She and Lavender have 2 of the same spells slotted so they duo up and start blasting sometimes which is fun. Also, I LOVE her outfit. The little skirt with the wrapped around sandals, it's so cute.
So tired of Nick updating his mods every day or two.
>>2950411cheers anon! I'll definitely take Lavender for a spin if I got the RC for it..

>>2950827then why didn't youalso don't make me explain the joke

>>2950833I don't wanna
>>2950835Yes you do...I promise I'll still laugh
>>2950740That armor makes her chest appear quite robust
>>2950842the joke is that i love you *kissing you*

>>2950740she may not be a fighter in vocation, but she is a fighter in spirit. lead the charge, you rascal!

>at backbuttall, level 40 or so, all vocations unlocked, all maester's teachings, best in slot weapons before endgamedo I continue to the unmoored world, get the gucci gear, and hit NG+, or do I wait for the DLC
>>2950966if you choose to continue you can just reset into hard mode (even if you already progressed to NG+) and then go from there
>>2950867It looks that way because it is that way
Just defeated our first GriffinHonestly outside of it having a lot of health it wasn't a tough fight. A little disappointing.
>>2950963Eggman?

What's the most demanding area in the game on PC? The Malachite Forest?

>>2951079DD2:DA2 is tomorrow, no?
>>2951068Anywhere that the mages and sorcerers be popping off
>>2951082Nope, today according to their previous tweets and the current opening statements of the stream.
>>2951087damn thought it said 17th in the email, well thanks anon!
is capcom the biggest slop factory in japan
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
EVIL EYE IS BACK
doomsissies btfo, always bet on /kino/shita
God we're so back.
so fucking kino bros
The base game dungeons will have unique gear?
gah I wish we could see more but that was actually better than I expected.Soon fellow Arisen, soon.
>>2951121here's hoping
>>2951132Sounded like he said that.
THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEE
/v/ sissies will pretend they always liked the game
DD2 character creator is up on Nintendo Switch in case anyone was wondering (doubt, but still)
there was another new enemy show in the trailer, but apparently it's from DDON
KINOshita proves his supremacy once again. The man knows what the people want- potential man can get FUCKED.
>>2951151Nah potential man gave us physics based Dragon's Dogma kino, but I'm glad Kinoshita is taking care of the expansion
Grigoris are in, as are Evil Eyes
>Beholders are backI'm going to cum
I wonder how that Wight gets the corrupted hearts? Also the sky turning dark - could it be before or after we defeat the undying dragon?Can't wait.
>>2951151Itsuno’s base game vision was essential for this to build on.
>>2951153Kinoshita was the gameplay lead on the vanilla DD2. Itsuno was the big dog but let's not pretend Kinoshita was just a grunt with zero pull himself, lmao.
>>2951151Moronic take, the duality of the experience in both DA1 and DA2 is what makes them work so well.On one hand you have high adventure, on the other you are brought low.Holy fuck DogmaGODS we won so hard, u can't wait for the fucking cope. I WILL be checking achievements at release to see who truly BELIEVED and who is just another bandwagoner.
oh shit
So they're doing the same story as DDA1, right? Zombie dragon is a previous Arisen who megasperged out at the Watcher and Eir is his pawn trying to free him?
>>29511715.9GB Download // Steam
blast status?
What have I missed/changed since release, what should I know going into the dlc basically playing for the first time, and I think I should probably start a new save since I forgot everything.
>>2951171lol but why
>>2951178Just play the damn game bro the DLC isn't out for another 2 weeks or so
>>2951181New custom options (Hair and Tattoos)
>>2951171can we import our old pawns into it to try the new hairstyles?
>>2951171>>2951175P-Pigtails?
When the trailer is showing one of the new 12 challenge dungeons you can hear Brant's voice talking about it, I guess he will give us the quests to at least some of the dungeons.
>>2951178Just read through the patch notes, there's too much to list
Which is better, playing now or waiting for the dlc? is the dlc all endgame stuff anyway or does it change things throughout?
>>2951196one of the guards at the main gate of Vernworth talks about finding a strange door while on patrol also so that makes sense.
New music, new screen!
>>2951209It adds dungeons to the base game. Wait.
>>2951167No one's pretending, I'm just saying Itsuno was part of the equation so I'm glad he was there. Hopefully DD3 happens with Kinoshita at the helm
>>2951217Holy shiiiit
>>2951217Fuuuuck the new ost is Sovl
An actually good long hair option for female pawns finally god
>>2951217What are we some kind of dark arisen?
>>2951261Show now I worky
>>2951264Too Dark Arisen
holy fuck i came i nutted i did everyting everywhere all at once with that trailer someone place me into a coma NOW
>>2951274I shooted cum slop into your mouth
I won't be impressed by the new character creator unless you can now add pubic tattoos without them fading out and the breast slider now goes to flat
>>2951299I need the breast slider to go to fat
NTA that originally posted the demo.my pawns/arisen from the game don't carry over so i will just recreate them later but here are some hairstyles! in retrospect shouldve just recorded a catbox vid
>>2951307You didn’t have to use Emma Watson to show the hair. Good options though.
>>2951307Holy amazing i fucking love itThe bottom right bob is so me
>>2951299I love flat pawns so much it's unreal..
I'll be waiting for the mod that lets me steal the new shegoat's hair.
>>2951307I see Ada's hair, V's hair, Dante's Hair, Lady's hair and Ashley's hair.
>>2951330her speech in the beginning sounded exactly like pawn speak
Anybody got the fella's hairs?
>>2951330I love sex hair
>>2951343Yes give me a sec to recreate my arisen and I will record a catbox with the hairstyles and tattoos!
>>2951380Thx cutie
even when its raining we keep busy
>>2951388Celia hitting the yoinky sploinky in this one
>>2951342I think she IS a pawn, she does the hand glowy thing.Another thing I found neat is how you're showing using the godsbane at some point, so maybe this Expansion will be more story heavy than I was expecting.
>>2951415Dude she's so fucking cool I love women so much
>>2951420if only women were real
Switch 2 version looking good, they really cooked
ok here's the catbox keep in mind i am retarded when it comes to recording things to showcase!personally i think most of the hairstyles look better on women than men. lots of reused assets too (dmc5 etc)https://files.catbox.moe/rl4ydb.mp4
>>2951511The webm looks very soft so here's the sharper capture from the console, which also looks softer than the actual game itselfhttps://files.catbox.moe/at5v6z.mp4
>>2951515>66Hellooo Conan playthrough Thanks anon
>>2951529np! i like 58 a lot myself, the braids are so cutei thought 66 would be longer, hopefully someone mods it
>>2951549Unrelated but what's your opinion on the new slayyy anon
>>2951555no idea what that is
>>2951559Interesting
>>2951307Now that I finally test pigtail's my pawn looks a bit too mature in the face too pull them off ^^;
Might switch to the Ashley bob if it doesn't clip with my laurel crown too much but I think my character might lose a bit of that slavic-goth edge she has right now.Either way, I am blown away by the new hairs overall. Honestly in most games there's 1 maybe 2 styles I actually like but almost all of those new ones are great.I think them reusing styles from other REngine games is valid too, they clearly are high effort hairs and should see as much use as possible.Very excited for everything we saw today. Might crash my car at the start of Oct so I can get some time off work.
I wonder if Norgan smithing will be a thing, and what its gimmick will be. I could see armors getting better elemental resistances if frost is going to be a big thing.
>>2951630I assume it’s gonna be a copy paste of the post dragon forged tiers from the original dark arisen
>>2951630>crash car>use wakestonegenius
>>2951630If it is I hope they fix the system entirely, as it stands right now every smithing except Dorf is basically a non-starter unless you're using Elven for a staff.Battahli needs a HUGE damage boost, Dwarven needs way more weight add and a damage NERF for more knockdown, Vermundian should fall between the 2 and Elven should stay roughly around where it is. They'll need to get creative for Norgan.I do have a feeling though if they DO add this it just will be EVEN BETTER than Dorf and Battahli and Vermundian will just be extra cucked.>>2951634This would be fine but doesn't track as we complete a forge path then dragonforge. So to me it should be Norgan smithing AND the rarefication tiers of silver and gold AFTER you have dragonforged it.If I was really hopeful I'd say I want them to go back to Dragonforging actually requiring you to fight a dragon of some kind.
>>2951307Bretty good but I like my current

gonna be honest, I slept in. are we back?
>>2951709without a shred of irony, yes
Wooow! Draogon's dogma again. Can you believe it? So good, very happy. 2 and then 2 agains, wow. Can't wai!
>>2951709We're reaching blast levels that shouldn't be possible.

>>2951709We are so fucking back you wouldn't believe brotherCan't wait to rub it in all these sneedthing retards faces tooThough i bet so many of the malding tertiaries pretend they always liked the game to get in on the hype
Vore expansion status???
>>2951725habbening
so many of the new fighter skills just read like>that ability that used to strike once now strikes 5 times because...it just does, okay?also I think 0 changes to maester skills, so realistically warfarer is the only class now
>>2951731Better than old improved skills where the only changes were adding more speed lines to blink strike to make it seem more powerful.
>>2951725>>2951729
>>2951729>gaping belly voreAdvanced af, I kneel.Looks like all of your cute pawns are going in, bros, sorry in advance.
>>2951731>realistically warfarer is the only class nowI don't get it, what makes this the case that isn't already?
Look, if the game doesn't have a bunch of dungeons like Watergod's Altar, Shadow Fort, or Soulflayer Canyon, then I truly do not give a fuck.
>>2950963nice lore
>>2951751The only good one is Soulflayer Canyon lmao
Celia looks like she has a gigachin in this because of some weird DLSS artificing from the flame, which made me laugh. Anyway I love how the new Guardian pawns wander around on watch at camp.>>2951751Well that's basically what we're getting, though I don't think Shadow Fort can ever be matched as it's so obscenely kino the first time you experience it.>>2951757How can you even say this? Do you even like these games?
>>2951751I do hope we get more big ass dungeons in Norgan, I enjoyed Drabnir's Grotto and Waterfall Cave a lot.Also hoping for the challenge dungeons to be nice and lengthy.
>>2951762Look man I'm just being honest. You can't enter the Shadowfort before the siege so I don't consider it a good dungeon. And you can't fully complete Watergod without the tablet quest. You could have mentioned the catacombs instead
https://www.gematsu.com/2026/09/dragons-dogma-ii-dark-arisen-main-trailer-screenshotsI'm too lazy to repost every image from the press kit.
>>2951388kek
>>2951777Dragon's Dogma is back, fuck
>>2951773I wasn't that specific nonny but I did agree with him. In fairness I've never tried to go to the fort before the quest, but it's better that way as it means the first time you go you always experience it at it's peak. Watergod is an okay dungeon, but again I don't think it being tied into a quest makes it a bad dungeon.You're right though the catacombs may be the best base game dungeon overall outside of the spectacle of the fort.
So, is this thing the Dark Arisen™? And Eir is its pawn?
>>2951798why does his staff have little tiny barbiedoll hands on it
Chances of Hydra coming back?
>>2951802Wouldn't hold my breath. I can't imagine the clusterfuck that would be having it slither all over the place with the way physics work in 2.
>>2951798The Heart is it's own new character, Separate from Arisen, Dragon or Seneschal. A third party. It gained sentience after being taken out of the Arisen and has it's own plan on what to do with the Cycle. Probably to make a completely new world order from the corpse of the current one.
Does anyone have the edit of the duke imageIt's grigori and it's likeYOUR HEART HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY A DRAGONARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE YOUR HEART
>>2951762>gigachinactually she's just like that >Guardian pawns wander around on watch at campthat's really neat
I havent watched the stream yet, have they shown any new monsters
>>2951729I hope they make a nightmare ogre too...
>>2951830Yes, new skeletons and old favorites are back. It's looking good.
Can the expansion sustain the game for another 5 years till dd3
>>2951837What does sustain even mean, this isn't a live service game.
>>2951837In as much as you can 'sustain' a mostly singleplayer game- no. Any more content after this hinges on Kinoshita both really, really wanting to make more and getting the c-suite to listen and not fuck the game over for a third time.
>>2951740I have plenty of RC by now so I can switch networking off
>>2951806nta but we have the Sacred Arbor purgener already so he hydra is like 99.9% happening in my not so humble opinion desu
Isn't this a swamp? So that Dragon Princess rumor had some grain of truth to it?
>>2951879It’s pretty obvious that dragon princess shit was real but got reworked.
>>2951151>the man knows what the people want after having been explicitly told that for 2 yearsNo shit. And they still only decided to do hard mode like a month ago, according to an earlier interview it was only "being considered" before that.

I dig it. This hair was one of my favourites in DDON.
>>2952082Cute flop
>loading up DD2 character creator and seeing my Pawn's first lookGrim.
So the new styles are only in the CC?Lame.
TOO MANY SLUT MAGESNEED CUTE MAGES
is this new creator going to import my pawn or do I have to make them from scratch?
>>2952169you need to make it from scratch. the old pawns/arisens you initially saved in the character creator will still be there though.
>>2951798MYSTERY NIGGA
>>2952116Progress pics? I think my got chubbier/taller mostly
>the ice zombies have elf earsDoes that mean my pawn gets to use woodland wordsmith in norgan?

I just realized they added womb tattoos to the character creator
>>2952318I've been playing as a trickster and pawns still shred everything
>>2951708I like how it looks like an unkempt version of hair 20.

>>2952875Blonde?
>>2951321That's Ashley's hair!
just saw the trailer i am ready.
>>2952888It looks way to puffy in DD2.
>>2951645>If I was really hopeful I'd say I want them to go back to Dragonforging actually requiring you to fight a dragon of some kind.Doesn't it cost wyrmsblood? How are you getting that without fighting a dragonkin?
So they decided to show the trailer before TGS? Even though TGS starts tomorrow?Nani!?
>>2952881No, it looked green on the thumbnail is what I Meant
>>2952904Ah, yeah, the default pawn does have that bluish tint to it...Phew, means I don't have to be like DON'T SPEAK TO ME OR MY PAWN EVER AGAIN

Did they drop any details about transmog yet ? Should i hoard all the cool looking armors instead of selling them ?
>>2952423kek at file name
>>2952951No details as of now.
>>2951708Ever seen the Beauty and the Beast tv show he kind looks like the beast just with more fur.
>>2952951Nothing new, I think the only detail we have is that you unlock the feature by doing a side quest in Norgan.

I still don't really get the idea of influencer pawns. It's not even the pawn the influencer made/uses, it's copies of it, and they're not even on all platforms. AND, they're limited time only.It's less hires, meaning less RC, less quest done, less upboats for real pawns.
>>2953007Cute!
>>2953008It's just Capcom shilling per usual. That's why streamers always get advanced copies and shit. It's just marketing.
>>2953007thats so cute
>>2953007Adorable! Now you have to draw all the other 4chan pawns. Wish there was an official thread picture of them all.
>>2953035There was a 2024 one, the project should be rebooted for 2Dark2Risen
so i installed bestiary again, shouldnt there be a frost drake here or am i misremembering?
>>2952762Two years of batthal trips
Finally got a chance to use the skip prologue option when starting new game+, this is how that looks.After choosing a Vernworth start, you get to choose/edit the Arisen and then your Pawn then it drops you off at the part where Brant interrogates you.
Have the anons in here realized that you can't hire your old pawn in a new save and vice versa
>>2953055What is your modlist
>>2953007I want to mate press her.
>>2951178Anon... What the hell are you doing.
>>29511833
I kinda like the Ada hair, honestly.
Which goblinoid/creatura pawns actually made you laugh when you saw them?
its always raining on volcano island

Which hair looks better for my Sadako inspired pawn?
>>2953285Nice>>2953295It shouldn't be messy, definitely left

Something about Ilyanabelles costume makes Zhalia do the big think.

Someone was saying something the other day about how continuing an existing save into hard mode would work? Do you need to keep yourself ready at the unmoored world to NG+ or can you just go into hard mode right away?
>>2953671Oops, dropped my image. Though now that there's another (better?) shadow mod, I should try retaking it

>>2953726Try using Explore (hold dpad up?) when you want them to do something like that. I haven't tried it with those bars, but they generally start attacking everything nearby and collecting stuff.

Fuck I hate the voice for calm pawns. I wish I could use the straight forward voice on calm inclination.
What mods do I get for the 'vanilla+' experience?Also which difficulty tweak mod do I get because this shit's way too easy, almost want to start the save over because I've already levelled way too fast, already 30 just from filling in the map around Vermund
>>2953746huh, neat. I'll try experiment with the commands more often.It could just be her tho. I've noticed she just loves smashing shit for no reason.Might even be starting to rub off on my pawn. They both spent a solid minute taking turns jumping into the ocean near Harve to catch fish.I will forever think of her and my pawns oneesan.

Forcing an element on an MBow through the WeaponElementController then cancelling it the same way gives it a neat multi-element effect until sheathed, but I have no use for this information.

Can you still get around the cooldown on affinity gain from pawn haircuts with saving and quitting, or did they patch it?

>>2954149Custom gang
Are the new hairstyles and whatever in the actual game if I use the barbers or tome?
>>2954170No. DD2 itself didn't get any 5gb update, now did it?
>>2954173I wouldn't know.
>>2954156kek
>>2954170Only in the separate character creator. For whatever reason.
it'll be funny if the new hair and tattoos had to be gacha-farmed from norgan loot.
>>2954162What did they say to ragnhall
>>2954267They've never seen a black person so they just thought that's what they sound like and didn't know the guy was fucked up off klonopin while recording.
>>2954267>[Speaks Japanese] You've never acted before? Perfect, hired, here's the script.
>>2954149I was using Custom right up until Bestiary updated, now I switched to Simple since I'm using a bunch of other Nick mods now I figured I might as well go full Nick.
>>2954292Kek>>2954295To be fair I don't think the actual actor was terrible but its like he was given the direction to be a friendly guy and went all in and no one told him to run it back and give it a bit of edge
>>2954404I genuinely hope they allow Ragnhall to redeem himself in Norgan, given he's supposed to be this famed mercenary. Like Briar Rose from Fable:TLC.
>>2954418No how about they just leave his stupid ass out the DLC entirely.
Wan-on-wan
>>2954442But, nonny, what if he knows the super secret safe route into Norgan? (surely not filled with monsters and such) Though I hope it's the old black dude in the underground library that tells you about Norgan desu.
>>2954442But he was in the battle of Jeremy!
>>2954442I will carry him there in the bottle so we can go on adventures
>>2954452>Though I hope it's the old black dude in the underground library that tells you about Norgan desu.Brant will be the one to guide us, you know this to be true.>My majesty, I've heard tale of an oxcart that was attacked by a strange Griffin.And then you get to the spot and there's a cutscene where grab onto the Ice Griffin and it takes you to Norgan
>>2954466Wait. What happens if you cum jar him in the base game? Tell me you can just ignore any of his quests / quest involvement.
>>2954467>your majesty, I have heard tell of an ice masquerade at the ice castle.
>>2954467>there's a cutscene where grab onto the Ice Griffin and it takes you to NorganAm I playing myself by hoping it's an area you can freely access from the existing map without a load screen
>>2954467I don't think this is a good story beat if it was to happen because he is already directing you to do so much. He gives you your initial tasks and then after Act 1 he sends you to Battahl. His actions and place in the story are very pointed and with purpose, if he just comes out of nowhere and goes "hey go here because it unlocks the new zone lol" it becomes out of character, no matter how you sell it.
>>2954487Yes, you are playing yourself big time and we already footage of Norgan being a separate area, like it shows the Map menu and you can see the borders and stuff.>>2954490He's already pretty much confirmed to be giving you quests to guide you to the some if not all of the challenge dungeons, he will be the quest nigga.
>>2954490In-game Brant is a pathfinder automaton anyway >:D
>>2954490My point exactly, at least the library guy would potentially read up about Norgan and give you ammunition to use against Disa and her false Arisen.
>>2954494japs in charge of narrative writing i guess
>>2954494>Yes, you are playing yourself big timeRaaahhhhhhh nyoooo
>>2954484My experience messing with that item is that quest relevant NPCs pop out and it gives you the phial back when the game calls for them to appear but I only tried it with the whorehouse lady. Also I don’t think that character exists in the game proper he’s like the false Sovran where he only appears when relevant?
>>2950055
bestiary is cool but rape my fps
We're not expecting anything DD-related at the Tokyo Game Show, yeah?
>>2954590honestly, we'll probably get a small paid dlc or update after 3-4 years of radio silence if we are lucky. I'm wishing for a reboot of DDO, but lmao
i want to start my NG+ when the dlc drops, and i currently don't have the game installed. You think i should wait until that drops and download the game then, or downloading it now will save me some time when the dlc does drop?tldr will the dlc make us download the whole game again as an update?
>>2954590anon we got the new trailer yesterday from the capcom spotlight, so unlikely. But I think there's people (in japan) playing on a showfloor or something or osme people with early accesslike I saw this guy but I don't know the detailshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCFRkGWLLPw

The arisen is canonically a girl
>>2958380In DD1, in DD2 it's a man
>>2958380Why are some people so desperate to be cucked by "canon" in games with customization and player choice? Aphantasia or something?Whatever you choose is as good as canon unless explicitly denied in a sequel, and at times even then.
bros im blasting
the girls are inspecting a stone pillar while arisen is breaking the fourth wall
>>2958407Hmmm how so>>2958417Tbh I just say this stuff to be inciteful
>>2958524In 1 you fall in love with your lesbian "cuz" and it's cute and heckin valid and canon in my headcanon.In 2 you're meant to become Sovran and only men should be rulers, so obviously you're a man.
This abomination is striding up to new players
>>2958553But in 2 the rulers of both kingdom are women already so logically the sovereign should be a woman tooAlso old elf chief gets counted as a woman too as elves are inherently girlbrained
>>2958445Devout Offringe is so underrated
>>2958605Doesn't let me force throw bandits so it's shit
>>2958524>I just say this stuff to be incitefulI am aware, but there are people who unironically bring this kind of shit up all the time. More common in some games' communities than others.
... are there beastren children in DD2? I don't think I recall seeing a single one.
>>2958648Yes bro you are blind I'm sorry... the dragon took your eyes as well as your heart
>>2956977Dullahan maybe? One of Nick's mods does this, but they also rework many different aspects of the vocations so keep that in mind
>>2958081kek
started playing DDO again, what's the level difference cutoff on dogma rising? Cause i was lv30 fighter, with my pawns being 28 and 26 plus a hired lv35, changed vocation and realized that enemies won't give exp as long as the lv35 pawn is in my partyanyway it's a super fun game, especially now that even more stuff has been implemented compared to when i first started it
>>2958723forgot my other question: do the vocation colors really lock you into a certain playstyle? Cause i want to try alchemist to just punch enemies but it's a blue vocation so it's like support?
>>2950055>PC>Cazimira>60(i think)>TIHJHEZE2SM0I started a new playthrough to prep for the DLC but I blasted too hard and now I feel overlevelled
>>2958730alch is a tankyou can parry almost everything with all your attacks if you time them rightalch main role is to take aggro and debuff enemies so don't expect it to do insane dmg alch is very weak early game though since you get most of the cool skill later
By and large ours is a party of BEASTREN!
Pawns can't consent, chud!
>>2958761Don't worry about the level, Hard modo is for us high LV dudes, that or mods I guess.
>>2958723it's anything higher than a 20 level differenceand it only applies to hired pawns. a whole party of your pawns works with any level difference.>>2958730playstyle? no they all have their own playstyles. their color just tells you their "role" but it's a little bit of a trick. red just means its meant to do the most damage, blue is support that's meant to draw aggro and provide elemental weapon buffs, green reveals enemy weakpoints and has heals/stamina recovery. they all can deal damage though. i'd still recommend sticking with a red vocation on your first guy though, there's at least one point where you'll probably regret not being one, namely the snake dragon at the end of S2
>>2958819 (me)>>2958730forgot to mention, alchemist is a blue vocation but with certain skills it can do damage comparable to red vocations: EX Pile Binder + Alchemical Burst loops. generally speaking though your goal is to build stacks of your rocks, which gets enemy aggro, then pop them when they're maxxed. this pingpongs aggro a fair amount so in groups you're better off not popping your stacks until the enemy is disabled, and just focusing on holding enemies still.
>>2958417aphantasia isn't really a lack of imagination it's reduced/lack of visual thought. caring 'too much' about the canon of something is probably somewhere on the autism spectrum, a focus on the literal interpretation of something or the need to know exactly what something 'means' rather than being able to forge your own path and interpretation. it could also just come down to general low 'intelligence' and some inability to do reasoning. a lack of agentic reasoning might make it hard to understand the story of something unless they have it explained through the lens of somebody or something else. some people may not be able to project themselves onto their character, or be unable to construct their character as independent of themselves while still empathising with it. word salad or whatever i forgot what point i was trying to make immediately
>>2958081It's like sharing a heal in Kirby Superstar
>>2958648Yeah there are some in batthal
Am I completely buttfucked if I give my archer pawn a simple inclination? I know calm is the best but fuck I hate the voice.
Is there a better updated wiki for Dragons Dogma 2? I only know of the fextralife one and it's like whoever was updating it played the game for a week and then stopped. Lots of missing and incorrect information. I just want to know what quests I can and can't do at each point in the game and so far I've found that their list is just wrong.
>>2958081That would make a really good /v/ comic
Is there a mod that disables animation commitment for skills so they actually activate when i press them instead of waiting for the slow ass fucking attack animation on some vocations
I have over 150+ hours in DD2 and not a single trading card, what gives.

>>2959068you just die and it restarts the sequence

i truly do not understand how people stomach playing archerPlaying with some mods like Bestiary and such so obviously it's a bit different to vanilla but there is a substantial amount of attacks where if the enemy decides to target you there's almost nothing you can do to avoid damage since your only movement is just running around. Insane to me that they have no core or equippable movement/dodge skill, even if it was worse than thieves which it should be.Even mage gets their shield now.
>>2959337i could have sworn when i played originally you could front kick off enemies and it would space you really well but when i was maxing my vocations i could never get it to work like i thought it did.but that's what it needs, the ability to ability-cancel into a front kick that acts as a back-dodge and spaces you.
>>2959235Sexy male? I SHALL be hiring him.Rotten apple? You can have that too.Don't expect it straight away though I'll probably keep him a little while for a few days in game and you could just keep one in your inv in the meantime and it'll rot.
>>2959348the kick can create space but what im talking about is if a minotaur (or one of the super minotaurs in bestiary etc) decides to attack you then sometimes you pretty much just have to accept you're getting hit.
>>2959360The game is intentionally designed like that in general to encourage you to use your pawns and engage with the aggro system
>>2959371ok but that doesn't help when an attack does come my way for one reason or another does itthe warrior pawn holds threat 90% of the time it's the fact that there seems to be times where there's just 0 viable options to avoid certain attacks when they do come your way.
Time for newcutie adventures, and Lamond is here too for any egg-mergencies.
Does anyone notice a performance difference when launching the game from FMM rather than steam? I swear my shit stutters less when launching from fluffy.
>>2959337That's why you install the double jump + dodge for everyone modArcher is fucking unplayable at low levels when trying to take on some harder enemies
>>2958623you can force throw them if you stagger em first. same problem with knackers. it's less of an issue that it probably should be, whack one a couple times, force throw him into another guy, then pick em both up and play ball
>>2959399fluffy just launches the steam versiononly thing that comes to mind is perhaps the steam overlay isn't active when done that way
did a sketch of my arisen from imagination
I don't find dodging as archer that difficult, the kick is basically a parry with invincibility frames afterwards. And letting you animation cancel with it would be too much I feel.
>>2959418
>>2959418this is really good
>>2959418Holy shit that's amazing, blog?
>>2959418>>2959423Goes hard.
>>2959355Kek thank you bro I love my pawn >>2959418>ImaginationI kneel that's awesome
>>2959451I have some others with me just now but I'll pick him up in the near future and take some cool shots for you of him.
>>2959430thankshttps://x.com/jaiphobic_
Bro fucking died what the hellyI thought you were stronger LAMEond
>>2959521reminded me I went to medusa for the first time and when i arrived at the bridge i just watched the harpies throw some npc off the cliff. oops.
>>2959521to be fair the full extent of what he teaches you is how to switch your weapon in combat quickly, it was never implied he actually knew any of the skills from the other vocationsfor all we know La Almond has a 2h and a bow equipped and no weapon skills on either and that's all he's got, that's his whole repertoire
>>2959394what reshade is this?
>>2959591Classic goreharpy moment that's literally the only reason I ever lose a pawn>>2959602True I guess thats why he couldn't beat his dragon and is crazy washed and spends all day chilling outside the spring
>>2959613It's this one here, it's nicehttps://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/353
>>2959337They do have a dodge, it just doesn't have i frames. The sliding shot can be activated almost instantly. You don't need a running start to use it.
do we know if we're only getting 3rd tiers of skills/a couple of new skills (like arrow rain) or are there also new core skills/upgrades to core skills?
>>2960163Fighter is getting a perfect parry upgrade that sends small enemies flying and presumably does heavy knockdown to larger enemies. I don't think anyone else is getting new core skills.
I really want the alternate moveset for shieldless fighter back.
>>2960252prease understandu
>>2960252i'd love for a fencer variant of both fighter and thief. it's crazy to me to base your game off medieval europe and not have something to do with historical fencing with like rapier and cape or rapier and dagger.
>>2959244kek
>>2959337if you're on archer why are enemies close enough that they can hit you and you need to dodge, the only move in the game that's quick enough to get you is blink strike and the shitty goblins that use it can usually be oneshot, plus you can use high ground to avoid it.

>>296065221 days to go!
Disa sounds like she's about to marry me to Sven. not sure how I feel about this.
pippi no...
>>2959348>i could have sworn when i played originally you could front kick off enemies and it would space you really well but when i was maxing my vocations i could never get it to work like i thought it did.I am not sure if this is what you're talking about but they did change it on the latest patch, now you have to hold the kick button to kick off enemies, it was throwing me off that I would kick things and I would stay in place instead of jumping off of stuff until I looked at the patch notes and saw the change.
i'm really getting into taking photos.
>>2960736She turns evil every now and then, it's normal
Durnehviir has been updated.
>>2959639NTA but thanks for this recommendation, seeing a nice change up from Vibrant LUT(still a decent mod in its own right though)
how performance intensive is bestiary
>>2960824Expect a 10%~ performance hit in CPU bound scenarios since it basically uses a bit more of your CPU, should be OK now for more people that the base game runs better.
>>2960835ty
>>2959388Nta but you can sprint, jump then shoot to do a max payne dive that moves you very far. Sliding was good enough for every small enemy trying to attack me, you can also slide into every weapon skill that makes you kneel.Just don't be a pussy and dive kick the charging minotaur, trust me.
>>2959394Sebastian looking fine there, thanks for taking him along. Hope he gets a rotten soft boiled egg in case there's an emergency
>>2958300>wait you look tuff, let me take a pic

>>2960743There's some things I only notice in photos, so those gobs don't actually carry torches but maces on fire? That's kind metal...
>>2960614>the only move in the game quick enoughyou obviously have not fought the fierce minotaur from bestiaryObviously mods push the game balance beyond what was intended, but the fact remains that as soon as enemy aggression and movesets start to amp up archer is the first to crumble, they just don't have the answers to some attacks.
>>2957587cheers m8 gonna give yours a go during the weekend
>>2957948yes
>>2959337>sorcerer, mage and now trickster all get float>thief's double jump passive is downgraded to walljump passive + concussion blast active skill>archer doesn't get any athletic movement skills despite their whole deal outside of the bow being kicks and slidesi hate it

>>2961804
>>2961790Links for Hard Mode detailshttps://gamestalk.net/dragons-dogma-2-dark-arisen-hard-mode-special-rewards/>In an interview with V Jump WEB...https://vjump.shueisha.co.jp/news/n04_20260919_01/>Kinoshita: First of all, in Hard Mode, the experience points you gain are double that of Normal Mode. We've done a lot of playtesting during development, but what I'm really excited about is "New Game on Hard Mode." I think it will make the adventure in the main game even more exciting. The concept is to provide a sense of adventure where you can't let your guard down, like when you start with the goblins and you might get defeated if you underestimate them, so it's less likely that you'll end up in a situation where you get too strong and later enemies become too easy to defeat. You can play while making all sorts of resolutions, like "I'm so glad I found a medicinal herb here!" or "I've been saving this potion to defeat you!">Titles and special rewards aren't included, but there are actually a few hidden elements. Basically, Hard Mode is a rank-up system for players who aren't satisfied with the battles in Normal Mode and want to be stronger. If the rewards become the sole motivation for playing Hard Mode, it would force players who play Casual or Normal to play Hard Mode. Regarding the hidden elements, I'm not sure how much I should talk about...Kinoshita: Well, I don't want to raise the bar too high, so it's just that I can buy a few more clothes now.
>>2961845Am I fucking crazy or does this just sound almost nonsensical What the fuck is "Hard Mode on New Game"Why is he waffling about how early game enemies will be more difficult like yes we know.Just do what you did in DA1 that's what we're all expecting
>>2961876>What the fuck is "Hard Mode on New Game"he just means doing a new save file on hard mode and not ng+
>>2961790If it's tuned for capped stats I don't see why not
>>2961691Arigatou
>>2961876>Just do what you did in DA1 that's what we're all expectingAre you fucking insane, there's no way anyone actually wants that worthless hard mode again. It won't help much if at all.
>>2961820>>2961845NPC cosmetics pls
PLEASE MAKE ARISEN ONLY VOCATION ITEMS AVAILABLE FOR SAME COLOR PAWNS!!!
>>2961972If they said titles and special rewards aren't included them I'm sure it means Hard Mode exclusive armors are out of the question. It's likely just going to something like being able to buy the Unmoored World weapons and armor from merchants in Vermworth.
pinpoint volley kinda feels useless. I get the general idea, swift targeting to multiple enemies etc, but it really feels like rivet shot shits out damage, so I can mop up trash quickly and then focus fire on the actual problem
>>2962006All the archer armor I've seen so far looks pretty bad. I'm a little saddened.
>playing with bestiary mods, enemy resistance overhaul, 70% reduced exp gain, double damage taken and 3x enemy health>level 19 and still haven't finished exploring vermund but I'm still somehow at the point where i can crush most non-boss enemies without much troubleholy shit just how undertuned was this game
>>2962011Join the party, warrior exclusive armor sucks dick across the board.
>>2962017Yeah I agree and it's a large part of why I don't play Warrior. Not to mention in Itsuno's boundless vision Fighter can equip some Warrior equipment but Warrior cannot equip any of Fighter's equipment. At least the DLC Warrior armor looks better because "armor with fur" is a hard concept to fuck up.
>>2961885Which makes no sense since he isn't making dark souls and NG doesn't scale so it should make literally no difference
>>2961876>Just do what you did in DA1 that's what we're all expectingHard mode on DA1 was a meme, I'm not expecting that and I don't want that at all, they mentioned on some earlier interview that hard mode would be suitable for players at or near the LV cap so I'm expecting something actually transformative but if they fail to deliver it's OK since I can just continue using Simple/Custom difficulty tweaks.
>>2962073>suitable for players at or near the LV capSo no one then because for some retarded reason they made the level cap 999?Honestly you're kind of right about DD1 hard mode but that's what it mostly looks like aside from Kinoshita waffling some confusing bullshit about itThey should have just added a difficulty slider by now
i love vermund so much but they really need to add more enemies and a proper hard modecancel monster hunter and reuse all its skeleton for more dd2 expansion
my realest complaint is that the equip from storage is one million times worse than in dd1. WHY do they do it like this??straight fucking downgrade
>>2962124I literally never even use this featureIt saves like 2 seconds and I'm going to have to go back into the menu to store whatever I just unequipped anywayWhat I hate is how combining in storage puts everything into your inventory not the storage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXfMG7paNc021:00 rite dungeon
>>2962111more realistically, it'll be 'suitable' for level 200 but probably more balanced towards starting at like 70-80 or something. end of base game into BBI styleas far as hard mode goes I just wanna see a goblin explode into 10k treats again, it was stupid as fuck but it was funny
>>2962125I think there's an option specifically for this in the menu
>>2962133You are right, it's under game settings. Thanks.
>>2962126they look much bigger
warfarer but you switch between elemental weapons
Is it fucked up I kind of hate they've said they'll allow transmog to other classes gearJust feels like it removes a lot of personality from the vocationsGamers nowadays seemingly resent any restrictions in their games whatsoever
>>2962163It's autistic and gay for you to feel that way, yes.
500 gold on the ogre
>>2962177Well eventually all games will end up a soulless blob of nothing because everything has been Quality of Life'd to death and it'll be people like yours fault.Transmog has always been shit anyway, part of what makes finding new equipment rewarding is that it looks cool and you remove that aspect entirely by just allowing people to make shit look like whatever. It also annihilates any sense of limitations in the game world, and removes one of the things that made Warfarer a "hero" class that you only get toward the end of the game.But I guess I need to hecking LET *clap* PEOPLE *clap* ENJOY *clap* THINGS!
>>2962197do you have a personality or were you manufactured by kiwisharty inc
>>2962197It allows for greater player expression and has no impact on those that don't want to use it. You're a gay sperg.
>>2962197>part of what makes finding new equipment rewarding is that it looks coolexactly, and that reward is completely gone if the equipment is tied to having to spec into some shitty class I'm never going to want to play
>>2962202Yes my personality is generally being jaded, moody and resistant to change, I also dislike people as a whole and will find almost any reason to "otherify" them and see the worst in them even when it's to my own detriment and doesn't make me feel any better about things aside from a false sense of justification for my own personal tastes.>>2962203It does have an impact since every pawn will be wearing the heaviest armour with the biggest stats transmogged to look like the slut corset.>You're a gay sperg.Y-you too.>>2962204That's kind of valid, a bit.
>>2962183if the ogre doesn't get distracted by girl-pawn stink.
>>2962208as opposed to every single pawn ending up wearing the objective highest statted gear?with transmog when>part of what makes finding new equipment rewarding is that it looks coolhappens but it has shit stats/is obsoleted by better gear it now still has actual value instead of being vaporized immediately.
>>2962208The people that want to use the charming corset already do, if you're making a pawn to jerk off to you're not going to care about the stats. And fuck, fully half the pawns are already seven foot maxed out hips and thighs coomfantasies and we all manage by just not hiring them. The flip side is you might see people wearing shit other than the armor their vocation buys from the dragonforged.
>>2962163Don't worry anon. I agree with you.
>>2962197>Transmog has always been shit anyway, part of what makes finding new equipment rewarding is that it looks coolOkay but then you find new equipment and it looks worse. Or get your ultimate equipment and it looks like shit. Or maybe there's a really cool looking piece of gear that's already way outclassed by the time you get it, and what are you supposed to do with it? But if it's immediately unlocked for transmog, it becomes an exciting find.Also, the DLC is going to have random skill upgrades on gear, so transmog is absolutely necessary if you don't want to clownsuit. Though I guess depending on how it works it wouldn't necessarily have to be cross-vocation.>one of the things that made Warfarer a "hero" class that you only get toward the end of the gameTransmog might be even more difficult to unlock or require extra work per each piece camouflaged, we don't know yet.When it comes to other adjacent topics I'd express similar autism, but dress-up is too good to pass up, Warfarer already exists, and we don't have a whole lot of sets per vocation as it is. AND there are sets locked to certain vocations when they really shouldn't be as well as sets arbitrarily assigned to multiple vocations while not necessarily looking like they belong on any of them.On the other hand, I'd argue some devs are too allergic to hyper-specific middle ground solutions. In this case they could, say, make transmog cross-vocation for the arisen but locked to the selected one for pawns so it'd end up working the same as it does now with Warfarer. There would still potentially be mismatch in screenshots and the like, but at least others' pawns' aesthetics would remain consistent while getting additional variety nonetheless.
>>2962229Also, transmog that unlocks late and requires extra work gives you something to work towards when getting stronger gameplay-wise stops being exciting.Just not a Wild Hearts tier anal grindfest for each piece please.
>>2962163>>2962226You're saying things out loud without considering them any deeper for half a second except "wahh it's a trend".The amount of question marks I have about why close vocations cannot equip each others gear already justifies transmog.>Fighter and WarriorOne is generally more barbarian type of armor, and the other more knightly, there's at least almost a rule for these. But they could share a lot more stuff in DD1. Why can't I have a knight with a big sword? Why are so many helmets restricted?>Sorcerer and MageLiterally robes that could go either way, Mage ones do not look holier or anything.>Archer and Thief.Literally huh? It's just leather armor, and sets split from the same vocation. Also Archer's Valkyrian Scalecloth is one of those armors that could be MS's or any vocation's.>MA and MSEach armor could literally be any other vocation's.>TricksterNo one cares about Trickster.>>2962218>as opposed to every single pawn ending up wearing the objective highest statted gear?Which is exactly what happened in the first game.>>2962219>The people that want to use the charming corset already doYes.
>>2962163ideally they'd add like +10 options for each slot for each vocation and maybe a feature like dyeing the color of armor but if they're not gonna do that i'll just take transmog
Vermundian in a feather headdress shedding a single tear as he watches me kill every buffalo in the Vernworth fields for the BBQ maister achievement.
>>2962208i for one kinda agree with you, but at the same time i just don't use it. Like it's not an eternal ferrystone thing, for transmog you really can just not use it and that way it's as if it's not there at all. Like take DDO which has it, i simply don't use it and sometimes even forget it does have it
>>2962163They said this? Cumfirmed?
>>2962126I was expecting Everfall boss arenas behind the doors, so this looks nice
>>2962125Try it. It prompts "Send previous equipment to storage?" at every swap
Caturday
>>2962126So those require getting the godsbane, but Kinoshita said that some of them are tuned for level 20 characters. Why would they start that low?
>>2962163Armor should not have a vocation requirement.
how's the fps on pc now?
>>2962326i actually think this would be fine if you also just including something like a magick (attack) stat penalty for wearing high resist/knockback armournot sure how you'd penalize thieves/archers for wearing heavy armour though, maybe slower attack speed?
>>2962327significantly better, we're talking like 30+ fps better
>>2962315i don't know the person playing this is using dlc gear but is lv20
>>2962327great but with bestiary mod it drops
>>2962327Great but not excellent.Towns are still better modded, but otherwise 100-120 fps with everything including raytracing maxed is very much normal.
wth are these three doing here?
>>2962351UW, so I assume first day traveling
Thanks to all Arisen who took Maxine out on adventures! >>2950963She hopes to travel with her favorite pawns she met beyond the rift once we reach the appropriate prowess.I gave her a Guardian's tome so she can get extra practice of the arts instead of sneaking off with my grimiores!In spite of now learning to master Salamander, she still insists on offering large bounties of gold on simple pawn quests to fill our packs with menial supplies in the hope that I put her in charge of safeguarding my compendium of magical texts.>>2961531She never mentioned this, probably because she was an Aphonite.

>>2962412The normal version looks better than these anyway desu
>>2962163i always hated transmog, in an mmo it makes more sense because there will be low leveled gear that you have 0 reason to ever use again but in dd1 and 2 the difficulty isn't hard enough for you to not just use whatever you think looks best

I'm always late to the discussions... Anyway, we've heard so some many things about Hard modo that I think I will be let down but to sum up what I remember:>It will be balanced for people near or at the lv cap (???)>different enemy placement>more aggressive enemiesAnd then what we learned today, it already sounds significantly better than the first game's hard mode but I'm expecting some of this stuff has either been mistranslated or simply too good to be true.

>>2962559for you
>>2962555You should probably do the Melve quests
never thought I'd see such a weird discourse over transmogification.
>>2962471Because there are a dozens of gears pawns can't even touch
>>2962327Games actually playable on steam deck now
Wanted to install this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1556 but it has too many requirements, skimpy mods aren't worth this much effort.
>>2962690It's still not perfect but the difference is night and day, this is without frame generation or any kind of upscaling, 720p interlaced with everything on low and medium textures. As soon as you start moving it will dip below 30, but this same area used to be 9 fps at launch, literally
>>2962722Not perfect is kind of a hallmark of the Dragons Dogma series. So even if steam deck is only "playable", it's still nice. I guess I owe the Switch 2 a big old thanks since they bothered optimizing it for that piece of shit.
>>2962163Dogma is mainly a single player game so I don't really care, although I used to feel that way about transmog in Monster Hunter. If you wanted to be a metacuck you had to wear one of the 3 or so fugly clownsuits and everyone could see you for either a newbie hunter trying to get to endgame or a sweaty tryhard. To me that added to the 'feeling' of being in a guild tavern and seeing a new face walk into your lobby. On the other hand if a max rank hunter came into your lobby wearing the weakest armor you would either think he's going to be a godlike player thats going to carry you or a troll trying to triple cart and fail your quest. If you wanted to fashion hunt, you had to give up meta skills and instead git gud as a player to make up for it. And there was a special feeling if you happened to get a nice talisman that lets you make your own custom clownsuit in the armor set searcher that actually looks good, like the stars aligned in your favor.Nowadays though everyone is just going to copypaste cookie cutter meta builds from their favorite sloptuber then just edgemax/coomermax on their transmogs. Nowadays though I'm not so hard on it and I do appreciate transmog more but I felt armor had more 'value' beyond just stats and looks back then, idk the kids these days would call it 'aura' I guess. Wilds is a shit anyways so I don't care anymore. Dogma 2
SEND HELP
>>2962685yeah but that could just be fixed by making armors either fighter/warrior/spearhand, thief/archer/magick archer or mage/sorcerer/trickster, the restrictions are stupid yeah
>>2962770what the fuck, is this what bestiary does? Looks fun as hell.
are you guys going straight to hard mode or beat the dlc once on normal then go hard? admittedly i am a bit scared of getting my ass kicked if it is really as difficult as kinoshita is making it sound like
>>2962850there's no way it's as hard as very hard preset on custom difficulty tweaks so going straight to hard mode.
>>2962850i want to go straight to hard mode, if it's actually good. If it's like DD1's though then i'll use mods instead
>>2962860I still have PTSD from Daimon receiving zero damage with my level 100+ character so I wouldn't be so sure
>>2962850I feel like putting my main overleveled arisen through Hard Mode solo trickster pacifist. No DLC portion, yet for that obviously
>>2962850Im like lvl 90. Gonna do the norgan portion on normal and wait to switch to hard mode and doing the lost rites in NG+ so I can experience a full plsythrough on hard mode
EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH DLC
>>2963012SoonBut not soon enough
POV youre a goblin and you and your friend are having a really bad day
>>2963105Don't update sebastian if you dont need to, I am levelling him on thief and its kind of mid compared to warrior. For some reason. Great capture of him!
>>2963114I'm going to complete his quest and send him back with something nice that you will probably like at your level since I'm about to go into endgame and he's still quite low leveled but will pick him back up again next cycle for sure.Also get this damn slut some clothes, zoowee mama!
>watch 2 big monsters fight for like 5 minutes>approach them>barely anything is missing from their healthfuck you too
What's the timing on Warrior's Repulse? Release your charge attack the instant the enemy attack connects with you or are you trying to time your weapons swing to collide with the enemy at the right time?
>>2963170Was recently looking into this for a mod, it specifically checks that your weapon's collider hits the incoming attack's collider. So it's not merely releasing the charge attack just before the attack hits, you need to account for both the monster's swing/reach and your weapon's swing/reach.
>>2963129Before you send check his update. We about 41 now. Also, tis not for you to gainsay the arisens preference in clothing their pawns. To each their own. Also, thanks for hiring him!
which pawn class do you hire most?
>>2963208warrior/fighter, everyone already has a mage by default, including me, so heals are covered. I don't like hiring sorcs because I want to play the game, I feel like archer is useless so having some meat shields is good
>>2962163I think vocation specific transmog is okay especially as an endgame unlocked reward but cross vocation transmog is kinda lame I agree. A mage should look like a mage and not a knight in plate armor.
>>2963208Usually thief to focus on jobbers while my fighter or warrior arisen kills the boss. If I don't have a mage main pawn I'll get one for on-tap debilitation curing.
>>2963208Whatever my party is lacking. Doing a "twin ruleset" playthrough right now so the Arisen and Pawn have the same exact vocation/skill/augment setup the entire time.
>>2963208Randos and hire backs, idgaf about vocation
>>2963208Whatever cool pawn i see, really
I should give this to the ostensibly evil guy that is in cahoots with Disa to usurp my rightful throne.
>>2952242>675Holy, are you starting the expansion on hard mode?
>>2963486Your game looks really nice
>get raped by wilhelma>leave brothel>pawn upset it made me laff. imagine they let us fuck our pawns in the dlc instead of random skanks haha
>>2963807>imagine they let us fuck our pawns in the dlc instead of random skanks hahaimagine that, haha!
>tfw your fav cutie pawn doesn't get updated anymore and you have to leave them behindReply with your fav pawn that you wish would get updated instead of forgotten.
>>2963944Daimon's situation had literally nothing to do with Olra being a Pawn and I don't know why people still meme this. Ashe had to choose between a former lover/mother figure and his newest lover. That's the situation that created the Dark Arisen™
>>2962709no, it doesn't. barely that many steps to go through lmao.
She fucking ZAPPED that minautor
The Drake is no more
>>2963347>>2963364based and same
>>2963486They did such a poor job with this, it's guaranteed they had to cut a lot of stuff from the game and there was nothing they could do by the time papa Tsujimoto told them time's up. Reminder that DD2 did not let you equip gear from storage at launch, it's such an obvious flaw you just know they had to wrap things up in a hurry
>>2963486see, thinking its your rightful throne is the commentary. they're not really the bad guys they're just people trying to enact change in the world and to give the people a bit more agency over their governance. there's strings of all this in the story but i think as it progresses the game does a bad job at communicating that. like, the 'true' ending and going to the unmoored world is just you asking "but what if i don't want to become the sovran" but the game doesn't do the best job at pointing you towards that as really an option or something that you can be asking. it should do more in the 2nd half once you begin to figure out what his plans are and give you a choice to join his efforts (and have to discover that in the end the dragon is going to ruin his plans anyway and its up to you to do the godsbane thing) or continue to treat him as the antagonist and sabotage him and have some other confrontation with the dragon. idk
>>2964009I went ahead and installed everything and the leg/pants don't look right, the thong is invisible and the feet are also invisible, I'm too retarded for mods...
Ummm... cats...
Good news, this new "DD2 Pak Bridge" mod https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1609?tab=files fixes this nude mod's skimpy clothing optional collection https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/5?tab=description
>>2964975Nyo...
Stumbled upon 2DA skills. They aren't functional or anything, only the spells have (placeholder?) charge anims and that's it. The rest is tpose.
>>2965107>carpet bombingCan't wait to play as the new IDF soldier vocation
>>2965107Oh no, spoilers!
>>2965107>every vocation gets two new skills except Trickster which gets threeWe've probably seen over half of these, huh.
>>2965107>frozen stormGicel bros... not like this...
Gicel was cool but DD2 frigor is just a smaller version with a step up pattern as opposed to the twisting roots pattern
>>2964840Make sure you have the latest framework nightly. Saw one of the comments say to uninstall the mods and reinstall per order of the instructions.
>>2965107So far we've seen the 2 thief ones, the 2 sorcerer ones, the 2 archer ones, 2 of trickster, one for warrior and one for spearhand.
>>2961952my man Im sorry but please tell me which is your pawn so I can hireI underestimated the power of brown booty
in any case ready to take some of your cool toons to the bullshit I set up with difficulty tweaks
>>2963638Thank you, that's mostly the games amazing lighting, reshade and the cutscene quality doing the work though. I run it on a 3060 on DLSS performance mode.>>2964422>>2964486Yeah they obviously wanted to do more with this, as it stands an astute player will connect the dots and understand that Phaesus isn't actually the "bad guy" and he's actually the one using Disa but I think that can be quite easily lost on people first time. In honesty the game jumps to the end VERY abruptly, you basically go the Battahl which FEELS like the halfway point as you just unlocked this whole new biome area but then you actually just meet Ambrosius, give him crystals that you may already have to hand, wait a day and then suddenly you're fighting Gigantus and Grigori. Definitely one of my least favourite things about the 2nd game vs the 1st, where it felt very clear your journey up the mountain would be where you faced Grig and "finish the game".Also being hot on Phaesus' tail and then having some random guard go "Oi cos, don't you want to go for a 12 hour nap at ye olde taverne?" was crazy immersion annihilating but kind of campy and funny so whatever.
I hate fighting golems so fucking much it's unrealfuck whoever came up with this retarded nigger gimmick enemy
>>2965329In DD1 they were harder as they didn't take any damage from magic attacks and oftentimes you could spend forever trying to get the final foot one. There was also the metal golems who had their medals floating off their body and if you weren't a ranger/strider you were solely reliant on your pawns to break them.In 2 at least you can knock them over and stuff to access the medals.
>>2965332So my point still stands, it only got stronger as they were EVEN MORE FUCKING RETARDED in dd1
>>2965309yeah, i wish the lighting in the cutscenes were in game, because I think they fucked up the auto-exposure with the 3.2 patch. Tons of blown out brightness, even the mod and reshade can only do so much.
>>2965332>metal golems who had their medals floatingAs a Warrior chad, that metal golem in the Everfall fucking SUCKED. You had to hope that one of your pawns knew to shoot it, and it was such a hassle trying to teach your pawn anytihng. I spent literally hours grinding specifically against him as a ranger to teach my pawn to do it, and it never fucking happened. I eventually just never entered the room if I didn't have a ranged option.
>>2965337>teach pawnsI know for sure this isn't a thing whatsoever in 2 but was it ever even a thing in 1?
>>2965341yeah, a prime example would be relighting your lantern if it got snuffed out due to getting wet - the pawn will start doing it.
Since I'm in UW I now get to be the arbiter of Lesser Dragon pawn badges, perhaps you should all ask me nicely and explain why I should take your pawn for a kill? Unrelated cool screenshot of Flink.>>2965333I'm saying you're being a big babbu though because in 2 they're relatively easy, though yes they can be frustrating when they have a sliver left you can't quite get.>>2965336Unfortunately everyone seems to be overlooking all the issues the update caused because of the FPS gainz.>>2965337Absolute nightmare, there was one in the forest too who almost softlocked me when playing as MK as my cannons couldn't hit them.>>2965341Absolutely and in fact it was a big deal, using pawn commands repeatedly would change their inclination and they would learn specific techniques against enemies when shown by the player or another pawn.Honestly I kind of miss it all, there was a noted difference between a good pawn with properly leveled stats that had been trained vs a bad pawn without them. Now it's fairly homogenous, with the exception of badges.
>>2965347Crying about retarded things gives me great joy
>>2965341Bestiary knowledge, inclination changes are what you could teach.>>2965346Fuck's sake not this shit again. EVERY PAWN DOES IT FROM DAY 1.Do we need to revisit this twice a year?>>2965347>using pawn commands repeatedly would change their inclinationYes.>they would learn specific techniques against enemies when shown by the player or another pawnAs part of certain enemies' bestiary knowledge, like grapple an undead that's grappling someone else.
there should be ice golems that dont have specific weakpoints, but they get smaller and faster as they lose hp before melting away to nothing
>>2965346>>2965347people always say this and then they say as proof>yeah i throw a bunch of rocks and then i noticed my pawn throwing a bunch of rocks so teaching definitely worksbut i have yet to see a single shred of actual proof, I would think there'd be at least 1 mod that adjusts it or does something with the 'teaching' rules if it existed, or some actual concrete information but literally all of it is just vibes.
The more I play the more I dislike this eternal ferrystone, it used to be SO rewarding making it here and just picking them up everywhere and from chests and now they're just a complete fucking wasted item. It pisses me off even more because the EF solves a non existent problem since 1 run through UW basically gives you so many stones to use for the next run that it's unnecessary so I don't even think "it should be NG+ exclusive" works either.>>2965350Valid.>>2965353>As part of certain enemies' bestiary knowledge, like grapple an undead that's grappling someone elseThat's what I said, that falls under learning specific techniques against enemies.>>2965356I mean you can believe what you like but that's been my experience and I've got several hundred hours in DD1.
>>2965270>tfw still using herI promise. I'll send her back soon.The cringe twink, >>2956331He likes fire.>tfw I recognize some of those names>feelsgoodman.jpg>>2965329>>2965332As a primarily Sorc player I actually appreciated that I couldn't just auto delete the golems like everything else in the game.
>>2965357>That's what I saidJust specifying so no one else is confused
>>2965353>Do we need to revisit this twice a year?now I think back you're actually you're right, I had the bug at the start of game (down the well in Cassardis) where my main pawn would constantly relight their lantern instead of fighting to the point I had to take away their lantern which I thought was learned behavior at the time. My bad.
teamwork makes the dream work
>>2965429i hope when 2Dark2Arisen drops, they make it a chance that minotaurs are accompanied by satyrs in the base game.
>Nadinia says to speak to Phaesus about evacuating>you can't because he disappears from existence until you activate the beacon>activate and complete the beacon which he is obviously involved in>he disappears again, no dialogue or shit all after he runs to the entrance of the palace and i destroy the pot>he's at the talos body to initiate that quest now because ???I don't know if this is a bug or what, I swear he used to speak to you after the beacon and mention going there and would exist in the game world even outwith the beacon and have some dialogue about not leaving? Impossible to tell what's a bug now and what's part of Capcoms shitty updates.
>>2965446Nevermind turned out as he ran to the front of the palace he died after totally jobbing to the Unmoored goblins, and Nadinia also died to the Saurians inside the palace so I'm 2 wakestones poorer and his dialogue is broken. Might need to turn off difficulty tweaks because he literally died so fast I never noticed. Maybe also a bit of idiocy in design having a killable NPC run directly into a group of extremely strong monsters.Frustratingly the game gives you NO autosaves during that entire sequence so it's a full restart to try and keep him alive now.
>>2965446>>he's at the talos body to initiate that quest now because ???If you walk into Ambrosius in Unmoored World, he will come to you to tell you Phaesus is going to Volcanic Island to study the colossus. Problem is, I only noticed on like my 5th playthrough because I never gave him enough time to approach me and start the conversation
>>2965455Where does this happen? I thought Phaesus would say it after I complete the beacon without him dying but come to think of it I literally haven't seen Ambrosius at all in UW yet.
>>2965453i remember him dying on me when the game was new and i didn't have any mods installed, i can only imagine how that goes with stronger enemies
>>2965460Not well for anyone. Apparently I made it even harder by doing the evac first before the beacon as all NPCs start slowly walking to the beach which puts many of them directly in the path of the enemies so him and Nadinia were definitely not the only causalities and I can't even rest to get them all out the way because of the limit on rests in UW.Which I've never understood by the way, what even is the purpose of limiting rests in UW other than a minor lore consideration which is completely sidelined by the fact we can stay forever with All Heals anyway. I was surprised to find that there is no mod to remove this restriction but don't think I can make it myself since I have literally 0 experience making REngine mods.Anyway I'll take a break for a while as I got frustrated a bit and I'm sure we'll succeed later on.
>>2965458I'm pretty sure this can happen as soon as you leave Phaesus' room after you retrieve your pawn
>japanese sphinx voice while fighting itAre the english shrieks just as annoying?holy fuck am i tempted to switch just for this
>>2965583I remember this now but he's not there for me anymore at least. At least that explains it.
I've always had trouble with those difficulty tweak mods since I don't know what settings are best. Been using mura's preset and all the big monsters are just an unbearable bullet sponge chore. What do people here use?
>>2965866i just use the normal preset and cap my level at 100feeling like a wet fart for the entire game isn't for me
>>29658662.5x damage taken by me and pawns2x HP for normal enemies, 2.5x for bossesNo adjustment to pawn damage output (I find nerfing your pawns makes you the carry even more than usual)1.25x damage on downed and finishers (I boost damage here because it feels better)1.20x loss gauge increase (just makes camping/resting more important)0.75 stagger multiplier on all enemies (reduces their stagger a bit)As I'm using CDT I have both AI tweaks set to enhanced and enemy aggression on 2.5%I don't touch XP or anything and I'm level 110. Feels about right.
>>2965866If you're a new character and not playing NG+ i have basically cleared all of Vermund with also bestiary installed with these settings in Custom Difficulty Tweaks.Also using Gear Progression Overhaul. Mura's Preset is designed for NG+ if you were trying to use it on a fresh save.
The sphinx wasn't really worth it, at least that how i feel like. Its pretty cool and all, but not worth the time.
>>2966025that pretty much sums up 95% of all quests, caves, locations and chests in the game unfortunately, unless you go full modbeast.
>>2966025Good thing you didn't direct the game, then
>>2966025One portcrystal, the ability to duplicate any item in the game, 100k, the ring of disfavor to cut Medusa head more comfortably were already enough for me. Then 3 ferrystones were also a big deal when they were 10k and the eternal ferrystone wasn't a thing. It's one of the most memorable questlines in an adventure game ever to me personally, but like everything else in the game it has issues and feels half baked
The sealing phial for example, it's effectively a cool gimmick with no practical use case. You can grab NPCs to teleport with them so you can easily accomplish the same task, especially now that fast travel is free
>>2966141some quests reward ferrystones despite them now being uselessadding a single item was a lot easier than going back and fixing all of the rewards that item invalidates, so they only did the formerdon't worry, dark arisen will fix it, and then the only time you'll ever see the original map and its quests ever again is if you're hopping to ng+
>>2966149The original map is getting 12 new dungeons with unique rewards, and even once all the rewards have been collected there will still be some cool bossfights inside. A few of them were shown in the new trailer
>>2965354That would be so cute and sad.
>>2950055>>2957157Amy is now training as a fighter ! Please be nice to her, even tho she's probably quite useless.
>>2965347He's so tuff>>2966025And what would make her worth the time for you? I think she's one of the coolest things in the game. Even if her rewards were shit, I'd still visit her everytime
>>2966176Took her out earlier, she's actually applying the finishing blow to a Minotuar in this pic - not useless at all.
>>2965866Using Simple Difficulty Tweaks, at LV90 (so end-game weapons) and just playing with my pawn, no support pawns this is what I use (pic related), everything is vanilla, so 1.0x XP gain too.
hi
>>2966417My favorite whitoid...
>>2966283Thank you. She got some upgrades ! She won't get cold again during those dark desert nights.
>>2966503why is she bald
>>2966571She has white hair
>>2966571its the lightning on white hair
Too many pawns to hire...
>>2966627I gave up last thread...
>>2965641Playing this game in Japanese is retarded. Imagine missing the Medieval English kino.
My wife Ulrika is cute.
>>2966709But what about ookami desu
>>2966716
>>2966627>>2966651Expedition runs will fix it
>>2966727It's kind of an open thing between me, her and our shared hotwife Wilhemina.
>>2966739But that's cheating
Any rarities to sell
Another dogged adventurer
>>2966716She is the cutest rapist I've ever seen.
>>2966803Great picture of her!I wish you could bring NPCs with you by asking instead of them having to come to you with an escort quest.
>>2966828I never bothered with it, could I put an noc in thay sealed jar and bring them to fights? What are the downsides? Do they have to walk back where they belong snd get killed on the way?
>>2966911Probably yeah, you could do that but I expect they likely would.
Catching up a bit, glad that more stuff's being updated
alt ver
I don't get it
>>2966924>>2966928>>2966935>>2966941your composition and lighting are so goodare you using any reshade?
I love this game so fucking much it's unreal.>>2966941>>2966935First one is definitely the best, the way his face is lit in gold with the wreath looks amazing.
>>2966951Don't worry, you will GET it.
>>2966963Just these 3 things for reshade, otherwise it's just adjusting the lighting and such in photomode
I shan't let them harm you...!
Was looking at my played hours on steam and confused when it said 430 hours when I'm pretty sure it was way lower at some 300 hours. Then it says pic related which is literally impossible since I only started playing again yesterday maybe for 5 hours. What does that mean?
Monday...
>>2967026That was me, I used your account for a bit, sorry.
>>2967026Wow, you were having so much fun you lose track of time and don't realise you've played for 3 days straightTruly the greatest game oat
>>2966982How nice of her to sit with me on the beach. That's what good friends do.
>>2966935>2560x1440>>2966941great ones fucking saved ty m8
>>2966924>>2966928>>2966935>>2966941Rad as hell
Was there ever a way to completely remove the awful volumetric lighting?
>>2967113Graphics Suite Lite, but it will cause graphical glitches in a couple areas
I don't know when they did it but you know that little menu animation that played whenever you upgraded gear at a blacksmith and you would have to wait for it to end before upgrading to the next star? Now you can just skip it, it's a very nice change because you can upgrade your shit FAST now.
>>2966176There's something about her visage, she looks unique. Well done with that slider fu
i never repaired regalia sword in my first playthrough so i never get to explore this cool cave
>>2967236Thank you anon, 'tis an honor!For real tho, i tried to go for something different from the bimbos/dolls/freaks you usually see. Not that i have a problem with those. Went for the motherly figure elf woman type.
Is there a list of the best skills to take on pawns ? I know they can't really use some of them properly. Looked at the OP but didn't see it.
>looking for a level 40 mage>all pawns with 4 skillsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
definitely went overboard with the difficulty
>>2967302Fighter:>Cloudward>Burst>Hindsight>Flawless GuardWarrior:>Mountain Breaker>Razing Sweep> InspiritThief:>Plunder>ImplicateMage:>Celerity>Solemnity>Empyrean>weapon buffArcher:>Deathly Arrow>Spiral Arrow>Explosive ArrowSorcerer:>Augural Flare>LevinThese are the skills that I generally like to see pawns have.
>>2967507>Mage:>>Celerityfucker spams this thing constantly...
Seems like pawns no longer disappear when they jump into the brine? Pretty cool.
>>2967659no they definitely do
>>2967659The unofficial patch makes that change.
>>2967721I don't have that.>>2967717it takes a moment, but they reappear. only happened twice so far though. maybe it only happens if combat is over?
>>2967728It's always been a thing, it happens rarely. Feels more like a bug than a feature
>>2967728>it takes a moment, but they reappear. only happened twice so far though. maybe it only happens if combat is over?if you run away from a dead/dying pawn they reappear at your feetit can be used to make reviving a pawn easier or save a brined pawn, useful if one fell off a cliff too
>>2950055>>2966176She now peaked as a fighter, for now. She's dwarf forged (mostly) kitted out.
>teehee going to level up warrior>walk around catcity>drake shows up>get gapped but we kill it>get inside coal mine>poison griffin there>get gapped but we kill iti still hate warrior but this was fun
>>2967879>>poison griffinThose are hard as FUCK.
>hello I will spawn here now :D
>>2967903That's fucked up.
no word on how big the expansion will be as a download, right
>>2968360I can't find anything about it.I doubt it'll be larger than the base game, but that recent update was like 60 gigs so who knows...
>finished most of the quests>found all meister skills>finished to grind mystic spearhandI just need to check if i'm not missing some must-have item and then i can finish the story. Honestly, the eternal ferrystone is a blessing. No shit the game was taking ages to finish without it. I like adventuring and stuff, but some quests make you go back and forth so many fucking times its crazy.
>>2968388Yes, but it downloaded the entire game again
>>2968408I'm actually missing the archer skill. I did the quest and everything and i guess i forgot to go back to elf daddy in time to get it ? He won't give it to me now. Fuck me.
>>2968449nvm i'm a retard i just had to boost his affinity. Old elf cunt.
Haven't sent them back quite yet but it's going good
>>2968526Damn, Sebastian looking POWERFUL
>>2967520Should I drop this from my mage pawn?
>>2968526Cover those pecs buddy, you're putting the girls to shame.
>>2968526the biggest flaw is our characters don't get covered in gore and blood like in Dragon Age Origins. Imagine.
>>2967903oh fug :DDD
>>2968408>I like adventuring and stuff, but some quests make you go back and forth so many fucking times its crazy.Worked fine for me on launch and introduced a level of challenge in planning out how to do quests and when to avoid thisI don't want to say something terribly insulting but this is a bad take.
Holy shit I'm never playing melee again this faggot dragon just kept flying around and this stupid fight lasted the whole ingame day I miss mystic knight so much bros
>>2968672So you had an epic long fight with a beast thrice your size before you finally felled it with great effort and reaped the rewards of his crystallised blood. That's what the game is about.
>>2968531I bet they can hear her clapping from the city
>>2968694There was nothing epic about it, it was miserable! 90% of the fight was waiting for the drake to get down and the rest was fighting it, truly I am not made to play melee classes because it was not an enjoyable experience at all compared to using the shotgun skill and kicking the dragon's heart as an archer
>>2968710That's fair, honestly after I said that I realised I'm kind of "that guy" for this game where I basically defend literally every single thing about it even if I kind of understand really why the other person feels the way they do.
Chances that this fat fuck is grooming my poor little Sven?
Need beastren pussy on my face right fucking now dude
REQUESTING ASSISTANCE
Is there a mod that makes the health and stamina disappear when you're not in combat? I like playing HUDless but when I fight I wanna know how my health is doing without opening the menu.
is sorc any fun to play
>>2969157It's not about having fun, it's about everything dying in a microsecond.
>>2969174good enough, i guess
>>2969102Isn't that what the auto setting does
>>2969102I use the mod where you go to settings Interface->HUD->Player HUD: On
>>2969211No, it just dims it.
>>2969225Dumbass thats obviously the opposite >>2969229Oh
>>2969102Amazon position with Darraghs warrior pawn
>new save>most vocations I like are maxed out>got all meister skills>gear is decent enough >somehow beat the corrupted chimera with cute /vm/ pawns>next quest is the dragon>lvl 44Would this be a good place to stop BLASTING and wait for xpac? Did I forget something?
>>2969348I plan to just play until it comes out, I'm in UW right now but I know if I wanted to get back to near endgame quickly again I could do so very easily.
What's the fastest you've beaten the game? I beat NG+ in about 2 1/2 hours the other day to get the peace achievement.
>>2969361yeah. I just hope the trial dungeon gear isn't worthless in Norgan, or there's some other reason to clear these (gold/mats/etc.)
>>2969381Based on the difficulty of the corrupted chimera, I think the new dungeon gear will be a nice starter for Norgan but get outpaced pretty quickly.
why does the spearknight magik speargunne or whatever suck so much dickit's so bad
>>2969460because it's not mystic knight
>>2969464i guess
>>2969460Does plenty damage and topples big enemies, its fine.It's biggest issue is stamina drain.
>>2969460MSH is one of my biggest disappointments with the game tbd. I was so excited to try it and it just never clicked.
>>2969529It has like 3 good skills if you count the master skill as goodthe rest are literally whatever tier, don't even feel good to use
>>2969533Yup, doesn't help that the gameplay loop devolves into spamming light attack and the vocation skill until shit dies. Maybe it's a bit of a skill issue on my part but feels like all frosting no cake, it's fun to God Hand goblins and all but it doesn't make up for it.
MSH would be interesting with the warrior's shoulder charge.
>>2969375yeah i've defo ran through the main storyline in a couple hours. NG+ when you don't have to think about upgrading gear the game just flies by. there's a bunch of littlle time saves you can do like after Monster Culling, go to the Nameless Village, do the little trial thing and drop a portcrystal outside so once you get the bit of the quest to find out about the fake sovran you can just ferrystone -> talk to the guy and leave again. i did it a couple times because i wanted Sphinx kills for my pawn and nobody was giving me them as a pawn quest :(
Do perma enchanted weapons benefit more from strength or magick? I know dwarven is the best but if you ignore that what enhancement type is best for elemental daggers for example?
>>2969619i think it's still just dwarven. your other option is the elf stuff to greatly improve the magick damage but then you don't have the physical damage or knockdown so.. you're still going to be melee attacking, so you need both.
>>2969619Dwarven or Vermundian. Elven only makes sense for casters.The elemental buff is at the end of the day a nice bonus and that's it.
>>2969102Hey may be a usurper and a charlatan but the man has taste.>>2969261>picrel
>>2950055>DDDA>Nintendo Switch>Tehanu>Lvl. 87>Mage>CA0A-3057-1613Very low chances but posting just in case
I finally managed to rest in spookyland without getting eaten
>>2969817bruh this looks worse than when i tried to bruteforce the game on my old shitbox
>>2969949What a pointless post. It looks fine and anyone who isn't a secondary spent most of their time with DDDA on an Xbox 360 or PS3 anyway which looked a lot worse.
>>2969959Yeah i somehow don't believe that
>>2969920I wish they featured more castles/settlements with zombies, always enjoyed how the DD team portrays them. Shit, have the zombies raid the wheat fields of the capital, or goblins for that matter.
>>2969959yeah, idk what anon is talking about. PS3 and 360 ran up to 720p resolution while swtich 2 is 900p docked. stable 30fps as well.
>>2969949It's just the terrible compression of the screenshots on Switch, the game itself looks fine
poor worm
Anyone noticed that ever since the sept 1st update pawns don't run into the healing auras anymore? Even in the TGS demo footage from capcom pawns still don't do it. I don't know if this is intentional behaviour or a bug.
>>2968716to be desu some of that is on me, i hate melee in this game and im still butthurt we got mystic cuckhand instead of mystic knight. just wanted to try out then again because i can't cut tails etc with archeri miss abyssal anguish so much>>2970243Yeah pawns are kinda retarded now. Mine sometimes stands there watching for a few seconds before joining in a fight, pawns in general getting stuck a lot with obstacles, not climbing stairs etc
>mystic knight one trick ponyspearhand is way way way better
>>2970243>>2970265Pawn AI is really erratic now, I hope they're taking notice of the people complaining about it and fix it soon, in my experience Warriors pawns seem to have it the worst since they will constantly be out of position and miss ttacks.
>>2970243Yep, noticed. Mage will just stand around spamming Anodyne over and over too
>>2970270Holy based but ddg isn't ready for this discussion
>>2970270Are you really calling MK one trick pony when mystic spermhand is light attack spam
>>2970270They're both kind of bad desu ne.
>>2970291MSH has a bunch of stuff you can do even if its somewhat less effectiveParry based MK was pretty based but is now rolled into fighter kind of, but we all abused the shit out of great cannon because it was what made the class viable
>>2970299Yeah and it was awesome with ruinous sigil, the elemental parries and abyssal anguish Spearhand is lame as fuck
>>2970305Spearhand is the better balanced class overall with more interesting skills, yes it was cool to put a cannon on a sigil and watch it absolutely nuke everything smaller than a Gorecyclops but it was literally 1 trick. The elemental parries were the best part of the class but like I said are now in the fighter kit anyway.MSHs biggest problem is the uncharged redoubted bolt is literally useless but otherwise it's a great class.
>>2970308how's shield sage
>>2970329Sorry, despite talking a big game and having a decade and a half experience with the series I was too much of a secondary to play DDO when it was Japan only and haven't been inspired to try it since it became more accessible and I moved to PC.
>>2970291SH has great skills for every type of enemy and is one of the best class for exploring open world
>>2969817Bruh...........
>>2970359Bruh what?Why are you all having such weird reactions to this persons post
>>2970299>>2970291>>2970288>>2970292>>2970299>>2970270The fanbase already coined a term for the mystic people. If I remember correctly it was "Mystic Trannies" please do refer them as such.
>>2970371It just doesn't look good. Simple as.
>>2970329Doesn't compare, it's very much an MMO tank, but with disabling debuffs and party buffs.Wasn't as good vs faster bosses as Alchemist, but I preferred it otherwise because I feel it kept aggro for multiple enemies better even if it didn't contribute a lot in damage.
>>2970382
>mystic knight is a one trick pony>enchanting his weapon and shield, casting a sigil on the ground, casting a magic cannon on the sigil, standing in that exact spot and perfect parrying>yep, that's all he's got, what a one dimensional way to play the game>now it's time to play strider!>think I'll climb up on that guy and stab him>wow, this is engaging and multidimensional
>>2970405That's what I'm saying mystic knight is fun as fuck
Late Mondayclops to save us from these dreadful quality posts
>>2970270>one trick pony>great cannon, sigil bullshit, and sick ass stone forest knockups if you went magick>fighter with full moon slash spam as light dragon maw and some cool weapon enchantments and counters if you go strength
Ricochet hunter's gonna go fucking crazy in the new dungeons.
>>2970387What about this, how does this look. That Switch screenshot is just badly compressed, but this was the real deal. Fun times
>close game for the day>realise i didn't take any photos to postfuck...
>>2970275The AI is really fucked, no idea what they did to it. Some guy here said he was looking at modifying pawn AI to fix the weirdness that seems to be introduced but it might be a lot of values, a lot of work, whatever.But yeah my pawns would just sit at like 2/3 HP and never come and heal when I was levelling mage.
>>2970675VASELINE VISION
>>2952486>>2956112Time to part ways with him since I'm beyond his level now and I made my main pawn a thief. Really reliable lad to have around, stole tons of good items and money throughout our days together, he is in my favorite and I'll hire him back when the time is right
>>2970533magick archer is a willpower check>auto aim, ridiculous stamina to damage ratio saggytitty avalanche>spend your health to just win any boss fight in one hit martyr's bolt>"I shot the wall so it means the dungeon is clear" richochet shitterthe class is fundamentally designed to stand 100m away from the fight, letting pawns take aggro while it just plinks for tons of damage and revives the pawns endlesslyit's a shitter classthere is a reason the most iconic magick archer weapon is called the magian CRUTCH
There will be no AI fixes wouldn't it
>>2970675Shieeeet, I'm gonna need my glasses for this one.
>>2970776mods will fix it
>>2970785And then the devs will steal those fixes and the console chads will benefit from them, too
>>2970821Now that's what I call win-win, it kinda happened with unofficial patch already.
>>2970837Did it? I was referring to ridog's fix for clipping mantles, so there's something else?
>>2970840>ridog's fix for clipping mantlesThat one is a better example, I was thinking of how the unofficial patch had options for disabling wandering pawn hire proposals and dragonforged visuals on gear and then later those were added as official options
>>2968618Would be cool, they already have a system for dirt accumulation and scars so yeah, blood appearing on clothing and being washed away like the dirt does seems natural. Even weapons have that slight bloody tint that lingers as you cut through enemies.
Does anyone know where a normal golem spawns in the UW?
>>2957038Wanted to hire-back before the thread expired, so we'll hunt the briney Chimera.I remember that thing downed my whole squad of level 200+ pawns on PS5 (no mage), so this time, I'll bring along the OP elf granny as well
Why cant they just import the classes and skills from dd1 1/1.
>>2970924dullahan 5.0 will fix ittrust the plan
>>2970862How come crimson desert devs ask for advice, then immediately implement the features people want? How come Capcom cant do that.
>>2970934To be fair they're giving us hard mode, they weren't planning to (which is another can of worms, but I'll let the griffin have them for now)>>2970862Nice assist lmao
>>2970754Thanks. Glad to hear he's not suicidal anymore.
>>2970874Apparently in DD2 a metal golem isn't considered a different enemy and works for a golem pawn quest :)
battahl to volcanic island journey is peak
>>2970915Yelena contributed in severing the tail, then proceeded to surf on the stump for the remainder of the fight. The reworked Pawn AI is gonna be strange in Norgan
>>2971173>metal golemA what? Modded?
Help me decide which vocation do i level next :ArcherMagic ArcherMageThiefTricksterWarrior
>>2965357Pawns definitely copy you in DD1, it's not some insane impossible coding where they learn like modern day AI, it's "if player ____ then pawn ___". It's basically just unlisted pawn knowledge. It's a lot easier to stack boxes to get that one chest at the start of BBI if you avoid breaking boxes until you get to BBI. I used to do that on purpose on the Xbox 360 to get that chest until I decided it wasn't worth missing all the early game loot, especially since it's significantly easier to just dismiss/brine your pawns to get it. I have at least 1k hours in the game from playing it like twice a year since 2013. A fresh pawn behaves pretty differently from a pawn that inherited knowledge from your last playthrough.
>>2969920kino>>2969968I love when you infiltrate Salvation in the catacombs and the game goes full RE for a minute>>2969968Some dynamic events would be great.
>>2970270mystic knight had a few tricks, and the one it's known for (cannon) is a really cool trick that's quite unique within the game for how it interacts with the game's mechanics and how it scales well with skillful play. i think it's neat. it's a little sad there's no true successor in 2.mystic spearhand also has a few tricks, but nothing that's so good that it becomes the thing the class is known for. even the shield when it was OP wasn't flashy or fun enough to be memorable.
My updated pawn card, courtesy of the anon who took my guy out and took lots of pics of him
>>2971998kino
>>2972008Ill update it with his current look later for now I only have the first pic of my character card

>>2950055>>2957157Now going through her rogue phase.
>>2972287Dang that is good, I wish my souped up pc could run this game without crashing. Stuck with steam machine. Thanks for the great pics ill update the card in a bit
>>2972299He looks fire. Thank you so much!
>>2972366NTA but what are your specs?
>lots of hires and apparently not just from /ddg/hehe
>>2972652the game gave me npc hires for the first time.. h-haha
>>2971696A metal golem in DD1 was a whole seperate enemy with floating medals, in DD2 there is a darker grey variant of the golem that drops electrum and these to me are the "metal golems" of DD2.
Celica the fighter. She's stronk as fuark.
>>2972681They all drop the same stuff, it's just different %.There's a Battahl reddish variant, but I think the rest are the same it just depends is it raining or not.
>>2972695Well I don't want to argue with you but I'm fairly confident that's incorrect and only the grey or "metal" golem variants I'm describing drop Electrum.
Did the Pathfinder always have annoying dialogue that plays every so often telling me to finish the game after I've activated the final beacon? I don't remember this, but it's already annoying me because I set everything up so I could spend maximum time farming, exploring and doing pawn quests and now this nerd is harassing me.
>>2950054IMPORTANT NOTICETwo and a half weeks left. I propose we do move to /vg/.The posting speed has not gone down since the patch, it has increased, we're averaging 40+ images per day and over 6 posts per hour. Hot damn.We can make it in /vg/ right now, easily, and we will for another half year or so, we can then come back.And right now, here is unsustainable. We're too fucking fast for the board and the image limit. Especially if the OP bakes 40 images too early ffs.We should, and we must, go there. I propose with the next bake.
>>2972579I dont remember, not at my pc now. It was built for about 2k at the end of 2024, dd2 should run great on it (now with all the updates and optimization) but sometimes it just crashes.
>>2972727Damn, might be time for a reinstall of windows, or go linux(i went linux).
>>2972727A game crashing on your PC almost assuredly has nothing to do with when you built it or your specs.
2sorc is 2strong
>>2972715Disagree, don't think we should do that until at most a few days before DLC release if not at DLC release.
>>2972715honest question, why should /ddg/ move to /vg/?
>>2972773I don't miss having to bump the threads on /vg/
>>2972773not him but this board is very slow and the game barely fits within the topic. as it is these threads would end up crowding the board's catalog, crowding out other more deserving threads. we only moved to /vm/ in the first place because the threads became quite slow and difficult to keep alive on /vg/.
>>2972760I thought that way previously, but that's just not accepting current reality.We're fast, and we have a lot more arisens posting a lot more images. And we'd have people posting even more images if we were on /vg/.And anons interested in the game would have a much easier time finding /ddg/. This is a comfy general, but we are not and should not be a secret club. It's a general for people that want to discuss Dragon's Dogma. The loudest trolls will always stay on /v/.>>2972773Images, we're too fast for this board, and previous answer. Additionally, the only reason we are here is because we got too slow.>>2972781That's not fucking happening right now. And as I said, we will eventually probably have to move back here, but that is months and months and months away.
>>2972781>>2972784gotcha
It's over.
>>2972813kek what is going on? I detect modder energy
>>2972813>>2972816nerve gas
>>2972816Yeah I can't stop fucking with skillmaker and blindly did a reqStatusConditionApply(19, false) which turned out to be NPC用睡眠. I don't think it expires. But thankfully I've already figured out how to make a light boon.
>>2972825I admire your autism, have fun anon
i only want more camping kinolet me cook fish for fuck sake
>>2972715>evacuating the general>limited rests until the dlc comes outdamn..........
Things weren't looking great for a minute>>2972813kekshe cute>>2972917I was really surprised you couldn't. When I think being in the wilderness + Japan I think of skewered fish cooking on an open fire.>>2972981Another cute Arisen. left is the large pawn from before, right? Is she a /ddg/ pawn?
>>2972988But we managed to pull through.
>>2972992and a group shot to commemorate defeating my first Drake.I really enjoyed the snippets of dialogue from the fight.
>>2972988>oops all pawnsfrom the left: Meliandra, then Celia and Jill. Dunno if the beastren is from /ddg/ or not. He looked cool!
Please no new thread yet, the last 2 are still up
>>2973043Newfags don't understand bump limits and last time we tried to tell them this they doubled down
>>2972813>tfw no Dragon's Dogma 2 on Vita
>>2973043I am baking the /vg/ thread once the images are used.Steelman argument against moving to /vg/, is that once the 750 posts are used a new thread needs to be baked fast. Much faster than here.And my counter to that is: we'd be reaching image limit here around the same post amount and a new thread would need to be made regardless.
>>2973069The council has discussed and is generally opposed to this action at this time! You can't act unilaterally, this isn't democracy!
>>2972715i agree but i think we should make a thread both here and there, to ease the "transition" (aka, people that only check in every once in a while they'll still know where to find the latest thread)plus unironically a new thread here might last until we have to come back if the bulk of posting moves to the /vg/ thread, and it could still be used just fine for DDO (i still play it)
>>2973093I know we did it when we moved here. But I don't really recommend doing that this time, we'll need as many posters as possible there at the start.Or at least do it with a day or two delay.
Post lewd pawns/arisens
>>2973122Hmmm... Nyo.
What's my gameplan as fighter if the enemy is large and doesn't let me gouge it very often either?Like Minotaurs, do I just use cloudburst > tusk toss 50x in a row until it topples? Shield pummel spam to build up knockdown?
>>2973128grab foot to topple
>>2973130doesn't that only do something when the enemy is off balance? That part is already completely free with Cloudburst.
>>2973128Cloudward does embarrassingly little stagger and damage.Use one the counter moves against minotaurs.
>>2973138is there a doc somewhere that lists the actual values of moves? I'd like to compare moves that have a similar role like Mountain Breaker and Heavenward Sunder
>>2973057vintage reference
>>2973142Probably.There's a sad amount of readily available collected info on this game honestly.
Imagine if they added an EX version of rearmament that allowed you to switch between skill loadouts based on the weapon you have equipped. So you could have 5 skills for warrior, 5 for fighter and so on. Hire me Kinoshita.
>>2973165there's about 8 different mods that do effectively this
>>2973122Hmmm nyo methinks my pawn will be fully robed with 0 skin showing below the necklineIt's going to be cold in norgan
>>2972657You already know it's over.
>>2972715We are moving to /VG/!
This thread is still extremely slow by /vg/ standards, I daresay any bump in activity in November will be temporary.
>>2973091>>2973069I support the /VG/ anon.
Hate slutmagesLove cutemages
Make a thread in vg next week you impatient fuckwads, we barely get 3 posts an hour at this rate the vg thread dies before hitting bumplimit long before dark arisen comes out
>>2972760Times have changed old man. Dark arisen has gotten all the anons hyped. We will survive. We will thrive in our ancestral home.>>2972773We don't belong here. And never have.>>2972781Trust the plan.
>>2973223People have started coming back to play already, and newbies have started their first playthroughs. Post numbers are mooning.If we bake it, they will cum.
>>29732233 post an hour is enough to survive.
>>2973165holy fuck i hate dd2 players you're just never satisfied
>>2973239Larper
>>2973239Agreed but he's a DD1 player just looking for excuses to bitch unfortunately.
>>2973239>>2973245My bad guys, I should have added /s like you do on twitter. Comedy is now illegal.
>>2973253my bad bwo i thought this was the /v/ thread
>>2973253/S
Anyways, I hope Evil Eye isn't locked to the lost rites and is also in Norgan /srs.
>>2973239warfarer was implemented poorly, thems just the factsthe hybrid classes of dd1 were better than this attempt at delivering the same thing in dd2actually, fuck it, I'll just say it, the classes in dd2 fucking suck compared to dd1actually it's just the whole game that's worse
>>2973285Hmm... Nyo...
>>2973285Warrior was good
>>2973285Wrong.
>>2973285All Warfarer needs is seamless automatic weapon swap on skill use so you don't need rearmament if you want a full 6 skills.If it's bigger additions, then more unique cross-interactions like enchanting fighter shields giving you bootleg MK skills is all you need.
>>2973223we would really only need 1 post a hour, maybe 1 post every 2 hours if you want to risk it while surfing on page 11, to survive on /vg/i can agree that i can live without that kind of "pressure" though, also personally i'm gonna bail once the dlc drops anyway cause you guys are surely gonna get to places before i can and i kinda want to see stuff in game myself. Like i'm kinda miffed that i've seen the eldritch horror cyclops, would've been a nice what the fuck moment to discover in game
The only thing I really want if they are also doing improved versions of meister skills (unlikely) is for arc of might to not drain you completely. I'll even take a 3/4 drain, I just don't want to put the restore stamina augment on.
>>2973313>automatic weapon swapI'm not saying it wouldn't be fun, it would, but it would make rearmament pointless and there is value in having to keep the order of the equipped weapons in mind to pull off the right combos at the right time. I don't have enough experience with Devil May Cry 5 but from what I remember, changing weapons with Dante works exactly the same
>>2973291>>2973301can you make a loli in dd2? noI stand by my statement
>>2973328Hmm... Nyo.
>>2973328well kinda
I want to post my pawns here and in the /vg/ threads, but I dont want to get spoiled when da drops, what do?
>>2973338Post your pawn and then leave the thread duh?
>>2973338Copy the link of thread and fed it to gwok and make him regurgitate it without spoilers in your seagull mouth
>>2973328what does making a loli have anything to do with the vocations?
>>2973338Well I've been trying to get people to use spoiler tags, but pretty soon after launch someone is going to post full spoilers accidentally or not. And you can fucking bet /v/ and the youtube algorithm do not care.So, uh. I don't know.
>>2973338>>2973368Easily solved by dropping the anonimity and joining a no spoilers ddg group on Steam but it will never happen. I hope moving to /vg/ works out because I'm definitely disappearing for a few weeks once the expansion is out
>>2973328Well, you can with mods.
Don't see why people fuss about pawn hires so much. Not like you need RC after you hit around 10K, anyway.
I fucking love squirming over le lolis when they always looked like terribly squished adults with chipmunks voices.
>>2973399Hiring pawns costs RC.With RC you can hire awsome /ddg/ pawns.By hiring /ddg/ pawns your pawn gets hired and you get RC.
>>2972715Why the fuck would you want to go that insane asylum? Legitimately, the threads will be infested with jeet shitposters AGP roleplayers erping in the thread once it moves to /vg/
>>2973546Never has, never will be.It's the game not the board. Not every general is /xivg/.
>>2973511Right, it's neat that you can make a loli(baba) but I never quite understood why it was such a big deal for some that you couldn't make one anymore in DD2, honestly the best game for that is probably DDON since you have a lot of option for voices and they fit a younger character better plus there's transmog.That being said, it it's so important for someone to make a loli in DD2 there's the Extended Character Creator mod for that but you will still be fucked with voices as you were in the first game.

YMMV obviously but cachy worked a lot better for me.
>>2975901Its pretty irritating setting up mods on FFXIV again, so I'll probably stick with mint unless it continues to give me issues. CachyOs is probably the one I'll switch to when I'm ready to move on tho.

I have not really been motivated to post in /vg/, just seems way too sudden.
>>2976363It will die before release, likely in a day or two and the OP needs to be institutionalized if he's retarded enough to think it won't, but it's alright to enjoy that which is fleeting. You can post there anon, do not be afraid.
