Have you started a new Dragon's Dogma 2 playthrough in prep for the DLC that /v/ said wasn't happening
I'll have to beat my DD:DA playthrough first first
i'll wait for the august patch, which actually changes things
Why would I start a new playthrough before the upcoming patch that rebalances FUCKING RETARD
>>741304521no it didnt run on my 4080
August patch bro. That's the one that introduces multiple saves & skill overhauls. No point til then
>>741305030get a better cpu
>>741304521I actually did reinstall it and somehow the game runs worse now than at launch
>>741305209i have top of the line Intel CPU
>>741304927>>741305167The aug patch notes sounds like it's going to make the game even easier, when it's already super easy. Hope they at least bring in a hard mode with the DLC.
>>741304521Yeah.How do you make a good looking female pawn?I tried using the Asian face model, but it just doesn't look good.Also did they fix the medallions/coins? I wanted to 100% it, but couldn't cuz those filtered me.
>>741304521Waiting for the august patch for the 6 skill slots
I'll wait for August, and I'm not sure I'll get the DLC anyway. Waiting to see if they add enough new enemies.>>741305416>hard modeDepends on if enough people mentioned it in the survey. I think the fixes we're getting are based on that.
>>741305664>Also did they fix the medallions/coins?What was broken about it?
grabbed on sale for ~20 bucks a month or two ago once they released that anniversary art teasing the new NPC, knowing exactly what it meant. feel so goddamn vindicated.
August will be the real patch, but there are things about DD2 no patch can fix
>>741306030>What was broken about it?Something to do with the fact they're hard as hell to see, and your pawn is often who you depend on.They'll call out if there's one nearby, and there was some issue with either NG+ or online pawns if they broke that exact medallion in the past where they wouldn't say anything iirc.
>>741306146Isn't that what that one Trickster augment is for? If pawns could just take you to missing medallions, then there'd be no point to it.
Nah, I'm bringing my OGs back for the new adventure.
>>741306078>anniversary art teasing the new NPCI still don't get where the doubt came from after seeing that
>>741305030>>741305378runs buttery smooth on my 9070XT just don't be a Njudea victim next time
>>741306225Equip the trickster augment that makes a noise whenever you are in proximity to a seeker coin. Then its a simple case of wandering around until you find them all.
No real reason until after the August patch.Also some mods still need updating, reasonably some modders have said they won't come back until the DLC itself.
>>741306513to be fair, itsuno's departure, the games lack of sales and obscene performance woes all painted a pretty clear picture that capcom had just washed their hands of DD and were happy to focus on what did sell, RE and MH. that artwork + the elven doors buried in some of the caves in DD2 were enough of a hint that an expansion was planned. I already had the game on ps5 but since consoles have been a joke this gen I've been mainly gaming on PC. Was happy to grab DD2 for cheap and play through again even if the expansion didn't turn out to be real, but the feeling of being proven right was utterly euphoric.
>>741306513I never stopped believing bros
>>741304521No because the game runs like absolute shit and its not as fun as the first. Some faggot will get upset and pretend it runs fine though "b-but bro why would you even need over 60fps? Like, getting like 40fps is fine bro. 30fps is like buttery smooth. If you think you should be able to get more than a smooth 15fps I'm afraid you ask too much."
>>741307096It gets 100+ FPS with a 4070ti Super in ultra 4k with DLSS. My specs. It's fine if you have a GPU with at least 16 gb which you should have anyway if you want to play games like this. I also only have a 12700kf
>>741304521game needs hard mode before i touch this shit again.
>>741305030I got 90-120fps on my 4070. It's a CPU intensive game.
>>741307256How many without the DLSS
>>741307612Without DLSS the game looks and runs significantly worse. Sad to say but you probably shouldn't be playing any game made recently in 4k native. Ever. The devs intend for DLSS to do most of the heavy lifting
>>741307713Wouldn't it feel better at 1080/60 or is that too much as well.
>>741305664>How do you make a good looking female pawn?let me know if you manage it, mine always have huge neck wrinkles and jowls for some reasoneven at wrinkles: 0 she looks like Hillary Clinton without makeup
>>741307996Different face bases have different attributes you can never change with the sliders.
>>741307856The thing is, Games are designed AROUND DLSS now, out of laziness. So even if you played in native, it would look objectively way more terrible than with DLSS enabled, and no matter what it would run significantly worse. The upside is that they have made strides in terms of correcting the input delay. That is getting better now at least, so DLSS may not be the worst thing after all. I really do mean I've watched the technology improve immensely since it was released
>>741304521Why would I start a new character BEFORE the DLC? I still haven't started a proper playthrough of Rogue Trader because owlcat refuses to stop updating it.
>>741308139I don't think you can correct the input delay, you can only obfuscate it like how fighting games try to do so the game feels the same online as well as offline. If you are used to playing action games at a high standard of optimization (like default DMC4 at 120fps) you can definitely feel the difference of quality.
>>741307713can confirm, game runs at 0.5 DPS without DLSS3good news is you can get software DLSS framegen mods if your CPU can handle the extra load
>>741305416>The aug patch notes sounds like it's going to make the game even easier, when it's already super easy.One of the patch updates mentioned 'enemy adjustments.' I am not sure if that means fixing enemy scaling or behavior, but I am confident they will increase enemy difficulty once the DLC drops. Shadow of the Erdtree did exactly that, assuming they follow the FromSoftware route.
>>741304521No, I just finished my playthrough with the bestiary mod a couple weeks before they announced the DLC. I'll start a new one when the DLC drops.
>>741308412True, although Dragon's Dogma has a lot going on in the backend that DMC doesn't and is a very different sort of game - the fact that it has performance drops are completely excusable for the kind of game that it is IMO. I can definitely understand the disconnect though when coming from a game like DMC, especially when the developer is someone you know already and you're expecting that same experience/level of craft.
>>741308496There are more extensive patch notes at their site.My opinion on the difficulty is whatever. Either way this would require mods to make difficult so I don't care much.
>>741307096NTA I had 4070ti super, ran everything on max settings without DLSS and it's been smooth sailing. Though, I'm on full hd if that matters.
>>741308579Oh, also, this game is on track to be my longest played single player game ever
>>741308084yeah, now I just gotta search through all the over 9000 options to find one without a neck like a plucked chicken's, which sucks because the previews only show the facealso which body type has the biggest possible tiddies? there's like 12 to pick from, and I've already noticed the sliders are pretty limited in changes they can make for those too
>>741304521Yes
I hope the DLC has a "here's what we added" trailer when it comes out.
>>741304521no??? Why would I start a new playthrough 4 months before the dlc you dumb fuck?
>>741304521Yep
>>741308164If it's anything like DD1's Dark Arisen, it'll be scaled for characters in NG+. Doing it on a fresh save will probably be a slog. I know I'm planning on starting a new character in the August patch to be NG+ ready by the time the actual DLC releases in October.
>>741306520>9070XTThis nigga living like it 2006 with his 1080p monitor acting like he's a 'modern gamer'.
I've been doing annual Level 1 runs of Bitterblack Isle for about 12 years. The first many hours are dealing zero damage, but once you pass the curve and get some good pawn RNG on the gacha it's pretty nice. Chests drop just enough to get by.
>>741310134>many hours are dealing zero damageI just manipulate the first level 1 weapon chest. The only real wall between you and gear is the Pope. After that you can straight up buy a level 2 weapon.
>>741310556favorite class?>RNG manipulationboooooo
Tweaks and rebalancing can only do so much, 12 added dungeons and a snow area with gacha loot isn't enough to fix the main game's lack of content. It will forever remain a mid and disappointing sequel because that is what DD2 is at its very core
>>741310707Fighter probably. It's not exactly RNG manipulation but fair. I think just using throwblasts is not fun and makes the vocation you play irrelevant for the challenge so I have to make up the damage somehow.
>>741304521I'll wait for the august patch, playing with only 4 skills when another 2 are coming seems like a mistake
>>741311000>FighterRad.I usually play Mage for the Holy Focused Bolt and Grand Ingle. It's very cheesy but it fills in gaps where damage isn't doing well without being too hard. It sucks that the throwblast meta is most of the discussion on this niche run.
>>741311000>throwblastsI'm not sure how to feel about these and periapts getting removed in 2. On one hand, they were way too strong. But removing the mechanic entirely also seems a bit much, especially considering pawns still suggest throwing shit at foes.
>>741311353>It sucks that the throwblast meta is most of the discussion on this niche runYeah it's just not fun. Plus getting weapon that does damage means you have to fight the rooms instead of running away to just reach the boss.>>741311705I don't really care about removing periapts. But as much as I tend to dislike throwblasts I actually love using thrown items. It feels like an extension of exploding barrels and environmental damage. It's just that throwblasts are overtuned and interacting with thrown items involves the pause menu. A thing I wanted them to fix in 2 but alas.
>warrior makes the game feel like a cake walk>updates make the game easierThe DLC better be hard or they better introduce a hard mode, they finally made Warrior good but it feels TOO good
>>741304521nah I'll start anew when the dlc drops, playing DDON in the meantime
>>741304521>have to find the cover art girl>follow my pawn until another village>find the covert art girl>ok now I have to inform her friend that she's safe>hmm... no oxcart here but there's a crystal, let's see if me or my pawn carry a ferrystone>open inventory>i've been gifted with an eternal ferrystone>decide to walk to the capital out of despite and enjoy a comfy oxcart journey>only took me a few minutes because I was riding on the back of an ogre across half of the track, nailing a few combos on the waythis game is a pure blast, sad that it triggers the adhd crowd
>>741304521Booting up DD2 made me reinstall DDDA instead
>>741307713Older games look amazing on 4k forced DLAA
>>741306805>to be fair, itsuno's departure, the games lack of sales and obscene performance woes all painted a pretty clear picture that capcom had just washed their hands of DDDD2 sold 4 million copies, the sales were never bad so I don't know why anyone thought sales was a reason for DD2 to not get an expansion. Itsuno wasn't even the director for the original Dark Arisen, so Itsuno leaving was never an issue either. Performance issues were real but would never be a factor in doing an expansion or not.
>>741311705dude, I beheaded the intro medusa by throwing a rock at hernot even sure how that happened, I just picked one up and yeeted it at her when the tutorial message appeared, and her crazy slithering apparently perfectly intersected her head with itpissed that it went from preserved to withered before I could access my storage because BUT THOU MUST REST FIRST tutorial, still that's the earliest in any non-hentai game that I ever got head
>>741304521not yet i started ddda first now i have to beat that first.
waiting for hard mode :3
>>741307083<3
I resumed trying to get all the badges for my pawn, the amount of camping you have to do is absurd but I only need to kill a few more garm and black chimeras to be done.
>>741314963this
Why would i play this shit until the actual dlc comes out which will add replay ability? Are you retarded.
I have no reason to touch that awful shit again after 1 1/2 playthroughs.
>got jewed by this woke pile of shit once>still wants to get jewed twice with an expansion/v/ is so full of subhuman goyish cattle it's actually unreal
>>741315095practice and retraining your muscle memory off DDDA, at least that's why I amshit's paced just different enough that I was getting mauled by the first goblin encounter of all things until I got the new rhythm down
>>741315146>/v/ is so full of subhuman goyish cattle it's actually unrealI paid Valve seventy bucks for a game I could just fucking pirate, bruhif you're looking for humanity try /pol/ instead
>>741315414>if you're looking for humanity try /pol/ insteadlol
>>741304521I loaded up my save from 2024, saw that Vernworth still runs at 45FPS and decided to wait until August or September.
How bad is the Netflix show? Is it worth a watch at least?
>>741304521no I'll start a new game one or two weeks before DA2 releases
>>741315557From what I recall it's about as accurate as the DMC or Castlevania shows.
>>741315146Just use the mod
>>741304521why the fuck would i start a new one you stupid nigger there's nothing newit's the same exact game as launch kill yourself you stupid fucking retard faggotreminder dd2 had>worse npcs (npcs in 1 changed dialogue several times throughout game, npcs in 2 is quantity over quality and there's 200 that all say 1 line over and over)>worse story (same second half rushed shit, side plots are worse than stuff like mercedes' quest, literally just the same main story again>only remotely interesting part of any sidequest was the whore woman having a secret cat eye sharingan because it's fucking so retarded it's funny>fewer weapons than dd1 (even excluding all dlc weapons, both bbi and non bbi dlc, dd1 still has more warrior weapons than dd2 for example>fewer armor slots because they're lazy jap fags who decided to go full skyrim with less choice = better>cover armor wasn't even in the game at launch???>nothing like ur dragon at all>everfall replacement is literally just walk the same empty open world you already did but red and you're going to restart in a dozen rests whether you like it or not>went full elden ring with the open world, empty and full of copypaste enemies, caves to explore are all fucking tiny, biggest cave is probably the coastal village under ocean cave to the ruins and it's tiny compared to some of the caves in dd1>pissed off mk fans by removing that vocation>pissed of magicfags by reducing skill slotsetcetcetc
>>741315712Not much of a recommendation
>>741316037pretty sure it was meant as a warning
>>741315146retard no one who loved dd1 loves dd2, it's all fucking shills and retards who never played dd1 in the first place sucking on dd2's ballsyou can tell because no one posts pawns anymore and when they do they don't get any replies because no one wants to actually play this garbage downgrade of a sequel and it didn't even last 3 months before dying
>>741315989Nobody reads copypasta posts, anon, stop wasting your time i'm sure it's very precious
>>741315989>caves to explore are all fucking tiny, biggest cave is probably the coastal village under ocean cave to the ruins and it's tiny compared to some of the caves in dd1on one hand having hundreds of tiny caves that are really just single monster lairs where ogres go to get out of the daylight is pretty realisticon the other hand, realism is not something a fantasy RPG should be overly concerned withon the third hand, can someone please answer my question about pawn tiddies? >>741308791 (yes, that's my wanking hand)
>>741316450we get it you're an illiterate nigger who can't speed read a dozen short lines in under a minute
>>741316493>can someone please answer my question about pawn tiddies?no one is still playing this game man
>>741304521I WAS ALWAYS A BELIEVEDO NOT SLANDER MEW
>>741316545I go until I read something wrong which is the first line
>>741304521Have 100 hours on it already. Tried installing some mods for a second playthrough, but I'm gonna wait for the next patch and DLC.Now I'm playing crimson desert.
>>741316545Anon you're misunderstanding, I'm telling you people know when you're dropping pasta, they're not going to waste time reading something like that, it's common board sense
>>741316673you go until you struggle to pronounce the word you're slowly saying out loud (second word btw) retard nigger
>>741316708>Anon you're misunderstanding, I'm telling you people know when you're dropping pasta,except you're still wrong faggot because it's not a pasta because i type it out fresh every single time and list different things every timefaggot
>>741304521I'm just going around the regular overworld the Unmoored World looks like it's just boss rush mode. Just like post dragon Gransys, Unmoored is kind of ugly and bleak.
>>741316836nah its pasta.
>>741317141that's why you couldn't find anything with the exact words in the archive you stupid useless niggernice try
Reminder to buy the dye in Sandtown so you can unlock additional skin tone colors! Easiest way to make orcs or dark elves.
>>741316836That's pretty pathetic.
>>741317898i don't care what you think, i remember what i hated at launch and i remember what all the other anons who loved dd1 with me hated and launch and i'm happy to remind peoplefuck itsuno for shitting on his fans so hard
no ill wait for the dlc for the playthrough
>>741317643Oh, so that's what the dyes are for. I don't think I ever gave the dyes a second thought after realizing it didn't work on gear.
>>741318276>i don't care what you thinkWhat a coincidence.
>dragonsplague adjustmentsdone 3 playthroughs, used a ton of different pawns throughout them, never ONCE encountered dragonsplague. I honestly still don't even know how to tell when a pawn has it or what the consequences are, other than seeing people say they loaded up their game and found everyone in vernand dead. is that it? it just kills npcs in the main city between loads?
so how the fuck do pawn quests work. Let's say I give my pawn a quest to kill a gryphon. At what point do OTHER PLAYERS no longer see my pawn as having that quest? After I rest once somebody has completed it and I get the badge? Does this mean it's theoretically possible for multiple people to have your pawn, with their quest active, complete it, and get multiple badges out of a single quest?
>>741318882It's supposed to kill NPCs in the town you sleep in. It definitely makes your pawns a bit more headstrong. They might give you lip or ignore orders, though that's not very often. You'll notice them saying shit like how feel invincible. I think it also boosts their combat stats a bit? The August update's supposed to also make dragonsplague give them more stagger power too.
>>741310004You don't need above 1080p. You're just used to playing games at 720p pretending it's 4k with goyscaling. I have a 3440x1440p monitor and a 1080p side monitor, and I sometimes use the 1080p one for games that don't support ultrawide in reasonable fashion. It's pretty crazy how good native 1080 looks still, assuming it isn't absolutely fucked by post processing and TAA.
>>741318882I had pawns with it all the time around launch, I guess there's some condition to trigger it like them dying to a dragon in another world, but people got good now. There will be a cutscene when you go to sleep with an affected pawn in your party and it will murder the whole town.
>>741304521I never even finished my first playthrough but I have some faith so I'll continue my playthrough when the DLC comes out and enjoy the new shit.
>>741317643I only hire pink female beastrens.
>start NG+ all excited>nothing has changed>enemies are piss easy>I handicap myself in countless ways and could still win while paying half attention and mindlessly button mashingthis game's difficty curve is absolute shit. once you get powerful enough, it's all over, and NG+ is completely pointless.
>>741304521I tried, twice, both times I got an hour in and just could not spend another second playing. I'm looking forward to the DLC but I'm just gonna use my NG+ Endgame save to go into it. Dragon's Dogma is a great game to explore for the first time, but once you know all the beats it starts feeling tedious, because you're just re-qualifying to reach the point you've already reached.
>>741319008I think the pawn quest disappears the moment you sleep in a bed. So you can set it today, and wait until next Monday for example without ever sleeping in a bed until then. If you whored your pawn out to 50 other Arisens and they killed 20 gryphons, you should get credit for all those when you go back to sleep IF those Arisens also went to sleep in their beds after the kills. Something about pawn data only ever updating if you sleep in bed. Camping doesn't do anything for that.
>>741318882I think I was spamming sleeps to pass time for some reason I cannot recall. After one of those sleeps a cutscene plays where the infected Pawn explodes the whole city. You wake up and the city is silent. Dead bodies litter the streets. Its actually kino when it happens. Only happened to me once in over a hundred hours though.
will Norgan have... snow elves?
>>741319401hol up, so you're telling me that if I set a pawn quest, and then immediately rest at an inn, that quest is gone, along with whatever reward I sacrificed to encourage people to complete it?
>>741320268My bad, I misspoke. I'm pretty sure it still remains active. I think eventually a bot completes your quest for you if no one else does. As long as you see a pawn quest when you check your pawn's status, other people should be seeing it too.
>>741305664>Also did they fix the medallions/coins? I wanted to 100% it, but couldn't cuz those filtered me.Skill issue
>>741308756Jump back in.
>>741304521Yeah, it's too easy. I need a hard mode.
I hope the DLC brings back Gorecyclops. I need to fight some huge motherfuckers. Bestiary's Colossal Cyclops just isn't enough.
>>741318882yeah maybe you should've tried at launch when the game wasn't dead
>>741304521I platinumed it earlier in the year thinking DLC wasn't happening so I could move on. I think I'll wait to see where the entry requirement is for the DLC and start a NG++ then. Don't wanna burn myself out before launch
>>741306537That thing drove me wild in the cities
I'm waiting for the August patch. I still need to find all the caves to complete all challenges but I have no idea which ones are missing
>>741321598Hardmode confirmed!
>>741322013Where?
>>741322013bullshit
>>741315987What mod?
>>741322013That's bullshit but I believe it.
>>741322482https://basedmods.org/mod/29c438ba-6881-4900-ad90-f8cce652c4bf
>>741315146Why would you buy the game when you could've just pirated it? Ya know what I am glad Crapcum is shitting out slop nonstop and ruining IPs cause you dumb niggers throw money at them no matter what lmao.
>>741304521Nah, I’ll probably wait until August to make a fresh save and character.I’ve been replaying DD1 instead. And I finally finished Dark Arisen and beat Daimon in BBI for the first time, since in the past I usually just would go directly to NG+ and ignore/forget BBI.But after beating it I’m honestly kinda confounded as to why people think Dark Arisen or BBI is supposedly better than the main game. It felt worse to me in almost every way. Especially the Daimon fight felt like a total letdown, was an absolute slog, just standing around waiting for him to finish spamming his AOE icicles and seisms, just to get three jump attacks in afterwards.The Everfall also just feels like it fits into Dogma’s theme better, both aesthetically and mechanically, as this endless, semi-roguelike looping dungeon. And sure the rooms in the Everfall are all copypasted, but so are all the DDI rooms, which felt like just some generic dungeon.Base Game >>> Dark Arisen
>>741304521I'm waiting for the save slots in the august update
Can I make loli pawns yet?
>>741324960Since release, yeah.
I'm conflicted. I don't know if I want to do another playthrough now with a bunch of mods, or just wait for the DLC and play mostly vanilla
>>741325264I don't see a problem with playing now. You'll get two very different playstyles. You play now, and you can just roam the world at your leisure, which you top off with the Guild Contracts and Pawn Companion mods. When the DLC hits, you go balls-to-the-wall and do some hardcore dungeon crawling in some dank cave where you can't fucking see shit.
>>741325050Sliders got fixed?
>giant fucking dragon turdsI wanted to complain about the massive amount of cave-ins in Battahl, but I don't know if there's a spoiler explanation besides them being cut content.
I made my Pawn a flat chested elven lass, am I a cruel Arisen?
>>741304521Why the fuck would I do that? I will wait for the new shit before playing.
>>741304521I was planning to do that, but I reloaded my old save and my pawn somehow got the Sphinx pawn badge while I was away. I figured it would be a waste so I just installed one of those hard mode encounter mods and play through NG+ instead.
I'll play it when they remove Denuvo
I am genuinely hopefulBUT once bitten twice shy, I will wait till the expansion is out and some honest reviews to be made before I actually get itI was gonna list some wishes but then I realised it just boils down to>more of everything pleaseSo I will just say I hope they remove the retard height restriction so I can make a goblin wife pawn
>>741325553Isn't poop flammable in DD2 or did I hallucinate that.
>>741324960no
>>741325509No.
>>741325664'Tis said that condensed milk is quite delectable. Mayhaps you ought to partake?
I played on release, got like 120 hours, beat the unmoored world and now have my character sitting there in NG+ since it automatically forced me into it. I'd like to go back to it at some point but first I want to know if hard mode is coming and if it'll work more like a normal difficulty slider this time that can be turned on and off. I didn't really play any of NG+ but I heard that the enemies don't scale to your endgame level which seems kind of silly.
Waiting for the August Patch
My favorite DD1 pawn was an Orc girl I made on ps3 and only ever let play as swordless fighter. I gave her the shield that converts all your magic defense to physical. I once gave her back a sword and just watched her fight for a while. She never used it.Good times man.My favorite DD2 pawn was my main bitch Agnes. I gave her Dogma balls and let her kill vernworth.
>>741315146Yeah, I know nigga. I spent 70$ on this Jew-Jap shit. there's no turning back. I'm going full goycattle. The Jews have won.
>>741304521I might load it up in August to see how it plays with the increase to 6 skills just out of curiosity, but I won't really play through again until the DLC.
>>741325509There were none to fix, if you just want a loli you can make one. If it's anything more specific you'll have to clarify.
How do I make a hot female pawn in this game all the faces look ugly, I get it it's a fantasy medieval game, but let me wank it to my pawn.
>>741330491it isn't difficult, just wing it, bro
is a sloppy bj from flora witht daphne rimming my arisen too much to ask for?
>>741330182If I can't go lower than 4'8", then it is impossible.
>>741304521waiting for that co-op mod to be finished before I play again. Then I'll do a co-op playthrough -> DLC for true kino.

man, mystic spearhand with 6 skills is gonna kick so much ass
>>741330559lowest Vanilla height is 5'3, but just use the mod here >>741330681
>>741330785The height units are fake anyway, you can go down to NPC child height just fine. Some are still shorter but none are below 150 I'm pretty sure.
>>741330868Yep, and you can also make 'em shorter by adjusting the size of the head, length of neck, torso, legs, and so on
>>741330491It's a skill issue I'm afraid.
>>741304521Is there any reason to be excited for the DLC when the base game sucks so much? Like 90% of this game is just you going from point A to B while fighting the same groups of goblins/wolfs/lizards.
No, but i intend to sweep through ng+ to do a full clear of everything prior to tower to be ready.I like my pawn too much and just don't have the time between now and DA launch for a full new game run.>>741305167Sadly I'm pretty sure it's just more saves for the one file.
>>741333318>I'm pretty sureYou can always read for yourself to double-check.>Expanded the number of save slots where adventure data can be saved for each Arisen from one to three.>Each save slot now holds three different types of saved data: Autosave, Interim Save and Last Inn Rest Save.
I loved the first game and played it to bits, but kind of held off when DD2 came out because of the performance issues and the general reception it got.Now that you guys have sat on it for awhile, would you say DD2 is better or worse than DD1?
>>741304521No. I played it so much at release that my character already reached the level cap of lvl 999.
>>741329798So did she just shield bash? Didn't realize you could do that
>>741333593DD2 is great. They're different enough to enjoy both, and similar enough to form preferences.DD2's mounted combat is perfect. DD1's dualclassing is perfect.
>>741304521ill wait for ther second patch to get the extra skills and the other stuff they are going to add. but yea im exited for playing it again.
>>741333593It's worse in some ways, better in some ways. I prefer the first game more than the second but I still had fun with DD2.
>>741333704>DD2's mounted combat is perfectIt's a big too sluggish for me, especially compared to the first game. The climbing speed and controls are awful. Archer's mounted attacks may as well not exist. You're telling me they can't stab with regular arrows when their special arrow skills let them do just that? Warriors too, but at least their mounted heavy attack is absurdly good at knocking down foes.
>>741333740less makeup
>>741333740she's good but she needs lighter eyebrows, they should be the same color as her hair
>>741333970wanted the femme fatale look.here is anotherone
>>741333593Have you tried judging for yourself mate?
>>741333512I'll believe that it means 3 actual characters when the update happens, but for now I can only see the second line as expanding on the first.Expect the worst, pray for the best situation.
is there a mod that lets you create 3 personal pawns?
>>741333593what that anon said good in some ways worse in otherswait until the august patch and give it a genuine shotit's a bit fun when you get into it
>>741333593I have 334 hours in DD1 and 397 hours in DD2.I prefer DD2's core movesets, enemy AI and interactivity. Enemies can be seen fighting each other or wandering pawns/NPCs, you can stand normally on enemies instead of just clinging to them, things like riding a griffin across the map are possible.That said, there's less skills, less enemies (though DD2's enemies have actual model changes when DD1's usually didn't) and armor is less interesting (head/body/leg slot rather than chest and leg armor+clothing and gloves that you can layer).Depending on what you value you might like it more or less. For me watching a slime solo a cyclops and a minotaur make up for it.
>>741334674I feel like less skills is a bit misleading. A lot of dd1 skills were folded into the actual light and heavy attacks of the vocations. Fighter especially here.So while there are less skills, the general kits are more robust and skills we do have are generally more skill like in quality.
>>741334269Buying the game three times.
>>741305664>How do you make a good looking female pawn?it's a skill you can't be taught, you either have the gift or don't
i really hate the character creator in DD2. way to many things are tied to the face you initially choose and no amount of slider magic will fix certain imperfections.
Why is Warrior's Surging/Diluvian Strike so fucking ass. Even with the Dullahan mod, it's goddamn worthless.
>>741304521Will only play this shit when they remake both game without any itsuno shit instead make a dragon's dogma game with only bbi but 20x bigger with coop and pvpAlmost everyone hated openworld base game and dark arisen is only reason people even played this shit
>>741316836So, making home made pasta from scratch then
>>741305664it takes alot of mix and matching your pawn heads to get it to what you want
>>741304521yeah, honestly i've been enjoying myselfmy first playthrough when it came out was with my old computer and the game ran and looked like shitnew playthrough im about 25 hours into it and i've been really enjoying it, new computer obviously helped a lot, but the updates(and some mods) have made the game really nice
>>741304521why would i blow my load on the unfinished version
>>741334674fewer
>>741333607you did not fucking hit that on your own man even hitting like 100 after 4 ngs was ass
>>741335140The issue is mostly that it has no fucking range but it also just feels like it could be a core skill. It's basically a clip bait skill where you fail 50 times to show off your one "epic" success leaping off a cliff or large monster to kill a goblin.
>>741334674i have 707.5 in 1 and 151.7 in 22 is fine in a vacuum but compared to 1 it's a downgrade in basically every way besides graphics
>>741304927>rebalanceDon't you mean "casualize"?It's your last chance to play DD2 as it was envisioned.
>>741304521I played on my PS5 and ultimately deleted my installed game to make space. The only problem is I didn't upload my save to the cloud before deleting. I hope that the save file is still stored on the machine separate from the game install, but I am too chicken shit to check if my pawn is fully and truly gone.
>>741336115I don't think many people care for what Itsuno envisions anymore.
>>741336115DD1 and 2 are already some of the most casual games ever madeI wish they'd make an update to change the extremely terrible damage calculations
>>741335037Fuck around and find out, unironically. Play with the sliders n shit till youre happy/horny
>>741336115Why is there always a retard like you who thinks these are meant to be hard games?
>>741315146>walk into gransys>mason talks to you>cry, poo pants, uninstall game>make thread on /v/ crying that there's a black dude in my japanese westaboo rpg
>>741304521I still have my unbeated 112 hour save file so i'm just gonna load that
>>741305416>Hope they at least bring in a hard mode with the DLC.I need them to make the game harder too. I hated coasting through everything without much concern for if I was going to die or not.
>>741304521Poor man's eldenring
>>741315146Playing video games is the peak goycattle behaviour
>>741316356This Only trannies and lefttard loves dd2
I'll never get over how much I love shieldless fighter in dd2.
>>741336812modern devs WISH they could make mason
>>741333970Shit taste
>>741335516not bad, Blintthe eyebrows could probably do with a touch up and maybe pull that chin up
>>741335516Pick unrelated
>>741336812Mason is a caricature of a nig that would get Capcom cancelled if made today
>>741337251>Samefagging your post after no repliesOof
I hope they add weapon rearmament to other classes too, like having a slashing and blunt weapon or raw and element option. Menuing to swap already exists anyway, just make it easier like how there's a shortcut for heals and stamina now.
>>741337357>namefag>samefagginganon, please
>>741337013I wish I could at least do parries with just the sword. Hindsight being the only defensive option feels bad.
>>741337435You can use vocation modular mod for that
>>741312783what did they do to warrior
>>741337584Nothing, i think he played dd1 warrior recently and is in awe by how dd2 warrior is.
>>741337546I wish they'd do it natively in the game too. I'm sure DD2DA will possibly likely have some rapid fire micro updates that will break mods every time like in Monster Hunters so it's going to be annoying waiting for REngine and the mod maker for updates.>>741337584I think it's the August update where there's a wall of text of warrior buffs/changes.
>>741337236This retard likes being catfished.
>>741337584warrior got timed strikes which is kinda nice for just wailing on trashthey also got that skyward sunder or whatever the fuck move that just deleted everything, slash up into monster heads/wyvern hearts
its the worst feeling in the worldthe sequel to one of my fav games ever was so disappointing to me that I am simply not interested in its expansion:(
>>741337584In DD2 it has one more skill slot than it did in 1 and it had better skills. It makes the game feel too easy
>>741304521What? No. The actual patch will be on August so I'll replay it then.
>>741337982You're not alone.The only way im getting even a bit excited is if the Vocation Color Tree is complete and if they add the loli height sliders as default. Oh and it's gotta have a vastly improved variety of enemies.But it looks like none of that is going to be true. We're gonna get snow versions of goblins and whatnot.
>>741334810It's not misleading at all.
>>741304521Yes, I'm getting as stacked as I can on a new playthrough without going to the postgame, so I can just travel right to the Dark Arisen content. I'm a casual and want to experience it while already having good gear. I love using cyclopean thunder as a warfarer wearing knight-looking fighter gear, it felt great to get it again. I've already beaten the unmoored world twice.
>>741335140I don't understand why they refuse to give warriors some kind of quick movement skill when so much of dodging in this game is just putting yourself out of the way. It's even worse in DD2 because the jump is so anemic. Monster Hunter had backstep attacks that made you get out of the way ages ago. Just give me an Exodus Slash with a focus on moving rather than i-frames.
>>741337435Didn't a patch mention something about switching weapons?
>>741304521I never finished it, I put it down after reaching the desert land and doing a couple of missions there, my I5 8gen 2080 rig died some time after, I bought a I7 10 gen 3080 rig second hand, still run like shit without the framegen mod, will wait for the update to maybe finish it. I hope this truly is what dark arisen was for OG since that was the way I experienced first.
>>741337062people will say that about your loyal nappy nigger brant.>>741337320so is brant
i'm seriously thinking about installing the No Blacks mod because of that one black guard with dreads in VernworthGod he looks so stupid
>>741337453Go away tourist. You know not what you speak of
>>741338780Do it
>>741337762and you like niggers, sit down
>>741337982But anon... this is our return. They've had years to take all of our complaints into consideration. It will be good, they will make Dragon's Dogma great again. I believe.
>>741338951But niggers love to overcompensate with makeup, something you love, right? Faggot.
>>741338412They gave warriors increased defenses while charging and a timing mechanic for releasing the charge as the hit is coming, those are both enough.
>>741338745Do tell how you think Brant is a caricature. I need a laugh
>>741338780Throwing them off the side without being caught is more fun. Did that to the bitchy niggress as the gate
>>741339025Settle down jamal
>>741304521I like my pawn too much to want to play on a different save file.
>>741338489I don't think so, but maybe I could have missed it.
>>741339031Facetanking in an action game with pure stats will nevel feel good. Even the MMO had a better mechanic all about tanking and revenge that took some modicum of skill to pull off. And the MMO was still ass because lacking fast movement means you are at the mercy of enemies that can surround you or attack in different timings. Sometimes the best option is to simply move out of the way. The clash/parry mechanic is only useful for big enemies and does little for getting out of crowds or generally an unfavorable position. Warrior is just resigned to be played as a character that overpowers enemies due to superior stats. Only made safe and not punished by their hitstun and defense. Take those away and suddenly they cannot overcome a fight with actually hard hitting enemies that gang up on you and don't get ragdolled around. A thief on the other hand always has a fighting chance even with just dodge and their core moveset.
>>741304521>dd2 sucks!>dlc announced>3 capped threads on /v/ alone every single day, not counting the still extant generalIt's good to see all the contrarian hater faggots exposing themselves. Dragon's Dogma is one of the greatest open world rpgs, and people can't help but admit it through their actions.
>>741339826Or maybe people think or hope that the DLC will fix all of the issues they have with the game. If for example enemy variety is piss poor in the DLC expect to seea ton of threads mocking it again.DD2 is a game peopld try hard to like.
>>741339897>If for example enemy variety is piss poor in the DLC expect to seea ton of threads mocking it again.We'll get those threads regardless of the actual content of the DLC. If it doesn't do things that it obviously won't (drastically improve enemy variety in the base game) then that's just going to be the shitpost fuel. That kind of shitposting is never about the game itself, it's just "thing you like? BAD".
>>741339897If people actually and really hated the game so much, they wouldn't even show up for any announcement.
>>741339985Why wouldn't it drastically improve the enemy variety though? What are they filling the 12 new dungeons with? Lets put a number on it. How many new boss enemies (no reskins) would you be ok with?
>>741340007The general feeling is not hate, outside of /v/ schizos that make a thread every day, the rest are either liking it for what it is or disappointed for what it didn't end up being. Seeing interest pick up after a DLC reveal seems perfectly normal.
>>741304521I actually did my DLC prep a year ago in anticipation, started a new game and got all the way up to the Tower/Dragon where I stopped. I do get the itch to go adventuring again but I'll be patient. Might jump into UW when the next big patch drops and then go into NG+ in time for the expansion
>>741340132You're asking why they wouldn't go through and change enemy placement throughout the whole game, adding new enemies too?Because that's almost certainly outside the scope of the DLC, anon. Would it make the game better? Yes. But it's not realistic to expect that.>What are they filling the 12 new dungeons with?Almost certainly not new enemies. At very best, MAYBE a "new" reskinned enemy or something. Supergore ogres or something.>How many new boss enemies (no reskins) would you be ok with?In the BASE game? I'd be okay with 0 new enemies. I'd like at least a couple new enemies IN the DLC aside from the the undead dragon, though I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm expecting this to just be Dark Arisen 2. ie a couple new monsters including the boss but otherwise just reskinned normal enemies.
>>741339263He’s literally a stereotypical African peddler guy
>>741339392Same. I'm really hoping the big updates don't fuck up my save since I've been using mods that add items.
>>741337013It's the soulful class
>>741340340While this seems like the most possible scenario, I can't help but feel that it'll simply disappoint everyone.The ideal case is that the DLC actually has a nice combination of reskins + new enemies that mods can work with to populate areas of the base game too.
>>741339897There was a literal discord making hate threads about the game for like a year, bots and other garbage were constantly spammed and the same thing will happen again when the game releases, there is no point in trying to discuss anything here
>2024>the games I'm most excited for are Granblue Fantasy Relink and Dragon's Dogma 2>2026>the games I'm most excited for are Granblue Fantasy Relink and Dragon's Dogma 2
>>741340763It'll only disappoint people whose expectations are simply too high. The game has flaws in need of fixing but there's no reason to think they'll actually be fixing them, that's just hopium because it would be nice. We're getting a new area, new skills, a BBI loot system (notably only the loot system, not the dungeon itself) and a couple new enemy reskins at the very least. Do not set your expectations any higher than what they've shown, and don't start making wild speculations based on what you see. Assume we're getting the minimum, or else be disappointed.Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
>>741337489shieldless fighter is a journey, not a destination. slapping harpies out of the sky, thumping cyclops heads, getting stomped on by goblins. It builds character.>>741340742six skills will make it the best thing capcom ever made.
>>741339826DD2 threads were fucked thanks to the discord discourse so people who wanted to talk about it abandoned it. They got called out and pushed out with the DLC momentum
playing through this again and i forgot how meaty the combat feels. felt like each swing mattered
>>741340547That's Mason you idiot lmao. Brant is the loyal guard made black for no reason other than diversity points
>>741339826Not a single person liked dragtroon dogshitma We are here only for bbi 2.0
>>741339263i can't describe blue to a blind man. if you don't see it just looking at the fucking guy then there's nothing i can say to convince you.
>>741340934I'm not saying it's logical to firmly believe they will fix the issues. But you can still be disappointed even if you're consciously hoping that they will while at the same time not expect much. Personally, if what we saw in the trailer is exactly what we get and the 12 dungeons are populated with cyclops, ogres and the rare minotaur, then I won't be rushing to buy it until I want to replay the whole game in some years.
>>741337982Good. Don't bother coming to these threads now while you're at it.
>>741339658Face tanking as a warrior with a retaliation mechanic is sick though.
>>741304521never played it I don't buy censored slop. no loli pawn no buy
I'm busy today, so no doompost. I'll still shit on shartsuno, tho.
>>741339826>failed to realize doomCHADs were the ones keeping dragqueen dogshit 2 thread alive
>>741341395Until your meet enemies you can't facetank and are reduced to an idiot. I was just saying it shouldn't be their only option. Damage mitigation is always superior for action games because at the end of the day 0 damage > 1 damage. And with the damage formula being tuned how it is in DD2 not even health regen helps against getting OHKO'd by a challenging enemy.
>>741341489What do these fruity, mixed race vocation even be? No, seriously. Start naming them. Go ahead. It's just not possible.
>>741341489I pray the Archer upgrade is something like Zelda's Linkle or Maplestory's Mercedes.
>>741341725>Until your meet enemies you can't facetankGood thing that might happen once all game unless you just never buy gear.
>>741304521I kind of want to but I think Ill wait for the DLC to start just in case they add some stuff to the base game
You guys think they'll update the game with any changes when the DLC hits? Or do you think it'll be worth starting a new character when the August update hits?
>>741341725It sounds more like the problem is when developers in general are afraid of letting the two hander soak big hits. Doing two-handed sword users in the FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN way while I think is most fun also requires the developer to be willing to commit to the player being able to soak a lot more than they typically would allow. Like you should be going out of your way to be hit by the biggest meatiest slams rolling the dice that you'll be sturdy enough to survive it.
>>741341840True. The concept of challenge in the game is only through a hypothetical scenario or through self imposed restriction/mods. Still, being only able to facetank is pretty lame design.
Is boltchain stake just bad?
>>741341840nta but I get what he means, like if they bring back Death from BBI, no amount of face tanking is going to save you. Although it's still a what if situation and I doubt Capcom in 2026 would make anything remotely hard.
>>741341840Yeah, I can't think of many times a warrior can't facetank. Going to Battahl early is the only thing that comes to mind. There's also asp nests, but that fucks over every vocation because blight is completely cracked. There's getting gangbanged by groups of bosses through a randomizer mod, but that's a real niche case.
>Fighter in DD1>it feels like your character actually knows how to swing a sword>Fighter in DD2>it feels like your character picked up a weapon for the first time and never learns how to use it the entire journey>Warrior in DD1>jumping light attack over and over again like a bumbling retard>Warriornin DD2>Godlike
Capcom should've fired shitsuno ages ago
>>741342062Well, the whole design of the vocation is as "the facetank guy" with everything built around it. If you want a dodge, well, that's what Warfarer's for.
>>741342104I actually quite like Fighter in DD2 though I wish some of the skills had a bit more oomphSadly the Meister skill feels like ass to use, but I think most meister skills are, franklyAlso has the best fashion, but warfarer negates that, retard shit desu
>>741342141I would only really want a fade slash type of attack. Even just an attack that makes you sheathe the weapon smoothly at the end of the animation so you can start sprinting as some sort of defensive attack would be enough. They are just extremely immobile.
>>741342104I still prefer DD2 version desu
>>741342104I'll never forget how bad it felt seeing the new animation for hindsight slash. I used to love being able to backstep cancel as a fighter in DD1.
>>741304521starting over is a slog, so nobut I did boot it up just to play around a bit and god DAMN they need to add more enemies. I'm sick and tired of copy/paste hordes of goblins. If the DLC is 80% snow and ice goblins I'm gonna lose my fucking shit and in fact, ill wait for a few videos to pop up first and wait for /v/ to try it out before buying it myself just to make sure it's not gonna be Goblin's Dogma 2: Ice Goblin Edition featuring Goblin from the Goblin's Dogma series.
>>741341058he's captain of the guard>>741341193if it were so obvious you wouldn't have any issue saying how he is a caricature, instead of coping like this
>>741342757Not many goblins but expect lots of ice bandits and snow wolves along with ice cyclopes.
>>741342104I like fighter in 2 because of the dynamic physics system
DD2 is one of those games I think about replaying often but never do
>>741304521I played 7 hours on launch before the disappointment started outweighing the fun. Now that I started playing again, I’m ashamed to admit I’m really enjoying it and was just being a doomer earlier.
>>741305771>Depends on if enough people mentioned it in the survey.Coping even harder for armor layers now because I mentioned that in the survey
>>741335078Yeah for some reason, all the face presets in DD2 are just horrendous to work with. In comparison, MH Wilds has a much better character creator, making it relatively easy to create pretty characters. It's only in DD2 where the default options feel like absolute DEI garbage. And most of them feels restrictive, looks ugly and have severe asymmetrical issues so even with skill, no amount of fixing can make do with the inherent imperfections. Even the female body proportions are far too homogenized to make attractive curves what with the wide shoulder and hank hill ass.
I wish I could watch pawns pee
>>741304903This.I had a PC change after swapping saves around too, so I probably need to redo my main playthrough again anyway.
>>741344508dios mio...
>>741344508Nah dude. You can absolutely make an attractive character in dd2. In fact the character creator is one of the best.Your issue is you wank to anime characters, which monster hunter is all about, and pretty cartoon people are your preference over human looking people. If you exclusively jerk off to anime cartoons, no shit you feel that way. And it’s weird dude, you’re one step shy of dudes who jerk it to simpsons porn.
>>741344721Weird cope but ok.
>>741343753Same but they'd have to make a lot more assets. They're adding things to the base map but I think an overhaul like that is unlikely.Judging by the patch notes a lot of people thought the stagger was too much.
>>741307996>she looks like Hillary Clinton without makeupPost pics kek
>>741305664My pawn is the 2nd most beatiful woman in vidya. 1st is my Wilds huntess (too bad shes stuck in a shit game).

>>741344721>You can absolutely make an attractive character in dd2Proof?
>>741344508Ask someone happy with their pawn face and I would bet a decent amount used preset 23.

>>741344508>>741344721>>741345603>>741345941Again, I'm not even trying to be condescending. It's simply a skill issue.
>>741304521Why the hell would I do that when the DLC is probably adding new shit for early game? Still not gonna play it because no mystic knight.
>>741346514lmao, thanks for the laugh anon.
>>741346567>DLC is probably adding new shit for early game?Source?
>>741304521No I finally finished the unmoored world though, to start a new playthrough when the dlc launches. Will play through it then. At minimum, it would only be worthwhile replaying it when the second patch in August is out, the first patch isn't worth a replay.
>>741346514pic not related?
>>741304521Haven't even bought the game yet.Was waiting for the Dark Arisen -expansion before playing and soon that wait is over.Gonna have some blast with it.
Need more proof?

>>741347298No, but I know you're lonely. Maybe I'll let you blow me
>>741304521Doomtroons got completely btfo
>>741347330Oh you're just gay.
I'm so excited bros!
>>741347347Doomtroons will be back full force if the DLC has just reskins.
>>741347361Pot calling the kettle black, you don't find women attractive.
>>741344696>her face when she sees your dick
>>741347390Based
>>741347439Stop projecting anytime.
>>741347439>you don't find ugly women attractiveftfy
>>741346514100%, my archer pawn is lean and muscular (for a woman) but is still pretty and feminine
>>741345560No, u
>>741347390Same, I'm I'm playing through a newer save in preparation! I'll be all geared up and dragonforged when dark arisen 2 hits, and without activating post game.
Face 18 is underappreciated
>>741347569I don't like how they look but at least they don't suffer from the face 23/26 sameface everybody has going on. Maybe 18 is more workable.
>>741346879>t. seething doomtroonYou lost
>>741304521The dlc is in like 4 months, why would you start it now?
>>741347569Face 18 has a good eye shape and mouth, but it suffers from a bad bone structure.
>>741347693If it works anything like Dark Arisen 1, I think that must mean unless you beat the game (or are in unmoored world) you will have access to the expansion content. That's the guess I'm going off, and I'm actually having fun playing again anyway.
>>741305030It ran on mine
npcs don't look as bad as people make them out to be
>>741347642I won, you lost. Assume I posted an image of chad or a smug pepe.
>>741347393>Doomtroons will be backOf course, they are unemployed - they have nothing better to do
>>741347801It literally runs fine at 1080p 60fps no DLSS on my 3060 12GB. That guy >>741305030 is sniffing glue with whatever settings he chose.
>>741346514Share your pawn ID. I'll dress her like the slut she is.
>>741347759it takes you 4 months to beat the game?
>>741347881Who said that? I'm just getting all my gear as upgraded as possible, collecting seeker coins, hopefully max pawn affinity, etc. and stopping before the ending, to just dive right into DA when it drops. It'll probably take me 4 days to 2 weeks if I go quickly with it, the seeker coins are the most annoying thing I guess.
Unless they remove enemy scaling then there is absolutely nothing that they can do to save this game. Getting stronger and shitting on weaker enemies is a huge part of action RPGs, so scaling difficulty completely removes that and makes the game completely unfun. Makes it feel like a boring slog, where you constantly have to re fight standard enemies that are scaled up for no reason. I already fought saurians when I did that proportion of their health with an attack, I don't need to do it again. Hell, that was a huge part of what people talked about from the first game. I guess they mistakenly thought that people getting filtered by those bandits at the top of the hill was a bad thing that didn't appeal to a "broad audience" and so what we need instead is to fall the fuck asleep as we taken on the same exact encounter with the same exact damage and time taken over and over again. I mean, imagine if you had to be just as careful at max level in the undead burg in dark souls as you did at the very beginning of the game. Or if you could get fucking rekt in kingdom hearts by basic shadows at level 99. It would be fucking retarded and feel bad. Anyways, point being that if you're going to have scaling enemies then why even have levels at all? Just remove the RPG systems as they don't serve any purpose at that point, just a meaningless number. It's insane that after ff8 made this mistake like 25 years ago that they decided to do the same thing. Just make a fucking dmc game at this point.
>>741347996Is that armor modded, or was it Trickster?
>>741348086Are you ok?
>>741304521Hilarious how wrong /v/ has been and consistently too, DS2 is good and trannies are gross
>>741348129No I'm not because the original was one of my favorite actions RPGs ever and they completely shit on it with a singular design choice that showed they knew nothing about what people liked about the series. Between dragon's dogma 2 and kingdom hearts 3, I have become completely jaded about any future video game releases as they will all be shit and unfun.
>>741348219Then you are finally free.
>>741348086The game has scaling? My level 100 character 3 hits most non boss enemies with basic sword swings on a mage focused loadout
>>741348012so why start now?
>>741347568i'm so upset about the armors in this game. the removal of the extra slots so you could have layers is so fucking stupid and annoying, now some of the armors have just nothing under the plate and not only that but you can no longer mix and match pieces with clothes or padding or chainmail, and some of the vocation restrictions are just bizarre btw the sabatons of judgement is the leg armor that goes with that "set" you're wearing, if you want it all to matchi say "set" in quotes because sets too kind of no longer exist because each piece has its own name unrelated to any other, like the "gryphic set" for example, which is now gryphic helm and valiant armor and raptor claws, and for some reason helm and chest are limited only to fighter while legs are also available to warrior and mystic spearhand, even though gryphic victory, a warrior weapon, is in the gameit also looks way worse in dd2 imo, the gryphic armor was my favorite in ddda
>>741347569I hate that you can't alter some things about the faces and how much it depends on the base shape you pick. Some faces even have asymmetrical elements that once you see them you can't unsee and it's annoying as fuck..Modded Skyrim with its ability to sculpt faces down to moving individual vertices in the mesh has spoiled me.I'm happy with my Arisen's face (although I think I did use face 23).Used one of the Asian looking faces for my pawn but I'm noticing things I don't like about it and it's bugging me.
>>741348479it was pretty dumb, reducing customisation when you're meant to share pawns is lamealso for me it was the bandit shirts/pants in 1 that were mostly bandages like pic dude has
>>741348479the fashion stuff has taken a huge hit between that and the dragonforged cum layer (which they're at least turning off)i get if less armor slots was easier for balance but if that was the case then i'd rather clothing add 0 stats so you have the 3 meaningful armor slots and then the 2 clothing slots purely for fashion
>>741348479>i say "set" in quotes because sets too kind of no longer exist because each piece has its own name unrelated to any other,oh yeah also i remember looking at armors and stuff at launch and seeing i think there still pretty much was "sets" iirc they usually have matching resistances or whatever
>>741348680I’d be surprised if the DLC doesn’t have a transmog system since they’re doing skills tied to specific equips.
>>741348479Huh, thanks for the tip I'll have to see how they compare visually, the legs. I don't even remember what my favourite armor from DD1DA was.>>741348470Why not? I didn't have a save anywhere near end game before the announcement, so it lit a fire under my ass to get back to leveling, as I erased my first playthrough and NG+ to start over fresh. The combat had become a joke since I was too over leveled. I have no idea if better scaling was patched at some point or not.
>>741348714They don't even look bad as designs too. I would love to be able to mix and match between them and dye armor parts. They also really dropped the ball with how capes clip through shields now.
>>741304521>jump back into game>performamce has improved>turn off ai frame generation and upscaling>performance goes back to shit but at least it doesn't crash every hour anymore>try to remember what I was doing>oh yeah I got to infinite grind lesser dragons for weapon upgrades and to reforge that one plot item that I already have a copy of>go to dragon spawn>it hasn't spawned>go back to house>a single person has used my pawn since I last played>go back to dragon spawn again>it still isn't spawning>Turn game off
>>741348874I think the more you play, the more engagement your pawn gets. Recently uploaded pawns seem to get priority over older ones.
>>741348874I'm so sorry...
>>741305664i too used an Asian preset from Steam guide and i honestly liked it a lot
>>741305664I managed to make a pawn that looked similar to Ryne from FFXIV and Strelitzia from Kingdom Hearts and I don't think I could make anything that looked better in DD2s character creator.
>>741348124Not modded, standard mage slutwear
>>741304521It's censored and lame, you know everything taht will be in the game from the start. There will be no surprises, nothing edgy, nothing cool.It's pure Japanese goy slop.
>>741349536All games now get showcased by streamers and lets plays, so they used to be able to have edgy sexy games. They can't have that anymore. Streamers need to die, they need to start copyright striking them and ceasing this retarded culture where people have turned games into shows that are reliant on coke ads.
>>741348714the main reason i don't consider them true sets is the vocation restrictionsi made kruber as my pawn and i intended to give him the gryphic armor and gryphic victory if they were in the game, i didn't know at the time whether they were i just assumed they'd make a return, vermintide 2 even has a knight griffon cosmetic for him so i thought it was going to be perfect, my disappointment when i finally found the pieces was immense>>741348767other than some of the stylistic changes to the gryphic armor which i don't really like but also don't really mind that much, they made the chest armor flatter instead of it being nicely rounded like before
>>741349763based kruber enjoyer
Whens the multiple saves patch drop? Id like to play again but I dont want to delete my bro.
>>741350031I somehow really doubt they are gonna have 3 save slots. I think it's just separating the slot into 3 parts and they worded it weirdly. I hope I'm paranoid though.
>>741304521Probably playing my ng++ save to just before the dragon in August to prepare for the DLC.
>>741306513I don't think you understand just how unbelievably bleak things were after release, most dogmacopers genuinely went insane
nah, but I'm considering grabbing on seitch 2
>>741306146It's so fucking funny how even if the dlc ends up being good DD2 will just be known as an underbaked idea of a game that got ""saved"" by a dungeon crawler DLC that's the actually good part you reach after slugging through the basegameTruly the cycle never ends, eternal return and all that
>>741315557Unironically one of the worst things i've ever watched, pretty much just wannabe Berserk
>>741316493The world of Dragon's Dogma is literally fucking fake so "much realism" will never be an excuse
>>741350513Worst thing you watched? I found it inoffensive and fine exactly because it was just wannabe Berserk, it was just a fantasy action show to me. I like Berserk, if anime tried to copy it more Id be fine with that, anime is fucking gay because it DOESNT do that.
>>741305167I love the fact that with Itsuno gone the devs are free from his stupid ass-backwards vision and Dragon’s Dogma can just be a normal game FFS
>>741304521No I'm waiting for it to be $5 on a sale, it's true value.
>>741349763>the main reason i don't consider them true sets is the vocation restrictionswayfarer for fashion, but yeah pawns can't do that
>>741350436>have good threads for months while people finish the game>threads die off as people finish>some retards spend months after spamming “oh no no no”>this means everyone HATED it!
>>741350998Warfarer sucks. Shame.
>>741304521I'm so glad I didn't buy it despite my initial hype. I'll wait and see if the DLC makes the game worth buying.
>>741351141Wait till August fixes it.
>>741304521Yeah, tried to do the sphinx quest. Got to the point where I had to bring her some dude. Brought him there, but he fell off the platform, so when she asked if this was the man she sought and it focused on my character I answered "No" because I wanted to pick him up and put him down on the platform again. Then she seemed disappointed and screamed and flew off and the quest ended.Fucking nigger game. Half the time spent is fighting the controls and the awful physics.
>>741305030It's a CPU-bound game, I'm getting 60-70fps (no fake frames) on my 3070.You didn't buy a shitty pre-build and just replace the GPU, r-right anon?
>>741304521i have no doubt this shitty DLC won't fix the gameat the very best it will turn it from a 6/10 slop to 7/10 slop
>>741350113You overdosed on doomium, it's pretty obvious what they meant >>741333512>from one to threeAlready makes no sense with your theory as there was already 2 save types (Inn/general) but one slot.>EACH save SLOT now holds three different types of saved dataPretty clear what it means.There's the weird>slots where adventure data can be saved for each Arisenbut I'm sure it's just poorly worded. And there would be no point saying "for each Arisen" if there's still only one slot.As an extra I can check the JP version of the patchnotes as well.>作成した覚者ごとに冒険データが保存できる 「セーブスロット」 を1つから3つに拡張 Still weird wording but basically "added more slots so you can save progression separately per created character".Also they call the new save type 中断セーブ. I wonder if it means you can only do it when exiting to title.
>>741305416>The aug patch notes sounds like it's going to make the game even easier, when it's already super easyMods fix enemy AI and the patch fixes things that mods can't.

>>741305664>How do you make a good looking female pawn?Pick a face with some eyes and nose that you like since you can't do much to edit those.I based my pawn on my gf
>>741351610This but only the third part.
>>741351141Warfarer sucks because you need the skill to swap skills, so you technically only have 2 fucking skills to slot. With the update theyre adding 2 extra skill slots, so you can actually have a proper skill setup.Like I literally only take the mage staff so I can do healing and dont need a mage, and the fashion. They aught to just remove the armour restrictions or have a transmog system, a game like this should not have class restrictions on equipment like its an MMO. There is not enough armours and the whole point of pawns is you make unique characters to share, cant do that if its linear progression and everyone looks the same. If theyre going to have armour restrictions at least have transmog.
>>741351627Your pawn is not good looking no matter how much you spam her.
>>741351610This but only the second part.
>>741351389>it will turn it from a 6/10 slop to 7/10 slopDD1 is my favourite game of all time and it's a 7/10, so I'm ok with that.>>741351683As a westoid I'm fundamentally incapable of making a vidya character as pretty as the source material (my gf).
>>741351610Removing the metal from the soundtrack is such an underhated crime. Fucking World man, that's games success stripped the soul from crapcom.
>>741351610This but none of them
>>741351803it ain't a j action game without the rockhere's some dmc rockhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5xaNqXyz2E
>>741351790kys poser, DD1 is 9/10 kino
>>741351790It’s cringe to replicate often temporary corporeal social relationships into video games.
While I'm at it.>Warfarer/アリズン>Added a function for easily changing equipment when multiple pieces are equipped.>複数装備時に任意の武具を手軽に変更できる機能を追加Still too fucking vague, but the first thing that comes to mind is something like a weapon wheel on Rearmament hold. Except there's no mention of Rearmament (or its removal, for that matter) and it's a "function". Can someone cope this into being a new core skill or not a skill at all?
>>741351974Why couldn’t they just call it Arisen in the localisation
>>741352030Cause Arisen with Katakana doesn't overlap the Jap word they use for "Arisen" 覚者
>>741352030To make it weird on purpose. Trickster is also just Illusionist (幻術師) in JP.No but the real reason is that Arisen in JP is 覚者.
>>741352123>>741352142Alright call it Urizen instead
>>741352201It has beguhnn
>>741304521>did you make a new game on a game with only one save fileNo.I don’t want to lose my cute pawn and her stats.
>>741352317Literally me
>>741351141i just used it with full warrior skills anyways
>>741352356But the warriors is so inefficient. Sorcerer kills things much faster.
I wish the World of Ruin was more in depth. Killing the brine dragons was cool though.
>>741351075>sold like shit>mixed on steamYeah, everyone hated it
>>741351974Maybe if you use a weapon skill it just auto swaps to the correct one instead of it being greyed out and doing nothing

>>741352943I just want the everfall moon ending is that so hard
>>741352616Let me use weapon skills from other vocations without needing to swap weapons. I want to be able to enchant my shield without having to equip a staff
Do we even have confirmation of new vocations in the dlc yet
Unarmed semi-vocation status?
>>741353406Absolutely zero indications that they will add any extra vocations, so don't expect them
>>741353406Unlikely. They would've opened with that.>>741353446August update is adding sprint and charge unarmed attacks but otherwise no
What's the stats drop off after level 50?
>>741353509>They would've opened with thatThat’s not true, they want a bomb to drop on us
>>741353642They did reveal Warfarer late, but it also didn't have much to show off in the first place. Who knows.
>>741353642Surprising DD fans like Americans surprised the Japanese during WW2
>>741353298They're both mostly background noise, who cares.
>>741352943Honestly thought they had plans to use the Unmoored World, The Moon etc everything as a better Everfall and once again had no time. Either that or it was just my own shit copium.Instead we got an empty map with nothing but skeletons and a few dragons. Such a boring fucking map.
>>741353369You will never get the moon
>>741352831>O! How I have seen the Dragon's Dogma 2!
>>741353848You will never be OG GODma
>>741353967According to the leaks that revealed this game's existence in the first place it even got delayed, si i guess they're just retarded
>>741353975In DD2DA2 for sure, trust the plan.
>>741306520I have a 4070 and I still get framedrops in places like the lizard open air cave close to the big city
>If thou seekest mine moon that floatheth behind me, thou must defeat me, the Dragon's Dogma II™... and my Dark Arisen™ Expansion! Hast thou whatst it taketh????this was when i knew the expansion was ultra refined kino
They hyped us up too much and failed. I'll wait for the DLC to release first, but I'm not touching DD2 again until I see that they've fixed everything.
>>741354257I clapped the whole time btw.
>>741344773Didn’t someone show with a content editor mod that a lot of the assets for separate armor pieces already exist and they were just rolled into a single armor piece?
>>741354302Pretty muchThings like the price slash and the updates kind of make me think that they MIGHT be interested in turning this trash heap into a real game but after pretty much shitting in my face with the release i don't exactly trust them
>>741354257I'll clap when they reveal it's Rothais' dragon that he abandoned after he decided to sit in his goon cave instead being a seneschal.
>>741347569aye using face 18 for my bba pawn too
>>741354257Oh I get it. The moon is the Watcher because it controls the tides. It’s eclipsed in Norgan because it can’t see that area.
>>741354448It doesn't make sense to me, because DD2 shouldn't effect DD1 but I haven't been back to the original ever since DD2 released.
now that I think about it one thing I'll miss in DD2DA is the new enemies won't show up in towns (I'd wager Norgan doesn't even have a town as such, just your little safehouse with the rift crystal/loot obaa-san). It was fun seeing goblins or an ogre load into Vernworth's plaza while you're just minding your own business and seeing the chaos that unfolds.I won't forget seeing Goblins just walk down one of the main streets for a second before they aggro'd. They thought they were people...As much shit as people give DD2 for enemy variety (justifiably) it does actually have some of my favourite goblins and basic enemy designs in any game. Like seeing Hobgoblin eyes glint in a cave off of your lantern's light like a cat, that's good shit! Never seen a game do that.The problem is the lack of more out there things to fight (dullahan and the Unmoored World dragons are good but they're few and far between).
You DID fuck you pawn to get the pawn ending, right?
>>741355301Your* I promise I’m not a jeet I’m just phoneposting
>>741355367jeets ARE phoneposting
DO NOT FUCK YOUR PAWN
>>741355503HELP I HAVE DRAGON AIDS
>>741353975BBI is on the moon
>>741304521I believe the DLC is adding shit to the base game so obviously not.
scared to do so in case the DLC requires a new game
>>741353298>the utter kino of OG DD'sThe city's music is nice but so far everything else has been either meh background noise or awful. 2 has the good track from 1 already.
>>741355231Hopefully the likes of the Cockatrice and other non-Winter themed enemies can show up outside of Norgen. I remember exploring Vernworth after dragon's plague once and taking in the somber atmosphere before getting ganked by a random gang of saurians. Completely killed the mood.
>>741355231BasedDD2 has enemy variety problems in a lot of ways, but it excels at making each enemy and variant have a lot to them and their behaviors.In DD1, a sulfur saurian is just a saurian with a different elemental resistance, in dd2 an Asp acts and fights very differently from a regular saurian. Hobgoblins aren't just bigger goblins, they have different animations, attack patterns, AI, all very noticeable and distinct. However, dd2 also doesn't understand the value of basic variants. I think giant skeletons are a good example. Giant skeletons are just skeletons but giant, but that one change is enough to make them just different enough to be worthwhile, and it's cool seeing them. Why aren't there giant skeletons in 2? Why aren't there undead with weapons in 2? Yeah undead with swords aren't in the top 20 dragon's dogma enemies and I never think about them, but without them, something feels like it's missing.High hopes the DLC will add a lot more enemy types, both meaningfully different and some basic variants.
the only good songs DD1 had>wind pushing me>coils of light>cassardisotherwise the rest of the ost in DD1 and DD2 suck and not memorable at all. >>741355231>>741356376game needs MORE enemy variety and their corresponding behaviours littered throughout the world.
>>741304521after i finish replaying some RE games
>>741356376DD1 hobgoblins have different movesets from regular goblins as well. The saurian differences are more subtle like some species having a charging running attack or a strong downwards stab (not the jumping one). Harpy variants are all the same though.
>>741356454You only value songs that stand out a lot.
>Dragon AidsNah
>>741356018DD2 has way too many ganks. The first walk to Bakbattahl was the worst offender of this for me because in a 30 minute span of time, it felt like I was out of combat for a combined total of 2 minutes.They really tried to lean in to the "make travel fun" philosophy but this was not the way.
>>741356454https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBXrCjRd-28I had a transcendental experience the first time in the Grigori fight, specifically the run to the ballista arena
>>741356376The enemy visual differences are excellent, there's no simple retextures and even the gore/elder variants have changes (the chimera's goat has different horns and hair length, the goreminotaur has bigger horns and added chains, elder ogres have much shaggier fure and more spurs coming out of their flesh).Except for wargs. Wargs are recolored Garm who are half the size and doubled in number. Not a fan of the new drake looking just like the current drake either, but oh well.
>>741356836Fuck you're right about the hobgoblins and alt attacks for sauriansI kind of forgot about that
I think it's cool how you find a gorechimera on the beach right by cassardis in the Dark World and in the Unmoored World you also find a gorechimera on the beach by where you wake up
>>741355503Oh come on. He's totally fuckable.
Will Norgan bring us the comfy fashion or we doomed to look like dime store vikings?
>>741357970The latter though look forward to the Frost Witch Leotard
>>741357970Don’t care my pawn is still wearing the corset regardless
>>741357970Say what you will, but this mogs every set in the base game
>>741355231The visual design of the enemies is genuinely unmatched and the first few hours of DD2 genuinely feel like the best game ever made, I still remember fighting my first ogre in a dim fucking cave after it slaughtered all of my pawnsProblem is that it not only does not follow up on that but pretty much crumbles halfway
>>741357412>Not a fan of the new drake looking just like the current drake either, but oh wellYeah it fucking sucks, even lazier than in DD1 cause they had different wing and horn sizes At least the new basilisk thing looked incredible
Did they do something about the SphinxFamily pawns after every redditor named their pawns as one of those?
>>741358576If you name your character and have all pawns as a sphinxfamily type you get a fully animated intractable paizuri scene and facesitting scene. If you're playing as a female she eats you out
I want to eat my Pawns shit
>>741358925Does it have uhh, armpit licking too? This is important.
>>741359116Yeah. From both sides. The sphinx can lick your pits and you can lick hers.
