I don't speak a word of it so after some Googling I was stuck between Imani (Faith in Swahili) and Subira (Endurance/ perseverance in Swahili) and ended up settling on the second and made Faith her moniker. I suppose the name I picked fits with her Calm inclination better.Thank you for reading my blog post.

>>587730516Too bad Zara has moved on, I'd love to see them scissor together...
>>587731379wish I could delete that stupid fucking DEI retard from the game, fucking dev time thief
>>587730516I completed her Garm quest and took her along to clear some Lost Rites and Vortexes. Those holy weapons came in pretty handy whenever that blasted black dog showed up. I love watching Fighters work together to take down enemies; they just start sending them flying everywhere. She's cool, but I think she could use a little more knockdown resistance. Shield drum is not very good.
>>587732415You could just murder him in town the moment you meet him. I believe you can also just jump him during his first quest.
>>587731938the lore goes deep...
>>587732547I shit, I thought I got rid of Shield Drum. She uses it so rarely that I barely notice. I did have a random game crash recently in the vocation screen recently, I think that was when I was getting rid of it...Might put Divine Defense in there instead so she can block grabs.
could be the cover of an album
Replaying base game on hard mode before tackling DLC and it really just baffles to no end what the fuck is happening in the story in the second half. Why do we suddenly assist in restoring the more powerful godsway? Why are we chasing Phaesus to give it to him as if he wasn't the person we were told to he wary off throughout the entire story? Like, it's not even just inconsistent, it's straight up schizo plot development. What the fuck was Itsuno thinking? And yes I assume they had an idea of how to explain all of it had they been given more resources, but this is not how you salvage an unfinished story lol. Completely mind boggling.
>>587732785>>587732547Okay, fixed her skills. Replaced Shield Drum with Divine Defense, and removed Shield Pummel since honestly, it sucks in Norgan and might as well make her use those other skills more instead.
>>587733113>bored, bearded Anthony Hopkins at the back
>>587732547shield drum is great for the mood though
>>587733121I noticed that in the Vernworth purgener fight your pawns can start commenting about how the city "turned on the arisen in what I can only assume is a cut plotline
>>587733113Way ahead of you, I did this 2 years ago.
>>587732785She still had it when I hired her. It was pretty hilarious watching Ghislaine get swarmed by every single enemy, then seeing sparks fly everywhere. Just clank, clank, clank, while Subira stood in the back playing Shield Drum, kek. Yeah, it not a very good skill, divine defense could be godly if you build around it properly. Still, I had fun with her.>>587733293Sweet! That sounds good. She's pretty pricey to hire at 3K RC, but I'll definitely hire her when I go full Fighter for the Rancor.>>587733465Kek, for the aura if you will.
>>587733113Do you have the sloppa of the fuhrer doing the salute during the ending?
>finally get the chance after 2 and a half years to get the "Become the Sovreign" ending trophy>can't get myself to do it because I'd henceforth view my character as a pussywhat do
>>587733760Make a new save on a throwaway character
>>587733760Start a new save and rush to the ending. It takes like two seconds, you just have to sit through Brants bullshit again.
>>587733760I forgot what I'm even supposed to do to get that trophy, cause it wasn't letting the dragon take your beloved.
>>587733694ofc, bless the anon who did this. I think the original link of that anon should still work:https://files.catbox.moe/zwv247.mp4

Ezpz
>>587734342well fuck. I did that and I watched the cutscene where my guy was sitting on the throne and then it went back to the main menu. I didn't get the trophy.
I spent too much time aligning this blood splatter with the portal behind me
>>587734342Actually, no. There's no trophy for walking away from the dragon and your beloved. The trophy just requires you to kill the dragon and then let the ending play out in which you take the throne.If you just walk away you also yet crowned but there's no achievement.
>>587734805Awesome!
>>587734735Oh no, wait you have to fight the dragon and watch the cutscene. I mixed it with DD1's trophy.
>>587734845>>587735030Ah that explains it. Last time I didn't fight the dragon at all and skipped straight to UW.

>>587733121What do you mean you didn't enjoy Lanzo, Hugo and our beloved anti-hero Raghnall?! Their quests are amazing and their own personal cutscenes... spectacular! Yes, Menella and Nadinia have no cutscenes nor romances despite being featured on both covers of the game, and Nadinia being the head of a whole nation has just 3 shitty escort tier quests, but our aforementioned CHADS are far more than enough to satisfy! The Coral Snakes are so cool! Please stop paying attention to the story basically speedrunning to Unmoored World once you restore the godsway! No, no, Bakbattahl isn't quintessentially a proof of concept shipped at 70 bucks!*jangles the Coral Snake keys some more*Please save Hugo's retarded ass!*raughs*
>>587734845Yeah, I forgot. In DD1 there was a trophy for taking the deal and such.

>>587735904hmh..... quite pungent!
>>587733121You're sent to Battahl to investigate whatever the Godsway is and to figure out what is Phaesus's plan, you go along with them because it's part of your investigation.Obviously they hat to cut stuff that should make this more clear, something like Nadinia asking to check out investigate the lab at some point because she might be worried about what's going on down there, or maybe Menella would ask us to do it.

>>587734696Nice!
>>587735982should have been me..
>>587730829>>587730156
They actually did expect you to know the first game's story well to understand what is going on in the 2nd game, for example how are you supposed to figure out what Rothais is if you didn't play the first game? It's not bad that a sequel's story can be enjoyed more if you played the first game but being practically mandatory to make sense of the story is crazy... CRAZY.
>>587736318BASED
>>587735904Your feet, my mouth.
>>587737062>*cacophonous raughing*
He's a Seneschal.
>>587737062You weren't the intended audience. Only people who respect and understand the vision were.
>>587737062I played the first game and I didn't really get that he was supposed to the seneschal because I figured the seneschal would be in his throne in the sky.
Holy shit... I didn't know snatching beast foil was such goated skill... when ^ enhanced... perfect for warfarer.
>>587737062nobody said that ITSUNO'S WASN'T A LITTLE BIT CRAZY!
>>587737814But I do respect Itsuno-san's vision!>>587737864In the first game when we become Seneschal we can leave our throne and can walk around the world though.
>>587738010how do I force more armor relics
>>587737864In the Japanese version he's explicitly called the Seneschal (Kaiou, hence >>587737707) but they mistranslated it as King of Vermund.
>>587736872Appreciate it! Enjoy the fruit wine!
>>587738124Yeah, but you're also invisible to everyone. Even if other arisen could see you, you could just leave.

>>587737864You don't hate localizers enough.
>>587736693Can't argue with that..
>>587736318>jealous of cattosIt's okay, Jonas, we know.
>>587738152Red gigavortex.
Ladies and gentlemen, the eyeussy is about to make me act most unwise...
>>587737864You didn't remember the specialness of the godsbane? I guess he could've taken it somehow though, we take 2 of them ourselves over the course of the game now. Godsbanes are becoming zimbabwe dollars.DD3 will be godsbane versus godsbane, a rogue angelic arisen trying to subvert the greater will's order with their own order instead of entropy this time. We SMT now
>>587738174I never even knew that's what the seneschal was called in the Japanese version to begin with.
>>587738118>>587738124Please wait warmly for Dragon's Dogma 3 directed by me.
>>587738416That's true, I guess they decided to change their minds on how the Seneschal is supposed to function, they even got rid of bestowal of spirit too
>>587738893That part, I actually just forgot since it had been so long since I played DD1 so I wasn't really thinking about it. So in general, it might as well been like I didn't play DD1 anyways.
>>587738904Yeah, it literally means World King, whereas a Seneschal is "An official in a medieval noble household in charge of domestic arrangements"... So it's kind of an odd choice of translation.
>>587732547>Shield drum is not very goodWait really? I just had my pawn switched to Fighter from Warrior so I just put shield drum on there without too much thought. (also because I'm running out of skills to fill the slots) From what I've seen on a Calm Fighter, they use it a lot less often than Roar. And it seems like Fighter generates less threat than Warrior by default. Could be just anecdotal. Now that I think about it, Calm pawns seems to like to stand further away from me than other pawns which is probably why the inclination doesn't mesh well with frontline tank
>>587739179Wait, so what's the pathfinder called in Japanese?
Kinoshitsuno, the ultimate game director.
>>587736493Her flamberge is her aughtistic special interest
>>587735803thanks!
>>587738931Kinoshita's vision? We need a DDON lore sage to explain the story and general vision game to see if that's a good or a bad thing.
Even though I feel as though I scoured every corner of the world, I wasn't able to find more than around 160 seeker's tokens by myself (without Trickster perk)
Hey, i wanna start out. I need some mods>loli character creation>better performance>custom lewd gearThanks
>>587739285Aug + aura from helmet provide all aggro you need and make drum a dead slot.>running out of skills to fill the slotsYeah nah.
>>587738152Red Vortexes are for LV5 Ancient Armor farming and Red Satan is for LV5 Ancient Weapons.
>>587739285I've experienced the opposite, my Calm fighter stands away from the squishy ranged party members and draws the enemies away from them that way.
>>587739523>We need a DDON lore sage to explain the story and general vision game to see if that's a good or a bad thing.Like the TESO Lore Master?!
>>587739285Yep, shield drum is a pretty pathetic skill. Like it's good if you don't have any pawns with high aggro in the party but if you don't enemies will literally ignore you, lol.
how good is the lost rites trial gear compared to norgan stuff? should I do some norgan first or finish unmoored + trials first?game feels like a total fucking mess now because you go and investigate some Disa shit even though the went already went tits up. Kinoshita is just as retarded as Itsuno I suppose
>>587738772>>587739772Nice gonna get my girl kitted up on steam... Though at relative low levels, Rites gear might be better so that randos get their 0RC hire
>>587740231*the world
>>587739684>>loli character creationhttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/902?tab=descriptionYou can modify the proportions beyond what the game will allow with this, good luck.>>better performanceI don't know of any mods that improve performance but the game's performance as been improved a lot since launch so you don't really need that stuff, do be cautious when you install mods because some mods will affect performance slightly.>>custom lewd gearGet "Optional Skimpy Armors Collection" from here https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/5?tab=filesThis one is alright for DLC armors https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1732This guy has some skimpy mods too https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/ranaragua/mods?gameId=6234But I don't think they're worth using because they require mods that mess with Beastren fur causing clipping, impact performance a bit and they affect armors other than the ones showcased in the mod, up to you though.
First lesser dragon hunt and then devouring vortex. No mage, We are going to raw dog that shit. Only the strongest survive.
>>587740231Around t1, upgraded t2 but lack special skillz. >Lost Rites>DLC >Unmoored Lost Ritesseems the best approach to me.
>>587739304Michibikite (Guide), and also Mirumono (probably meant to be Observer, but it can also mean "viewer" or "audience"). Also, the Dragonforged is just called Dragon Expert, which makes him sound like a nerd.
>>587734696>that partyMust have been a handful.I was thinking of trying exactly that myself later with a Sorc/MA Warfarer build on my Arisen.How did they work out?
>>587740556We merely wish to help Anon. We will be waiting and praying for your safe return.
>>587738936>they even got rid of bestowal of spirit tooNot according to the loading screen
>>587739896That's an actual job title? Damn...
>>587740231Their base version after absorbing an Evil Eye soul is pretty lackluster, I would say around lv2-3 spoils level. But after you 3x Dwarven and Dragonforge them they become on par with lv5 spoils (albeit you'll need mid-late dlc mats to do so). The worst part about them is they can't roll Battle Frenzy, so for your Arisen they will never beat any weapon with battle frenzy, but since they have high base stats it is okay for pawns.
>>587740620The Unmoored World Lost Rite Evil Eye weapons can be considered as low T5 Norgan though.
>>587740620so unmoored lost rites is for after the DLC, balance wise? does that include the unmoored sections of previous lost rites dungeons?
>>587741053Well, fuck me, I've never seen this loading screen text before, I assumed it was replaced with them gaining affinity and Dragon's plague giving them free will, another thing that's not explicitly shown but is still there.
i just saw some crows on a bandit corpse. when was this patfched in?
HIT THE DECK, ENGEL GAVE FLOP A DEIFIC BOLT
>>587741525even the whole thing with the arisens getting their heart back and aging is still in the game
What would happen if I put clothes on slut pawns and then sent them back?>>587741763The absolute mad woman!
>>587738761Expressing jealousy is tantamont to deluding their illusions of humanity, and thus acknowledging they are worthy of such feelings. Nay, I think not of the feelings of the farm tools, only that their very presence disgusts me.
>>587741285No, >>587741223 is kinda correct about stats. I merely listed my approach to doing content, because you have to start dlc before unmoored or you lock yourself out of it. Late dlc gear makes all base game gear obsolete unless for fashion purposes. And upgrading it by killing eyes is not great either because you have to progress time for them to respawn and time is limited in UW. I'm resting in Norgan forever by this point and not a single Lost Rite respawned so there's that.
>>587741905Absolutely Jewish.
>>587741858You'd accidentally out yourself as gay.
>>587739702>>587740227Hmm if all the passive stuff are sufficient for aggro I might just make a Thief tank then to do a double Thief comp. I'm ngl I'm not impressed by Fighter pawns I've hired (and now my main pawn)>>587739889Since they stand far away, there'll very often be a few stragglers going ham on me or the mage while they're off fighting in narnia. But for bosses, I agree they work pretty well.
>>587741921Could he be any more based? The only one willing to stand up for us and save us from catastrophe.
>>587740231I did all the unmoored stuff with evil eye weapon and it was a complete steamroll. (On hard mode) So anybody that is saying Tier 3 Norgan stuff etc has either not tried it or is bad at the game. You CAN also upgrade the evil eye weapons at the blacksmith. Only that first Evil eye fight can be hard pretty hard and take a long time if you don't know his weakness.
>>587741921Now you're just morrowindposting, Jonas. Stay in your universe
>>587742274Seen any beastren? HAHAHAHAHA
>>587740734Engel is such a character, constantly going pew pew with Deific bolt, things went down pretty smoothly, everyone performed well.I have such good combo and high knockdown in that Greatsword that most everything enemies get staggered in a few hits. Two fighters and Ghislaine with shield precision can overwhelm enemies pretty fast. Pawns seem to know what's the sphinx and evil eye weak points so they went for that, quick in and out.>>587741048I've been wanting to see how things go without a support mage. Appreciate it! I'll report back on how things went, assuming we make it out alive. Kek.

>>587742872I'm breathing all of your air now.How does this make you feel?
>>587742210>I'm ngl I'm not impressed by Fighter pawns I've hiredSomeone post that webm of K***ht shieldbashing entire horde. In the end meme thief tank won't be better than fighter though. They will get hit eventually, forget to turn on formless feint or will run out of stamina, will get dogpiled and go down because literally no knockdown resist, get a fuckton hp gauge loss that still will be noticable even with regular survival instinct and just maybe bearable on survival instinct^. Vocations differ a lot in passive stats and abilities.

>>587742226>>587741940so I guess if I want to get a smooth progression out of this content instead of skipping power levels I'd do:non unmoored lost rites > norgan t1-t3 relics > unmoored lost rites > norgan t4-t5that about right?

I'm curious, what is the general opinion on Itsuno and Kinoshita in /ddg/?Do people hate Itsuno after DD2? Or they still respect him?
>>587743963Just bear in mind your pawn will keep getting AIDS once you start UW.
>>587744265Itsuno and Kinoshita both gave us (more) Dragon's Dogma. This is the one franchise I'm a consoomer for so I'm happy either way
>>587743963Sure, but you will have to hop in and out of dlc and like another anon said get ready for that vax tax if you want to keep farming dlc for best gear.
>>587744265Itsuno has good ideas but fails to execute themKinoshita is good at execution but has some very questionable ideas (what the fuck was he thinking with Battle Frenzy)
>>587743963Yeah, can confirm
>>587744265my opinion is that this series just can't catch a break, every game has some serious flaws and it's like they haven't learned anything in the 10+ years. but I still love it to death
>>587744265
>>587744265I like em both. More dogma please
>>587729798>Steam>Nyla>~50>Thief >76DDTMU1ZZBFI feel bad for the anon who took her to Norgan, but I appreciate it.

>>587744702Cute tomboy
>>587744265As a world to inhabit, I loved base game DD2
>>587744265I think both guys were hampered by Capcom more than anything.
I had a dream last night where they updated DD2 and added a bunch of shit including a new vocation. If you’re wondering it was a “dark mage” type of thing unlockable at level 836 (dreams are weird).
>>587744265Itsuno still deserves respect but since he was the director he's getting the brunt of the blame. Honestly I think DD2 was just a completely rushed game. Something they greenlit to appeal to Itsuno but also to test how RE Engine could handle games with much larger scopes. There's also quite a bit going on under the hood with the weight system and how if affects combat and models. It's also clear they cut a lot of corners to save time like simplifying the armor system to some similar to Skyrim when we had something like Morrowind before. Kinoshita has DA1, DDO, and now DA2 under his belt so ultimately I think the series is in good hands.Itsuno was going to leave regardless though. He's threatened to quite numerous times before threatening to quite if they didn't let him make DMC5 and DD2.
>>587742872Meanwhile they have a secret and very exclusive floor full of beastren at the brothel, vermundians yearn for the beastren puss. The hatred is just smoke and mirrors.
>>587745028Do you mean the top floor or is there a hidden wall or something to get to them?
>>587744658DDDA is perfect.
>>587744381>>587744498>Just bear in mind your pawn will keep getting AIDS once you start UW.>Vax taxfuck. I already started unmoored and I can't reload from my inn save from before unmoored because the game hard locks you
>>587745028Don't ever ask a human supremacist the race of his girlfriend...
>>587745028No, that's just for beastren customers so they don't bother the human whores. Also it's in the basement so they don't get hairs all over the nice furniture and carpets.
>>587745082Nope, if you know you now.>>587745197Gotta ask Jonas.>>587745250Yeah right, lol.
>>587742875ii ne
>>587745110it's a perfect 7/10 game
>>587745387Funny meme, I clapped.
>>587745150Well time to hire all those 5Allheals quest pawns then.It's not a big deal, just annoying that eyes go red 5 minutes after next rest every time.
>>587744381But that's a good thing? They fight much better and aggressively when DP'd.
Sorcerer, Archer or Thief for a Simple pawn?
>>587745462Mine does nothing and gets headaches
>>587745462>DP'dD-d-double penetrated??
>>587745618Then their DP is still at an early stage, let'em cook.
>>587744265Itsuno haters are retarded, both have flaws.
if your pawn wears jeweled sandals, rangers tights, staunch sabatons, or red overknee boots i WILL go into photo mode and oogle them and maybe touch my pippi
>>587745462They don't. Also waste half of the short fight standing there holding their head or stand there holding head before they will get hit by something big in a long fight.
>>587745819'ppi
>>587745819I understand.
>>587745440>>587744498>>587744381crisis averted, I hadn't quit out of the game yet after having started unmoored, so I just deleted my save locally and disabled steam cloud sync, then downloaded the most recent sync from the steam cloud. rip 4h of progress but it is what it is.
>>587744265I always feel like Itsuno has great ideas and maybe also technical design knowledge, but he is just god awful at project management or has 0 soft skills.He is like a negative charisma version of Kojima where his subordinates were just begrudgingly implementing his ideas and changes while putting in 30% of the work
>>587745580Simple sorcerer might be less frustrating than calm
an anon told me DP pawns become savage eventually, was he lying...?
>>587745819phew... safe with fleetstride cuisses
>>587746010Anon lies constantly
>>587745867kek
>>587744265Itsuno’s obsession with making a “never touches the enemy” playstyle ruined both DMC5 and DD2.

>>587745028How alike a Beastren for your mind to devolve merely to base desires of flesh. Sometimes sin takes a man's mind, and he must act upon it. Such a man is a lesser man but he remains above that of Beastren.
>>587745580Simple sorc with maelstrom and meteoron
>>587745819My pawn wears braided boots so she's safe.
>>587746460Lmao.

>>587746767Based!
>>587730173Okay, but hear me out: what if she had clothes on?
>>587742452This is not as bad as a beastren.
I hate hard mode. I hated it in the first game too. Now I have to NG+ damnit.
>>587743963No. non unmoored lost rites > norgan (to be able to rest there) > unmoored lost rites > ng+ > NorganThe Unmoored rites are way easier than you are being led to believe.
>>587747097Enjoy your santa suit
>>587743963Yes.>>587747107Don't do this, specially not on Hard Mode, you will get graped.
>>587746767So weird to me that he's Cid in FFXVI.
>>587744265Ideally, the two of them co-directing a whole game together would have been really, really good
>>587746739I would take the first one just for Tidal rage but the second one is way more appealing to deal with demons, substantially so. Titanic cleave can power through lesser demon swipe attacks.
>>587746739I'd say 2 because Titanic Cleave is that good. If you can get Titanic Cleave and Mighty Sweep on one roll that'd be perfect.Razing Ruin and Tidal Rage are very flashy but I just never find myself using them over the auto attacks + tackle
grand decanter would be so much better if it could latch onto the next target in AOE radius once the fixed one is succ'd dry

>>587747097I liked it in DD1 but maybe I was more masochistic then? Definitely more of a nolifer with nothing better to do. I do fondly remember leaving the first town at night and being almost immediately one-shot by an off-camera goblin. As I died, the tutorial message about healing came up.
>>587745819Pics or fake and gay.
>>587747261Are you guys just bad at the game? It really is not that hard. At that point in the game you probably have like 40 wakestones in your storage too. It's not even possible to fail with over 80 IQ.

>>587747513guh
>>587747214GET DOWN MR. 'PPI
>>587744265The thing with Japanese studios compared to American or European ones is that they still have the cultural quirk where speaking poorly about your employer (or previous employer) is considered a cardinal sin.Because of this, you'll rarely ever see employees speaking negatively about any issues they ran into during development as a result of the higher-ups.This is frustrating, because it leaves me unable to know exactly what issues the team may or may not have run into during development of the base game, and therefor I don't think it is fair to assign blame based on guesswork.A good chunk of development occurred during the pandemic, so stay-at-home could have made things very messy for a while.There is also the fact that they likely had to do a shit ton of engine work to make RE Engine work in an open-world setting, which is the exact same problem that we know they ran into with MT Framework while developing DD1.We do know that they had a decent development cycle and we know the budget was relatively good based on the leaks a few years back, but maybe the above problems kneecapped them either way.Or maybe it was Itsuno. Maybe he mismanaged it, maybe he lost track of time or tried to make sweeping changed mid-development that ruined momentum and led to what felt like yet another unfinished game.The problem is that I doubt we'll ever know for certain. We don't get many developer postmortems from Japan like we do in the West, and if we do, you know they'll sugar-coat the hell out of any issues and shy away from pointing any fingers so as to avoid offending directors, producers, or company executives.Because of all of this mystery, my thoughts on him as a director are basically in limbo at this point. He gave us the Dogma IP, and I will forever be grateful for that, but I don't think we'll ever know how much blame he needs to shoulder for DD2.
>>587747727I AM bad, but I am curious about how it went for you, how long did the Eye take? No one in the party had any gear better than Lost Rites gear? Because I did try going at it with maxed out Lost Rites gear and it took me like 5 minutes just to remove 1 health bar and pawns were getting 1 or 2 shot by anything, so I said fuck it and went to the DLC.By Lost Rites gear I mean the stuff you can get from the Pre-UW dungeons by the way, nothing from the Ephemeral keys obviously and you did this on Hard mode?
this place is so cool. I wish there was more to do here
>>587748160>>587747452They were elves, once
>>587745819Looking's free. Any more and you might have to pay for it.
>>587748272Yeah, some really memorable locations in the DLC.
>>587748442>mightwhat a slut. how much RC for a lap dance
>>587747969Wait, do pawns actually cast Benediction or are you playing Mage?
>>587729798>DD2DA>PC>Dangan>lvl 60-something>Straightforward Guardian Fighter>0MKY0NYH6N64>Enjoys flying into free and helping others do the sameApparently the DLC upgrade to Gutting Skewer makes it work on small enemies without needing a stagger first? Maybe that's why that one anon said it was great on fighter pawns.
>>587748610Yeah, they do.
>>587748610She's very good with upkeep of it. >>587730173I'm using Custom Difficulty Tweaks so it helps a lot
>>587748771Holy shit, do they pick up other downed pawns with it!?
>Ring of ReversalWhat were they thinking?
>>587749087I put them on beastren peasants so I can kill them more than once.
>>587749087kek
>>587749087Same thing they were thinking when they decided every consumable is now a wakestone.
>>587749087"Lets make a ring that's OP on warrior and useless on every other class."
>>587748212The first time I fought the evil eye it took like 30+ minutes. However, this was primarily because of two reasons: 1. My party had low magic defense so they kept dying. Solved this by looking at pawn stats before hiring. 2. I realized that the Eye is super weak to High Hagol because the blizzard hits ALL of its tentacles and freezes it and breaks the shield over and over. So with this in mind, it's just a matter of staggering it and dealing damage in that window.So when you know this, it's probably one of the easiest fights in the game.
>>587749370The smug smile of cruel beastren.
>>587749457Would look better with clothing.
>>587749457
>>587743842>>587744307>>587746282I always enjoy seeing Roi helping other Arisen out! Too bad she's being a lazy bum in like half the pictures I've seen so far, but what can you do.

>>587729798>Oriana>DD2DA, PC>Calm Fighter 433+, Head 23>FVPOKERFCXAI>Give Bunch of Flowers x1 for Ring of Reversal
>>587748857I think so. I saw a pawn die today and just as I started to sprint towards her she just stood up. It's the first time I hired a mage with benediction so I didn't see it in action before but it's growing on me. It seems it might be pretty useful if you're fighting death or if you want battle frenzy on your pawns without using the ring of reversal.
>>587730267sniff
>>587750068There's also an armour augment that auto-revives about half the time for the enhanced version.

>>587750194It could be either of those two I guess.
>>587749956She's obsessed with pigs. Has been since I taught her to play pig-catch. People say this game has no training, but no other simple pawn will play pig-catch with me, and it took almost 15 minutes of throwing pigs at her to get her to catch it and throw it back when the gaje first came out.>>587750068I tried it out on her a while back when most of the pawns here were running BFIV^, and kept it since it works so well. I'm surprised EVERY mage pawn isn't running it, honestly.
>>587749087It's for people that don't want to think. DD is a quirky, niche franchise, but it's still fairly casual.
>>587750424Always good to have all the bases covered!
>>587729798>DD2>PC>Elena>144>Fighter>E6UPUEH76J5M>CalmQuest is bunch of flowers for 5 allheals.
>>587730173Are people REALLY upset at her corset, or is this just a meme?
>>587745812Agree. itsuno has flaws but it's clear he has a precise vision for his games.The real retard at Capcom is the combo of Tokuda and RyozoFumbling MH after World was something most people could genuinely not even envision, and yet they managed to do it.Dragon's Dogma (both 1 and 2) were rushed out and mistreated by Capcom, MH was given everything and they still failed.
Do you do escort quests for random NPCs you find out in the wild?
>>587750939I would prefer her naked if you're asking.
>>587749826>>587750401She's been a big help, my main pawn flips between either calling her lazy or congratulating her on stabbing stuff.
>>587750939I don't mind it personally. Corset used to be a meme pre dlc when 90% of random pawns were a face23 elf wearing the corset.
That was pretty insane, and it wasn't even the most hardcore Vortex. We didn't get any Dullahans, Blemmyae, or anything like that. Just a Lesser Demon and Barbatos. I also forgot to give them any curatives, so Subira and Knight ended up getting downed, mostly due to bad luck. Ghislaine, on the other hand, survived all the way to the end. Absolute beast!All in all, three Fighters make for a pretty powerful team when they work together. Enemies went down ridiculously fast.
>>587751036At most I clear out mobs that are harassing travellers. I have things to do and places to be!
How many of you actually play hard mode?
>>587751289I really wish it was in parts
That grab was kinda bullshit to be completely honest. Still, we got the son of a bitch.
>>587751439I have stopped noticing a difference and I'm only level 50
>>587751439I did on release but didn't turn it back on for NG+
>>587751439With how easy the game is I can't imagine not playing it. It's still way easier than dark souls even on hard because in dark souls you have limited flasks and healing in DD2 you have infinite healing if you want too.
>>587751439I switched to it the moment it became available.
>>587750939Personally I don't like it, it looks way too trashy.
>>587750939I'm not meming when I say I want to make a litter with Engel
>>587751552Yeah the hitbox on that attack is stupid
>>587751628Hard mode doesn't make the game harder, just more tedious.
>>587751439I do. I wanted more difficulty before the dlc dropped and I got what I wanted.
>>587751172Then how would she have statching beast's foil?>>587751289Yeah, I figured most random face 23s are in untailored T5 dresses these days so it would be okay.>>587751704What would work better then while still fitting the horns and stole?
>>587751439I started a fresh file on hard mode when the dlc came out and did a main pawn only run all the way till the end. Devouring rancors are crazy with only a party of 2
>>587751439I swapped over a few days ago. Playing as MS in a party of ranged pawns, dealing with rancor hordes has been kind of painful.
That was one of the most badass things I've ever seen a pawn do.
>>587751769 me too
>>587751439I've played nothing but hard mode since the release of DA2. I also stopped using battle frenzy weapons and that has made me enjoy this game more again.
>>587751892stole?
>>587751252Honestly, I'm pretty chuffed at how on brand she is with both the laziness and the stabbing. She's kind of a recurring character for me, I've played variations of her in MMOs and in tabletop. My first playthrough was *as* her, now she's my main pawn.
>>587751910I feel like they balanced hard modo for a full party, expecting you to take any advantage you can get basically.
>>587752056This. Frienzy ruins the fun for everything except Satan. 1-shotting stuff gets old after a bit.>>587752086Her cape.
>>587752086A stole is a wide ribbon-like shawl, often used in various religions but also as women's fashion.
>>587751964Very nice.
>>587751892I'm not sure what you are going for, you want her to dress skimpy or you want her to look like a demon? It's not a one size fits all.>What would work betterI would try.Immaculate BlazeGravecloth WrapFinal RoarAnimistic RobeEdified Vestment
>>587752126Yeah they definitely intended for you to have a full party. It's pretty apparent early on in the dlc with beercan camps everywhere. But I like to challenge myself and stuck to my me and main pawn only playthrough and it was very rewarding
>>587752221Often used *as clerical vestments in various religions, forgot that bit.
>>587751846I didn't realize how stupid it was until I saw that happen.
Holy shit wth is that Corrupted Dullahan fight jfcAnd I was trying to do it as Archer with no fighters even critting I was doing absolutely nothing against this thingHad to quit it, I'm coming back with parries for this faggot
Lucien is very suspicious of Baka
>>587752359I'm tempted to do an Infinite Cringe-inspired fighter Arisen/thief main pawn hardmode duo only playthrough, that looks fun.
>>587751848I think hard mode can still feel bad at certain spots because the game's balancing is still very inconsistent.
He took the full force of that breath attack not once but twice.
>>587729798Made Rory a glass canon let me know how it goes please KWB165M3B190
>>587752345The goal was "edgy and cool, but still cute."
>>587751848Just like most Japanese game "hard modes". Slap on ridiculous resists, absurdly bloated HP pools and crank up the damage output, done.
>>587752825Well, that corset is neither of those things.
>>587744265I just think Kinoshita is better with budgeting. I dont blame Itsuno though, he delivered an AA game with a shoestring budget. Also half of the dev time was probably used to wrangle the engine to work with an open world.
>>587752549What's infinite cringe? A duo only run without a mage is kinda painful desu. You're gonna be in your menu eating roborants quite often
>>587752983This is a pretty fair take.
>>587753006Aussie DD-obsessed aughtist youtuber.
>>587744265I don't know or care who either of those people are. I just play videogames. Nice goon pic btw
This was the cherry on top, I don't think I've ever managed to successfully used the pawn boost but this was the perfect time. Cool as fuck, perfect way to finish the devouring vortex.
>>587753110Didn't she have a hissy fit and quit youtube?
>>587753305No?
>>587753204I always kill the wings first while he's still on all fours doing melee attacks. Trying to kill the wings while he rotates between vomiting ghouls into meteor rain into homing bullets in more ghouls again is painful
>>587752825Try some trickstet gesr maybe? How about the chestpiece with some sideboob that the dragonforged sells?
>>587753305No? She took a break, but came back a while ago.
There better be some legwear in the totally upcoming tropical DLC that has anklets and toe rings
>>587753305Did the usual of "leaving" for a bit then came back.
>>587753357Bastard kept moving and I couldn't stay on top. I had better luck taking down the head and arms first.
>>587752894I never want a Hard Mode that just refuses to reward you for playing the game "properly". It's the same nonsensical signature as Atlus programming bosses with RNG that queues actions that are impossible to prevail against even when you're equipped to the main gimmick accordingly.
does anyone else get weird film grain on the skin, particularly the face, when a lighsource is on them and your camera is some distance away?
>>587753850Part and parcel of modern lighting engines. Enjoy.

>>587753850Yes, and it's driving me up the fucking wall
>>587753892>>587753893>>587753912thank you for confirmations, anons, it also was driving me up a wall.
>>587753487If there's another DLC coming, it's probably going to be set in Hyperborea, which is a temperate region.
>>587748160he...he looks like me. i...thank you
>>587753850don't get me fucking started on it, have had so many screenshots ruined cuz of it
Wish I had done the Archer/Magick Archer trial as an Archer or with Flamefang equipped.I was unable to target any of the pillars reliably.
I forgot to tailor the armor but whatever, lesser dragon down too. The blue must flow!
>>587754021Elves wearing toe rings...
I refuse to believe anyone actually enjoys Magick Archer.
>>587754335What's wrong with it?
>>587754335I do. It's like a better Mage.
What being in one's element does to a mothafucka.
The stats are garbage but I think the skills are godly. >>587754335It's pretty underwhelming in Norgen until you get the Maister kills. It's actually a pretty decent support class when paired with warfarer.
>>587754021Capcom doesnt really do multiple dlcs, just look at monster hunter.
>>587754462Celia's element is a ball pit or bouncy castle.
>>587754531Isn't Milds getting a 2nd DLC? If it is it would make sense though, Monster Hunters always sells like crazy.
>she's 160cm? ZAMN
Also, I can't because this T4 armor has better stats than most of the T5 armor rolls.
>>587754335I like chucking large chunks of ice at faces
>>587754335It's weird. Everything about it should be cool but it just feels lackluster in every regard. Also lmao at how they nerfed the shit out of Ricochet for lost rites dungeons
>>587754863INSANE.KNOCKDOWN.
>>587745819I hope you like the 'emotionless' tag cause my pawn will have no idea why you're doing that, she doesn't even know what sex is according to the chart
>>587754903>Also lmao at how they nerfed the shit out of Ricochet for lost rites dungeonsMotherfucker, they did? I THOUGHT it was behaving weirdly.
>>587754863This shit does like zero knockdown on hard mode, even with 2 knockdown rings equipped.
>>587752816And/or if anyone has a moment to check if he is showing up in the rift search I had to fix my cloud save
>>587754335Poor baby can't just Ricochet Hunter or Martyr's Bolt everything to insta-win?
>>587754990I also like the 'corruption' tag
>>587754802>no Survival Instinct^Into the trash
>>587754651I think its actually the first big dlc, I might be wrong though.
>>587755034That's why I don't play on no fun allowed mode.>>587755003Yeah, they made it so corrupted enemies absorb them so they can't bounce around.
>>587755034Are you sincerely whining that Hard Mode had the audacity to be hard?
>>587754651Milds is only getting Assdance and that is the standard G-rank expansion for MonHun games
Anyone else reload immediately when the dog spawns on the first wave and removes your food buffs?
>>587755113I hate Magick Archer in both games.
>>587755289Nah I just power through
>>587755073Works on my machine.Also what did you DO to the guy, he's covered in scars!
>>587755270No, why are you being retarded?Also, there's still nothing hard about hard mode, and classes like warrior can still knockdown reliably. Don't act like it's somehow a good thing that this tool now fails at the only thing it exists for lol.
>5.7% completed BBI>4.0% completed NorganAre we the autists?
>>587755539Always were.
>>587755124YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER
>>587755539to be fair, BBI is silly with its boss placements post first daemon kill.
is it just hard mode things that your regular attacks don't do anything and the only way to damage enemies is with skills or using the heavy attack on flinching/downed enemies? I can't remember what normal mode was like.
>>587755539
>>587755270If it were an actual hard mode, you might have a point, but it's not. It's just tedious.
>>587754863That's a fucking boulder

Please bear with her.I farmed Giga Stan and upgraded her gear for better(?) survival and demon deletion (BF1, demon counter 3, crit shot, Gigantus Vim^, Health Boost IIIx2, Ring of Inversion...)My tests in devouring rancor and giga stan were ok (a few death here and there).
>>587755767"Hard" mode increases their defenses/damage absorption/HP to such an absurd degree that yes, regular attacks do nothing. Normal mode, you can still actually do appreciable damage with it.
I feel bad for those Camp in____ x3 times quests, I ain't doing that shit dude.
>>587756078In my experience, archers are either so super fucking squishy they go down several times in a single regular vortex, or they're absolute evasion gods that are the only ones with an untouched loss bar after Satan Sr. fights while still shitting out ridiculous damage.
>>587755451I like how you say blatantly stupid shit and call other people retarded. I wish I could be so incompetent yet so confident. You should give suicide a try.
>>587756078KILL WHAT!?
Looking at the gap between MH world and wilds, we could have DD3 2031ish. I dont think we will get DDO2 anytime soon, the re engine isnt built for a MMO.
>>587756112Eat your meat, Arisen
>>587756354What about what he said was stupid? Use your words.
total elven dominance.
>>587756354Wow you're getting quite emotional, huh?It's factually true that knockback is the only reason you'd ever have arctic bolt on your bar, and the fact that it's useless in hard mode does in no way improve the game, let alone make hard mode any harder.
>>587756425YOU EAT YOUR MEAT!
>>587756389Quest, duh.
>>587754462
>>587756489I've seen her naked.
>>587755950That's a weird way of saying Hard Mode is just harder in a way that's not fun, but that also explains the moronic whining. Reminds me of the random YouTube video I saw of someone that modded in a "Nightmare Mode" and complained that it wasn't trivial to play.
>>587756489Celia is a gremlin and you can't convince me otherwise.
>>587756354>>587756690It is the slurper.
>>587755408It's been rough trying to survive all the vortexes at level 50 we're all beat up and barely making it haha! Thank you for checking I'm glad it's working still
>>587756518Ah, yes, the "say stupid shit and accuse anyone that points out your stupid shit as emotional" line you pull out every time you say something idiotic.>arctic boltIt's almost like you're intentionally ignoring that it has an upgraded version to make your half-assed argument more accurate.>waaaah, why isn't this an "I win" button on Hard ModeYou faggots want participation trophies.
>>587755539Yes, there are probably just a few private discord channels to boost pawn ratings that are more autistic than ddg.
>>587756826Now I kind of want to see a comic where a pawn gets summoned, and asks the other pawns what kind of a master their Arisen is, and then there's a closeup of this scarred motherfucker with a thousand yard stare.
Also take your daughter to work day.
>>587757001it was never an i win button lol, and again there are still other abilities in the game that knock down reliably, so what's your excuse for those being "easy mode"? you're just an idiot lmao
>>587756112They're pretty easy actually, and sometimes easier than killing that one enemy that refuses to spawn. You just rest at every bonfire you see.>>587756406DDON and MHO did alright for MMOs. But it was the era where everyone realized they don't make enough money and killed them, and so I don't think they're coming back (specifically and generally).
Self censorship
What is the easiest cheesiest way to farm Satan and vortexes? I see nips use some kinda magic archer skill but I've never used ma so I have no idea how to delete health bars fast. I want to grind efficiently and easily

>>587757107The children yearn for the mines
>>587757645Critical draw? What's draw in this? That feels like more aiming than ma is ma not faster with autoaim too?
I am so disappointed that this snowball phased through Satan and did no damage, the fucker was on 1% health and should have died. In my headcanon that snowball was the killing blow.
What's the deal with the main pawn only dungeon? I've looted like 3 steel urchins and black matter warrior weapons so far. the fuck?
>>587758229Critical shot, I misremembered the name of the augment.
>>587758321Carry that stuff towards the end, trust me.
nothing hits the spot like a pawn heav'ly shot
>>587729601Huh, I didn't know he had heterosexual eyes...
>>587758229>>587758356I'm talking about archer, not MA.
>>587757278I absolutely agree on the MMO part. I am dreading that we might get a live service title instead.
>>587758321That and all the heavy packs littered around might lead you to think the dungeon wants your carry weight to increase for some reason, but what could it be?
>>587758602Yes I just thought ma would be easier and more efficient than archer>>587758356>>587758356My bad I thought critical draw was shorthand for something but I get it know
Don't destroy bridges, anons.
>>587758863I don't know about the supposed MA cheese, but my best guess is that Harmonic Pentad has some kind of unintended interaction with something that makes it hit a lot harder? It's pretty good as it is, but it only takes off like a bar at most.

>>587696191Underrated
>>587757192There are zero skills that are "reliable" at the same standard you've determined glacial bolt doesn't meet. The general level of vague, moronic claims that gets posted here daily leads me to believe your mental gymnastics is some disingenuous shit like "well, when I stack all of Warriors charge abilities with Arc of Might, I get a stun every time the enemies run into it" with "well, I'm going to quick fire the upgraded version once, and I missed so it's dogshit" and that's before even addressing that what I can infer of your concept of "reliable" doesn't even exist in Normal Mode.
>>587758875
>>587759230lol
What rings do you use for warrior?
>>587759676I just got 2 inversion rings on.
>>587759064I don't know myself or what norgan upgrades there are for the skills maybe that's it? I think there is like a life taking arrow cheese but does that have an enhanced version? It looked like some holy / yellow spells for ma where what the cheese strats use
>>587758379>>587758757ok I'm confused. I reached the end of the dungeon. and now? what use are these supposed to have now? the dungeon ended the same as any other
>>587759868did you find the lich and the cyclops?
>>587759868Who was carrying most of the weight? And did they reach "Heavy" or higher?

>>587760758No I don't have battle frenzy, how much knockdown do the rings give you, like 100 points?
>>587743020What a fucking great lineup godamn
>>587760893Yes, if you have agressive recovery you could also try rings of predominance, but they might have a lower uptime on warrior.
Sphinx's light crystal thingies have holy magic runes on them. There's "elvish" text but it's really low res.
>>587754081bait
>>587761105I've been doing archer memery so I had two rings equipment, unless you have a mage babysitting you the uptime is not great.
In the dungeon where you have to get so fat you break the floor, what's the point of the dead cyclops? At first I thought the lich would resurrect it and there'd be a zombie cyclops. But no, it's just randomly there, dead.
>>587761351The lich does resurrect it. And you can guide it to 2 of the walls so it can break them.
>>587761351Pull the lich into the room with the cyclops. There are two walls it can break, so bait out attacks against the walls between the statues.
>>587755539I still haven't finished the base game and I bought it at launch. Also haven't finished DA2 and I bought that a few days after launch.
>>587761125The sphinx is such a weird creature, you can't really kill it. It simply fades away like a spirit.
>>587761669Or like my hopes and dreams.
wish we could get a pocket version of these like the medusa head.

>>587744265>hate ItsunoCouldn't possibly. I'm starting to hate Kinoshita if anything, what he did to the fast travel among other things was so utterly fucking retarded I don't want him to ever direct a mainline DD from scratch. And he was the gameplay lead, so some of the shit I took issue with from the base game may very well have been his fault, and a lot of it hasn't been addressed.Though without really knowing who did what and to what extent Capcom execs are to blame, it's hard to say.

>>587750401By the way, if anyone who's hired her has any feedback to give on her build/general performance, I'm more than happy to hear it. I'm eternally trying to tweak her to be the best li'l stabber she can be.
>>587764742>>587763980
>>587764250I'm as mad about fast travel as you are, but we have zero clues as to what might have happened internally, yes.As much as I respect Itsuno and I really love his work I truly do, he was the guy who said that travel is only boring if your game is boring, and then the game came out and it was goblins and wolves everywhere, with a combat encounter density never before seen in an open world game, and one of the portcrystals was locked behind a microtransaction (I don't think they were an issue, but I see why people were upset). That's a problem man, no matter how you spin it. Should they have made the Eternal Ferrystone optional instead of shoving it down everyone's throat? Yes. But I can't blame them either for scrambling to fix the game for literally millions of people who bought it at launch and then abandoned it.Now if he fucks up with DD3, that's when I will blame him. But I want him to have a chance to start from scratch. That being said, I still love Itsuno even if he straight up lied about the fashion dogma thing. I don't know why he did it, but it happened.
>>587764620Sven was a mother-con all along. Femanons in shambles.
>>587763324He's not into you
>>587765084Eyepatch slut getting cucked
>>587764804>even if he straight up lied about the fashion dogma thingElaborate?
>>587764250>>587764804Fast travel is something the japanese really wanted.
>>587765084But that's not me.
>>587765157>RGJ/USAT: Are you able to talk about the changes to the armor system and the reasons behind them? It seems like it has been simplified. Is the Under Armour or clothing layer gone? Will there eventually be a transmog option? And will players be able to do equipment presets? >Itsuno: So for Dragon’s Dogma 2, we changed the armor system and simplified it with the goal that people choose different things to have more visual variety. We wanted to balance it in a way so that people wouldn’t end up always choosing the same things. >In that regard, we added more variety and simplified the system. Rather than having an inner and outer, we divided the equipment for the upper half of the body and the lower half of the body. We added helms and capes. There are some presets but overall, well, something that happened in the previous game at high levels was that people would go for the same kind of equipment in the end. This time we made a conscious goal of trying to create something that even at higher levels, people would be encouraged to choose different things. So there will be some visual variety into what people were choosing. >RGJ/USAT: So you mean everybody pretty much started using the same gear and looking the same in the previous game? >Itsuno: Yeah, so because of that, we tried to make it very consciously so that the higher your level, the more variety you would be encouraged to choose from.
>>587763669>complex, nuanced and earnedlolits literally just an inflated stat
>>587763568kek
>>587765349>it's an inflated stat that means you have to shove the arms out from under a Norgan GiantThe large monster knockdowns became more nuanced and earned.
Hard mode is definitely a better way to play the game and Normalniggers are shitters in denial, I mean, the fact that Monster AI is not as aggressive or smart on Normal/Casual really shows that Hard is the best way to play, otherwise the world and combat is just fake, scripted to give you breathing room, and stupid.But I gotta admit the knockdown nerf (or more specifically the enemy knockdown resist buff) is pretty badly thought-out and misaligned. Like, enemy knockdown defense is increased 3x, while health is increased to 1.6x, so obviously minmaxers will ignore ring of vehemence and knockdown most of the time and converge on BF and rings of predominance because knockdown isn't optimal. Much faster to kill a boss than make him stagger.Should've just made knockdown resist 1.6x so it's aligned in the tradeoffs of itemization and augments like before
Disa's gonna marry Sven to a dark elf, just saying.
>>587765319I hope Capcom forced him to say shit like this... I also remember he mentioning that there would be more unique enemies like the Sphinx, now maybe he meant more unique, one-off bosses, and I guess that would fit Medusa and the Purgeners but at the same I had assumed he meant more bosses you could interact with beyond combat.
>>587765506>>587765349
>>587765767Exactly that's why Hard is not that great, at this point one might be better off just making a preset with Custom/Simple Difficulty Tweaks.It's still the best way to play the game, but it does force you into cheesier stuff or just pure muh DPS.
Dabbing on me
>>587765875Sorry your argument is dogshit. DLC introduced shit like Shearing Wind and Eviscerating Skewer. You can FORCE knockdowns. And for large enemies, things like shoving them when you force a stagger state using locational damage is emphasized. Also the main game knockdown values are part of why it became mindlessly easy too quickly. .
I'm very upset that pawns are so fucking dumb now. The combat AI is in the worst state it's ever been.
>>587765767>Monster AI is not as aggressive or smartDo we have evidence that this is actually the case? I mean I want to believe it but I don't want to cope with zero evidence. Any dataminers and stuff?
>>587764804Thing is, I didn't have a problem with the travel in the first place. You get enough portcrystals to place them where you'd want them, and if I had to choose between travel becoming somewhat unexciting after a while or skippable immediately I'd take the former. Though addressing the actual issue and not just putting a torn bandaid on it would be ideal.Even then, oxcart stopovers were a good addition. They could have literally just added that and nothing else, and I wouldn't complain. That they had to go full retard and beyond with the EF and scatter portcrystals everywhere is not just disappointing but above all extremely baffling. How does one even manage to come up with this kind of "solution", ask some literal who off nexus and they'll give you a better idea within a day.
>>587766048Better than pre DLC desu.
>>587766069It's cope.
>>587765319>we changed the armor system and simplified it with the goal that people choose different things to have more visual variety. We wanted to balance it in a way so that people wouldn’t end up always choosing the same things.Genuinely what the fuck is he retarded? It had the exact opposite effect.
>>587764804>As much as I respect Itsuno and I really love his work I truly do, he was the guy who said that travel is only boring if your game is boring, and then the game came out and it was goblins and wolves everywhereThat's why I can understand people wanting to fast travel anywhere, and I'm not one bit bothered by how much easier fast travel is in general now compared to launch, there is no point in going on foot when you will not find anything exciting beyond your first couple of hours, people would rather get to the exciting parts right away, like boss spawns or whatever, the world as it is isn't varied enough to encourage the player to go everywhere on foot.
>>587765273Zero emotion on his face. He's not impressed.
>>587766048I no longer hire mage pawns with weapon enchantments. They use them no matter what, even against enemies who have fat resistances to the element. The fix would be to hire one with all of the elemental boons, but then that's sacrificing slots better used for tonic, celerity, halidom, etc.
>>587766069I played on Hard level 1 and then Normal level 1. The difference in cooldown between actions from that first little goblinsquad was totally visible. They're SO aggro.
>>587765816100% PR talk. Itsuno would never say: We planned more but the suits didnt give us enough time and money.
>>587766205>They use them no matter what, even against enemies who have fat resistances to the element.So what? Extra damage is extra damage, even if it's minor.
>>587766203Is that the berserk symbol?
>>587766205>>587766301not to mention ice does freeze and you get mild AoE from lightning. Even one big opening from freezing the enemy can be huge.

>>587766171I miss having 7 armour slots so much
>>587766205Pact is really good since it affects the whole party and lasts a real long time. Enchantments are also a % increase instead of flat. I think the number was a 17% of your str added as magic damage
>>587766048Badges making pawns climb and grab more that badged enemy + Straightforward being LE CLIMB oriented is actual in-game malware. Will legit void a pawn.Fuck seniletsuno for locking voices with inclinations.

>>587766418So they say but I noticed they are smarter now. They are still awkward is some cases but that because what the anon working with pawn AI said, they don't see enemies or attacks. Or something along those lines.

>>587763925Every "meme" on here is forced. But that is part of the charm desu.
>>587766658I put stamina roborants on my pawns and they never touched them. Do they have to be chirugeon?
>>587766418Badge + Straightforward was a noticeable problem before the DLC, trust me.
>>587766658>>587766992Was this always in the game? I came back for the DLC and this actually baffled me. I was used to giving my pawns heals so we didn't need a mage in 1.
>>587766658Uhm... I've had my pawns use all heals...?
>>587766658Pawns will literally ask you to give them an Allheal so they can use it in moments most dire or whatever. It just takes them a while so you probably gave one to them and didn't wait long enough to see them use it
Why doesn't the new MS maister skill do any damage?
>>587767473Use all five pips on the same pawn aand it does decent holy damage on the shot right after
>>587767552Spearhand not Archer.
>>587767552MS, not MA.
>>587766203That's his post nut clarity...
>>587766992So many bad design decisions in 2 when if they were really that clueless or lost should have just ported 1:1 systems from dd1. >>587767006They may be able to eat the first tier stamina roebrant but not the fine ones. They can eat the fine health ones not the stamina ones. >>587767153Yes it sucks it was from base game/release. >>587767338>>587767457I've never had a pawn use all heals in 100s of hours of playtime I'd love to see a video and their specialization
>>587766782Knowledge chair, 7 armor slots for fashion's dogma, pawns actually learning based on player behavior as opposed to unlocking preset behaviors in 2. So much went wrong for no apparent reason. Too much dumbing down and simplifying systems when it was never overwhelming? I never got to play DDON did that have signs it was heading towards 2's direction instead of refining 1?
>>587767895If you share your pawn ID, I will hire your pawn, beat him/she/it to death and record a clip of your own companion chugging one down
>>587766658Yes they can, my pawn has either been forager and now orienteer forever and they do use them but they do have to extremely low.
Fucking kek, the lesser demon roar that stagger the undead dragon midair.
>>587767473Spearhand is all about "Darth Maul söypog boomer choreographic LE FORCE aura farming", you're not supposed to kill the enemy in an effective way.Another seniletsuno classic.
>>587766658Stop spreading misinfo.Just put an allheal into your pawn's inventory, just that, engage in a tough combat, you'll see the pawn will use it when under 10-15% health if not healed by a mage or a MA
>>587766747In my experience Warrior are unusable unless you turn then into aggro tanks, they will slash at air more often than now, it wasn't like this before, when the September patch released the difference was night and day.>>587767102Oh yeah, I have heard about that and it bet it's worse now with the boost thing but I do mean more in general combat.
>>587768519I've done this countless times and they never ever use it no matter how long they spend at 1 hp.Pawns never use allheals unless they verbally ask for one.
Bros I fucking hate this end game, it was cool at first but fuck me I farmed vortexes from level 250 to 600 and I've found exactly one head with Arcane Wisdom^ and it comes with gigantus vim, For fuck sake, it's been weeks. I've previously spent a similar time frame trying to farm Vim^ for my archer with absolutely no luck at all. I want to fucking strangle whichever cunt decided you can't trade tier 5 relics to pawns.
>>587768561So you say but I don't really believe you, it might just be some Mandela effect. If you show me a before and after MAYBE I'll believe you, otherwise it's just a "trust me bro" thing.
>>587768113>I never got to play DDON did that have signs it was heading towards 2's direction instead of refining 1?DDON actually was amazing for pawn AI in general and it gave you a lot of options, see these posts were it was being discussed>>587141869>>587142182
>>587768201Here>>587730267>>587768519>>587768313It's not misinfo that's how they are in my experience and I've never seen otherwise in mine or elses gameplay.

>>587768930im a console cuck
I think there is something specific about All-heals, you can have pawns carrying them and it seems they will not use them but if they're at very low HP and you hand one over they will use them, at least that was my experience, anything else they would use when they feel like it, except the new DLC heals it seems like.
How did we go to 4 inclinations from 9 but let's cut that down to 7 because guardian and nexus sucks and it also had primary and secondary inclinations which resulted in 7×7-7 = 42 unique combat behaviors that pawns could have..
>>587768713>>587768851Then idk. So far, the only pawn that never used an allheal was Celia. Maybe because she's a mage....
Damn, I've been getting a lot more hires since I started using the pawn search mod that lets you see which pawns are actually active. Why wasn't this a base game feature? Wtf was Itsuno thinking?
>>587768851Do not ever impersonate me again, Jonas.
>>587769373Link me
>>587769147My pawn had an Allheal in her inventory for the longest time and only ever used it once her loss gauge was very low
>>587769450https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/2518I'm low level now btw.
>>587763401Flop, but the version with the gold eyeliner that's no longer being updated.
>>587767473It's cooler that way.
>>587769924Itsuno...
Who's the most interesting looking pawn in /ddg/?
>>587768113DDON expanded on some stuff and gave you a lot more options, you practically created your own pawns' inclinations since you got to choose exactly how they behaved in combat, how aggressive they were, which skills to use when, distance to enemies, when should they prioritize healing you or themselves, it was crazy. And you could choose from like 9 voices, of course independent from the behavior you chose for them.No pawn badges or knowledge system, pawns were always good at staying alive and would use their vocations effectively.There were 9 vocations and pawns could use them all.You had the same armor and clothing system as the first game but had more jewelry slots, 5 to be exact, plus you had transmog that in my opinion is nicer than the one in DD2, you actually chose the fashion you wanted for each slot, instead of tying the transmog to the item, so you could change your actual gear and the fashion slots would remain active.There's also an affinity system and your pawn would unlock emotes and hairstyles.You had a house you could decorate and you could choose a "main" pawn that would live with you, they would wander around the house and do and say stuff.You could make 3 pawns.It did some very neat stuff.

>press d-pad up or down>pawn is now lobotomized because it affected their inclination
Very important question:Can pawns consent if they have no will of their own?
>>587770536That's DD1 only
>>587758875Tell that to this asshole
>>587770562They cannot.But DP'd pawns can.
>>587770562Only if they have DragonsplagueThe Arisen is a bugchaser
>>587770536Same thing happened in 1 but we had the minmax potions and the chair to fix that. In 2 you're just fucked.
>>587770562They will struggle and resist if you pick them up and don't have high affinity with them, so they can definitely express preferences for what's done to their bodies.
>>587770407Feh!
>>587770660Don't they struggle regardless in vanilla? I can't tell because I have the Carry me senpai mod.
Reminder that normal mode is the true Dragon's Dogma experience™
>>587770868I already played normal for 400 hours before the dlc came out. I wanna try hard now
>>587769986Franky
>>587770624Melee and ranged don't get lobotomized my dpad up because they encourage Scather and Pioneer, the best inclinations.
>>587770868Indeed, you are correct.
>>587770868The official Vision™ experience...
>>587770850Yes, my maxed out pawn still struggles after a bit if I pick her up.
>>587771003I made a Frodo pawn with pioneer and acquisitor so he sneaks around and picks up everything
>>587770180>>587769394Who tf is jonas
>>587771228WHAT THE FUCK IS A LEPPO
>>587770868Hard mode is the intended experience, once you reach stat caps.
>>587769998>>587768819Maybe I should see if I can play DDON that sounds a lot more like the DD2 I wanted.
>>587771228The racist-against-beastren "mayor" of Harve in the early parts of the game.
>>587771228The mayor that will make Harve great again.
>>587771391DDON is definitely worth playing but do know it's still an MMO at the end of the day so, though the private servers that are available now are a lot less grindy than the original.You might want to wait a bit still because the private servers still don't have 100% content restored, they're getting there but there's still some side content and the final parts of the main quest missing, there's still hundreds of hours of stuff to get through of course.

>>587771391DD1 is the DD2 I wanted (at minimum) .
I wish this had a better third passive...
>whores give different stat boosts depending on who you have sex withSOVL
But seriously. Why is there no male or beastren romance options?
>>587771929zamn gwen's pussy does THAT?!
>>587771718I quite agree.
>>587771929Does this stack with meal?
>>587771976Who were the male romance options in 1?
>>587771929So sex is meta?
>>587771976>beastren romance optionsThere were supposed to be but Hugo, Lanzo and Raghnall took priority >>587735180*raughs*
What's the best DDO private server? Dogma Rising?
>>587771929Chalamet bussy is that good!?
>>587771836slashing/striking defense is le good because it's actually a percentage reduction
>>587771929I didn't even know this was a thing.
>>587771929How long do they last tho and do they stack with the meal?
>>587772010>gwen's pussy does THAT?!Are you surprised?
>>587772329Dogma Rising is solid, Legacy is good too, can't go wrong with either.https://play.dogmarising.org/https://legacyddon.com/
>>587771831I agree, but it seems DDON took DD1 and expanded upon it and seemed to know what and why people fell in love with DD1 so much. DD2 feels more like too much time had passed and they didn't know why DD1 was as popular for as long as it was and didn't trust modern audiences to appreciate the depth DD1 had or expand upon it. >>587771705Thank you anon I will have to look into how it works. I definitely am not an MMP/grinding kinda person that's why I never followed DDON even when it was alive. Less grind is always a good thing in my opinion
>>587771929Makes sense since the whores on the top floor won't do anything with you until you spend a lot of money (I assume since I haven't bothered with eth whore house).
>>587772314Money ran out after Batthal. There are literally only two main quests there.
>>587772314>Hugo, Lanzo and Raghnallcould they be considered Jonas strongest warriors for this?
>>587772421Based we need more lolisho lovers DD2 having censored sliders brought the wrong kind of audience
>>587772523>I agree, but it seems DDON took DD1 and expanded upon it and seemed to know what and why people fell in love with DD1 so much. DD2 feels more like too much time had passed and they didn't know why DD1 was as popular for as long as it was and didn't trust modern audiences to appreciate the depth DD1 had or expand upon it.I think it's just a matter of Kinoshita being there from the start so he had the chance to shape the game the way he intended, instead of salvaging a messy base game.
>>587772513Are they masterworks all?I'll try Rising.
>>587771976I wish I could romance Jonas. (as a beastren)
>>587580984Hey, anon, finally got around to reinstalling. Face 13, base skin 2. though skin's up to your discretion.
I don't know what she's swinging at.
>>587772606>okay, looks like we ran out of budget and time>...>let's prioritize pic related instead of n*dinia anyway lolJONAStsuno...
>>587772523Yeah I think I'll play Dragon's Dogma Online soon. Never played it before.
We've got him surrounded!
>>587772716I've only played on Rising and it was good, Legacy came later and it always looked promising but I was too deep in Rising to start over in another server but I have heard good things about it.
Which skin exposes the clavicle more? The fact that they are barely there is infuriating.
>>587771228Some retard
>>587773053Kek, bastard ain't going anywhere.
>>587769373He unironically thought it would have the repeatable staying power of the first game after he made a timed endgame and made NG+ delete all your custom fast travel points, and at launch I'm pretty sure some of the ones that are placed in major locations weren't there and were added later (I swear there wasn't one at the excavation site for example). I could be wrong about the last one but clearing the custom ones was still a bad choice. I don't know if there's a mod to retain them but like I said in another post I got a mod that turns campfires and riftstones into fast travel points so my personal game is a lot more enjoyable now.

>>587772421I'm not a pedo but...
>>587773824>Friday>but Monday is two days away so it's basically already Monday'tis over
>>587772770Wouldn't you be cheating on Rothais and Hal?
Took a break from Norgan, put on my lost rite set and did the last dungeon without restoring HPs on Hard.Pretty challenging even with this gear but really fun, cleared it on my 4th try (almost failed it again towards the end). I had 1300 strength and around 1650 defense. One ring for Strength, the other I switched between Undead and Drake extra damage.Personally BY FAR the biggest motherfuckers are Room 4 (Griffin) and Room 5 (Lich + Lesser Drake). If anything goes slightly wrong, the time needed to clear them can easily double or triple, removing a fuck ton of your HPs before you reach even half the dungeon.I didn't know if restoring your own pawns HPs was allowed, so I had to resummon my pawn and replace the other two with the ones in the cells after the DuallahDestroyed the Evil Eye with fire enhancement from my pawn, poison from GS and Heavenward Sunder, the tentacles went down super quickly.Managed to cut Medusa's head at the very last bit of health. Bit sorry to insta-kill the Sphinx but with those HPs it would have been a fucking nightmare to deal with her.Now that I got the achievement I could try to do it again without the head, tho probably using Archer.
>>587773783You are correct, the one at Volcanic Island Camp, plus the one at Melve and Checkpoint Rest town were added in a patch later.The one at Bakbattahl was also added in a patch.>NG+ delete all your custom fast travel pointsHate this a lot.
>>587774053Good job anon
>>587774053That's fucking crazy, you almost didn't make it. Good job. So did you used the medusa head on the sphinx?
>>587772523Yeah... I'm just not really interested in the typical MMO stuff.
>>587774419Yeah, I like sphinx and with Warrior she is doable with good positioning, but with those HPs every hit would have been a KO and I only had like 15 healing items left, so going through 3 phases would have been risky.
>>587769986I enjoy the thin cat
>>587775336Me too, she's so gangly and awkward it's endearing
>>587769986Mine, because I made her exactly the girl I want to marry and have potentially life threatening amounts of sex with
>>587775539I dare you to post her
>>587774053Che bello!
>>587774154>>587773783Honestly I think limited time travel would work best with infinite stones but only a few travel points (main cities) and the crystals that you put down yourself being one-time use (once used, they stay there).
>>587769986One of the goblins or orcs.
Are there still loss gauge penalty if Benediction is casted via the grimoire?
>>587775603I like skinny dorky girls who barely have curves
>>587775710Well Divine Sanctuary still sucks up all your stamina for Paean so I assume the Benediction books do the same.Never tested it though, seems interesting. I'll give my survival instinct^ zero loss gauge pawn one to test it out
>>587775731Cute
>>587772689I was trying to make my arisen a small boy from the start, but those sliders really ruined small characters in general. Even the smallest height is still as tall as most NPCs. Can't be bothered to use mods for it.
I can't even kill a corrupted Hobgobbo as a a fighter without dying on hard.
>>587776004I tried this and decided to come back with Norgan gear later.

>>587776004>SphinxMother
>>587776004This was me on my fresh save starting the dlc content at level 20
>>587776004This quest is fucked up at the level you get it
>>587776004This fight is brutal, what Level are you and what's your gear? They give you this quest extremely early and you kind of need base endgame gear to do it.
>>587776004You should probably be blocking more when you're almost dead. Not sure how well it'd work, but I completed it pretty early with thief. Barely did any damage, but between dodging, reviving pawns, and abusing heals at 0 HP I was able to get it done. There's a headband with good stats for where you are in the lost rites nearby too.

>>587778792Does savagery stack 4x like periapts or only once?
>>587778792Very interesting, do you know exactly how long does savagery and the orienteer meal buff lasts?

Who bakes the baker if the baker is already baked?
>>587778754Ackchyually Fahrenheit are not from the US (the creator of the temperature scale, was a German-Dutch scientist born in Gdańsk).The more you know.
>>587778436It's not quite the same, you can't really lewd the pregmata loli (without mods) while you could lewd loli pawns with skimpy outfits if you could make them.>you could lewd them in the first game!Yeah, it was a different time and guess who directed the first game?
>>587778962Savagery extract is 5 mins I think. Camp buff is 24 mins, Orienteer adds cold res and 5% to every other category, doesn't extend the time. (so Aged Beast Steak goes from 15% all stats to 20% all stats)>>587778925I'm pretty sure it is only once
>>587779415Outstanding, thanks a lot.
>>587779391Itsuno didn't even think about that shit when he made 1, only realized years after release that people made loli pawns. He was focused on pushing his project out. Which is why 12 years later he corrected that.Look at DMC3 and then DMC5, look at the art direction. People change.

>>587769974Nigga it's a DA skill, what Itsuno.
>>587780309Only the arisen can use them, so no, it doesn't. Which also makes the Bakbattahl crystal which was added shortly after launch the most out of place, because the furries hate anything to do with that. They didn't even put it where the pawn guild is, it's right at the damn entrance.
