Not sure about viable, but it's a ring that "boosts the wearer's power when fighting barehanded." I'm thinking when I head back to the mainland I'll see how much of the game I can tackle with just my fists.

One of the Secret Augments makes you pick up items faster. I can hoover things up so fast I can run over and grab from a pile that a pawn has already started sifting through and get the item. It looks like sometimes they even make a little fist shaking gesture when they come up from the pile of trash/seam of ore they were digging in and I already took all the useful poo poo. Sorry little guy, get better augments. Secret Augments are The Best, is what I'm saying.

Well let's hope that there will be a monk class or something that uses fist weapons in the sequel, so we can uppercut goblins into the stratosphere.

epitasis posted:Do you have to get to Gran Soren the first time to hire your friends' pawns? I restarted and the "friends" option is greyed out, as is the special pawns one. There's no limit like that on friends' pawns. Have you set connectivity to Online in the options? It's Offline by default because Capcom is dumb. The handful of magic stat points your pawn would lose doing that won't make any real difference.

Does NG+ make bitterblack island insanely difficult or something? Everything is kicking the poo poo out of me and it's just not fun.

Glad I got this game at last. Lots of fun. I found a pawn named Hodor. For some reason there is this one pawn that doesn't stand with everybody else and is level 68 and free. (The ones I've seen so far are my own level and free too though)

Whoa, I just found a huge version of one of the Evil Eyes, not too far down in Bitterblack. I couldn't do near enough damage to take it, though, and I had to run.

Here's a HOT TIP for defeating the Big Eye. If you can't hurt it at range (I killed him as a Warrior), jump below and fight tentacles. Eventually he'll start summoning big ones (you'll see an orange glow) and you just gotta maneuver enough to make him punch himself in the face. Then his eye drops and you can bonk him to death. Watch out for his poison though, he likes to cover the entire bottom floor.

For those of you who want some extremely cheap health potions, you can go to the Northwest of the bridge north of Gran Soren and find a healing spring. Buy a whole ton of empty bottles and bottle it. It heals your entire party for 330 hp(slightly less than Potent Greenwarish). You can even give it to your pawns and they will use it when you or one of your pawns is extremely low on health. The only downside is that it's about twice as heavy as normal Greenwarish, and that you have to manually bottle it(giving some empty bottles to your pawns can help).

Another protip: if you're hoarding skulls for the notice board quest, don't let your pawns share the load. They seem to think it's hilarious to huck them at enemies, which as far as I'm aware, does precisely dick.

Am I the only one who finds the English a bit.. off? Some of the stuff that they say seems to be trying to sound like "ye olde English" but it just sounds odd mostly and what is up with everybody calling me cousin? Is the village in the beginning one giant incest village or what? Fergus Mac Roich posted:That's probably a pawn belonging to one of your PSN/XBL friends. Ah. Makes sense. Also how do I change my vocation? Maybe I'm still too early in the game but I thought you could change that whenever you wanted? Boar It fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Apr 27, 2013 |

Once you get to Gran Soren you can change. There's also apparently a person on the new island who can change your class, but there are people saying you can only change between the base classes. And yeah, the fake old english is pretty bad, but it's also pretty funny so I think it evens out.

It's a general tearm of endearment like calling someone unrelated to you "brother". I assume Capcom chose it because it's more gender neutral and they didn't have to record two separate lines for each random villager.

And I like how there are random pawns walking around in the game too. I just ran into one called Slutface.

The woman on the island will change your vocation to anything you want but you have to be level 10 before you can select anything other than the starter vocations. Same as if you manage to reach Gran Soren before you hit level 10.

About halfway through you start meeting the minotaurs(?) and the grey ogres and I'm having to pop open the menu for healing after every hit. I feel like maybe the area was balanced for the strider-type classes because honestly going melee is pretty punishing. There's lot of situations, from Death to the 360 arcs on a few bosses and monsters and the like where you need to just not be nearby.

I wonder whether the discrepancies(read: humongous chasm) between the game's language and real middle/early modern english are intentional. I mean you'd even sound like a crazy person at a Ren Faire talking like that.

So what determines when loot respawns now? Saving and loading doesn't do the trick, and the parts of bitterblack Isle I can actually go into without dying immediately are basically empty now. I hope you don't have to complete the dungeon entirely before more loot spawns.

I mean you'd even sound like a crazy person at a Ren Faire talking like that. Cheap/unlimited ferrystones and way more fort crystals sure changes the game...not in a totally good way. The escort quests especially have become meaningless (given that I know the few places everyone wants to go beforehand), just ferrystone there and ferrystone back, takes thirty seconds.

It comes off as a better change if you don't know all the escort locations. I couldn't remember the map at all from the original game and did maybe 1 escort quest ever so I can't do that trick. It just means I get around way faster in the normal course of play.

It's a Japanese company intentionally aping Game of Thrones. I'm serious; before the game came out they specifically called out GRRM's books as their inspiration for the language. The Song of Ice and Fire series, as I understand, is well liked in Japan and they released the books in multiple parts like a series of light novels. They also have really bitching cover art.

The Japanese version is nowhere near as colorful, it's just straight Tokyo Japanese with a few old flourishes on occasion. edit: It has a ridiculous number of unusual Chinese compounds though. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Apr 27, 2013 |

I'm pretty sure they just looked at how popular the HBO production was and said, "Why don't we imitate that?" when they were working on the English dub. I haven't watched much of the show, though I have read the books, and it seems much more exaggerated in DD than GoT. Except for the weird way they use certain words or phrases all the loving time. Pawns say "aught" like GRRM uses the phrases "much and more" and "little and less." (Okay, I haven't actually combed through the books and counted the incidences but they come up enough to be obnoxious).

Goddamn going through the final area before the last boss is a real slog the second time. All these high level and annoying enemies everywhere with Death floating overhead waiting to engage and gently caress your poo poo up. edit: Final area of bitterblack isle.

Those escorts are the single most unfun thing to do in the entire game. They're a good laugh the first time but never again! Well maybe if they disabled the NPCs kicking you in the face while you carry them around..

Let's just say that escort quests in DD are some of the weirdest and most memorable things in the game, and they force you to think more carefully about the environment and where enemies could be lurking than I think I ever have in an RPG, Dark Souls included.

At the learning chair, they will randomly ask you "I try to talk or be quiet as the situation dictates...." and if you say "no" their speech rate goes down. Don't try to actually make sense of what they are saying and connect it to a yes/no response, you'll just confuse yourself. Just select "no". Ah,thanks. I'm still in the tutorial/intro, I guess I'll just tough it out a bit longer.

I hated the escort quests but they sorta grew on me when I got a quest as soon as I got into Gran Soren that wanted me to go to the Greatwall Camp, which required a lot of sneaking around and thinking of how I'm going to get through this really high level area, and then I got there and the greatwall merchant was selling late game equipment  If someone just tries to fight literally everything between them and the destination though it would be a pretty maddening brick wall to slam your head into.
