Uh...what attack can take off four bars of a cockatrice's life in one hit? One of my pawns did it I guess and I don't know what. The cockatrice was alive and fighting and then suddenly it wasn't.

TehGherkin posted:If it was her who decked him out in steel plate with the royal surcoat Ha, that was me. I used him for a full run in NG+ and he did very well through all of it. Your pawn was unique in that it was the only hyper aggressive Fighter I've ever hired, which came in handy plenty of times - the Scather/Nexus inclinations seemed to work really well. I'm glad the gear came through. The moment I loved him was when we were fighting Direwolves and he barked something like "'Tis a white wolf, soon to be red!". I'd never heard that before and hell, that sort of spirit was to be rewarded. That and he could carry loads of things with minimal penalty. Great pawn man. Oh, if you want to roll another character without losing your main one select cloud storage or a USB stick when you're prompted at the title screen. I suppose you could have as many characters as you have USBs, really. neetz fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Jun 25, 2012 |

I think the best way to handle pawn chatter is to think of them as excited dogs that bark at everything.

Normal gouge seemed kind of meh, but dire gouge is mindblowingly amazing. Add on to that the fact that swords just tend to have higher attack ratings than daggers and you'll probably be doing more damage. Hundred Kisses, and really any of those "tap rapidly to attack" moves, always kind of bothered me because your character wouldn't stop when you stopped pressing. Instead you have to wait a couple more seconds to some little flourish. And yes, I'm aware of reset, but I want to go all offense, all the time.  Also, only being able to use it while climbing never bothered me because intimate gambit and antler toss keep everything stunlocked.

I just fought a wyvern for the first time (that's the one with the heart on its back, right?) and while all my pawns were shouting to attack its wings, they were doing precisely jack poo poo on that front themselves, despite my main pawn being a ranger, having a bunch of awesome bow abilities, and having challenger as her first inclination. What gives?

Maybe the Ranger had a Maker's Finger or something.

That fight came within a potion of killing me after what felt like a half hour battle. Ran through all my potions to stop petrifaction, got one down long after it had killed my Mage and Ranger and then lost my last pawn! Ran around kiting the drat thing into my walls of fire and counting down the remaining potions before killing it with a fraction of life left. Dont think I ever felt so drat pumped and relieved from a computer game encounter. I found that room far harder than the wight plus chimeras room.

Some post-game areas can be a bit of a shock, especially after you've been waltzing through the main game for about twenty levels, but just like the main game it doesn't scale - all it's really doing is shifting the goalposts. Farming some postgame equipment and getting some levels under your belt makes it significantly easier, and how you approach the postgame dungeon's entirely up to you. Once you know what spawns where you can avoid it completely.

Tell her I said thanks for the feedback and the friend request, I will definitely get round to using her pawn at some point, I'm just at that point in the game where I'm starting to have actual okay items to gift sometimes, so I'll take her pawn on for a couple good quests then give him/her something cool. It's strange you should say he climbs on cyclops and such, I've never once seen him do that, although to be fair I'm the strider so I'm usually climbing up on poo poo myself.

Almost certainly Great Gamble on the ranger. Incidentally, if anybody has not personally used that skill before, you need to switch to ranger right now and rank it to 9 for that skill because it's one of the most amazing things in the game. I've one-shotted a gorechimera with it. And unlike that loving magick archer skill it doesn't use pawns as ammunition, it just eats all your stamina which you can deal with by getting Grit from strider or eating a stamina item.

The Lone Badger posted:Does Liquid Vim work? I've never tried it since it seemed like kind of a waste to use a whole liquid vim for that when you could just eat a mushroom, but I've never seen anything lower stamina under any circumstances while vim is active, so it almost certainly works. You just have to use the item before you fire, since you'll still go through the ten seconds of gasping and such if you use vim after your stamina has already run out.

Post game loses a lot of its teeth once you upgrade your weapon since they have such higher stats. Combine that with bloodlust from the assassin tree and you probably just gained about 1000 strength. Even then it's still a lot of fun because things don't die super fast so you actually get to use your loot/skills again if you were overpowering the main game.

What exactly happens after you get the duke's ring back and fight the cockatrice? I just drove the cockatrice off and the chamberlain is telling me that I should finish all my business before going on this new quest that will take me far from Gran Soren. Basically will it cancel the quests I currently have or am I good or what?

Sooo I got the Platinum Trophy last night. Clocked in 89 hours and 49 minutes over two play through's. Not bad  Magic Archer on the first run, then Mystic Knight. Both classes were pretty fun, MK was really powerful in the end though. I maxed Assassin, but switched back to MK, because I liked it more. Basically, I loved this game. This was the second game I liked enough to bother to get the Platinum(Dragon Age: Origins is the other one). I really hope they make a sequel.

Ones you've picked up from the boards are fine, but any quests given to you by people, you might want to concentrate on completing.

Don't forget that quest completion counts for New Game +, so you don't need to restart to get those quests--just snag them on your next time through. I've got a few I need to do--notably I need to do Bad Business and Quina's flower quest (it would have helped if you'd told me I had a time limit, cos).

So now Fournival has the floaty pinkness over his head whenever I talk to him, I'd better not see his rear end get kidnapped by the Dragon, as that would be horrifying and hilarious. Unrelated, is there anything at the Mysterious Shore just outside Cassardis since I've looked around and seen nothing, but the name of the area just screams that something is here.

Yeah that specific sound effect is the sound of some NPC getting pissed at you. Examples where it happens include running into certain NPCs or having your weapon drawn in the throne room. Feste

You also can't set yourself on fire and wander around the city. The guards catch you, but if you just idle on the text that comes up you can keep burning them to death since it appears that the freeze that happens when an interactive text box appears stops everything from moving, but doesn't stop fire damage or affinity decreases.
