The old thread got archive so I'm gonna post this. I bought this today and my only experience was the demo for the 360 version but i'm loving it so far, just did the Hydra encounter in the first encampment. There's a lot I don't understand (can't find any merchants, have no idea how the pawn system works) but this game feels like some Capcom people got sealed off from the outside world in a room with a copy of Morrowind for a few years and were told to make a game and it owns. Some questions. Can you switch around classes later or are you locked from the start of the game? I chose Strider and don't regret it but looking at menus it seems like there is some kind of multiclass stuff going on Also am I gimping myself if Im just running with one pawn right now? I kind of like the idea of my stubby, silent little archer running around the world with his hulking bowl-cutted wizard slave Huckleberry but i'm also getting ripped apart by wolves right now so idk. Anyway godspeed and good gaming! Feel free to give tips of cool poo poo to go check out, this game feels super open already and I remember hearing imps say that some really simple-looking sidequests end up being way more interesting than they appear so lmk if there's something I shouldn't miss

goferchan posted:Some questions. Can you switch around classes later or are you locked from the start of the game? You can switch, and you can use anywhere between 0 and 3 pawns. 3 is optimal but you also spend more time managing pawns, and more importantly finding good ones. Entirely up to you. Minimize spoilers when it comes to quests and exploration. Way more fun to stumble on things, and the game is fun and easy to replay so don't stress about missing out.

something the game doesn't tell you is that your stat increases are tied to your class so don't run off and change classes ttoo soon. although iirc the "best" way to level was to be a warrior for the first 20 levels or some poo poo.

Oh yeah I just got to Gran Soren. I don't want to play a warrior, having my pawn enchant my arrows is too cool

I have laughed out loud so many times in this game from the first moment I chucked a fat fisherman's child down some stairs to 5 seconds ago when I found a scroll called "Wolf Strategy, Vol. 3" edit: shan't say what the scroll contains for fear of spoilers

Just spent like 20 minutes chopping off lizardman tails down by the river this game is a blast

There's the 3 basic classes, 3 advanced versions that are a variation on the way the normal classes play, and then hybrid classes like the strider/warrior one that lets you use swords and a bow and lets you use roughly half the skills from each. I think the other hybrid classes basically work the same way. I was a basic warrior the entire game and it doesn't hurt you to do that. There's things called augments though that can be used on any class once unlocked or some poo poo? So it encourages you to play around a little in the midgame

Is there any reason not to spend the 1k discipline or whatever to upgrade my pawn from basic mage to sorcerer immediately? That's the part I don't understand lol

Sorcerer doesn't have healing and I think weapon buffs iirc. Also they don't get the same augments as mages so there's probably something you want to unlock first but i found magic very boring in this game so idk

FactsAreUseless posted:Yes you can. Stacey, right? Steam friends' pawns always show up in the void, so I have a pile of Imp pawns that turn up every time. George Kosm, the Costanza impersonator, also shows up. I forget which Imp made him. Lol George Kosm is evil eagle's I think.

All 9 vocations have unique augments.

I'm curious as to whether it's ever explored in the story how hosed up the Pawn concept is or if it's just an accepted part of the setting lol. Either way that's cool, I love the fact that I have an 8ft tall magical mongoloid slave following me around who is thrilled to discover that wolves hunt in packs

I was thinking of picking this up since it's like 10 dollars on PSN right now but I'm also playing Witcher and doubt I'd get to it for another year. That's my story about Dragon's Dogma.
