I looked up how to save/transfer screenshots on console and it looked like a hassle, and so I am most excited for PC because it means I can show everybody screenshots of my arisen in mid-backflip on fire on top of a giant angry gorilla-demon.

Huh? On ps3 you just plug a flash drive in and transfer stuff over. I never did it because I never really took any screenshots worth saving/posting, but you can't really get much more simple than that.

Maybe it's different on 360 or something?

on xbox you had to upload to a linked facebook account, which then automatically uploaded + posted it on the account
it took a long time and was a pain in the rear end

Implicate is really good.

Implicate is one of those excellent skills to put on the exceedingly rare support strider pawn. Also pretty loving fun to pull off yourself, planting a bunch of Greater Goblins or Hellhounds on their butts so they stop spamming their incessant knockdowns. It also works on flyers, which is great for folks trying to stick with red classes.

Ramc from 2013 says that it even works to bring down Eliminators or Ogres, as they have vulnerable frames to it.

correct, it's actually super broken vs minotaurs because of that- it's basically the only way to deal with them as a strider in bbi only challenge

I didn't think to look for a goon thread when I was actively playing this game. I had an almost maxed out bestiary and 2 alternate accounts because nobody would hire my pawns.

And I'm still baffled at the idea of a PC release because while I really enjoy the game I don't think it's a very good one, and I feel like few people would really be able to overlook the flaws of the game and enjoy the very few aspects of the game that keep me coming back every few months. But I'd be very happy if the PC release gets love and people actually play it and hire pawns.

Umm.. randomized dungeons/areas (well, unless you count Everfall and the Dark Arisen area). Randomized loot?

This was my favorite game on the ps3 and it will be so great to play it without any slowdown.

I hope they redo New Game+ though, just felt boring to me because the monsters didn't increase in strength so you're just one shotting everything.

Given how open the community manager on Steam has been with information, I'd imagine that's something that would have been said if it were happening. Which is unfortunate.

I'm gonna try it on the little babby cyclops in Watergod's Altar. Strider is like the secretly fun starting class that dips in usefulness towards the middle but then shines again at master level with Implicate, Master Thief, Brain Splitter, and that one kung fu jump kick.

If they are lazy, the save files will all be in plain text and easily modded. If not, Cheat Engine, among other things, will of course be center stage.

But why hire random pawns anyway? The gear is one thing but their inclinations are more important. Most people won't figure out the system. If Millions is still around we can get a new goon spreadsheet up.

I find that the premade offline pawns are generally way more useful than the pool of random player pawns. They aren't all loving Guardian inclination, and you get slightly fewer half-naked 10-year old waifus with ultra high pitched voices. You end up finding one worthwhile party member out of every like, 20 pawns instead of every 100.

These children have taught me how to believe.
I mostly played with pawns made by other goons and aside from being horribly unbalanced (free level 100 pawns out the gate? Sure!) it was a good experience. I'm probably not going to minmax my pawn, but I am going to force feed him potions until his inclination is good.

They can always check the pawn stats server-side to see if there are any blatant inconsistencies. It's been a while since I've played so I can't remember how locked down everything was per level or whether it gave the option to hire pawns with flagrantly out-of-place gear.

I liked hiring random player pawns, the job selection process and seeing whether a pawn was decent or a dud was part of the game's charm. Ignoring the ones that failed the dress code weeded out most of the dreck straight off.

I dunno, I find BBI to be kind of repetitive, but I know people say that about the core game, too. I like BBI a whole lot, but I wouldn't want it to be the only thing I do.

Speaking of BBI, though, I really hope there's some easy way to savescum for random chest drops. That's my biggest complaint about Dragon's Dogma: it bugs me that chests have random contents, especially in BBI, where you also have to identify what you find. Double random is a huge pain. Maybe someone will make a mod that makes any chest that can drop Bitterblack Gear always drop it so at least that part of the RNG is controlled.

The only pages that matter on any forum are the first and last. And basically nothing changed with the first. New players aren't going to read though 20, 30, or 200+ pages, it won't matter.

BBI only challenge runs make it much less repetitive. Though of course, they're not something you want to do immediately. I found them good for additional content when I still wanted to play but got tired of the base game.

BBI loot that you have to identify isn't double random (nor is it random, at least in the way you're probably thinking). What an item is is determined when you identify it, and what it is is somewhat fixed. Basically there's a list of things it goes through that's generated for your save file (and so is unique for each). So the first thing you identify will be from category A (as an example), then B, then C, etc. before eventually looping back around to the start. What specific item you get depends on what item you're purifying. So with save scumming you can game the system a little. You can't change what category you're getting the item from, but you can change which order you purify your loot in. So if your next purified item is from category E and you purify a lv.2 weapon thingy and it's bad, you can purify something else, than purify lv.2 weapon thingy and get the corresponding weapon in the next category, F. And there's lists of which items are in which category on GameFAQs ans such.

Not sure if that was clear or not. It makes more sense if you play around with it yourself.
