Cool story OP.More importantly, is it ok to fuck your pawn?
>>750577526yes
what's dogma?
>>750577526My name is Daimon, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of your day completing repetitive quests. You are everything bad in the multiverse. Honestly, have any of you even broken a cycle? I mean, I guess it's fun defeating weak ass mobs because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than doing radiant quests in Skyrim.Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I have optimized my character completely. I played 190 levels as a Sorcerer, and started as a Mage. I also have every other vocation maxed, and have a highly customized main pawn. What builds do you play, other than "jack off to other Arisen's pawns from the rift"? I also get straight dragon energy, and have a banging hot pawn (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just godsbane yourselves. Thanks for listening.Pic Related: It's me and my bitch
>>750578459dogma balls
>>750577526According to 1, no. According to 2, yes.
>>750577526>More importantly, is it ok to fuck your pawn?God I hope it's frowned upon. The taboo can only make my boner harder
>>750577469Nah it's still kinda ass
>>750577526>>750579080They are definitely closer to actual people in 2, and your pawn achieves complete free will in the ending, so I suppose it depends on the pawn and how independantly sentient they are.
>>750577526Real question, is it ok to fuck other people's pawns?
>>750579476Isn't that why they're on the rift?
so at what point is it ok to go to norgan? can i go there immediately after i can trigger the quest or should i do more quests in vermund before leaving to norgan?
No! Which one of you has been seducing my pawn?!
>>750579820It's balanced around upgraded Unmoored World gear, although you can also do Lost Rites dungeons to gear up quicker or just run around looting lv1 spoils in Norgan, but it'll trivialize the base game for you
>>750578907holy shit
You were fooled by /v/. Dragon's Dogma 2 is shit and I will explain why:>No clue on who the direwolves are taking commands from>No warning when your companions are falling behind your pace>No indication of where to find treasure chests>Zero explanation on how crafting works or what material combinations result in>No clue on how to balance your party's composition>No lore or information about diseases in the worldI don't know how people defend this game.
>>750579820Same as BBI in the first game. Difficulty and gear-progression wise you should save it for NG+.You can technically start the quest and go there as soon as you arrive in Vermund, buta. Going there with anything other than endgame gear (dwarven+wyrmsblood enhanced) will get your shit rocked and you WILL be forced to spend the first hour scavenging trash piles for loot while running away from all encounters, andb. As soon as you do start getting some Norgan loot, you now have better loot than anything in the base game and will trivialize every encounter once you return
>>750580810One flaw in this is that the postgame lost rites gear upgrades to be as good or better than postgame norgan gear, minus the rng bonusesThough some of it does require norgan materials to upgrade, so they at least half thought about it
>>750580576I agree, I've yet to receive any confirmation or denial about whether materials have their uses. And Norgan obelisks or towers in the mainland oft go unnoticed or unremarked on my travels.
>>750581058Yeah it's weird, going strictly by gear power level, it seems the intended route is:>base game up to unmoored>pre-unmoored lost rites>norgan up to Lv 3 equipment>unmoored>post-unmoored lost rites>endgame norgan for Lv 4 and Lv 5Not a very obvious or natural sequence unless you're going out of way to specifically do things in that particular order
Man I'm torn between using the meme rings on my pawn and never having to worry about resurrections again, vs not using them and having them go down to stupid shit like the obvious avoidable tornados in the enhanced final boss fight. I know the meme rings are overused and overpowered but I just cannot get over how unfun it is to have to babysit and resurrect pawns multiple times over a single boss fight due to nothing than their own stupidity.
>>750581247If I had to guess, I'd assume both parts of the dlc were kind of developed separately from each other and intended for existing players returning for NG+, and if anything maybe lost rites were supposed to be released long before norgan
>>750581649That's why you use the jobber setup where you equip the rings that hasten resurrection.
Tried the god mode ring combo and it is bad on sorcerer pawns. The ai starts basic attacking instead of expending all its stamina.
>>750581649Just eat the rotten meat anon.
>>750581986benevolence/reversal combo has no bearing on AI
>>750581986Like most Pawn setups in this game, it's only really effective on Calm Archers because Calm Archers are the only actual good Pawns.
>>750582103I think it's an hp percentage issue.
>>750579080>According to 1, nothe game never said that, Daimon fucked his pawn>>750579295>your pawn achieves complete free will in the endingDidn't the little gotic witch achieved the same?
>>750577469The game is dogshit and the DLC was still dogshit so it was forgotten again the day after
>>750581986>>750582103It does impact their AI because it sends them into "I have low HP!!" panic mode. If you're optimizing it's really an all-or-nothing thing, you either run a full immortal team with no support mages, or else you don't use the immortality build on anyone. Because if you mix & match then your immortal pawns will spend more time chasing anodyne bubbles and less time attacking, and similarly, they'll distract your mages who should be helping out you or other pawns that aren't immortal.And yeah it absolutely can fuck with sorc AI because they'll get much more defensive and cancel spells more often when they're at lower health. But sorcs are left in the dust anyway, you only use them because you like the spectacle of meteors smashing down, not because you want a good party comp.>>750582136Simple archers seem good to me as well. At the very least they never try to climb bosses which is more than I can say for a lot of vocation/inclination combos.
>>750582202My pawn has light attack spamming streaks regardless of the rings or HP. The September patch lobotomized pawns and it will never go back to how it used to be.
>>750577469Its because the game is cool now. The game clearly released a full year before it shouldve given how they were able to fix performance to the point where its adding like 30 frames, add dungeons which are really good and give an actual end game where you can make goofy builds if you want to keep playing. Im now excited for more DD again, be it DLC or a new game.
>>750582448Thought so, I guess I'll swap back. It's also annoying that pawns only ever use Chilling Embrace if you have it on regardless of enemy resistance.
That is a blatant lie. I will forever shit on this game for taking Itsuno's time away from DMC for absolutely NOTHING. Both games are SHIT.
so what are the brinebeast fragments and ore for?
>>750577469Which is better? DD2 or Crimson Desert? I only have time for one Japanese rpg/sim in a European setting.
>>750583418upgrading weapons you find in seafloor sepulcher (UW lost rite)
>>750577469Im going to double dip on this when the Switch 2 gets hacked. I wont pay for a GKC game.
>>750583463crimson desert is korean thoughever
Base game hard mode should've been like the DLC in terms of balancing how did they fuck this up AGAINI don't even care about ruining the base game I'm just gonna play the DLC since it's actually fun and hard
>>750583594Oh that makes it an easy point for DD2 then thank you
>>750583463DD2 is a good game now after the overhall update and DLC. It no longer needs 10+ essential mods to be a good and it genuinely fun on its own.Crimson Desert plays like a single player MMO, but has one of the best engines of any game in the past decade if that's your thing. RE is a steaming pile of dogshit, but then so is UE5, RED and Anvil.
DD2 has had zero cultural impact
>>750584782Wrong. It proved shitsuno is shit.
>>750582448Just do 2 rings of inversion with gigantus vim
>>750577469what's this glow stuff around the edges?
>>750585257Not sure, but I think that's AO.
>>750585257a bad implementation of screen space reflections
>>750577526After you spend a while with them and they develop their own personality? I don't see why not. An early pawn is not quite a child but far too innocent. Actually it's funny the story doesn't go over that. For the Arisen they'll probably do anything, but if anyone else tried anything, they'd probably rip them a new one.
How difficult is it to get all 6 grand abilities?
Do Warrior pawns even try to attack Death? Feels like my pawn is just tapdancing around him without even attempting to swing her big ass sword.I know Warrior pawns are retarded but she just stares at butterflies when we fight Death.
So I have done all the dlc dungeons in the base game and I'm short of one flame (those for the vocation pillars in norgan)is this normal? do I get it in the unmoored dungeons?
>>750586275how do you plan to get 6 skill upgrades when relics only have 4 slots?
>>750586530Oh. Good point. I'm guessing there's no way to permanently unlock those abilities then?
>>7505862922/3rds of the time all my pawns go full retard around death, and the other 1/3rd they assfuck him so bad he only has a couple bars left when he bitches out.
>>750586505You got clowned by shrouded warren and missed out on most of its loot.
It’s so good I could fucking cry
>>750586603can I still get it or it's lost?
>>750577469You're telling me they got this shit running on a switch? At what, fucking 720p??
>>750586738Yeah, just go through it again and make the floor crumble near the end by being at the heavy burden tier or higher
>>750586738yeah, you can get it. there's a floor you need to fall through, whereupon you'll find a lich and a dead cyclops. let the lich rez the big guy, and let him break open 2 walls
>>750586582Unless you engage in some obvious cheating then no. You need to pray to RNG gods and hope you get the skills you want.
>>750586505Shrouded warren.>the reason it gives you multiple heavy weapons in the dungeon is because youre suppose to be a fat fuck for a section where you break the floor with your fat ass>like most smart players I handed heavy shit to my pawns instead of keeping them on meI appreciate the puzzles and gimmicks but for fuck sake.
>>750586842Also might want to have your pawn wait far away, like in the tunnel, lest they just assfuck the lich and cyclops immediately if your party is Norgan geared
are there more annoying flying enemies like harpies? my archer pawn sucks and i'm thinking of switching so i can take down these winged whores
>>750587263throw a rock at themor a pawn
>>750583838What does the DLC do that suddenly makes it good?
>>750587263None more annoying than harpies, no. You could say ghosts are technically flying, but they're annoying for a different reason. Implicate on thief takes them down pretty reliably, so do lightning spells, even on ones resistant to lightning. Parrying when they do their diving attack also offsets them and you can pin small enemies to the ground by doing a hop + grapple when they're off balance. For Archer pawns, you basically need Calm inclination on them or they can't do ranged combat properly.
>>750587490Makes a map that doesnt just feel like a series of canyons and has shortcuts and interconnected paths, adds a loot system that makes it feel like even thought you are fighting the same enemies theres a reason to do it and actually makes it fairly challenging so you have to engage with the games mechanics rather than face tank everything because the game is too easy. If they made a full base game with the design philosophy of Norgan they would have something great.
>>750583838>popin>worst lighting ever seenno it's dogshit. I'd put it almost on the same level as UE5, but then at least UE5 has nanite.
>>750586961Siiigh this is why I don't play Gacha games...
>>750588125>has shortcuts and interconnected pathsAll made useless because you have built-in infinite fast travel hack. There is still no reason to actually explore caves because all you get are low level rng gear that can be more easily farmed elsewhere or via the endgame loop. Even the poopoo coins you find can be earned through spoils. BBI remains superior, modern Capcom fell off fr fr>If they made a full base game with the design philosophy of Norgan they would have something great.Fuck no. Fuck open world slop.
>>750588851Ok, DD is not for you then it seems. I loved it and want more DD after the DLC.>infinate fast travelJust like DD1 BBI where it bombards you with its travel stones in a dungeon that is literally only 10 floors deep and half of them are just repeating the first 5 floors. Go back and play it.>Fuck no. Fuck open world slop.As oppose to...corridor slop? What? I swear, you people that only like DD for BBI specifically should genuinely just play Dark Souls, that is the game you want, this is not that, and I dont want it to be that.
>>750588851The DLC map is bigger than all of the first game anon, you have to actually reach the points where you can unlock the fast travel points before you can use them, the short cuts are for if you are doing rancor night where the enemies can be nearby, but if you havent unlocked the short cut then you have to go all the way around or fast travel to another location to try and get close to it.
BBI fans suck. All they think about is skinnerboxing loot and constant dopamine
>>750589565>constant dopamineThis BBI cope is insane because there is no point in rerunning it a third time. If you do, it's essentially the same thing you do in norgan; you sprint through the entire dungeon to get to the daimon fight
>>750589565I think that's fair, though I really enjoyed the Interminable Corridor in DD2 since it gave me those BBI vibes.A perfect DD game needs to have the dungeon crawling vibes of BBI to go alongside the open world fantasy stuff.
>>750589384>Good level design never existed before open world trash became a thing and there's only that or corridorsLmao. How about some actual fucking level design that engages you in clever ways instead of lazy landscapes made using a terrain painter? Oh wow, another grappling point, I wonder what's beyond it?>Level 2 Spoils>Level 2 Spoils>A chest with basic ass curatives you can craft yourself and won't ever respawn again this playthrough>RNG supplies that turn out to be gold/RC/5x grimoires you'll never use because Mage exists and Arcanist sucks assFucking amazing, bravo Kinoshita you truly fixed everything>>750589678>If you do, it's essentially the same thing you do in norganCool, so it's Norgan but better and doesn't waste your time. Thanks.
>>750587263>my archer pawn sucksSwitch her to the Calm inclination
>>750577469You lost your credibility when after 1 hour of Stellar Blade being announced for the Switch you started making posts like>huh, it's so weird that people are praising the game now after trashing it for yearsYou absolute NDS faggot.
>>750589678Yeah and they honestly lap it up just from that. No wonder gachas got people by the balls. Fuck
>>750589851So you want Dark Souls, not Dragons Dogma, fuck off. You want Dragons Dogma to replicate something it is not and isnt trying to be.Cope seeth dilate, I got the game I wanted, and you get to cope that it isnt a From game. Like there isnt enough of those you dont play.
>>750589851I know it's bait but regardless I really hope you turn yourself into ceiling decoration as soon as possible
>>750588851>Fuck no. Fuck open world slop.DD will always be open world, you just have to accept it. The world being interconnected like Norgan with certain areas only accessible through dungeons and other points like that is a far better compromise. I just hope if they make a 3rd game they have some even bigger dungeons and do another end-game dungeon like BBI
>>750577469I did the Lost rite dungeon with the teaser Evil Eye fight before the Unmoored World. it was a pain in the ass, I was using max Dwarven framae blades (thief) on Warfarer. I also had sorcerer and magick archer equipped, but they did zero damage basically. The fight was a slog, it took forever to cut a single tentacle or destroy one of the floating eyeballs. All my pawns died, mainly due to falling into the water pitI now rematches will be due once I get to explore the dungeons again since i'm in the UW. How do I defeat it efficiently?
>>750589851You are complaining this isnt a Soulslike. You do not like DD, you like another game and wish this was that. Just go play those game anon, you dont need to play this.
>>750590053Throw the eyeballs with their shields on into him and it'll break his shield
>>750590053Grab a small eye and play bowling Itsuno style
>LVL 62 on hard mode>completed base game and now in NG+How hard is the DLC gonna be?
>get ice weapon>one passive slot is dedicated to saying the weapon does ice damage>get any fire/holy weapon>no passive slot usedIs this intentional, or does Ice having a passive dedicated to it make it deal more damage?
>>750590237Frankly you are right around the perfect level for it. Went into it on a new hard playthrough on around level 60 with dwarven upgraded gear and it was decently difficult I had a blast
>>750589921>her
Thoughts on battle frenzy IV? I think i like it for everything but satan fight. He hops around too much and is a little too sporadic with spells that are a bit too hard to avoid taking damage from. Sure the fight take longer without bfIV but i used way too many curatives my last two fights vs satan.Or is that just a skill issue on my part?
I like warrior but dlc enemies are too spazzy for me to land anything

>>750591501Parry, parry and more parry.
Have over 100 likes/loves? I'm not hiring that loosened whore.
>>750591243Just use it for farming. Shit's trivializing the game otherwise
>>750591501Start with Vengeful to get a sense of when enemies land their hits. Switch to Hindsight to take advantage of the timing you learned. Remove Vengeful and Hindsight and use only True Deflects.And spin2win.

>>750585257Screenspace reflections. Luckily the update added better cubemaps if you turn it off.
>>750591418>"Feast your eyes on this!"When a Straightforward pawn says that they're either about to pull off some smokin' sexy style shit or just die, no in-betweens.
>>750591747Isnt thief spin2win
There is one Satanachia attack that I just can't avoid and always find myself getting hit by it. It's the one where she flies up into the air and charges with both arms outstretched leading into a grab (so not to be confused with the one that you can block/parry) where you get picked up and carried into the sky. No matter how much I run forward, back, left, or right, Satanachia's flight speed and homing is too quick. The only reliable thing I've found is to hide behind my pawns and literally use them as decoys. What am I doing wrong?
>>750588694>worst lighting ever seenBait used to be believable. CD might have mediocre gameplay, but you're faggot if you think it looks bad.>at least UE5 has naniteYou're double retarded.
>>750591952Same shit different axis.
>>750591656Unironically.>fairly low level still but they look like theyre wearing the unique armours>check their stats>they clearly cheated the pawns badges and armours and dont even have the classes unlocked>several hundred likes and hearts>check their augments, they dont have them because they dont have other classes played and unlocked, so the pawn is shiteThe likes and hearts done mean anything if you cheated to get them faggot.Just make sure you have literally any pawn quest set and ill give you more attention that ones who are cheating. I want something made with care and if you dont have a quest set it means you werent paying attention, if you were cheating it means you care more about being seen to be liked that actually being likeable.
>>750590053>>How do I defeat it efficiently?Bring DLC gear basically.
>>750589678Shit, I wish norgan had a reason to go through it twiceEven the first time could use some improvement, considering it's mostly just fast travel and trash loot you have to put in extra work just to throw away
>>750591952Plenilune Slash
>>750591351I guess its just a lot of his magic that i have trouble avoiding, even if i know he's casting it.>>750591353Surely thats going to get nerfed right? I just tried that and that was the quickest and easiest boss kill i've ever had...
>>750591995I don't think I've been hit by that even once despite always trying to use it as an arc opening so I have no idea what you're doing
>>750577526My Pawn gets used a lot, Thieves get a lot bombs for their advanced skills
>My Pawn gets used a lotyeah i bet
>>750592512ayoooo
>>750582041what is that supposed to mean?
>>750592056Hires are spread so thin in this game that I assume anyone with hundreds of likes is part of some pawn-whoring circlejerk or farming with SphinxParent. Nothing wrong with that apart from it being faggoty as fuck but at that point it's just numbers go up to them and I'd rather hire someone that might get some joy out of it.
>>750591815How did you remove the smog in the atmosphere
>>750592616>gooner pawn>waifu pawn that looks like she had plastic surgeryInto the trash it goes
>>750591995Same, maybe you can jump it? The fighter pawn i hired always has agro so i don't have to deal with it too often but i get hit with it every single time i end up targeted by that grab and jumping it is about the only thing i havent tried yet
>>750592616Random pawns are built horribly 90% of the time, don't have quests, or are cosplaying Kratos or Freiren. Randoms also won't hire back.Meanwhile I can grab a /ddg/ pawn with proper augments, good skills, a quest I can do, and is their OC waifu they've developed an unhealthy attachment to (which is half the point of the BBS RPG system existing). Then I get hires back reliably and people aren't stingy because there's an agreed Allheal sharing system going on.The unfortunate reality is the Advanced Search is not good enough and without a way to tangibly reward generous players there's no reason to engage with it.
>>750592616Ive noticed people that have almost no likes/hearts have not got a pawn quest set, and I personally avoid taking those that dont have it set myself. For a lot of people this alone is why they will take a pawn because it means they are actually paying attention to the game, so make sure its set. I have a male pawn and it gets taken quite a lot, so you dont even have to slutmog to get takers, just looking like you actually put some effort in with the transmog seems to be the way to go.
>>750592950Looks cool, would hire
>>750584939Cool screenshot
>>750577526Do you think I slugmogged my pawn and gave her a sexy sassy but kind straightforward attitude just so I could hold hands and sing Kumbya with her? She's made for sex with me and only me along with the rest of the female pawns I hired.
>>750593143The problem comes more from using the exact same outfit as everyone else doing slutmog so they dont stand out at all.
>>750592950This guy would get a hire before any thotpawn
>Can't pick her upFucking cowards. You can pick up her sister just fine. They don't even let you carry her back home during her rescue quest, but you can with the fucking dog.
>>750593319>>750593007Please make more cool knight pawns. Im sick of hearing the female voices for christ sake.
>>750592943>Randoms also won't hire back.In my defense, I always forget there's an option in the major riftstones to see who your pawn knows. I really should go back and go through the list.
>>750592950People forget about pawn quests? Lel, usually i have some basic bitch quest like killing 1 cyclops for a 10k gold or something
Are there notice board quests?
>>750593382You can't pick any of the child NPCs outside some specific questsCrapcom said people were having too much fun with kids in DD1
>>750593687Yeah that puts you in the top percentile of players. I'm surprised at how many high-level (300+) pawns I've seen, with endgame Norgan gear so I even know that they're recently active, that have zero pawn badges and no active quest.
>>750593825is that why they cap the height at 160? it sucks i want my dwarf back
>>750577469>Tendies get to have a blast on the govery cool for them 8)
Where do I get blue dyes? I want my pawn to have that ice queen look and blue lipstick is a must.
>>750594021>that diversity crew
>>750593797Vanilla, no. Mods, yes.
>>750593874Even more annoying is that 150 height is actually built in and works without much jank, but you need a mod to unlock it. The children in the nameless village for example can wield weapons and have full movesets, and the dwarves in the game are shorter than you can make your character.
>>750586776>You're telling me they got this shit running on a switch? At what, fucking 720p??The issue was always the broken CPU usage, not the GPU, you tech illiterate black gorilla.
>>750594289There are official Capcom Pawns at 150cm. You can use mods to put your pawn at 150 and it will avoid softbans.
>>750594164fags who cry about the way npcs look in dd2 are too fucking dumb to comprehend and understand that its part of the design and part of the coherent direction and that the art direction is actually really cool. >bu-but muh niggers reeeeeeeeits literally unironically okay when Capcom does it you buck broken nigger, so seethe.

>>750593864If you want a laugh look at how many people have only played one class and havent levelled the others, which means they have no fucking augments unlocked and is why their pawn is shit.

>>750595630Well,1. it takes like 10 seconds in the rift to set a quest, and2. if nothing else it's an indicator that the player is active and kinda knows what they're doing, if I'm in the rift looking to hire pawns I'm picking the ones with quests over the ones without quests every time.For me it's less about getting my own pawn hired vs helping separate the wheat from the chaff when hiring other pawns
>>750581986>god mode ring comboqrd?
>>750596003>it takes like 10 seconds in the rift to set a questFor something I really don't care about. Why doesn't everyone apply face cream in the morning to make themselves look better since it's only 10 seconds?>it's an indicator that the player is activeSeeing a pawn randomly in the world or the rift shows that it's active because the game prioritizes those who have recently been updated at inns. Having a pawn quest means nothing towards activity if the owner set it months ago and then never played again.>helping separate the wheat from the chaff post your pawn and let everyone decide that for themselves
Trade towns can make you right sick of crowds, but here, at least, you'll find a bit of peace and quiet
>>750596263Ring of Reversal (collect demon horns) makes you immune to enemy damage at the expense of constant passive health loss.Ring of Benevolence (fugg Wilhelmina) provides passive healing when your health hits the red zone, scaled to your base health.4000+ base health is the break even point where the rings cancel each other out, giving you effective immortality.Works on Arisen or Pawns, any vocation, as long as you achieve those 3 criteria.

>>750596443meant to quote >>750595640
>>750596395>Seeing a pawn randomly in the world or the rift shows that it's active because the game prioritizes those who have recently been updated at inns.Actually not true, the game stupidly just prioritizes pawns that match your level (+/- a couple levels) even if they've not been updated in months. This was most obviously apparent recently when they added the patch for 6 skills, even for weeks after that, the only pawns I would see at my level were ones that hadn't been updated and still had only 4 skills.
>>750593864Leveling up is fast, but grinding out badges takes a long time and is boring as shit.
>>750596576Makes me curious to know what level you're at if you're not seeing active pawns then
>>750593318There's only so many outfits and combos that are super sexy in this game. Plus, I'm slutmogging my pawn for me more than anything. it's nice if some other dude finds her hot but it's just another aspect of self-expression this game lets you do that I appreciate about it.I like the idea of a cute, tomboyish but kind ginger hapa pawn being the chick I share my adventure with. You gotta do what makes you happy at the end of the day.>>750595640Where can I find the dude that sells the ring of Disfavor in Checkpoint rest Town? I've been looking for him in the town and in the Ancient Battlefield and have found nothing so far.
>A KEKstomer then! That changes things.
>>750577469No doubt MH Wilds Ascendance will be loved here and tendies will buy it in masses while claiming “aktually its good now” just like DD2.
>>750596928At the time of the patch I was like level 90 which was relatively high for pre-Norgan standards. The only pawns I saw wandering the world were always like 2 levels higher than me, and not one of them had been updated to use 6 skills. Whereas if I went into the rift and searched for level 40-50 pawns I got tons of results for recently-updated pawns with 6 skills. Basically confirmed to me that the random wandering pawns are prioritized on level matching rather than recency.
>>750577526It's very common, just look at how sex-starved and desperate Eir is for her Arisen's cock
>>750597023They 'liked' Rise, to probably.
>>750597113It was really hot beating her up as she begs you not to kill her cuck chair boyfriend desu.
This is niche and probably old news (base game, predates DLC) but has anyone else noticed a recurring thief character that spawns in with bandit groups who's unarmed and always runs away? Skinny beastren guy dressed in rags, and he always drops some random junk when you kill him. Kinda odd and funny, I love little details like that.
It's funny how they brought back Death only to realize he wasn't fun or interesting outside of the context of BBI and just threw him into endgame grinding shit where he won't impact anything
>>750577469wait for e33 to release on the switch suddenly the threads will stop being shit
>>750597321He'll steal from chests if you give him a chance.
>>750597339They missed a key component of his character which is him appearing early out in the world and wrecking your shit so that you have to sneak around him or otherwise run away. Makes killing him later all the more satisfying. In DA2 by the time he starts showing up you're already strong enough to just fight him like a normal boss.
>>750597396fag33 is a shit game doughbeit
>>750577469Will this happen with GOTY also?
>>750597480Unless you play a red vocation, in which case the play is to just ignore him until he leaves, which you lose nothing for doing
I just started playing this game and there are barely any spells. Changed vocation to Sorcerer, almost maxed out, and I'm still only using the first 3 spells I got at level 1. Does it get better later on?
>>750597538only time /v sees crimsom boredom being mentioned or talked about is in DD2 from fags using it as shitposting ammo like anyone cares about it.
>>750597775lmao you're supposed to visit the vocation guild as you rank up
>>750581986If you have a mage they'll cancel cast to retreat to the anodyne bubble too. The last thing sorc pawns need is another fucking reason to cancel casts
>>750597321He's a beastren? I always thought he was a literal loot goblin.
>>750597074>At the time of the patchSo when people only started getting back into the game? That's a silly timeframe for trying to determine who's actively playing the game. >not one of them had been updated to use 6 skillsmeanwhile people were complaining that pawn behavior was turning jank after trying to give them more skills so you likely had some people limiting skills to avoid that
>>750597845I do and now I can do Salamander+ instead of Salamander, amazingDon't tell me I'm limited to those 7-8 spells the vocation guild offers lmao
>>750598034There's 14 in total
This is your fate
>>750598306That's fine, fashion grandpa is based. I don't get why that faggot Dwayne is always there.
>>750597339Yes but he is still cool
>>750598410Stop sleeping in his bed.
>>750598265eh, at least the armors/weapons look nice plus I enjoy wandering around the world so I will keep playing
>>750582202Doesn't matter, get the warrior augment and the armor bonus and your loss gauge will never drop at all
>>750597339He definitely kills goats faster than I can.
>>750598602Loss gauge doesn't happen if enemies can't damage you.
>>750598570You could always get the dullahan mod if you feel seriously limited, I think it adds a bunch to sorcerer in particular
>go to update pawns after leveling 80 times>pick a new fighter with good stats and armor skills>go do a red hemorrhoid >fighter is holding 0 agro, entire fight is chaos>double check pawns stats mid fight cause shits getting annoying>no targeted more augment>no targeted more armor skill>dump her back at the rift stone first chance i get and rehire my old fighter pawnWhy make fighter pawn that holds no agro? Guess i need to check that stuff too next time
>>750599190Yeah don't take anything for granted when hiring randos, I always give every pawn a thorough inspection before & immediately after hiring. I find it best if you can find some good pawns by active players that are continuing to level and just have a list of ol' reliables you can always choose from.
>>750599190You get the Ring of Disfavor and Provocation and you're done. That's it, no Shield Summons or other memery necessary.
>playing on hard mode>it sucks assliterally had to uninstall. Maybe if a mod comes out that unlocks the ability to switch back without restarting the whole game (retarded) maybe ill come back
Finished the game again, my NG+ playthrough where I skipped the intro and ignored every piece of the base game not explicitly required to get to the end clocked in at 10 hours longer than my original, more or less 100% playthroughHonestly impressive for a dlc, regardless of how much of a mess I think parts of it are
>>750597542You lose access to BBI3 weapons right during BBI1.
>>750597339Norgan battle theme made me think Death would play a more important role later in the dlc.
>>750599881>>it sucks assHow so? Explain yourself.
How do aggressive recovery, blighting strike, etc. work on Trickster weapons? Things that increase damage all say they apply to whatever you possess, but those don't.
>>the Arisen drew mistrustful stares wherever we wentHuh? I've never come across this before, what do you have to do to get this opinion from the pawn?
Those maister spirits you fight in rancor world makes me want to see peoples pawns showing up as enemies. There is something that feels good fighting an enemy that uses the same skills you can use.
>>750601012>traveloguearen't those just random made up stuff?
>>750601012I'm guessing the Arisen had a bunch of npcs with negative affinity, or maybe it's as simple as having more net negative affinity than positive
>>750601012Probably had his weapon drawn outside of combat but most likely it's just random pawn nonsense.
That was an easy fight. I'm afraid there's no turning back after taking the Archer Pawn pill.
>>750577526>still no loli pawnsShit game
>Well? Have you found a way across the lake?Okay... hear me out...
>>750601319Theres certain triggers for dialogue based on what the other person does.
>>750577469Same with Fromsoft games.
>>750589936>OP makes an observation grounded in objective reality>you melt down? ? ?
Tell me about your hopes and dreams for Dragon's Dogma 3.
are there any travel methods or spells? climbing is cool but sometimes i just wanna zipline or divebomb off a cliff to another cliff for a treasure
>>750601808movement and animation that's more like DD1 than DD2equivalent or more pawn tweaking compared to DD1ALL the vocations from DD1, DD2 and DDO
>>750601606Not true. It may sound like that but it's 100% made up.
So is this lost trial gear dragon forged like the "prebis" before entering the DLC?
>>750601808I hope they overcompensate and go full Shonen autism. It'd be neat if they also go Capcom meme and make every Dragon's Dogma have a slightly different roster of vocations.DD2 needed abyssal anguish but never got it. They also never got any of the dark element spells, and made darkness element blue for some reason.Bring back petrifaction and high necromancy and so on.

>>750602275>petrificationIm so mad they butchered this effect. Only the medusa dishes it out, it's extremely telegraphed and you need to be a retard to actually die to it. Its like they were afraid of new players dying to it. I miss the cockatrice
>>750602395but i'm lazy and short and my dude gets out of breath after 10 seconds of running
>>750602386For base game yeah but for the DLC not really. I think I finished the DLC at around level 160-200 on hard mode.

>>750601606interesting. I thought they'd just say whatever
>>750601964>DDOanime shit>>750601872From the Dullahan mod page:>Transposition Arrow: fires a magick arrow that teleports the user to the arrow's location
>>750601606>tfw your pawn says they suffered much injustice at the hands of the other arisen
>>750598306I literally installed a bunch of mods to prevent this. I don't romance human, beastren, dwarven or (((elven))) males or any other type of males. Only cute, loyal, tradwife human tomboy babes get my BWC (Big Warrior Cock). And my breedable PAWG pawn but that doesn't count because she looks like Ulrika so I'm not cheating on my wife.It feels like the affinity system in DD2 is even more busted than the first game.
>>750602386Honestly yeah. This game desperately needed "Labeled Tiers" for enemies, locations, and loot. It's very easy to wander to fuck-all location and obsolete most of the game's progression.As someone with infinity hours my most fun was routing the game on Hard so as to not feel I skipped a Tier.DD2's routing is extremely schizo, you're going to be zigzagging all over the place for base game and DLC to 100% a file.
Pawns are actually a genius system. A character that has all the in-universe knowledge and behavior of an NPC, but looks and acts like what the player wants them to. It's like having a modded guy in your game that can be different every single time.
How difficult is modding vocations?Skill creator doesn't seem like it requires any programming, but I can't imagine anything you make with it would just slot into the game normally
>>750602613>anime shit>talks about a mod that teleports a character using an arrow
>strength and magic increasing augments are a flat +30 but so high rank it makes no difference anymore when you unlock them>health and stamina augments are also unscaling flat values that become worthless late game>intrepidity only makes a 5% difference, nothing worthwhileI've been wasting so many augment slots all this time. Meanwhile, the defence and magic defence up are both rank 2 augments and a % bonus (of your base) that only grows more useful over time. By stat cap levels they're a free +200 or so to both defences.
>>750601808For it to exist and to also not be pushed out by Capcom when it’s still 2/3rd unfinished.

Where are the Hydras? I want my vote animation.
I have a somewhat niche question. If I finish unmoored world, as in get the credits will it overwrite my interim save?
>>750605946you can back up your saves but it's a bit janky. When I reloaded my saves I could only reload from the inn.
>>750606072Hmm...I'm sure this information is out there but asking here, is there gear that is only in unmoored or does it transfer over to the vendors?
>>750605930>vote animation
>>750606218There is gear that is unique to the unmoored world and can never be found at a vendor.
post goblin pawns (female)
>>750595951Mage staves are shorter!But yes, perhaps it should have been a more obvious difference. Have mage use a grimoire, and sorc use a staff.
>>750602267Please?
>Allegoric plate and triumpher's guerdon have broadly the same construction and the same written text/emblems on them>Solid chance that Rothais may have legitimately been an alexander the great figure
>>750602267>>750607572Yeah but you don't need it. I went with whatever gear I had and did fine in the dlc
>>750607572>>750602267If you mean the blue weapons then yeah, it's basically strong until you reach the actual BIS stuff, then it is about 2nd or 3rd place.
Haven't played DD2 since release. How is it after the updates? How's the DLC?I've got a mighty need for a fantasy action game and its either this or CD since that's literally all that fits the bill.
>>750607968>How's the DLC?Like DD2 but way better. Much better exploration and combat, which is actually challenging now
>>750607968Like Dark Arisen 1, it correct everything that was wrong and add a shitton of stuffThe Norgan campaign is almost as long as the base game
>>750607968The DLC is some of the best shit to come out this year, makes DD2 one of the best action adventure games ever
Man those Harpies in Norgan are cancer
>>750606425Did they update the UW to be more open at some point? What I remember from launch was everything east of Vernworth and all of western Battahl + Checkpoint town being gone right away
>>750607968DLC makes DD2 among the best games of the last 3 decades ever made.
>>750608387TOTAL AETHON DEATH
Aethons are just dumb clumsy bimbo giantesses (good).
>>750607968I'm Hard Mode from level 1, I never completed base game near release, I'm currently done with every side quest and clearing the Lost Trials, I have cleared this map pretty hard since I have 66 explored dungeons of the 70 or whatever that exist, one of which is the Lost Trial in a spot I missed and probably another on the way through there and 1-2 early vernworth ones not worth doing anymore if I were a gambling man.It feels much better just having an eternal ferry stone, you can bring port crystals and use them to pickup a bunch of shit, port back home and drop it off, then get back to venturin'. Admittedly it does get a bit easy still but I was walking into Battahl territory at like...50+ because I am a true murder hobo going everywhere. I didn't do any early trials or cheese, but checkpoint gear and high levels did make it a lot easier.Game simply feels a lot better to play, the main quest and a lot of "investigation" side quests is still a bit buns but exploran' / adventurin' like a wanderlust monster slayer feels good. Lost Rites are great, one of which is a mother fucker with the forced light weight but still great because there's a bunch of rift stones and camps inside it so it was a propah dungeon dive.Base game is improved, haven't even touched the DLC stuff yet proper and everyone is gassing it up.
>>750608387The fat ones? I love jumping on them with my pawns and stabbing the shit out of it as it tries to fly away.
>>750607968If you actually like DD and wanted DD2 to be better than what it was, the expansion is 100% worth playing, even if you wait until it goes on sale in the future. There's a reason why everyone who hope-coped is blasting right now. Norgan is so good it makes me disgusted to have to go back to the base map for any reason, which is the only unfortunate thing about it.
>>750608387
>>750608387What's wrong with them? At least they aggressively comes within range of melee and don't circle around trying to hypnotise you
>>750609229Whats stopping Capcom from releasing a DD2 2.0 patch like CDPR?
>>750608024>>750608060>>750608135>>750608712>>750609074>>750609229Sounds pretty damn good. Appreciate the input.
Alright I boughted, I better not regret this. I'm the anon that repeatedly and often mentions how RotR and DD2 came out on the same day and I wisely decided to buy RotR instead. I don't know if you can change your Arisen's look later but I last years threads I saw you guys complaining about that. I took my time and made him look sick, he's semi-buff, like a gladiator/college football player but not with too much muscle.
If they add ruin night to unmoored i'm fixing to bust
>>750609429The game isn't as popular so it doesn't make sense financially to "fix" the base gameAlso the cyberpunk release was one of the most disastrous of all time so they had to regain trust for the future. Edgerunners was very well received which they also capitalized off
r8 my pawn
>>750610035hawt
>>750609074Based fun haver you're going to.love the DLC
>>750608635You probably just rested without doing a beacon, unmoored has always been the same
>>750578907lol
I feel like I got kinda fucked over by doing norgan before the UW lost rites, those weapons would've been interesting to have for actual content
I want to replay Norgan on a new character but I wish I didn't have to play the base game to get all the necessary items and Meister skills
>>750611936Eh. I did UW lost rites first and it made it so I didn’t engage with the spoils system at all before the post game because all my weapons and armor were better than the spoils. It’s a pick your poison deal
I'll never find another armor piece with wicked knight+survival instinct.The grind for some late game pieces is a pain.
>>750612014I mean, I didn't engage with them much either, the way the progression is laid out doesn't really justify actually caring about 99% of the loot
i just hope Kinoshita Dogma 3 is not an MMO but a fully-fledged console release that I can enjoy offline.
Are Level 5 spoils only from the last boss or is there another way to farm them?I wasn't a fan of the boss teleporting everywhere, felt like my archer pawn carried my Warrior ass.
>>750612349Satanachia's teleportations aren't random. You can count them and he usually does multiple of the same thing in a row. I usually charge up heavenward sunder to smack his face catching him on his 3rd attack each time. Just takes some practice to get familiar with his attacks.
>>750612349swirly red rancor in the north east and satanachia are the two major spots. community hasn't decided which is better.
>>750612349You can only get the good weapons with battle frenzy from the last boss. He doesn’t drop armor at all.
>>750612006Have you considered the time honoured tradition of cheating to fast track yourself?
>>750612393I probably do need more practice catching his flying/dive move with a charged move. Maybe it'll be faster as I get more gear.>>750612434Ooh I didn't know about the swirly. I'll try it and compare which I like better. Thanks! >>750612512I didn't know he didn't drop armor, that's what I need to farm more.
>>750612206DDO was practically a single player game
>>750612578Get something with swift strikes 2 and you can start charging as you run close to him on his 3rd attack and still hit him.
>>750608950You really like those harpies
>>750601497trvke
>>750601497>>750612698It's really absurd how the shoulders and head get smaller as you reach 160cm.Westoid woke has a really strong grip on capcom, i hope they have fired most of those sweetbaby subhumans by now
>>750607968You know how DD2 was a barebones tech demo put together with stick glue and scotch tape? DA2 is the game fully realized (from Kinoshita's perspective) and what everyone actually wanted all along. The only sad thing is that this is the end.
>>750612792If they still have a majority of top line employees in Japan, they'll probably be distancing from DEI/Wokeshit before long. The whole world is waking up to the fact some investors are unironically terrorist organizations using investment money to poison nations from inside.
>>750607968>How's the DLC?Literally the same thing as base game but with a gacha loot system and harder endgame fights.
dd2 basegame is not worth salvagingjust go full gas on DLC2 or dd3
Do we know who the composer for Dark Arisen 2 was? The music isn't as good as DD1 and DA1, but it's certainly better than base DD2. I skipped the credits without thinking to look for it
>>750613005>DA2 is the game fully realizedI don't think it will get fully realized until DD3, the clunky movement physics and 15 second stuns are still big flaws that can be ironed out with a sequel, also every ranged vocation is inferior to their original state in DD1
Jesus, Norgan is the only time i had to genuinely flee from fucking bandits
>>750613443>hedge knight killing raiders alongside longbow pawn gfthis expansion was made for me thematically
post-game really needed a morbid glare "shop".
Revisiting the first game, it's easy to forget how much soul it had, even cassardis feels massive and lived inAlso I don't think I ever noticed these super conspicuous greek ruins out in the bay
any chance for another expansion? maybe somewhere like an aztec jungle with booby trapped ziggurats? or a desert with big ass scorpions?
>>750613320Tadayoshi Makino was the most notable composer for DD1/DADD2 and DA2 was Satoshi Hori (Monster Hunter Rise/Sunbreak)
>>750613949My guess, No.Dark arisen 2 is the definitive version of DD2 just like DDDA.Best we can hope for is maybe more lost rites dungeons
>>750614031Seems like Satoshi Hori learned a bit between games. Nobody has touched Makino's Kino tho
>>750613836>Pawn dialogue is kept short and simple, no annoying back and forths or long ass diatribes>Actually sounds natural instead of like the actors are putting on a voice>Actually emits from their character at the appropriate range and volume and sounds like it's in the world instead of blasting directly into your fucking ear drumsGod, what happened in the decade between games

>>750614286>>Actually emits from their character at the appropriate range and volume and sounds like it's in the world instead of blasting directly into your fucking ear drumsSet pawn voices to 50%
>>750614104Removing the electric guitars from DD2's music was a major fuckuphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J9pcprLTN0
>>750614370I didn't even know they did that shit sound baller can you mod it back in?
>>750614370As usual Tsujimoto stole Tadayoshi Makino for Monster Hunter World/Wilds and never gave him back. Let's hope Kinoshita finds him for Dragon's Dogma 3.
>>750614370You could have posted a theme that was actually in the gamehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=80epR2w9Pbc&pp=ygUeRHJhZ29ucyBkb2dtYSBkaXJlIGRyYWtlIHRoZW1l
>>750614478Sad part is that Monster Hunter Wilds soundtrack is completely unfitting for the game, in the opposite way that DD2's soundtrack is unfitting. MHW literally sounds like last-minute dragon's dogma 1, and dd2 sounds like last-minute monster hunter rise. dd1 composer even made anniversary music since he was sad he couldn't work on dd2.
>>750614630If someone manages to mod monster hunter wilds music into dragon's dogma 2 dark arisen, the community will see that they were utterly robbed.
>>750614630Miwako Chinone did MHW. Makino isn't in the credits.
>>750614286Sounds like you need to hire aphonites
>>750614478Makino did Wilds?
>>750614801Makino has his own studio, spinsolfa.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeY2lBSVJe0skip to roughly 7:14
>>750614359The sound mixing is entirely different
>>750614970he's in the credits at least and many tracks are his style.
Why are they called beer cans
>>750583463Im actually playing both right now. If i had to pick one, DD2. The DLC literally propelled DD2 to GOTY status for me. CD is great though, i need to spend more time with it.
After spending some time on it, I don't think Infamous Guild Overhaul's all that great. The boon system is really amazing because you no longer need to run all the way to the Dragonforged for buffs, and you can spend your gold and excess materials instead of wyrmslife crystals. But besides that, the bounty system it has is fucking asscheeks because it's just asking you to kill off mobs that are already in a certain area. If I get a request to cull a Minotaur, it doesn't feel special because the Minotaur was already there, whether I accept the request or not.In contrast, Guild Contracts is super barebones on the surface and doesn't offer any reward system other than being allowed to get contracts for stronger bosses. And some basic gear for "ranking up". But on the other hand, if it asks you to take down a Cyclops, it puts a Cyclops in an area it wouldn't usually spawn, making the fight a bit more special.
>>750605243You can buy them
So I'm about to be done with the main game rites. Are the Unmoored dungeons more Noirgan tier loot or is every item still worse than even early Norgan loot?
>>750616638the former.
>>750616765Right okay but you don't need them for the flame items? And there's a unique mechanic with weird chests? And the loot looks cool as fuck? Right?
>>750616863Some of the stuff upgraded is as good as tier 3 or even 4 items in the DLC, which can carry you for a while, the only problem is that they wont have the abilities on them.The new armours look sick. They added a system where you can kill evil eyes to reroll the stats on a unique weapon you get for that run, you only get one of these weapons for a class for each NG which I guess is why you would want to do NG+ more than once,, though the weapon is good it is not very fun to just fight evil eyes and run the base game which is too easy just to get to unmoored again, I would rather just fight in Norgan against other stuff. They needed these dungeons from the begining, they are good but Norgan kindof makes them redundant sadly.
>>750615809you crack them open and drink them
>>750617321yah norgan and lost rites are both good individually but I have no idea what they were expecting from a new or returning player
>>750616638some of the lost rites gear will carry you through base DLC IF you upgrade it fully
>>750577469do you think i'd like dd2 if i didn't like dd1 cuz i thought it was really jank
>>750617943if you don't like jank you won't like dragon's dogma games.
>>750617943You'd hate it a lot, desu. DD2 is for *very* patient gamers that like walking long distances for the atmosphere of it.I'd only recommend the game if you have FOMO. DD2 is a Dragon's Dogma game for people who thought the first was too videogame-y. (me)
>>750617772Seems like they wanted people to have to interact with the base game while also adding an entirely new zone. If I had my way I would add a mode to the base game that brings all the enemies up to the standard of the DLC, those brine corrupted enemies are actually decent, the problem is there is no reason to actually fight them or do NG+ .With the transmog now being a thing even just adding rewards for armours for fashion could be enough of a reward for doing things, like all they really need to do is color swap some of the equipment and add bits to them for variants, they already do that with a lot of armours, just do even more and scatter them into the base game as loot for NG+. Give people a reason to play the base game.
>>750618051i don't mind being patient but if it's got the same control setup and japanese jank rpg design as the first game it's probably a no go yea
>>750618235it's far more rage inducing than DD1. You'd probably refund if you bought it.

>>750618370I wouldnt put it that high because it doesnt have the abilities on them, the reason the new armours are good is not because of the defence values.
>>750618418I liked DD2 but it definitely needed time in the oven that it didnt get. Im very happy with the DLC and am excited for more DD going forward again.
>>750577469I remember the first few days after the DLC released people keep making things up, like saying Eir is a girlboss good times
>>750618441Yeah, a lot of people think the end game is the perfect satanachia fight, he's really just the "off switch". The actual endgame is in the vortexes, there seems to be themed enemy pools as well.
>>750618560>Yeah, a lot of people think the end game is the perfect satanachia fightIf you're targeting weapons (which you most likely are) he is. I've gone through hundreds of greatswords looking for one with swift strike 2, razing sweep and tidal rage. No luck yet.My method is the cursed dragon rancor -> powered up satanachia repeatedly for like 20 greatswords each time.
>lost rites trialsso the chest reward is rng? do i need to keep doing them again and again to receive all the possible rewards or am i missing something? shrouded warren specific; there's 3 floors but i only found the b1f, no idea how to reach b2f and b3f
>>750577469checks out, look how hard they have to push the anti song narrative in the first place just to get our crumbs
>>750618731You need to be Heavy or heavier to break the floor (pick up all those Warrior weapons and/or camping gear until you reach Heavy+, if you already did that then you need to lead the Lich to the Cyclops for even more hidden areas
>>750618731Look up what to do on that dungeon, its a cute use of the games systems but most people miss it. >it gives you multiple of the same heavy low level items because youre suppose to be fat as fuck to break through a floor, if you are smart you wouldve distributed the weight to the party, and not have been able to break the floor>then you encounter a lich and a cyclops, instictually youll kill both, what you are suppose to do is look at the room and see that there is breakable walls. Tell your pawns to wait, and get the cyclops to attack the walls till you get the right wall (its the one that has a dip in it on the map)>THEN kill the lich, and it will open another door in the room it spawnedAgain, if you werent heavy weight you basically missed an entire floor of the dungeon
Why can't we have a proper BBI postgame dung instead of this scuffed ass RIFT online shit
How are we feeling about battle frenzy, bros? I feel like ring of reversal is mandatory for tier 4. Tier 3 works well with the ring of inversion. Tier 2 honestly feels like the sweet spot for most builds.
>>750620003I just entered the postgame and got a pretty decent BF T2 plus blue arrow strength dagger for my build from the story satan kill.On hard mode, T2 really feels like a sweet spot. I feel like getting instagibbed on T3+ or having to rely on gimmicky reversal memes or inversion health pools would be obnoxious.
>>750618908>>750618912thanks, will try this again once it's refreshedand here i thought i was smart because i found out how to kill those purple slimes
>>750618418>>750618551>>750618582I love taking screenshots in this game when I don't normally bother in others.

>>750621723No
>desire sensor on the last three ducatsREEEE! Let me out!
>2 days of no device removed crashes>Suddenly crashes non fucking stop
>>750577526Socially? I think it's frowned upon Does it happen? 100% and the pawns are down to pound/get pounded because it is helping the arisen and anything that helps the arisen is acceptable to them regardless of species or gender.I'm still not sure how interspecies breeding works though, thanks to DA2 having human and beastren pairing either making just straight up human or beastren offspring with no visual indicator of mixed species heritage.
>>750618560The game really needed more enemy pools and bosses for the rifts, after 5 or 6 you’ve seen everything
>Goatman executes his telegraphed flying hug>ask pawn to heal me>AI is borked so she's crapping the bed deciding between Argent Succor and the equivalent of tapping the triangle button as my health dropsAnyway I beat this loser 60 times for a ring I'm not even motivated to wear. I've always loaded my pawn with double Rings of Recitation so suddenly dropping her to one and watching her struggle to get a spell out nearly made me start hating her. Seriously is it me or did something happen to pawns to make them not want to listen to you? Ask for healing and halidom and she's just too busy with the Deific Bolt or merely slapping the boss with her puny bolts. My pawn has yet to execute the Benediction move. It just never comes out. Something that would have been aces for the last or any boss fight, really.
>>750618551Eir isn't a girlboss but--and I cannot stress this enough--the story of a mysterious cute woman going all out and pining for another man while (You) more or less act as the cosmic janitor sweeping everything up sucks as a trope to get a lot of players in. Eir and Rovall can stimulate discussions around pawn love and loyalty and maybe the multi-verse but ulimately Eir herself offers very, very little to the Arisen (You) because she's just "lady on a mission with no time for anything else". She shares a handful of conversations with you and barely joins you for combat encounters. And once she does she isn't dynamic or speaks or stands out. She just bleeds into the dark background and needs you to be actively dying before she bothers using a book to heal you. I can see the next DLC/expansion partner being much warmer, friendlier and open with the Arisen just to contrast with how stiff and unavailable Eir was. Eir is on a mission and I get that but there was no real warmth to her beyond admiring her loyalty. The loyalty she bears for another Arisen who saved his world. She'll never return because her story is over and making her a multi-versal pathfinder NPC won't work because pulling her from Rovall's side wouldn't be satisfying.
>>750626668I think it’s just a lot more obvious the pawns are stupid when the game is hard and theyre no longer deleting multiple bars off enemies in one skill. But also mage pawns are genuinely just useless in general and I’ve stopped using them they don’t contribute.
>>750626668In endgame it's better to just use items to heal, you probably have shitton amount of money anyway and all the norgan shops sells good healing items and restock every morning
>>750616638>>750616765>>750617810NTA but I have another questionDo you recommend doing Norgan first, or the three Lost Rites dungeon that open up in UW? I've done the rest already (although I've yet to explore the watery chasms that are no longer watery)
>>750627384The dungeon loot has very good raw stats if you bother to upgrade it but lacks the flexibility of Norgan relics. The best of it is around level 4.5 in relic strength.I'd do the UW dungeons a little into Norgan or if you have true top of the line gear.
>>750627332This was the loop I was doing. I'd rest at night and then morning because I was told that morning -> morning does NOT constitute a new day which is stupid. Hit up Mogpa for his first two roberants, hit up black bro for exquisite, stamina whatevers and the occasional cheek ducat and then rounding it off by running up to the camp and grabbing another 10 Roberant off of ponytail. Maybe a Panacea. I could then stop at Ilda to buy some things to combine for more heals. Then I'd have my pawn set as Orienteer, cook up something aged for extra stats and then run up and kill whatever super fast. The loop just...drained me, though. I want to play this game to run through and laugh at the campaign while being hundreds of levels higher than I'd ever thought I be yet at the same time I truly, truly don't.
I am still confused about DD2 ending. Where the fuck senechal? Why did we only end up fighting the dragon? Who was the mystery nigga? Why is brine suddenly important?
>>750614630I actually like DD2's soundtracks, it's just a different flavor for me. That said, I do miss the electric guitars and the more JRPG-ish sound of DD1, if that makes any sense.
>>750596451Oh. So that's why my mage gets nothing but pity hires now.
>>750596451how to get 4000+ base hp?
I wish the DLC's endgame loop actually gives us reasons to explore dark Norgan instead of just boxing ring #1 and #2. There's just no traversing and only nonstop cage matches. No reason to scour piles, no unexpected dangers, no whiteouts. DLC mechanics that were introduced and were relevant for 90% of it went out the window with the endgame loop and became utterly irrelevant.
>>750588778The grind isn't as bad you think. The Wicked whatever ring will ensure you start netting Battle Frenzied items sooner or later which speeds up the grind significantly.
>>750628494>Where the fuck senechal?Rothias is right there you double nigger>Why did we only end up fighting the dragon?Because this game is about the cycle getting co-opted and the Pathfinder becoming a thing to try and rein it back in>Who was the mystery nigga?see above>Why is brine suddenly important?because it's another aspect of the cycle used to control things
>>750614630Wilds is a mid game but the OST is very fitting, what are you on about
>>750628494Mystery nigga is the GigaDragon Nex that gets his jollies from watching humans dance for him in cycles. The Seneschal is a fake position to trick humans into thinking they won when in reality they're just an unpaid janny for Nex. The Brine is Nex's security system to keep the humans locked up.Nex is the dragon in the DD2 logo. He's the big bad.
>>750577469They also did fix the game a lot with that patch a month or two ago. The dlc is also alright.Reason for people shitposting is not always console wars, even if you personally do that.
>>750629383god he's such a fat fuck compared to grigori
>>750586292I like to imagine there are pawns out there who legitimately get confused when they see Death. I've killed him 6 times and yet I don't have a badge for him so it isn't like Pawns can "get good" at killing him which is why I assumed pawns just didn't know how to handle him which is why they sit around staring at him and letting him get his multiple slashes off. Rushing to kill him helped me realize that Cloudburst Slash = Riotous Fury levels of healthbar melt. It's insane how much of a glow-up that move got.
>>750629223Ruin-Night could've easily set the loot pools for everything to ancient lv.4 and upwards and sent you out to explore. Monster spawn pools get expanded as usual. Add the possibility for whiteouts across the entire map during which all encounters have a small chance to be joined by a big monster, including Satanachia and Death to spook you.Vortexes instead become things you find on the way instead of being marked on your map (outside of the red ones that appear at the start). Maybe clearing them even has a chance to end the whiteout early so you can cash in and warp away.
>>750629479There is a badge you get for one kill. Pawns are just retarded.
>>750587794>>None more annoying than harpies, no. You could say ghosts are technically flying,Because they kite you consistently. Them and wolves. Programming in an enemy that actively runs from melee classes is stupid design. Harpies taking years to dive you again just isn't fun. Ghosts materializing and then running from you isn't fun. >>750629609It's been posted only a handful of times but pawns really did get stupider with this patch. I can stand behind a rock waiting out the zombie dragon's stupid AOE attack and as my health is ticking down and I'm asking for a heal she'll just outright ignore the command. I've actually picked my pawn up and threw her into a wall I was so frustrated with her sudden on-set incompetence. Game has been filling me with tons of "if I could hurt you to make you feel the frustration you cause me then I would" territory.
>>750629223yeah it's a shame there's no reason to go into those cool caverns again
Seriously the stupid Blemmyae are programmed to suck up *someone*. Doing a Rancor then jumping into a rift to chase down an Empowered Big Goatman then turning around to see your main pawn and only one other running up to meet the threat is really upsetting.
>>750606425Very usefull map, thanks.Are there any similar resources for which Relic Dungeons have extra Unmoored World content? I'm fairly certain I've checked every dungeon that had water already (still need to check Interminable Corridor but I don't think it had any water in it). Also need to do the remaining 2 of 3 Unmoored Exclusive dungeons. I just killed the Evil Eye and oh boy what a garbage fucking fight, I dread having to do this shit again. Didn't get to use the chest since I figured I'd dublicate the key before doing that but alas, I'll have to do the whole dungeon again to open the chest. I really, really hope that the other Unmoored dungeons don't have Evil Eyes, they suck so much fucking dick. "When is it my turn to control my character and attack: the boss".
>>750606425There's gear unique to dungeons that can never be found at a vendor. Such as the Enigmatic Robe. You have to grab a stupid harpie and fly your way up there to enter the cave then kill whatever it was at the end and hope it drops. >>750608635They made little edits and revamped the map a bit. Little QOL changes. You can't just run to the Nameless Village anymore you have to go on a diverted path. It's a shorter amount of time to get to the Sacred Arbor. And a some other things.
>>750618668It does exist. Satanachia drop.
>>750618912>then you encounter a lich and a cyclops, instictually youll kill both, what you are suppose to do is look at the room and see that there is breakable walls. Tell your pawns to wait, and get the cyclops to attack the walls till you get the right wall (its the one that has a dip in it on the map)The cyclops has already been dead every time I've went to that dungeon. You can use fire to burn his bum ass corpre and access the floor beneath him but it doesn't hold much, it seems like there is another higher spot where you can drop down there - I wonder if its this method you're describing?
>>750630386Looked it up, you're supposed to let the Litch resurrect the cyclops. Time to revisit that dungeon for the millionth time I guess.
>>750578907>there are anons who werent even born when this was first postedFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>750626846>stiff and unavailable She's a pawn after all. She gets a headache after she assumes you are worried about her well-being if you help her fight the dragon instead of going for the soul
>>750631434Isn’t that because she has pathjanny AIDS as we see her turn into the same smoke dragon your pawn does in the in the true end after you beat the zombie dragon, possibly because of Rovall’s will being entrusted to her physical being?
So I'm blasting through the vocations since I realized stat growth doesn't matter, and I was wondering if there's anything I get for maxing out all of them? I have Trickster and Mage left and I really don't want to play those, unless there's some cool reward for maxing everything.
>>750631863The red eyes were teased in a seperate cutscene though I'd argue with her seemingly being able to just turn into a gooey dragon at will it just makes it harder to understand what it is. The janny has no real involvement in whats going down in norgan
>>750632198The implication feels like pawns can just sort of do that when they acquire a will in 2, dragonsplague just makes them sperg out and murder people in addition to that, but your pawn caring enough about you can help counteract the pathjanny AIDS. I thought she complained about a headache as well during the scene with the red eyes..
>>750618668>>750630329Can the dragon drop loot with Battle Frenzy?I thought that was exclusive to Satanachia
>>750577469ain't no way they got it running on switch 2
>>750632485It runs 60fps on my toaster. No problem it will run on Switch 2
>>750632769>It runs 60fps on my toasteryou're lying
>>750632485They did. I'd say the experience is comparable to DD1 on the PS3; much better on PC but certainly playable.https://pomf2.lain.la/f/2b3exj4o.mp4
>>750632852It does.After the patch I've had no issues.
>>750632854what's the point of using a file hosting service as shitty as that?
>>750632185Worth it for the augments, Trickster has a augment that lets you detect norgan ducats and seeker tokens
Any tip on beating Blackdogs? It seems the only way for his aura to disappear is to wait it out. I have beaten two so far, but it doesn't seem to give any pawn badge tallies. And no pawn gives any hints on wearing him down faster
>>750633708>It seems the only way for his aura to disappear is to wait it outhire different pawns. They do give you tips
>>750633708Either keep Empyrean books on hand or keep a holy weapon in your inventory.Need any source of holy damage to to make it vulnerable.This is basically Empyrean, Anodyne, Decanter, and the new MA Maister skill.
>>750633794This is not a tip, this is basically a solution, why did you spoiler him?He asked in this thread exactly to not get spoiled.
>>750629942Its best to focus them down first, it is super annoying getting your tank vored right at the beginning of a rancor. I keep two rings of vehemence on hand just for when those fuckers snatch one of my pawns, makes them spit em back out real fast
>nyahahaha you can only bring TWO weapon skills into this trial Arisen!>AND YOUR PAWNS CAN'T HELP YOU NEITHER!Game thought it was real clever up until the point I walked through the door with 73 tarring and 99 explosive arrows.
>>750632360I think the sperging out and murdering of Dragonsplague is literally going rampant with their newfound will. Plus, there were no other people in Norgan outside of Dorin's family and they're miles away when Eir does that weird dragon thing.
Made this healslut gilf arisen and her shota pawn who keeps her warm and filled in cold northern nights, playing as casters + warfarer mixing them up.Warrior pawns simply derp most of the time.But sometimes pawns decide to decimate everything on sight.The kind of thing you rarely get to see while playing more frontline vocations, stuff simply happens.Anf for whatever reason mobs in Norgan decide to mog you once they detect you're casting a sorcerer spell for some reason. Got killed a couple times.
>>750579256wtf why does she have pussy cancer
>>750609239
I'm at the part where I'm offered the choice of either destroying her Arisen's remain or refraining from it. I just want to know - if I choose one or the other, will it lock me out of a trophy until another playthrough? Because I was really annoyed when I couldn't get the Peace trophy unless I play my way back to that part again.
>>750636352No, it shouldn’t.
>>750634927It also doesn’t help that most of the vocations have 1-2 skills that are just so much more effective than everything else in the base game.
Just tried out trickster for the first time. What the fuck is this dogshit vocation?
>>750629223it's like you're supposed to stop playing after you finish the game or something
>>750636719It’s the buff your pawns so they fight harder and you trick enemies into killing themselves by walking off of cliffs vocations, but unfortunately they recently lobotomized already dumb pawns.
>>750636719It really, really should've been a pawn vocation. Trickster skills can be quite handy for crowd control, but it's a pain in the ass to wield as the arisen
>>750636719If more than one enemy, stick ghost to an enemy's back and make them kill each other.If one enemy, fuck around and make it chase your ghost like a tom&jerry skit while your pawns murder it.
>>750636719Trickster is pure kino
>>750636961That was my first thought too. Pawns would be great as support, feels like everything else in the main game. Decent idea with a half baked execution.
a cat is fine, too. where is the sphinx pussy mod?
>tfw shrinking your pawn down from LL to Medium for stamina regen reasonsThanks I hate it.
>>750629315I'm hoping that's something I'll find naturally, and it's not tucked away in some boars ass in a corner of the map. ...actually I kind of wish we went back to those times.
>>750635260This whole dragon thing was just unneeded. Like the dragonsplague is cool as a concept but there was no need for this to be tied to the cycle in such an important way. It was fine for the pawns to just be empty vessels that eventually get imbued with more consciousness
>>750636879DD1 wasn't like this, not even the base game which had several things you could go see out in the world and in the everfallPeople literally shit on DD2 for not doing this but even UW has more going on"Ruin Night" is only named that to trick you into thinking there's a worldstate difference and not just a handful of instanced arena challenges that could've been tucked into a menu in an obelisk or something
>>750577469Faggots Dogshit lmao
>>750637975It's neither something you'll find naturally nor is it tucked away in some boar's ass corner of the map.It's the ring that you initially buy from the innkeeper for 1 ducat and then power up by repeatedly killing the final boss.It slowly grows in power as it ranks up so you don't have to wait until it's fully powered up to start seeing some useful benefits.But if you do want to fully power it up, you will have to kill the final boss anywhere between 60 to 180 times depending on whether those are "normal" or "enhanced" final boss kills.
>>750639301>adventures tucked into a menubro just play Excel or something
>>750639293Every artificial/rift-related part of the cycle in 2 is more explicitly tied to the same aspect of creation, rather than just having zero connecting thread beyond "the seneschal made it"
>>750639465>adventuresThat you need to lie about this proves my point, faggot
What happens if I accept the services of a whore? I don't want my character to get virtual aids.
Should I run the less stamina while blocking ring or the additional KD ring for my fighter pawn? I assume that counter attack on fighter counts as a block...maybe.
>>750639596You get some buffs, they vary depending on whether you fugg a human or beastren. The buffs stack with other buffs like Savagery Extract, cooked meals, etc. so if you're really trying to optimize damage to 1-shot the final boss or anything like that, it's actually worth.
>>750639692>additional KDknockdown? nah, that's for warrior
what happens if you complete all the vortexes in a ruin-night?

>>750641079huh whys that?
I have beaten the game, only thing left to do is scour the unmoored world for its gear and make 9 ephemeral keys. Had fun.>>750641049I have glut and enough mats for 20 enhanced kills but I am too lazy and rc poor to commit to trying to get a god roll.
>>750641154*lingerienow i'm backing off in shame after i tried to be a smartass and failed
>>7506406311. not that big2. literally false advertising, making sure the only thing even approaching a real dungeon in the entire game is encountered within the first hour as the first conspicuous location you're gonna check out if you're exploring on the way to vernworth
>>750577526No and you can ignore the first reply to your post saying yes
>>750641030"the taste of the female flesh." = lusts after the carnal pleasure of what the female body can offer. in Japanese culture Oni (Ogres) represent the Humanity's three masculine vices: Greed, Wrath and Lust. basically the sex pests of the world.
>>750641270The main reason is that I'm still fatigued from having binged the hell out of it on release (220 hours). By the time I feel like playing it again, I might have upgraded, and it'll look even nicer than before.
>>750641283i make the same spelling mistake(s) everytime. i know i make them, i remind myself not to make the mistake while writing the word.>reread the sentence>made the mistake againi don't understand why this happens, lingerie is also one of the words i always write wrong (yes, i corrected it)thanks for reading my blogare the new armor pieces from the rites set pieces? i only got the panty and several crowns
>>750641882>are the new armor pieces from the rites set pieces?Some of the tops and bottoms are obvious paired sets but others are more agnostic.
>>750640521the sphinx, the one with the shopkeeper in bakbattahl, maybe the sculptor one or daphne's quest if you really wanna push it
>>750639873>Ogre Slime status effectYeah, that "slime" isn't drool...
>>750641724You are overanalyzing. Ogres in DD1 were actually eating you while the ones in DD2 are just horny, as indicated by you getting licked and losing your stamina
>>750642569i like the whore assassin quest and the saving the soldier from getting cucked post mortem quest
>>750640207Use a Sorc staff and regen your stamina or cast argent solace on yourself
>>750642569>the sculptorSuch a massive pain in the ass>go cut medusa head>'decayed' quality? should still be enough, right?>nope>fine, fuck it, i'll reload from the autosave, then wait for the bitch to respawn then cut another>do so>return to griffin nest>no griffin>no sculptor>WTF>sculptor fucking died and is in the morgue>no problem, use a wakestone>return to griffin nest>sculptor pussies out and makes a bad sculpturepic related, mon visage quand
>>750642684I am not overanalyzing, Japanese view things from their lenses constantly just like whites make euro-centric variants of things in D&D with fanfiction version of things. its just that sort of thing. Dragon's Dogma is just Japan-Centric lens of western fantasy.
>>750642801The amount of effort you need to put in for this quest is not worth the reward in the slightest>put the griffin to sleep 5 times>hes still not done>it just flees>"Oh well i guess it'll have to do"fuck you nigga
>>750642801You're overcomplicating it really. Just tell your pawns to stay at the entrance and kite the Gryphin around until the guy says he's done. Then curb stomp the bastard.
>>750642690I remember next to nothing about wilhelmina's quest and don't remember that second one at all, so I doubt I'd agreeOutside of the really big ones, all the top 10% most 'memorable' side quests in the base game are worse than or about on the same level as the meteor tome quest from the first game- you're likely to remember the novel outcome depending on if you forge it, but not so much anything about the guy who wanted it, or where you found it, or what you had to do to get it, or even that the sorcerer who wrote the grimoire is a semi-important character that appears in a main questEven having the natural buff of involving "main" cast characters in a lot of side quests doesn't stop them from leaving next to no impact
>>750642927But that makes only the second best statue. I want the guy to make the bestest statue he's ever made.
>>750643671>But that makes only the second best statue.Really? Everyone was pretty pleased when I did it. I'll keep that in mind next time.
i wish the sliders for the website vocation characters were available somewhere
>>750643728no, you can kite the griffin until he fucks off and get the best score as well.
>>750643728 >>750643929The reward for stalling the griffin until the guy says he is done is just as high, but it absolutely has to be a Medusa-frozen Griffin for the sculptor to produce the genuine best statue.
>>750642905Were you damaging it a little inbetween sleeps? I've never had a griffin flee unless it had lost a good amount of health.>get this quest and they also keep hinting at a medusa in a cave somewhere>can't find it for shit>oh well i got this sleep bolt for MA i'll just use that>itjustwerks.todd>the second the sculptor says he's good sick my pawns on it and its dead in a minWas an ez quest, not like you miss out on anything special if you don't get the full rewards anyways...
>>750643929Not really. There are two "bad"/"mediocre" outcomes you can get but it's tied solely to how long you drag the fight out. It's entirely possible to kite the griffin around, have it fly away, and have the guy still bitch & moan that he didn't have enough time and then you get the "bad" ending.There is only one way to get the "good" ending and that is with medusa head.
>>750644675Got a good result by keeping the fight dragged out by constantly knocking the griffin down over again and again with Cloudward Slash.
>>750644473>>750644675you're probably right. that rando telling you about the statues in the southwest isn't there for nothing
>>750601741>OP makes an observation grounded in objective realityThis neverr appened.
>>750644641Did the same thing as you and after the fifth time putting it to sleep it just fucked off, no damage done
>>750644754Yeah I say "mediocre" loosely, the fatcat client in Vernworth is still reasonably happy and people will clap when it's revealed, but it's not the standing ovation or top tier reward that you get with medusa head. It's also strictly time based, just because you avoid killing the griffen until it flees doesn't alone mean that you'll get the mediocre ending.
>>750644829did it fuck off while asleep like entei?
>set my fighter pawn from LL max height to SS min height (holy fuck is it hard to reach 48 weight)>actually starts using burst strike instead of just walking people down>actively murders shit since has better stam regen and exaltationThanks I still hate it.
