Shear Modulus posted:switch to assassin Don't do this To actually raise your damage get better weapons and upgrade them, and eventually switch to warrior and grind discipline levels to unlock the skill that gives +20% strength. The game should give you a quest to decipher a text, which will lead you to a hill with a figure drawn on it. Go search at the figure's spear for some good daggers.

Damage reduction in this game works in absolute terms, so if your damage is too low you will get nowhere against certain enemies no matter how 'well' you play. In some cases, when it looks like you're doing no damage at all, the best strategy might legitimately be to come back later. Here is the list of goon pawns, by the way: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lUyXgocroAVa6dR06-6dO3NgWH44tBa_zzvQrargbKg/edit#gid=0 Just noticed that I'm still the only one with PC deets lol

Basically, play Assassin if you want to use Assassin's abilities, not for the base state increase. Assassin's abilities rock, though; my first playthrough was as mainly an Assassin and it's fun as hell.

I'm biased, but switching to ranger might be an actual good idea if you like the idea of strider but it feels gimpy to you in combat. Ranger still has basically all of the good dagger abilities that strider has on top of really good exclusive bow abilities (10 fold arrow!!). Strider by comparison has a lot of extra utility stuff of questionable usefulness. In other words, ranger ends up being more like a combat fundamentals focused version of the strider instead of the range focused class it's portrayed as. At least that was my experience with it.

The main reason I enjoyed Ranger is because you get a fuckoff huge bow that sends people flying. Really any class with daggers and a bow was the class for me. If Warrior just had 6 active abilities like God intended I'd love Warrior too.

GrossMurpel posted:Hard mode also gives you way more XP which means it actually gets easier towards the end, right? I might do that when I replay the game Yes to the more XP, especially if you also run with pawns at least 25 levels lower than you. Difficulty wise it's all about how over leveled you are. Stacking the easily accessible damage reduction augments is a big help. They get a big boost in hard mode and are basically mandatory for a level 1 start to not get literally one shot by everything. You'll also want to be cautious around certain things like trolls as they're a big difficulty spike relative to contemporary enemies and might surprise you. However with the extra XP you can eventually outpace the difficulty curve and kind of forget it's hard mode at all. Do a level 1 hard mode start it's fun

What you should do is learn to play the game properly. Strider fuckin rules and whenever there's a big bad you should be climbing him and stabbing all up in his rear end.

Tooled up strider pawns are the absolute best in BBI. When I first started exploring I hired a twinked out pawn in full dragonforged gear not realizing what a boon that was. I got into a fight with a dragon that I was way underprepared for, then the pawn casually walks up, jumps, does a Sonic spindash impression and I'm hearing the victory music.

timn posted:Yes to the more XP, especially if you also run with pawns at least 25 levels lower than you. Yes if I do replay it, it would not be NG+. So level 1 is exactly what I was asking about. Also is there a completionist list of when to do which quests? I don't care about managing to get every escort mission right or whatever but it would be nice to actually manage to do anything at all in the Witchwood this time. omg chael crash posted:I might switch to Ranger just because sitting back and shooting dudes seems pretty fun and it’s mostly what I’m doing with my Strider anyway Leaving aside the people saying you are playing Strider incorrectly (they are right  ), yes you should absolutely definitely switch class whenever the gently caress you feel like it. Especially if you're like "wow I'm liking this playstyle", that's what the advanced classes are for.The entire class system is about you switching whenever your heart desires and it's one of the most fun parts.

Also the augments you can gain from other classes are incredibly powerful. It's a good idea to play every vocation to max rank to get a good feeling for what they all can do and unlock all the augments. But Strider is the best and most fun.

This game. Back when PSN gave away Dark Arisen on PS3, I bounced off it pretty hard. "This isn't like Skyrim!" my stupid mind said and I put it down. Years later I am now entering my pawn info for the PC and Switch versions on the Google doc. This is quite possibly one of my favorite games. P.s.- Assassin 4 Lyfe

omg chael crash posted:Should I ever sell anything? I see things that say to store poo poo because I can use it for crafting maybe later, but is anything okay to sell? The way I generally deal with inventory management is to just stuff everything in storage, and forget about them. Then occasionally if I feel like buying something I can't currently afford, I look through my mountain of junk and bulk sell everything that exceeds an arbitrarily chosen limit, usually I aim for 15-30 of every non weapon/armor/accessory item and 2 for equipment. (enough to equip both arisen and main pawn.) Everything else gets sold. The only exception are the powerful or general purpose consumables, those I keep all of.

None of the other classes can set themselves on fire before jumping on the monster so you should play Magik Archer.

I rarely get anything useful back when people use my pawn, and I don't really expect or need it. Best reward is just showing other people's pawns new tricks and quests

The Lone Badger posted:The Longbow is significantly less mobile though. If the bow is an assault rifle, the longbow is a heavy machinegun. Thinking about my play style with Ranger this is actually a pretty apt description. Once your max stamina is decently high you spend a lot of time walking up on groups while mowing them down with an unending hail of arrows.

I've had the wiki page for "which quests can I lock myself out of" open for almost that whole time! Just haven't mustered up the drive to actually do the faux NG+ with choosing Hard Mode and switching back, heh. Also some minor screen-tearing(?) that I don't know how to fix because I'm not a power PC gamer.

Another neat tidbit in case people didn't know is that you can also do the prologue in hard mode. Just quit at the very start and switch to hard mode normally and it will load you into the autosave it created at the beginning. Just watch out though cause the chimera hits like truck and you're stuck with the prologue character + pawns. Practice your timed blocks with the shield and know that dying early kicks you straight into the game proper without a chance to retry.

It's a good idea to play every vocation to max rank to get a good feeling for what they all can do and unlock all the augments. This is basically required if you play Magik Archer (the best class) because despite having an amazing playstyle, it's augments suuuck. They seriously don't synergize or d anything useful. "Make your map fill in a millimeter further" really?
