Just bought the game, rolling as a strider at the moment. You guys weren't kidding about the screen tearing, drat. Also some parts of the game just look messed up, in particular everybody's eyes when showing any sort of emotion and the dragon itself. Still, it's pretty fun so far. The worst thing about it was the buttrock that played the first time I turned the game on. The pawn needs to learn when to shut up too. I'm trying to loot a house, don't announce it to everyone! There's no way to dodge or block as a Strider right? Just run and jump and get out of the way? I can't find a roll button so I'm guessing not.

Is your pawn automatically sent out to the pool for everyone to see or do you do something specific later in the game?

Kingtheninja posted:Picked this up today, and I'm not sure what to go with for body type. The vocations that interest me most are the strider/ranger and Warrior (for the bigass swords). My initial character build was made more for range, the S size. Will that hinder me too much as a warrior? Wait, this matters besides look? I went with a average/slightly buff build for strider, a little taller as well.

I remember someone way earlier in the thread saying you can craft using stored materials without going to get them or something. Is that true or should you keep certain things on your character?

Several times I'll pick something up and try to combine it with something I know I have in storage, but it'll say "...if you had the materials." Oh, I get it now, thanks. That makes more sense.

Am I basically ruining the game if I take pawns that are 30-40 levels higher than me, or does it not really matter? Because a few of my friends have 48-55 level pawns and I'd like to use them but not if it breaks the game at lower levels. e: Gamertag's RBA Starblade if anyone wants mine. Nothing special, just a large meathead to offset my archer.

Lotish posted:My friends list seems to be full now so I can't find your guy that way; what level is he? Chuft the level 8 Warrior. I've decided that since I appear to do jack poo poo in terms of damage so far as a strider (unless I'm stabbing a cyclops in the eye, holy poo poo), I'm cool with summoning my friend's level 48 pawn for free. I thought it'd be annoying but I actually really like the pawn system.

First time I tried, I pecked at it with my bow until it crushed me in two hits. The second time I went "gently caress it", crawled up to its head, and stabbed it in the eye until it died. Then I found a little feathered cap to put on my head so now I look like Robin Hood.

If you turn the game off with other player's pawns in your party, will they automatically update based on the other player's progress (if they made any), or do I have to release them and rehire them for me to see any changes? For example, if I hired someone at level 5 yesterday and that player got the pawn to 10, when I turn the game on tonight will the pawn in my party be 10, or do I need to "refresh" it by releasing the pawn?

tooooooo bad posted:At some point you should switch to Warrior and pick up their augment that "greatly reduces" physical damage. It's at level 1 so you can totally switch to Warrior, learn it, and then immediately switch back. Really everyone should do this ASAP. Where do I switch vocations? I might as well, I get knocked around enough as a strider. And the "knowledge chairs" are the glowing chairs in the inn right? I only looked when I had the default pawn the game starts you with.

What am I not getting about Catching a Thief? The thief runs just as fast as you, but turns faster so you can never catch up, is immune to damage, and flips out if you even try to get close. It's not possible to grab him either, you slip off. e: Also it's a huge dick move having "load last checkpoint" not be "load last save". Yeah, I didn't need that last hour of play.

Policenaut posted:The thief is immune to damage but he can be knocked down. Here's how you can do it simply: immediately run out of the inn and head down the street. You'll soon see an alleyway to your right which turns right to the alehouse and left to the stairway for the church's rear entrance. The thief will always run down this stairway at the beginning of the mission, so if you run there as soon as possible you can get there about 10-30 seconds before he does. Eventually, you'll see his figure run down the stairs. What you do is when he gets close, you use a skill that knocks him on his rear end. Something like Full Moon Slash or hell, even a really good regular attack chain. I kind of feel like an idiot for not just dumping my sleeper arrows into him, but thanks for the tip on where to wait.

Lotish posted:Random drops is the only other way I know. Every four or five crowds of goblins, saurians or zombies seems to drop one ball worth 100 RC. Beyond that, questing gives very modest RC rewards. Okay, thanks. I saw that to recruit some pawn, I had to have a million or so, so I was curious if I'm really only supposed to have 1000 right now or if I was missing something.

I can't decide, should I max out Strider before switching to Assassin or Magick Archer (haven't decided which yet), or just hit level 5, get dodge, then switch? Can I even keep dodge if I switch?

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll stick with Strider a little longer then. Also the map could stand to be better. I went to the Watergod's Altar with Ser Berne thinking that was the way to the Shadow Fort or whatever. Sadly he got eaten by a dinosaur man. On the plus side, I got more money out of it than I would have otherwise by stumbling onto the place. I don't suppose Ranger keeps the strider benefit of climbing better? Crawling on top of a cyclops and using Scarlet Kisses to tear its eye out is badass as all hell. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jun 2, 2012 |

Mokinokaro posted:They're slower unfortunately but still decent at it. Make sure you wait to get hundred kisses before switching away from strider. Alright, thanks. I'm thinking I'm going to go ranger for a bit after this, then AC it up as assassin; Dragon's Dogma is the first game I've found where it's fun to actually play as an archer.

Lotish posted:Yeah, I just did this with a pawn I'd hired. She looked like a miniature Red Sonja, chainmail bikini and everything, but with a bow and glasses(?). I was desperate for a ranger at that moment, but I was sorely tempted to put her in some proper pants and when I dismissed her I pointed out that she was questionably dressed. My warrior pawn's still dressed in a brown tunic with a lovely little piece of armor that covers his six-pack and a pair of greaves and that's about it. Remarkably effective until I accidentally tell the beast pulling my sweet hydra head trophy to run him over. v vI always get a little antsy about this sort of system though because I rarely ever seem to get my stuff noticed. I always have plenty to draw on, though! At least I figured out that the cost of recruitment is related to your level, so I don't have to worry at all about it. By the way that escort quest to go to the Shadow Fort wasn't a chain or anything right?

How do you get to the Shadow Fort? From what I've seen no roads lead to it. Do you go west past Gran Soren then all the way down south to it? I'd rather keep my escort there alive this time.

The map's poo poo and all but it really, really doesn't help that the quest markers point you in the wrong direction in caves and dungeons. Instead of pointing to the correct exit, they point to the nearest one, so I ran smack into an ogre which managed to kill me after it died. At least I had a wakestone (gently caress that guy's kid, I'm not reloading because the game didn't recognize I killed it).

Also, implicate is a useful skill. I got jumped by wizards on the way back to Gran Soren from the quarry and I kept pulling them over right before they could cast their icicle spells.

Honest Thief posted:When you get more than one at a time is real fun. The best part is I somehow trained my pawn to use a skill whenever I knock one over, pick him up, and toss him. I was trying to get them to stab the guy while I was holding him, but I think this way is much better. If I go Magick Archer from Strider, will I be at a disadvantage due to lack of magic stats, or should it not be a problem? I'm thinking its going to be that or Assassin now.

DrakePegasus posted:Puck, in his TRUE FORM as a fat, short, probably naked elf with a blue shock of hair, horribly annoying voice/personality/inclinations, and nothing but support spells. I would go with Annoying Elf, it's less usual, so it'd be more likely to stand out in the crowd. My own pawn is finally starting to see some action too! Turns out the internet likes horned helms, large claymores, blue tunics and capes, and spiked greaves. He brought back a rock.

I'm doing the ancient tome quest, and I'm at the castle with the all-women bandit group. Unfortunately, I've got a rather large man rolling with me, and he can't wear the crossdressing stuff. Am I really missing out on much if I don't go through this with him in disguise, or can it wait for a second playthrough? Also where the hell is this book.

a kitten posted:I found it in an entirely different bandit (male) camp way down in the South Aernst Castle. You don't even have to fight them it's in a chest way, way up at the top of their ruins, took a little jumping to get to, luckily a pawn knew the way. Oh, that explains it. Now I have to go all the way back down there, and dig around until I'm in the right area since it crossed it off my map. I wish there was at least a fast travel between towns, it's not like the canyon's going to change or anything. At least assaulting that castle was fun. How many quests did I lock myself out of by ensnaring and tossing all the bandits up there off a cliff?

As an Assassin, should I be sticking with my daggers and shortbow, or should I go sword and bow? Because I found a pretty sweet new flaming sword, and I no longer have access to Implicate. Should I just use the swords and use daggers when I want to stab something's eye out? Also Pentad shot is way shittier than Cloudburst Shot.

Since I just found out about it, I added my pawn to the document. Chuft is a roughly level 25 warrior, who likes horned helmets, blue capes and tonics, spiked and fur greaves, and claymores. His favorite activity is stabbing bad dudes thrown his way.

In the quest where you kick a family out of their homes for Fournival, besides not doing a quest is there a way to keep them in it? I feel kind of lovely about it, and I'm down to finding the father (haven't played for a while)? Also, do I still get quests if I do that?

DrNutt posted:Although, I must say that I think Capcom really hit it out of the park with the pawn system. I want sequels to Dragon's Dogma just to get more of that honestly. Maybe give us a larger world, with more distinct regions, like a snowy mountain top area, some tropical jungles, or a desert area. I would be all over that. I love watching other people's pawns progress. Up until yesterday I used the same mage and warrior for 20 levels. The mage, though still a mage, has surpassed me, and has clearly better equipment. The warrior switched genders and is no longer a valkyrie though, sadly. Also someone hooked my warrior pawn up with a warhammer. Not as good as my greatsword, but still awesome!
