The Godsbane is the perfect metaphor for the item-farming method it's most valuable bing used in: standig infront of chests with a save and committing seppuku until wakestones stop popping out.

Rascyc posted:Not me cause it's just a waste of time. I think I did the rabbit one before I realized board quests are pretty much meaningless aside from the gold rewards. Since sub 100xp enemies are prone to give an higher DCP versus XP ratio, I think wildlife will be soon included in "class runs"

I'm pretty early in the game, but are elemental weaknesses that much more effective for the rest of the game? I.E. fire against undead? I changed up my merc pawns to be fire casters for the catacombs and they just killed everything for me while I just blinded the mobs.

Generally, yes, having the right elemental advantage will do you well. If you don't have the matchup, you can still grind it out and plink a monster to death, though. It's just helpful to have the right setup, but it's not necessary.

I don't get the fuss over Dragonroar. It looks pretty... well, derpy. Actually, it reminds me of Bowser Jr.'s mask from Super Mario Sunshine. I might wear it if my two Twilight Masks look that bad, but I haven't made the leap to Assasin yet. Oh, I killed a Wyvern, and the shield I got for killing the dragon is Dragonforged to match my Dragon's Dogma.

While this game is kinda super fun, it seems kinda empty and small game world wise.

spacejew posted:While this game is kinda super fun, it seems kinda empty and small game world wise. This is true. It's like someone told Capcom about open world games and they only got half of the idea and made an open game world but didn't bother populating it with all the stuff that makes exploring them fun.

I'm super stoked though, because this game is retardedly fun to play, and if it sells well hopefully we can get an even more insane sequel.(I know thats thinking super far ahead but I like to pretend!)

Instead of a sequel they should just push out some proper DLC, they can flesh out the blank areas on the map or maybe even just add a dinky little cave entrance to the world that leads to an underground city/dungeon.

If anyone feels like cheating and getting endgame weapons on a low level character, friend me with what you want and ill try to get it. I think I have 9 Heavens Keys and a couple of Ascalons. Lot of staffs and shields. PSN sisyphean0 I think my pawns 132 also if you like warriors

The combat is the only really fun thing in this game, I strongly recommend you don't trivialize it on your first run through with a gifted superweapon.

This reminds me, does someone want to tell me if my damage per attack somehow went down when I changed from a high-vocation-level fighter to a Mystic Knight. I was oneshotting Goblins with Blind Thrust and Tusk/Antler slash before, now everything has to be set on fire for that to even come close to working. I've also found my favorite weapon in the game so far in the Quarry. It's no more than a wooden bat with nails driven through it, but it does better damage than my level 2 broadsword and looks metal as gently caress.

I just fought the Metal Golem in the Everfall with the bullshit sky crystal...as a Warrior. At first I despaired, but then I discovered the natural solution: climbing up the bastard and leaping to strike the crystal. It took a dozen strikes and twice as many rock climbing runs, but it finally shattered, and so did the Golem. Depending on your point of view, this process is either incredibly stupid or incredibly awesome. For me, the latter.

Wow, I hadn't yet really seen any pawns dressed up all skimpy up until now, but I just got the unlocks for giving Madeline the gold idol and just. Wow. I'm sure a ton of people dress their pawns up in this stuff for the whole "lol less clothing!!" thing, but the scary thing is the skimpy armor and clothing is just really good stat wise for where I am in the game. Way better than anything else my pawn had on.  Now I'm just like  whenever I look at her, since I know it's keeping her alive better, but at the same time auuuugh. I wanted to keep her looking classy and cool the whole game. Maybe I can give her a better top armor to wear later so she'll keep at least a bit of her dignity.

I don't think your actual stats change if you change vocation. But if you were a high vocation rank you were probably using high end skills. Going back to the beginner skills with a new class would lower your damage.

The stamina required to use those weapons are significantly higher. Even running with the character tires out more quickly. Don't have any solid numbers but it seems to cut the runnning distance by halve. Rather good safeguard actually.

Last night I was fighting a Gorechimera and having a hell of a time getting to the snake. Then my enormous sorcerer pawn leaps down from somewhere and grabs the snake tail, starts hacking away with his staff, and shouts, "Master, I'll hold it while you strike!" This game sometimes.

I just got this game and I'm pretty excited about it after leafing through this thread. Any advice for a new starter apart from the basic stuff in the original post? I'm planning to begin as a strider then likely try mage, sorcerer and magic archer later on.

I ended up losing a pawn in the Everfall and just grabbed a random sorceror named Gene (who is so bishie I thought he was a woman) and he's been a remarkable find. Around the time that I start to think that a fight is getting a little too crazy or taking a little too long, that's when the meteors start mopping every thing up. He saves them for just the right time, every time. It's uncanny.

I did the same, but nothing reverted. You may have hit a bug or something. quote:This game sometimes. I fought the Hydra with a mage, two warriors, and myself, an assassin. I stood back to get some stamina back and heard one shout to hack off the heads, and started rushing towards...the other warrior? That guy bent over, then loving catapaulted the other dude onto one of the necks with his sword and started going to town. I double jumped up to join him. He catapaulted me once too but I missed (the collision detection is kind of spotty on hydras). Another time I heard one of my mage pawns say to keep the griffin down and out of the air. She decided to do this by grabbing onto a leg to keep the griffin from flying away until I could burn them with my fire arrows. Good job, pawn.

A friend of mine bought this, which surprised me because she is an oblivion/skyrim gal through and through. Turns out she fuckin' loves it and despite her save going corrupt after 30+ hours, is just gonna get back on that horse and restart. She tried going back to Skyrim after the save poo poo the bed and admitted that it now bores her. Now I just have to convince her that Dark Souls is the next step in action rpg gloryyyy. I had her pawn blink strike his goddamn self off a cliff trying to kill a rabbit once. Game owns. What happens if I gift the godsbane? Does it break the game?

Somtimes I see my pawn loot an item called "Rift ____", I think it might be rift crystal? Is that how it works? I'm positive I saw the word 'rift' at the very least flash on the screen.

You get the godsbane back after you kill the seneschal regardless of what you do with it in the post game, and I don't think you can interact with anyone to give presents at that point. I do like Skyrim, but yeah, I can only imagine how boring the spells and combat will seem when I try to go back to that.

So I just beat up Gen 36 Ur-Dragon and got some fun drops. The fight itself is kinda hectic and intense, but pointedly Not Fun after the third or fourth consecutive time into the chamber. The fight pretty much becomes: a.) put up with wind bullshit, b.) avoid all blue fire, c.) revive all your pawns, d.) do no damage. Dire gouging a weakspot for 1-2 minutes after failing to climb to it for 2 minutes while fighting the terrible camera I soon lose all control of, only to have the dragon peace out shortly after?
