Ledneh posted:Any guesses/insight on difficulty so far? I feel like looking at some of that video it might be pretty Dark Souls in difficulty: soul-crushing at first, then quickly easier with some attention and learning. The consensus seems to be that the difficulty's not bad if you stick to roads and make sure you're prepared before going out, but can quickly kick you in the balls if you decide to go exploring somewhere you shouldn't be, go out at night at a lower level, or if you stay out too long without any healing items. The major complaint seems to be that quests don't have a level marker or anything when you accept them, so you don't really know how hard a quest might be until you go and try to do it.

Would've done that except that Fry's has shown in the past that what an employee says over the phone has about a 30% chance of actually being true. It wasn't a big deal because there was a Target, GameStop, and a Best Buy within like 5 mins. Trip report: Fry's is indeed selling it for $49.99, although my Fry's still had the $59.99 sticker on the box. Went straight to 49.99 when the cashier scanned it in though. Installing now

Might be worth adding to the OP, here's a gamefaqs post that's serving as a makeshift guide right now while actual guides are being made. Has some really good info and links to other post about stuff like augments, class skills, pawn character, etc. Worth a look for anyone like me who likes to plan things out in an RPG, or if you're just curious what augments/classes the different vocations get. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/626515-dragons-dogma/62873069

You can sell items in shops that are currently in your storage. Game of the year. Also this game is horrible for my OCD item collecting. Been playing for an hour and haven't left Cassardis yet. It's awesome how much being able to climb stuff adds to exploration.

NESguerilla posted:A few questions...Why is my health seem to be at the half way mark even if it appears to be full? Also, Do I do anything when I level up or is everything automatic? Finally, my bow occasionally fires powerful fire arrows but I can't tell what is triggering it. Am I building up a meter that leads to that or something? You level up automatically, but if you level up your vocation then you should go to an inn since you most likely unlocked a new skill. The fire arrows are coming from the mage in your party, who is casting a spell to imbue your weapons with fire.

Fizzil posted:Nope, unless you have something equipped like a shield, unfortunately warriors only carry one thing unlike the other classes so hes mostly hosed with 3 skills only. You mean the other classes like mages and sorcerers who also only have one weapon? Warriors absolutely should be able to have 6 two-handed skills. Every class gets 6 skills, what they are just depends on your weapons.

That tentacle beast at the bottom of the spiral staircase, coming right after the nigh-invulnerable ogre, can get hosed. Is that really supposed to be a quest for a level 14 party? There's a reason your pawns keep yelling at you to just run away. Hint: listen to them. Anybody started messing around with item combining yet? Any good/easy recipes to make healing potions/herbs?

To be fair, most of the quests could've been taken straight out of an MMO. But the actual gameplay and combat is so drat fun that it's pretty much the opposite of an MMO.

Man, waking up, turning the game on, and resting at an inn to see that a bunch of people have rented your pawn and given you 12k RC for it is weirdly satisfying. 3 stars for appearance though  It's all because I don't have a wizard hat yet for him so he just looks like a short little fat black kid running around. Anyway add me ("VDay 1") if you want a level ~24 pure damage mage. Will make him a sorcerer as soon as I get enough DP for the last two mage augments.

Shardok posted:Discipline Points are also shared between classes. So if you're already at max rank as Mage, may as well change to Sorcerer for a bit to get the free job points there to rank up, and then switch back to Mage (for free, as he already has it unlocked) to get the augments when ya need to. Thought about doing that, but the offensive mage spells he has right now are too useful to give up. Part of the reason for getting the last two augments (besides the fact that they're awesome) is to smooth the transition over into sorcerer.

I hope I didn't change from being a mage too early You get a couple more at level 5, and then the real big gently caress-off sorcerer spells come at 6. As people told me earlier though you should be able to just use the mage offensive spells in the meantime. Or did you not go Mage->Sorcerer for some reason?

Anyone have any hints for the Lost Cause and Thanks Mislaid quests? I think they're two of the DLC ones. They're both just asking to find something, but "Help I lost a letter" isn't exactly a great push forward. The other one mentions a river festivus, but I checked by places with rivers/water near Gran Soren and haven't found anything.

Anyone using the bow as an Assassin? What are your guys' three skills? I've got lyncean sight for sniping and pentad shot for when I need to spam arrows in hopes of hitting something, but can't really decide on a third between punctured dart(hits multiple enemies, guard breaks) and blunting arrow(poison damage). Anybody tried both out? Also if no one's tried it yet, Lyncean sight combined with the Preemption augment (double damage against unaware foes) murders mobs and even some of the bigger creatures and lets you clear stuff out from afar. I hit a chimera in the goat head and it took off half a bar of health. Such a loving satisfying feeling and a real  moment.

I love this loving game. Just spent literally 30 minutes in a ridiculous fight with the Drake that's by the Shadow Fort. ~Level 35 party, took almost every potion/healing thing I had on me, I had to revive my pawns countless times, but I loving finally took him down. My sorcerer pawn got off the most ridiculously clutch spell I've ever seen. I had the wyrm down to about a bar and a quarter life. He rears up to do a swipe when suddenly three big rear end ice spikes come flying out and get him right in the heart. Bam, one health bar gone and suddenly he's on the ground with a tiny bit of life left. Rushed over with my warrior pawn and killed him just before he got up again. Game of the year, gently caress the haters. e: Gave the dragon forged shoulder cape I got from the fight to my pawn for maximum swag. VDay fucked around with this message at 08:11 on May 24, 2012 |
