So uh I guess I beat the game? I am the Seneschal now and I can go creep around Cassardis and Gran Soren while invisible. Doesn't seem to be much else I can do though? I'm assuming other people have reached this point, so what am I supposed to do?

Which chamber in the Everfall does everyone like to farm chests in? I see pawns outfitted in really awesome looking armor that I know for a fact comes from the Everfall. My luck just has it that I only get goddamn Wakestone shards because I really need those despite the fact that I have over 200 of them in my bank. I got some really awesome arm armor things called the Twilight Manicae that are Assassin/Ranger only and the more assassin gear I find the better. Edit: Flame112 posted:So uh I guess I beat the game?

But that would still be weird since I did the one with a cockatrice twice and it was no different the second time. Some, not all, chambers have two different encounters in them. Fate is one of them.

So I decided to try out the Assassin class after leveling mostly as a Strider with a few levels of Fighter thrown into the mix. I'm still trying to get used to the loss of the ensnare ability that the Strider had but I'm also having great fun with some of the sword skills that the Assassin gets. Are there any "must have" skills from the Dagger and Sword trees for the Assassin, in order to make leveling this vocation a bit faster?

This game looks amazing but I've had it since Monday and restarted like six times because the face will look fine in the character creation screen but in game it will look terrible.  But I got that tutorial chimera loving down.

But yeah, if you beat a monster/s in any area with two different spawns, save after killing them and load, the other encounter will spawn. Mystic Knight question: I've spent most of my levels as a sorcerer and mage, so my magic is my highest stat by far and an enchanted weapon complements that. But I remember reading here that using an enchantment spell overrides whatever is on your weapon and (correct me if I'm wrong), enchantments come from your shield on a MK, which has 1000+ magic on mine. Does that mean I'm ultimately better using a very strong physical mace and enchanting it? Any ideas how this changes damage with the magic cannon? I wish there was more transparency with these stats, it can be confusing.

Powder Charge / Powder Blast does a huge amount of AoE damage to anything it hits, and is good against any non-flying enemy, and great against large size enemies. Gouge / Dire Gouge do huge damage to enemies you can cling to. Both are must-have abilities. Clarity is also a pretty useful abilities against bandits and goblins, since it has a pretty huge window to counter their attack and does damage to basically any enemy near you. Daggers give you double jump and Easy Kill, which is the dagger version of Clarity but more damaging. Other than that, dagger skills on assassin don't seem as good as what you get from swords.

This always happens to me. Somehow it just comes out of the editor looking way different than it did five minutes ago. I'm a solid 3 hours into my second playthrough and still considering restarting just to go back to my first face, and to change Old Snake back to Freighter S. When I finished the first time it felt so awesome that I didn't want to do anything different than my first run, and sure enough the two or so things I did end up changing have been worse--I don't like being a Mage as much as Strider, and Old Snake just doesn't feel the same as Freighter S. He also looks a bit like Albert Einstein from certain angles which is absolutely not what I wanted.

I suppose if you look at the literal effects of what you're doing, then yes, you are stabbing yourself in the chest in front of the loyal companion who has been with you the whole time, but in actuality you're giving him your identity/soul and ending the pointless cycle of chaos that has forced the world to be endlessly destroyed and futilely rebuilt since time began, or didn't, as the case may be. The text at the end is particularly encouraging, if anyone missed it: "You feel an odd pride as you plunge the Godsbane into your chest, as if claiming a great victory. Finally, there is an end for your tale -- one penned by your own hand, no less. As your consciousness fades into the black, you feel a peculiar sensation on your lips: You are smiling. Cleansed by the surf, a body washes ashore on a deserted beach. Nameless, this soul awakens, eyes gleaming with the will to live, and for all things worth living for." Beyond that, I do find the whole Godsbane animation pretty hilarious, particularly after I had used it several times before to try to get better things out of chests. Wakestone shard? Major depressive episode time *stab*

Lenaway posted:Whole party including the Arisen is female. Must've attacked them the first time I passed through or something. They don't aggro until I walk up to Ophis. I actually killed a bunch of them my first time through out of self-defense, so that can't be it. So the quest is in two tiers, right? You talk to Ophis, she says kills dudes. Then You talk to the other bandit, and she says, feed Cyclops. So you turn the cyclops feeding into other bandit--then turn the whole quest in to Ophis. So did you do the whole other-bandit turn-in first? If it's still glitchy, maybe buy that character reconfigure item from the Encampment for 5k rift crystals? Use it to "reset" your character as a female? Arc Impulse posted:Hahaha, no worries, anything goes to get through that area without starting a bloodbath after all.

He's my go-to whenever I need a Ranger. My only complaint is that he totally steals my kills when I'm tanking.

I guess my game overheard me say it was getting too easy, because it threw a cockatrice at me. Nothing quite as terrifying as losing all of your pawns slowly, with all of them crying out in horror at being petrified, having none of the appropriate curatives to save them or yourself if you mess up, and then the sun goes down... I'm sorry, Dragon's Dogma. I didn't mean it.

Dude, the same thing happened to me very late into the game while fighting a Archhydra. It proceeded to eat my warrior and mage, and I couldn't get to the necks fast enough to remove them and save their lives. Left me and my main pawn to contend with it alone, probably one of the most exciting battles I've had.

I leave for a week for work, come home, turn on my Xbox, and my pawn has gained me 2.8 million rift crystals, but dropped from rank 53 in the world to rank 103. Since I have no use for rift crystals, I'm going to wipe my thrice-completed game save and start over!

That fanfare you get when you kill a big enemy is hilarious if you fight a whole bunch of them in quick succession. It just keeps getting more funny. I got it about three times in ten minutes once. I killed some big thing, then a Cyclops halfway up a mountain, then one of the pawns fell off so I had to jump down to revive them, where I was set upon by a Chimera. I just like the idea of a big orchestra following the Arisen around. Oh, and the thing that happens when you fall a long enough way is always funny to me. Especially when you have enough health to survive it most of the time. Plus you get blood all over the place. Reminds me of Saint's Row 3 actually, in terms of jumping off for a shortcut. Pity there's no augment to get rid of falling damage, or at least not one I've found. I think fighting the dragon sorts of enemies is probably the best, in terms of the big ones. I just really like that you can get right up in its grille and stab it about, while the pawns continue to warn you about goblins, and die when they get shouted at by the dragon. I always think a bit of Skyrim when that happens.

What level and class is your pawn? Mines around 60 and still nets gently caress all in terms of rift crystals, like 300 when returning from another player. Similarly, if a pawn returns with crystals/presents but no rating does it mean it died or something? I've only gotten one rating so far

You're getting pity fake rentals  You always get a rating when someone rents your pawn, it will just be all threes with no comment if they die. Also why your rift crystals are so low, since a real person having your pawn for like 2 minutes before sending them back will be 300+ RC.

The funniest thing happened to me with a pawn smashing things. I was standing on a box, and used a Ferrystone. Arisen throws it in the air, and the pawn smashes the box right out from underneath me. It cancelled using the drat thing and I had to select it again. Made sure I was on solid ground first though. Plus the camera decide to focus on the pawn that did it for a while. Pawns do some silly things. Oh, and every time I visit the Witch's hut, they all start running around smashing the place up and stealing everything.

I just got this game today and I've already played a few hours of it. It's pretty drat confusing at first but it's also awesome. I like how most fights with big monsters start off with you scared shitless of them, then eventually end in you feeling like a huge bastard as you ram your flaming greatsword into a blinded cyclops's gooch. Or when one of your pawns is holding up a squirming goblin and you run him through. Most people's pawns do seem like creepy pedo-bait. My pawn is an old, tiny mage called Morlon who follows my giant conan style warrior dude around casting spells (generally the wrong ones) and getting batted off ramparts by charging cyclopses. I wish the screenshot facility let you take higher res shots, mine looked great on the PS3 but when I copied them over to my memory stick they look muddy and hideous on the PC.  Here's my dude and Morlon in the background, and that's the picture after I did some work on it in GIMP to make them at all visible. It was a daylight shot too.
