
Why does Ophis keep a pet Cyclop ?Is it for a lewd orgy involving all the female bandits and the cyclop ?
>>147384392
Why are you even asking that question.Of course it is. Ophis is into vore and cyclope semen
>>147384392
Cyclops is singular, cyclopes is plural. It's like octopus and octopodes.
>>147385284
That makes me remember.
I really liked how in Dragon's Crown they had a name for a group of Cyclopes, a "myopia" if I remember well. A bunch of Owlbears was called a "Council".
In DD:DA, the pawns know about wolves hunting in packs, about clutches of lizardmen and about drudges of undead.
Really feels like this kind of grammatical research is making the game more alive and credible, and I don't know many games that goes out of their way to give names to "group" of monsters.
>>147386101
Pawns also mention flocks of Snow Harpies, but I guess that's not quite the same as what you are talking about, it doesn't sound particularly special.

Strider is about the only way a pawn can consistently do substantial damage, and a strider pawn will frequently pull shit like tearing off two or three of the final final boss's healthbars with a brainsplitter or hailstorm.
Ranger on the other hand gets a generally more powerful and fun to use bow that just assblasts shit if you use it right, and is very versatile in that you can both dish out pretty high damage at a much larger range than anything else AND dish out the most insane burst damage short maybe of an eminence brainsplitter at point blank. Endecad shot does baffling amounts of damage if every bolt hits but also fans out and pretty evenly covers a wide angle and deathly arrow/comet shot are a lot of fun to snipe with. The dagger suffers as a result of this bow focus but if you just want the best archery it's here imo.
Magick archer is more magick than archer honestly, though the daggers are definitely a big component, as they are to assassin and strider. I'd prefer if its basic bolt and maybe one or two of its skills weren't homing both for the sake of precise aiming and to make it seem more like a bow, and it would have a better feel if maybe some of its spells (sixfold bolt and explosive rivet in particular come to mind) worked like ranger's charged shots, but on the other hand ricochet hunter and sixfold bolt with true seeker are both pretty sexy. It's my favourite vocation but for archery ranger wins out because MA just doesn't have the "feel" of using a bow.
Assassin is garbage imo.

The mages you encounters on Gran Soren roads at nights are Salvation members, as in sorcerers and evil wizards.
The guys and girls that died in that cutscene are villagers from Gran Soren. They showed up at the Salvation's meeting like you would meet your secret society, but they didn't expect the Midget-man to sacrifice them to stop the Arisen.

what's your base magick defense ?
As a rule of thumb 250/300 is where you're relatively safe from getting 1-hit K.O
You could always change vocation to Sorcerer, buy the Awareness Augment and change back to Warrior. Awareness lets you absorb 50 points of spell damage.
>>147411843
>loli anything
fuck no
>>147411953
Base magic defense is 173.
God bless this honoraboo life.
>>147412270
Try to use Magic Def amulets for when you're sure you're gonna fight magicians.
Use rings that bolster Magic Def.
Use Awareness (it's basically a free augment)
If you have the courage, level your last 20 level as a Magick Archer, he has the highest growth of Magic Def.

Game defauls to 3 stars, no comment and no gift when the pawn dies.
0RC, 3 stars and a rock probably means that guy is trade banned, happens when gifting more than 10 items or restoring a back up save.
>>147425736
Is there some acceptable gift I don't know about? I hire pawns all the time, usually rate them 4/5 stars and make nice comments but I have no idea what to give them when I want to be appreciative. I gave a loli pawn shackles for laughs once and a warrior got a skull to symbolize all the times I had to revive her but I dunno what constitutes a "nice" gift.
>>147426617
Good healing items ?
Rare materials ?
Hard bone, Large nut and hoes are usually joke gift.
I usually give a salubrious brew or a strongwarish to pawn I really liked.
>>147426617
Nice gift is stuff like diamonds, wine, ambrosial meat, spring water, or other decent curatives.
Generous gift is Wyrmking Rings, BBI level 3 armor, gold weapons, port crystal, Platinum Rings, or rare mats like moonshimmer pelt.
Gifts of respect or affection are Blessed Flower, N'er do Part, Love in the Rough, Golden Egg in a flask.

I've never seen that error, maybe someone else has.
>>147428690
I'm reading the steam thread, and three people had that error. One of them was a typo, and the other two never got a response from the maker of the tool. I'll google around a bit more, I guess.
>people complain game is too easy
>they are playing on easy with easy mode classes
Am I the only one who finds this game Hard on... Hard? I've played through it about a dozen times with a dozen different vocations and while some are more easy than others I always found it hard.
>>147428401
>>147428690
>>147428769
OK I got it to work. Well, "got it to work" is not really accurate. It just worked suddenly.
I read that getting the .xml that Brute Force generates and repacking that would help. So I tried that, but it the program said it couldn't repack it. Then I tried it again, and it worked. The only thing I did differently the 2nd time was that I used CD to go to the directory that the savetool was located in, rather than typing out the directory starting from C:\Users\.
That... shouldn't make a difference? I only did that because I expected I was going to be trying this many, many times over, so I didn't want to type in the full directory every single time. But maybe that is what made it work, idk. Computers are fuckin' weird.
Anyways, it's saying it converted just fine now. Fingers crossed that it actually worked.
>>147429432
I find the game to be fairly easy even on hard (assuming NG+), but that's mostly because I know how to cheese the shit out of basically everything.
>>147429743
I just stuck it in C: to keep it simple.
>>147429971
This is the case of most people who think hard is easy. They start off on normal and pretty much become OP before starting hard. If you start hard from the moment you start the game you will understand very quickly that the game is indeed hard. Even with the 2x EXP and massive gold drops Grigori at the end can and will kick your ass if you didn't min max a build.

does dealing with the night get any better at some point?
it's one of the most annoying things to deal with starting out. feels dumb that you can only manage it with an innkeeper and there are no camping tools / can't use beds in random shacks you find
any spells that illuminate more clearly or something?
>>147437272

This shit right here.
No more resting 7 days at cassardis inn and running along the beach.

No more duping at Monty.Why did they remove unlimited flask purchases in the console DA, anyways?
>>147439525
If you meaning skipping through night, no, you still need to rest at an inn, certain established camps around Gransys, one of the benches on Bitterblack Island in order to make time progress faster. It gets more manageable as you pick up portcrystals and the eternal ferrystone, which will let you fast travel back to an inn and then potentially back again. And there aren't really any spells for illumination, though the magick archer bow skill Magickal Flare will let you fire a bolt at a distant area that can give you a little light there for a very short time. One of the bitterblack novelties (level 3) is the elite lantern, which has a larger radius of light than the normal lantern.

>>147441361
as >>147440314 said magick archer gets a spell arrow that creates a light. Contrary to what he said, when you upgrade it to the second tier later on it lights up a pretty broad area for a fairly long time and is about as bright as daylight. With the ring from bitterblack it can light up the market in gran soren and a good ways down all the side streets branching off of it if you fire it straight into the air.
There is also a lantern from bitterblack, the Elite Lantern (as he also said), that has double the light radius of a normal lantern, and (as he missed) there's an early ranger augment that makes normal lanterns have double radius as well.
If dark nights are really not to your taste remember you're (presumably) on PC and have access to mods, you could just get a lightweight ENB and turn up ambient light at night.

>dark enchantment isn't useful
>he doesn't know about the dark damage gimmick and how it applies to anything multi-hit
there's a reason maelstrom is so good even against shit that doesn't get tossed up and isn't actually weak to dark. Every enemy has a critical threshold that when crossed procs a critical hit when using a dark weapon. A critical hit typically takes between 5 and 15 hits to proc and when it does it does 2-9x damage, stacking multiplicatively with augments and periapts, which also blows out damage thresholds like mad. It multiplies physical damage as well, simply dark enchanting a bitter end will multiply the physical damage on it every several hits. Holy is just overrated because of HFB and the ur-dragon and daimon's weaknesses to it.

>>147454934
You fucking suck, son. You have a lot of non-issues.
>>147455274
The way this is presented is kind of weird.
afaik Ranger with blast arrows is the only way to stunlock death 100-0 without him running away.
But plenty of builds can scare him away before he's able to do anything.
>>147454586
She did, but I've learned a little more since then. Didn't make any major changes there, gave her the advanced form of toss and trigger. I have no idea which version of my pawn got hired though, I leveled her as a warrior until she maxed out that vocation then switched her to two hand for bastion and then switched her to strider, which she's been up til present. We'll see I suppose
>>147455483
>But plenty of builds can scare him away before he's able to do anything.
Well that's what I mean. He's acting like you have to kill death to keep him from eating pawns but most classes can stunlock him until he leaves.
Also you can use the ever-valuable "come" command to make your pawns get away from the scythe though that's risky because scathers especially are fucking atrocious at taking commands.
>>147454681
>should:
>comestion
but this is sorc were talking about. its a good spell, but its better used for mages. your main go to fire spell should be bolide, but if you need something faster ingle should do.
i agree with the boon thing, i don't like my sorcs having boon/pact on them
>>147455483
>>147455627
Oh also it isn't the only way to do it but it may be the only way to do it consistently. For example watch THIS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rm2RulJf8w
you have to get lucky with the ricochets for this to work though, sometimes he breaks out of it; this person also has minmaxed base magic, which means sacrificing offence from the MA's amazing daggers and also playing mostly as sorcerer instead of MA while leveling.
>>147455969
What are spells and skills better left unleveled ?
Maybe the shield taunt ? As the first level is way faster than the upgraded one ?
>>147455627
Yeah, trying to get the pawns to not die vs. Death is basically a crapshoot if you aren't equipped to stunlock him until he runs. Or if there are lots of enemies around that will prevent you from focus-firing him.
Usually I just run away and re-zone to ensure nobody loses out on RC. That's exasperating, though, because a lot of times I'll be having fun fighting a bunch of enemies before Death shows up.
And then there are the times when you load a zone, only to notice that a pawn is missing, and the game autosaved.
IIRC there's a trick around pawn deaths, though. I thiiiink it's to summon the pawn again, then not rest until you've sent them back with gift/stars/etc. They can even keep getting RC as long as you don't sleep. If you rest before sending them back, though, their owner gets the body bag.
>>147456048
IIRC, Death under certain circumstances won't run away if you meet him in the stockade? I don't remember, I haven't actually played this game in ages.
The other way to one-shot him is with a sneak attack when you run into him after Gazer. Some attacks will instantly stun him if he hasn't aggro'd yet, and he'll fall into the river and die instantly. I think holy shotgun is good for this.
so I was doing the goblin fort wyrm hunt mission, and there were a bunch of holes in the caves everywhere.
My pawn said small people might go into it, but my min-height oppai loli strider pawn didn't do shit.
Also, how do I make her use special arrows?
>>147456860
Your Arisen can climb through those if they're small enough. Your pawn won't just go off on her own.

>What are spells and skills better left unleveled ?
uhh for spells i think the only time you MAYBE wouldn't want to upgrade them would be when you get to the third (Grand) tier. simply because some people don't like their cast times.
personally the only time i don't like it when a spell is upgraded is when a mage has Grand Anodyne. that extra cast time isnt worth it imo
for skills, i cant think of any skill that is worse when upgraded. i don't like putting the shield skills anyways since all you need is perfect blocking
>>147456826
>IIRC, Death under certain circumstances won't run away if you meet him in the stockade?
yea he has permanent scripted places during your first run of bbi
>>147456860

>>147333365
it's still early for you to worry about not hitting hard enough, specially since you leveled up strider

i locked in the worst shop upgrade for masterworks and got nothing at all for Madeleine

Madeliene gets nothing, and Masterworks gets the weakest stuff possible.

this fucker has been annoying me for some time. Sent him home after this.
>>147424161
KILL FESTE
>>147460896
Masterworks takes a few days to update. And Madeline you can just max her affection and help her run from the cops
>>147462243
OH wait i didnt see bronze for masterworks, haha u fucked up sorry
do better in ng+

Mage is the worst vocation.
>>147461968

Degenerate.
>>147460559
reset to last checkpoint
What's the best vocation for leveling a pawn after you max out the basic ones? I've done warrior and strider already, thinking about making her a ranger next.
>>147407079
i am going to steal this outfit later on
>>147468778
Awesome !
If it can help you the outfit goes like this :
No helmet
Hard Leather Plate
Surcoat
Emissary Gauntlet (bought at Montebank)
Evening thights
Emissary boots (bought at Montebank)
>>147468615
do you have a goal in mind? if no then don't worry about it and max out all your vocations
have fun
>>147469323
Not really, just want her to stay useful. First playthrough, not trying to minmax. Yet.
>>147416540
yea
so you can give him the gold idol in your first run and then give it to jewtits on ng+ to get both
>>147469383
If you're not planning on switching her between physical and magic classes, stay away from mage, though a little sorcerer can be good for boosting magic defense if you feel like you're getting low on that. I mean, mage isn't a great class unless you want a heal + grapnel supporter, anyway. If you want to go magic, definitely max sorcerer out at point, preferably pre-100. That'll give you some good magic attack, too. Either way, ranger's a pretty good choice.
Just beat the drake in devilfish at lv40. Got a dragon forged lions mane. Man that feels so good.
Funny however my arisen was doing like zero damage to his heart. While my sorcerer pawn takes away 3/4 health bar with a single spell.

>>147470438
OK cool. One last question for now, why does the google doc sidequest chart in the OP say to only complete two Wyrmhunt quests before starting Stage 3? I've been in stage 2 for around 14 hours now and would like to move on but I don't like leaving quests unfinished if I can avoid it. Is there some reason I shouldn't do Seeking Salvation and Watergods Alter or is it just a speed run thing?
>>147474223

>>147475136
You get one each time, I am 99% sure. Since all quest reset
>>147475243
I used a different guide, but you only need to do 2 to continue. I did all 4, because I'm a psychopath.
>To continue the story, you only have to do 2 of the first 4 main quests below. However, for this trophy you must do all of them. After talking to the Duke and leaving the castle during the main quest 'Come to Court', the screen will show the Duchess in the garden. You must talk to her 3 times until she removes the jester hat (you received it at the start of this quest) to access her side quest.
>>147476186
Aight, I'll finish off the other two then, shouldn't be too long. Thanks for the help

Trappings of Evil doesn't fully reset iirc. Or rather, you can do it again, but don't get a second savior's ring.

Hi,
I just started playing this and leveled a fighter to 12 and then switched to Mystic Knight. I'm now level 24 and all is going good. Is there any tips and tricks I should know about which skills to use and if I should level other classes for augments? The same applies to my pawn, who was a level 12 mage and since then a sorcerer.
Does anyone have any pro tips or tricks on building a good mystic knight and sorcerer?

Does anyone have a mid 30's mage pawn that can heal they wanted hired? Most of the casters around this level seem to be sorcerers and I'd prefer the healing over more damage. The one pawn I did find is so ridiculous that I'm eager to send him packing out of sheer annoyance at his helium voice and refugee from a garden party attire.
is magick more important in a dagger for a magic archer than physical attack?
i just swapped classes and im not seeing any difference really between the two daggers in action despite the extra 200 magick

>>147489312
I think it affects the damage you do with grand scension and nothing else, and you probably won't end up using that skill unless you make a really gimmicky build, so I'm gonna say no. I usually use framae. Immolation and I'm pretty sure sunflare do physical damage that scales off of dagger attack, though you wouldn't expect it.

I thought MK was going to have a hard time but Holy buff and Great Cannon just shred Ur's health bars right off.
>>147499389
Fight him in offline mode for a normal version, online version is a kind of raid boss with a global health bar.
If you want to try online read some of the threads that track his health, I think there's one on Steam forums and Gamefaqs.

>>147500036
It's because there's more than one instance of Urdy at a time but PC version is glitched and counts each one as a separate gen. On consoles they synch correctly.

Some you can only get online because they're dependent on the amount of damage you contributed to Ur's death.
Are side quests worth bothering on new game?
>>147501690
Mostly if you want a specific beloved.
Why is the Urdy fight so fucking BORING?
They nailed it with the soundtrack, his theme is fucking rad and his design is not half bad, but actually fighting him feels like a drag.
I get it, he's sort of a DPS test but goddamn, I still think they could have made him much more interesting.
>>147501690
Not really
most of the quests are shit desu
>>147502215
>bringing your best team of level 200 console juggernauts and endless curatives

PC Urdy is not a challenge. This boss is best on PS3.
>>147502215
The DPS test sucks, since the damage limit is so low. Would it take that much effort to reprogram that shit?

1 or 2
>>147501385
This is just way too fucking hard. This is the closest I've gotten, I'm getting closer though and there's a video on youtube seemingly doing it unassisted by ogres or giant undead (which I can't seem to get to spawn now, even after waiting several days at an inn- Only the strigoi that fly all the way back to their spawn if they decide they don't like your tone of voice). I wonder if it's easier with a tall character, I may truly have to become michael jordan.
>>147506551
You have to let go, Anon.
All the side quests are not worth doing.

I...
Wha...
Nevermind. It's night and I'm not going to look anymore. As far as I'm concerned, that shit was Brine food like you say
>>147509878
Not in 2.0. Only strigoi spawn nearby and you have to sort of glitch their ai to use them in that area so they don't go back to their spawn.It's about pride at this point, though. Just not enough that I wouldn't resort to torporing myself to make the timing easier.
>>147509993
Probably was. Sometimes big spawns like cyclopes will just die somewhere you can't see them, it's rare but it happens.
>>147508973
>>147508882
>>147506551
Cool. Someone gets to share my struggles.
The giant undead are the best way to get up there if you're in BBI 2.0.
>>147510876
If you're still in 1.0, the answer is harpies.
>>147510962
If you don't get the giant undead, it is actually possible to do the same with eliminators, although climbing them and keeping them in place is hell I'd rather not try.
I nearly had it in this webm but forgot to use Instant Reset.
>>147511050
Another thing I tried was luring strigoi all the way from the other side of the level, by the other bridge. Turns out they despawn when they fly close enough.
I tried carrying them over but they still despawn as well.
>>147508882
>later in the video he just shows that he was jumping off a giant undead like everyone else and had been angling the camera up to hide it
how could I forget basketball is a team sport
>>147511050
Did you try vortex trail+shadowshackle? I used it to get the poisoned undead into position, not sure if it would work on eliminators or if they're too heavy. Shadowshackle should torpor them regardless I think.
>>147511170
Right before the second brick in the path is supposed to be where they despawn, so you carry them there and ride them the rest of the way. I saw videos but couldn't make it work.
>>147511386
>vortex trail+shadowshackle
Yeah I saw what the 240p guy did, but I was too lazy to go try those skills myself. I'm sure it would have helped though.
>>147511269
That's some ridiculous anamorphic lens flare. How'd you get that?
How do Fighter fair late? I've tried Warrior but not sure I enjoy the really sluggishness of the combat as one
>>147511610
Fighter's quite a lot faster than Warrior, since no attacks have a charge time. Later on you get some cool skills like Full Moon Slash as well and all in all quite neat.

>That's some ridiculous anamorphic lens flare. How'd you get that?
It's not that intense most of the time, but some of the brightly lit areas on white stone in bitterblack and interiors in gran soren with a lantern on at night cause it to blow out especially. I believe it's in my lens shader, which iirc was taken from K ENB for Skyrim.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dz7sx24c82d7mgq/enblens%282%29.fx
remove the (2), it's the second time I've uploaded an enb lens shader to mediafire and I'm too lazy to check what the first was and whether I should delete it.

>pulling ENBs from Skyrim right into DD
you madman
>>147512714
Not the entire ENB, but files like lens and prepass are usually interchangeable presumably because boris doesn't (because he doesn't have to) change his base code much. Most of the people that come out with ENBs within a day or two of Boris releasing the first binaries for a game, like Wickfut, are able to do it so quickly because they have heavily bloom-shader-reliant ENBs and just make minor edits to their core file (enbbloom.fx), which also carries their signature look over. I think enbeffect.fx carries over between games poorly though, and I've had some weird instances where for example a game seems to use a different kind of depth buffer than another, like trying to use a fallout: new vegas depth of field shader with dark souls 2 has decidedly unsatisfactory results.
>>147513110
Well that's true. Depth buffer implementations vary per game, and any sane developer inverts their depth range but some still don't. On top of that, things might look bad because of various alpha overlays such as fog that mess with depth values as well. I don't think ENB does this, but GeDoSaTo allows for effects injection before these sorts of effects are even drawn on screen yet.
You're out for a stroll, you look behind and see this. What do you do?
>>147515458
Slap its ass.

>>147515458
PET
>>147513582
Pretty sure ENB doesn't, it was a pretty big problem in DaS2 because there's a large area that's blanketed in fog and it looked just atrocious with AO on in ENB.

Oh, yeah, it's not super uncommon for the devilfire drake to fly into the lake nearby. That's how I got my first dragonforged stuff in my PS3 save. Was minding my own business on the opposite side of the lake and out of nowhere half my equipment got dragonforged. I just burst out laughing.
>just completed wyrm ring quest
how many hours of game do I have left?
>>147533037
Do you mean that as in, the main quest?
I think that's about halfway done.
It's not uncommon for people to play literally hundreds of hours after beating the main quest though.
Every game should have a photo mode;
How can I level up quickly? I just beat that holy undead priest in BBI, at level 65, getting my shit pushed in quite badly after that.
Still having fun tho, thing I can say about most new games. Here's another fun game.
>>147515458

So, I went strider lvl10 > assassin lvl 55
Can I go ranger or magick archer without dropping DPS?
>>147536218
>How can I level up quickly?
Use Pilgrim's charm (sold by Fournival).
>>147536715
Play whatever class you want.
Use the Dragon's Dogma stat planner if you want to prepare your numbers in advance.
Just remember to get at least 400 def and 250 magic def for survivability.
Don't think about DPS too much, think about what you want to play first.
>>147536769
Can I buy it from it without the king's guard chasing me around ?
>>147537250
No, but that means you may be in post-game.
In that case, you can finish the game and clear BBI while in NG+. You will also have a new pinata to hit for XP, wakestones and bucks.
>tfw your thicc busty strong amazoness pawn will never pulverize your hips with her muscular body and demand more when you can barely walk
>>147536218
Pilgrim's charms and Weal equipment (I believe most of that is sold by Montebank) will both double your exp, and I think they're multiplicative with one another. Grind high exp bosses like Gazer in BBI if you really want to grind.
Alternately, you can replay some of the early areas of BBI to get BBI armor and weaps level 1 and 2. That should boost your stats to the point where the right party should really be able to force their way through.
>>147536715
Magick Archer plays well with either high attack or high magick attack, but keep in mind that dagger skills rely almost entirely on your attack stat, while magick bow skills rely almost entirely on your magick attack.
>>147537250
>>147537772
Yes, he can. Fournival visits Mountebank during day, usually around noon. Guards only attack you in the noble district.
>>147541834
>I think they're multiplicative with one another
No, they both grant Weal which is a status effect and you can't have the same status effect active more than once at the same time.
Weal does stack with Hard Mode, giving you 4x exp.
