RepostingA little bit of mod news:Reframework has been updated to work with the September patch.Can confirm that Optiscaler 0.9.4 and Reshade 6.8.0 work well alongside Reframework.Mods that use Reframework might or might not work, modders might need to update them, I've been using these mods and they work well, but they are relatively simple mods.It looks like mods that use .pak files will currently not work, more aughtistic info about .pak mods directly from some modders:>no .pak mods work anymore because Capcom has completely changed the way the game reads .pak files.>Previously, new official content gets added as .pak files, with the June update bringing it to re_chunk_000.pak.patch_015.pak>However, as of today (September 1st/2nd), everything's bundled up into a single huge pak file, which is re_chunk_000.pak, while making everything that followed into empty, dummy files. This is why the update is 60GB because they recompiled everything into one file. >This change makes it so that the game will not read any pak files past re_chunk_000.pak, which is a massive change to how mods have worked for DD2 in the past 2 years>The way Fluffy Mod Manager installs mods is by adding additional pak files and automatically ordering them for the game to read, currently pak files won't cause black screen, but that's because they are skipped completely. Fluffy may need to find a way to make this work again>UPDATE: REframework nightly got an update which includes its own pak loader now. If this is the path forward, all the pak making tools and Fluffy Mod Manager need to be updated to install pak files in the new folder to be loaded.

>>2910128>>2910144>>2910163I'm really enjoying the Warrior buffs with this patch. They even buffed Indomitable Lash's damage so it feels like a good option for downed monsters now.
cyclops for aslan. brightness and exposure turned way the fuck upunedited https://files.catbox.moe/ctj645.mp4>>2910169ive noticed the lag between the shoulder bash and another attack is like half as long. i like the tweaks to the attack timings >>2910183i like talking screenshots there so much i have a dedicated port crystal lol
>>2910219CUTE
>>2910221
>>2910221>>2910224Sorry I did not mean to quote, have an old fishy
so what is everyone doing with their 2 (two!!) extra abilities?I swapped heavenward sunder to indomitable lash since they said they buffed it, otherwise those have been my core 4 and then I added launch and flare. I'd love to use magic archer skills but I think 4 weapons is my personal limit on warfarer, gets so annoying to cycle through them all
My fresh playthrough pawn
>>2910243trying out catapult and diluvian strike shenanigans
ferrystones ferried for zenon before i double up on lesser drake reward
They really should give you an inn discount if you have a keeper as your beloved.
I kinda hate that there's 550k worth of player housing in the game that you have to re-buy every playthrough if you want them.
Can anyone on PC and using M&K jump on the change hairstyle menu and tell me how your scroll wheel behaves? For me it's not zooming in or out, it just moves the character to the left or the right as I scroll.
>>2910339works fine for me
>>2910219bnuy
What is it about beastren girls!?
>>2910028Does .lua works?
didnt find a lesser dragon sadly
>>2910361Figured it out, it was Reframewok FOV option messing with the zoom, I had forgotten that FOV slider was kind of janky.>>2910452The few mods I'm using are all .lua so those seem fine but you should still check each mod nexus page to be sure.
>>2910474New expansion dragons should have glowing dragon orbs between hind legs as a weakspot, you slap them until they burst and release extra treasure.
I wanted to make an Asa Mitaka pawn but the hair mod is broken
>>2910020PCCelia update: anon gifted her scandalous clothing..Level 14, new saveMagePlease don't teach her anything too silly.. Thanks anons!RM0VK9GFNV6O
I think the area round Melve is my favorite in the game. Shame you don't really go there all that much fairly quickly into the story.
>>2910198How did Aslan do, I'm hoping he was as much of a beast as he is in my own game
>>2910448I'm still considering switching the two new skill slots to the remaining elemental spells. Because it's funnier when Pipper doesn't have Halidom. And Argent Tonic is strong, but it's a little random when mages like to cast it, too unreliable to usually save you when you need it.
>>2910243I don't really know what to do with Archer and two new skills. Mostly because the standard bow skills seem to overlap a bit (Tempest/Manafold and Deathly/Lyncean Sight). And then there's the Arrow skills I doubt anyone uses. Though I'm at least thinking of updating to Blighting Arrow after some testing.
Warfarer still need Rearmament to change weapons?
>>2910562Nyes

Damn it's nearly over already?
rip, wanted to help with some lesser dragon kills but it seems like they fixed the respawn glitch at the tower.
New REFramework just droppedAlso: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1434
>>2911017The point of no turning back is when a dude says "uhum you look tired you should probably wink wink nudge nudge consider if you really want to go forward or not". And then it's time to check everything you haven't explored yet and combine all ripe ingredients.
>>2911159i remember ignoring that guy cause he says it while you're fucking chasing after those other fags, then got to the dragon and he had Ulrika's dad as my beloved. Had to reset to a previous inn save, which was 8 hours earlier. Wasn't all bad anyway, cause it made me realize i had actually missed lots of shit including wan-on-wan man, which means he also wasn't at the tower when i went there first time
How do I make my second playthrough way harder? Delete the infinite teleport stone and only bring 1 pawn with me?

For me it's not zooming in or out, it just moves the character to the left or the right as I scroll.I have no mods and the wheel is behaving differently. Rather than zoom in and out when equipping clothes or armor, it cycles through the clothes or armor selections, so I can't zoom in or out on my character anymore. Unless this was an intended change?

bro found his home
>>2910169Wait they buffed Warrior?
stupid cunting arisens putting barrel helmets on their beautiful pawns
>>2910169warrior is big strongeverything flows together nicely
Getting ready with this dark arisen for Dark Arisen
I keep forgetting to take fight photos
>>2912290What a nice looking lad :)
>>2910169They need to buff some other warrior skills too. Diluvian and Windstorm feel so ass to use. Hopefully tier 3 can save them.
>>2912313Thank you :)Show your lads or lasses?
>>2912334BUNNY NOOOOOO
>>2912345It's ok, bun survived.Warrior is clearly still weak and needs another buff.
>>2912334>Tis massive... and it blinds us to what lies beyond
Pawn isn't as "kindly old man" as I intended, I think. Might wind up using that edit book later.
>>2912419honestly he kind of looks like a stuck up scholar.
>>2912419
Don't fight the corrupted beast as a trickster.
>>2912601I literally did this 2 hours ago. It was a dogshit experience and my pawns did 100% of the fighting while I watched from a perched position like a cuck. Trickster is a horrible class I'm like level 7 or something and it's just as useless & confusing as it was at level 1, just trying to max it so I can move on.
>>2912601>>2912638>Take support/tank vocation >Be surprised it plays like a support/tank vocationIdiots like you are why a fun thing is going to get ruined in DA.
>>2912638should've been a pawn exclusive vocation or something, idk what Itsuno was visioning
>>2912638I like sneaking in spin hits with money making weapon and throwing shit around. It's not a fleshed out class, but I like the fantasy. Watching pawns do things is the main appeal of the game desu
>>2912657>should've been a pawn exclusive vocationThat would actually be an interesting use of these abilities. It's like mage, nobody wants to play as mage but everyone wants a mage in their party.
>>2912297kek. Nice duo
>>2910020PCGrimm19Fighter7V95W8PZ1KV3
>>2912638yeah it's terrible. I feel like they either needed to let you control the enemies better, or control your pawns better. The illusions shouldn't be like just a suggestion to the enemy, it should 100% of the time instantly cause them to attack it, and you should have a move that commands your pawns to a specific enemy, again instantly. That might sound crazy or op or something, but it's really not when you compare it to any other class that can just walk up and kill the enemy, otherwise the whole time on trickster you're just relying entirely on the shitty AI to do something
>>2913133>The illusions shouldn't be like just a suggestion to the enemy, it should 100% of the time instantly cause them to attack itIt is like a MMO tank you have to hit enemies with the censure to generate aggro. One of the smoke moves generates a shitload of enmity in a big AoE you just use it once the illusion is set up

>>2914491lol
>>2914487Which version of Proton? I've been using ProtonGE 11-5 since the patch went live, zero issues so far. Optiscaler was working, too
>>2914487Either search through protondb to find similar problem or start going through all the combinations of linux graphic option yourself
>>2914493Speaking of optiscaler, should I even use it for FSR 4? Cachy's variant of proton has PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1 as a launch variable baked into it, and it works thus far.
>>2914509Probably not worth it for FSR 4 alone yeah, I use Optiscaler for frame generation
>>2914516Gotcha, thanks anon
>>2898075How many of you are doing the same? I wanted to save some of the dungeons for a new playthrough but in the end I don't think I can wait any longer, so I'll just do them all and then move on to Norgan in the next cycle. I'll check to see if pawns like Gil and Pippi still have Lesser Dragon quests once I'm ready for the last three trials in UW>>2841627Thanks for the map!
omg my pawn is friends with Pippi, so coolThanks for the hires and presents when he was an archer, everyone.
sneaking into the catlands hope we dont get wrecked by the drake
>>2914614I'll keep refreshing Pippi's lesser dragon as it's the only relevant bestiary left. The reward might change to 30k rocks or something if my allheals start getting low.>>2914653Man, imagine if they never implemented the level 50+ cheaper RC thing.
Man how long until Bestiary and Apex get updated I want to start a new playthrough but not with base game difficulty
>>2914692Most modders aren't touching anything until DLC drops.
I managed to figure out a simple patching method for old loose file texture mods that REFramework no longer detects, such as https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/832Does anyone need it?
>>2914871i dont but you may as well. im just glad to see dynamic enemy randomizer and free cam working again.
>>29148781) Extract the mod to a new folder2) Open Powershell and cd to that folderExample: cd "C:\Users\Gamer\Desktop\Alternative Faces Patched"3) Run this simple command to update the file extensionsGet-ChildItem -Recurse -File -Filter "*.760230703" | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace '\.760230703$', '.251211553' }4) Right click and send the folder to a .zip file, then install that with Fluffy Mod Manager the way you would a regular mod, make sure you removed the original mod first
The alt way into Battahl, along the coast, is so cinematic. Running away pass the dragon, into a cool cave with orcs and bridges, scary dormant golems, harpy cliffside with right path marked by fresh cloths on stones. Very atmospheric and fun.
I think the Crusader's Helm and Dragon Headband both perfectly display the weird issue I have with DD2's armor. I don't know how to explain it but in DD1 it really felt like all armor was form fitting to your character. In DD2 they kind of "float" on your character - so some helmets end up looking overly large and weird. Both of these head pieces just look bad in DD2.
Is guardian the only inclination worth using now?

Holy shit sneaking by it actually worked, was shitting bricks the whole time cause my dumbass pawns wouldn't shut the hell up or stop casting enchanting spells.
hunting for ogres for meliandra and traveling for a day and night for anna. what a cute pawn quest lol
Did I just brick my game? I think I gave the Archistaff and Greatsword to a pawn so I wouldn't be over encumbered, but I swapped the pawn that was holding it for a new one and now I can't finish the quest
>>2916304At worst you delayed completing the quest for a bit, just try to find more weapons since you can deliver any greatsword and archistaff for thatalternatively look in your storage, maybe the weapons were sent there.

>>2916205im happy seeing screenshots of her!
Bakbattahl is just not a very fun region. It's only upside is it can be kinda pretty with RT on but getting ambushed every 10 feet is insanity. I hope the snowy region in the DLC gives you more breathing room than this.
>>2916304You just discovered hire to storage warp, never feel encumbered again!
some more gorechimera bullying>>2916440she did well. 3 warriors = lots of easy knockdowns>>2916453im inclined to agree. it feels like it was designed mostly for grinding levels.
>>2916453Sounds about right and personally, I HATE desert levels so it doesn't do it for me at all and I'm glad the hardest area in the game will soon be a comfy snowy area.
>>2916453That makes up a lot of my Eternal Ferrystone use. Sorry I don't really want to fight another pack of Redwolves and Hobgoblins.
never seen this interaction before. i didnt even know you could grab them before they blew up

>>2916524n-no
>>2916524

>>2916607Yes but not golden beetles apparently, I got a portcrystal and other rare items but beetles just never got delivered. This was before the June update, I don't know if they changed anything with the latest patches
>>2913093Made it to checkpoint rest town. Got my almace now.What else is good around here for a fighter & warrior player? Only did the first of brant's request's to kill some goblins. Also duped the jail key someone brought that up and it sounded cheeky
>>2916628>Chimeras every time the Arisen pulls uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIaFtAKnqBU
I think I have a type
>>2916582It's for those of us who want to keep using normal ferrystones, so that we have something instead of nothing. They turned normal mode into casual mode which is even more pointless
>>2916556I didn't know they kept all these cycle stats, how many cycles will it count? Is 4 games ago the furthest back it goes?>>2916693my biggest problem with the eternal ferrystone is how early they give it to you, it should really not be given in the first cycle
>>2916686Be sure to do the Melve stuff, the old guy with the funny hair is who gives you Fighter's maister skill.Beren, big beastren that camps near the starting war camp is the Warrior version. His quest is a little weird.
If your pawn isn't posted to the anchor I'm not going to hire them
>>2916711Yup. And ID and system at least written out too.
>>2916705Right that was quick and easy you do that oxcart fetchquest and presto riotous fury. But Beren only gives you a greatsword then he fucks off across the border.
>>2916524Maybe
Gonna try a new saveslot now, hope it doesn't fuck anything.
What's the point of CPU saving mode? It says it lowers your frame rate. Is the game actually melting CPUs or something
>>2916800Laptops, Steam deck and other portable devices to reduce battery consumption I would assume
>>2916611I've been having a degree of success with giving panacea for a single flower. Not optimal but panacea was my favorite from DD1, so the nostalgia's there.
I'm guessing the Pawn rental tier list goes something like thisTop>Mage>Sorc>FighterMid>Warrior>ThiefBottom>ArcherI wonder how new skills and Hard Mode will impact this. I'd say it would make Mages even more valuable but I think we'll need to see how hard the total health deterioration is handled.
You playing on controller or KBM?
>>2916982Personally I’m at level 110 after doing everything and my pawn is a thief and my go-to hires are an archer and one of Warrior or Fighter with a preference for Warriors. You can do everything important from mage as a Warfarer but I can’t live without archers helping me deal with the fucking harpies. I do think new players are inclined to make their personal pawn a mage though.
>>2916985Dualsense for me :)
>>2916982Thief is more or less the best pawn vocation because it can handle any sort of enemy and pilfer.Warriors tend to be better than Fighters, heavily depending on skills chosen.Mage has the downside of two being generally pointless. You can do anything with 3 whatevers, but 3 mages is painful.>>2917002>harpiesCasters can handle them easy >>2910459

>>2917178Skill slot limits in action games are gay, and not having master skills on WF is only acceptable until you want to mix in Sorcerer and have it actually feel like Sorcerer.I'd take a more significant hit to stats over these fun-limiters.
>>2917200holy moly
>>2917200>6 hearts at lvl 3a slut indeed
Not that stats matter but I am a little jealous of some pawns
>>2917214if anything it's the opposite, you should be able to use all the maister skills except sorcerer. It's too easy to have a melee/archer character and then just slap on meteoron to keep in your pocket if you dont want to play the game

>>2916692same
>>2917233>you can have a melee/archer character but also cast magicYeah that's the whole point of the class. It's not hard to trivialize the game even using non-master skills, and maelstrom/meteoron are not always as effective as you might think.

I don't know why but when I first started up the game after downloading the update the game still ran like dogshit messing with settings to medium & DLSS making no difference whether on or off I got ~30-45fps, then over time the performance just got better and now I'm running the game at like 70fps on high settings with DLSS disabled and ray tracing enabled.

>>2917783Yup, people have been clowning on his voice from the start. Wan on wan. The game has a couple VAs with one or two credits, and yet his is the only one that stands out as really really bad. Dude's a radio DJ.My favorite weird casting (but with many acting credits) that absolutely nails it is the Sphinx. She's an audio book narrator, which is why she's so pleasant to listen to. It's such an obvious choice too, there's a mesmerizing quality to her delivery, and the sudden tonal shifts between phrases can be massive. You don't want to hear that chiding voice, you want her approval. Such a perfect fit.You know you're safe as long as you're playing by her rules, while at the same time in the back of your lizard brain you're thinking "why does a cat mimic birds' voices?" It's not to be friends. And those teeth aren't for hay.
How do I direct my pawn to break the bar on this door? I boosted her over the wall but she is just walking around
>>2917919Try holding the Go! command down to get her to explore?There's a reason I don't even really try to get pawns to do secrets, and either Thief jump or caster levitate myself.
>>2917822There's no point in confining them to anything, I already mentioned that the game can be broken in plenty of other ways and especially as Warfarer, but you won't read.You still become a sitting duck while charging, and being able to use another weapon the rest of the time does not change a whole lot. To go as far as to suggest that Sorc maisters are the ONLY skills that should be original vocation exclusive is idiotic and would have been even more so if it wasn't for the Thief's invincibility button and Flare nerfs (which may still be busted anyway, I haven't tested). Meanwhile MA's boss deleter maister remains untouched whereas its other skills are quick to cast and also melt most things.
>>2917914>Sphinx. Such a perfect fit.Indeed, you are correct.
>>2910020DD2PCQueen Bey33ThiefE4HHBTLRDM1Pstraightforward forageryou can also send friend request
>>2917930>I already mentioned that the game can be broken in plenty of other ways and especially as WarfarerI don't think that warfarer has anything that's quite as uninteractive as pressing one button and deleting a drake with no regard for timing or positioning (don't come at me with boo hoo I have to position charge my one spell, I've used the class and the spell plenty of times, no you don't, it's trivial).In terms of game design, it would be a little unjustifiable to only make one maister skill unavailable on warfarer, but in terms of balancing it wouldn't be unreasonable.Magick Archer's maister skill is similar, but at least you're sacrificing your health to use that so you can't simply spam it. Formless Feint is great, but generally useless later in the game, why would I want my stamina to be constantly draining to avoid a hit that does 2% of my health bar? Probably in hard mode it will see more use, on the other hand, you don't have to worry about dodging if you've just instagibbed the boss with a meteor
>>2917972>don't come at me with boo hoo I have to position charge my one spell, I've used the class and the spell plenty of times, no you don't, it's trivialThen why does it even matter if it's locked to Sorcerer or not? Especially with 2DA where Brontide is back as what is effectively a passive buff that doesn't block other actions. This isn't even a matter of whether the spells are broken or not but of whether being able to use non-Sorcerer moves when you're not nuking makes you all that much more stronger. I don't think it does.One way or another you clearly don't really like the nuke spells and keep underplaying how broken a bunch of other skills are. "Probably in hard mode it will see more use" you say, then proceed to assume Meteoron will always stay as broken as you believe it is.Everyone knows that the game is currently far too easy past midgame, so a lot of what is supposedly trivialized by Sorc nukes is just trivial in general.

Is there a music mod that adds DD1s soundtrack to DD2, im tired of walking through the woods, a cave or in the city and hear only silence
When do you think the DLC will be accessible? Will it be after a certain point in the game- like the feast- or will it be available from the jump Wondering how far I should get into NG+ before I set it aside until October.
>>2918295iirc they said it will be available as soon as you reach Vernworth. In fact there's an option that lets you skip the entire first section on a new cycle and start from Vernworth, so you can go to Norgan without having to wait at all
has anyone experienced their pawn being banned by using things that influence xp/dcp gains?
tired of seeing pawns that are literally half dressed. put some pants on!!!!!

>>2917783'Tis the man's purse
>>2918440pls respond. i used cdt to power level my new character and set exp gain to 50.0

>>2918295>>2918307I do wonder how it's gonna work power wise because the gear in it is better than maxed UW gear by a lot

>>2917938Looks like doja cat
>>2917835I'm really glad you enjoy them, will try and take more when I can. And yeah, I rotate the player light for some screenshots to get better lighting sometimes. Also have my main pawn's lantern taken off so there's more control over the lighting.Had made a webm to show a while back but you just lock reframework's freecam in place and tilt the right stick on controller or click and hold left mouse to move it. It's particular about distance sometimes with where characters are, and if they land close to the source of the light cone it ends up being much more bright/striking.>>2917847Aside from monitor res and progressive scan bumped up slightly, also using reshade w/ lumasharpen. Strength set to .870 and limit set to .035. Get a bit on grainy-ness with it but I prefer the claritysorry for the wall of text, dogma

>>2918492How do i know if my pawn is banned?
>>2918726holy shit bro how did i never know about the free cam lighting rotation. good shit man that is so crazy>>2918748idk
>>2918748you could try making a new character and trying to summon them in the rift. IIRC banned pawns don't show up at all.
>>2918748Just search her, yes you can search your own pawn. If she not show up she is banned.
>>2918789Of course, happy to share. You can also tilt the camera by holding right click. Used to be able to do that with right trigger on controller too but I guess they changed how the photo mode menuing works and I can't seem to do it that way anymore.
>>2918820>>2918827thanks
>>2918830cant believe i havent been using the lock function this whole time andve just been letting the camera freak out while i mess around with photomode settings. much appreciated
Why is the camera so janky with a mouse like the game is running at 20fps? It's smooth with a controller.
>>2918876You probably rotate camera much more and faster with the mouse, so the game is constantly culling and redrawing the geometry, producing lots of stutters.
>>2918876Small indie company can't figure out how to add proper KBM controls/support.
What does vocation improvement do at the dragonforged? Doesn't really explain shit in the menu, if my pawn's vocation is already maxed out with all skills unlocked is it pointless?
>>2919001>>2877400>>2877777
>>2919059So it's worth it for additional HP?
New expansion skills will severely outclass base game ones, to the point you'll have to use new stuff exclusively to deal any dmg.
>>2919080my understanding, which might be wrong, is that 5% rounded down would only give you something if you're already getting 20 points of that upon level up, whereupon it would give you 1 extra point. You pretty much never get 20 points of anything except maybe HP at lower levels so it seems to do basically nothing. Someone there mentioned fextralife had information on it, but I can't find it there, and even if there was info there I would hardly take it as good evidence
>>2919088I believe it, I hope the LV3 skills are fun and nicely upgraded instead of just being the same skills but with extra damage

>>2917822>and it's kind of strange how the second part isn't considered a quest but alrightI think they're nudging players towards the Pathfinder's challenge dungeons because the Darkhorde Cave mentioned in that quest blurb has an entrance to one.
Is it worth keeping the restored regalia sword and giving back a copy to complete the quest? Can't use it as a weapon it just sits in the valuables as far as I know.

does his Maelstrom still delete bosses?

>>2919555Left. But overall the look doesn't stand out at all, just another random witch.

How does dragons plague work nowadays? I'm trying to keep it on my pawn. I hired 2 pawns with Hired Pawn 2 having dragons plague. Then after camping a couple times, it spread to Hired Pawn 1 and I dismissed Hired Pawn 2. Then Hired Pawn 1 spread it to my pawn after camping again. But then after camping again, it just disappeared from my main pawn and Hired Pawn 1 doesn't seem to have it either. I'm trying to keep my pawn dragons plagued but I swear it just disappears on its own now.
Really wish the Pawns had more catchup enabled. Look at these assholes a cyclops went and died in a narrow pass so now they're blocked off for who knows how long.

Anyone else noticing their pawns being dumber than usual since the latest patch? They seem to constantly whiff their attacks, stand on seemingly random spots on the map instead of moving towards enemies, that sort of stuff.

>>2920816Stats, bestiary knowledge, skills, and everything related to inclinations dictated pawn AI in 1. Same is mostly true for 2, but the pawn's inclination does not change and they seem to be knowledgeable about fighting enemies already.
>>2917938She needs to be BROWNER BROWN CHOCOLATE
>>2920527There's one that can spawn at the area where the first cyclops shows up when you're travelling to Vernworth the first time.
>>2920878Ser, I believe you have lied to me, I just tried Extended Character Editor 1.3.6 with the very latest Nightly Reframework (01417) and it works HOWEVER the extra jiggle doesn't work because those are extra .pak files and mods those use those aren't working right now.
>>2920928Oh it's a mod. I thought you were asking if Capcom added the new CC stuff this patch.
Is the DLC adding anything new to the base game or should I just start a new save to get ready for the DLC?
>>2920937The collapsed godsbane doors around the map have new challenges inside. Some are only in UW.The "optimal" setup some people are doing is stopping before going to UW, doing the base game challenges, then UW challenges.

>>2921191the game's price has already been reduced and is also currently 25% off on steam.I wouldn't be surprised if on dlc launch there's a 'base game+dlc' pack but i'll doubt it'll save you more than an additional $10 over picking them both up now. If you're in a situation where every dollar counts for you then you can save an extra few dollars if you're willing to deal with (legit) key seller websiteshttps://isthereanydeal.com/game/dragons-dogma-2/info/https://isthereanydeal.com/game/dragons-dogma-2-dark-arisen-expansion/info/
i hope the dlc has more 'biomes' than snowy mountain + dark caves/dungeons. Some actually colourful areas would be nice.
>>2921204id kill for a swamp
>>2921191As other anon said. The base game's price dropped to 40 eurodollars a month or two ago and is now an additional -25%, so I doubt it.

>>2921277I really hope Norgan is just as big as the main map, be a nice place to retire to if it has the same side-quest quality or better.
>>2921204I hope not. I hate how rpg maps are always patchworks of tiny biomes. It would be preferable to get one well implemented large biome.
>>2921204I hope we are going to the Moon
>>2921353>i really hope norgan is just entirely white/grey with maybe a rare white-blue bit of icefuck you
>>2918726That makes a huge difference, really impressive. I guess if the game had proper path tracing implementation, the picture on the left would look striking enough since the angle of the shot and the pose are already cool and interesting on their own. So it's nice to see that you were able to circumvent the current limitations and come up with a way to turn that into a great shot

They really should've added fishing. But noodling is just as cool.
>>2921518also dark elf party
>>2921486It's changing the entire game's name to DD2:DA like the first game, so I would assume it is The content and that's it.My guess is DD3 is already more or less confirmed internally with Kinoshita as the lead, as it doesn't cost anything to have the story and art team spitball, but they'll check how the DLC/Switch version performs.
>>2921528Third time's the charm bros. We're getting the moon for sure this time!!
>>2921518Agreed, there should be a variety of fish and the ability to cook them on the campfire for a variety of buffs. Would've been nice. The cooking mechanic is undercooked in general. Also i wanna cook bats and birds since I sometimes kill them on my adventures lol.rabbits too.
>>2921528>My guess is DD3 is already more or less confirmed internallybwo, this is itdd2da is all you're going to get out of dragons dogma forever
>>2921534I have two words for you. Twenty. Thirty.
>>2921533it's why I pop into a private lobby of RDR 2 every now and then to fish, hunt, and cook food. Therapeutic after 'ventures.

>>2921543just give me nick cage as rook blease
Speaking of DLC though, I theorized in the last thread, or maybe the one before that.. That the old dude in the secret library might have some involvement beyond just sitting around. Seems like a decent area to have Norgan information.
>>2921533Itsuno had to personally ask to let him make DD2. It didn't sell beyond expectations like DMC5, so expecting a third right now would be optimistic. And Capcom has no need for a RE Engine MMO tech demo because MMOs are dead, so definitely no DDO2.
they just don't make em like they used to
>>2921568The only avenue I can imagine leading to it happening is someone at Capcom wanting their own Crimson Desert, but even then I think they'd just go harder on Monster Hunter.
>>2921554
WTF HELP ME
>>2921653Skill issue, should have cross-countered with a drop kick of your own.
>>2921653That shit is heat seeking, I had a cliff between me and the ogre and the dropkick curved around the cliff and into my face
>>2921636perfect
>>2921568it did sell beyond expectations though, capcom said it themselves
>>2920948>The "optimal" setup some people are doing is stopping before going to UW, doing the base game challenges, then UW challenges.I'm already at UW, surely I can do all challenges if I'm at UW, right? My plan is>do all challenges since I'm at UW and all of them should be accessible>once those are done, go to NG+>use the skip prologue feature to go straight into Vernworth and start the DLC>>2921363Nice to know there's a workaround

Anyone got a copy of Simple Difficulty Tweaks on hand in their mods or download folder? It's hidden on Nexus but apparently still functions
>>2921708yeah, I think it's Pippi time.
>>2921752the modder that made Custom Difficulty Tweaks which is very similar said he expects to have an updated version within a day or 2.
I booted up for the first time since release. I forgot how shit the gear system was. Where can I get some good looking gear?
there really seems to be no rhyme or reason for what hairstyles work with caps and which ones turn into buzzcuts. what a shame.
>>2921856I find the gear rather beautiful.
>>2921856You just have to find a look and accept that it's good enough. We'll have more gear to choose from next month.>>2921866Cats especially tend to go bald often, just use the circlets. Or free ball it.

I still feel like Ur-Dragon could be one of the instanced dungeons. Maybe I'm getting my hopes up
>>2921934Image quality slider in the middle or higher?Besides those, I don't have ideas.
>>2921940Yeah that one was in the middleI put it 2 notches from the right (because the memory color turns orange on the last 2 notches and that's scary) and it does look betterNot perfect but at least not annoying to look at
>>2921943These sliders are STILL bugged?What the fuck
>>2921903>>2921943thats a handsome pawn, pawn id please
Not a one of the pawns I've stopped has been Capcom made

is there a mod that shows all equipped weapons when you're a warfarer? I'd like to have my bow and quiver shown while swinging a GS.
>>2922064He has both abilities, but stubbornly explodes first.
>>2922149Even in base form it's very useful. Now with 6 skills It's much more capable, easy to build a whole illusionary house.
I really dislike that they made a new animation for Hindsight Slash and made it some weird backwards tumble instead of the back-step in was in DD1.

>>2922293That's really damn cool
>>2922296Not him but I think you can find the armor in the cave below the collapsed bridge that leads to the Malachite Forest, should be River's Edge Grotto
>>2922296Looks like Half-Plate Armor, vanilla
>>2922296good ol' fashioned half-plate armor.
>>2922281is there a mod that reduces affinity you get from the story and shit like escort quests? Or something that overhauls the affinity points system so that it's not easy to get a waifu but not exclusively because you accidentally get a random character as a waifu
>>2922333i use an affinity bar thing so i can see because theres a redhead in the main city thats cute i always want maxed
>>2922040He's not the brightest I'm afraid. I'll take pyre off him
Warrior doesn't feel good. It's just way way too slow. Also, I haven't changed my pawn's gear since like hour 3. There are simply not enough nice looking gear options for sorcerers
>>2922457There's some nice robes and hats later but that's kind of an issue for a lot of the vocations. The armor selection is pretty limited on top of the designs being hit and miss in addition to having weird class restrictions. IF there is ever a DD3 they really have to go back to DD1's armor system. It was so much better it's sad to think about.
>>2922457I prefer fighter generally, but got used to Warrior to. It gets plenty of super armor, which helps just ignore shit
>>2920248>>2921368These 3 were absolute chucklefucks>Aslan the WarriorKept getting poisoned by harpies 3 times, got properly stuck in walls 2 times and managed to do an unnaturally long, unnecessary, successful jump over the chasm, but only in one direction lol.

Most memorable was burning himself 3 time in a row, to half perma-health, in 2 rooms of skeletons, right after we had a camp rest to heal him specifically. Dude is unhinged, fits his looks tho.>My MageLevitating & spamming lightnings with basic heal instead of removing debuffs from us every time. At least peon spell was on point.Overall defeated 1 golem, 1 ogre, 1 lich and shitloads of undead, with my trickster supporting. They were really impressed with me throwing enemies around and started doing it too. Rock lizard bowling into flying harpies tactics was a success. Got them a drink in the tavern after a stern lecture. gg had fun
How many of you adventure without a mage? It makes camping feel necessary, which is nice.
what did I do??
>The Arisen was rather particular as to our equipment Some cunt was stripping my pawn, wasn't he?
Playing the update quest made me realise one of the things I really like about Dragon's Dogma 2 combat. I'm not sure how to phrase it but I think the best term would 'controlled chaos'. The physics system, picking up environmental objects to throw, trying to mantle a monster just right so you can use your skills, your pawns all doing stuff on their own initiative, enemy monsters using magic to lay down AOE circles, things getting set on fire or drenched in water, or frozen, or covered in oil etc.It's very unique, it's one of those things people don't really pick up on with what makes Dragon's Dogma special. The pawn system is the obvious and most important one, but DD2's combat just feels so different to other action RPGs and adventure games.
>>2922523Oh she just does that. Judges old men and women's boobies.>>2922523For a day or three but then it starts feeling like a nuisance.
>>2922604Yeah, it has great situational complexity even if the RPG-ness would be otherwise thin
>>2922627Meant >>2922543 for the first one
I've finished warrior and mystic spearhand.Mage or Sorcerer next?
>>2922592Quit making your pawn so strippable if you don't want them to be stripped.
>>2922646Yeah
>>2922604System based games that allow many ways to interact with the game world are very rare. It requires devs to reinvent basic "solved" issues like jumping, picking up objects, time and other easy to break, yet hard to make mechanics of this sort. Then making rest of the game around them somehow. Most of the games end up flawed in major ways. But if you 'get' them, you'll love them.
>>2922646Solo mage pacifist run with palladium abuse
They really don't want you to cheese the new chimera with a low level trickster. The poor thing is allergic to cliffs.
>>2922604amen, brother
>make rpg with great gameplay feel>make the story ass>make the monster variety ass>make the weapon and armor selection ass?????this shit is a TECH DEMO
Two archer pawns is hilarious. Nothing gets a chance to breathe within a half mile of you
>>2922716>yes>no>yes>somewhatthis shit is EXPEREMENTAL
>>2922727>>nobitch it takes the same main story points as 1 but the cutscenes are worse with worse voice acting and worse cinematic direction, you can't say it's good when grigori's entire performance is right there>somewhatthere is SO MUCH they could've done with the gear from 1 to improve it rather than going back with shit like reduced armor slotsplaying 1 right now and i was already having to think about if i want damage weapons or rusted weapons on my main pawn and if i wanted to give rook a silence or a tarring weapon, dd2 should've had MORE status weapons and MORE element weapons, there isn't even a greatsword with element damage so i was sitting there like a retard forced to use either an ugly flaming hammer or wait for my hired mage to buff my ass to deal with slimes when there really should've been at least ONE fucking lightning or fire greatsword or whatever in base game at leastitem autism is my biggest motivator in rpgs for me tho, i will do hours of garbage if you tell me there's a cool unique sword or axe or something with a cool effect at the end
>>2922748DD2 is a situation where the context of it's place as a sequel actually makes up for not being able to "top" the performances of DD1. Though yes, the dragon and story npcs are much less endearing and memorableI don't know how cognizant they were of it, probably decently
>>2922748>there is a elemental weapon for Warrior just like everyone else but it’s not a Greatsword so it doesn’t countAughtismAlso the stories have nothing in common besides the shared element of the cycle existing
>>2922716They genuinely need to triple or quadruple the armours and weapons in the game
>>2922798>Though yes, the dragon and story npcs are much less endearing and memorablei guess a part of that might just be modern western voice actors idk if the japanese side holds up, i still really all the cutscenes in 1 and how theatrical they are>>2922809>>there is a elemental weapon for Warrior just like everyone else but it’s not a Greatsword so it doesn’t countyeah dd1 had two different weapons for warrior too, and they both had a light weapon from ur dragon and two other elemental weapons each in base gamehaving a variety of damage types in a game with monsters weak to different elements is enjoyable, yes
>>2922748vgh... kino... dd2 just needs map extension and more enemies, maybe a quest cleanup/pass (some of it just ends without resolving storylines, but the ending cinematic did hit me in the feels when i ended my playthough, probably the music lol)
>>2922356>theres a redhead in the main city thats cute i always want maxedWho is she?

>>2920900Thanks, it's easy to make Archers look good because many of their armor pieces are so cool, that torso armor is one of my favorites
>>2922604>Playing the update questwhat update quest?
>>2921708why are her equipment upgrades all over the place? I'm assuming they aren't dragonforged because of the cum visuals but everyone has that turned off now surely
>>2922961Because it doesn't matter. She doesn't get targeted and auto revives from death.I have hundreds of dragon rocks to set her up with a full dwarf and dragonforged set, but I'm not gonna.
>>2922958Corrupted Chimera
Booting up for the first time since released Im realising I ran all the way to the volcano camp just to see all the armour options available and they're all fucking dog shit. I think this is why I quit the first time around. I hate playing games where I can't fashionsouls

>>2923190I foresee rests after every fight. Bring two tents.
>autistic slap fightsif we get enough of these we might be able to maintain a thread on /vg/
>>2923119I like it okay, and it's not like that one shopkeeper offers every piece of gear in the game, either.DD2's shadow textures, on the other hand...
>>2923215I don't mind different shops having different gear. I do hate pretty much all the gear being in shops and never looted, as well as the absolute lack of gear in general, and most of it looks like ass to boot. Don't get me started on having a whole area dedicated to dyes and it doesn't even get used for armour dyeing. Dark Arisen better finish the game because I'm sick of Dragon's Dogma being cucked and forced out early for shareholders only to end up being negligently missing half the features it should have had.
>>2922970I guess she'll just have to wear the crusty smelly communal set that I keep under the bed>>2923119I like a lot of the pieces, especially how some of them clash or have a lot of personality, however without transmog I don't really interact with the fashion so I'll have to wait for dlc>>2923204ngl a simple "K" might have been the play there
Fighter cucks Dullahan so hard it's insane, I can't believe I used to struggle against that headless freak!

This is way beyond my understanding. Why do so many arisen made pawn like this? Where did all this suddenly come from? Is this a new trend?
>>2923699What you think of this sheboon is how I think of all riftsluts.
They added a new mini cutscene to advertise the dragonsplague cure if you have a pawn about to set off the bomb and you enter an inn.
>>2923699>>2923710I think this isn't new, that's pretty much what those fags who stream fromsoft games do to their main characters, making the ugliest most fucked up thing they can for the funnies I'm guessing this is like that

>>2923460is whatever mod led to this still working?
>>2924373Don't know about that but I have noticed they get stuck on terrain a lot more than they used ot.
I really hate Thief's battle stance and it's the main reason my pawn isn't one
>>2924556I think Thief's battle stance is cool, I like it
>>2924552Ye including wild pawns
>>2924552>>2922929They're doing the best they can
>>2924552Seconding this. Often when combat starts and they are out of position, climbing around, pawns will never manage to find their way to the enemy, derping on some rocks instead.
>>2924639Guardian?
>>2924552I can't comment on how pawn ai used to be since I only bought the game a few days ago, but they currently seem to love walking directly into the fucking brine, I can't go down to some ledges or fight saurians near water or anything or they kill themselves

>>2924956thanks anon I was a dumdum
>>2924373My Sorcerer pawn has gone God mode since the update. She was already pretty damn good, but the immediate levitate into Hagol and Levin is steamrolling shit right now. Hopefully they add like 10 more spells for good measure. I hate that most Sorcerer builds are identical because you always end up just picking all elements for weakness coverage + your big nukes.
>>2925028Do elements even matter really? I feel like the correct build is>High Hagol>levin>augural flare>meteoron>maelstrom>thundermine (?)No matter what. Elements have basically never factored into my spell choice in this game ever.
>>2925032All I know is people's pawns have started talking shit to my Sorceress telling her she's using the wrong spells for the wrong enemies and she has to keep telling them to shut the fuck up she knows what she's doing.
>>2925032>HagolBut shooting the icicle is so much cooler than just swirly mist...God I miss Gicle so much. Praying it's there with Bolide in the DLC.
>>2925032I would replace one of the big spells with one of the stagger spells, Frigor or Seism.Meteoron destroys loot, Maelstrom blocks vision, so take your pick.

>>2910004Just upgraded my rig so I've finally been able to play the game.How the fuck do you make a decent femboy in this game?
>>2925277It starts with a rope

>>2925236One of DD2's biggest criticism from an early outset was that it's too easy. By Level 40 you kind of just shit on everything, and the fact that DD2 lets you pause the game to heal adds to the feeling of being easy. It felt incredibly tone deaf that Capcom added 'Casual Mode' to DD2 while adding no type of NG+ scaling.
>>2925307Ah gotchaYeah my friend made an absolutely amazing twunk in the last Mohun game.
Minotaur actually punished my attempts to menu healHe did his charge into me while I was casting, threw me to the ground, I popped a mighty roborant from the menu and as soon as I got out of the menu and back up he immediately turned back to me and insta charged me to the ground again, I healed from menu again, got out of menu, 180d into insta charge again, this time I just got up and out of the way, I'm sure if I had menu healed again he'd have kept doing itfelt way too intentional to be a bug
>>2925342Not have heals in your shortcuts?
>>2919887appreciated!
>>2925351I genuinely forgot they added item shortcuts
>>2925330It's a power fantasy JRPG, y'kno
Custom Difficulty Tweaks is still not updated but at least you can now use this skimpy clothing mod https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1234I never quite liked this one because it affects NPCs and it has more requirements than the other skimpy clothing mod but that one hasn't been updated yet unfortunately.
>>2925369Sure, but even 'power fantasy' games like Skyrim have a difficulty slider.
>>2924293What the helly
>>2925430Skyrim's difficulty is patchwork attempt to salvage game's fucked up numbers, not really a proper game design thing.
>>2925277I'd say makeup is probably super important, I reinstalled 2 days ago and haven't played since launch so I don't remember how I made him
fw try to give your pawn a new fit but nothing works out because how body shape makes certain armors look very silly

>heard game is playable now for me maybe as I could only get 15-20 fps previously>boot it up max settings>120 fps nowwhat in the fuck, okay i have like 1000 hours on ddda so im gonna give dd2 a try finally any advice for first playthrough and which vocations are best for main+pawn? guessing standard stuff like heals+buffs on pawn and melee on player?
>>2926000>bestDoesn't matter, play what you like
>>2926000The game is pretty easy so just use whatever you think is cool. Thief has an early augment that reduces aggro pull, pretty much all support pawns will want to have it.
>>2926000have fun and don't overuse the infinite teleport
Is that weird cutscene that hijacks the camera and focuses on a town portcrystal new I don't remember it from release
>>2926000dont start playing until at least custom difficulty tweaks is updated game is way too easy and you will likely get bored and quit
i also hate how capes look in this game - especially the medium sized capes. they just float on your character, your character's shoulder size dictates how big and goofy they look, and if they have a back flap it doesn't even touch your character's back so you have a foot of space between the cape and your back
>>2926063Yeah
>>2926063they got added when they started putting portcrystals in towns
>>2926063I still forgot to activate it at checkpoint town before porting to capital
>>2926000Nice digits, and just be yourself, cos.
How do I get some fresh pawns in the rift? I've seen these same dorks for days in a row now
>>2926146Set different lvl range and quest knowledge in filters.
>>2926150racist
heh
how do you turn pawn quest knowledge off. i could have sworn it was a setting before.
>>2926177Rift, Search pawn, Filters top left
Man they really put the nice green elf tunic in the game and gave you zero pants to go with it. Wtf Itsuno.
>>2926182You're supposed to pair that with Braided Boots or Jewel-woven Sandals for those sweet up-skirts moments.
>>2926070I doubt the modder wants to touch it right before the DLC breaks it again.
What's the best LUT? I need a little more colour without having saturation jacked to the moon.
>>2926226Don't like any of them
>>2926226Can't you tweak the LUT shader presets manually?
>>2926226https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1325this is the best one from what i've tested and can be tweaked further to your liking
>>2926226I've been playing with this one and it's alright. https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/573
Hehe... dragons and dogmas...
>>2926226I use the Vibrant LUT mod awith the Nature preset. I tired Nature (Vibrant) but it was a little to much saturation.
>Difficulty Tweaks modder says he's wrapping up a few things before releasing in a few hoursPLEASE

>>2926000to start the game with, thief is probably the strongest for arisen, you can go almost anything on your pawn, mage for heals, another thief for dps, fighter for aggro. As others have said though it doesn't really matter, plus you want to max them all anyways right? On launch I went fighter, which was at the time the weakest class (they've given it like a million buffs since then), and it wasn't that bad honestly>>2924875hopefully when we get the new hairstyles I can give her the bun that she's supposed to have

I am now noticing some of the new pawn pathfinding and LoD pop in issues (this one only really with photo mode). It's only certain areas, but they are weird.For example pathfinding in northern Battahl is worse especially when climbing and jumping. The pop in and old performance issues when you keep going north of Harve, to around where the oxen are.
Inb4 the expansion has another troll enemy like the "attack the head for 5 minutes" fat undead whose ONLY weakness was fire.
>>2927231Fuck that fat puking prick.
>>2926507AT LAST
Yeah, I ain't touching any nickcore related or content editor mods until after DLC.
>>2927276BASEDBASEDBASED
>>2924180>>2924532this is dynamic enemy randomizer and yes it works.
Well, folks, would you look at that? Straight in between the vigilant snake and the buttocks, into that hideous, hideous, goat, and it did not miss by an ear, i can tell you that much. Heavenly Shot? Whoever came up with that name is almost as good at it as i am, because, let me tell you, that was truly divine. Now, some of you may notice, this isn't a very flattering photo of me, i am looking kinda of defeated there, do you see? But let me tell you that it was through my great effort that the stamina necessary for such a beautiful feat was available, and before i forget, i would like everyone to give a round of applause for the great and wise twins, Eini and Eino for developing such a magnificent spell.

There's so many rift post pawns to hire aaaaaahhh.I think I'm done for a while and hire whoever.
>>2927838Cute!
>>2927838flop nooo get away from the arisen diddlers

>>2927923teach your son magic already so he can defend himself!!!
anyone noticed the game's brightness/exposure levels cranked up absurdly higher than usual since the performance patch?
>>2928076https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1566?utm_source=discordbot&utm_medium=app&utm_content=subscribedgameperhaps this will help? I'm keeping an eye on the mod update tracker to see what's working again and this popped up a while ago
>>2928078thanks anon, will have to check that out over the weekend.
bunch of games got their complete steam achievement list leaked, anything for DD2DA2?
best pawn waifu btw
>>2928204Nah, none that I've seen as of yet.
There is now a whole Weapon Controller for the Minotaur (app.Ch221WeaponController). There's definitely a subsystem in place for the weapon itself on the Minotaur. This seems like something for either Hard Mode behavior changes, or Lost Rite dungeons, potentially even both, with enemies gaining new moves like throwing their weapons at you.
So I copied a save a while back, before 3.2. I still have the old save folder in a separate location- is it possible for me to paste it into my post 3.2 save slot and get my old save back?
You would buy the DD1 remake.
>>2928303capcom hire this man
>>2928303I already did. It's called Dragon's Dogma 2.
>>2928303only if they used it as an excuse to release new expansions too, if they wont add new items i might as well just keep playing ddda there's no way they'll do the cutscenes better and i don't want zoomer hair on half the npcs
>>2928303If all the mechanics are 1-to-1, sure, yeah. Changing even little things in these games tend to snowballs a lot. I trust that new game designers would understand why things are the way they are in DDs.
I was promised a femboy pawn, where is he?

Armor dye mod WIP
>>2928516sick
>>2928516el basado. bet the fuckers include armour dye in the dark arisen dlc to spite you.
>>2928418Awaiting the scroll of metamorphosis.Haven't had much of a chance to play. Have only just gotten to the capital via oxcart.
How am I supposed to wait a full ass month until the October 9th?
>>2928303i think i would but i would want something new from it too. i don't think there's enough wrong with going back to DDDA and playing that game, it's not that ugly and it plays pretty well still, so a remake that just pretties it up a bit? nah
Is it POSSIBLE to make a cute beastren girl who's not just a pippi, flop, or snowy clone?
>>2928712Yes, but you'd need to mess around with patterns and colors a lot to get something really different. The new hairs will also help.We're also lacking small cat boys going on big adventures, but it's kind of weird because you'd "need to" use female voices.
Ser Gregor died, I resurrected him with a wakestone but he was in the water and immediately got brined. His widow cried :(
>>2928712Do NOT: make head round, use droplet brows, make whisker cheeks too puffy or mouth a small :3
>>2910004>>2910020For the next thread (no hurry yet) and in the future, if you have multiple pawns have them in a single post preferably. Words to that effect should be added to the riftstone post too.Like:>Steam>NyanNyan>lvl 13 cat>ID: 123456ABCD>Give her a fish for two strawberries>Great Hero Fairmane>lvl 168 fighter>Guardian>ID: ABCD123456>Slay a lesser dragon for 500k gold

Are archer pawns worthless if i don't want to bother regularly supplying them with the special arrow types? How will they fare if i just chuck on Deathly Arrow/Manifold Shot/Spiral Arrow/Explosive shot and then just only give them explosives when i feel like it?
>>2928755roger that
>>2928303If it looks like dd2 or better maybe. I'm sick of unreal engine
>>2928303I would but I'd want an actually new game, I can already go back and enjoy DD1 if I want to right this second.
DD2DA will sell like hotcakes and force them to expand the base game and create 2 more expansions trust me bro
>>2928821I hope you're right, cos.
Do Fighter/Warrior pawns benefit at all from having 6 skill slots or are you still better off just giving them like 3 skills?Archer you can just chuck on the special arrow skills since they can't use them without ammo anyway. Mage you can freely slot in all the niche/utility spells that they'll only use in certain situations anyway. What about fighter/war though?
>>2928855Yes
>>2928858could you elaborate
>>2928871No
>>2928872
>>2928873>HAAAAAAAAAAXXXXX!!!!
>Unofficial Dragon's Dogma Patch just got updated>it's a requirement for and made by the same person who made Bestiaryit's coming bros...we're almost there....
What do the mods you guys are talking about do? I'm used to modding skyrim and fallout, never checked for dd1/2. What needs changing? Or is it new stuff?What about adult mods?
>>2928885I'm crumbling to dust reading this
>>2928904(a lot of these could do with a few more updates to patch up remaining bugs)Unofficial Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1147?tab=descriptionCustom Difficulty Tweaks - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/195Vibrant LUT (returns colour to the game) - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/573Guild Contracts (adds an absolute shitload of 'go to this location and defeat the enemy(ies) quests) - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1341Better Monster Infighting (monsters can aggro each other if they deal enough damage) - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1323Dynamic Enemy Randomizer (makes enemies show up in more varied locations/compositions, within reason) - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1321Infamous Loot Overhaul (basically overhauls how you obtain gear by *severely* nerfing shops and significantly buffing chest and enemy drops, so that you acquire gear by adventuring and not just giving gold to the merchants) - https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1549?tab=descriptionBestiary and Apex are two mods that add new enemy variants with altered movesets/combos/aggression and are the last two mods I'm waiting on updates for before I can finally play the game again.
>>2928772mayhap I could... I haven't done the sphinx this cycle yet, I wasn't sure if I should dupe a portcrystal or this extra key of sagacity I have, someone in an earlier thread speculated that the keys might be used in those DLC chests. I guess if I'm gonna go into the next cycle for the DLC I'll have 2 keys with access to a third anyways so I'm probably okay to just go for the portcrystalThat all being said, I'm about to be gone for a couple days so it would have to wait until I get back
>>2928953cool ty I'll check them out. also been modding bg3 a bit, just remembered.but nothing like back in the skyrim days, where a modlist could easily be 800 mods.
>>2928891what does UDDP even do
>>2928953>>2928993Yeah Bestiary and Simple Difficulty Tweaks are the only 2 missing to make the game enjoyable for long playthroughs. Bestiary is possibly the best mod I've ever played in terms of technical achievement and integration with the base game
>>2929091doesn't custom difficulty tweaks do the same thing as simple just with even more options
>>2928953Thanks fren
>>2929105They're pretty much identical, yeah.
>>2929105>>2929116SDT has less bloat and integrates with Bestiary once it's fixed, Nickesonja maintains bothCDT's "damage taken" multiplier is blanket applied, so things like blades of the pyre, burning damage, fall damage and so on are buffed in addition to regular monster damage. SDT also has a toggle for applying healing and stamina from food items over time instead of instantly.
>>2929132You can scratch some of this actually, it's been a long time since I read CDT's changelog and a lot of these things have been implemented
Also if you don't like how Infamous Loot Overhaul does gacha style loot these are good alternatives meant to be paired with each other https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1254https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1313
>>2928953hmm i installed something from this stack and now when i jump into shallow water i fall through the map endessly
>>2929171Seems to be an issue with the UDD2 Patch.
Is the unofficial patch even needed anymore?
>>2929223Nope.
>>2929223Arguably yes, many bugs remain in 3.2, nickes is still working on UDD2 literally right now though>>2929171Appears to be UDD2 for me too, ran it in isolation and water made me clip
>>2929234No, you're an imbecile.It literally breaks more than it "fixes" now, and it never actually fixed much.
>>2929234>>2929241Disable the Pawn survives Brine setting in the config >>2929241>It never actually fixed much.Some bosses, most notably Griffins, receive about 6 times less damage from arrows than from melee attacks. This difference is so extreme that shooting a Griffin in the head, it won't play the weakspot sound. This patch changes the arrow resistance values of these bosses to be the same as for melee attacks. It only affects Griffins, Wights and Liches.Thief's dash attack is bugged and will miss every other hit if you spam it against an enemy. This patch fixes that.Goblin torches can hit you several times in a row if you're near them after they're thrown, resulting in massive damage. This patch makes it so the torches can only hit each character once.Levin's sound has been bugged since release and won't play all the thunderbolt sounds. With this patch, all of them play correctly.Scaly Invaders breaks if Jonas or Fyoran are dead, because they won't go back to Harve even after resurrecting them. So, this mod makes them unkillable.The culling request near Vernworth is set to only happen when the player is below level 15. Believing this is a typo, I made it so it happens when you're above level 15 instead.Ogres will sometimes slide into infinity instead of playing the proper idle animation. This mod fixes that.During some attacks, Chimera receives 50x more stagger than intended, on top of the intended 20x multiplier. This patch keeps only the 20xFighter has iframes during deflects and true deflects, but in vanilla, they can still get debilitations applied to them. With this patch, fighter is immune to debilitations during those animations (except boons).Purple hobgoblin shells deal insane damage (around 3k for throwblasts, which will one shot endgame characters). This patch reduces that damage.When forging Eternal Wakestone, you get a duplicate of the original instead of the intended Eternal Wokestone. This patch fixes that.
>>2929234mhmm. not sure if its one of the configs causing it but i'll have to pause it until there's a fix in i guess.>>2929241there's a few tweaks it adds that i like. rain during night is nice, the drawing your weapon doesnt cause NPCs to have a fit is nice (i hate it when i am on the road with my weapon out and the carts suddenly hate me, and theres a few little bugs it fixes which are nice. but this water clipping thing does make the game unplayable.
>>292925290% of that is literally intended, anon.>>2929254This anon is honest.It doesn't "fix" anything. It only tweaks and breaks things.It is NOT a "patch".
>>2929261>90% of that is literally intended, anon.Source?
>>2929261>attacks missing, goblins doing 50k dps, sound effects not playing, ogre sliding, bosses taking 5,000% stagger and an item literally being missing is 90% intentional only in /ddg/
>>2929252>Purple hobgoblin shellsWhat's that?
>>2929286Those late game goblins that shoot the projectiles at you
>>2929254the water shit is prevented by disabling the pawn brine option(s).
Frankly I only really used the unofficial patch for disabling the wyrmfire effect and pawns harassing you and since those options were officially added in the june patch I stopped using the unofficial patch, I don't think the fixes are that significant.
>bootlicking a mod calling itself a "patch" that breaks more than it "fixes" Mmm, tasty dog shit dried on an old boot!
>>2929318what's got you so disgruntled
I think he just wants attention, it's a little sad.
>>2929318>first update to it released days after a title update that fucked every single mod over has bugs in itWOW! I'm sure if you tried to program something like this you'd one-shot it!!
>>2928921>17 years ago
>>2929330>>2929338>>2929349Mmmmmmm!Boots taste sooooo gooood!

>>2929355woah, is that one of the skibidi toilet characters?
Water issue was fixed 10 minutes ago
>>2929362And yet: you're licking his boots anyway.
>>2929405So you should just get to make retarded arguments with impunity and anyone who disagrees is "boot licking", right?
>>2929410>Imagine bootlicking a shitty vibe code mod "author" who has the audacity to call his tweak-mod a "patch".Oh lawd...
Jewel-woven sandals are nice.
>>2929421>vibe codeI see you've given up on arguing anything and are just throwing out bait hoping people will think you were pretending to be retarded from the start.
>>2929439>>2929421Literally talking about the guy who made 90% of the mod authoring and engine-level resources for this game lmfao
Tested something.If you erase a save data by starting a new save, it'll prompt you hard.Not only that, exiting before making your character, the old save is still intact if you alt+f4.
>>2923212Is it time?
>>2929475Hmm... Nyo...
>>2929475Not until the DLC drops and even then we probably won't last many weeks there.
>>2929475I don't think so...This thread was created about 5 days ago and there's 867 posts, we'd need that amount of posts every 10~ hours to be able to live in /vg/.
>>2929433that needs to be in between the crack
>>2928303Not if it looks like this I won't
Can anyone tell me if the game is running with ray tracing on in this footage? Should be either PS5 or PS5 Prohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r1h71QfyO8
>>2929564I quite agree, I'm waiting for this mod to get updated https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/5?tab=filesIt has some nice skimpy options for thongs, I hope we get something like that officially with DA2 but I doubt it.
>>2929631Don't think so. Local lights like candles and spell effects would have affected surrounding areas much more. Character faces seems to be lit with base lighting, giving them highlighted flat look. Belt lamp gives off steady flat light around and through the characters at night.Raytraced light tends to get many extra imperfections and dynamic shadows because of geometry getting in the way.
>>2929599you say that but the still artworks look good (except Link, but it's cause i just don't like whatever they did with his tunics), it's in-game that it looks bad, and that's mostly because it's jaggies town all over. We're back to nintendo not knowing what antialiasing is
>>2929694I hope they pull a DD2 and it turns out the game is secretly a sequel...
a little long for a barbarian loincloth sort of thing, but I'll take it, thanks ogre
>>2910004Also, can leave out the co-op mod news. If it bricks saves and doesn't work, well...
>>2929849It's for the female slut barbarian look. The similar one in DD1 was ladies only.
>>2929599he pregnant
>>2929864with rocksunironically how it works, i'm pretty sure there's no female goron and they just sprout kids off the rocks on their back or something like thatalso, they eat rocks, but Link does too so eh
So what's the Dogma?
>>2929874Link does whatAlso you'd better post that Switch pawn on the anchor in October, don't leave me alone here
>>2929918>Link does whatin botw they talk about Link eating rocks with his goron bros cause they gave him the rocks as thanks or something and he just ate them cause he's built like that and he got that dog in himalso sorry anon but i'm on pc
>>2929922Oh wait do you mean TotK? Also may your pawn nuke Norgan when you least expect it for being on PC
>>2929933>Oh wait do you mean TotKi think it's both, they talk about it on botw and show it in totk, idkalso sorry again but i don't have a switch 2 to begin with, there's literally no game on there that i care for as of now, not enough to make me buy the thing at least
I know the plot of this quest wants me to feel bad about cat racism and cat exile but I've had to go through the harve cave and fight saurians three times because a dumb fucking cat apparently won't stop wandering in to poke them so I can't say I care too much
>>2929913Dogma is a central belief that things are like this because that's just how they are. Something you do not question."You are the Arisen and you must defeat the Dragon."Pathjanny rambles something stupid about it in 2 but whatever.
>>2929959It's okay, I will hire your pawn once I sell my kidney to buy a good PC

>>2930398A very easy way is to just use one of the three save slots the game now has. Apparently you can hire your own pawns from the other slots.
