I've done 2 pure strider runs and they're great for the jumping off cliffs without taking damage, double jump, etc. This time around I guess I'll roll mage and get a pawn to learn off of me, maybe do as many quests as possible so the pawn can help people out. Also makes it easier to dragon forge the pawn's gear.

Ranger is the only class I've yet to really play. So I'll probably go for that. Will romance the female bandit leader.

That's one of the many mechanics that hopefully people don't find out in advance and we hear great stories about.

I'm gonna do a balanced-stat Mystic Knight run. Starting as a Fighter, splitting the pre-100 levels between Ranger, Assassin, and Mystic Knight, then splitting the 100-200 between Sorcerer and Mystic Knight. I'll end up with about 4100 HP, 3800 ST, and about 520 each Attack and Magick. It's not "optimal" but it lets me be good at everything Mystic Knight can do while also getting to play as an array of classes I enjoy, so I think it'll work out pretty nicely.

There was a reddit(?, may have been gamefaqs) post about best builds for LV 200 stats, I only really remember the MAX ATK/DEF one which is 1-10 Strider, 11-100, Assassin, 101-200 MK.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:i never touched lvl 100 in any of my playthroughs, spending all that time optimising stats for a build sounds really boring On hard mode getting to 200 is pretty easy and takes about 25 to 30 hours from start to finish. You just need to be willing to grind dragons... a lot. They give like 140K EXPon hard, that gets you to 170 pretty easy than you can just plow through BBI to get to Damon which you should be about 180-185ish when you clear it twice. Damon gives 2 Mil EXP a fight with a pilgrim's charm. You'll get 2 levels a fight till 195 than it's just a fight= a level.

If you go through BBI both times you'll probably just end up being a bit over 100. The only way you're gonna get higher is if you grind which is kinda worthless.

Hard Mode's way more fun than normal imo. I did back to back playthroughs of both and you get so many discipline points that I ended up mastering 7 of the vocations after 1 run and both times through bitterblack on my hard character. It's kind of tough early on but it definitely evens out around Gran Soren.

The secret best way to play is of course to dive into BBI as soon as you get your pawn and never leave. Optional objectives: - No level grinding allowed, kill Gazer at max level 15 and zombie pope around 35-40. - No twink pawns - No ricochet spam

mirarant posted:The secret best way to play is of course to dive into BBI as soon as you get your pawn and never leave. Basically, yeah. BBI is the strongest point, and while it takes a little doing, is perfectly playable from level 1. It quickly becomes manageable in normal fashion by the time you hit zombie pope, especially if you do a small handful of cursed item chest runs to get some gear, or cash for gear from Barroch. Only hang up is getting an Everfall/first tier DA weapon so you can actually start damaging things, but it isn't strictly necessary, and usually you will blunder upon one either way.

When the dragon was like 'Here is your beloved', and that poor gardener motherfucker was there, I was super confused. Heart this game. EDIT: Is there a PS4 version of this thing coming?

Because I want to play this a lot It'll still take some effort on your part, but there are infographics out there for skills and the options menu, as well as communities of English-speaking players who have done most of the hard work of translating or guessing at quests. You can probably get pretty far with just those.

Alright, for the new people here who are jumping into this for the first time, here is a very important video that is IMO, an essential watch for anyone going into Dragon's Dogma, even veterans should watch as they will learn a thing or two from this. Bonus: Combat Montage // Spell Montage.

I am unreasonably hyped about this. I've already played this game to death and I'm so ready to do it again. Dragon's Dogma is just distilled fun in video game form. (I will, however, use whatever stupid PC cheats anyone comes up with to help deal with random chest contents in Everfall/BBI without having to tediously save scum. That's like the only issue I have with the game at all.)
