I'm actually having fun. You could even say a blastAre your adventures going well, Arisen?
>Fucks up the RPG progression in your game
There's a lot of misinformation going around about the Beorcan people as of late. Beorcans are not just raiders, but also traders and explorerThe Beorcan people have made such wonderful discoveries for Norgan such as the loot in your village which can be traded in Beorcan villages to help the economy continue to fluster.They're also wonderful pet owners, taking their wolves out for walks and letting them have their fun with what ever chew toy they come across, be it Hare, Deer, Bugaboo or Arisen.Remember these facts next time you see a party of Beorcan coming close to you, they're as much people as you are, just hard workers trying to make ends meet with your meat.
You should DISABLE your HUD and MINIMAP, NOW!
So if you kill the sphinx after finishing the original questline to get the eternal wakestone you can't do the new sphinx stuff I'm guessing idk if it's a different sphinx or not
>Itsuno removed>game gets goodNow if I had a nickel for every time this had happened, I would have two nickels, but it's interesting how it has happened twice.
>>749446037are there titscan i suck the big fat featureless sphinx tits
>enemies respawn>but only a few times>and sometimes the rules don't count!very fucking informative.
no loli no buy simple as
Really enjoying the mix of Nordic architecture and clothing with Ainu fashion such as this headband.
>>749446415They've updated the 150 height mod already.
>>749446309I did. No map, just exploring with my pawn, constantly at death's door as we try to figure out where a campsite is.>just use the orienteer specializationNo.
>>749446473I will now finally buy your gamer
>>749446473Can I make them flat chested and sound like a loli?
LET'S FUCKING GOOONO LIMITSAAAAA
Hey AIfagsPort over the first game into 2, include BBIThanks
>>749446578>Hello GLM 5.3? Please be making a mod for loli sex. Max thinking, make no mistakes
>>749446427Oh that is actually an Ainu headband you're right. It's basically 1:1 too.
>>749446636I will take that as a no.shalln't play
>>749446517Holy based
>>749446739I actually don't know, just shitposting
>>749446578Not with clothes off, but tons of outfits look flat. Not that you care or were planing on playing the game anyway.
>you can cook outside of camp nowwhy in the fuck is this not in the base gamejeez itsuno
>>749446739>shalln'tSh#rp poster...
>>749446880I ONLY played DD1 because it had a loli pawn, IF DD2 gets loli pawns, I would play it, simple as.
One questionMOON STATUS AHHH
>>749446959Still no moon
>>749446958that's cool, but we're playing the game now so maybe you should go find something to actually play
>dungeon requires very light weight>very few supplies>only me and my pawn>tfw corrupted dullahan>twice
>>749447212which vocation for you and your pawn?
>>749447076>No lolis on the moonCapcom must pay
>>749447231warrior and mage, as god intended
This is so fucking kino.
>>749447202I'm already playing video games™ just came here to remind you why I won't play dragon slopma 2
>>749447283respectable though fighter is cooler
>>749446037I'm lv 65 about to turn in the 15 Wyrmslife crystal for the Godsbane, can I start the DLC content like that?
>>749447326took me an hour to kill them on hard mode but 132k xp each was worth it.
>>749447386damn, based
>>749447312sure thing retard
>>749446037Did they add in actual graphics options? I was fucking around with what little options the game gives you last year or so and this fucking game green-screened my PC.
So is it good? Is it worth coming back for if I was severely let down by the base game?
>>749447649it's good but if you hated the base game you're going to hate the dlc. it's not fundamentally different. if the base game had this DLC from the start, I wouldn't have gave them a negative review on steam though.>>749447574>green screenthats a GPU driver error. has nothing to do with the game. the made it run a lot smoother but idk if that's going to help your driver issues.
How often should I use the doggo? I don't really care for following it around but if it actually have good drops i'd consider it
>>749447839I want to know too.
Do the game still runs like shit? Can it run on a 3060?
New warrior skill is super nice.
>>749448042I'm running it on a laptop on a 3060 and it runs fine enough.
>>749448042They patched the game like a month ago and gave everyone a 20-40fps boost somehow.
Be real with me anonsHow many brand new (not reskinned) monsters did they add
>>749447875Hard mode is fundamentally different, I am getting bullied
>>749448081The warrior skill upgrades are fucking orgasmic too, like the upgraded counter is so, so good.AlsoThere's blood rage too from the ghost meister.
>>74944821467
>>749446037>takes Bitterblack Isle, the best content in the first game>make it open world... it ends up as bloated as it sounds>enemy variety still not fixed, everything except the cover dragon is a damage sponge reskin with a few extra attacks>BBI worked because it wasn't a huge open world, "BBI but skyrim" misses the entire point of what made it special replacing tightly designed interconnected dungeons with an open field you have to cross to reach the stuff actually worth playingnot worth it unless you already own the game since it'll be required for the mods that actually make the game good
>>749448214You'll shit your pants when you encounter bugaboos
>still haven't gotten to the DLC areaMan i want to post in the threads but i don't want to get spoilered. Are there any elves in the new area?
>>749448214I've seen:Evil eye from dddaDeath from dddaUndead dragon from dddaGoat demons from ddonA gaping dragon cyclops from the trailerA dragon/griffin hybrid from the trailer
Just finished it, ask me anything.Short and sweet: 10/10 the best Dragons the Dogma has to offer.
can you play the game with just you and your main pawn? I don't feel like dragging two more npcs with me.
>>749448439>>749448214
>>749448307Shut up with this copy paste already. We know you didn't play the game, anon.
>>749448262Apparently there is a "gain hp from attacking" ring and I'm waiting to see how it works until I start spamming that skill.
>>749448307Pajeetling seal of shit, feel free to ignore
>>749446037i dont understand this game. it like, a game with no game design... yeah you move around and press attack and attack animations happen etc, but there's like no flow or sense to it. everything is hard animation locked, you just spam m1, skills don't really display any kind of power or coefficient so you don't even know if its good or what its for, unless its obvious like a charge/jump attack. you might be on a class with no defensive so you just dash around until the dumb slow AI is not looking at you, spam m1 until it looks at you, then i guess wait 3 seconds for the animations to end so you can dash around in circles again. it's like temu monhun and even has a lot of ripped animations and little details like monsters drooling when tired. but if you removed all of the actual game design and sense out of monhun. the "cool/unique" factor is in grappling onto monsters, which is just like... drain all your stamina so you can do less damage than spamming m1 and maybe get flung to an instant death... cool? it's like a game for NPCs that have no understanding or interest in a video game beyond just things happening on screen you are barely connected to controlling whilst mashing 1 button or your one good damage skill. and that feeling extends to everything else like the world exploration. at first its kind of immersive - there are dark nights, and camping, and hey we ripped off monhuns thing of needing to rest/eat or you will have -max HP, but we aren't going to signal it or make it flow nicely at all in game design, we just kind of... put it in the game lol. so it all ends up being busy work, storage management, wading through menus, and mostly just generally being lost/bored/confused most of the time whilst playing. then you run into a dragon with 5 health bars. you fight for 20 minutes spamming m1. then one of its random 1-shots happen whilst your camera is stuck in a cliff wall and hopefully you just turn the game off and realize its irredeemable shit.
>>749448421>deathNicesad we don''t have prisoner gorecyclops
>>749448472No, the controller stops working if you do that.
I caved in and bought the DLC even though I didn't even finish the base game back when it launched. Should I start with hard mode or is it a meme difficulty?
>>749448597thisbuy crimson desert instead
>>749448731You will actually get raped (figuratively) on hard mode.
>>749448810The good kind of rape or the bad kind of rape? Hard mode in the first game was piss easy except for the very beginning
>>749448597Dragon's Dogma is what you get when you have an autistic game director trying to make their weird niche fantasy immersive sim but then also having to please the corporate overlords who wants a big mainstream RPG that sells millions, that's why it feels schizophrenic
>>749448731There is no reason not to play Hard mode.
>>749448472Yeah, you can even play it solo.>>749448491Well, let me see.. There's a lot of variants, but they're beefed up and have unique skills, feel very different to fight. The lesser demons are really fucking great, as well as the two new liches. There's the ghost/snow dog, the fire breathing Gagan/bird, then the yawn giant (gobbles you up).This isn't to mention the bosses, like the Satanachia, really fun fucking fight. All in all, the combat really gets fucking intense later on in the DLC. You get shit like liches and demons fighting together then a huge wave of skellies (mages, fighters, captain/boss 2 hander) and the new undead grabbers that get ragdolled like fuck but run up your ass and oh my god. It's NOTHING like the base game with the fucking goblins and saurians, you get some of them earlier on but even then they're variants. The lost rite dungeons also add a lot of variety to the base game fighting, it's honestly a bit disgusting how much better the combat is now with the new skills and better enemies.
>>749448472>we don't have a vocation with bonus for playing solo (or at night)fug
>>749448960I want a vocation with a bonus for playing with flat chest pawns
>>749448921Sounds like there aren't really that many new enemies but their distribution and challenge scaling is better.
>>749448960There are rings for that.
>>749448865Crapcum always makes games for the lowest common denominator
>>749449063this is the gayest of the discord troon spammed imagesI liked both games, what a fucking stupid imagebtw here's one for you
>>749449117Subversive tactics being everywhere is so tiresome. Luckily the types of people who use them are always retarded and incapable of creativity like this.
>>749449117>No rebuttal The Raped™
>>749449340we don't sign our posts here you retarded discord jeet
>>749449340>this faggot is so mad I called him The Raped with a trademark a few days ago that he's calling everyone else itgame is amazing and you're here shitting yourself while everyone is having funlmao @ ur life
>>749448921On the variants, a good example would be the human enemies, the barbarians. Base game has bandits and that's it. Here they're bigger and faster and will fuck your shit up, using vocation skills and working together with tamed direwolves. >>749449031I'm trying to think of enemies not yet mentioned, but yeah, the variety is a lot better in what you fight, how you fight and where you fight. You've got stage hazards too and shit like snowstorms. I had a ton of fun throwing fuckers in a frozen lake and then my pawns all drowned because one of them called meteor while they were on a frozen section huddled up and the meteors broke it. Probably the best factor for me here is that it really feels like an adventure. You're checking your map, looking for some loot, exploring and checking for places to camp out to hold the weather and make some food. One of my best moments was when I had to fucking mosey after an undead ambush left me stranded and I couldn't riftstone (can't riftstone in a snowstorm) so I just had to press on with like 15% health and no fucking clue, fucking great. When you're in the endgame of the DLC, you can start gear farming and it's not like you have to just run through the world again, as the fights are actually in small portals that you interact with in your already explored area, so you can go between 'fight rooms' very quickly and efficiently. It's got the best of both worlds.
>>749446037>
>>749446329for real, itsuniggers seething
>>749449638They'll fill out those slots come Dragons Dogma 3 Dark Arisen: Moon Edition, Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry
>>749449468>can interact with fight rooms quickly What? Really? I dont have to journey out to the dungeons each time I want to redo them?
>my friend's pawn just told me he failed the sculpture quest a made a bad sculpture after I turned it in, so now I can roast him that's fucking funny
>game crashed seconds after finishing a gore chimera fight and getting lvl 3 spoilsIt's a good fucking thing I have a habit of saving after every big battle otherwise I'd be very pissed right now.
>>749449747My coworker fucked up that battahl book side quests and got the family killed and her pawn tattled on her to me. Its the best when you can shit on people fucking up in the game
Is this like BBI where you need to kill the last boss to start actually getting level 3 weapons or can you get them earlier? Are level 3s the only ones with improved versions of master skills?>>749446329First off, only extra special retarded niggerfaggots think base DD wasn't good or that DA substantially changed it when in reality it was just one fucking dungeon. Second, DA2 doesn't make the game good, it just adds one DLC area that's better than the base game. It still has problems.
>>749449738Oh, you're talking about the lost rites, sorry bud, gotta port crystal those if you wanna redo them, I think. I'm talking about fights in the DLC area, "rancor" as the game calls it. You interact with a glowing orb and it creates a fight arena for you to fight waves of enemies/bosses and then get a lot of loot for your troubles.
/v/ can't go two seconds without becoming a histrionic woman the second GODtsuno and kinoGOD get brought up despite being btfo hard every thread
>>749448309Fuck these things. DLC enemies are annoying but doable on hard mode, but these little niggers hop around like crickets and you move slow as molasses with most classes.
Where is the Wailing Giant for the body riddle? I was told to go north east at dawn and i never found anything
im still upset about the performance.
>>749449972You need to talk to the innkeeper to get a dialogue trigger. It's retarded.
>>749449879There's ___six___ levels of gear.Levels 1-5 and then ultimate.Levels 5 and ultimate are after the last boss.You can get improved skills with even level 1s and it's not only master skills, each vocation has like, I dunno, three or so skills that weapons can upgrade? There's also a brand new obelisk skill and then a brand new ghost meister skill you can unlock.
>>749450019Works on my machine.
>>749449926>he doesnt just instant transmission teleport with spearhand or thief or fighteryoure missing the point of the game
>>749448597>grappling onto monsters, which is just like... drain all your stamina so you can do less damage than spamming m1if you had actually played the game you'd know your character gains special pierce attacks for hits on weak parts after you're done climbing the monster.
>>749450034What's the deal with rng weapon effects that have a triangle on their icon as well? Is there another tier where you get rare versions of the same effect? This is is just endless rng lol
Where's everyone going? Bingo?
>>749450034I've gotten 1 and 2 and I've gotten some obelisks so I figured it was 3 levels and then only 3s could have master skill upgrades. Guess I'll rush the story.
>>749446037dark arisen? oh fuck like the 1st game dlc?sorry I stopped giving a fuck about this game after seeing how pozzed and badly optimized it wasdid the dlc fix the game?how pozzed is it
>>749446282Can't believe you didn't get more (You)s for the somalian beorcan post
>>749450076no, he still has a point, as climbing and cling attacks are only worth it if you have a weapon that has those pierce attacks. if you're a fighter with a mace, warrior, sorcerer, mage, magick archer or archer, climbing is next to pointless for you.only thief, spearhand, and fighter with a sword can truly benefit from climbing and cling attacks (and cling attack abilities like fighter's gouge)
BEORCAN ARCHER IS MY WIFE DO NOT CARRY HER AND OGLE HER ASS SHE'S MINE
>>749450296As pozzed as the first game.
>>749450361she doesn't wipe.
>>749450296also BBI ISLAND STATUS!???>>749450445dunno bro, looks more pozzed than the first game
>>749450464Mhm.
>>749446228Dragon's Dogma 2 doesn't have RPG progression, it has world level scaling that makes the "levels" completely pointless.
>>749450445Good, we like it a bit wild up here in the north.
>>749450591>it has world level scaling that makes the "levels" completely pointless.
>>749450051i know. its mostly ok with 2x framegen (120ish) but it fucks up the ui. its just upsetting that this is normal now.
>>749450578Nubian king with funny accent>>749450464Mutt abomination
>>749446037I'm still early in the game so I'm just doing those new dungeons when I can as I make my way. They're pretty fun, though I'm confused with the weapons they give. They're kind of weak for the level expected.
>>749448214The giant guy isn't a cyclops reskin right?t doesn't feel like them at all, they do one big swing and the cold breath is scary.The white ogre funnily enough felt less aggressive than the regular one, though they're much tankier.
>>749446037Wacky wacky, look who is back!
>>749450673Why are you even asking, discordnigger? Like, do you really think people don't notice?Man, people are really this mentally ill.
>>749450654In the nature of how it works in DD2 anon isn't wrong. The issues were there in the first game as well however BBI had a better means of slowing down the over scaling issues without it just going the other direction and feeling like your stats never matter.
>>749450673Dark Arisen
>>749450796What's the moveset like? Two moves again?
>>749446959See >>749447301>>749446583That fight is in the moon
Itsuno's vision.....
if I have the godsbane & just got the dlc but havent seen the credits yet what are my options
>>749450860Uh no it's not.
>>749450810Bro most of these threads are the same images and arguments over and over. The poor guys gotta trick the bosses somehow.
>>749450839Wrong, the first game does not have scaling. Enemies are set levels and the player leveling does not change their levels or stats.
>>749450578a black character is not the same as a whole lot of obese female niggress knights, faggot
>>749450916Wow that sounds exactly like the second game.
>>749450898Yes it is, and its obvious for anyone with a brain, you jump into the moon
>>749450810>117 results foundretard
NOOOOOOOO
>>749450919True, one of them is a randomly generated NPC and one of them is a major plot character.
>>749450810>Been posting the same image since 2024 God daymn these people are so creatively bankrupt.Are they just bots?
>>749451024>randomly generatedLol
>>749450351...yeah?you'd only climb the monster in a pointy weapon scenario. Bow and mage classes don't need to grapple because they heavly rely on elemental damage and/or melee ally pawns. Also maces sucks in general and you should never use them. They were a lot better in DD1
>>749450964No, that isn't how the second game works at all and I must assume you didn't play the game to even think that. The second game has world level scaling where every single enemy scales up every time you gain a level, so fighting starting enemies at max levels is basically exactly the same as when you first started. The only thing that makes you more powerful is getting more skills.
Any tips for Mystic Spearhand? I like the party-shield but I don't feel like I'm using the skills effectively. Most of my damage comes from critting stunned/downed enemies, which isn't useful against bosses.
the pawn voicelines aren't nearly as memorable as the first game
>>749450884bumpan this question too.
>>749451113Are you mentally ill?Like, do you have a handler? How do you even manage to confidently spout so much bullshit that anyone can check? I guess me one shotting goblins is just a figment of my imagination.
This is what capcom stole from us
https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonsDogma2/comments/1x27jo4/enemies_of_the_dlc_dark_arisen/SatanachiaGaganaEvil EyeDeathDemon OgreGoat demonNorgan giantIce Drake/Fimbl These are the new big enemies, the rest are either X form of Ice or X form of glowing red eyes
>>749451197did mods fix it
>>749450884>>749451153You can start the DLC and/or do lost rites aka new dungeons in the base game areas. Just go talk to Brant, all that's required is that you've reached the main city to start the quests for the expansion.
>>749450034>brand new ghost meister skillWhere do you get those?
>>749451196That is literally how the game works you stupid nigger. The game is an absolute slog. Itsuno came out and lampshaded this terrible design choice before the game came out by saying that other open world games have "boring traveling." What he really meant is that in his game you have to do menial combat against enemies you've killed 1000 times but are now much more powerful to keep it taking a ton of fucking time. Seriously the absolute worst decision ever and ruined the game. Oblivion made this mistake 20 years ago btw.
>>749450884>>749451153STEP ONE: Go talk to Brandt in the capital. he will give you 2 new quests (theyre colored blue in his dialogue), one to investigate norgan via seeing what some soldiers in the city are planning to do on the queens orders, and another quest about ruinsSTEP 2: do the quest about ruins. it will lead you to your first treasure which includes an item that reveals where the other ruins are. go do all of them. YES ALL OF THEM. there are like, 9 in total i think. along with VERY good gear (for the base game), youll get offering flames, which is an item you need for norganSTEP 3: once youre done with the ruins, go start norgan by working on the first quest brandt gave youthere you go
>>749451197Pedos deserve less
>>749451307Once you kill the undead dragon, you can go to the obelisks again to fight ghost meisters for skills. >>749451309Try a new angle, retard. That's just so banally wrong it's not even funny.
>>749451309bro you are literally just fucking wrong. monsters dont scale with you. the reason its a slog is because you have to chew through waves of one shot goblins when running around places all the time, after way out leveling them
>>749451397And yet Trump is the president
is the level scaling retard this same faggot who claimed that you had to be level 200 for hard mode DLC because he didn't know about the stat growth curve?LMAO, he types exactly the same. Incoming 500 walls of screeching text
>>749451226Not going to act disappointed or anything but the whole "we have a lot if enemies using new skeletons" thing turned out to be a lie. People should really stop taking anything said in pre-release interviews as confirmation.
What's up with the gay jewish propaganda as soon as you start the dlc? I just talked to an npc and they talk about le no borders le everybody is mixed here we don't do that in Germany shit tier
>>749451441Damn
>>749451547Mind broken
>>749451505Expected since they weren't showing that much, and the paid shills were baiting people with "a lot of new enemies after certain point" was just the true final boss and Death
>>749451373You really shouldn't do all of the lost rites before going to the north, some of them are pretty tough and you can always come back when you need more flames.
>>749446037ye
Do all the lost rites have free portcrystals at the entrance or is it just the first one
>>749451582I know you are but thank you for getting triggered and confirming it is that vile filth
>>749451257>>749451373Thanks bros, have a free wallpaper.
people who aren't in late game honestly shouldn't speak about the DLC it's incredibly cringe to hear them say dumb shit over and over completely unaware of what the game is.
>Norgan can be accessed right away>Last Rites require you to all but finish the story>Norgan equipment trivialises the RitesBravo Shitsuno
OOOOOH HOW I HAVE SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN THE DRAGOOON'S DOOOOOOOGMA
>>749451664Well, it's not "people", you know?
>>749451601the only one which is even remotely tough is the 'you must be an archer' one because it's so goddamn easy for your pawns to just yeet themselves off the platforms and vanish into deep water, and the 'you can have only two weapon skills equipped' one because in addition to that you're forced to fight alone without your pawns against some truly bullshit enemy types. and even THAT one is easy if you know about it beforehand and you bring the right vocation and skills
>>749451685Not all lost rites require the godsbane and there's a couple that are in unmoored world too, which is post story.
>>749451747I had trouble with the light gear only one when I went in at level 40 and in hard mode...
hire my pawn>pc>level 115>W30HWTNNUMTE
>>749451783Which ones don't? Because all but one that I've been to requires the Godsbane.
how the hell are people in the triple digit levels
>>749451898I never capped my level. And I have 750 hours.
>>749448597is this what happens when dumb people think a lot
>>749451898Hard mode + Late game DLC gives you a LOT of XP.However, the levels start giving like 1 or even 0 stats after a bit, so the difference between level 150 and 190 is very small.
>>749451898Hard mode exp is whack, doubly so if you're doing endgame shit>enter dungeon at level 70>leave dungeon at level 80
>>749451836Speaking of, it made me think, are the Archer's blight arrows the only source of poison in the game besides those poison pots?
>>749451898I hunted for the badges in base game, with an XP ring and the medusan bow. I was already like 120/130 before the DLC.
>>749452071no, sorcerer has a spell which causes itbut its still absolute fucking CANCER that thats the only way to kill those blue slimes. especially since pawns have a real bad habit of breaking pots with their attacks
>>749451970>>749451978>>749452047ah okay
>>749449638green and yellow are the same fucking color
DLC bros, I am about to get the Godsbane on my new run so I can finally head off to the DLC after I do some of the dungeons. I have a good amount of Wyrmslife Crystals; can I forge DLC gear or should I cash them out with one shot arrows?
>>749452047There it is.That motherfucker.
>>749446228>Shits on shitsuno shop progression and open world slop
How did this thing fit on Switch 2?
>>749452071There's a blight strikes passive you can get on weapons. Not sure if all types are eligible for that one, I didn't pay attention to stuff I don't use.
>>749449063lol Elden Ring was half a Ubisoft game. You literally can't get more lowest common denominator than that.
>>749452223They are using a brand new build of RE Engine hence the game redownloading itself on Steam. This new build is optimized for handhelds/phones. RE4R is on iphone btw.
>>749452071Fuck them slimes, they're just slimes so I just run away.
>>749452047he was a fucking damage sponge and i loved every second of it
>>749452223If Cyberpunk+Expansion could get a physical cart release then why not DD2 Dark Arisen?
this last boss is ass as warrior
Norgan being so kino really does highlight how dog shit some aspects of the base game was.
>>749446037I'm getting my ass kicked. I can't ever recall having this many close shaves. I love it
What's your favorite aspect of DD2? I've never played Dragons Dogma and was initially super interested when DD2 was first announced but the dogshit performance put me off until I recently saw they apparently improved it a ton (and hopefully this makes its way to MH Wilds because I want to play that too kek).
>>749452134Speaking of weaknesses, is there a way to tell what they are? The Pawns only call out some of them and for everything else I feel like I'm just guessing.
>>749451140For bosses either do magic cannon or the small flying swords (but shoot the boss with your bolt first, it increases the flying sword damage)If there are things around the environment like rocks and stuff, use the telekinesis to throw them at the bossKeep refreshing the shield and stamina succ the boss when you run out of stamina
>>749452173I think the you're meant to finish the Rites, go the Unmoored World, finish the Rites there, go NG+, run through the prologue NG+, then go Norgan.
>>749451898I went from 85 to 88 in like 15 minutes, hard mode in early DLC
>>749452507I beat him with it, it actually gets better when it rages and you can start countering more.
>>749452173I think the you're meant to finish the Rites, go the Unmoored World, finish the Rites there, go NG+, run through the prologue NG+, then go Norgan.>>749452516I don't know if it was Shitsuno's fault, or Crapcom shafting the team of resources. But it's a travesty that we are once again relying on the DLC to release the good shit. Maybe Dragon's Dogma 3
>>749452573my favorite aspect is you can boot it up and play really fast and uninterrupted. theres almost no loading screens besides the initial load. combine with console or windows suspend feature and its like always ready to play.
what was his problem?
>>749452573This isn't an answer you would want to hear because it tells you literally nothing about it but for me it's simply just the vibes. DD2 and by extension DD1 offer such a unique and comfy adventure experience that you can't get anywhere else. It's a game that cares more about being an adventure first and a game second.
>>749452639That's a good meme, I like it.Better yet, you should reach unmoored in NG+ before going Norgan, just in case.
>>749452304Cope
>>749452575If a pawn doesn't have knowledge, then no. They'll consistently call out the weakness once they know it. Otherwise it's trial and error until you find something.
>>749452706I haven't even got to the unmoored world yet but doesn't it have a time limit and basically force you to end the game once you've exhausted that time limit?
>>749452717No heart to feel, no body to bleed and no soul to suffer.
>>749452771>They'll consistently call out the weakness once they know it.Erm actually they'll call out what their code tells them to call out. A lot of them are straight up lies.Like they'll tell you undead are weak to holy, but that's not true unless you install a mod. fun fact.
>>749452573The jank. And the pawns' overwhelming aughtism.
>>749452826Eh? No way, the healing bubble saved my ass so many times with the DOT it does to undead.
>>749452826>t,undeadYou won't fool me
>>749446037personally? yea, I am having an absolute blast.
>>749452763>Do Norgan before finishing the Lost Rites>Trivialise the games first good set of dungeons because lvl 1 Norgan gear > Unmoored and Rites gear
>>749452573I love games that let you pick different classes/jobs/vocations/etc
>>749452871They take damage from healing spells but they do not take extra damage from the holy element.
>>749452919Yeah I didn't even know the dungeons were scaled for the base game and not scaled for post game like Norgan was. Why the fuck are they locked behind story progression when you can just go to Norgan literally whenever with zero restriction?
>>749452810It's not a time limit, it's a rest limit: time doesn't move in the Unmoored World until you rest, and you can only rest a limited number of times. If you have other ways of recovering your Loss Gauge, you can get by without advancing the time. Originally that meant Allheal Elixirs, but there's some other alternatives introduced in Norgan. I'm pretty sure you can also use a Wakestone when you die to remove the Loss Gauge. Pawns can always be dismissed/killed and then rehired to get their health back.
Are new enemy types scattered around base world as well or just in the new dungeons and DLC area?I haven't boughted the DLC yet
>>749446037How the fuck do you properly fight the aura wolf ? That took way too long I must have been doing something wrong
>>749453007Yeah but then that means I have to do the entirety of the expansion area without ever using an inn to rest which sounds retarded. Why the fuck did they design it that way? That's just objectively bad game design. Why wasn't that fixed in a patch.
>decide to take an oxcart>immediately get attacked by wolves while still in townThe pack never changes
What's the best pawn vocation for a fighter?
>>749453089Don't get hit. There's even a new achievement for doing the Final Proving Grounds (the last Lost Rites dungeon, found in the Unmoored World) without recovering the Loss Gauge at all. You are expected to get by without the Loss Gauge being an issue, and are punished if it is.
>>749453085in classic ragnarok online fashion you must use holy element to deal dmg to darkness/undead. even healing is enough if it counts as holy.
>>749449063DD's combat craps all over soulslikes.
>>749453192any dps or mage, everyone does mage because it's easy to keep them loaded up with your buffs of choice
For any sorc/mage bros you can stack exalted bolt and an elemental affinity to get a fuck ton of damage on auto, even better if you can get the upgraded version of exalted
>>749453089Don't listen to that fucking retard, do the DLC before unmoored, he's baiting you to fuck yourself up as you rest a lot in Norgen.
>>749453192Another fighter
>>749453246Ah, that's why it kept dropping the aura when it ran into the mage heal AoE. It really wasn't hard at all, it just took fucking forever.
>>749452573>What's your favorite aspect of DD2?The game is 90% frustration and bad world/quest design, but then the other 10% is the physics and combat and pawns coming together to give you exactly what you want: a next gen Dragon's Dogma game. Those moments are absolute fucking kino and no other game (except DD1) comes close to giving you experiences like that.
>>749453283This Arisen fucks.
>>749452573the zero to hero feeling is unmatched. Not too shonen, not too realistic.
>Warrior>Get a skill that recovers HP when I deal damage>Suddenly become fucking dark knight I AM FUCKING INVINCIBLE
>>749453089>>749453273I feel like there was a bit of a misunderstanding. The thing about resting and time only matters IN THE UNMOORED WORLD specifically. You can rest as much as you want before getting there. I don't think you can even access Norgan in the Unmoored World; they're completely separate.
Eating hairy, sweaty, musky Beorcan bandit pussy......!
>>749453407>>>/trash/
>>749453407this but her asshole
>>749453387If getting to the unmoored world locks you out of accessing Norgan then what's the point?
>>749453448There's three extra Lost Rites dungeons in there. I hear they're pretty tough so you should actually wait until after Norgan to do them anyway to make sure you're geared up.
>>749453407you'll be waiting a while for all those direwolves to finish their turn
>>749446037yuphere's a picture of a cat petting a dog
>>749453573>Tag-teaming Beorcan pussy with the direwolf bro you raised from a pup
>>749453647Aww he's smiling :)
>>749452573Ragdolling enemiesCharged Warrior skills to giant monster's facesPerfectly timed Deathly arrow to the face (that ragdolls non-giant enemies)
ohh I get it, very funny capcom>>749452573Same as the first game, the feeling of travelling the world with a team, fighting all kinds of beasts and monsters is still unmatched. There's a feeling of freedom in Dragon's Dogma games that I don't think is in other games.
>>749453531So do the story up to the last quest before just before the unmoored world and then do Norgan
ok, thats a hire
>>749453873I respect his strength
Playing DD2’s main quest in preparation for the expansion and then playing the main quest for Dark Arisen 2 has made me irrationally angry about the state of the base game and its release. Who was the retard in charge of quest design that thought it was a good idea to have 40% of your time in Vermund prancing through the castle and the masquerade hall? You don’t fight any monsters. Hell, you don’t even interact with any kind of gameplay at all because the game has no stealth system. You literally just walk through hallways and then pick up a note. That’s it. And when you do get a quest that’s not a dogshit ‘walk to the castle and pick up a note’ quest, it’s a ‘walk 78 miles and pick up a note’ quest. I agree with Itsuno’s design philosophy that travel needs to be fun, but the destination needs to be fun too. You don’t go to a big dungeon or meet interesting characters or partake in awesome events, you pick up a fucking note. Dark Arisen 2 is a breath of fresh air that actually feels like an adventure. Like an actual video game with a story. In my opinion, the base game and Dark Arisen 2 should be separate titles. I still like DD2, but the DLC put a lot of things into perspective.
Has anyone tried to kill new sphinx?
wow
I've started a new save file but I can't come up with a cool idea to create my pawn.
>>749453249Nah
>>749453873Crazy how much like jack he is. Share his code
>>749453873>i hate dragons>i want to kill dragons>it's not just a desire, it's a need
>>749450861Sharted on...
>IntelLMAO
>give my pawn a little thicker thighs and a slightly increased ass>suddenly looks like a complete fat ass in any robe
>>749453920On certain aspects I'm not feeling that adventurous in Norgan, I just don't feel like I'll want to go through yet another NG+ if I were to mess something up.
>>749449063Crimson Desert mogs both>>749453249DD1 sure but not 2 imo.
>>749448597>everything is hard animation lockedThats a good thing, do you want melee FPS combat in which constant move back and fourth between swings?
How the fuck do you get to the Interminable Corridor lost right? I've been all over these goddam hills!
>>749446324The new Sphinx looks purple as hell and is a guardian here for 10000 years so its probably a different Sphinx
>>749450351>one playstyle fits only few classes instead all of them and forcing people to play differently depending on the class and role that they want to takeoh my god how dare them
I have shill fatigue
>>749453873I respect the strength of this pawn.

>>749454492Can you explain what makes you so mad about an amazing game you've never played?
>>749453873what a chad
>>749454574Be honest bros, does this chest piece make me look a tad ghey?
They programmed this fucker not to fall off ledges because he's a hyperactive cunt and he just clipped into this wall next to a cliff and all my pawns proceeded to kill themselves trying to get to him
>>749454589The whole game is cringekino.
>shits bombing on intel cpusomg its worse than borderlands 4
>>749454812works on mine tho
>>749454574
What worthless slant eyed nigger decided to have 20 different kinds of knockdown/stun animations that can endlessly chain into each other with no way to animation cancel?
>intelWho the fuck uses intel? lmao, everyone knows that the approved /v/ combo is AMD CPU and Nvidia card

>>749455176Did she brine herself with that jump in the last second?
>>749455268No but I cut it so it'd look like she did
>>749455176Both griffons there brined themselves hehehehehehe
Uoh?
>>749455176I'm surprised the pawn didn't also get brine'd
>>749455029Mate are you really surprised.
Wait what are the flames even for? I thought they were for vocation upgrades at the obelisks but I realized theres more trials than vocations.
I hate this cunt so much it's unreal. literally just ambushes me every 5 seconds. Fuck fimbis>>749447362Are you on easy, normal or hard? If you are on easy, I suppose so. Maybe on normal if you're using a Press X to win vocation and adept at it. No if you're playing on hard.
>level 20>hard mode>havent even finished brants first task yetoh im gonna overlevel to hell arent i
>>749455789Don't worry, no matter what level you're gonna get gaped in the DLC.
>>749455789Levels don't matter at all. You pretty much stop getting main stat increases after 60, and you'll be 100+ before you're even halfway through the DLC, and you will not notice a difference in damage as you level. Only gear matters.
how the fuck do i get to this trial? it's the lightweight one.
If I'm at the bit in the story where I need to dress up for a masquerade how much of the story do I have left? I feel like I've basically done nothing in the story but then DD1's main story if you ignored all the side shit was like 10-20 hours long. How did they copy the story of the first game beat for beat and somehow make it worse?
>>749455489There's 12 Trials and thus 12 flames, but you can only access 9 before the post-game, which lines up with the Obelisks>>749456064Cave in the Mire.
>>749456064Go northwest and there's a cave
you did save him, right?
>>749456108>MasqueradeThat's very early on, you've got plenty left. Still have the rest of the Disa plotline, Battahl, Agamen, the story quests after that and then Unmoored World.>How did they copy the story of the first game beat for beat and somehow make it worse?It's not even remotely close to that, please pay attention at least a little.
>>749456268>It's not even remotely close to that, please pay attention at least a little.Everything so far has been the exact same. There's a twist of self awareness too it that recontextualizes it to be a different spin on the story but that doesn't change the fact that it is basically telling the same story.
>>749456329It is only superficially similar. It has a similar set up of following a caravan to a big city and doing a bunch of quests for one political faction. Just look at the origins,>DD1 Arisen started in a peaceful village with a generic hero start of setting out from their hometown to save the world, this leads them to big city where they work for the Duke directly and things spiral from there>DD2 Arisen started as the Arisen and wound up in a slave mining camp where people control Pawns with magic stones that give temporary powers of an Arisen, eventually this leads them to city where there's a false arisen scheme they need to unravel and things spiral from thereEven without touching on the Pathfinder bits or the plot beyond the literal starting premise they're not the same.
>>749446037Did they fixed the heigh restrinctions?
>>749456596Yeah cool but that doesn't change what I said. Do you know what the word beats means in this context? You said it yourself it's following the same steps and DD2 does them worse than 1 did. If they were going to copy 1(copying them intentionally to hammer home the idea of the cycle is still copying) and just make it less fun or interesting then they shouldn't have bothered.
>>749454079
>>749456134The post game trials don't seem to have flames and the first one doesn't either there's only 8 unless I missed something
>>749456064Hope you have a spare hour for that dungeon
Hard mode like DDDA1 can be cheesed with gravity, rocks, barrels, ice traps, and explosive arrows.And if all fails, throw those fuckers in the river.
>>749456794I think the Trickster obelisk might not require a flame since it has two skills instead of one skill with an upgrade, but I haven't found it to confirm.
>>749446037if I do the ox cart thing to enter battahl early does it fuck up progression at all? I remember going to battahl fucked up a ton of side quests before, Im trying to get magic archer earlier
>>749451113The only "scaling" in the game is that after the coronation harder enemies are in the world.Which the first game did a similar thing.It has nothing to do with leveling.Enemies don't get stronger when you level.This is just schiophrenia
Is it possible to go back and enjoy DD1 now? Or is DD2 now so good that you can't go back?
>>749456682You're genuinely stupid, and completely unable to understand even a simple narrative.
>>749446037i love dis gam
>>749456884It feels the same but I'm spoiled for little to no loading zones
>get full moon slash>it outright feels worse than compass slashwhy the fuck does it have to do two
>>749456953Says the guy lacking in reading comprehension. I'm not criticizing the narrative. I'm criticizing the structure of it's events.
>>749456985doesn't it do like 8?
Whoever decided that bugaboo weapon throws always stagger you needs to kill himself immediately. In front of his mother.
>>749452985imo the final last Rites dungeons are scaled for Norgan gear, you don't NEED it but you have to fight a ton of shit with lots of HP
>>749457060>goblin throws torch>hits me>im near wall>i pingpong off the wall like i just got slapped by supermanmake it make sense>>749457043it changes from one spin slash to two
>>749457104>goblin throws stick>it has homing on par with Hitman suitcases>it staggers me>another one jumps on me>arisen needs 45 minutes to stand up because of bad knees>warg jump in and licks my face>instantly puts me to sleep>use a waking potion>still need another hour or so to stand up>another warg wakes up from his naps, trots over, and grabs me with his mouth>I haven't actually had control over my character since October 9th
>>749457019>I'm criticizing the structure of it's events.No, you're doing the equivalent of claiming a story is a boring rip-off because it starts with a "hero setting out on a quest" premise. It's a very simple concept, you have to actually show the thing you're subverting. So for the tutorial and set up section of the game they used similar plot beats but different events.
>>749457391Proving my point. Not even close to what I said.
You guys using any mods? Debating if I should jump back in, I had a lot of problems with the base game when I tried it years ago, principally due to enemy variety and how thin vocations were. It’s my understanding that with the new round of updates the second issue’s been kind of addressed but not the first.
>>749456884It absolutely is possible to go back to dd1. I restarted it recently and am trying to 100% it. Dd1 is really special. Its still leagues better than 2, although I enjoy them both.
what does Warfarer do worse than the main vocations other than the ults that are not always good anyways?Is it just the innate abilities and stat scaling?
>>749457303honestly i feel this way any time an ogre drop kick landslike okay i get that knocking me downwhy do i have to crawl a country mile before getting back upi do not understand just GET UP
>>749457561You Hella dizzy and need to be helped up.
Some anon said there was a hidden cave in a whiteout that has 30 level 3 relics hidden inside with a maze. I'm searching but no luck yet.
>>749457529The stat scaling, its a good class if youre high level and you like having a rotation of skills from different classes. Like I dont even take any extra spells for the second weapon mage, I just use the staff so I can be the healer and dont need a mage in the group, but you can feel that the casts are shit, you have less stamina and you noticeably do less damage.
Any Pawns on Official Monthly Rankings that are currently giving Ring of Endeavor besides Herbchad?
>>749457665I am using it right now to level it and using the Medusa bow for some extra levels before I head into the DLC as I finish shit up, but it's good to know it's not the "ultimate" class and has some limitations like that
Ok why should someone buy this expansion? Does it fix the enemy variability issue? Does it change the base game enough to justify a new journey?Challenge wise how is the game right now?No gay ass nigger shill answers or trannycord go.
I need riftbux plox for DD1...
awww shiit look who I just came across walking around Norgan, its that Geraldo fella.
>>749457529You can level up all the other unleveled vocations simultaneously with Warfarer while keeping the whatever weapon you want to use
>>749455648Absolutely kino fight and music. Loved every second of it.
>>749458002what's he got on his damn head manlooking like he's going to a Beach House concert mannnn
Can I sell all my crafting mats before I head to the DLC? I won't need them for the new gear, right?
The game unironically gets 10x more fun when you start playing it like an e3 showcase
>>749457867>Does it change the base game enough to justify a new journey?Not at all. It adds some dungeons to the base game, but you should pretty much only play it for the new area and just in on NG+ on hard mode.
>>749456884/v/ doesn't want you to know this but playing and enjoying multiple games is free
I'm putting together a "Games with AI Friends" set for November. So far it's looking like>DD:DA>Monster Hunter: Sunbreak>DD2:DAWhat are some good second tier picks? I vaguely recall Lost Planet games had some AI teammate stuff?
Is elven blacksmithing the way to go for element melee weapons?
>>749458198you should probably commit suicide.
>>749458187Sometimes the sequel makes it harder to enjoy the original. It's not rational, it's psychological.
>shieldless fighter>hindsight slash for main form of defense >get a mod that lets you block with just the sword>get a mod that removes job restrictions on armor>wear the really cool spear hand gearThe game is now way better
>>749458235In November?
>>749455648>Oh you are attacking this area? Yeah, I jump away and cast a spell, sucker!
>interminable corridor>it actually never fucking endsI was not prepared to do this, me and my pawn are half naked. And I dismissed the other two I hired cause they didn’t meet the requirements
>>749452576Thanks for the advice. Magic Cannon was definitely the damage source I was missing.
Can you get good lost rite weapons for other classes without needing to get godsbane? Or am I stuck with fighter, mage, and archer from the tutorial rite for 20 hours?
>>749457529The stat scaling barely makes a difference, if you don't care about the class ults then Warfarer is basically an upgrade since you can use any armor you want. Most classes have good ults though so that is a pretty big downside.
>>749458183I remember I finished the game and started a new game to see if something changed, then turned off when I saw it was more of Itsuno bullshit. How hard is to reach the DLC with this save?
>>749458198The later SAO games are the only series that really does AI companions well, everything else pales in comparison to the levels of team building you get from those games.
>>749458372You can't do any of them besides the first without the godsbane. The second one lets you do MOST of it, then blocks the last portion. The rest need it to even get in.
>>749447362I've started at 43 with Checkpoint town gear on normal. It's brutal before you get your first DLC item set, and stays challenging, but doable. There are much more useful consumables than in base, you get stacks of curatives to bruteforce if need be.
>Plenilune Slash>Tornadic StrikeYeah Fighter is fucking kino fuck Thief whoever it was on the dev team who decided to give Thief a bunch of lame ass fire moves needs to be fired
>>749458426Which one, fatal bullet?
I really like every tier 3 weapon skills I found so far
>>749458198I don't particularly like the games themselves but I remember the Code Vein and God Eater games have surprisingly good AI teammates.
>>749458426Oh neat. I'll check them out too.
Pawn ID: ZIHW4T3CEI1PLoaning out my lvl 120 warrior, you get one regen pot if you camp anywhere in norgan. She got a helmet with provocation aura and bolstered defense so she should be pretty good at holding aggro (roar and inspirit not included since the AI doesnt know how to use it properly without eating massive damage)
>>749458437ugh, time to attend dance party and stealth mission I guess
>>749458198Persona 3 original mode where you can't control your allies
>>749458339youre gonna LOVE the final bosswho is right after a water section that pawns LOVE to jump into and kill themselves in so you have to solo it most of the time
So bros did kinoshita deliver some kino again? did he actually had to fix the mess a second time?
Melee fun tier DLC edition>Fighter>Mystic>Warrior>>>Thief
>>749458398That's the best way to access it. Being in NG+ and being at Vernsworth means you can do it right away and you have the godsbane so you can access all the extra dungeons in the base game as well.
>>749458561>did he actually had to fix the mess a second time?How stupid are the shitskin monkeys that think 1 dungeon and no new mechanics "fixed" DD1?
What items do you like to give as gifts after using a pawn?>nut>rugged bone>counterfeit ferrystone if they suck
>>749456884I've already gotten maximum enjoyment out of DD1 so I can't really only enjoy it again if I lost my memory of it.>>749458198Toukiden 2 has AI so good, they will perfect parry and dodge enemy attacks and unleash their big attacks the instant the boss has a big enough opening to do it safely.
>>749458464The MMO simulator ones. Hollow Realisation is good too, but the AI teammates get absurd in Alicization Lycoris and it's sequel. You know the old meme of Pawns actively learning from your gameplay? That's actually true in AL. They let the player actually change and influence the AI flag behaviours ingame, so you can even teach them specific combos for individual situations and the timings for it all.
>>749458560Amazing… believe or not this is the kinda of bullshit I subscribe for in this games, anyways time to continue going through this
>>749458198You can get a lot mileage out of programmable companions in some CRPGs, like Dragon Age 1. It's still largely a party control game tho
>That Vengeful Slash upgrade on Fighter
>>749458687>fighter obelisk skill

>>749456809IM FUCKING LOST MAN I KEEP FINDING NEW ROUTES IF I WASNT A TRICKSTER I WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY FUCKED
>>749458959Just keep going down new routes and it eventually ends. Replays are gonna be fucked with the map all filled out, gonna run in circles
>>749458951Oh yeah that game. Didn't they re-release it or something?
so fighter is good in the DLC? I might dust it off as I head into it
>>749459021They released a expansion a few months ago that added more content
>>749459113Basically every move got roided, Fighter actually can do damage now
>>749459113it got most of the DLC vocation budget.
>>749459021DLC, same like Dark Arisen 2It's because they're releasing these games on Switch 2
>>749459113Everything is good in DLC when you play the vocation. On pawns some a lacking due to much more aggressive enemies.
Loving the dlc so far man really great stuff
How come there isn't a feature to request for your Pawn to use a specific skill? Like when you want to use the springboard to reach a high ledge the Pawn doesn't react to automatically. Their skills fit neatly into the same inputs yours use, so it could theoretically work if there was a way to select a specific Pawn.
>>749458443I'm on Normal lv 69 I just did the first trial when do you get the first DLC set?
>kill notGrigori>spoke with notSeneschal>have to fight notGrigori againwhat the fuck? I'm too tired to read through all the small talk and figure out what i have to doi'm going to sleep and will keep playing tomorrow.
>>749459345After sleeping on the inn when you start the dlc quest
Any pics of new fashion? Also any webms of skill upgrades?I'm interested but kinda disappointed that the new monsters essentially boil down to snow-thing
Tell me about your pawn hiring and firing practices.
Trickster is fun as fuck. 100% aggro uptime is incredibly exploitable. It kinda feels like cheating sometimes but I do not care. Best class.
>>749458364good to know, hope you have fun anon
did the DLC break all mods? Should I wait for all my shit to update?Fuck I wish fluffy would integrate with nexus a bit more, I hate needing to trawl for all the updated files every few weeks
>>749459568>women only>no fatties>final destinationI have only brined a single pawn but she deserved it for combining the thing I needed for a quest.it was my pawn I like logistician.
>>749459568Literally just>do they look interestingCan be silly, can be good looking, I dont even check the skills. Theres far too many female pawns for them to stand out so put some effort in if youre doing that.>>749459579Its actually fun with Warfarer when you can at least swap to a weapon. I use it for "pokemon" runs where I just sit back and let pawns try and beat things while I use Trickster skills to avoid detection and buff the pawns. When more people are in post game I intend to ask for people to share pawns and carry them till they either die or beat some bosses and get a reward.
>>749459339Additional Pawn Commands mod. Absolutely necessary.
>>749458625Usually hand out a Finder's Token.
>>749459823>did the DLC break all mods?not all mods, but I don't know specifically which are fucked and which aren't. >Should I wait for all my shit to update?I haven't heard of anyone getting fucked by it, just things not being wokring. The only one I would be concerned about is the one that redistributes loot.
>>749459284Yea, it’s a blast.
I thought the beastren mask would stop the guards from aggroing me in the desert city. this is bs. shoulda worked.
Is The Castle in the Ice the point of no return? It's where you follow toad girl to the ice wall. I still haven't explored most of the caves in the map, I need to know when to stop.
