>>2930535Thanks :)
used to have contests for the OP pic before, thoughts on rolling that back in? maybe like alternating between clips and screenshots? maybe third thing?

Now Simple Difficulty Tweaks has been updated but I'm already using Custom Difficulty Tweaks...
I'd like to use Bestiary but I don't want to install 5 dependency mods.
>>2930668Don't worry about it, you can't even use Bestiary right now since it's been de-listed and will likely not be updated until after the DLC is out.
>>2930638at least he brought home 153 bucks..!
>>2930538DD2SteamLaguigne207MageORFXTU9BRI1R
>>2930674what makes bestiary so special compared to all the other mods being updated
>>2930668i'd install 20 dependency mods just to play with it
>>2930691I guess there's a fuckton of code in that mod so it would take a lot of work to get it updated and then it has to be done again when the DLC drops, the other mods are more simple comparatively speaking
I feel like I'm mostly done for the moment. Hired a lot of anons, but might have skipped some because god damn that's a lot of pawns now.Which is good, lots of quests to pick from when the expansion launches.
What will you lads do first? The challenge dungeons or jump straight into Norgan?
>>2930715Dangan to the dungan
>>2930665what's the difference
>>2930752I remember custom difficulty tweaks being a bit lacking at first and then simple difficulty tweaks came along and it was the superior choice but I think they're pretty much equal now, can't go wrong with either imo
>>2930752Custom just seems like a better version of Simple now that it's been worked on an updated.
Found one of Gigantus' brine spikes(?) in UW, I had assumed if these fell in the water they would just vanish but here's one, that's neat.
I fucking HATE harpies on low level warrior...
I'm gonna claim vocations have an innate aggro level without any proof. It just seems that way.

>>2931091I dislike Bakbattahl visually more than Vernworth but the lighting in the buildings there is a lot more complimentary to screenshots. The home in Battahl is a good choice
>>2931090this u?

I'm in a weird situation where I love Nature LUT for overworld screenshots but dislike it for Pawn screenshots

Can anyone else duplicate this or is it a Linux bug? I can get this consistently 100% of the time, it will stop working after the first time but if I save and reload it will happen again
>>2931228can you try flying as a spearhand?
>>2931256The bug is triggered by thief's wall jump, I'm on vanilla right now so I don't have access to this skill with other vocations. I was wondering if I should submit a bug report but I want to make sure it's not just Linux being Linux
>>2931142thanks!
>>2931260rearmament could solve it
>>2931228Whee! (win 10)

My pawn has been using heaven's edge daggers for quite a while, but would frosted edges be better late/post-game?

Some armor
>>2931860That sword is highly sex.
>>2931860I'm hoping the armor design in the DLC is more varied than 'fur robes' but overall I like all those armor designs.
>>2931931>you can pet le pupperinoyes capcom we get it
>>2931931Wolves hunt for snacks!
I hate to keep going on the same tangent but I was looking at some old DA screenshots and man I really dislike how capes are handled in DD2. In DA they just sit on the shoulders of your character like you'd think a cloth cape would - in DD2 they look like they float just above your character and it doesn't look natural. I really hate it.
>>2931982I've never killed Talos without using the Unmaking Arrow
>>2932009It really is unfortunate, there is something really off about how the capes are attached to the body and how it accounts for your body proportions, I don't know why they regressed on that

>>2932026I wish there was some higher end maces that weren't the enchanted ones. I HATE armored Saurians!
>>2931931>This may seem a trifle, but...>One of my masters seemed to enjoy the company of her wolfhound more than men! I wonder why...
>>2931860not trying to be negative but those armors are ASS
I like how the delete file warning gets unmoored lighting
Is there a mod that stops affinity decay?
>>2932493Why is she angry?What did you do?
>>2932500I was standing around doing nothing. Just typical trickster stuff.
>>2932493>>2932519Oh, he's a he. I assume white cats are all female by default. My bad.
>>2932523Low T post, anon. They're all female to me.
>find nameless village>aimlessly fuck around and talk to people>"well done arisen, you have a keen eye to have noticed me">did not notice a fucking thing>talk to flaude>"I'm the thief maister btw, if you prove yourself you can be one of the big dawgs">end dialogue>he walks up and restarts it>"you've impressed me, here's my secret technique"okI have not played even a single level of thief, nor has my pawn
>>2932593That quest is a silly mess, you're apparently supposed to notice an NPC following you but I didn't notice anything odd from the NPCs apart from the dialogue
What do people use on thief in this game? Spammed a lot of helm splitter in DD1 that's all I remember.
>>2931228>>2931340jesus christ battahl is red
>>2932590Sorry, no natural vagina means not female.
>>2932605Wall jump, it's the most powerful skill in the game.
>>2919760>>2919766New moon, so time to rollI ended up going with Arisen's base, some of my pawn's sliders, and the wrinkles, hair, beard, and eyeshadow values of Phaesus. Very fun!
>>2932593It's tied to the main quest, doesn't matter if you're thief or not. Not that it matters for any vocation if you've played it or not.>I'm the thief maister btw>secret techniqueYeah...
>>2932593I don't remember it being like this on release, but maybe i'm mistaken, but it definitely seems like they received a lot of complaints about people not understanding that place. i swear, originally, if you handed Brant the note you find in the house in the nameless village then the quest ends, but now you can hand in that and the arrest warrant, probably because people kept missing it, but i'm not sure.
>>2932605It's still very spammable>>2932593"Here's how to set yourself on fire"
It's cute (and a bit excessive) how max affinity pawns will look at your arisen if you idle a little bit
>>2932626>>2932632oh okay I just got the actual technique, that makes sense
>>2930538PCGrimm40Warrior7V95W8PZ1KV3Gotta hunt down a Lich so I can finish upgrading this hammer
>>2931860I really hope there's a proper full plate iron tarkus-esque armor that's wearable by warrior/fighter. But I'm not holding my breathe seeing the shit they've shown.

Three fucking pawns standing out in the open holding their head like they have migraines I can't tell if that's a real status ailment or another bug god this garbage is obtuse sometimes
>>2932722Are you near fatsos with sticks
>>2932722they contracted DB-19
>>2932712figure out what your carry weight would be without the beetles and the rest is simple math.
Where the beastren women at!?
>>2931096I think it's the moment when you go into moonglit tower, try and get to your planned beloved before that.
>>2932742Yeah but see I'm Warfarer (+0 mod) with 76.4 carry capacity. 25+25 according to the wiki stats, and 10 from Thew. So the math is I've eaten 109 and one third, from a possible 81?What fixes the math is if there's a missing +5 mod somewhere, then I've eaten 76 of them. Probably.
Forgor you can upgrade weapons at any time meanwhile the dragonforged insists you bring those crystals with you in your inventory
>>2932817Are you wearing any rings or sovran armor?
>>2932874>tfw stupid human looks at you
>>2932830I got nekkid
I love when the NPCs start jumping for no reason
>>2932712this is the one thing I'm using a mod for is the beetle and seeker's tokens icon, it's really nice. I got the 180 for the staff by playing a couple playthroughs with the trickster augment and then never looked for any more (what the fuck were they thinking with the final reward being literally useless), and I kind of want to get the last 60 that I need and it would be a grand waste of fucking time to visit all 240 locations so the mod is just really nice, basically showing me a bunch of little areas of the map I missed over. I hear there's a cap on how many beetles you can consume as well so I'm probably close to that and just collecting all the rest of the beetles
I like when the female kindhearted's voice cracks
I don't like the straightforward female voice.
>>2933046
Based waif.Does the quest chain continue if you don't tell her about Ludolphs intentions?Does anything different happen if Gregor dies but you ressurect him after informing his wife? Kind of like how Julian in DD1 can be restricted after defeating him and getting additional dialogue from him about it?Still very disappointed that the random NPC's don't all have their own little backstory's. And the lack of armor layering. I'm sure this has all been complained about ad nauseum. But so far the game seems like an improvement in every other way.>>2931532huh, neatThanks anon!>>2931707It's nice to see that some of the old hands are still around.
>loading screen has an image of fighting a hydra>no hydra in the gamewhy?
>>2933327Hopefully the Hydra will appear in Norgan - Capcom already confirmed there's a lot more that wasn't shown.>>2933080I'll always come back to DD sooner or later.

so how do pawn returns work. do you need to sleep at an inn for the game to 'update' that you dismissed pawns with gifts or does the game do that as soon as you dismiss them?
>>2933902you need to sleep at and inn. Works that way for both DD1 and DD2

NOOOOOOOOOOO THE DRAGON WAS HOLDING THAT MYRDDIN GUYYRestarting from last inn save. Is there a liquid efluvium in DD2 or do I just intimidate everyone I don't want as a beloved?

I fixed bestiary and durnehviir for myself in private but I've only done about an hour of testing, would anyone like to help test?You'll need the most recent REFramework, the one from today with .pak support:https://github.com/praydog/reframework-nightly/releasesUDD2P, ScriptCore and NickCore:https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1147https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/30https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1311The original bestiary, bestiary variant spawns, durnehviir and durnehviir night events files installed and enabled:I can't provide these myself, the nexus pages are still hidden My patch, drag and drop then replace in DD2 folder:https://files.catbox.moe/9bnqjc.zipThere's also a fix for Nick's dev tools that will let you spawn the custom bosses yourself if you feel like it, but the mod is not required for the patch
>>2934573Actually, I spotted a small issue and gave it a modinfo.ini so you can drop it into Fluffy and toggle it without touching your already installed files. Make sure you toggle it after the mods it's patching though.https://files.catbox.moe/x3vov4.zip
>>2934573does your 'patch' include the actual mods cause can't test if we can't actually download the mods in the first place.Also what is durnehviir? I know about bestiary. Does Apex (the super bestiary add-on) also work?
>>2934580Apex is another hidden mod by another author, I don't have the files for itBut no, it's a patch file, the post clearly says you need to have the original mod files to test it
>>2934581well can't do shit without the actual mods so
>>2934582>>2934581>>2934573>>2934579here's the mods since op is a faggot https://files.catbox.moe/2w5yer.zip
>>2934595thank
should I wait for DA2 to start a new game? I wanna play the hard mode
>>2934599Depends if you wanna play through the vanilla game on hard mode first or wanna go straight to Norgan.
>>2934599the hard mode sounds like it's balanced around an existing character and not a new playthrough and, supposedly, you're able to reset your playthrough into hard mode no matter what point of progression you're at.
>>2934601>>2934602any other changes to the game coming out in DA2? This recent patch is so huge its got me anxious to play
>>2934573Do you know if this works with enemies that have weapons? I've heard that enemies like Cyclops/Minotaurs can bug out/crash the game due to some kind of new implementation with how their weapons are attached to them.
>>2934622I've fought Cyclops and the new variant (Bezel Minotaur) from this mod with it and they had weapons which they used normally, no guarantees though as I'm just one person with about 2.5 hours of gameplay with it under my belt
>>2934624Playing through Onimusha now but if there's still no updates for Bestiary by the time I'm done then I think i'll have to resort to trying your patch since i don't think i can wait much longer.
>>2934625I was partially mistaken, these enemies do not crash the game but they won't spawn with their appropriate weapons if they aren't base-game enemies that appear through regular means. They don't bug out or crash the game though, I just fought a Colossal Cyclops for 10 minutes and it behaved as a disarmed Cyclops normally would.By the time you're tempted to try it reply to me and I'll share if I've fixed anything or updated it. I plan on testing it for a few more hours tonight as well as running down the list with the spawning dev tools to make sure all the variant bosses work, but the priority is on the weapon objects for now since the author of guild contracts seems to have found a lead on that.
what's the deal with darkhorde cave? I killed the corrupted chimera and got a second message about darkhorde cave, but there is nothing new there.
>>2934633There is a new chest with a portcrystal inside, that and the [useless piece of junk] ferrystone you find in the cave should be your hint that you're supposed to come back once the expansion is out
>>2934647I see. I thought the portcrystal has always been there, I basically haven't played sinced launch.
>>2934604Other than what we've been told we don't know if on the October 9th we'll get more changes since there doesn't seem to be patch notes ahead of time like there was with this month's patch, we only know Hard mode, extra hair style and tattoos options in the character creator, the 12 challenge dungeons and obviously the expansion itself is coming that day.
>>2934573>>2934579Do not download these. There are multiple issues with Durnehviir that are too complex for me.On the plus side I fixed the enemy weapon spawning issue >>2934622 mentioned, while leaving monsters with intentionally unarmed variants like Cyclops hopefully intactRemove Durnehviir and my patch and replace it with this.https://files.catbox.moe/2q93ao.zip

Man I hate the stupid little dust swirls they constantly have on your screen in the unmoored world. Just a flat .mp4 slapped on your screen playing every three seconds.
>>2935006That has been bothering me too and I swear that it's way more noticeable now than before though, I hadn't noticed it until this last patch that it's an effect that's on the screen rather than actual dust particles on the environment, it looks quite bad.
>>2934817Sent her back after defeating many mobs and boss monsters, hopefully that will be enough. Also she looks very cool, what did you want to change?
Did this make it into the final game?

>>2935033No and I prefer it that way
>>2935033George got rid of those kind of goblins
