Just carry a body. The pawns in the demo use that tactic and the game might or might not put the body down automatically for you (it does when you have to feed the ogre).

Fereydun posted:Stabbing yourself does kill you, that's why stabbing the previous Senechal with it kills them. That's why it's also called "Godsbane". The ending really is exactly what you were hoping it was going to be, which is why some of the big romancable options state that the "world feels different" during that last cutscene. Your character is actively denying the chain by stabbing themselves, removing "God" from the equation of life entirely. Remember that pawns become human like their owners after the owner gives them their soul- which is what your character does in the ending as a final gift to them by dying. Holy poo poo, you're right. I watched the ending again on youtube and the guy says exactly that. I guess the language they use threw me off. Looks like I was making issue over nothing. I was confusing the fact that he pulled the blade from his chest, so it made it seem like that was the key to becoming everlasting. It was one part visual disconnect and one part me misunderstanding. That puts a new view on all the previous quests for sure. I guess my only gripe now is that pawns take on your appearance when you give them your soul. That's just a bit too weird. Especially the ending I watched where the guy had a female arisen and a male pawn.

Jimbot posted:At the end, stabbing the sword through your chest doesn't kill you, it makes you immortal. It's why the previous guy pulled the sword from his chest and then was killed. Did you not pick up on the part where your pawn becomes you and whatever you were is gone? You are supposed to break the chain and pass the world on to your followers. Pretty much God is supposed to create the world and then leave it, removing interaction and providing free choice (your pawn is now the master).

It still bugs me that the Duke, who's now ancient says you cursed him, and you can do nothing to clear your name or even get a chance to explain yourself, or so I believe, its unfortunate the palace is basically locked off to you, due to the REALLY strong guards there.

If you max out your affinity with the Duke he starts saying the line "To challenge the Dragon is to challenge me." or something to that effect when you talk to him- it's kinda weird but I think that might explain it a 'lil more. There might be more dialogue from the inbetween states since I handed him my Arisen's Bond but generally it seems like his intentions are entirely based on not actually fighting the Dragon at all.

For me it was more simple, I was in a dungeon that one of my pawns had been through before and came to a locked door and the pawn was like "yeah I know where the switch for that is, follow me". That's when I realized that the pawn system was not like anything that had been done before.

I've been playing for a few days now and so far it's pretty incredible. Last night i fought my way through the withered forest, carving up exploding undead then hiding in the Abbey until dawn. Speaking of which, it's a little hard to explain but this game has the best Night/Day lighting i've ever seen. It genuinely feels like night whilst travelling around the wilderness and having the lantern light bouncing off the terrain. Most games, it just seems like the brightness has been turned down. Seeing the sun rise through the dead trees in the withered forest was one of the coolest, most evocative gaming moments i've ever experienced. Killing ogres is a loving chore though.

I walked into Ophis's room above the gate of her waycastle and she sent the entire bandit clan after me, so I just started chunking them over the side. Then I forgot to pay attention to a sorcerer in the back who hit me with an ice eruption that catapulted me over the edge of the parapet and then down the cliff. It was the most awesome death.

I was running around here earlier on my level 75 or whatever guy just loving around increasing my ranger skill. The bandits do zero damage to me but as I was jumping or something stupid I got hit with a bunch of arrows, went flying miles off the cliff and died. But I have like 40 wakestones so I just got back up. Love this game.

I had a great moment last night. Was fighting some harpies by a really steep hill next to a cliff, and got picked up by one. It starts flying towards the bottom of the hill (after picking me up from the top) so as I spin the left stick to break free I'm thinking about how screwed I am since the fall is definitely going to kill me. I break free and start plummeting, and about two-thirds of the way down another harpy swoops in and picks me out of mid-loving-air, saving my life. "Holy poo poo that was amazi--" it promptly flies over the edge of the cliff and throws me off of it and I fall to my death 100 feet below. "Well gently caress."

quote:Also, anyone care to post your "and then Dragon's Dogma really clicked with me moment"? I was fighting some goblins in the middle of a graveyard. I am a warrior and my main pawn is a fighter. My main pawn Vixen grabs the final goblin and goes "Strike now master!". Cut to me sprinting straight at the main pawn. There is a grave stone in front of me. My character hops on it automatically, I leap into the air so fluidly it looks like I put one foot on the gravestone and used it to help me leap. I soar through the air, click the heavy attack button and manage to put the tip of my Thousandlimbs right down the middle of the goblin, instantly killing him. Let my character use the full heavy leaping attack recover animation off that one too.

So I'm watching my friend play on his file and he enters the room to fight the Ur Dragon. The dragon flies off the moment my friend sets foot into the the arena and doesn't come back. We've tried entering and exiting the room, reloading a save and checkpoint save, and even disconnected from online and tried going in offline. What the hell?

Drakes use fire, Wyverns use.. purple stuff, and Wyrms use ice. Their hearts are also located in different places - the Drake's heart is on its chest, the Wyverns on its back, and the Wyrm's heart is in its stomach.

Pretty much God is supposed to create the world and then leave it, removing interaction and providing free choice (your pawn is now the master). In regards to the ending: I think you don't kill yourself. Perhaps it could be seen as discarding your physical shell in a sense. There are a couple of things that tip me off about this: 1. The way the final boss removes Godsbane from his chest in the same position (or close to it) that you stab yourself. Judging from his demeanor as well, if it was as easy as killing yourself I imagine he would've done so much longer ago. 2. In NG+ your Arisen becomes the Seneschal of another person's world. NG+ also refers to the eternal cycle. Could just be a silly reference but since DD seems to like the whole cycle thing... As an aside, Selene's story explains why your pawn becomes you. As a pawn travels with the master and learns more about the world, they become their master. A pawn is a fragment of the master's soul without any will of its own that slowly becomes human as time goes on. Selene was originally a pawn but gifted life by her master. Plus during the ending she directly says that your pawn is just like her, interestingly enough. I think the ending is ambiguous enough that there's a lot of different ways you could look at it.

Welp, I don't remember the generation but I hopped into the Chamber of Lament expecting death, and sure enough, Ur-Dragon had 0 health. I assume I got the killing blow. Got a couple Abyssinal pieces, Dwells-In-Light, and and a few other things, also a bajillion wakestones.
