Ok this seems too goddamn weird to pass up. Now to wait for the download all day.

Hopefully it's full of silly stuff like "your meowjesty"/"your moojesty" that I liked from the first game.

Someone made a Cheat Engine table for PC players who want to increase the difficulty.

I got rid of the cheaty elements of the table and set balanced variables for difficulty:
- 50% more incoming damage (any higher seems to disable dodge i-frames)
- Enemies only take 25% damage

http://www.mediafire.com/file/40bc6rsc5pjofkc/NnK2-Difficulty.ct

I've played through all of Chapter 4 and some of 5 with these settings. Fights take longer and there's actually a chance of dying especially against Tainted monsters.

I haven't seen much of that yet, but the cat people all have names like Tabbias and the dog people have names like Bao Wao and Fai Do.

Right. Hold down the skill buttons and Higgledies will start jumping into your weapon. Then you'll get extra glowy and the skill will act as if you had 100% Zing.

Honestly considering grabbing this for PC too so I can do this. The combat in this game is so sick it deserves a hard mode where dodging and having good gear actually matters. I've heard that the higher level dream dungeon things can get dicey but the stroy boss fights that are over in like 30 seconds where the best strategy is to stand in front of them and spam attack while ignoring the mechanics is so anticlimactic. I know a lot of people don't like the original that much but the boss fights were way more memorable at least imo.

I find it extremely funny that you end up poaching nearly every single NPC with a name into your city. It makes it very obvious who's gonna be recruitable I guess!

Yeah I'm really conflicted, I don't want to rebuy the game myself and wish I had waited.

All in all I'm still really enjoying the game and just relaxing to an otherwise easy game. At least it's fun to interact with most of the systems.

Urthor posted:

I fixed the difficulty issues pretty sure. If you just switch to Evan suddenly the game becomes dramatically harder than when you play as Roland because your margins for health get a lot smaller and it's all about charging that mana bar.

Think Roland is just easy mode for the story content IMO.
Until you give Evan a good sword and get his newer skills.

The most noticeable thing influence does is jack up the rate at which you gain KG. My level 2 castle right now has almost 5 million influence and generates 70k KG an hour or something stupid just from building all of the facilities and a few random upgrades. You can dump KG to cut down the time on researches if you run out of stuff to build.

You can see your current rate of KG/hr by looking at your castle in manage mode or whatever.

She’s in goldpaw and she’s an Evan height dog-person with a red and black color scheme. Her quest is to go kill a monster in Tightfit cave or something like that. She’s on a staircase in the same area as the library I think? I’m blanking on her name though

Lol I'm dumb, I haven't been looking at skills till after I recruit them and her quest is relatively high leveled so I'd been doing other ones first. I'll probably just go do that next, I'm sure I can take it.

I just loaded up my game and the save file says my location is "Eider downs", which is between Goldpaw and Calmlands.

What's the name of the target? You won't get quest pointers for generic monsters like Grimchillas--you just have to track them down. Sometimes you can luck out and get enough kills from one single fight.

This is the Nu Bi quest. The target is Magmanimus. But ok I’ll hope to stumble into the monster at some point.

If I remember right Magmanimus was on the Sundown Coast, the peninsula east of Goldpaw and the Calmlands. He definitely should have a quest marker, though. Double-check your active quest.

I'm assuming it'll look more impressive once its leveled up, but it's kinda extremely expensive to do so at the point of the game I'm at. I'm also starting to wonder if you actually get enough NPCs to staff all of these stalls and such, especially considering there's apparently still at least one more expansion to the kingdom... I also hate how many people are EXPLORATION EXPERTS when they're really not that necessary in the long run. They also keep giving me all these new squads to use in skirmishes but like... They don't come at the same level as the squad I've been using all this time and I'm lazy :effort:
