tooooooo bad posted:They didn't actually have it. If you walk up to the female bandit chief without any male pawns in your group (unless you're male yourself I guess) she'll tell you that another bandit group near the Witchwood entrance has it. Or you can do what I did and hire a pawn with knowledge of the quest (well, it was luck more then anything else, since I didn't deliberately hire a pawn for that), who turned around and said "Forsootheth, mayhaps one might venture forth to yonder castle" and off I went. Also, I was poking around that castle north of the capital and I found a glowing bird nest that I couldn't interact with. What's that all about?

Bought the game on a whim tonight, played for about 4 hours, liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Went mage, enjoying the heck out of blasting things. Haven't found it to be too difficult so far, I'm level 15 and the only time I've died was in Everfall. I'm rolling with a tank pawn and one hired hand. My only problem is that I'm burdened, wearing cloth and rags puts me at half endurance... there goes my pack-rat tendencies! My main pawn is a big bruiser named Tusk. He's dumb but he gets the job done. Show him some love!

Can we share photos of our pawns up in here? I'm self-obsessed and mad that no one is renting my bird lady pawn after I spent so much effort making her in to a bird lady: On a different note: The arrival of the dragon at the end of the greatwall quest is awesome. For some reason I really like the dragon, he just seems so gentlemanly when he's talking to you.

I said gently caress that, so I killed him, and then Selene and my character had sex by the fireside. Nothing is just a friendship in Dragon's Dogma

RentACop posted:Something about this dumb plot is really sinking into me and making me enjoy it unironically. On the other hand, a story can have a bunch of really cool ideas and themes and still be boring as paint. I remember one scifi I read about this planet of goo beings by Asimov that I just. could. not. care about. On a slightly different note, I really love reading about everyone else's little awesome or hilarious anecdotes. Just today, I got ambushed by an Armored Cyclops near Heavenspeak Fort (the one with the man-hating bandit lady). I struck it with lightning, and broke off a tusk. It stood there looking like someone just spilled coke on its prom dress, then flipped its poo poo and rampaged right off the side of a cliff. And took one of my rental pawns with him, because DD is a cruel mistress. Drizvolta posted:Nothing is just a friendship in Dragon's Dogma

I genuinely have no idea how romances are supposed to work in this game, because I am a terminal explorer and would rather wander the countryside rather than save the world from El Draco Hispanico. There's no gender restrictions on any of that. Also I saw some posts from a fellow who had two people move into his house, though in that situation how the game decides who to pick for the ending, no idea Affinity as a whole seems poorly documented, even the guide just goes "raise affinity with gifts and quests!". Incidentally regarding the guide, the chests do the loot table roll for the item inside them as they are opened, so you can save scum for the rarer loot. I'm not going to do that cause that's tedious

Since I changed my pawn Marcus (has anyone hired him? he has long flowing locks and a goatee) to a ranger, his performance reviews have been way down. Maybe it's unavoidable when you change someone from a magic class to a non-magic class or vice versa. By the way does anyone own a pawn named Red, who doesn't wear much clothes but has a really big hammer? For some reason I always see her wandering around town.

Did you get rid of her daggers so she has to use her bow, Sanders? I imagine the targeting priorities make a big difference, too, for archers. Not that I could say which would be best-- challenger, maybe?

Don't try to figure out why people are/aren't renting your pawn, there's literally no logic to it. My level 27 warrior has been rented out like 2-3 times by people for a grand total of ~1,000 RC, never gotten any items or comments, and is rated 3 stars in everything. My level 4 fighter pawn on my other account that is literally the default player model with the default gear (because I just made it to try sending items back and forth) has been rented out about a dozen times, has 4 stars in everything, and has earned that account about 50,000 RC. People are weird.

Do I answer yes or no to this question to get my pawn to say less stuff: "I try to speak or remain silent as the situation demands. Would you have me continue this way?" edit: It seems the answer was "No". Also, does the amount of stuff I'm carrying effect my stamina or anything like that?

How much does the stuff for sale improve when you do main quests? How many do I have to do before it improves? I'm starting some now for the knight for the first time at level 25 and I'm still using the magic bow from the shop fully enhanced because I've not found anything better yet. I'm looking forward to wiping out full groups of goblins with a single hunter bolt. I've only got 2 bow skills currently since I don't really like the look of the ricochet shot or flare shot. I kind of wish I could get some form of full bend that I still got to aim since I love knocking people off cliffs using it as a strider. I'll have to wait for explosive shot. Also what augments would people recommend for magic archer? I think I need to change classes for a while to pick some up Jose fucked around with this message at 11:04 on May 27, 2012 |

Strider has some decent Augments, mostly stamina related stuff. And I think sorcerer has +magic damage.

This game. I started the mission where you had to retake the fort from the goblin chieftain. There's this one part where you're supposed to avoid a large battle, grab a lever, plug it into a switch and open the gates so the Duke's soldiers can swarm in and help you clear out the enemy. Thing is...I didn't notice the little side area with the lever, so I ended up rushing headfirst into a courtyard swarming with goblins. It was me and three pawns (including, I think, Zereth's) in a midnight battle against two cyclops and an army of goblins. Ice spikes, bolts of lightning and freaking meteors flew everywhere while the melee units hacked away at the cyclops' knees and explosive arrows rained from the sky. By the time the fight was finally over, the sun had started to rise. The only thing missing was a bard singing about the battle in the tavern a week later...

Tgent posted:Do I answer yes or no to this question to get my pawn to say less stuff: Yes makes him more verbose, no makes him shut up. I kind of feel like inclination is becoming the most important part of selecting pawns. While a Fighter and a Ranger both with Guardian inclination (protects the Arisen) maybe sounds like a good idea, in practice they kind of don't attack much. Like ever. Having them both hang out right next to you is beneficial and cool in a way, but not when you're trying to kill an Ogre and they're just standing near you and not attacking.

People seem to mostly only want fighters or mages. I'd mostly get 3 star ratings with a near perfect warrior pawn that I dumped a ton of points into. When I switch to a half assed fighter that isn't even using mastered skills, I start getting 5 star ratings. My friend has his pawn in the top 20 or so, and he always changes his pawn to fighter before resting at an inn, because its one of the most desired classes. He has over 8 million RC and gets constant friend requests, so apparently its working. Though he also puts a ton of effort into him and pretty much perfected the AI & best skills for that AI. Strider/ranger pawns can be awesome but most of them just don't seem to perform that well and its really difficult to find a good one. I haven't changed mine to one of those classes yet so I've yet to find a good combo for them. But looking at the details of the pawns I've hired, most people are playing various strider classes themselves. So its mostly tanks, mages & sorcerors that they want.

If the Primary is something like Scather, then the pawn actually engages the enemy. Then, if one of them targets the PC, the pawn usually intercepts them before they get too close.

Can you get some sort of mount because holy poo poo it takes forever to reach different areas, I don't mind that much but when I have multiple quests that take me to the far corners of the world, it gets old fast. Nighttime should be renamed, "Can't see poo poo time" I do like the fact that stronger beasties roam the world, but I don't like getting constantly jumped by millions of Wolves and Zombies who spawn outside behind a tree I can't see, even with everyone holding a lantern its still hard to see what's happening. Other than this though, its great fun.

So the best thing just happened in The Everfall. I was fighting the first Ogre, and after a fairly long battle, he ended up frenzy-ing himself off the edge of the path, while I was mounted on his back. We plummeted for a couple floors before I jumped off blindly behind myself, just barely catching the edge of the stone path and planche-ing onto it. Thus cementing this game in my memories forever.
