Tips:
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.

Fucking stupid quest if anything
>>148256796
You had already jumped out from behind cover at that point without a disguise, it was too late for a lie like that.
You could argue "But she should have told you to do that before you went to hide" but you two were panicking at that point. It's not on her shoulders any more than it's on the Arisen's shoulders.
>>148256784
Nonsense, he has the soul of a poet. He should start a band.

You can blame the programmers instead for this shittily designed half-baked quest then.
>escape the dungeon
>i can literally walk past the duke back into his bedchamber to Aelinore again
It's not really her fault that this whole quest was unfinished from the start.
How hard it is it to make a mod that swaps models? Or just outright removes an enemy from the game?
>>148257925

>>148258206
Also, I want to add that I still don't even think I'm wrong in her analysis, even though you seemed to think that I was saying otherwise earlier. Like I said here >>148255238 her lying to get off the hook is even more retarded because it's such an obvious as fuck bullshit that the duke didn't believe for a moment.
She didn't need to be some kind of mastermind to come up with the idea. "If I pretend I didn't know he was here, it'll buy me enough time to free him later, since there's no way we can talk our way out of this." How is that some kind of masterplan that requires genius intellect?
>>148258745
I remember you, you're the halfeling who rented my pawn Octavia.
Funny thing, I remember how you were level 20 or so when you said you would pick her up. Then you're level 64 and I still hasn't killed Grigori.
Funny how time flies.
When is a good time/level to start doing Bitter Black Isle?
>>148258285
>How hard it is it to make a mod that swaps models?
Not hard at all. Just 2 files to replace and rename. A few others to put at the right place. 1 to edit and repack everything
>Or just outright removes an enemy from the game?
You will have to edit a file for every place said enemy appears.
>>148257242
I feel like kidnapping some pawns and taking pics. Time will tell.
>>148259662

But to be an absolute story perfectionist, you should go into NG+ and then take on BBI.

I keep dicking around way too much.
>>148259880
Neat, thanks. Hopefully I don't break my game trying to do it.
>>148257242
>>148260838
Just don't forget to make a backup of whatever you edit.
And no, you won't break your game. At worst, it will just crash. Replacing the edited .ARC by the normal will correct any error.

Old lady detected.
Is arc or deliverance literally the only reason to play warrior? One-shotting bosses with it is so satisfying, but other than that it's objectively the worst class
>>148265556
Points for effort anon, she's named for Shakespeare's Perdita since the arisen is technically a lost child. Her colouring is based on fairies and changlings not corpses.
Even if I was naming her after the latin word for 'loss' I'm still not sure how that's edgy. Seems fitting to me.
>>148265923
Pls be gentle with her.

Aestella is SHORTER than Selene.
And she's an adult too.
>>148267223
Sadly she just has this one line of dialogue.
But honestly, just for the good laught and the fact that my big barbarian arisen fell in love with a girl half his height just because he bought a big and sharp sword from her is really endearing.
The game continue to surprise me even after all those years in way I'd never guessed.

>>148267638
Selene is just looking at her like "seriously, Arisen?"
I'm finally at Daimon, level 110 Magick Archer. I've been having lots of trouble with my stamina ever since I started. I feel like I gotta wait a minute for my stamina to fully replenish and the only reason I'm using curatives is to get stamina back too..
>>148268181
Im not sure Magic Knight/Sorcerer was much better.
>>148268406
I gave Selene SHROOMS and the fucking Arisen Bond itself to lock her as my beloved, but apparently Aestella was n°1 in my Arisen heart.No worries, I'll make her my waifu in NG+

Yeah, romance system is a bit retarded tbqh.
The fact that there is an item that "When gifted to another, it seals his or her bond - and fate - to the Arisen" and yet it DOESN'T really guarantee that you get him/her as beloved is just dumb.
Grigori doesn't know shit about humans, the last person you speak to is not necessarily the one you care about the most, what the fuck.
>>148270223
It's beyond just a bit retarded because on top of what you said, you have to lock yourself out of certain quests just to prevent them from becoming a beloved.
>>148270084
>>148266737
I don't believe you, there's no way along with the eyepatch you accidentally made something that edgy while actually intending a perfectly innocent Fairy Sue.
>>148270710
>>148270084
How do you take close up screenshots like these?
>>148271243
Probably Cheat Engine free camera table.
It's the only way I know to do that.
>>148270770
You can believe whatever you want anon. I mean just look at her. What an edgelord
>>148271243
Most basic thing is Assassin's Lyncean Sight for close up, Ranger's Comet Shot for EXTREME closeup.
Other moves can be used to cancel these moves saturate the screen with color or to bring pawns back into focus.
You have to fight with the game itself and have good timing to get a good shot, it's pretty addictive.
>>148271932
>not having an edgelord
>>148270427
Effluvium, man. I did every major "beloved" quest and got Mercedes my first play-through. You just have to go out of your way to make bitches hate you is all.
>>148257242
I'm not sure what I messed up trying to change leapworm models into something more innocuous, but whatever it was has caused them to just stay buried in the ground forever.
I think I can live with this result, until it causes a catastrophic error of some sort at least.
>>148272486
Yeah, but most people won't know to do that on their first playthrough unless they look it up.
http://julien-schu.tumblr.com/tagged/screenshot-tricks
Here's some stuff you can try.
>>148271932
I mean, I'd still fuck her senseless, I'd just probably sustain a pretty serious dick injury in the process.
>>148272486
On the first playthrough how can you make your Beloved who you want WITHOUT going to BBT?
I dont really want to go there before finishing maingame but reading about how the system works im worried i get someone i dont want to, hell worst case scenario i get Fournival because even he's all "sugoii Arisen-chan so kawaii uguu~" when she's around.
>>148276087
Just focus on the one you want and don't worry about it if you fuck up. Chances are you won't but if it happens it's usually worth a laugh.
>>148277167
>Chances are you won't but if it happens it's usually worth a laugh.
Yeah, i'l just take my changes. Planning to replay and eventually hard mode this shit up anyway so it's no big deal as long as i dont get Fournie-kun.
>>148276087
You can also lower affinity in other ways, though effluvium is the safest way to do it without going too far and making them flee. Physical damage is the big one, but supposedly unsheathing your weapon repeatedly next to an NPC will lower their affections, as will picking them up, throwing them, and bumping into them while sprinting.
>>148271932
A face so evil and edgy it even makes a grown Neph break down into tears.
Are there mods for HUEG tits on the PC version?
I don't remember, was Beatitude a desireable augment for a Mage?
It says it prolongs the duration of healing sigils, but does that mean they won't be able to cast them in a row as much?
aught
>>148286783
of use
>>148279736
Even though the game is on PC, it disappointingly has not that much modding capability due to the way how Capcom packs the game up. So yeah, no beautiful Skyrim bodies sadly. There's a nude mod though which is just a texture replacement.
gonna do a max possible magic attack playthrough, what should my pawn be?
i'm torn between maxing out HP fighter>warrior>fighter, def 100% fighter or doubling down with the magic attack mage>sorc>sorc
>>148289827
>beautiful Skyrim bodies
>>148291359
Y-you know what I mean.
is there a way to make the AI less retarded?
I'm fighting skeles and I do no damage, unless they give me holy weapons.
when i see them cast some shitty fire spell instead of giving me holy weapons on highest priority, its just kinda frustrating.
>>148292114
If you didn't mean "I'm a pathetic nerd with bad taste" then no, I'm afraid I don't.
>>148292534
Pretty fucking rude, you big idiot.
This is a no bully zone.
>>148292534
I don't mean vanilla Skyrim bodies, god no. I mean Dogma won't have mods equivalent to Skyrim's body mods like UNB or CBBE as much as I hate to say it.
>>148292878
I knew you meant mods. Everything I said stands.
>>148292190
Try it with a Utilitarian inclination, or press your "Help!" hotkey
>>148293318
thanks, using the help command makes them cast buffs out of combat, which is what i wanted in the first place
>>148295490
Make sure you hire Mages with the relevant augments, so you won't need them to re-buff so frequently.
>>148295592
im still relatively early in the game (catacombs) on my first playthrough so Im not sure how many people have the relevant augments at this level.
>>148295685
Right... it's probably hard to find Mages with maxed out vocation at that level range, and the "Pact" version of buffs comes from a BBI ring if I recall correctly.

Why won't nun Clarus give me the quest?
I gave Quinas flower to a priest and I have killed the Griffin, and I have just gotten into my first skirmish with Salomet.
>>148304247
Sorcerer pawn doesn't have enough bestriry knowledge yet (doesn't know ghosts are weak to holy). You could try the sorcerer and cast holy on a few ghosts yourself, and she'll pick it up

Goddamn, I am not looking forward to future fights if this is the norm. How do I improve my situation? Should I just turn off hard mode when I'm at the island?
>>148304443
I find ricochet arrow with magic Archer works well
>>148304412
Are Phantasms and Phantoms separate in bestiary knowledge? She seemed to cast it just fine when I was up against Phantoms. Either that or the buff lingered shortly after the fight with a Wight a couple minutes prior to shooting Phantoms with a holy-buffed Longbow.
>>148304750
I think so. Phantasms are more powerful than the ... the other one. Or maybe the other way around? But they are different
>>148304443
>ng+
even in hard mode, if you picked up at least BBI lvl 2 weapons they shouldnt be that bad, hard mode or no. You running acuity and/or attunement?
>>148304867
Damn. Guess I'll just take a closer look at bestiary knowledge next time I hire pawns to explore places I haven't been.
>>148304904
Neither to both, I have yet to grind out the proper augments from Sorcerer and Assasin. Should I start working on that? And it doesn't help that I'm running Magick Archer after levelling up a warrior and fighter for a few dozen levels. Should I just swap to Assasin/Ranger?
>>148305123
Strength based magic archer is pretty insane, and usually gear and augments are the main damage dealer. I would just avoid the condemned goreclopes until you get geared. I feel like they were meant to be a retard magnet anyway, especially on hard.
Either that or cheese them through the doorway/ledge for 6 hours, but that's no fun.

I once threw Mason at a nun accidentally. Both Mason and the nun survived
>>148306356
...how do you accidetally throw Mason at a nun?
>>148305306
I think I'll just swap to Assasin and Ranger for now and swap to MA once I've got decent amount of stat growth via Sorcerer later on.
>>148306415
I only wanted to throw Mason at my pawn, who would catch him. I wanted to see if I could train my pawn to play catch, with Mason as the ball.
But a nun wanted to help Mason from our bullying, I guess
>>148306356
Well yeah, the nun didn't have any sharp edges.
>>148306539
>who would catch him
Oh my god is this actually a fucking thing
>>148306539
>>148307028
It is, and I actually forgot it was until I read that post. You can totally play catch with your pawn.
>>148307028
Yes. It's typically how people who believe in pawn training try to train their pawns to catch you from a fall.
It's also kinda fun.
>>148307469

>play as a female arisen

>>148307724
You're not being homophobic, are you?
>>148307469
What's some other dank shit you can train pawns to do? I've read that the AI is actually really sophisticated, but they learn from your actions so they always end up stupid.
>>148307724
Everyone in Gransys is a bisexual, apparently.
Either that or the Arisen is just so incredibly charming it doesn't matter what you like.
>>148307990
>the Arisen is just so incredibly charming it doesn't matter what you like
Charming, and also a living legend who commands a legion of followers and kills dragons and stuff. He's practically a demigod.
>>148307724
A girl can love another girl too, right?
>>148309946
That leaves me wondering: some NPCs mention that other Arisens went to Gran Soren, but they were rude and not particularly helpful.
Were they impostors or were they just shit Arisens? I imagine if someone showed up claiming to be Arisen but had no pawns with him they would just tell him to fuck off.
>>148310327
It's obviously a bunch of people who only wanted free stuff.
Like how nowadays, people will claim that they are movie producers or headhunters
I've played a warrior to post-game and I've played a sorc to post-game but got bored to finish bitterblack island.

There's good money in pawn fights, especially when you're the arisen.
late night pawn bump
>>148312284
Anon pls no, my heart can't take that right now.
Someone post the aunt arisen.
I've been dicking around with my full sorcerer /w caged fury and damn does that staff become bad in post game.
In Everfall and bbi there isn't enough room to dodge attacks and every gust of wind, and a single hit means you deal next to no damage until you regain the charges.
Even worse when you have full charges and get hit by a attack, losing all stamina and left vulnerable for attack. That usually means 1hit since full sorc.
I'm probably gonna swap to a regular staff.
>>148315083
You could try augments to lessen the impact of losing your stamina or gusts of wind. I like playing with the novelty weapons too so I feel your pain. You could try a debilitation staff?
>>148312284
>>148314834
I tried to look this up and every result was just bluemoon tower and shit.
Pls post.
>>148312284
>>148314834
>>148316579
>>148317385
What even happens when you kys at the end instead of sitting down, does your pawn give you the soul/life thing back it got from you to revive you?
>>148317486
>>148315512
if you mean with debilitation staff rusted weapons and alike, I use rusted staff.
Too bad changing weapons null the charges, though it's pretty good if I'm getting hit without chance to evade it.
>>148317740

Even in the main game there are mentions of other Gransys villages and towns. Nettie, the barmaid in Gran Soren, comes from a town in the far north of Gransys, probably in the wasteland you see when you fly with Grigori.

If the cutscenes and story presentation weren't so cringy and bad (as well as the main menu theme holy fuck), it would have attracted a lot more people. I dropped the game once and gave it second chance when it was on sale for some reason and am glad that I did but by far not everyone does that

Well shit, I'm 300k RC richer and my pawn has 2-3 star knowledge in pretty much everything at level 4. This is rather unexpected.

Eh, writers like him were a dime a dozen.

Stability should protect you from wind, grit makes the exhausted animation far shorter, and a single cast of miasama should get you back up to full charge. Also snagging the two physical defense augments from rank 1 warrior / mystic knight helps a lot for survivability. You could also try slapping a bunch of group stamina items on your pawn and giving it the medicant inclination.
I used that staff a lot in one play through, too. It's pretty fun and I enjoyed the challenge.
>>148326945
That doesn't negate his point.
>>148327287
>Stability should protect you from wind
But it should still count as hit, right? That would mean soon as you get hit from wind you lose all your charges and stamina, forced to wait w/ grit or eat a 'shroom.
Getting perks from different classes is a pain though since only sorcerer levels allowed.
Also I'm playing in hard mode so getting hit means death with my no armor and hp.
>>148327509
You're in post game now right? Just climb up on the wall outside the church and farm guards. Stack discipline boosts and you max out vocations very quickly and you can just ferrystone to gran soren before you gain a level easily because the guards are worth so little.
The defensive augments get boosted in hard mode, they actually help out a shitload and become even more useful there. Heck I'm surprised you went as far as you did without them - they are both rank 1 augments so you can grab them at any time without putting squat into warrior or MK.
As for if wind will still count as a hit or not, I'm actually not sure. I didn't bother even trying it until way later, but it has been super useful on my current run. You don't react to wind at all so at the very least you are free to set up your counter right away and you aren't stun locked. Most wind attacks have huge animations that leave the enemy wide open if you can ignore them for the duration.
I am going to build a 4 sourcerer party. Can someone gift me wyrmking rings to make this work?
My pawn is Syncia lv89 ranger. She's actually a magic build but I am lvling her as ranger for stamina.
>>148328458
I have a spare I can gift when I get home if you don't mind waiting a hour or two.
Where's the best places to put my first 5 Portcrystals? I'm getting conflicting information but so far the 3 I've got are in Shadow Fort, Ruins of Aernst Castle and the most Northern healing spring.
>>148307903
I think they can learn from you evading the tripwire traps if you JUMP over them instead of just going around.
The moment i started deliberately jumping over them they did the same but going around they just ran through like morans.
Started the game as stryder and switched to ranger at level 11. Is it viable? I'm not a min-maxer.
>>148329883
If you don't care about min-maxing then everything is viable.
There's some helpful augments/skills in Strider though, so you may want to max the vocation first to see what it offers.
>>148307724
I cant take her quest-chain and it's events seriously at all when playing lo...*halfling grill.:^)
>>148323825
>as well as the main menu theme holy fuck
literally what is wrong with Eternal Return? I could understand this complaint about Into Free, but not Eternal Return.
>>148330049
Allright then, if I understood correctly min-maxing would require playing as what you like only after 100+ levels on other jobs so it feels beside the points to me. The game doesn't look that difficult anyway.But it's really comfy.
>>148326945
And behold, the garden variety hipster, who will take any opportunity given him to shit on something because it is popular and other people like it in a misguided attempt to be quirky or unique- Even when no qualitative statement has been made previously and nobody cares about his opinion, which is entirely irrelevant to the discussion.
>>148329663
I had one at each rest camp and one at the Witchwood exit.
>>148329883
Ranger gets pretty much just plain better stat growths than Strider (which already gets some of the more solid gains in the game if you aren't going for a min/max build of either magic or strength), and every class is viable to actually play as, even warrior in BBI if you hate yourself. So basically the answer is yes, very.
Strider gets basically the strongest dagger skill (brainsplitter) and does like 2/3 more damage with climbing attacks than every other class as well as getting a few other neat tricks (including one bow skill that is on-par with some of Ranger's bow skills), but Ranger gets a lot of really cool and satisfying bow skills, it's my second favourite class easily. Be careful with stamina management though, especially early on. Using the longbow eats stamina absurdly fast.
>>148330363
Didn't notice this post before I posted >>148330687 but on the topic of minmaxing, I recommend against it for the reason you stated and also because you'll probably want to try out several different classes at some point, and minmaxing generally means dropping one of your attack stats in favour of the other, which can make this a pain. Ranger, however, gets solid magic growth and slightly better attack growth, so you should be equipped just fine to switch to whatever later. It also gets the highest stamina growth, and stamina is, in my opinion, the most important stat besides the primary attack stat of any given vocation.
>>148330296
It make my ears bleed.
I never heard Into Free before. It doesn't exactly fit but I don't hate it.
>>148330892
>and stamina is, in my opinion, the most important stat
Amen, obviously you can negate Stamina by stocking shitloads of stamina potions/shrooms but that's just dull way to play the game and feels way too much like something you'd do in TES trying to autism it to the max.
Also running,RUNNING RUNNING EVERYWHERE so stam=love.
>>148329716
What do trip wires even do?
I used to avoid them. But when I ran through one the other day I didn't take damage or anything. So now I don't bother.
>>148330687
>second favorite class
out of curiosity, what is your favorite class and why?
>>148331047
Alert the enemies around to your presence and that's it and even in that it's kinda slow, some enemies just slowly go to where you tripped it while others like Saurians usually are like "eh fug it i'l just continue my beauty sleepenings and let the arisen hack my tail off"
>>148330892
I'll continue this way then thanks. Now I'm going to restart the game because I missed a quest in stage 1 like a champ.

Well no, it's going further with his first point and applying it to his lovecraft example. There was "lovecraft" before lovecraft, it was calledHalo
>>148331064
Magick Archer. It's just the most fun, flexible and versatile, and it often has the same sense sorcerer has of "holy shit that was cool," albeit a little less dramatic and satisfying than getting off a maelstrom and seeing your hair and clothes flap in the gale while your enemies are drawn into it from all around you. I'd like it even more if it had some skills that didn't home or some sort of gimmick that could make it more like a bow. Sometimes I feel a little bad since I'm pretty sure from my experience with each vocation that it's also the strongest in general and only really matched by Strider sometimes, but it can still be challenging if you gear down so whatever.
>>148335492
Lord Dunsany was Lovecraft before Lovecraft :^)
At what stage/level ingame having caster pawn around solely for healing reasons becomes redundant or will they still have use as poison/curse etc removars with the occasional heel?
Or is it just autism by some "hardcore"-players who'd rather go to inventory menu and chuck antidote/healing item and instead of support-caster bring another deeps with them?
>>148336650
Also about casters, what's the difference between Mages and Sorcerers exactly?
>>148336778
Mages have support spells, Sorcerers have nukes.
Hard mode pays for my upgrades and it feels good man.
Disco is Level 41 Mage if you need her
So what's the best/most useful elemental magic in this gaem?
Also magic weapons, should one use them full time even if they're of attack stat is way higher due to playan physical classes onry if the combined stats are better than on pure physical weapons?
Or just carry one or 2 elemental weapons in addition to they're of main wepun for some bigger monsters that are very weak against them like say how Griffins are against Fire?
Also those, aneled, poisoned, rusted and such?
>>148337889
Personally I never keep back ups for enchanted weapons. You could just keep a pawn handy for fire and holy buffs. Keeping multiple weapons isn't viable given the retarded low weight limits in this game.
I do always keep a rusted bow on me when playing yellows though. Topor is just awesome.
I have no context other than the guy on the left made me chuckle
>>148338637
>Keeping multiple weapons isn't viable given the retarded low weight limits in this game.
Yeah i'd thought as much even though im playan with daggerus~ that are generally quite light but still...
What's this Yellow though?
Any of the stats influence your climbing speed?
I could've sworn this was a lot slower 5~ levels ago but i havent changed my augments in the last 25~ levels nor do i have +climbing stuff equipped either.
This fight actually went okay, killed one of them, but then another put one of their nuke tentacles inside the wall
So how does the pawn rental system work here? I'd like for people to use my pawn but if I put it in the database how will people know to use it? I didn't think I'd ever get low on RC.
>>148340367
Your Pawn gets more RC the longer it's being rented
Your Pawn spawns with other random pawns around the same level as the person playing
Your Pawn can found by your steam username, and any steam friends you have can rent your pawn for free regardless of level.
>>148340367
>I'd like for people to use my pawn but if I put it in the database how will people know to use it?
They won't, post in thread.
>>148340367
Some good tips to get your pawn hired is to keep in mind the fashion aspect as in dont wear that DLC-crap, funny hat or skimpy bikini-shit(showing skin is okay if you do it in moderation) and obviously having a name that can imply the person searching for pawns that tis one aught be worth the summon.
Though... what do i know, i checked the top rated this month yesterday and there were several very low lvls with dragonforgs and skimpy shit at the top so maybe you better do just that.
>tfw so many cool classes but Sword and Board is still the most fun for me

It's oddly the opposite for me, i've been sworn sword'n board classer in almost every game it can be done but in DD i'd much rather double-jump around with daggers'n bow.

Need help fixing my pawn to become a good challenger and not let goblins fuck my shit up.
LVL 48, Warrior, name is Matadora.
Also need some RC to make my character not fat since I fucked up.
No slutty outfit or dlc shit, but I do need some armor for her
>>148342887
>>148344295
RC can also be used to change inclinations by buying inclination potions from the same guy that lets you change your appearance.
I need something to do anyway so I'll drag her through BBI.
>>148328458
Sent you the ring. I also sent you some pants for your pawn. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on some of her clothing choices and hoping you chose them for stats.
>>148292878
The Vanilla bodies are good enough when you fix the feet mesh, the textures are harder to find, but skywind and mature skin are the one i usually go with.
>>148344295
I'll take a look at her, I like dressing up pawns.
>>148344295
Are you sure those details are correct anon? I don't see her in the rift.
>>148344295

Same here, cannot find her. Rest at an inn to make sure you've uploaded her to the rift.

Well dont make them burly and muscular then... though then they'l just end up as shotaswhich isnt bad either :333
>>148338637
Make a huge character and the weight limits are a non issue. Seriously, a huge character can carry over twice as much weight as a small one. Especially with augments even a fully armed warrior or fighter will count as very light.
>>148346932
With sinew even a min weight character can stay at very light with ease.
>>148342887
>>148345882
I just did, so hopefully she appears now
>>148346932
The game really should have an option to search pawns based on their body+inclinations so you could search some big fatso with that looting as 2nd incl for a packmule.
>>148347539
Still not seeing her.May be a dumb question but you're in online mode right? And haven't cheated to edit your pawns or used mods to change how classes level or something?
Has someone made these two as an Arisen+Pawn group?
If not I might try it, just dunno who should be the arisen.
I advanced thorough halfway of BBI, but I just killed grigori for the first time. I was thinking of clearing everfall, but I heard oing so will reset BBI.
Is this true or it only applies AFTER you have cleared BBI for the first time?
