It does make sense for some human enemies to be high-level badasses like you are, but the game really needs a way for you to identify them before you hit them and they lose one pixel of life.

Well it's always the same bandits. I once got hit by one of those downward stabs from a bandit and it hit me for over 1400 health. It was such a weird moment.

Overemotional Robot posted:How do you change personality traits? The only two I've ever seen available to me are Challenger/Scather. Additionally, your pawns will tend to copy you, os if you run around mid-combat picking flowers, you should very much expect that your pawn will start trying to do the same poo poo..! The rest of it I gleaned from here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/626514-dragons-dogma/62862300 quote:Gameplay Style : How you play the game will affect your pawn's inclination. quote:Answer Using basically this stuff, I was able to train my fighter to be a Scather/Challenger very easily using nothing but "Go" when in combat, and "come/help" when riding on giant enemies (I never chased around archers, I just gave her one Challenger potion and it stuck), and she stayed that way for a full day, until I fed her a few potions to make her a Challenger/Nexus, instead. Potions tend to take one to put a skill in the secondary slot, and two or three to get it into the primary slot.. I suspect that they're percentiles or something, so continuing to push their primary trait consistently, will probably reinforce it and keep it from "slipping". coyo7e fucked around with this message at 23:30 on May 29, 2012 |

Yeah, I tried to do the "Escort Selene to the Healing Spring" quest, and I'd pretty much come to the point where I was like "Heh, bandits  " and then they murdered Selene and sent me running straight into a pack of Direwolves. It was a pretty healthy serving of humble pie.

I grabbed the Monster Hunter weapons pack just a bit ago, here's a list of everything included. You get one of each automatically placed in your storage and if you need extra copies, they're sold at the Black Cat. Hellfang Type: Shield Vocation: Fighter/Assassin Strength: 23 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 114 Knockdown Power: 114 Effective against beastly animals Zombiebane Type: Magick Shield Vocation: Mystic Knight Strength: 31 Magick: 64 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 117 Knockdown power: 117 Effective against undead Wounded Fury Type: Sword Vocation: Fighter/Mystic Knight/Assassin Strength: 78 Slash Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 107 Knockdown Power: 107 Effective against spirits Sickening Skull Type: Bludgeon Vocation: Mystic Knight Strength: 81 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 116 Knockdown Power: 116 Effective against skeletons Dragon's Flight Type: 2-handed longsword Vocation: Warrior Strength: 113 Slash Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 129 Knockdown Power: 129 Effective against dragons Cyclop's Bane Type: 2-handed hammer Vocation: Warrior Strength: 115 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 132 Knockdown Power: 132 Effective against cyclopses/giant monsters Saurian Bane Type: Daggers Vocation: Strider/Assassin/Magick Archer/Ranger Strength: 54 Slash Strength: 100% Stagger Power; 106 Knockdown Power: 106 Effective against lizards Griffinbane Type: Bow Vocation: Strider/Assassin Strength: 41 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 102 Knockdown Power: 102 Effective against griffons/flying monsters Hydra Husk Type: Longbow Vocation: Ranger Strength: 51 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 103 Knockdown Power: 103 Effective against hydras Metered Catharsis Type: Magick Bow Vocation: Magick Archer Magick: 49 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 103 KNockdown Power: 103 Effective against humanoids Goblin Bane Type: Staff Vocation: Mage/Mystic Knight/Magick Archer Strength: 13 Magick: 73 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 115 Knockdown Power: 115 Effective against goblins Evil Eyesight Type: Archistaff Vocation: Sorcerer Strength: 23 Magick: 118 Bludgeoning Strength: 100% Stagger Power: 136 Knockdown Power: 136 Effective against eye monsters Admittedly, on paper they don't look that great compared to gear you get once you're a way's in, and you can't upgrade them either. Will have to see just how much of a bonus they give.

So I guess the big question is: what happens when you gift a pawn with one? e2: I'm also curious about the Wyrmking ring. I kept it in my first playthrough and just got another one but I'm not currently playing a magic class so I can't really see if the effect stacks. Then again it would be pretty hard to measure anyway. I need to get my hands on like 5 more to see what will happen with all of them in inventory.

Gestalt Intellect posted:Somebody alphabetically sorted the first two rows of the goon pawn list which moved the header row to the middle and misaligned a bunch of other ones. Don't do that. Hopefully I wasn't the cause of that. I tried sorting it by alphabet but then undoed when I saw it screwed it up so I thought I was good. That was a couple of days ago though, so probably not me.

coyo7e posted:Using the DPad to order pawns in different circumstances, pushes them into certain tendencies. There's also a dude in the Encampment who sells potions for adjusting personality traits, he's right beside the riftstone. The FASTEST and easiest way to change traits is to buy the potions from the rift store. Hell just buy like 10+ of each and keep them in storage in case you ever feel like changing things around. The above methods to raise these things do work though. There was a point in the game in which I was running through long stretches of land and I kept using the "come" command because I was worried the pawns would fall behind and get chopped up or something, and later when I checked my main pawn's secondary inclination had become guardian from whatever it used to be. quote:e2: I'm also curious about the Wyrmking ring.

I read somewhere that two or more rings don't stack their effects, but I don't remember where. It's almost too bad you can't equip the ring, because I keep it on my pawn but people who rent her don't get the same benefit. Although she already has the sorc augment, so that's an extra.

So I did what the info box told me to do and got a wyrm, wyvern, and drake tear in my inventory at the same time, and the only effect I've noticed is that rare drops stop happening with any frequency at all. I guess it's okay if you really want wakestones for.. some reason.

Welp, looks like I'm taking Gnome Chompsky with me to the encampment to get some of that stuff. My previous lower level pawns and I just killed a dragon and then a griffon. It has been a good day. Does anybody else like to send a gift of what the pawn helped to fell when you send them back? I like the idea of someone getting their pawn back all low level and seeing "Was our finest warrior" and he's clutching a dragon's horn.

I wish they'd let you take anything out of your storage to gift to a pawn you're sending away. I always forget to take something special out, and I'm way too lazy to back out of the rift so I end up just giving something good that I have on me, which is usually just a party heal or something.

Weird. I hired my alt's pawn on my first character and equipped him with a cool cape and sent him back with the wyrmking's ring for my second character to use. My alt (the sorcerer) was on a second account. No ring and no cape in sight after sleeping at the inn  Anybody know what's up?

Completely unrelated, end-game spoilers: So yeah, that was a pretty interesting ending. I don't care for metaphysical nonsense, to be honest. I'm just simple and old fashioned and would have preferred it just be a good old tale of dragon slaying. That said, the ending was pretty good. Bioware should take notes on how to do that type of ending. Is the Ur-Dragon only available on post-game or can I go and do some more runs in NG+? Also, since there is a story reason for NG+, do you end up fighting your previous play-through's Arisen at the end of NG+ or is it the prologue guy again?

Switched things up and started levelling Strider after having played Mystic Knight for about 20 levels. Whole new game. I feel like I can say, without much hyperbole, that this game is (at least mechanically) one of the best RPG's I've played in a long time. It just nails how I feel old school D&D would translate into modern game technology. Basically if I could force the guys who put together the combat, character progression and monster design in this game to have sex/babies with the world designers/story guys over at Bethesda, I'd never be able to turn off my PS3.

NG+ spoilers etc. You can fight the Ur-Dragon whenever you want on a NG+ via a special Riftstone on the beach in Cassardis. At the end of a NG+, you'll fight a random Arisen instead of the Prologue guy. When I finished my second run, I ended up fighting some gigantic dude with a moustache in an Apollo Mask. Was likely a Japanese player due to the name, as well.

Teslavi posted:NG+ spoilers etc. Oh, that's interesting. It wasn't spelled out but I figured the Dragonforged was the guy from the prologue, but it still was a neat twist that the guy in the beginning succeeded instead of pussying out like the Duke did. I figured that the endless cycle stuff was that the dragon would always come back but not for the reasons presented and that your Arisin would break that cycle forever. Was interesting and pretty good, but I prefer my storybook, simple endings.

I hate Cockatrices. Anyway, had an interesting excursion today when I realised about halfway into the middle of nowhere that the reason my health was so low was that i'd accidentally picked up two sorcerors. A no-healing party is, apparently, reasonably effective, given that there's no downtime from murdering, but as you'd imagine you tend to use more herbs and the like. My pawn is getting continual across the board 4 star ratings though. It's good, really, but i'd obviously prefer higher. He's almost reached full Fighter proficiency, though, so I can switch him back into Warrior where he used to get higher reviews.

If anyone is trying to do the "Duchess in Distress" quest (the one that takes you into the blighted manse) it's apparently only doable after you accept the quest to go to the Greatwall but before you complete that quest  Once you do the Greatwall quest you can accept it but you immediately fail it. You still keep the item that lets you into the manse at least. Who knows what other quests are only available in that timeframe.
