Zore posted:I think the only real problem I'm having is that none of my spells, even charged fully, seem to break the minimum damage threshold on the bosses while they do on the regular enemies. Which only happened one time for me in the regular game when I spent nearly an hour running around the coastal bandit fort at level 11 doing almost no damage and just whittling down bandits who were way too difficult. Honestly, just explore it. There are so many boss monsters down there that you'll get buff in no time at all. Krinkle posted:Do all griffins retreat to the bluemoon tower? Or did he just fly away and despawn? I did nothing but shoot his wings, or use the magic thing that lets me shoot everything (so I know I'm shooting his wings) and he just got bored and left. I killed more buffalo but he wasn't having any of it. Just that quest specific one. Griffins are jerks.

I'm curious, what's your magic attack stat? Cause leveling up primarily as a sorcerer, and if you have a good magick bow (either Grigori one or the one from the Everfall merchant) you should be doing enough damage to break the threshold. Also I just found a cape that is literally a set of pauldrons.

I think Immolation does fixed damage to your health that's independent to fire resistance? I don't know. Fun fact, using it is a good way to counter Mimics from eating you if you're doing a solo BBI run. The more you know.

It's new content to the main game which adds a big dungeon with new monsters, armor, weapons, and rings that'll give you access to tier 3 skills, among other things. There are some other changes to the game such as more port crystals lying around, cheaper ferrystones, and some other changes I don't remember. Unfortunately, it doesn't have standalone DLC, and you have to rebuy the game + Dark Arisen, but it's tons of fun and the challenge offered from the new area, Bitterblack Isle, and its new enemies is pretty great. http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon%27s_Dogma:_Dark_Arisen From the OP quote:Following the announcement of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen last year we are now pleased to confirm concrete details about this expansion to the world of Dragon’s Dogma. Scheduled for release on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from April 23 in North America and April 26 across Europe, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is the next exciting chapter in the Dragon’s Dogma franchise. Coming both on a physical disc and as a full game digital download, the title delivers a huge brand new area, missions, enemies and more, plus all of the content from the original game.

It comes with all the previous on-disk DLC, an entire new area in the game that's designed to provide a challenge even to higher leveled players, and it makes a bunch of quality of life changes, such as making Ferrystones cost 1/10th what they did previously, and placing 5 portcrystals at various places in Gransys.

So, I have a character that I've beaten the game with that I'm pretty sure I still have the save game for. If I re buy the game on marketplace can I use my previous save and get that infinite ferrystone bonus and stuff?

Yes, as long as you have a save from the original DD you can get the bonus RC, outfits and infinite ferrystone on your old character or any new ones you make.

I'm confused about some of these pawns that show up for you to enlist... I constantly see some with terrible/zero equipment, or low level/no skills equipped. Why is this? Why would someone have their pawn like that?

Fighter and Warriors have their own perks, but, man. Doing things like summoning Meteors, shooting lasers, lighting yourself on fire, wrecking the FPS due to your Sigils. All that stuff is just too cool. Also, Fighters and Warriors don't have as many mobility options. Staves let you hover, daggers let you double jump. I like having one of those for running around.

Bob NewSCART posted:No one seems to be talking about being fighter or warrior which is I'm pretty sure what my dude is.

Magic lets you do poo poo like heal people (mage), light yourself on fire (magick Archer), or call down meteors from the sky (Sorcerer), or summon a gently caress off magic cannon you shoot by hitting it with your sword (Mystic Knight. And Strider/Ranger/Assassins get all the cool Ninja poo poo like higher jumping and great ranged ability. Most fighter/warrior abilities boil down to 'and then I hit it a slightly different way with my sword' with no real versatility like every other class gets (Range, different damage types, great movement etc.) And also, the stuff in the DLC area in Dark Arisen feels like it would be hard as poo poo for anyone who relied wholly on melee, that poo poo is brutal up close.

To the defense of the Warriors, they are for most purposes pretty bad. They're slow, they lack mobility, they lack options due to only having three moves at any given time. Their main claim to fame is an unwieldy as gently caress, long charge time super smash. All this makes Warriors sound bad. The thing is, that super smash, if you get it off JUST right, is literally the most satisfying attack in the entire game. That single fact makes them immensely fun to play, because when you get that ONE PERFECT HIT in, and smash several lifebars out of a boss in one move... There's nothing like it. Other classes are more effective or efficient. But nothing compares to Warriors for absolute sheer feeling of being a loving BADASS.

It's literally impossible to catch the home town thief isn't it? e: okay I did it. The clue was: I can't shoot magic arrows at him. Implying he isn't a target. So none of my "zoom forward and stab him" skills lock on, or hit. Just standing still and tossing out a single light punch did though. I was "average" encumberence and he runs faster than me. There is no running into him in town. He runs faster than I can. And he does some psycho mantis bullshit where the instant I press the grab button he spins on a dime and is gone. I am left grabbing air. Every time I dashed forward to stab something he'd just run through me and out the gate. Eight tries. Krinkle fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Nov 10, 2013 |

Well grabbing him was impossible. He broke and started spinning in a tight circle and I got about twelve good grabs in before his AI fixed and he ran off to the church again and my arms go literally through him. You can only beat him unconscious and then grab him, even youtubes of people accomplishing it have them chasing him grabbing air for five minutes and eventually just beating the poo poo out of him and picking him up off the ground.

I'd say a better question is Magick Archer or Assassin. I can't really remember what the Strider gets that's unique, but I'm biased because I played through most of the game as an assassin. I'd honestly say Magick Archer because being able to use staves and knives on a single class is pretty handy. The biggest downside is you can't abuse the loving christ out of Blast Arrows as an MA. abagofcheetos posted:I'm confused about some of these pawns that show up for you to enlist... I constantly see some with terrible/zero equipment, or low level/no skills equipped. Why is this? Why would someone have their pawn like that? Well, is it zero or equipment or 'sexy' equipment? I turned my pawn into a sexy elf lady and gave her a silver breastplate (read, bra) and came back a few days later to hundreds of thousands of RC. There are also lots of people who just don't give a gently caress about their dudes.

Krinkle posted:What do I do to order my goddamn sorcerer pawn, the only one of us with magical attacks, to maybe think about doing literally anything about the phantasms constantly harrying the rest of us mundane sword and bow assholes? It isn't go or come here or help me. He puts those balls of light to rotate around him, and then does nothing, for twenty straight minutes. Check your pawn's inclinations. If it doesn't have Utilitarian/Scather/Challenger, it's just going to pussyfoot around being a dumbass. You can change inclinations at the encampment. Sorcerer is only useful for the Magic and Cast Speed augments unless you're playing the class yourself since you can pick and choose when/what to cast. If you want a magic pawn, make him a Mage, or just set him to use Mage-only skills. A big misconception players make is that 2nd tier vocations are automatically better than the 1st tier vocations, which couldn't be further from the truth. Sorcerers: Long Cast Times = Extremely High Damage. Mages: Shorter casts = Still pretty drat awesome damage. Mages rule, especially once you unlock 3rd tier skills via BBI rings. Grand Ingle = Fire Machinegun hilarity! Same goes for Grand Frigor and Levin. Horace Kinch fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Nov 10, 2013 |

There's one part in his path through the town where he darts down a small strip of grass between a fence and a dropoff. He immediately doubles back at that point, so it's easy to catch him if you stop when he enters that area and grab him as he's running back. Or you could just smack him down, but I find that a bit less satisfying. The idea is to know where he'll be running and wait for him to run into you, not chase him in circles forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B30gT5jh4ck&t=291s

RC is for brainwashing your pawns and identifying cursed BBI items. You're going to want lots of it once you can tackle BBI. (BBI) Monsters drop it like it's going out of style and you can find pretty generous amounts in chests, but other players hiring your pawn is like robbing the bank and getting away with it. Some people deck out their pawns in thongs because some pervert will hire them out so he can stare at pixel-booty while murdering chimeras.

If you're going hard melee, bring some sort of magic pawn to help you with Spectral Knights, since they become immune to physical attacks after a certain point. Also, nearly everything there is weak to either frost or thunder. Watch out for Eliminators (Minotaurs), they're faster than they look and will gently caress you up in record time. I prefer Daggers to Swords, personally. I roll with Gale Harness, Invisibility, and Hundred Kisses. If you want to stick to Swords I'd stick with Burst Strike, Great Windmill, and Dire Gouge.

Yeah it's really hard, but I'm playing this for the first time now and I grabbed him without hitting him. You just need to time it a little bit early, the "whoosh" sound effect is when the grab activates. I followed the wiki's advice and just stood still outside of the inn instead of chasing after him. He literally just runs laps of the town. (checked the wiki after aforementioned Psycho Mantis bullshit)
