Well I mean, that's not terrible. The hydra invasion goes down in like ten seconds with a Lv. 50+ character. The worst part would be slogging through the canyon again.

That canyon is the worst bit of the game easily. I really hope I can max out sorcerer tonight. I'm getting really bored of it and running Fighter/Mage/Sorcerer/Sorcerer isn't much fun either.

So it seems you can have one person kidnapped by the dragon, yet the final ending cutscene can have someone entirely different than that person in it. I don't think the Duchess appreciates Caxton trying to move in on her territory...

How do you re edit your character and pawn? I remember reading about it earlier in the thread. Also, anyone care to post your "and then Dragon's Dogma really clicked with me moment"?

Buy the art of metamorphosis (or, if you're post game, the power of metamorphosis) from the rift crystal dealer, then save and return to main menu to enter the character editor from there. If you just want to change hairstyle, colors, face paint, etc, you can do that at the barber shop in gran Soren.

Kilometers Davis posted:How do you re edit your character and pawn? I remember reading about it earlier in the thread. 1. Using Arc of Might on a griffin. Arc of Might is a skill where charge up by holding a two handed weapon like a baseball bat before lifting over your head when it's fully charged. I never used it before on a live target. So the griffin is on fire in front of me as I delivered the hit on its head. Time slows down when you get a hit with Arc of Might, the griffin lost two entire bars of health, the impact shoots a jet of dirt up in the air about twenty feet, its head hits the ground and has a look of, "What the Hell just hit me?", and its head is wobbling about as it's scrambling to get up. 2. Making it up the Blue Moon Tower. Evening leaving the main city in the morning, it'll probably night time as you arrive to the tower. Then after you make it up to the top, it's most likely day time and the sun is rising up above the horizon. They had to have timed that on purpose. 3. And again in the Blue Moon Tower. My third time there, on my previous visits I've only found maybe like three chests the entire time and two of them were at the top. So this time I decided to have real good look about. I found twelve additional chests hidden across gaps, places where you have fall down to platforms below, and hidden on top of rafters.

I gotta say, this is the most SaGa-ish game in terms of story telling in a while; no wonder Patrick Kepleck from Giant Bomb said nothing happens in the story; it is so sporadically told that makes Romancing SaGa look like a Final Fantasy game. I'm finding the Warrior not as usefull as a Fighter, since Fighter gets aggro management.

I feel like dinging this game on story is kind of silly, though. Everything about playing this game takes me right back to my days as a teenager playing AD&D. All of the "stories" we came up with for our campaigns were awful and sophomoric - it didn't matter, though, because the real fun was "exploring" caves, dungeons, and a world full of monsters ready to eat our faces. Which we summarily murdered and plundered for their treasures.

Early on it was seeing my pawn scale up a cyclops and trick him into ripping his helm off, I shot an arrow at the exposed eye which made him enraged. The cyclops then spun around in anger and promptly fell off a cliff, while my pawn jumped to safety. That was the first time I felt like pawns were pretty awesome and actually pulling their weight. Though sometimes I see him jumping around like an idiot and wonder if hes learning bad habits from me. My favorite moment was when I was roaming around as an assassin and saw a drake flying about. I took a careful sniper shot to knock him to the ground & expose the weak point in one blow. I then ran up and gouged his heart out, killing him in under 10 seconds. The only thing he managed to say before dying was "WHO ARE YOU?". Its really quite a change going from getting my rear end beat by bandits to being such a badass. Having my pawn go "What a waste of time" after wrecking the Ur Dragon was kind of funny too.

Wait, is it impossible to re-fight the evil eye? I killed it earlier but I wanted to show it off to a buddy. I swear it was on the very next floor after the one you get the wakestone quest on, but now when I land there I get anxiety instead of confusion. What gives?

For me, I've been loving this game for a while, but I finally had to shout it out loud when I got to the Blue Moon Tower and realized the game wanted me to climb around the outsides of the broken walls. An action RPG that wants me to platform and lets me do it well! I mean in Dark Souls leaping a gap or walking a precipice is a harrowing experience, but here it's great fun!

The first fight in the Post-Game Dungeon is always the Evil Eye. After that it depends on which chamber you go in. There is another chamber with an Evil Eye...I want to say Chamber of Sorrow, let me look it up. Yeah Chamber of Sorrow, containing Grimgoblins, adorable Vile Eyes, and the Evil Eye itself.

First time I tried, I pecked at it with my bow until it crushed me in two hits. The second time I went "gently caress it", crawled up to its head, and stabbed it in the eye until it died. Then I found a little feathered cap to put on my head so now I look like Robin Hood.

I think it really clicked with me when I found out that, no matter what your level/weapons/etc, if you aren't paying attention you can still get killed by practically everything. Not too many games are like that, these days(Outside of Demons/Dark Souls)

Having my lantern go out while in a cave fighting lizardmen due to crossing a stream of water that was falling from the ceiling. Since none of my pawns had lanterns the entire cave suddenly went pitch black, lighted only by the fireballs that my mage pawn would cast every few seconds. The fight ended with the fighter in the party grappling the last lizardman from behind shouting "Now, finish it!" as I made a madcap sprint with nearly no health in complete darkness towards the health bar of that pawn.

Honest Thief posted:aww gently caress, I just discovered the Black Cat store, right before giving the grimoire to some dude, this is going to bite me in the rear end Do you mean you forged the grimoire, since you said you found the Black Cat before you handed it in? If so, don't worry about it  If you didn't forge it and give him a fake then don't worry about it either - you're not missing out on anything by giving the grimoire away, it sucks as a usable item.

My *holy poo poo* moment came against a cyclops too (cyclopes, plural, in fact). I'd somehow gotten lost and wandered into an area with two fully armoured cyclopes west of the bandit castle near Witchwood. These were fully-armoured fuckers too, and had a bunch of goblin companions. I was getting the ever-living poo poo kicked out of me when a fighter pawn I'd recently hired decided to run like hell. Great, I thought, even my goddamn pawns are pissing their pants. Anyway, I'm busy bitch-slapping some uppity goblin after my last greenwarish when, out of nowhere, an enormous bolt of fire smacks one of the cyclopes in the eye. I look up to the source about one hundred metres away, and the new pawn I'd assumed was running for her life was in fact running towards a handily placed bolter machine I'd failed to notice, and it just so happens she's a hell of a marksman. The tide of the battle changed quite quickly, the cyclopes were busy being eye-hosed by flaming arcs of sweet justice whilst I took renewed relish in fist-loving some goblin eye sockets dagger first. That's when this game officially became GOTY material.

At the beginning of the game, when I refused to pick up a weapon and kept trying to leave the room while it kept telling me to 'take up arms arisen', before the game finally threw it's own arms up in the air, gave in and just let me leave allowing me to run around and punch things without a weapon. Also just plain letting me punch things whenever I feel like it.

I bought a new xbox a few months before buying DD, and I didn't set any parental controls, but I think I'm still getting the "safe" names for the pawns I hire. Is there an option I need to toggle or something? Having a great time roaming around as a Ranger with my Fighter pawn, DragonBjorn.

How much trouble am I going to get in for turning in a forgery of the Wyrmking's Ring? The bonus was way too good to pass up. Honor and Treachery spoilers: My god Aldous is so full of poo poo. "How tragic that I sent you away right before the cockatrice attacked + I got knocked out before the fight + the bird didn't attack the castle. By the way you have an important mission far, FAR away!" I am half expecting him NOT to be a villain just because that would be more surprising.

You miss out on a single piece of (rather plain looking and middling stat-wise) equipment. Specifically the paladin's mantle. Although I've heard people say you can just go back to the chest its in later on with the ring in hand and open it yourself, so if that's true you miss out on nothing. What I'm saying is keep it instead of kicking yourself for not keeping it, like I did.

I'm having a blast with this game, but I hate that I don't know what's going to cause me to fail a quest. I'm trying to get platinum, and there's an achievement (the hero) which requires me to complete all non notice board quests. Do I need to do them all in one playthrough? Or can I do some quests here, then a few in NG+? Also, where can I fight more Drakes pre-dragon fight?

You can do all the quests across multiple playthroughs to get the achievement, and there was a guide posted on the last 5 or so pages if you want to follow one for your second or third game. More drakes can be found in the same spot as the first drake, 3-4 days later

Kilometers Davis posted:How do you re edit your character and pawn? I remember reading about it earlier in the thread. It definitely has to be when I noticed my pawn 'bunnyhopping' away from large enemies (chimera, cyclops, etc.) when they would make a lunge attack. The only reason I ever did that was because I didn't have the dodge roll yet. This game has some of the best 'learning' AI that I've ever seen. Bad habits and all.

Sankis posted:Man, reading this thread makes me feel like I'm missing a lot. NPCs opening or closing shop based on quests? Love interests? Man. I kinda wish quests were easier to find. A lot of people miss Cassardis in my experience, which leads to a couple of missed chains like the Quina chain, and I suspect anything that may do with Madeline. The game really expected people to return to Cassardis after the encampment, rather than blazing a trail to the capital I guess. Also the job boards are the other place people get thrown for a loop. The job board quests for a lot of the escorts actually come/go. They never really expired for me. They would sometimes drop for the board temporarily but then reappear later on. I've gotten some very low reward escort quests when I was already way into the game. [e]They actually do a pretty good job of stratifying the quests too. Basically anytime you have an event with the Duke, make the rounds. Don't do any of the main quests until you've done everyone's side quests pretty much. More specifically, don't hand in any of the main quests until you're ready. Rascyc fucked around with this message at 16:20 on May 31, 2012 |
