Playing Dragons Dogma 1 on PC for the first time blind. All I know is that it's a pretty in depth character building RPG where you can also create your party members I think. What am I in for? Any tips?
>>736540407Avoid escort quests unless you really really want the rewards. They are only there for raising affection.Crafting things can be completely ignored if you don't care.Your weapon is your best source of damage. Keep it updated and upgraded.Urgent quests can fail if you move on with the main quest and ignore them. The game won't warn you.
bump
>>736540813Just play the fucking game bro, why are you sat here bumping your own thread for "tips and tricks" on a "blind first time playthrough"JUST PLAY GAMES
>>736540407Always go back to check Cassardis and the camp when you complete a quest that feels like a major story beat. There might be new quests and the notice boards get new stuff oftenPick whatever vocation you feel like and swap them as much as you like. Stats don't really matter that much since most of your power comes from the equipmentGoogle about the pawn inclinations. Make sure your pawn and those you hire have inclination that match their roles
>>736540407lower the HDR setting and turn shadows to not-max or you'll crash when first visiting BBI, but you can raise shadows after thatHDR makes the game look worse with no benefits, so turn that off/down
>>736540407>in depth character buildingNo
>>736542657yes
>>736540407When you level up, your current class affects the stat increases. You could play as a mage until level 50 and then swap to a warrior, but you really shouldn't. Either stick to mage classes or non-mage classes. Same thing goes for your pawn.Mystic knight is weird. It's unique skills are magic scaling. It's also a melee fighting tank. If you want to play it, feel free to level whatever. You could go a glass cannon build by leveling mage first, or you could be a tank who casts weapon buffs(doesn't scale with magic stats) by leveling fighter/warrior.
>>736540407It's more of an action adventure game and a fun one at that. Some (most?) people prefer the dungeon crawling aspect of the expansion but for me exploring the open "overworld" with no regards to the main quest line as well as the twists in regards to the storyline were the strongest points of the game. I do appreciate the big dungeon of the expansion and more customization and clothing/armour it brings, however. Gotta keep my pawn companion pretty with an expansive wardrobe.
>>736542895>pick your class>pick your augments>pick your gearSuch in depth character building.
>>736543736It's mostly pick your skills. But yeah I'm really missing the "5% more critical damage when an enemy is stunned" customization superior games offer.
>I have to metagame before I even start You deserve misery
>>736540407>Game so bad capcom fired its main director Lmao what a dogshit franchise
>>736543013Tourist prefer bbi over main dd and say dd1 sucked ass before dark arisenSame thing happened to dd2, it filtered all the tourist and only og dogma fans remains
>>736542927>When you level up, your current class affects the stat increases. You could play as a mage until level 50 and then swap to a warrior, but you really shouldn't. Either stick to mage classes or non-mage classes. Same thing goes for your pawn.this has been debunked several times. Character stats barely matter, it's the equipment what does
>>736543013>Some (most?) people prefer the dungeon crawling aspect of the expansionThat's nu/v/ revisionism. The reason the PC (Dark Arisen) release was praised at the time was because the original game ran like pure dogshit on the PS3/360.
>>736544054If you level as a warrior, you will have double the hp at the end of a game compared to leveling as a sorcerer.
>>736544054Not trueI played as strider but switched to warrior early on and got massive hp boost compared to vanilla strider
>>736544265Nta. People saying it doesn't matter are right in the context of everything being viable and smooth.But the specifics are that it does matter if you want maximum stamina or whatever. Does minmaxing matters enough for you to play as a class you don't want to for 100 levels? That's for you to decide.
>>736540407Just ignore the main game and go for the DLC. That's my one and only tip
>>736540407 You were fooled by /v/ the game is shit and I will explain why: >No indication of where roads lead >No hint to what enemies are weak to >No hint of when enemies are alone or in groups >No warning to avoid status effects >No clue to which items are masterworks I don't know how people defend this game.
>>736544265>>736544318with how fucking easy the game is it really just doesn't matterin DD, having fun doing whatever you feel > minmaxing
>>736544385THISFuck dragon's troonmaBBI is the only fun part of the game
>>736544396True, I did a solo assassin run and the game didn't explain shit.
>>736544396underrated
mystic knight is the most fun class and they killed him in the sequel
>>736544437You playing on normal?In hard you die in 2 hits from goblin early on unless you play on ng+ with broken build which is worse than playing casual
>>736544581Buffing takes forever
>>736540874so before you zoomers came about, games used to have these traps for blind playthrough where if you didn't know something it could set you back hours days or weeks behind. this in turn conditioned a precautious gaming style that is completely benign today as the vast majority of games no longer have these dead man walking scenarios. let people engage with the game's community and get tailored hints about weird niche games without sperging out next time.
>>736544628Hard mode was added to the game to make NG+ slightly more interesting. It didn't exist at release and isn't meant for a first playthrough.Seriously OP, don't do hard mode for your first time.
>>736544581To overpowered for my taste
>>736544767Don't listen to him Normal vanilla is piss easy just like dd2 Go hardmode, it also prepare you for bbi
>>736543736>pick your weight>pick your appearance
The game won't tell you this, but goblin and wolf are weak to fire.
>>736540407wolves hunt in packs
>>736544581I like mystic spearhand...
>>736545357I'd like it more if I had more slots. A lot of its abilities are cool but being so limited with them really fucking sucks.
>>736544939And ice?
I booted DDDA first time in years and I have level 140 sorcerer guy. talk me out of just starting over from scratch.
>>736545585start over from scratch.
>>736545585It's not that long of a game.
>>736540407The game will allow you to miss story content if you play in a way that lets you miss story content. Hint 1 - If you start out in location A, and go to location B, and then just keep doing quests in location B, that doesn't mean that things aren't happening in location A Hint 2 - Return to every "not Gran Soren" city and outpost and see what there is to do often, or 1/3 of the game simply won't happen for you, specifically related to Cassardis.
>>736544674post five examples of this
>>736544581>mfw trying sigil spamholy fuckkkk the stagger is unreal
>>736545980Dragons Dogma (PS3)Dragons Dogma (360)Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen (PS3)Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen (360)Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen (PC)
>>736544054Absolutely not true due to the (honestly kind of bad) way defences work. Yes when you're level 999 with maximally dragonforged equipment the differences are minor, but when you're actually playing the game an apparently "small" difference in stats can easily mean you don't eaither don't hit or are barely reaching a defence threshold and make your hits do one tenth of the damage they would with slightly higher Str or Mag.
>>736540407the best "villain" in all of gaming don't fight bandits near the boulder hill, they're too OP and will rape yousimply run past them to the witchwoods to continue that quest or come at night and there will only be wolves there to killfire is REALLY good in gransis, like almost every single enemy is weak to it with the exception of golems and the dragon types so it doesn't hurt hiring / having a pawn with fire spell / fire enchant kick the oxmercedes best girl don't go to BBI, it's an endgame dungeon geared for high level players when you get a very specific story ring, don't hand it over. There's a special shop in the main city that can make forgeries of items, make a forgery of the ring and hand over the fake one to complete the quest. The ring is extremely good and mandatory to use for yourself
>>736540407Play on hardmode, get the bastion perk from Warrior, barbed nails is the best ring in game, wolves hunt in pack
>>736540407>Any tips?strength in numbers, Arisen
>>736546474>barbed nailsWait are they that powerful even with the increased stagger resistance from hard mode?Am I a retard if I've never used them over the other nails that madeleine has
>>736546619Yeshttps://dragonsdogma.fandom.com/wiki/Barbed_Nails
>>736546619Yes, especially for reds than rely on stagger.
Any notables things to do in endgame gransys before hitting BBI?
play catch with your pawn
>>736540407Prepare to miss a lot of quests if you really intend to do a blind playthrough... the game is full of "if you did quest x, quest y and z automatically fail" kind of stuff.Be careful with the autosave system as well.
>>736547128I can't believe they didn't include this in DD2. It was like the first thing I tried once I made a pawn. The first disappointment of many.
>>736549562it can be done in DD2, your pawn needs to be "simple"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H8gpyaQAGQ
>>736549786https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTnukX4Dobw
>>736544054Character stats start mattering less the further you get into the game.It's only really half true. If you switch from fighter to MA in the early game it feel like absolute shit, due to lacking equipment and the Magick Archers awful stat growth.
>>736544846That's not what's reffered to when talking about character building.
>>736550335You are talking about percentage based builds so you can cheese the game, not CHARACTER building
>>736550335they matter a lot in the game
>>736540407don't skip quests, you'll get statcheckedthe combat is brutal in this game if you're undergeared
>>736550626I always skip every quest,The combat is easy if you use elemental attacks and farm big monsters for xp
>>736550626The combat being on either end of brutal to piss easy is entirely the fault of the damage formula. There is rarely a middle ground and when there is, people cheese it by pausing and healing back to full.
>>736550747>people cheese it by pausing and healing back to full.That's soulful and resident evilpilled.Fuck fromslop
>blind playthrough>blind>b l i n din what universe is consuming a wiki worth of metagame faggotry in advance blind? kill yourself you worthless esl faggot.
>>73654978680% of the time pawns should be simple anyway, its optimal choice for 5/6 possible pawn vocations in DD2. Only fighter benefits from being straightforward. Simple is ideal for everything else.Calm and Kindhearted are dogshit.
>>736550823Nah it's idiotic. Especially when healing exists and interacts with a whole wounding system.
>>736550859This is how entire generations do games now, they see clips on tiktok. Look up all trailers that spoil major story beats and characters, check out guides written by shills that have gotten the game early and then they hop in knowing exactly what to expect and do. The moment they have to figure something out you see them struggling, just look up random gameplay streams of video games you like. It's fucking emberassing
>>736550939Nah it's based. Go back to waiting like a cuck for the boss to finish his 8 hit combo so you can drink your estus
>>736540589To piggy back off of this, to make escort quests easier you can use the games fast travel system to move the npcs with no hassle. Just plant the port crystal right next to where the quest giver wants to go and ferry stone there.
>>736550965Gen Z is an entire generation paralyzed by the fear of failure. They refuse to attempt something they aren't already 100% confident they're going to be successful in. Its a byproduct of growing up with social media, any failure is a potential life ruining humiliation. Imagine if every stupid thing you said or did, every failure or humiliation was intrinsically linked to your identity and preserved online forever, that's basically the Gen Z experience. They won't even touch a game that haven't watched a streamer play before.
>>736551000No idea why you keep bringing up Fromsoft games as if that's your whole argument. Green orbs falling off of enemies as you beat them would be better than pausing to heal.
>>736551351Nothing wrong with pausing, why do you zoomers hate game pauses so much?People have a life, somone might call me and i want to pause the game to answer.Dark souls has ruined a gen of gamers
>>736540407Why do dogmafags make threads where they pretend to be a new player?
If you couldn't pause to heal yourself, then the game would be impossible.Fights are much, much more chaotic compared to Fromsoft games or Monster Hunter. You get clipped constantly by something that you are not seeing.No, don't pretend that you are some Dragon's Dogma-badass. You too once got smashed to bits by a drop-kicking ogre. Don't lie.
>>736551508If I can heal to full any time as long as I have items (in the 100s), then you can only make the game hard by killling the player in one hit or not letting them damage the enemy.Re-read my first post schizo.
>>736551260steam achievements do that too. they broadcast to everyone how far you get in the game and if you got filtered etc. theyre part of the modern hyper social humiliation ritual.
>>736551785No? I've only ever played without pausing.Skill issue, like always.
>>736552093>then you can only make the game hard by killling the player in one hitDoes he know?>b-but i farmed 100 wakestonesThen discard them retard
>>736552386What is your pro pausing to heal argument exactly?
>>736552474Because it makes fromfags seethe
>>736552517Get help then.
>>736540407>Playing Dragons Dogma 1 for the first time blind.I envy you so very very much.I can still feel the wind pushing me.
>>736552552With what?
>>736552646Imaginary arguments.
I love this game, really. Too bad there's nothing else quite like it.
>>736541007>Always go back to check Cassardis and the camp when you complete a quest that feels like a major story beat. There might be new quests and the notice boards get new stuff oftenIs there a mod that automates this? I hate having to interact with every single NPC after every single world state altering quest just so I don't miss some quest.
>>736540407The AI is great in that your pawn will take after you monkey see monkey do style. If you grab enemies, they'll try it too. If you climb enemies, they'll be jumping on cyclops all the time. If you spam throwables, they'll be tossing them all the time. If you manage to convince a friend to borrow your pawn, they will get an insight into what kind of crackhead you are, and vice versa.
>>736553001is this really the case? I once read that someone checked out the code and there was nothing in regards to this
>>736540589>Avoid escort quests unless you really really want the rewards. They are only there for raising affection.Bad adviceI took Selene for a escort quest and I found a chimera (A chimera previously had made me ragequit the game), I had to learn how to fight it to protect Selene and when I downed it I heard this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTNfuztCMgM for the first time ever, it's probably my most memorable experience in any videogame ever
>>736553001>Random glass of water and female gnomeHuh
>>736552126>Achievement broadcasts to everyone you know and records for all history that you lostThis is why Zoomers hate Dark Souls 2 so much.
>>736552821When even DD2 is not quite like it you have to accept it and move on anon. I'm ok with replaying DDDA once or twice per year. And if we ever achieve the point of content mods then I don't need much else.
>>736553053There is nothing in regards to this. You just fill up knowledge starts. If a star gets filled by you perfect blocking an enemy then the pawn just learns that specific tactic.
>>736553053A friend of me asked me "anon your pawn keeps picking up enemies" when I actually did enjoy walking up to bandits and and zombies pick them up like little babies so everyone in my party can get uncontested hits in before tossing them off the nearest cliffI also enjoy tossing explosive barrels at enemies in point blank and watching them stagger themselves but I never heard that friend bring that up in particular
>>736553090You can get ambushed by chimeras anywhere, it's not exclusive to escort quests. If you like them, do them, but their content is never special.
I always get Aelinore as my beloved because I'm a completionist and never skip her quests
>>736553409Certain behaviours alter your pawn's inclination, like looting in yhe middle of combat moves them towards pioneer or whatever it's called. It's not a seperate system.
>>736540407Overrated slopAnyone who like this and its sequel is a fag
Spoiler for any anons just starting, be warnedI’m past the first shortcut in BBI, and farming wakestones in the everfall. It’s super fun (That beholder fight was fucking great), but I can’t help but feel like the game is deeply imbalanced from an exploration perspective. In the early game when I was just strolling around gransis I was begging for dungeons to explore, and they never felt like they came soon enough for the overworld to not be a little tedious. Now in the endgame it’s exclusively dungeon crawling, and while I think I prefer it, especially BBI, I actually miss patrolling the map now. Also, I started as fighter then tried warrior, mystic knight and now assassin. I thought I liked fighter most but the damage gouge can do to enemy weak points is fucking obscene. It feels like a bug. Anyways I got into this game knowing it’s considered sort of a diamond in the rough, and despite my bitching i’ve really enjoyed it.
should I max fighter vocation rank before going into mystic knight
>>736540407>in depth character building RPG
>>736553572game feels very special and soulful but it's also half baked and yeah, the balance is all over the place
>>736553628you can do whatever you want king
>>736553628It doesn't matter that much since mystic knight become way to op later on
>>736553634>can play as a hobbit, a loli, a giant, a dwarf and an elf>not in depth
you know, if the anime didn't had that shitty cgi animation I would have actually enjoyed it
>>736553752But none of that matters from a roleplaying aspect.You are to take up arms and slay the dragon and your conversation options are agree/refuse.
>>736553572You didn't bitch at all. Btw gouge lvl3 (if you ever see it) is actually bugged and does less damage.>>736553628Fighter has a 10% more physical damage augment near the end but it's your call. I wouldn't care for MK that much. Sorcerer's 20% magic on the other hand...
Thanks for funding monster hunter dogshitma fag :)))))
>>736553841>only bear sex is true roleplaying
>>736553841My roleplaying aspects is being a goblin that kills the dragon or being a loli that kills a dragon. I don't need the game to try and do everything.
>>736540407THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE>start game>run forward until you get to the chimera and let it kill you>create character>pick fighter>run outside and dash towards the settlement and talk to a rock>optiona: throw rook into the sea>run outside and kill the cyclops (either climb and hit him in the face if you killed rook or let him fireball his eye if you didn't)>go back to rock>you'll get teleported to some guy asking you carry boxes>ignore him and run back to the starting village>IMPORTANT: kill rabbits on your run back (for vocation exp)>in the starting village buy some throwblasts (optional)>wait at the inn til night>run out to the pier and talk to orla>you're now in BBI>run forward to the quest marker until you run into stache guy>optional: use the barrel jump glitch to get into the bottom rightmost gem locked door to get the vocation exp ring>optional: quit out and restart the game on hard mode and repeat all of that to have 2 of those rings>alternatively run up the spire and yoink the key before the gargoyle rapes you in the ass with its spike and go past the locked door into stache guy's hideout and get the gem for the vocation ring there>on your way make sure to grab the farthest chest in the waterway through the grate in gargoyle's room for the tier 2 weapon>also make sure to kill spiders on your way for vocation exp>if you're still not level 10 throw a few thowblasts and the dire goblins or wargs in starting area>upon reaching 10 talk to orla and switch to assassin>optional: simply stockpile throwblasts and cheese the beholder and the lich with them to get massive levels (around 70)>make sure to loot chests in the 2nd area looking for silk lingerie and tier 2 weapons>buy shrooms from granny in the starting location back in the home village and conqueror periapts from stachio>learn gouge>run to daimon>jump him and gouge him the face while hooked up periaptroids and shrooms/liquid vim for stamina>???>profit>enjoy the real bbi
>>736553628Yeah, it helps. So does maxing warrior and sorcerer. I would really advise doing sorcerer at the very least as well.
>>736540407Post your pawn I'm also playing for the first time
>>736553909Thanks for being a testing bed for resident evil monster fags lmaooo
>>736553841Like every RPG ever made has a main quest and boss fights you can't skip, regardless of your alignment or decisions or whatever
>>736554132>AlignmentNot a thing.>decisionsNot a thing.Your choices are "Agree" or "Refuse". Hitting "Refuse" simply puts whatever on hold until you hit "Agree".It's an RPG in the same sense Tekken or Soul Calibur is an RPG.
>>736554010Sounds like the lamest first time ever. Routing that stuff with your own knowledge only feels great after.
>>736545980You gotta admit, >>736546064 he btfo'd you on this one.
>>736554267>"Refuse" simply puts whatever on hold until you hit "Agree".Until you start giving people forgeries or letting duchesses die or interfering with duels and proving merchants guilty or innocent. Oh right those don't count.
>>736554269I mean the point is just to get them to bbi first thing so they can try and figure it out since I doubt most first timers can follow the rest of the steps without actually knowing the game.Most people start the game normally and just go for the hydra head escort quest first thing and then by the time they get to the capital they just go "fuck this shit I'm out, this was the lamest thing ever and I'm sick and tired of this shit".Because the main game mostly sucks ass.
>>736553090that's zoos
>>736554421That's like, your opinion. Also if you liked bbi that much then your hardcore advice would be to go there asap and stay there until you beat it.
>>736554021I don't know if I can be bothered leveling a vocation I don't even like just for whatever boost
>>736554713Don't. There is a point where you can grind vocation exp afk. With exp boosting gear it takes very little time.But you might as well not do any of that and just always be on the hunt for better weapons.
>>736554495>Also if you liked bbi that much then your hardcore advice would be to go there asap and stay there until you beat it.Yeah that's pretty much the idea.Just exploring bbi is 10 times more exciting than anything that happens in main story until at least 10-15 hours in even if you don't fight everything.But armed with throwblasts you always have a backup option.But simply going through it you will first run into zombie room and see they have too much defense and hp but then realize that there's a giant bottomless pit on both sides of that room and try grappling them and see they have no stagger resist and can be easily picked up and tossed for ez exp.Then there is the skeleton room and you'll notice the red barrels EVERYWHERE there, so you'll figure out just one toss of those takes care of most small ones leaving the big one for another few before his toast.Which will give you enough exp to realize that now the skeleton mages in the gargoyle room are frail enough where you can actually kill them with just your weapon as long as you don't get stingraped.BBI is just designed so marvelously to teach you everything on the fly and is very generous with a lot of great resources.
>>736554826I don't disagree that bbi is fun but ignoring the main game remains terrible advice for someone starting out.
how do you get the item that locks in your beloved when you gift it
>>736555025Have to have unlocked witchwood depths.There is a quest if you interact with the tablet there.
>>736554713Then don't do it.At the same time, there might be a moment when you want to take a break from playing MK anyway. You'll max out that vocation soon enough.
>>736555025>>736555106Also it doesn't lock anything, it just maxes affection. If you got more than one then the last one is who counts.
>>736554939You can always get to the main game after, my point is that the first few main quests are dreadful and turn most people off before they ever get to see how the game is played since they just quit on cart escort or try to kill the ogre in the city dungeon and get raped or just see him randomly jump off and die and then realize they need to talk to a bunch of npcs back and forth just stuck running around in the city, so starting with them sucks.They don't represent the main bulk of the game and make you think it's just some shitty escort and fetch quest simulator (which most main quests are) instead of seeing what it's truly great at - the combat and encounter design.
>>736555106that explains why I've never seen it, I always forget to ever go back to witchwood
I'll never forgive you faggots for making me think there was a chance for a DLC announcement.
>>736555160Getting back to the main game for what? One shotting your first chimera? I don't care that it's your opinion to play like this. But you presented it as the ultimate guide which is completely backwards.
>>736555145NTI, Ive not maxed mystic knight but my go to is buff weapon, sigil, weapon spam. Grand canon is fun but even more braindead, and casting takes so long that I never have the chance to do my shield and my weapon both. Do you unlock more exciting options toward the end?
>>736555307>Getting back to the main game for whatThe story?Idk, personally I don't see why you would want to but hey, you can.It's the ultimate guide to having fun with the game.
>>736555336Buff weapon is way too slow for how short it lasts. It's supposed to be a party wide buff for short damage. The real MK experience is buffing your shield with the appropriate element for 2 minutes and parry everything.
Some enemies are seriously impossible to deal with without the correct build. Like those fucking golem that have their weakpoint floating around the map. Literally only doable with archer build
>>736555390Personally. For you.
>>736555440i killed all of them with fighter solo, you can absolutely do it (there are videos on youtube too, look it up if you need a guide or something)it's not easy but doable
>>736555336Abyssal anguish is fun and busted I don't even use cannon unless against ur dragon, takes too much to set up and it's fucking braindeadJust play MK as a better fighter, the vocation works no matter what you end up doing really
I recommend doing a BBI run on every vocation at least once, they're all fun and worth it for how different it makes the run feel.
>>736555517I did kill it. I just need to walk back to the tavern and change my class
>>736555498Okay here is this better "The ultimate guide to having fun if you previously played dd and quit at the ox cart escort quest or dropped it early in the city because you thought it was shit"
>>736555602you can do it with any class
>>736553628Max out sorcerer and mage too for the magic augments, buff length augment and lower spell setup time augment
>>736555602I did the same thing with Ur Dragon. I was a fighter and I couldn't climb up to certain weak spots and my ranged pawns weren't hitting them either so I had to leave, swap to ranger, and come back.
>>736555607more like ultimate projection
>>736555440MK can beat those with cannon. Sorcerer with Gicel from a safe spot too but it's torture.Fighter or warrior have to climb the golem and jump attack but at that point it's close to impossible.
>>736555681Nah, I played through all of dd before dark arisen ever existed.But after it, I don't see a reason why anyone should since bbi is just way better.
>>736555607It is better but still assumes the other person is you. Guides and protocols don't work that way.
>>736555693>but at that point it's close to impossible.really not since there are dozens of videos of people doing it
>>736555693I once fight a golem (the regular kind) with my greatsword PC and it took forever because I can't hit the thing weakness under it foot. Plus my guy just keep striking the weakness with the weapon pommel and that barely do any damage.
best pawn vocation for magic archer?
>>736555663You got tricked by the graphics. The glowing wing spots can be dealt with even if you attack the tip of the wings close to the ground.
>>736555786I mean if the other person dropped the game because he didn't have fun with it what does he have to lose from trying the ultimate guide to having fun with it and a different approach?That's pretty much what the guides and protocols are for.
>>736555831Support mage / support sorcerer are the best vocations for your main pawnFuck trickster should have been a pawn vocation...
>>736555804It's only ok if you can shatter the talisman in 3 or 4 hits or less. Trying to do it when the fight is supposed to be "challenging" is just a waste of your hours.
>>736540407Stay on the roads until you're stronger or you'll get raped
>>736555812You can still knock it down by attacking the head as it's charging the lazer to reveal the foot. It doesn't have to have the disc on the head intact to do so.
>>736555936>Trying to do it when the fight is supposed to be "challenging" is just a waste of your hours.I mean playing videogames is also a waste of your hours but we're not complaining.Are you asking if it's possible or if there's an easier way?Because the answer to both is yes, it is possible and there are easier ways, so what exactly is the problem you're having?You don't need to do it the hard way if you don't want to, you can always switch the class for the low low price of like 500 vocations points or something, so basically free any time.
>200 hours on DDDA>never done BBI>always 100% the base game, tell myself THIS TIME I'll do BBI then get tired by spongy post game enemies and go fight seneschal
>>736555865My point is that it's not an ultimate guide even for such a person. People can like or dislike things for many reasons. You assume it would work simply because it did for you. But the first time a carrion feeder spawns or they simply cannot damage a mini boss they might give up just as predictably.
>>736540407Game's too easy. Dlc is alright, but in all honesty, the last boss is kinda tanky. I refuse to use additional pawns.
>>736556091Eh? Sex!
>>736556091>spongy post game enemies>the last boss is kinda tankyExactly
>>736556094Well I mean if they do then they do, why is that a problem?Not much I can do about that instead of just offering advice of what was more fun for me.Do you also go to ultimate fitness guides and comment how they don't work for all people...?
>>736556058>Are you asking if it's possible or if there's an easier way?It's obvious what I'm asking(?) since I mention fighter and warrior climbing from my first response.
>>736556091On my last run I did both Daimon forms, Death, and the Ur-Dragon but then I forgot to finish the base game
>>736555440It's just a monster parkour skill check.
>>736556208Just dub it a personal experience guide then.
>>736556271What if you are a...loli warrior?
>>736556427you lose to adult cock
>>736556485Cocks are easy with warrior so, no? Unless you are a scrub that gets pertified by the sight of one lol.
Quinabros, report in
>>736556427I mean there's still more golem to climb if you need the extra height.The only really difficult one to do that I remember is I think one of the BBI spawns where for one of the talismans, you literally need to climb its hand and jump while he is arcing his arm to reach it, but I could be misremembering.
>>736556572You meant Philipa right?
>>736556572Cousin fuckers unite!
>>736556572I did quina as my love because it felt right also she's way cuter in the design books
>>736556271>1 hp>not depicted>an hour of chipping away at the last talisman or the pawna doing 99% of the work for you
>>736555440I did it with a mystic knight The canon strategy didn't work at all it dealt no damage to the sigilSo I decided to play it creatively and use the vortex move to bring it down And it actually worked kek
>>736556572have this screenshot from my first hour ever playing this game
>>736556904delete this right fucking now
>>736556890That or you can make the disc as your chosen target by throwing a fireball at it with your staff to reveal its healthbar.Then the orbs home in on it.
Playing modded DD2 and it's wayy too hard.Saurians are one hitting me
>>736556942she had it coming
>>736556904How much does she weight?You can figure it out by checking your before-after encumbrance no?
>>736556942SHE WAS SLUUUUUTTT
>>736557056she literally spends the entire game researching a cure for your wound :(
>>736540407Every vocation has its own stat distribution so if you want to raise a certain stat, you pick a vocation that gives you that stat and level up some.
>>736557116The only stat you get from leveling that actually matters is stamina, every vocation beneifits the most from minmaxing stamina, so if you want to minmax you play Ranger from 1~200 then you play the vocation you actually want to play.
>>736557713>It bears the head of a cock!
>see escort quests on the board>figure I'll wait until I actually find and know the place they want to be escorted to before I pick them up>they're mostly gone by the time I find any of them
tis weak to fire!
the sight of women excites it!
can pawns get preganant ?
Been playing DDON and it's amazing, why didn't capcom never release this in the west when DD was always more popular outside of japan?
>>736558162tis fiercer than a common goblin
>>736559016It's pretty ok. Obviously the best part is the updated and new classes and skills. The damage formula is once again atrocious but it's almost more easily accepted because of other MMOisms. Enemies start repeating pretty early but the variants manage to keep things somewhat interesting at least. Map verticality is kinda cool. A shame that the only times the game is hard is once again getting killed instantly or being unable to kill things. They also have the BBI2 Kinoshita effect of making hard fights by tossing a billion enemies at you in a small room with everything spazzing out. Never been a fun of that much chaos even when it's perfectly doable because you just end up spamming skills. I definitelly think all DDDA fans should give it a go. Most will never get past the MMO design because it is obnoxious but outside of that it's not bad at all.
>>736540407Oi I already gave you tips here in the other thread >>736545529
>>736540407>All I know is that it's a pretty in depth character building RPGlol lmao
dogged bastard
>>736555440In dd2 golem become near impossible if you didn't break thier foot sigil first Though i only played it with beastiary mod
How long does the gorechimera in cassardis beach take to respawn? I've slept for 8 days but it's still nowhere to be found??
>>736560159it takes a week, so you need to sleep 14 times
>>736560249>a week>14 days this doesn't add up
>>736560597Try sleeping in Soren for Cassardis and vice versa.
>>736560597when you rest you only do so for 12 hours, not 24
>>736560159there are gorechimeras in BBI why are you doing this
>>736560597>>736560752what this anon saidyou can only sleep for max of 12 hours
>>736555507Which skill is this?
>>736556536Did you tried dd2 with new mods?
>>736559016Eh i didn't like itCombat is better and worse at same time because enemies barely have any physics so it feels very stiff and I don't like grinding mmo gears
>>736544385>he told anon to skip best part of the game, Grigori>he told anon to skip the post game when all shits hit the fan and gran soren destructionLol. Lmao even.
>>736553090I need to remove all friction from the experience. I'm not here to play and enjoy a game, I'm here to check another title off the list.
>>736544396Jesus. If only you dont play the game with iq lower than 80.
>>736553571Whats your favorite game then?
>>736561474Eldenring
>>736555440Sorcerer can exequy them, takes like 2 min
Replaying ddda made me appreciate dd2 combat moreSure dd2 took a lot of things from 1 but also improved the dd style combat and would be near perfect if they added all the missing vocation and 1-2 more skill slotsClimbing and able to perform your full combos feels really good
>>736562058That’s my biggest problem with 1’s combat so that’s cool. Having 1 crappy little stab for the biggest most bombastic boss fights is lame, unless you go assassin and annihilate it with gouge, which is satisfying but still very 1 note.
>>736562283And stab do a lot of damage to weak spot which made cyclops and griffin a joke in 1
Fuck. Every other pawn in my group has it as well. For some reason I can't brine them.
>>736562405If they're infected I think only their owner can brine them out of it.
>>736562578That is mw pawn. Using all the nickesponja mods and I think bestiary mentions something with dragonsplague. When I throw the pawn in the water it just pops up back next to me.
>>736562769Throw them off a cliff and let them ghost out. Or feed them to a monster.
>>736562769It's an unofficial patch change, I think. It makes pawns spawn immediately back to your side if they "accidentally" fall into water. You can disable the feature by changing the appropriate setting to "false" in the config file.
>Itsuno puts in dragonplague to make pawns behave like brats>Removes loli pawnsWhat a waste..
>>736561229Yeah it's very lame seeing enemies becoming invulnerable when out of their leash, no gravity kills or being able to grab them and toss them. It also lacks a ton of interactions for the big enemies that you could knock them down with in favor of the enraged mechanic that follows the same "script" towards a knockdown all of the time. Some interesting ideas there for sure though. Shame about the whole mmo gatcha grind progress.
>>736562405In my world she doesn't have AIDs, curious. She's also reporting on you again.
>>736564139How can I get the medusa head as fast as possible? By the time I finally cut it off it was already rotten.
>>736561506Why are you playing overhyped slop
>>736553571Fortnite is right there little guy, go fuck off
>>736564661I was playing a thief, and just climbed up and used draw and quarter a few times at which point they fell over, and I was able to run up to their head, use strong attack, and that like instakilled them and I got the head.I'm playing with mods so that might be part of it, try turning your damage down in simple difficulty tweaks if you have it, I had mine set low to make the rest of the game harder, like 25%, but for Medusa that might be why getting the head was relatively easy for me.
>>736564661Do it as a thief with a low level dagger and no pawns then focus on the head.
>>736564661Get a caster pawn to enchant your weapon with lightning and you can cut it off in a few hits. Gives you the freshest head because it's determined by how much HP the medusa lost before being decapitated. The lightning enchant has some lore reason iirc
Help friends! I'm trying to mod dragon's dogma 2, but for some reason some mods refuse to show up in the in-game framework-UI. Why come?Many a mod is working just fine. I got emote-dogma, random encounters, difficulty tweaker etc. They all work fine, but I install beastiary or expanded oxcarts and they don't even show up in the in-game framework-UI?Am I missing something?
>>736562405Bestiary increases the rate of Dragon Aids and makes it brine resistant. Also says something about a special boss that's been added for it, but I've not seen it yet.
>>736562405>>736567083You can turn it off in the config.lua.
>>736566193nickcorescriptcore?
>>736561123>Did you tried
>>736567641All requirements are installed yes.
>>736553534Can you forcefully reset that shit or are they stuck that way?
>>736566193Bestiary doesn't have a script generated UI. You need to edit the config file manually to make changes. Just open it with notepad, the file contains good instructions on how to edit it.
>>736567974You can spend RC at the Rift shop at the encampment to change them.
>>736544396ragebait used to be better
How are you supposed to get good money with the gear progression overhaul mod? Wanted to dwarvenenhance a single piece of equipment to lv3 and it would cost 200k gold. No amount of random culling requests is going to give me that anytime soon. Does the unmoored world offer more money?
>>736568328you low iq idiot
>>736568409Sell all the gear you aren't using?Be a trickster chad and use whimsical daydream?Sell monster parts?
>>736568409If its too steep you can configure them however you want in the config.lua
>>736540407When you go out adventuring leave bright and early and bring a lantern and some oil.
dragon's dog-man
>>736568142How can I tell if it's been properly activated?
>>736557394I just tweaked the stat growth to be equal among all vocations so I can play whatever I feel like without constantly having to worry about leveling up the right way
>>736540589>Urgent quests can fail if you move on with the main quest and ignore them. The game won't warn you.The only one you have to worry about is not visiting the pawn guild in the city before exiting the camp from southern entrance to meet the old man.The rest actually do warn you and the only things you can miss is one off side quests.But the one right at the start locks you out of heaps of quests and characters.its really dumb. I've seen people do the m-muh repeat playthroughs thing but it doesn't make sense in DD. There's really not enough good quests in it in the first place to be giving up so many of the few good ones for no reason.
Best vocations/skills for Warfarer?
>>736569149It should show in the scripts menu. Not the script generated ui menu, but the one above it.
>>736569536I personally like playing Trickster with sword & shield as a backup plan and staff for levitate and anodyne.
>>736550550Not really. Weight doesn't make a massive difference for climbing that can't be made up for with augments or stuffing mushrooms in your face. Hellhounds grab your ass regardless of how fat you are and only a few monsters have wind attacks.
>oh no dire wolves>fire enchantment>magic cannon>full moon slasheverything is dead in 4 seconds
>>736569898Bet the setup took longer than the fight then
>>736569898Wheres your abyssal anguish
>>736540407Most people play this game like retards. ESPECIALLY those that are very confident about being good at it just super cheese the living daylights out of it.
>>736570051My favorite way to play the game is stone foresting when daimon does the big succ and hoping I don't get staggered out of it and then complaining on /v/ when I do.
>>736570031yes
>>736570092Big succ has no stagger, just drains your stamina.
>>736570092stone forest is for stunlocking cursed dragons
>>736570282When you stone forest during big succ sometimes you get staggered out of the animation and trapped in the swirl when you hit zero stam and sometimes you don't.
Best DD2 wiki? F*xtralife one sucks.
>>736540407Character/Pawn height and weight actually has an effect on gameplay, such as small characters climbing faster and large characters taking less knockback.If you have multiple Sorcerors if one starts casting the others can join the spell and make it even stronger.Wolves hunt in packs.Goblins are weak to ice and fire both.After you rescue [Spoiler] don't forget to grab the panties off the bed.Minmaxxing is boring and gay and the reward is negligible.
What should I play in my first DD2 run? Warrior or Thief?
>>736570341You should never reach the center, let it suck you while casting it and let go before anything bad happens. The hitbox is big you can be lazy with it.
>>736570640Warrior is more fun
>>736540407Leave and go play it.Don't min-max.
>>736540407>Any tipsAll roads lead to Gran Soren
>>736546064Lmao based.
>>736570706Against daimon2 I had better results staggering him out of it if I waited to get to the center. Also I vaguely recall that if I reached the center after letting it fire it'd knock me out of the animation more consistently than if I reach the center than release.I can't really remember, its all a blur.
>>736552126Same thing with hours played.I miss when games didnt spy on you
>>736544581He's fun because he's completely broken like Magik Archer is.
>>736544812HM is terrible for a first time playthrough. Randomly getting oneshot so you have to constantly down defense Periapts is the opposite of fun.
>>736568409Sell your junk but for me those random encounters paid the most amount of moneyTry installing more random encounter mod
>>736569568It's not there.
>>736572312Did you unzip the files?
>>736555440That's why the dinput mod is great. Some say it's cheating, I say it's the way to play.
>>736572582>Mistimed the charge attack twice
>>736572361You don't need to unzip the files when you use the recommended mod manager.Maybe I should just install them manually and see if that works.
>first time blind>What am I in for? Any tips?you're a stupid nigger fuck your thread
>>736571390All jobs are. I'm playing a blight Sorcerer who only uses debilitation magicks. Miasma and torpor fucks shit up hard.
>>736550859>>736550965>>736551260>>736552126>>736553172>>736571253You guys sound like massive fags that never had friends who you would talk to about how to approach games you just started you were playing or used GameFAQs.
>>736574481Blind playthrough means not looking shit up retard
>>736574635I genuinely do not care, faggotron. If OP cared, he wouldn't have made this thread either. The point it some light advice is fine and nowhere near the wikifaggotry you turdfaggots are insinuating it it.
>>736574753Nigger mindset
>>736573614Bestiary started working for me when i unzipped
>>736574907Guess I will do the needful, because I'm about to mald over here.
>>736574907>>736575013Aieeee now everything starts to load and apparently nickcore wasn't installed properly either.Why does it suddenly require the mods to be unzipped god fucking damnit.thanks
>>736574907>past me has unzipped all the filesHmmI think I've just had a major brainfart all along.Retarded. Inoperable.Perchance it was always necessary to unzip the files.
what mods would you recommend for the second game?
>People say that 2 is better than 1>People asking for mods to play 2
DDbros do you typically make yourself and then your thralls are your harem? Do you go all women even the protag? Do you make deformed retards like souls players typically do? How do I make cute women in this character creator its pretty bad.Bump
>>736542657>>736543736Name another game that has real time combat and RPG mechanics where character creation has as much mechanical impact on gameplay as DD. I'm talking about stuff like height affecting how deep you can go in water or ability to enter goblin holes or speed and stamina.
>>736540407The only big things you have to worry about other than how to level up yourself and pawn by swapping between vocations depending on what you want your stats to be are quests you have to do in a certain sequence to complete. Like that gold statue quest with the little girl that gives you access to certain store items.
It's one of the best worst games you'll ever play
>>736576295Bestiary, simple difficulty tweaks and Wild Loot. Use difficulty tweaks to reduce exp gain and remove the ability to heal at 0 health.
>>736546064Lul
>>736540407The entire left side of the map is just art. Do NOT hype yourself into thinking you've got a huge amount of the world left to explore when you are actually about to finish the game.
>>736579386this shit got me back when I first played it. You reach the end of that cave below the shadow fort thinking that you might emerge at the other side but nah, suddenlt the whole world map is filled with mountain. Biggest vidya blueballs ever.
>>736576295Some posted a guide recently, but bestiary seems like the most important one. Unofficial patch, ero, eso, gpo, and some others, dullard, hunna, whatever, theyre probably the most popular major modding projects on nexus.
>>736576446Modded DD2 > DDDA > (power gap) > DD1 > DD2
>>736570492They both suck for DD2, DD1s wiki was also shit for like the first 6 years it existed it wasn't until the PC port when DD1s wiki actually got good articles.
>>736540407shit keeps happening in the background, you can't do any one thing without a bunch of other things becoming impossiblealso never EVER buy a Maker's Finger from Fournival unless you want him to be locked in as your lover for the sex scene after you beat the dragon
I installed mods for 2 but I'm still fighting goblins for like the first 3 hours. Do i need the randomizer as well or am I going to see fun stuff soon?
>>736580391Just bump into him a few times to lower his affinity.
For me, it's the White Hawk armor.
>>736580414Yeah its called random something rearisen, there a lore friendly profile for both base world and unmorred you should grab also
>>736580543Pc fats will never.
>>736580543He looks like the kind of person who will sacrifice his pawns
>>736580635there's a mod to restore it that's been available for some time now anon
>>736580686Mods are fake and gay. I bet it gets your pawn banned online if you made a Griffith cosplay pawn.
>>736580543For you? For you, what? What's for you? A big guy?!
>>736580635I had it on PS3 and I have it now again on PC. Zoomoids and NintoddIers never ever.
>>736540407Dragons dogshit more like it. Now that the dust have vanished, what went wrong? That games boring as fuck.
>>736540407You can fireman carry your pawns. So if you equip a female pawn with Maiden's Petticoat - you can see up her skirt when you rotate the camera angle
