ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I'm super on the fence about this game, on one hand I love the style and classes and whatnot, but on the other every video I see has random slow motion with pawns and focused only on climbing all over poo poo, is that pretty much how every fight goes or how exactly does the flow of battle change? You can turn off the cinematic camera in the options.

Maxcraft posted:I did get interesting bug, apparently the red dragon is bilingual in my game. Text, npc all speak English, yet he decided to speak Spanish to me. Actually after the first encounter I quit back to main menu to see if I changed language or something by accident but there was no such option. So I just went back, and in the first house you find yourself in, more Spanish, but then all the sudden he switched to English by the 3rd thing he said, I had no idea what to make of that. I even though the game might of somehow gotten that language option from Fifa, since I play that with Spanish or French, whichever fancy strikes me, kind of a cute bug though. That's not a bug

So if I want to play a Magic Archer it's best to build to it from a Mage or Sorcerer? Their main damage stat is magic? Also where are all of the rats hiding?

How early do Sorcerers get to learn the augment that reduces spell casting time? Thinking of switching my healer pawn (a cool oldish guy with glasses tyvm) to Sorcerer long enough to get that but going without him will be rough for a while. Also can Mystic Knights and/or Magic Archers use the heal and buff spells? Maybe I should switch him to one of those  edit: vvv oh right, totally forgot! see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 23:56 on May 26, 2012 |

Welp, tossed my two male pawns off of a cliff outside the lady bandits' castle so that I could have a chat with the leader and now it's the middle of the night and I'm stuck with one pawn and all of the bandits on the road leading up to the castle are not nearly as cool with me. I love this game  edit: pretty sunrises

I wiped out the all female camp because they attacked me and the quest says it's somewhere here but I can't find it. They didn't actually have it. If you walk up to the female bandit chief without any male pawns in your group (unless you're male yourself I guess) she'll tell you that another bandit group near the Witchwood entrance has it. Here:  You might be able to talk it away from the bandit leader but he didn't care to give it up to me.

Tgent posted:Do I answer yes or no to this question to get my pawn to say less stuff: Yes makes him more verbose, no makes him shut up. I kind of feel like inclination is becoming the most important part of selecting pawns. While a Fighter and a Ranger both with Guardian inclination (protects the Arisen) maybe sounds like a good idea, in practice they kind of don't attack much. Like ever. Having them both hang out right next to you is beneficial and cool in a way, but not when you're trying to kill an Ogre and they're just standing near you and not attacking.

Needs More Jazz posted:Weird thing is, as a Mage/Sorcerer, I've found Guardian works great as a Secondary skill. If the Primary is something like Scather, then the pawn actually engages the enemy. Then, if one of them targets the PC, the pawn usually intercepts them before they get too close. That's interesting, I might try that with my main pawn. Like to know any other good inclination combinations that people have stumbled across. They make all the difference in the world.

Jimbot posted:Argh, what's it going to take to make complete strangers to vote more than 3 stars for Battle Rating on my main pawn? She's a Scathis/Challenger now and uses the Corona, Whirlwind and Exodus Slashes for her skills (the ones that are quick, since the AI never hits anything with the charged ones). Aside from jumping up and down uselessly in some situations with bandits, she's gotten really good at killing things, especially if there's a Fighter in the party to provoke. I like Warrior pawns who have the skill that pulls aggro. The damage they can deliver to tough enemies makes them way more useful than Fighters in my experience.

Gherkin Jerkin posted:Is it my imagination or are the items that larger monsters drop affected by how you kill it? My usual way of killing a cyclops was to just stab it in the back of the neck neck repeatedly until dead. I've killed somewhere around 20 or so, but never realized they can drop a misshapen eyeball until I changed up my tactics and went specifically for stabbing it in the eye. I'm two for two now when I manage to stab its eye a few times before it dies. I've seen pawns chatter a bit about picking up tusks after you've broken them off so you're probably right. e: Just got it again: "Snatch up any tusks you break free!" e2: Sure enough they dropped tusks when killed. see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 16:51 on May 27, 2012 |

Lotish posted:Speaking of inclinations, I just noticed that my pawn only has one. Have I just not talked to her enough or have I overemphasized on trait to the exclusion of a second? You can buy potions from the guy standing next to the riftstone in the Encampment that will instantly give a huge boost to the inclination of your choice. They're all really cheap, like 200 RC each. Makes it simple. e: Oh, to actually answer your question, if you use a potion to give a pawn a primary inclination, what was in the primary slot before will typically drop to secondary. So just use them in order. If it's a huge shift you might need a couple of potions for it to change.

Lotish posted:What's the difference between Nexus and Guardian. I must admit the latter seems like the obvious choice on a tank. Nexus try to assist their fellow pawns. Guardians try and hold your hand all the time, in the sense that even as a secondary inclination Pawns with Guardian will always stand right next to you, often opting not to attack as a result. I'm getting to be pretty staunchly against Guardian entirely. Even archers won't always attack while they're hovering around next to you. Cross dressing might work, you should try it and report back.

All of them hit for gently caress all but if has a sword and shield he still ruins my health I'm level 34 and there are still bandits that hit like a truck, though they're much easier to kill now if I keep them at a distance. Get a Mage with the fire wall spell because it pretty much demolishes them.

Anyone found a decent way for spellcasters to do damage to Golems? The Sorcerer ice skill Gicel is the only thing that I've even noticed doing damage, and it's pretty pitiful compared to the rare occasions when I can convince my pawns to just jump on the loving thing and whack at it. edit: also thanks to whoever explained how to fight the Metal Golem, that was interesting. Again wholly dependent on my pawns to deal with it though.

Policenaut posted:So when are you supposed to get this "good gear" from giving the Gold Idol to a vendor? I just gave it to Caxton a little while ago and he still has the same stuff he had before. Both of their inventories upgraded after I finished the escort quest for Madeline. Be interested to know what you get out of giving Caxton the Gold Idol. I gave Madeline the Gold and him the Silver, she got a bunch of new weapons though mostly ranged (no archstaffs) and a lot of new armor (design-wise generally in line with the rest of her inventory), Caxton only got a few additional weapons and no new armor. edit: noticed that all of the DLC items seem to have glow effects around their icons in the inventory so I dug through that big dump of all of the items and pulled them out and uploaded them here in no particular order if anyone's curious. see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 18:54 on May 29, 2012 |

I've heard you need a SS size character, though my MC and a pawn I've hired are both that, and neither can do what I think I'm supposed to do... If you're trying to do the quest to kill the cyclops you need to drop down one of the holes in the courtyard outside. IIRC as you enter the fort it's in the far-right corner.

Supposedly there are five groups of named assassins who will jump you at predefined points on roads at night.
