Got my copy of it today, impressed with it so far outside of the constant chattering of the pawns. A little sad to see I can't run with 3 rangers, but oh well.

Ok, that's just really killed my drive for this game: I can ignore one of my pawns disappearing so I have to 3v2 two ogres, one armoured. Still came out on top. After that, I ran around and got an ambush quest, and suddenly a giant purple earth golem appears. It takes me literally half an hour to kill, and despite the crappy loot, I'm pleased with myself. I venture onwards and find a chimera. We duke it out, but then the chimera leaps about spazzily and takes me out. Fair enough, I think. I'll just head to the town when I come back. Unfortunately, I'm not spawned at the place I killed the golem. I'm at the last place I saved, which was grand soren.

Finally read through all 50 pages since I last visited this thread! Now I feel like I can properly post.  This is a really fantastic game. I'll really be looking forward to starting an entirely new game when I have proper internet and making proper support Pawns. What would be the most popular Pawn to summon, a support Mage or an in-your-face, balls-to-the-wall warrior who gives naught fucks? As far as I know Sorcs are overdone and no-one wants a Ranger Pawn? Also looking through the thread, I remember seeing someone mentioning someone elses Pawn throwing a whole bunch of living enemies off cliffs. How does one manage to encourage their pawn to do so? Clearly, throwing enemies off cliffs is the best part of the game. Or grappling a Chimera or Ogre near a cliff and riding them to the bottom.

Blunt Force Trauma posted:Climbing up a cyclops' back gives me issues as well, if he's swinging at my teammates I'm unable to move up his back, I just dangle there by one hand until he stops swinging (he doesn't) or I run out of stamina. Is there a stat that governs my ability to hold on or move while enemies are moving around? There are two Strider Augments that aid climbing: Dexterity(Climb Faster) and Arm-Strength(Halves Stamina needed for climbing) The moment DD clicked for me was... well, there are a few shining moments... Hurling live enemies(or friendly NPCs) over cliffs Encountering a big bad for the first time(Oh poo poo a Chimera oh gently caress oh gently caress) Hiring a Warrior pawn, strolling through the quarry and proceeding to watch cleave an ogre in two. Seriously, about 80%HP to 0%. Also... whats with everyone comparing DD to De/DaS? I know they're both Japanese Devs creating a 'western' RPG, but DD isn't anywhere near as 'punishing' as the two Soul games. e:oh yeah and when I went to Bluemoon tower for the 2nd time, fighting Salomet, as soon as I entered the arena, I realised my main pawn died, I had no healing consumables, and my checkpoint save was an hour ago. gently caress me that was a grueling battle.

Easier time as a Strider/Ranger/Assassin - Use the charge arrow shot to knock him down and keep using it til you reach him. Surely killing him would have been easier.

Finished the game last night! Im having a really hard time deciding whether or not I want my main pawn as warrior or sorcerer, since my sorc pretty much oneshot a gorechimera. Can anyone tell me how fun m. Archers are? I'm really diggin the self-immolation thing here. Zeruel fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jun 2, 2012 |

Not sure whether or not this has been posted or not, but oh well! I started a completely new game with my current knowledge, and decided to keep the Rusted Bow, just as a debuffer. I have to say - its pretty great! Sure you're gimped to hell on ranged, but the ability to Fivefold Arrow an enemy twice and have them poisoned and slowed is really great! I was planning on running Strider>Sorc>Mag. Archer but since I've heard MA is pretty crud until higher levels, I'm thinking I might save that for post game and roll Stri>Assass>MA so I can get Autonomy, then and roll the postgame bosses on my own as MA ps: beholder/evil eye owns, hydra sucks. e: also does anyone know if arm-strength affects monsters, or just terrain?

Gestalt Intellect posted:I was using her recently and she was actually quite good with the exact set of spells I wanted, but for some reason when I fought the cockatrice she just sort of broke. While I circle-strafed with a bow she just followed me around constantly and did nothing in particular, aside from heal occasionally. It was really strange. Anything that's about people-size, I'm fairly certain. I have memories of using it on Saurians.

Thelonious Monk posted:What's the best party composition to roll around with? I've been using 2 mage pawns and 1 fighter pawn with my strider. Should I drop one of the mages for another melee type? For my first game, I ended up with Strider/Assassin(Me), a Sorc Main Pawn, and a healbot hired pawn and a Warrior. I found it rather effective. also I love some of these quests they give you: "Eradicate 10 deer" e: OH HOLY poo poo I THOUGHT GRIFFINS WOULDNT APPEAR IN THE WILD UNTIL YOU KILLED THE QUEST GRIFFIN AAAAAAAAA ee: and it turns out at that point I was close enough to hillfigure knoll for the first time to trigger the cinematic and enter the knoll

I am... Quite worried I have screwed myself. After meeting the duke for the first time and getting that silly hat on my head, I tried breaking into the treasure room. After 5 or so attempts, I was imprisoned, and lost the funny hat. I have now missed out on meeting the duchess. What have I done

My opinion of Magick Archer has greatly shifted, once I tried it after maxing out Sorceror Vocations. Hundred/Backfire/High Scension + Sixfold/Hunter/Explosive.  Am considering replacing Scension with Magick Rebalancer, though. Considering going Assassin for Autonomy, but I enjoy the company of my pawns too much now. v vAs far as I gather, the game is pretty much the same in NG+, right? Quests won't be different, just encounters along the way? I messed up big time regarding the audience with the Duke, meeting with the Duchess in the garden. Now she doesn't appear to exist

Manatee Cannon posted:If you mean for the quest Arousing Suspicion, you're supposed to go to her room in the left tower. I hosed up after meeting the duke for the first time, where you leave the Castle with the party hat on, where She takes the hat off you and swoons all over you. That didn't occur since I decided I would try break into the treasure room, and promptly got thrown in jail, went back to the Manse, and was greeted by Aldous.(spelling?)

I think its a matter of certain things you can do to the enemy to gain stars. Eg: Cyclops have 3(I think?): Tusks can be broken, They will drop their club when their clubbing arm is struck, and they become blind when struck in the eye. Goblins... They are weak to fire and ice both? Also something about holding them down I think.

You don't needed actually physically catch him I don't think. Thats the first place you find him. 2nd is in the venery under a bridge, at which point he started the running. Also for Magick Archer, would the Sorc augment for reducing stamina while intoning spells(magic bow) be the one you need, or the Warrior augment?

^^^ When leaving the encampment, hug the left wall all the way around. Go up a hill, keep hugging, and you'll eventually come across sparse woodland. You're nearing witchwood. As soon as I got internet, I logged into dragon's and immediately beheld all the little anime girls, even some with pinku~ hair. It made me feel guilty instantly for creating a female myself, but I am justifying it due to the end of the entire game.  Zeruel fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Jun 7, 2012 |

^^^ What whale hunter said. Mage/sorc augs are good to have, but unnecessary. The magick archer augs are pretty crap, though. I went from 9/9 strider to 9/9 sorc before hitting up m.archer, and the.things like reducing cast time are quite useful. Overall I'm finding m.archer really fun and quite strong.

As magick archer, finished the game, went to the everfall, and a room had a gorechimera, chimera, Wight. And tons of hellhounds oh god the horror. Only 1 pawn survived since the other two got petrified. e: New chamber. An arch hydra. After I beat it, there was a chest at the back. In it was a golden egg.

Haha, man, it's the little things that make this game pretty great. As I walked out of Greatwall, post slaying dragon one of my pawns was making hand gestures, like she was chatting to the other. "So I was like, 'Shut up you big dumb lizard!', and I smacked him in the face with my mace."

Sure, you roam around, stab some poo poo, but then there's things like shooting a cyclops in the eye, making it stumble, and watching it fall off a cliff.
