Despite my efforts, Selene insists on moving in with me. I guess polygamy's kosher in the world of Dragon's Dogma.

She always moves in with you if you finish her questline, since you know, you destroyed her guardian golem and she can't really stay in Witchwood in case the angry witch burning mob comes back. It's a completely separate quest check from the "who is your beloved" one.

Haha, it's funny facing Golems when you're a Sorcerer. The first one is just a pain as your pawns slowly whittle down its HP. Then the second one is over immediately as all your pawns start climbing and hacking at its weak spots. I do love the AI at times.

WeaponBoy posted:I think you can do Deny Salvation safely, but afterwards DO NOT do the following: talk to the Dragonforged, go through the Door at the bottom of the Deny Salvation castle. This worked. Bad Business did remain available after I accepted Deny Salvation. Also, been trying Magic Archer, and now that I've got it max ranked (and got a good magick bow from beating Grigori) I can see why people like it so much. Just a shame you can't level up as it much if you want to deal good damage. e: haha Explosive Rivet is amazing.

Just did that and killed a harpy, almost killed an ogre, then finished the ogre off by firing an explosive rivet into its chest, running up and slashing it. MA may been poo poo early on, but now it's awesome.

I unleashed the Ricochet Hunters. My friend who was watching said that he thought he just witnessed a hate crime.

Yeah, the dragonpope there is the most reliable way to dragonforge, aside from ol' Grigori. Later on you'll be able to fight him all you like. He's the method most people use to dragonforge gear on-demand. (The spoiler is maybe an incredibly minor plot spoiler, as it's mostly about game mechanics, but I wanted to be safe.)

They really should have put a radial equipment menu on one of the d-pad buttons instead of duplicating the help pawn command. It would be so nice to be able to chug curatives and switch between different weapons, arrows and throwables on the fly without having to go into the menu. As it is I've never tried any of the thrown gear since it's such a pain to equip and being able to switch weapons on the fly would make using the debilitating weapons and the hybrid classes much more fun. Not that I still don't run around with upgraded rusted weapons since at will torpor is so nice.

So I think I hosed up. At the bottom of Everfall I get a story event about a big tentacle monster who proceeds to gently caress up my pawns. I run outside and it autosaves that checkpoint. Doing some reading on the wiki about portcrystals it says in DA there is a portcrystal right there that I missed. Was I able to grab that? The save system in this game is a bit infuriating at times.

Picking this up on PSPlus today, it's been over a year since I played this. I wanted to try out the bow classes this time, but wasn't sure if assassin had that many bow skills? Or should I stick with magic archer/ranger area?

Assassin is one of my favorite vocations, and yeah, it's pretty good with a bow. It doesn't get a huge variety of skills, but it gets most of the important ones (Fivefold Flurry, Mighty Bend, and Pentad Shot, especially). Pick up some Blast Arrows and have a grand old time. Plus, the Assassin's dagger and sword skills are things of beauty. Magick Archer is a very different beast. They don't use the same kinds of bows, or bow skills, as other "rogue" vocations. They use "magick bows" that fire homing bolts and their bow skills are more like spells. They're a whole hell of a lot of fun, though. They can also use their daggers to light themselves on fire, cling to enemies, and burn-stab them to death.

People never mention the incredible holy BFG shot that magick archers get as a dagger skill. The first time I tried that it picked up a group of white saurians, carried them into a wall and ground them into paste.

BlueDestiny posted:People never mention the incredible holy BFG shot that magick archers get as a dagger skill. The first time I tried that it picked up a group of white saurians, carried them into a wall and ground them into paste. I always had a tough time aiming Grand Scension, but that's probably more my fault than the skill's. Magick Archers have such a wealth of amazing dagger skills that it's hard to know which ones to squeeze into your measly three slots. I usually can't justify dropping Hundred Kisses in case I need to climb something, and Magick Rebalancer is such a great buff that it pretty much has to stick around. That leaves one slot that I generally rotate between Immolation, Shadowshackle, and Grand Scension. I guess I could drop Hundred Kisses and stick to shooting large enemies from afar, but then I wouldn't get to light myself on fire very often.

Or should I stick with magic archer/ranger area? I'd say go either Assassin or MA. They both get really good skills and are arguably the two best classes in the game. Assassin is nice in terms of stat growth since they have really good ones, meaning you can start as Warrior, switch to Assassin at lv10, and not have to worry one bit about having a poor stat spread. MA, on the other hand, is best if you level for a while as Sorcerer, and have the magic boosting augment the Sorcerer gives you.. They both have access to daggers and (a type of) bow, so which you'd prefer would depend on the abilities of each class, unless you'd like having access to a sword and shield as well, then you'd want assassin. Here's a video showing all of MA's abilities, and here's one for Assassin. If you don't want to check them out (they spoil the post-game, if you haven't done it), my favorite abilities for each class are Assassin
Magic Archer
If you want my opinion, go Magic Archer. They take considerably longer to get good (though they're by no means awful early on), but once you have a good base magic attack, and a good bow (like the on you can get from killing Grigori), they are loving insane, especially on Bitterblack Isle, the new content included in Dark Arisen.

I did the same thing and it turns out you can go back inside and grab it later. I went back in after a few sidequests and the tentacle monster wasn't in there, so it wasn't difficult.

Those of you playing for the first time, take note that with the expansion you really have two very distinct games. The main portion of the game is an open world where you can go pretty much wherever you like (which means you will run into high level enemies, save often). The expansion content however is a dungeon crawler that doesn't pull any punches. They're two very different experiences, in my opinion BBI (expansion content) is the better part. The irc.synirc.net channel #dogmagoons usually has some veterans hanging around if you need some advice and the spreadsheet in the first post contains goon pawns that can help you out. e: obligatory dangan, never forget mirarant fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Nov 6, 2013 |

mirarant posted:Those of you playing for the first time, take note that with the expansion you really have two very distinct games. Agreed completely. I enjoyed the Gransys portion of the game quite a bit, but Bitterblack Isle is just fantastic on every level. I do wish room layouts didn't repeat so often, but aside from that, I love pretty much everything Bitterblack stands for. That's weird, too, because the RNG mechanics of Everfall chests bothered the hell out of me, but somehow purifying Bitterblack items is less frustrating. Edit: Also, I forgot to mention that the story elements in Bitterblack Isle are, I think, meaningfully better than the vast majority of the main game. It does what an expansion should, I think: takes a narrower scope (and in this case a more personal one) but expands on the world's lore in some unexpected directions. I have no idea. The point is Bitterblack is awesome. It might bode well for Deep Down, actually, which seems to have a similar "lost in a dark, sinister labyrinth that is constantly trying to kill you in creative ways" vibe. mirarant posted:e: obligatory dangan, never forget  That song seemed so out of place the first time played the vanilla version, and now I miss it so much.

Just picked up this game on PS+, do I need to worry about messing up my stats if I level the wrong class early on? I know ultimately I want to go with either the Fighter/Mage or Strider/Mage hybrid but I'm not sure which yet, so I just picked a Strider to start.
