I'm so fucking bored waiting for the DLC that I'm trying this "challenge", trying to make an attractive (you guys by the judges here) face with all the face types, 23 is easy modo as we all know but I'm surprised on the results I got with some other faces, I'll try more faces too.And I realized that skin type 11 seems to be the way to go, at least for Caucasian females.

Another interesting find that I really wish I'd known about sooner, you can adjust the size of the light source with the reframework freecam/photomode combo. Just a matter of tilting left stick or w/s on keyboard when freezing the camera.
>>582238873>steam>sebastian>lv.50something>warriorPawn id: VXP2QKYKT754Hes gone through the whole game and has the camping badges..boy, with the eternal ferrystone those are easy to grind out now. Should I restart another play so I can hire my own pawns in the dlc? Having all three saves with my own personal group i keep hiring would be fun most like. If I can handle it.
not even more than a day gone by and we're already on thread # dos???
>>582246356should also add that it doesn't work 100% of the time or quite how you'd expect but still neat
>>582246557i'd personally get burn out very quickly, replaying the game after 2 years, the QOL is great but I'm not seeing myself replaying a whole new save after a while, even with the dlc coming upbesides, while making a party with my own character is tempting, i'd rather hire /ddg/ pawn for variety sake and for the community aspect
>>582246356Woah thanks for the tip!
If the first charge of Forbeding Bolt was instant, how much stamina do you think it would need to cost?
>>582244013Thanks a lot. I just changed the quest. You will get 5 allheals.

>>582260670Aromatic Resurgence
I have just completed every side-quest on my new character and the balance of quests is all off. There's too many front-loaded (that if these wikis are correct go away once you enter Battahl?) and then barely any once you reach there, despite it being such an expansive region itself. I've had almost no reason to explore most of it. You can just finish too many before the story even sends you across the border.There's no little side-quests for the Elves to flesh them out a little bit, you just meet the twunk, save his sister, and then you get introduced to the dwarf in Battahl to save the tree. Done. Never see the twunk again. A little disappointing there, that entire area gives you very little reason to run around and explore.The Nameless Village could do with a little more use, it's the home of the Thief Vocation and they don't give you some kind of heist quest to do? They should have some beef with the false Sovran and ask you to steal something from the castle. Melve should have something to do after everyone leaves for Harve, it's obvious a lot of time is supposed to have passed, the village should be rebuilt or something but idk, get haunted because there's nobody living there any more. Harve is actually pretty good but I think when all the refugees arrive you should have to lead an expedition to get building materials or something to fix all the broken houses for the new arrivals.Checkpoint Rest Town, both sides, fine. Small, some things to do, quests that lead in and out.Battahl really could use a second settlement somewhere with things to do. Coral Snakes Hideout is pretty neat but like no reason to return there. Such an expansive area to only make use of once. I get the world is dangerous but they obviously can build into the rocks so there should be another small settlement that's like that. Volcano Island I am whatever on. You do stuff throughout the island and it's fairly linear and you're taken almost everywhere for quests.
>>582261245um that elf looks too young to be rented out..

>>582263098To understand itsuno's taste, you have to go wayyyyyy back to "bbs terminals" and "door games".Dragon's Dogma seems to be itsuno doing the equivalent of "hd reimaginings" of these really old games.this game to me, is the closest i can imagine being an exact origin point for the series direction as a whole, structure wise, especially dd2:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Red_DragonWhen Itsuno says later on that DD2 is the exact game he wanted to make, I think he is telling the truth entirely. These 80s door games are extremely barebones, you can get stronger, you can flirt, you can go exploring, you can get some hints by paying money. Hints do basically nothing except tell you if there's something worthwhile to explore to get. That's basically it. They are entirely text based and the npc dialogue is very pawn-esque. I can imagine someone from this era imagining DD2 in their head when playing.some Legend of Red Dragon gameplay:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EicKE4CkLzI

>>582264636knowing this everything makes a bit more sense lol
>>582265854yes it's a very neat detail i wish more people knew about
>>582245347Well, nyes.
so uh when does this fucker start moving, I've been waiting for like 5 minutesI know you can disguise yourself but I wanted to try the tailing him option, but he's just sitting there
Why does DD2 have such kino pits, but lacking in the ass department?
>>582269083I don't remember exactly because it's been a while since I did the quest but you may need to be closer to eavesdrop before it progresses?
See? We're not only surviving in /vg/ we are thriving!
>>582269231nah it was just one of those 'wait here with your dick out' things, it started moving like 10 seconds after I complained
>>582269087I'm not to sure about the pits situation but Japanese don't really seem to enjoy large butts that much so I guess it reflects there yet... The first game did have better butts, I'm not quite sure what happened.
Fairly eventful jaunt, lots of bosses including a bigclops but wasn't any trouble for them.
>>582270178whoever did it knew his anatomy
>>582265854>582267121To further drive home Anon's point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjNialN8y30This video's a good li'l documentary into how DD1 and DD2 were influenced by DnD shadows over Mystarra and among other neat games from capcom's past 30 year tenure.

>>582272451you're literally me frgreat minds cum alike
>>582272635Alright, why notBut I want ideas on how it's supposed to lookI used all my creative juices making 5 different pawns in 2 using the character manager thing>>582272713I'm playing it rn
Is that mod that allows you to create your own vocation updated?I really want to fix a bunch of animations I didn't like in fighter
Flink takes the checkpoint REST town very seriously
Fuck I regret not coming up with this when I was making my arisen
>>582274443is that supposed to look like someone in particular?
>>582274563No, it's just a generic (but kind of historical) medieval knight lookI went with a similar vibe but the one I'm currently using for my Arisen is notably inferior

>>582274693I see. I tried to make a scholarly looking arisen once but looking back it's just quasi-John Lennon.

>>582276712which one is yours?

>>582277117all time fave of mine
>>582247471>>582260596>>582247471>>582260596guys... the bolt......>>582273452If you mean skill maker then yeah, but by a different guy, and it's still partially broken for now. But if that's all you want to do it might suffice.Nick said he'll update skill creator soon, though when he'll write an actual tutorial for it is anyone's guess.
>>582277382I haven't played spearhand in 2 years buddy, can't help you.
>>582277382>But if that's all you want to do it might sufficeI pretty much just want to replace few animations, namely full moon slash that looks like dogshit and I've been forced to keep it at compass slash
What do the enemies do with all the explosive barrels they have lying around
>>582277916sniff whatever's inside to get high
>>582277636Do you want to replace the second slash or just limit it to one?
>>582278268Replace the second slash, preferably with something that doesn't make my character spin around like a ballerina
>>582278423Well you can't really change just the animation, but you can insert a different skill's attack instead. Anims are interpolated so it should look fine as long as it's not a mid-combo attack.Here's an example autoskill that replaces the second spin with the lv1 one.

>>582278518Loving his looks, he looks like he belongs.
>>582278940
>>582276761Holy moly sex with that pawn
>>582277382You're asking a dumb question about the bolt because it already has a stamina cost when hitting the charged state so if you're trying to make a mod that makes it instant then you would just make it cost that much
>>582278882I don't want him to spin in the second attack, maybe one of the moves from hindsight sweep would work? Or counter slashAlso hindsight slash looks fucking stupid I wish it was like the first game
>>582279186Wait until I give him one of these

Don't worry about it though.I hope you all have a very nice day.
>>582279336It doesn't, and even if it did, I would still want it to cost extra for not having to charge it in advance. The vanilla charge only pauses stamina regen, I'm pretty sure there isn't a core skill that directly consumes any.>>582279414The problem is that if you cancel the momentum of the first spin, the transition becomes pretty jarring. I didn't consider that. But maybe you could make something work.
>>582280323lul
>>582280423>It doesn'tI was so confident you were wrong I booted up the game and started shadowplay to prove it only to find it was I who was wrong and what I had been seeing was stamina drain from switching to the duospear with Rearmament just before charging the bolt. Gomen nasai...
>>582280423I'm fine with the first spin, it's actually not that ugly or ludicrous, it's the second one that gets meThe first game had the right idea and they botched it pretty hard in the secondBut still, you've proven to me that I can do it with a bit of elbow grease, so, thanks anon
>still no mod to give beastrens tailssuffering...
>>582280797Happens to the best of us.>>582280839This looks pretty good I think but might be too strong.Just to make it clear, I'm using the mod to call the skill because I can't be arsed to equip a sword, but if you make it automatic like this it will also intercept/override the vanilla one.

appropriate way of using Speregonne?Uncharged spam? Charge only until the flash? Charge as much stamina as possible?

has the game always been this bright
>>582281154>but if you make it automatic like this it will also intercept/override the vanilla oneI have no idea how this mod works, any tips or a brief tutorial? Or did you learn it by testing?>>582284124Maybe lol how bad is it?I'm disappointed a lot of animations seem worse than DDDA or DDON
>>582284356>forgot videohttps://youtu.be/N_MmciJWWDM
>>582284356You become an actual beyblade and it's the most kino shit ever
>>582284356>Or did you learn it by testing?A ridiculous amount of trial, error, and research. There's a barebones overview on the mod page though, and tooltips when you hover over stuff.Point is, an automatic SM skill just checks your current state and triggers if it hits a match (in this case FullMoonSlashLv2 you can see under Action States). No additional hotkeys needed, so if you want a custom skill to trigger off a vanilla attack/skill, you can just set it up like that and proceed to play the game normally.
>>582284571Where do I make it automatic?If I understand correctly it makes it so it detects the skill and replaces it instead of being attached to the hotkey, which is exactly what I want
I'm still living in the copium that there's a some sort of larger dungeon in Norgan (not the trials)
>>582285035You can see the checkbox at the top of each webm.And yes, basically.
>>582283942I'll vary how much charge depending on the enemy, but you don't want to go the whole way and drain your stamina.
>>582285351Yeah, I don't expect anything as large as BBI but it would be kinda lame if the castle is just a glorified boss arena

>>582290547Vernworth... home...
>>582252065x1.05 to the vocation's level up stat modifiers.Meaning if the vocation has x1.3 mod on a stat (like Fighter's strength) and the level up gives +6, you'd normally get 7.8->7, but with the x1.35 it's 8.1->8.If you're a Warrior with a x0.6 to magick, the x0.65 isn't really going to help. But you are getting an extra point of HP if the level up gives +20.That's how I understood it.
>>582267801It seems you're just trying to make the same face throughout all presets. They share the same facial shape and nose, lips mostly look identical, and the eyes are similar as well though not as much. In fact the biggest difference between them is the hairstyle. Not saying they're all bad, but you could do better. It seems to me your idea of "attractive" is anime waifu's. I could be wrong, and I'm not telling you to stop, I would just like to see more diversity amongst them. The actual definition of diversity, not the jewish one being niggers and mutts.
>>582298525It doesn't make any sense to me because I don't know if it means if you don't have this active and level up multiple times are you gimping your stats like you could in DD1? Or is it retroactive since the stats change when you change vocation anyway?
>>582282937A fine choice, Arisen!just don't tell Zhalia about this
>>582300640What it means that it's at best +1 to your main stat every now and then, but you'll hit those caps pretty fast anyway.What it means is that it's still best to change vocations for 10-20 levels if you want to raise a stat.And essentially that it's best to start with a Fighter/Warrior for... well any other class for HP and Defense, or Archer for a Warrior/Fighter for Stamina.
>>582302050>any other class>classDon't take me to the penis explosion chamber, I meant vocation. It's not my fault, I was just on a walk and was exhausted.
uhh, I thought stat minmaxing is gone in dd2?
>>582243549i gave 10 a go, reckon it turned out alright considering the jowlsi like the dlc hairs
>>582283287I do it for the Arisen too... I'm a simple man.

>>582306107she looks like she will ask to talk to the manager at any moment
Pretty neat they have the same armor in DD1 and 2. Worried I won't be able to hire the pawns I had from 2013 in another playthrough.

>>582307935Dark elf eh? Very nice.
>>582305551It's been made worse actually, if you want high/max stats relatively early. The plus side is that you will still reach max stats at some level... eventuallyBut it's not like your caster generally really gets attacked, so it doesn't matter. And probably has better physical defense and HP than in 1 anyway.
>>582308948ty anon, really enjoyed how she came out. Those battahli skin dyes helped a lot.

Alright just finished dragon forging every piece of gear in dd1, I'm not touching anything dogma until dlc is out.

>>582322972Maybe next year.>>582323138Considering I only upgraded each piece to 1 star before starting, a lot.
I'm still not sold on the DLC. I rarely play modern games and I usually pirate. But I got the base game gifted to me by some anon, so I dunno, maybe I should...
>>582323423As a pirate you should know you can just pirate the DLC on your basegame with CreamAPI or equivalent (Koalageddon, smokeapi, whatever).

For those of you with powerful rigs, are you happy with the performance update or did it ruin anything? I've heard complaints about pop in
I haven’t played in two years. So besides the dark arisen update, has there been any noticeable changes since then? Or is it just bug fixes?
>>582366406It's much better. No more random frame drops (for me I always had powerpoint show in near volcanic base camp, at waterfall near nameless village and the waterfall near the cave where you get the warrior and sorcerer weapons). But still microstutters when going up to the fort at ancient battlefield and going up the stairs inside vernmorth castle. Pop in hasn't changed at all. Npcs and the dragon at the harve village still pop in as usual.
>>582367612big changes and you can have six abilities now instead of 4
>>582367612Too many to list but mostly:- two additional skill slots- eternal ferrystone- portcrystals in Bakbattahl, Checkpoint Rest Town and Volcanic Isle Encampment- oxcart stopovers- dragonsplague cure- corrupted chimera quest
>>582366406I had 3 sorcs with me . 2 who casted meteoron and the other casted maelstrom. It was also raining. I only dropped to 57fps when the screen was full of explosions and the tornado. I always had pop-in, so it doesn't bother me. I am also finally getting 55-60 fps in Vernworth, which is nice. I am only seeing good things from the performance update.
>>582340050When the newest Street Fighter game dropped and I saw some of the muscles (and their jiggle physics) you could make it made me so hype for the DD2 character creator. . .
>>582356539Cute smileMy pawn looks like such a dweeb when he smiles.The blushing makes it worse.
>>582368145>portcrystals in places you can take an oxcartThe stopovers are a great addition to the oxcart system. Didn't realize that they, and the two additional skillslots, weren't in base game.

People seem to dunk on archer pawns a lot but I've hired one with just Deathly Arrow + special arrow skills (haven't actually given her any) and she's actually doing a lot of work.The 'increased pawn aggression' slider in Custom Difficulty Tweaks setting probably helps archers more than any other vocation I guess, they just fucking non-stop rail the enemy. I've noticed Warrior spends a shitload of time swinging at nothing (not just missing an enemy, but throwing out attacks when they're like 20ft away for some reason), they do the same with base aggression but increased aggression it's really notable.Fighter pawns seem to be the odd one out now, i really don't see why you would ever bring one in literally any circumstance. Warrior is better as an aggro magnet/knockdown merchant, mage is mage and sorc/archer/thief all pump harder.
>>582387578That's pretty much just from selling duplicate gear from about 4 playthroughs, and I've yet to sell these.
>>582388686I never had issues with archer pawns, in fact I think they pump out loads of damageI have seen pawns straight up rape some bosses with deathly arrowI think fighter pawns are decent, it's mage pawns that I honestly am starting to value less and lessmostly because people never slot in all the good skills for mages and a bunch still have only 4 skills slotted. Tempted to change my own pawn from thief to mage but I feel like she'd actually get hired less
>>582238873PCGoblina29SorcererQ7LV87XPP56KVGonna make her a support mage again later though.Starting a fresh playthrough in preparation for the DLC, didn't want to go in too high level.
>>582389530mage is invaluable for the heal if you refuse to abuse consumables/use a mod to dramatically nerf them.I wish there was just an animation commitment to healing (like drinking an estus) the instant burst heals are just so cringe.
>>582390040I wish there were more vocations with heals other than mage since because of this it feels like you NEED a mage all the time I'm surprised trickster doesn't have a heal either, seeing as it is supportDD1 had this issue too though
>>582382101nice DSLs
>>582389530>mostly because people never slot in all the good skills for mages and a bunch still have only 4 skills slottedif they are slotted decently, huge chunk of them have that maester skill which makes them useless.
I only need pawns to heal and be a distraction so I can spam spin2win
>>582391983Celestial paean? Why's that not good?
>>582392539they spam it instead normal healing so they are constantly out of stamina making them useless in and out of combat
was it part of itsuno's vision to give meister skills that are completely unusable on pawns
>>582393424>was it part of itsuno's vision to give meister skills that are completely unusable on pawnsyes
i get why the Warfarer 'meister' skill is given when it is but why the fuck do you get given the meister skill for magick archer the instant you unlock it
>>582394060>nope. not gettin' outta this chair
>>582394271The MA NPC being where she is, there might have been another quest for it that they had to cut.
>>582393367>>582391983Celestial Paean generally is really good, infinite stamina is very goodI have not had issues with pawns that have Celestial Paean. They still heal when needed, cast celerity, halidom, use solemnity on spellcasting enemies
>>582261245oops celia didn't have high solemnity slotted, now she should be more useful against drakes etc.
>>582396098So shiny.
>>582396160it seems the rain wasn't abated
>>582395426This has been my experience too and as a Speregonne enjoyer I will just not hire pawns without it. Its mandatory.
>>582395426it's good then that it's been working for you. for me mages with that skill are constantly out of stamina. I have to say that my straightforward thief pawn also has issues if i give it more than three skills, it becomes more stupid when it has more options. i'm thinking removing the rope skill since i have archer in my team at the moment.
so, smithing>elven smithing for staves to pump up sheer magic damage>dwarven for everything else because it's basically vermundian but it has stupid knockdownam I wrong or is this correct
>>582400742let someone else chime in but from what i've seen anything magik is one eleven two dwarvendwarven smithing was a mistake
y-you too
>>582400926I've never done this I just do full elven on staves and magick bows, Vermundian on duospear (which is probably not meta but feels thematically correct) and Dwarven on everything else.But yes Dwarven is fucking stupid, it literally doubles knockdown while Battahli is like a 50 point damage boost.
>>582400742It's what I do at least.
>>582401856i genuinely wonder how the reception of the game's difficulty would be if dwarven smithing didn't exist
>>582400926>>582401856>>582401914thanks, guess I'll just fuck around. dwarven does feel sillyentirely separate question, do some core skills carry over between vocations? I swear I just did thiefs controlled fall as mage, idk if that's default or a feature of udd2p or something
>>582402392unmodded, the difficulty collapses before most people even come across dwarven smithing style
>>582402392In fairness I don't think it would make that huge a difference, what I will say is if they were to change it now to make the styles more equal no doubt the current playerbase would piss and shit and cry and complain that they need this and it's "Quality of Life" to not have to consider more than 1 smithing option.
Is there a single thing Fighter pawns do better than Warrior pawns? Besides looking cooler. Feels like the only thing that salvages the vocation is being able to Vengeful Slash 80 times in a row but pawns don't use it well.
>>582401790>my boy being a weirdo in the backgroundsaved!
>>582402708Riotous fury is good, and if you set them up with the shield drum and the ring that boosts aggro they're better tanks.
>>582403036>they're better tanksin literally what wayWarrior has innately much higher knockdown resist, can wear the same ring, Roar is equivalent to shield drum and they can actually knock the boss over themself compared to fighter just vibing at large monster's legs.Riotous -is- good on the 2 times per 10 hours they actually use it on a large monsters head after it's been toppled and they're not out of stamina from already using it to deal 10 damage to the legs.
>>582403368they have a shield though uwuNo you're right I don't really knowThat said I'm running 2 warriors in unmoored world right now and they're great against most things but struggle with the skeletons and their little rolling headsSo fighters are better atkilling lots and lots of skeletons?
I get worse choice paralysis with 6 skill slots than I did with 4. At least then I knew I was restricted, but now when most vocation have around 6-7 usable skills, when it comes to deciding which of the last skill I want I actually have the biggest mental boom.
>>582403751In honesty giving all classes 6 skill slots was cowtowing to retards that don't understand game design. Having 4 slots was purposeful in that you had to put some thought into your kit instead of just picking everything, and meant that there was a purpose to hiring pawns running the same class as you as you could split the kit between 2 characters. Frankly this change was mostly just requested by people that didn't understand that the slots you lost from DD1 were made up for by base additions to kits such as Fighter getting Tusk Toss as a core skill.Additionally, the class that actually needed it the most (Warfarer) benefits the least as they still need to assign a slot to Rearmament. I really think they should have left it at 4 slots, except Warfarer which should have been given the 2 additional slots. It's the "hero class" and that would be reflected with this change but with this and transmog it will be a lot less of a special final unlock vocation and just kind of mid at everything.I know I'm an exception here but I honestly can't stand this shit in modern gaming, where I buy and play a game and I like it and think it's fine but then things start retroactively getting changed which I DON'T like AFTER I've already paid for the damn thing. Not that these sorts of things would really ever stop me buying in, it just frustrates me somewhat knowing that games are now being made around players bitching and not the design envisioned by the director.
>>582402952going to hire him sometime soon
>>582404260the game is so much more fun to play with 6 skills, for every vocation. Never post again with such an awful opinion.
>>582404592Fun is a meaningless buzzword.
>>582404260the design envisioned by the director was shit and needs to be corrected.
>thank you for including me in these moments, arisen. You make me feel as welcome as my own master.B-but main pawn-chan, I AM your own master....
>>582384093Is that leg armor a mod
holy fuck okay welcome aboard
>it was shit>it's more funNon-arguments. The game was objectively better designed before the appeasement patches.You know who we also tried to appease? Hitler. You people are literally WORSE than Hitler.
>>582405182anon you can't be doing this until the dlc comes out, find something else to play or entertain yourself in the meantime.
>>58240518210/10 post, this is what I come to the site for.
So what are some good skills for a mage pawn?
>>582405321You morons wanted to move to /vg/ so I need to keep the thread alive somehow.Anyway I'm not entirely trolling, I do believe in the essence of what I'm saying but I'm self aware enough to understand why others wouldn't agree.>>582405363Thanks, I like to think I keep the soul of 4chan alive with these kinds of posts.>>582405369Celestial Peen and I personally like Frigor and Levin on mages to synergise with Sorcerers.
Why does DD1 story work and DD2s not?Nostalgia? Because ive watched all the retrospectives about how dd2s story is actually pretty deep, bro but Im still not feeling it, while dd1 made me feel it as soon as the dragon was on screen.
>>582405369solemnity and ice affinity is good to have at least later in game methinks, celerity is fun if the pawn AI doesn't sperg too much
>>582405715dd1 I think just had more memorable cast (and the dragon gauntlet was sick), dd2 npcs are just bland and not even funny in a bad way. I love unmoored world shit though and the whole title drop.
>>582405369You should give them Levin at least so they can do something offensively. It definitely helps. If you are late game and fighting a lot of undead, Empyrean or whatever it's called just one shots them so it's worth having on.
>pawns 'boost' they can give you while they're climbing will let you get a guaranteed finisher if you use one midairwhat the fuck, this is actually goodDoes fighter/warrior launch do the same?
>>582405929>>582405929nvm I can't read..
>>582405715I couldn't tell you because I really like both, and I actually enjoy the direction of 2's story after 3 playthroughs. I love the whole "play" idea and how we do weird and seemingly nonsensical stuff simply because it is ordained to us and the games true ending is subverting not only it's own story but the entire concept of the series.And yes, the title drop and Seafloor Shrine reveal were some of the greatest moments of all time for me in gaming although obviously part of that is because I adore the first game so much. I really hope the DLC doesn't fuck that up by just replacing the main menu entirely. When I first beat the game and went back to the menu and it started to play Eternal Return I cried a little unironically but I do that a lot so maybe that was just a me thing.
>>582405715I feel like dd2 requires you to have played 1. I'm fairly invested but I also have the entirety of 1 in my head, I got half spoiled on it being an actual sequel ages ago even if I'm still not seeing how, I assume that clears up in UW, so for now its working for mebut if I were a new player I probably wouldn't be invested at all. I feel like alot of really basic shit hasn't been touched on, even in the basic way 1 did before things really started to pop off, if I wasn't filling in the blanks then idk I probably wouldn't give careI've probably also got rose tinted glasses on now that I think about it, I haven't played 1 since my 360 days so for all I know it also doesn't explain much and I'm just remembering the whole completed picture
:shitmypants:
>>582405715Because the things you do are logical in 1, we do Y because X just happened or we need to get to Z.Past Vermund, the things you do in 2 only make sense to the Pathfinder.
>>582405159If you don't have all heals as a reward then I'm not hiring you.
>>582405159not hiring cheaterpawns.
>>582409704>do a /ddg/ pawn quest for 5 allheals or whatever>put the allheals on your pawn quest next timehuh?
playing the first game, just killed the cyclops. I was told this was a lot like monhun but I'm not really seeing it. Also picking Mage wasnt a great idea
>>582409704>>582409892Yeah, a lot of ddg pawns give allheal rewards it's a little internal economy we have going on.Not cheating.
>>582409892so you hired a cheaterpawn and then made your pawn a cheaterpawn? great work!
>>582405715You are just low IQ mate.
>>582409952>a lot like monhunanon..>picking mage as your first character anon.....not that there's something wrong with mage, but melee classes make the game feel significantly better in early stages imo, with scaling monsters and shieet
>>582409952>killed the cyclopsYou haven't started the game yet>monhunlol>MageYou fucked up your character already
>>582405715https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8R-su3rhIoDD1 is about power levels. It's battleshonen-esque "OH? YOU'RE APPROACHING ME?" all the way through.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbVKjeu9Dd0DD2 is about leadership and passing the torch. What? You wanted more than that? Why? There's no point.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvEkcseJlA4"Junior you dare? You are courting death!" and then arisen does arisen stuff.
>>582410168Alright then when does the game start, smart guy?
>>582410236>Fake out clops>Fake out 2>Oxcart>Fake out 3You have now started the game
>>582409892>>582410047Not only that, I usually gift back whatever item was the quest reward. Allheal and Jasper printing.
>>582409952>>582410168ignore this anon, just fuck around and find out. level up vocations and find what you like
died pretty much as soon as my pawn said the soldiers were coming to help. didn't expect to get the quick kill achievement while I was fucking around on mage, but high levin did the job
reposting cute leaf eaters
Any idea what she's pointing at fellow Arisi-bros?At the Griffin Nest near the spooky swamp>>582404541Arigatou, anon-sama
>>582410123also wanted to add that the monhun thing people say usually comes from the big monsters which drop upgrade materials and perhaps the game having no lock-on and a bit more methodical combat than your average action game. That's where the similarities kinda end. I fucking love monhan (even nu-mh, sunbreak was incredible) and dogma, but they scratch a completely different itch
>>582410590I destroyed all the stakes I could see and couldn't find anything else to hit (was playing magick archer and it wasn't finding any targets no matter what I did) and it did just keep going until it got to the point where the soldiers come and died without them doing anything.very weird, I was climbing all over it, running around on the floor (jumped off from his head at one point and just wakestoned) trying to find what I had to hit. Not my favorite boss, I'll tell you that.
Regardless of whether you think they -should- get one, do you think Magick Archer/Archer will end up getting some kind of mobility option/skill in the dlc?
>>582411181Just ask her
>>582411757Archer just needs to be able to animation cancel into the kick and it would be the best class in the game. There's probably some tech they think you should be doing with magick archer but fuck if I know what it is I just run around pressing buttons
>>582411181>what she's pointing atwhy, my peanus weenus of course :)
>>582408876>Because the things you do are logical in 1, we do Y because X just happened or we need to get to Z.I dunno man, in 1 you're challenged by the dragon and for no real reason at all just start doing missions for the Duke until eventually the Dragon just shows up and then you drop all that to go fight him. Nothing that happens between becoming Arisen and the dragon appearing at the end of Deny Salvation has any relevance to the plot of the game really. Not to defend 2's equally nonsensical plot but at least the dragon is actually summoned and that's why he shows up to fight you.
>>582412186He's not really summoned though. He clearly chooses to be there in some way, he even comes prepared with your beloved. He's always meant to be there at that moment to offer you the deal. Like some anon said earlier, you are in a stageplay being orchestrated by The Watcher, everyone in the story is an actor who is appearing at the right time to do their part.
>>582405182>You know who we also tried to appease? Hitler. You people are literally WORSE than Hitler.I don't know if you steins gated yourself but in this timeline that insult becomes less and less effective with each passing day i.e palestine
>>582412186IIRC, doesn't the duke send you on those missions in hopes you'll get killed so you wouldn't ruin the current status quo?
>>582412359Nonetheless, Phaesus summons a lesser dragon then the real dragon shows up to put him in his place. It's not a far cry from whatshisface the cult leader does in 1 but at least Phaesus has the mcguffin.>>582412369That doesn't explain why we, the Arisen, have decided to even give one iota of a shit what the Duke wants us to do in the first place. We're here to slay the dragon and retrieve our heart, not be errandboy for some nobleman.
will my pawn shut the fuck up about the dragon aids cure if I craft the damn thing?
>>582412530Well, you, the arisen, do it to gain influence with the realm at large so you can finally enter the court. You're supposed to be the people's champ, no better way than doing those errands and making the capital feel safe for the citizens and nobles.
>>582405715>Why does DD1 story work and DD2s not?for one the english voice actors in dd1 are infinitely better, but have you seen western voice actors nowadays?
>>582412717mine only ever mentioned it once and I never crafted the thing
>>582412731>so you can finally enter the courtBut... why? This is of no consequence whatsoever. Our one and only goal is to grow strong enough to fight the dragon. No part of the specific journey we took to get there had any relevance to that other than it happening to take us to see a couple of former Arisen.
>>582412974Because you need the Duke's backing and military resources, anon. Ontop of being granted to officially hunt the Wyrm. You and the realm at large know the Duke's a former arisen who "supposedly" slain his dragon. Who better to ally with and learn from than the Duke?
>>582412186>no real reason at all just start doing missions for the DukeWyrmhunt is quests related to the Arisen's identity and mission, and defending the duchy's people from the rise in monster population. At the start you're also proving that you in fact are the Arisen. You're growing strong to fight the Dragon, who previously slapped you dead and told to get stronger. A dragon who's whereabouts you do not know, he only appears when you're ready.Duke Edmun isn't "some noble", he's the previous arisen. You have played the game, right?Supposedly you also gain access to all the roads and assistance from the knights, but that's not really in the final game.>>582412369There's maybe one or two of those, but that's it.

On note of DD1, I just wish some aughtist or Kinoshita went back and patched the capes/cloths to flow above 30 and 60 fps. So darn stiff.

rewatching the recent dd2da trailer, i think we're unironically either going back to gransys or we're going to fight pathfinder in the dlc. i think the undead dragon is the dd1 grigori and i think the scene with arisen slicing the portal has the same riff from dd1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKr9zwS41Mshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTwCpHf_cQM compare 1:22
>>582415147>>582415458I like this one I took of my original playthrough, feels like a screenshot from some kind of black comedy where the main characters come across a dead body
jumping back into this game. happy to see the general alive. any must have mods? I don't need overhauls
>>582410824They will suck on some meat alright, once im hiring them
>>582405715To be entirely honest, half the things that are supposed to be great about DD1 I found largely unremarkable when I initially played it without participating in any discussion until later. I just liked the pawns, the combat, and the adventure feel, but that was quite enough to make it a classic in my book.
>>582415525What makes you say that Grigori's back? Do we know what happens to the dragon's soul when the arisen defeats it? I just assumed they get removed from the cycle like a seneschal does with the Godsbane. I think the undead dragon is jsut some dragon of the watcher's that rebelled/failed, with some connection to the undead guy with the hearts.
Spoiler tags even if it's just speculating
>>582415525Fighting the pathfinder is definitely out of the question since we know the dlc is its own self contained story. As for the music, this series does make surprisingly good use of leitmotifs so it might be something, but it could also just be a fun little easter egg for true aughtists.
Will the story of dark arisen 2 be good
>2 weeksWhat the fuck am i supposed to do till then
>>582417304I think so. Easier to write something compelling when it's smaller and more contained, and I think the higher-ups have written off the game so they don't give enough of a shit to force it out pre-maturely.

>>582420729They're probably the most interesting enemy in the game, it's weird they don't have a pawn badge.
>>582405715DD2's story is literally and unironically giga unfinished, the game's script and quests basically "King Crimsons" to Unmoored World once you reach Kitty Africa. Reason why Kitty Africa lore, NPCs and quests are so barebones and cut.We've already discussed how the main culprit for this is MH: Wilds being a complete mess and needing DD2's team for help + Crapcom wanting an early 2025 release for Wilds at all costs.Itsuno got dev time/resource cucked.

Its funny because if you miss some quests (and its really easy) you can miss entire fucking interactions and/or characters. Sometimes its for the best too.

So from the info we got they might pull the eternal ferrystone out from hard mode.Err based ?
>>582442042big if true..
>>582442042I'll mod it back in...
>>582442042What info?
>>582442042Eternal ferrystone is nice but I'd prefer if regular ferrystones were very availableNot having the eternal one is good because it forces you to plan your journeysHaving it is good because it allows the game to stay fresh and not get repetitiveHaving regular ferrystones be abundant enough that you can gather a number of them for the late game is the best of both worlds
>>582433492>>582434849same
>>582443472To be fair I only used the Eternal this run and so I hoarded, and never bought from a shop, Ferrystones and I have over 40 at the start of the post-game, and I definitely did not use my ferrystone that much.I think unless they cut gold income you'll never really have a problem being able to just buy the ferrystones you need, but if they cut gold income enough then gearing will feel like shit past Battahl.
>>582443472>Having regular ferrystones be abundant enough that you can gather a number of them for the late game is the best of both worldsThat is literally how the game was at launch you basically get unlimited stones in UW and the game expects you to do at least 2 runs
>>582440229Kino
hey guysdogma ballshaha
If they add better (per their region) AND randomized loot in the lost rites dungeons + a good balance for the hard mode scaling this is gonna elevate this game a lot. I always hate the idea that you're wasting money buying venworth gear when you can just fast travel to rest town or rush to volcano gear
I started a new save, but now I'm attached to my both pawnrisens, and I can't decide which one to play the DLC with on my first run AAAAAAAAA

evening /ddg/, just letting you know our team is playing in a "real games" divegrass invitational.

>>582450746Ok ok, thanks for the answer.
>>582450746Oh and related to that, the Switch 2 version will use framegen to hit 60fps. That's where the "performance" comes from. Yeah...>>582450904Oh shit.
>>582450746Huh? I assume you need latest drivers then, didn't show up for me when I last checked
If Norgan is completely separate, how will that affect the Unmoored World you suppose? Either you can rest in Norgan and break Unmoored World or you can't rest which makes the DLC unapproachable at the time.Some of the added dungeons will be in the Unmoored World though, so the pacing might be thrown off either way.
>>582451605From what I gathered once you get into Unmoored World you simply cannot go to Norgan. I believe most people's plans once the DLC hits is to do the challenge dungeons first (including the Unmoored World ones), then start a new game and skip to Vernworth so they can start the DLC.

>>582450746It didn't exactly add FSR 4, not natively. For whatever reason they're not using the new DLLs, so you still have to override it with Proton arguments, optiscaler, or AMD adrenaline. IIRC it's still running 3.1

Do we have confirmation that hard mode will be able to be switched up to at any point in a play-through?
>>582454690You can switch to Hard Mode at any point in your playthrough. However if you want to go back to Normal you need to wait until you start a new cycle.

We are so back
We're back
>>582450904hot artwork
>>582443472This was the vision I bet, no oxcarts in UW and lots of ferrystones to travel around, backtracking to the 12 lost rites to unlock the final doors with the godsbane, and the last three trials which are exclusive to UW. I'm excited for Norgan, but I'm really happy that they're fixing the end game. And then we're getting another end game in Norgan to keep us blasting
So the lost rites will be DD2's Everfall? Kind of?
>>582456681Based, I did it the hard way too, pure SOVL.>>582456928>>582463581YDNBTG
>>582453880Honestly, the capes/mantles were worse in DD1. The higher your fps, the stiffer they'd get. Past 60 they're just frozen.
>>582475247No, 9 of them are accessible before you enter UW, but (SPOILERS even if this was from the official Capcom channels)from what they showed there is a door at the end of the first dungeon that you can only open with the godsbane so the assumption is you might end up revisiting them in UW. But only the last 3 are UW exclusive
>received 40 wyrmslife crystals as a giftincredible, thanks
Wait, its the dlc area going to be available in the UW or have an UW version? Are they going to get rid of the rest limit for UW?
allegedly DLC patch is 4.0, we're currently on 3.2
>>582477759They haven't said anything about it, unlikely it's part of unmoored.
DD2 reminds me of Ys series. DD1 reminds me of PSO. DDON is just unique, like MHFZ but fantasy.
them repurposing those swinging rocks from the thief cave into BURNING swinging rocks for the magma rite dungeon in the trailer is really funny
>>582480395I smiled, made me think of Darksiders for some reason.
if you were to rebalance the Eternal Ferrystone without removing it from the game, how would you approach it? i've been testing out a mod where it needs to be charged before it can be used again. for now i've been playing around with a timed recharge, 1 hour, which dissuades me from using it for short teleports but still allows me to use it to go from one end of the map from the other. the problem is i've not once considered using a regular ferrystone (then again i pretty much never used them before outside of these large distance hops).i've considered either spending items or gold/RC to recharge it, but haven't landed on something that feels like an appropriate exchange for the ability of fast traveling once. another option i thought about was making it rechargeable at specific locations in the world like the Pawn Guilds.
>>582481176Just make Brant only give it to you in NG+ and NG in easy mode only.
>>582481176just make it use gold equal to buying a normal ferrystone.
>>582481176It should absolutely be in the game, just not as something you get right away. Just have it be an unmissable item that you get towards the end of a normal play-through, with the ability to sell/discard it if you want. If sold/discarded, it could be bought back from that one black market guy. Not really sure why Capcom doesn't understand how to handle an item this basic. Some Dark Souls games do this with having homeward bones and then giving you an infinite use item towards the end. It's that easy.
>does nothing
>>582481479i'll admit that i wasn't even thinking of NG, i was working under the assumption of balancing it in NG+>>582481568i guess that works, even if a bit boring. since ferrystones are cheaper now the Eternal one would cost the original price, but with the benefit of being able to be used anywhere>>582481901yeah, you can't even store it. i wanted to add a weight penalty to it but then i'd have to make it be able to be stored first. there's a mod out there that allows you to discard it but apparently it respawns in your inventory after a while, haven't tried it out.
>>582481176Can only be used from PC to PC, not at any time.But nah ideally just remove it. Maybe like >>582481479 but in Hard mode it's gone. If you come back to Normal/Easy it's re-added again.
>>582482279It has a huge auto-fire radius.>>582482575>since ferrystones are cheaper now the Eternal one would cost the original price, but with the benefit of being able to be used anywhereI mean if it's a mod you can probably just replace it with an actual ferrystone and thus remove it from the game.
>>582482783there's already a mod for removing it from your inventory, so i wanted to approach it from the perspective of balancing it instead
>>582399258I've basically never had that issuemy thief pawn is calm and spams the fuck out of the best skills at the best times
>>582481176I mean you only get it in NG+ right?That's balanced in my opinion
>>582483673do people really have such negative restraint that they have to use a mod to remove the item from the game so they don't use it?I guess traveling via the map defaults to the eternal stone though
>>582484036if people had the option to put it in the storage, they wouldn't complain as loudly as they've been.

>I only recently discovered elemental buff spellbooksif only they were craftable...
>>582504081Have you tried copying them at the counterfeiter? Some items don't have a fake version so he just gives you a dupe.
>>582503495what
I miss my DD1 pawn.DD2 pawns look technically better but they lack the same charm. Using 3d head scans was a huge fucking mistake.
>>582505028DD2 has better graphical fidelity but DD1's armor and models just look far better. Armor that actually fits on your character instead of just floating on them and doesn't contort and morph. An armor system that enables personal expression and style, etc.IMO if they don't revert the armor system change from DD2 don't even bother making DD3.
>>582504308Yeah, spellbooks give fakes.
am I the only one who's never used a spellbook, or even felt the need? Like is it worth the extra weight to carry a consumable that casts a spell just once?
>>582505313Dark arisen fixes this.
Love the parry animations in 2 but I can't seem to time them at all compared to DD1.
>>582507170Solemnity books are the only worthwhile uses in a non-modded playthrough.With difficulty mods you can get a lot of use out of them for things like undead/slimes and still solemnity. Carrying around a shitload of Anodyne books is also the only way to play with pawns without a mage or magick archer in the party without constant chain rezzing.
>>582508165carrying anodyne/solemnity books as a fighter makes a neat cleric roleplay. Too bad using them from the menu is clunky as always.
Allan, we are SO FUCKED.

Thank you to whomever suggested the Abandoned Mineshaft for a Minotaur kill, finally managed to complete Raccoon'd's quest!It was so typical that right before I hired her on my previous outing I killed literally 3 minotaurs and none seemed to respawn. Sending someone back without a quest completion always feels rotten.Think I just need to do my final lesser dragons and move out of UW so I stop pozzing everyone. I'd been holding off to see if anyone had quests set for the badge but doesn't seem to be many that need it still. It was silly to make a badge that needs 20 kills for an enemy that only appears like 6 times per run.
>>582307140She raccoon'd into roadkill sorry
>>582510137This girl was really well done. Props to whoever made her
Love how the lesser dragons can just 1 shot your pawn down to 10% loss gauge with their bullshit acid attack.

>Wake up in Vernworth, hear wing flaps>"Master, I know an area of interest in the vicinity..."
>>582508947holy shit thanks
>>582502832Damn that was too long listening to a tranny rambling just to come away with "the pawn personality choices are complicated".
>>582502832what a fucking waste of time this video is>the pawn inclinations matter because of code in the game that makes the different inclinations prioritize different thingsthat's it, that's the entire video. Blatantly obvious shit.There should at least be some concrete info like 'calm archer pawns on average stay ~30% further away from enemies during combat' to justify this video's existence but there's actually nothing of value in it.
Man they really messed up the pathfinding to make this thing run on the Switch didn't they. Not sure it was worth it.>>582512095You don't have to be cruel like that.>>582512309This is better criticism and kind of how I felt, but honestly I've always kind of liked the fact that some of the systems in Dogma Balls are weird and esoteric without any real specific data. Honestly though I think most people choose based on the voice they like most.
>>582512437I dunno how it was before, but pawn pathfinding feels fine to me, they generally get where they need to be(even if the game cheats and teleports them behind you sometimes)now normal npcs, those have shit pathfinding. I am never ever doing another escort quest
>>582512590npc followers seem to follow the exact same path that pawns do in my experience.I've since downloaded a mod that lets you warp your pawns to you by double tapping To Me. I just save it for when they get stuck on a ledge in the 'i'm about to fall off this ledge' animation, since there's absolutely nothing you can do to snap them out of it without climbing back up.If you're just walking around the intended roads/paths then you shouldn't have any trouble but if you abuse stuff like Levitate or spearhands Skydive > bolt > thrust combo to get around cliffs/gaps the pawns will break -constantly-.
>>582512590The pawns and the NPCs use the exact same pathfinding so you're placeboing yourself with the belief that pawns are better.I have no real way of knowing the reason why, but if I had to guess I'd say they massively tuned down the navmesh quality. Stuff like that can be quite CPU intensive especially on rocky or uneven terrain which we have a lot of in DD2. There's some really dogshit moments, like if you jump out the crack in the wall at the Seafloor Shrine riftstone one of your pawns will always get stuck in the corner until they teleport. Another example is dropping down from the top of the Elven ruins, coming down the right side platform always gets one pawn stuck trying to climb a wall too high. And in this image you can see Raven is trying to climb the broken bridge to reach me and she's bugged out and keeps climbing to the left and not even up or down so she's just stuck. Yesterday I even had a point where we were just walking down the completely flat open road leading out of Bakbattahl and somehow one of my pawns bugged out and started running back and forth in one spot until I picked her up and moved her.Before it was really good, exceptional among games even which is why this stands out so much to me.
>>582512437>You don't have to be cruel like that.I only speak the truth. It's a video that could have been 1 minute long.
will we finally get impactful augment choice in Dark Arisen instead of every single arisen/pawn running Mettle+Apro+Thew+Dominance+Constancy+Subtlety/Provocation?
>>582513210I'm surprised if I see even a single pawn bothering to run more than one useful augment, my man. But yes, augments suck major dick in 2 for some reason. Just another baffling decision.
>>582513297well random pawns are typically absolute dogshit i meant more anyone who actually intentionally chose their augments.
>>582513210Vitality for casters is actually pretty great. It's applied AFTER Ring of Recitation.
help me
I swear if those dumbasses at capcom who handle the marketing managed to spoiler everything again I'll be so fucking pissed
>>582515097They sure love to spoil every single monster in monhun before launch every single fucking time, besides perhaps story's final boss. It's so baffling to me. Perhaps it's a Crapcom thing
Another hecking epic pathfinding moment thanks crapcom (she's stuck at the bottom of the ladder trying to climb the wrong side)
>>582505028God I miss Cassardis
Cassardis. Home. At least, it was before I fucked everything up...
is Sweep worth running on pawns or should i replace it with another Sunder?
Turns out the Seafloor Shrine armouries all just sell the same shit as one another meaning there's certain items you can't get in postgame and completely defeating the purpose of having multiple shops. How fucking stupid.
>>582519586It's really stupid, shops are also tied to location so if you carry a trader npc to the correct spot you can usually buy their old stock.
>>582519893Interesting! Not sure it will help though as I need an item from the Checkpoint merchant and she's not one of the Seafloor merchants so unless I can maybe find her randomly roaming around I think I'm cooked.
>filter for the vocation im looking for in riftstone>every single offering the pawn is only leveled/has the augment of the vocation they're currently asi cannot believe how rare it is to find a pawn that actually has augments from different vocations
why does the lighting in this game look great in some places and total shit in others?
>>582520975uwu sorry... It's canonical levelling.
>>582521157>no subtletyin the bin
Honestly for hard mode they should also decrease the stats gained on level up, not just make enemies beefier.
>>582512590I haven't played since launch but there are numerous times I've had one pawn just get stuck three rooms behind me in a cave for no reason, and almost as many times I've had all of my pawns just no where to be seen, don't even teleport to me, and have to slowly find their way to where I am.I don't remember this at launch, the pathfinding is definitely kinda fucked up.
>>582521259Didn't ask + don't care + you're cringe
>>582521481that's the same thing
>>582521259My pawn is currently a rank 1 thief because I'm getting subtlety but I'm so sleepy.
>>582463581I imagine most people tried to manually bring it the first time unless they followed a guide or were smart enough
>>582512437I honestly don't think that inclination should have been tied to voice, but I understand why they did itThey probably didn't want to record multiple inclination lines for each voice.
>>582520975depending on level, it may take a bitassuming you're swapping vocations every time one gets maxed out, a pawn can at minimum get all vocations maxed at around level 50-60 or so
>>582522051I hate straightforward female voice so much lol. My pawn went nuts in combat though, but had to change back soon
>>582522294desu I don't think inclination matters too much for pawn behavior (in my opinion, I am aware of what they actually do) the benefits of having certain inclination pawns in certain roles is miniscule outside of some outliers, such as kindhearted mages casting palladium more often straightforward pawns are definitely more aggressive but that can also be a bad thingmy thief pawn is calm, and I have had no issues with her doing as much damage on average as a straightforward thief
>>582238873>PC>Natrish>Lv.16>mage>SDYJRJ37WB0AI'm leveling this new save to like 40 to play the dlc at level when it drops. if you would like to hire my pawn i would appreciate it.She only has buffs and boons
Permanently delete every single Chirugeon pawn out of the rift.
>>582522565>multiple boonspawns will overwrite boons with different boons and in general waste a lot of time, never equip them with more than one.>but she can use the right boon for the enemy we're fightingthey don't actually do this, they just throw one on, which is why there's a mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1635) specifically made so they actually use boons appropriately.
>>582522818I'll fix it right now then before I leave. What's the best boon to give?
I'm actually going to have to change my pawn from Warrior to Archer just because every archer in the rift is set up to be as useless as possible.
>>582522874I believe Ice is the general all-rounder boon for DD2.
>>582523050Alright she's updated with just ice affinity tonic and high levin in place of the boons.
>>582515007Just a typical loading screen hint or canonical meta narrative, call it.
>>582522565She raised her hand at the start to do the pawn greeting and I didn't realise fur 2 makes their hands fluffy too that was too cute.
>>582524858tis very cute
>>582525961SOUL
>>582525961ah...brother PF Chang...
>>582505028Meh, I never got super obsessed with any pawn from my DD1 runs to the point where I made calendars and akusuta, etc
>try the sequence break glitch to unlock the fairy region early>can basically just beeline to agamen from rank 3 magedoes anyone know if this bricks the file? I've skipped melve entirely and thus am unsure if that has made my file bad.
>>582280397This pawn loves floating. Hope you like.I have many more pawns to draw, oh boy.
Any pawns you hired that were particularly memorable?I was scrolling through my old hires to recruit and there's a Megumin inspired one with just Meteoron Bolide, Spellhold and Prescient Flare that will sometimes just delete a boss. She's almost too good to keep around but I love me some fire rocks falling from the sky.
>>582529747I love it! It really means the world for someone to care enough to make art about my pawn.She really does love to float, thank you for hiring her and for drawing this.
Im trying a new fit for my warfarer arisen, thoughts?
>>582531284
>>582531448>>582531284
>>582531284I also tried it with diabolical cuisses but it looks a bit too clunky for the more sleek aesthetic I had in mind.
Seeing the pawns posted here gives me fomo but if I play the game any more I'll burn myself out for the dlc... 12 days that feel like an eternity
>>582530663
>>582532532brine him
>>582532532it's a good thing I play offline or I'd feel compelled to make my pawn the most grotesque creature possible for updoots
What's a good level to cut exp at?
>>582533958Dunno did it at 44 or so, but we will see when dlc drops
>>582533958Max carry weight is at 40, Max Knockdown Power at 80
Im making a new pawn
How much does armor/weapons matters once you start to reach higher levels like 100+ ? Or, should i say, when can i just say fuck it and embrace fashion dogma without making my pawn shit ?
>>582535765curse of ra
>>582535864embrace fashion's dogma
>>582535765This reminds me of a girl i was involved with. One day she told me she liked to get a tan because it made semen stand out more on her skin. I'll never forget that.Yes she was crazy, i was 16 and she was 27
>>582535997wew lad
>>582535864I do wish that wyrmfire upgrade normalised the stats at least a little a bit. not using maxed out endgame armor loses you like 100+ defenses, and then if you use the boosting augments it goes to like 150+
Installed an "Advanced Warfarer" type mod against my better judgement but I'm having fun. I'm glad this isn't vanilla though because it really does make every other vocation redundant.
>>582535765Almost dark enoughI would plow her consensually and eventually ask for her hand in marriage
>>582515023Wombo Combo'd
>>582535997Fascinating...
>>582537373only if youre white
>>582539390now thats all I will ever be able to think about if I hire hertrue suffering
>>582531284It looks good but the leg armor doesn't seem to match that well
>>582521141Modern lighting b like that
>>582510137lmao saved, why is she like thisthanks for the pictures I love seeing them
What's /ddg/'s preferred approach to CC?>full customization at start, spend long time at the start of each file making a specific character>partial customization at start, grind RC to get dyes, etc.>make characters in CC app gradually, port them to a fresh file>partial customization at start, figure out the rest over time>mixed bagI feel almost like I'm playing spore or something, my characters change gradually yet drastically over time.
>>582529747MSP anon is drawing again!
>>582512981I dunno, escort NPCs feel way worse. I don't think it's a placebo, I've had the NPCs get stuck on an open bridge running back and forth eternally unless I pick their dumb ass up, they get trapped on literally every oxcart, etcI do believe that it got worse with the patch, but pawns are mostly fine for me. they do seem to get retarded when showing me a path, very common for one to trip itself up climbing up and down ledges that it has no reason to even be climbing
what's a dangan anyway
>>582546672my main character got a buzzcut and burn scar during unmoored world, my pawn stayed exactly the same the entire time.more games should release their character creator early where applicable so you dont have to spend the time on launch day when you just want to get in and play. good way to build hype tooI had 15 hours in the creator by the time dd2 came out
>>582547897Bullet

how far should i progress for dlc?
FLYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIINN'
>>582550157Was gonna ask the same question.
I'm level 100 and I'm worried I'll be too strong for most of the DLC and Lost Rites dungeons...What should I do? Will Hard modo be enough to give me a challenge or will I have to use worse gear?
Imagine if they got B'z to make a song for the DLC...>>582550157>>582550263Stop at "give godsbane to stinky", don't give it to stinky.
dlc endgame going to be moontower btw
some dungeons are (allegedly) unmoored world only, and some dungeons are (confirmed) still difficult for stat-capped characters (~level 500) also hard mode is (confirmed) going to be difficult even at max level.
