Ahem, the OP says "Welcome to Gran Soren" and I think you'll find that Gran Soren is the name of the main city while Gransys is the name of the area in which the game takes place.

I uh... had the same sort of result as that guy who mentioned the grimoire. Somehow managed to combine some items into a magick scroll. Description was useless. Used it in the inn in Gran Soren and the innkeeper flies into the air on a pillar of flame. Now I'm in jail :X

Azraden posted:This game is frustrating because for all this stuff it does right (combat, making large enemies actually feel like a threat, the character creation, lots of clothing options, difficulty, etc, etc.), it really misses the mark on what makes open world games great. I don't feel rewarded for exploring in this game, there's no real loot to speak of, no awesome hidden locations or easter eggs (at least that I've found, hopefully someone has found something) and the world itself is just bland and there's a serious lack of lore surrounding it. After coming off of Skyrim, Dark Souls and Xenoblade, the world feels boring. Still better than Amalur's. Seriously? There's hidden stuff everywhere with little bits and pieces of loot (some rare and as far as I can tell, unique) but mostly money and components for upgrading equipment. Have you not been exploring at all? Look around a bit, climb ledges, pay attention to the mini map.

People keep mentioning buying something from 'that woman walking around the city' and I'm assuming it's Madeleine? I never saw her in Cassardis, where is she supposed to be? I've tried googling it and apparently she might have just moved to Gran Soren anyway, because I saw her when I followed that knight from the castle. Where is her shop in Gran Soren? I wanna buy stuff  .

Question about the Wyrmking Ring (forging it and what I miss out on and what not): I'm really tempted to keep the ring but I know that the duke tries to give you a reward later and he can't open his special treasure chest with the fake ring and you miss out on it. Can anybody who gave him the real ring tell me what the reward is? I've heard its a cape but how does it look and what special abilities does it have?

Comrade Flynn posted:I've read most of the thread, but just picked up the game and feel a bit overwhelmed. Is there a decent starter guide somewhere? If I'm a mage, should my pawn be a warrior or can I roll with two mages or what? You can have your pawn be a Mage too, and even hire 2 more mages as support pawns if you wanted to. Having your pawn be a Fighter might be a better idea though - they get high defence and aggro abilities to keep enemies busy while you stand back and cast.

Did I miss out on all the fun stuff of the post game? Somebody mentioned meeting a wyvern in the post-game overworld earlier but after beating the dragon I ferrystoned straight to Gran Soren and then fell into the Everfall. Did I miss out on equipment and quests up top? Can I ferrystone out again? Will I be able to go back up top after I beat the Everfall?

I love the game so far, but I expect a large number of people are getting burnt out after 10 or 15 hours. If there are people getting burnt out after 10 hours they should feel pretty stupid. That far into the game you've only seen a fraction of the enemies and an even smaller proportion of the skills and gear. The whole point of DD is fighting cool monsters with cool skills while dressed up in

Maybe you can sequence break it if you do the 'investigate a cult' Wyrm hunt quest before you do 'chasing shadows' (if indeed that is the one where you follow the blonde night and end up at Madeleine's shop) Edit: Speaking of that guy (and Mercedes) [spoiler]are they just not in the game once he and Mercedes duel in the Windbluff tower? It felt like I did that quest and then fought the dragon soon after and that whole storyline ended super abruptly.

I didn't give gifts to anybody and my 'love interest' was Selene because I did 2 quests for her so she had the highest affinity. Unless giving her that herb to turn into ale counted as a gift. At first I thought that it was ALWAYS Selene and it was because she was significant in some way blah de blah she's some old woman's pawn and is turning human or something but then she jumped my character by the campfire :/

NuckmasterJ posted:Man I suck at this game. I'm at the main hub town, and the quest to go down below the pawn guild is to much for my lvl 12 mage, and the bandits outside the main town gently caress my poo poo up. As a newbie character your best bet is to head to the encampment with Rook, do quests there until you create your own main pawn, hire a fourth member, grab all the notice board quests from the encampment, then head back to Cassardis and grab all the notice board quests there (excluding escort quests). Then look for and do side quests from the Cassardis civilians. You'll spend a bit of time doing those and you should have levelled up enough and earned enough gold to equip your party much better when you get to Gran Soren. Since you're already there, just grab all the non-escort quests from the inn's board and from the alehouse and pawn guild, then head back to Cassardis.

Yeah they really should have made L2 into a quick item radial menu. It's be a nice solution that lets you actually bother using all of the weird items you get, as well as quick weapon changing for Mystic Knights, Assassins, Magick Archers, everybody else even! That's the only thing I really wish the game had - weapon changing.

The tentacles that come up out of the ground just causes them to run around in circles, the torpor causes them to run around in circles, the hired pawn healer can't decide who to heal before it gets silenced and magic does no damage. Magic eyes are immune to all damage when they're shielded (glowing purple).

If she's not in the inn, she'll be in Gran Soren in her shop when you get there. Failing to escort her and then give her 1K in the encampment only locks you out of getting a discount, not using her shop. You'll find her shop opposite the Black Cat in Gran Soren - you can see through the windows and it's lit inside.

YESS! I got my Wyrmking Ring transferred There's a trick to it. I waited 4 hours and still no update saying my original PSN account hired the pawn from my alt account. I figured I'd try logging onto the main account and resting at the inn and when I rested again on my alt account I got the stuff  So just to clarify: I hired my pawn, sent a gift, and then left it for 4+ hours and no luck but as soon as I rested on the gift sending character and then on the gift receiver it worked. We all know that our pawns update when we rest, but apparently the pawns that you've hired and released etc are only updated when you rest too - so the game sends all the pawn data when you sleep and all of their new knowledge, gifts, RC, comments etc are only submitted when you visit the inn.

You can either visit the rift stone outside and summon them back or some different guys and hope they don't fall this time (avoid jumping and sprinting around big holes). Anything they had on them is in your storage, don't worry
