If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
So with Pawns, can you pick specific player's pawns or when looking online for pawns are you just given a random assortment of random people's pawns?

I don't think I saw this answered. Any answer?

I don't THINK there's a way to input a search string in the The Rift, I think you have to search and sort by level/ranking/gender/class.

So there is no way to pick a friend's pawn and there is no way for goons to pick each others' pawns?

Should we create a list of gamertags/psn IDs and what type of pawn they have?

I bought Dragon's Dogma when it first came out but never actually got around to playing it.

Now I'm seeing about the Dark Arisen stuff coming out. Does that add anything for low levels? Should I start up Dragon's Dogma now or wait until DA comes out?

You should at least start a game because Dark Arisen will give you extra stuff if you have DD - probably by checking for a save file.

If you like it wait for DA since it contains all of the original game plus new stuff.

Does that affect the lower level stuff or DA focused on higher levels only?

Also, if I have a save for DD, will that work in DA or will I have to recreate for DA?

I bought Dragon's Dogma when it first came out. I played to the point where I was able to create a pawn (and ended up spending FAR too much time creating my character and my pawn). I was thinking of sitting down and starting over and actually playing this game. Should I just start playing with the base game or should I wait until I can buy Dark Arisen?

How far into the game does the Dark Arisen stuff start? Will I have a better experience if I go from the start with Dark Arisen or will it not matter until 10+ hours into the game?

You can go to Dark Arisen pretty much from the get go, but if you haven't played the game, you're probably going to die a lot if you go straight to the DLC content. You should play the base game first.

Cool. Then I'll just start with the base game and then go pick up Dark Arisen when I can if it doesn't add anything to the lower level experience.

And if you have a save file (any save file), you can get an infinite ferry stone for teleporting to those port crystals.

I'm assuming Port Crystals are fast travel points? I still have my previous save file from like three hours in. If I go buy Dark Arisen and start a new game, will I still get the benefits or should I start the new game with the base game and then switch to Dark Arisen?

I kind of feel directionless in this game. Not that I have no directions to go, but in every direction is a brick wall.

This game is really bad about checkpointing and multiple times I've been sent back a half hour because the game feels like it never saves.

About about level 13. I did as many side quests as I could in the starter town/encampment area, but I feel like I need to travel crazy loving distances to do anything now and then as soon as I get there, I get two shot by a bandit.

E: If the game straight up doesn't have a main quest for you to do, rest in the encampment by talking to mercedes, it triggers the next quest.

I did the quest where I took the hydra head to the city and then some pawn guy told me to go to the Eversomething.

I was trying to do side quests and then they all lead me to this area near the encampment filled with about 50 sword and board bandits. I just feel like overall I have very little idea where I should/shouldn't be going because all my sidequests lead me to places I get my rear end kicked.

Are you doing the sidequest that has you look for Quina? If so, I believe you're running past the entrance to Witchwood, where you should be going. Just follow the road south from that small canyon you enter the area with. If the bandits are giving you trouble on the road there, I believe going at night will replace some of them with wolves.

All of my sidequests are "Kill <X> of <Y>" except I did pick up this one guy that wanted to be escorted to this fort in the middle of fuckoffwhoknows.

As lame as it sounds, I just wish quests had level numbers associated with them ala an MMO. Or just make a red title for "YOURE GOING TO GET hosed IN THIS SIDEQUEST." I have no idea what I should be trying to do immediately and what I should just not be caring about.

Anyone on 360 have a high level mage? Seems like every single one of my friends decided they want a warrior pawn. Seriously. On my friends list I have 1 mage, 1 strider, and 9 fighters/warriors.

I sent friend requests to a few people on the spreadsheet but hadn't got a response on any of them.

As of today, my 53 year old mother just got 1000/1000 achievement points in Dragon's Dogma.
