I cringe so hard at the idea of every two-chinned creepoid meticulously crafting the sliders of his perfect original waifu, controlling every aspect of his demure cyber-bride's demeanor and looks, just as it should be for all women.

Don't think this doesn't apply to you, goons.

God drat, I just played the post game dungeon for a few hours and literally every single pawn I saw wandering around the place was a tiny female mage or sorceress. What the hell.

I did the Pawn Guild basement quest and got invited to do some Wyrm Hunt. Is this the main quest now? When do I start finding Chimeras and Griffins and stuff? I've fought some Ogres and Cyclops but none of the other big bads yet. Also what's this talk of forgeries? Is there a map of the city anywhere or vendors in the world? It's pretty confusing, though one of the better cities I've seen in a game.

The Wyrm Hunt is not really a thing you do so much as a banner under which you do stuff for the Duke's monarchy, you talk to the guy and he'll give you a choice between four or five different quests. Other big monsters are already around, you'll start finding them when you do v:v:v

The forgery shop, The Black Cat, is down in the residential area. There are two other vendors in the area, one of which is unmarked (but across the street from The Black Cat), I believe.

It's a flask of water. That common item you find everywhere and can get really drat easily.

What the hell is with the quest when you meet the Duke's wife in her bedchambers? What happens if you beat the Duke's rear end while he's choking his wife out? I quit after the gameplay was ushered in after the cut scene because I didn't want to gently caress my game up by being a horrible kingslayer.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

It warms the cockles of my heart to get back notes on my pawn like "was our finest warrior," and "felled many beasts."

I think giving him a giant hammer was my best decision so far.

Ah, ok, she specified water "in a proper flagon, naturally" so I figured that meant if I handed her a flask I'd run into trouble.

I interrupted him, it did not go well for me, in a way I was not expecting. What happens if you do it the other way?

edit: also I was amused that it plays out identically if you have a female main character, or indeed if she has a mohawk and looks like one of the raiders in the Fallout games. The duchess isn't picky I guess.

I'm not sure. I'll need to log back on and try it out. I kind of got the feeling the developers intended for you to interrupt. I'll try waiting it out.

What happened when you interpreted the Duke's re-imagining of his favorite Berserk scene?

The duchess, thinking of her own safety, accused my character of attempting to rape her and I got thrown in the dungeon. It was easy enough to get out but still she's a jerk.

To me this doesn't jive with you saying it's like Dark souls, I assume as a positive. One reason DS and this are good is because of how little they guide you.

Well, there's a difference between how they telegraph what you need to do. In Dark Souls, you know you have to go ring the bells and have three discrete paths to start down. You might not know exactly where they are (though you have an idea) but you know what you need to do.

In this you get to the city and it's like "Uh. Well, here's the city. Go do quests or something, I guess? Oh, by the way. This game has quests. You should probably find some"

I can't work out what the gently caress I'm meant to be doing in this game, and not even in a Dark Souls kind of way. At least there I just knew I was poo poo and had to get better, once I get to the capital in this I have absolutely no idea where I'm supposed to go. Taking an escort quest across the map either gets me entirely raped by lizardmen and bandits at level 10, going into the pawn guild's giant hole in the ground gets me utterly destroyed by some kind of werewolf that I can't do any damage to. My weapons seem to do sfa damage to absolutely anything I try to fight and my pawns die nigh-instantly to everything with a pulse (and a lot of stuff without).

It was great up to and including the hydra fight, but now I'm really just stuck without any idea of where to go, what to do or even where to earn cash to buy weapons :(

You guys' memory must be bad in regards to Dark Souls, that's just the way it is in that game too. I've been watching my friend play it for the first time recently and he was just as bamboozled and overwhelmed and felt like every way to go was the wrong way.

drat. Just met the Duchess and even though I'm playing a female character, that entire scene was just telegraphing a romance right there. Wonder if it actually pans out or if it's just a thing.

Also, for the beginning of the quest The Conspirators, the dude is not showing up in the marked place at night. Do I just stick around and wait, or is the marked place actually wrong?

Once you get past Firelink and into the Parish you're fine though, since there's only a couple of paths to go from there. This is literally a 360 degree map of confusion with no indication of appropriate levels or difficulty, and the only enemies I can find that I can kill without too much trouble is a bunch of bandits right outside the capital. Anything further out is basically instant death, and there's not even really a central storyline quest to guide you along the semi-recommended route :smith:

If you just want to get out of there then there's a path north of her hut (as in, you can kind of see it from her hut, it's in the corner of that clearing in front of her house) that takes you to right outside Cassardis.
