Finally killed Supersatan (Normal Mode) and got totally not pic related chest from Ultimate Spoils. Does it always give this chest, or can it give multiple different ones. Also, are Ultimate Spoils only chest, or are there ones for other slots also?
Do you need to kill the Reaper to get the rancor point?

>>584483859>She's nowhere to be found.Did you talk to her down by the ice wall? Alternatively back at the Gagana nest, maybe.
>>584481658Three questionsDoes the dye thingy that unlocks more skin colors for humans also unlock more fur colors for furfags?Is there a way to force animations on pawns for screenshots, or do people just keep an eye on their pawns idling for a chance to get a good pose?
>>584483859I had that happen to me, I went back to the snowfield and she suddenly teleported to me.
>>584483751The face 23 thing doesn't count as human.
When in the story does the DLC slot? Like I know it's difficult, that's fine, but when is it supposed to be done in the game? You unlock it basically immediately from Brant but are you supposed to do it then too technically? I would like to do it when it feels appropriate in story
>>584483779Nah, our arisen lived out the rest of their life and diedand then was turned into a dragon/drake
>>584483973>dyesNo clue>animationsYeah you just pay attention and pause repeatedly to get the right pose.
>>584484102You only become a Dragon if you die to the Seneschal tho which DD1 Arisen doesn't do since he canonically kills Savan (forma de Seneschal).

>>584484019Start it before you enter the unmoored world otherwise you wont be able to start it at all.And if your in the unmoored world you can freely rest in Norgan all you want and it wont effect the unmoored world.
>>584484192there's way too many drakes and multiversal dragons for it to just be the occasional arisen that makes it to the seat of god and gets smittenI imagine it's all of them after they live out their role in its entirety, slaying, ruling, and then passing away, only to get recycled into a drake or dragon that is still bound by the will of the world and is a little pissy about it

Why does nobody hires my pawn? I worked so hard on it
>>584484667dd1 arisen bailed out of the seneschal duties via godbane tho
>>584484450I headcanon'd it as Dragons being Arisens who fell to the Seneschal and lesser dragons like Drakes, Wyrms, etc. are just dead Arisens in general.But then there's also weird stuff like the Ur-Dragon (is that shit even canon), the Fallen Dragon and that weird Dragon that immediately eats shit to the real Dragon after the Gigantus, so who knows, really.

>>584482093Try charging the paralyzing blast that comes built in with the job, and charging it while you do the Maister skill (wild furie or something) and steal the stamina back with Ravinour’s Hond. The damage is good when you’re hitting a weak point, but if you’re not you might be better off doing a paralyzing blast and charging up Mystic Speargonne to snipe. You can also do a bit of support with a fully charged Mirror Shielde, which is similar to High Palladium now. I like to use the paralyzing blast to CC crowds of enemies (hit the blast button right after it lands on an enemy) and use a strong attack to do a finishing move; you can also use it to close the gap by hitting jump right after it hits an enemy. Take my advice with a grain of salt though, I play it like a sneaky sniper with melee options.
Wait, you can't give lvl5 gear to pawns with lvl4 or 3 gear, is that right?
Your pawn won't be walking normally when you get them back btw

Anybody want a ring of Gore? Can i even give it to pawns? If so throw me a pawn summon
>>584482093Also, a fair bit of mystic spearhand attacks do more damage to enemies that you paralyze with your blast thingy, and you can charge it up while you attack. It’s probably not great for wrist/hand strain, but in theory you can charge and fire it rapidly in between skills/regular attacks. This is great for keep non-boss enemies paralyzed for a long time as you attack, but it gets annoying when you fight big single targets.
People that hate face 23 are fat and ugly IRL. They are triggered by regular human faces. It's like Frankenstein's monster smashing a mirror when he sees his face and murdering a child because he can't relate to actual people.

Thoughts on buggaboos?
Become eirpilledTeach your pawns to read
>>584486797It’s even better when another archer pawn syncs up. So many arrows. I’m seriously considering just hiring three archer pawns one of these days.
>>584486870I don't know what that is but here's a code 0Z0PF31O3BIW
>>584486283It was inconsistent in the logic applied to what was undead enough. Are ghouls even reanimated bodies? I'm under the impression that they're just corporeal rancor manifestations.
Thoughts on Knockdown Resist, specifically the Sorc augment? All the flat value augments are raped with the new gear values so I'm looking at percent-based alternatives for my fighter pawn. The augs I have are: aggro, both defense augs, +knockdown, +stamina regenThen I have to pick two of these for the last slots:Beatitude (+10% healing received, decent imo for speeding up anodyne during combat and more effective consumables)Constancy (+30% knockdown res, it sounds good on paper but I'm not sure if fighters are knockdown capped by default, I'm assuming big monster hits that ragdoll will always do that regardless)Intrepidity (-5% loss taken, devalued by the new loss regen items IMO, more of a convenience than useful in combat)Lethality (+5% damage when striking weak point, one of the only percent damage gains and I use it on my Arisen but pawns don't seem very good at targeting weak points)Verve (+30 strength, heavily devalued by the new gear stats)I'm thinking Beatitude and Constancy but is there something I'm missing?
>>584487292Can they actually use books? I've never seen/noticed
>>584483972>>584483986I downloaded the NPC finder script and warped to her (she was dead apparently, so I had to keep resting). She's at the ice wall, but she keeps talking about the ballista and isn't giving me anything, and she's not following me either.
Is there ever any reason to have multiple elemental buffs on the same pawn? In my experience they just end up casting (for example) fire affinity then lightning affinity then back-and-forthing rather than doing anything else, yet I keep seeing pawns with multiple. Am I missing something, does a certain inclination fix the problem, or is it just the usual randoms making bad decisions?
>>584487406You can teach them with a new specialisation scroll
DD3 should get indirect pvp elements where you can kidnap pawns and the Arisen has to travel to a challenge island to release them.
>>584481713Ursulalvl 140Ranger4ZB1NAH0BXB1Camp in Norgan one time for dragon scale
All of the female arisens and pawns in this thread are ugly as shit
>>584487361They take damage from holy spells (incl healing) so that means they're undead, probably.

Cool fact about Argent Solace: Since it has stamina regen, pawns will spam it to replenish your stamina when it gets low.
Guys please just fucking be straight with me be so fucking for real and tell me is Death back?
>>584487423Check your storage again. Your quest log showed that you have received the tallow. Do lost dlc key items appear at the scrap shop, or somewhere else?
>>584487382Constancy is likely a good choice, just because we don’t know a lot about knockdown mechanics yet and big % increases tend to be good. The buff duration one is also worth considering, I think it increase the duration of buffs on the person with the augment by 10-20%.

>>584488439I use it, I assume it's a pathetic increase like 10% or something but in a hectic battle that can still make a difference.
Do you think with DD3 they'll finally make a Crimson Desert killer?
>>584488439Nah, it's fast enough already to res them and you still need to find an opportunity to do it
>>584488439I always have it on. I think the increase is pretty noticeable.
>>584488551The wiki says 1 second but I'm not sure what the base pawn rez time is
>>584488203it applies to weapon enchants and any buff that shows up as a pip above your health bar (notably camp food buffs)

Anyone know how is the fighter pawn behavior with Simple, Calm and Kindhearted. Because fucking straightforward versus the maw monster is fucking suicidal retard keeps climbing instead of using his skills.
>>584481658I fucking love how dopey the goats look.

>>584489418I have mine on Calm and she climbs. I had Kindhearted on for most of the base game and I feel like I noticed less climbing so I might switch back. Not clue about Simple, nobody ever talks about it.
>>584489479Level thief a bit so you get subtlety. Archers seem to draw aggro like crazy.
>>584489548Might give a spin with Simple just to see because man I'm getting angry with the AI.
>>584489635This is good though since they're pretty good at kiting now
>>584489494https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r3IHDr7M2s
Would you guys recommend finishing the main story first and digging into the dlc in another playthrough or just get to level 40 and jump right in?
>>584489418Kindhearted will run back to check on you after every skill they use. I love the voice but the behavior was driving me insane because mine would shield drum and then run straight at me like an asshole, so I had to change it.I've been told simple just kind of does whatever, but it's basically giving your pawn brain damage so that checks out
>>584481713>PC>Nokki>209>Thief>X1DR7KX7NZUQ5 All heals for Fimbl killsTweaking her skills a little so please let me know if she's effective.
>>584488669just spam stam roberants, you get infinite money in teh dlc
>>584489207Let's see how it goes. That 4% is the people that kept playing regularly enough for nearly 3 years that they felt okay with buying the DLC and going straight into it. Most players will be returning after several years and probably starting again (e.g. me). I tried carrying on with my old save but so much has happened in the last 2.5 years on a personal level that it was jarring. Like carrying on from an old save in Skies of Arcadia on the DC. So basically, if you been playing the game since launch, you're (most of) the 4%ers.
>>584489753I'm restricting myself to the "Base Game" for a while. Jumping right to the DLC sounds fun if you want cold weather vibes and whatever (better sounding) story content there may be, but I want to draw out DD2 for as long as possible
>>584489767So I have to choose between downs, brain damage and utter complete retardation. If Simple prove to be too retarded I guess I will try Calm
>>584489753I would recommend doing the main game first
hired celia and they immediately started floating
>>584489753If you haven't beaten the main story before, you should do it first, so you get the ng+ bonuses from dragonforged for your dlc run.
>>584489753Go to Norgan ASAP, I replayed the base game up to getting the empowered godsbane and it wasn't worth it (you will have to do this at some point anyway, since it's needed to open most of the lost rite doors)
Do these things show up in the wild somewhere? I never encountered one just wandering around.
>>584489802>let me know if she's effective.I hired for about 15 days and she was doing just fine. I killed loads of shit with her.
>>584489707kek
>>584483812MOGRUUUUM drink the cough syrup I sent you
WHY ARE THERE SO FEW FULL FACE HELMETS
Is the value of DA2 commensurate to its price?
>>584489753I'm playing hard mode, but, think of 'main story + lost rites' as a separate game from 'Norgan'. I'd say wait until NG+ before entering Norgan.
>>584490343Price is too low
>>584490343No, it's woke.
>>584489753Get to the point where you can get given the Empowered Godsbane, then don't progress further than that. That's basically the optimal point if you do plan to progress through the main game by any significant amount.Then do the 9 basic Lost Rites. They are worth it.Then you're ready to do the DLC.Once you beat the DLC and activate its endgame, you can go back and finish the story and then activate its own endgame. Base game endgame now has extra content with the DLC and updates.Base game sidequests/content are basically optional besides anything related to Vocations and Maister Skills. You probably want to do all the Sphinx stuff too. Some quests do lead to unique vendors like the Coral Snakes stuff, but look that up if you have to.
>>584490415It's definitely intended that you go to Norgan, see the Obelisks and get at least tier 1 Norgan gear before doing most of the lost rites
>>584481713>DD2>PC>Felix>41>Fighter>I2HYXIT7FEB4He's level 40+ now so it's DLC time! Wish me luck, I don't know what the hell I'm in for (I'm on hard mode).
>>584490343Dragon age 2 is bad
>>584490343it is if you combine all the recent changes.Title Update & Hard Mode & Lost Rites & Norgan, feels $70. Norgan alone feels $50 imo.
>>584490496Thanks for the 35 year old virgin perspective.
>>584490496'Tis over
Now that I'm seeing more interesting armor skills and rings, I've started taking less aggro-draw passives to see how much it matters. Right now, I haven't noticed a significant change from x3 (Provoking Aura, Provocation, and Ring of Disfavor) to x2 (Provocation and Ring of Disfavor) for the way I manage battles. Still playing around with just Provocation. It might be a tad easier to pull aggro off the tank with just one effect.
DD3 or next DLC should raise party count to six.
NGL I absolutely hated this cunt. Reminded me of a MH1 Rath with how much it ran.>>584489753I dove straight into the DLC with base endgame weapons at level 70 at hard mode. The Nords were 10x tankier than anything base game and I got my shit rocked until I was in lvl 2 relic gear. I haven't touched any of the lost rites dungeons yet.
>>584490605Always a pleasure
I hired Gruensha and she managed to knock a Griffin out of the sky. Will hire again.
>Satan is too tall to reiably hit a waekpoint with skyward strikeHow is fight supposed to play this fight
>>584490150Many DLC enemies are endgame exclusive.
>>584490892How is Fighter supposed to play this fight?*
>>584489340>pawn butts
>>584490892>>584490974Just run after him and spam the upgraded jump attack our grapple him and gouge that nigga.

>>584490719I think (at least in Hard Mode) there are some overt aggro overrides.In the double Gorechimera fight they just focused me nonstop and I wonder if something about my setup was triggering that behaviour.Also, if you want to be a distraction as an Arisen? Be a Sorceror. Charge up a long spell and about three enemies will stop what they're doing to interrupt. You could probably abuse it on a Warfarer support setup.
>>584490892The virgin Airward Slash vs the chad Skyward Sunder
>>584490573I liked it. One of the only WRPGs where the story isn't just:>1. You have to do thing (established very early)>2. Random side questing >3. You do thing For example, find Sarevok, stop Saren, kill dragon "god", close Oblivion gates, etc. At best you get a two stage thing, like FO1 and 2. Get water chip/GECK but then..! Also kill bad guys. Yes, a low bar but it stands out.
Comfy dungeon crawling adventures with pawns.
>>584490719Aggro seems heavily weighted towards vocation, I think sorcerer pulls the most aggro, with archer somewhere after, and mage and fighter in the middle. Thief seems to never pull aggro in my experience, but perhaps stacking aggro on thief might be smart since the new formless feint changes are very stong.>>584490974>>584490892Get the new fighter Maister skill, and let him do his bullet spam
>>584489340>>584491014
>>584491158Why would warfarer do that over using a censer?
>>584491158Yeah, the DLC story climax fight has ghouls single you out regardless of passive aggro effects, so there's definitely shenanigans on the table. Just in general, though I'm wondering if it's just an incremental tick in proximity or more of an immediate switch. I had a Skeleton Lord get pissy with me after getting collateral from a Grand Salamander, but as soon as I moved away, it immediately beelined back to the fighter.
>>584491575Because the Wayfarer is based and hates censership.
>>584491409I've been playing trickster and in my experience archers pull more aggro than sorcs, at least initially. I often have to spam the cloud at the start of fights, just to get enemies off my archers. They all have subtlety and i have provocation from augment, ring and armor.
>>584481713Ahnassi is my special friend and if you hire her she can be your special friend too!>DD2DA>PC>Ahnassi>level 310+>Mage>W30HWTNNUMTE>Full support skill loadout arcanist specialization
>>584491981shouldnt ahnassi be a thief.
>>584489753I'd recommend finish at least one cycle before going into the DLC.
>>584491014>pass through these threads with none of the pawns catching my interest>instant boner from thiswhy
>all these face 23 sluts
Christ Simple managed to be worse than straightforward, he climbs and has brain damage delay in order to engage foes.
if my pawn was mostly a melee class for 99% of my playthrough would their AI be stupid if I put them as a mage/archer?
>>584489753routing the DLC and endgame is a weird zigzag pattern between doing norgan and lost rites and unmoored.
>>584492326Depends on augment as shit I suppose.
>>584492230Pawns are oblivious to enemies regardless of inclination.
>>584481713Hire my pawn so I know that she isnt banned from the rift>PC>Rio>67>Archer>XE2CVYTMSTVP>Stupid
>>584492075Why? The intended path is clearly godsbane -> norgan -> lost rites -> norgan -> unmoored
>>584481713>PC>Marinera>70>Calm Thief>XVWYO9D4GMJC>Kill Norgan giant for 5 Allheal questThanks for all the hires! Makin slow and steady progress.
>>584492208quote them, we'll see how good you are at scoping
>>584492326It won't make a difference, Pawn AI is based on Vocation and Inclination.I believe Pawns can mimic your actions as part of your current sessions but that's basically a temporary thing and has no bearing on the pawns actual AI.
>>584486685>playing as a giant catI do not understand the appeal. Maybe I should make a loli cat and see if I change my mind
>>584492464does norgan change in unmoored? Ive seen a few spots that look like they would have more stuff if the water drained.
i drew porn of themits not very good but i tried okhttps://files.catbox.moe/8dd26v.png
>>584492430Okay, once I return Esther and Celia
>>584492643Very nice.
>>584492326It'll catch up as you level.
>>584492208I legit don't remember what face I chose in the character creator demo >>584488139. >>584492154Ranger tights just work.
>>584492464NG+ benefits from dragonforged. Norgan gear will also trivialize the normal endgame content.
>>584490212Well that's good to know. She's been eating shit in the rifts so I was wondering.
>>584492571I'm not sure, I was wondering about that too, my assumption was it's just completely locked off once it starts but idk
>>584488717Vermund and Battahl are superstitious. Norgan has confirmation bias and small sample sizes.
>>584492464Except getting some level 1 loot from Norgan completely obsoletes every single piece of gear you find in the Lost Rites.The intended route is definitely Godsbane > Lost Rites > Unmoored World + UW Lost Rites > NG+ Norgan
>>584492709End game has lots of water to get brined in and that keeps happening with pawns I hire.
>>584489418Calm is probably the best at staying alive, makes strong use of hindsight sweep. less aggressive than other inclinations, won't initiate a fight until you do.Simple is middle of the road and doesn't have any weight to its combat behaviour. reliably solid other than also wanting to fight every rabbit and crate on the way. But will help you loot the room when you're done killing.Kindhearted fighter is the bodyguard fighter, it wants to stick close to you and has high target weight against whatever is attacking you, best paired with another melee class that wants a dedicated combat buddy.
>>584492643Kino>>584481658Does warfarer level up every vocation or just itself? A bunch of sites says it levels everything
>>584492427Just wished my pawn nigger stop climbing the creature with a giant mouth in his tummy
>>584492818It doesn't. Fully enhanced lost rite gear is better than tier 2 Norgan gear. Also corrupted mobs are harder than early Norgan mobs. I cleared 3 lost rites and was getting raped in some of the later ones before I decided to go to Norgan first and the difficulty curve felt a lot better there.
I'd like to try other Inclinations but the female Simple voice is too cute, I cant bring myself to change to a different one.
>>584492889It does at 1/8 rate or something
>>584492889It does but it seems to be much slower than maining the vocation.
>>584492858Guess given I'm a Warrior/Fighter kindhearted makes sense, my blood pressure is rising every time I see him climbing a nigga as he was a strider.
>>584481713DD2PCIsabelle(Isabel)Lv. 253Thief with Plunder and the Stealing Ring (gets you approx +2 Lv5s per Giga Vortexes)WPK7383DNX4KSimple, ArcanistQuest: Kill a Gagana for an AllhealLoves to climb, surprisingly sturdy. Does good damage and is pretty smart
I noticed pawns stop green handing if you just accept it from time to time, it seems the game treats it almost as a forced tutorial and stops forcing it if you accept once in a while.
>>584492721I dont see anyone talking about norgan and unmoored stuff so Im guessing its not accessible until somoneone says otherwise.
>>584492703>Norgan gear will also trivialize the normal endgame content.It'd be a bigger deal if Unmoored were remotely dangerous (in Normal). It's an eerie vibe, but more of a victory lap if you've been paying any attention to the gameplay's logic. The purgeners have phases and are designed far more like cinematic fights than challenges. Norgan's story line is at odds with Rothais so it's hard to say where the experience is best placed thematically.
>>584492976The female simple voice is basically flutey-voiced posh idiot. Like a single 38 year old rich woman. Mine has it and I'm not a fan. Maybe it sounds better if you're not English.
>>584493004>>584493027It's at 1/9 rate because the dcp is split between all the vocations. It gets faster for the remaining ones if you already have some vocations maxed.
>make giant warrior orc pawn>never gets hired
>>584493128couple threads ago someone posted the quest journal essentially saying "shit's too fucked to go there right now dude" while unmoored is happening
>>584492905Just wait until one of those things snatches a pawn and immediately swandives into a bottomless pit.
>>584493286Noticed my pawn got hired recently and received 3 hearts, open the guy profile and it was a bear fursona. I'm like "Oh."

>>584493620At least in my head came out as the guy was into Bear guys. But he even gave a new weapon to my pawn, so I ain't judging always welcome to hire. But it was funny because never thought regarding that perspective, just wanted to do a cool viking guy as my pawn
If you do the quest where you meet Sven in the castle does that cancel his quest with him buying that thing from the market? It's not triggering for me.

>>584495628
>>584495104If you modify your pawn stats beyond game maximums, it gets shadowbanned and can't be hired until the stats are within game limits.If you add modded gear to the game and put it on your pawn/in their inventory, it's shadowbanned and can't be hired until you fix it.If you mod your game to allow height below 150cm and make your pawn less than 150cm, they'll be shadowbanned and can't be hired until you fix it.Note that you CAN use the 150cm height mod since the slider is able to go that low once the restriction is removed, just not the 140cm one since that goes below coded allowance.
>>584495104your lawn can only get banned if you sleep at an inn (uploading them to the server) and have an impossible variable. like a mage pawn using a greatswors or 9999 stat. it just checks if something is impossible or not
