They're like two suicide notes stuffed into a glitter bra

If I remember right, your ~*BELOVED*~ was whichever max-affinity character you spoke to most recently before the fight. Just make sure to talk to and give a gift to whoever you like best right before you fight the dragon and it should be fine.

I always wanted to get Mercedes but it is very hard because you don't have a lot of time to max her affinity before she leaves, and because once she leaves you have to skip as much as possible and attack / avoid / threaten all of the shopkeepers and quest givers CONSTANTLY until you fight the dragon.

E:
Best waifus:
Selene
Madeleine
Feste
Fournival
Mercedes

Worst waifus:
Fournival's daughter Moon Moon
Ansalam the Innkeeper
Valmiro because gently caress Valmiro

a storm is coming...

The easy way to get Mercedes is to do absolutely everything you want to do prior to the quest where she becomes unavailable. Right before taking said quest, give her the Arisen's Bond to guarantee max affinity. The only quest that becomes available only after that which could ruin your chances is the SAVE THE PRINCESS quest, so just make sure to keep tossing her or give her that one item that drastically reduces affinity while rescuing her. Besides that, just rush through to the end.

My optimal end is the even more challenging waifu, which is Julien. He even has unique dialog for it, unlike most characters, which is kind of amazing considering how difficult it is to end up with him.

Now I'm tempted to make a child arisen warrior and pretend the entire thing is just a kid playing in his backyard. He ends up with the child bride, declares "ew, cooties" and the game ends with him running inside to have dinner.

Since you can make your Arisen be any age you could make them be around teen age and have their waifu be Selene and that'd be cute.

edit: Or have them romance Fournival if you really want to

Type the game name into this site, it'll show you the lowest prices. It looks like Gamesplanet has it for 24 bucks but I don't know if the game is region-locked or not. If it's not, I'd say go for it since Gamesplanet is legit.

I don't watch poo poo TV shows so I wouldn't know about all that, but I do know that the only boundaries of love in Dragon's Dogma are your own imagination and how much gold you want to spend on a thousand copies of the same item.

It appears that my ill-advised attempts to upgrade to Windows 10 have killed my desktop PC. Upgrading caused frequent blue screens, and then when I tried to roll back to Windows 7 it apparently hosed up halfway through and left the PC unable to boot. Trying to do a clean install from a USB doesn't work, and has apparently led to the hard drive now having two separate, incomplete installations of Windows 10, neither of which will allow itself to be completed.

What I'm saying is that I'll be living vicariously through your Dragon's Dogma adventures while I try to scrounge up enough money to buy a new hard drive or something and just start from scratch. Fly Into Free for me, everyone.

I posted in Haus of Tech Support, but my guess is I probably just need to buy a new hard drive.

One problem is that I don't have my old Windows 7 activation key so if I do need to do a clean install of Windows 10 I'll probably have to buy a product key, which is upsetting. I don't really feel like dropping the money on both a new hard drive and a Windows 10 key right now, so, y'know. I hope there's a better solution.

My timing is terrible.

You don't need a new drive for a hosed up OS installation. You'll be OK, and there is no reason why you won't also be able to learn about the hunting habits of wolves with the rest of us.

Well, the issue that I'm having right now is that something on the HD is supremely hosed up and even though my PC tells me there's no operating system there, it won't accept a clean installation of Windows 10. It gets about halfway, restarts, then starts a whole new installation from scratch even though there's a half-finished one hanging out there.

I'd need the Windows key either way, definitely, but right now I have no idea how to effectively make my HD actually accept a new OS being installed on it.

Format it using Windows install media and try to reinstall again.

Did that. At least using the only install media I have available (a Windows 10 USB drive) it fails to actually format the hard drive. Quits out at around 30% progress.

Anyway I'll stop posting about this here, this is a thread for discussing flying into free and various other aughts, not my own personal failure to be a successful PC owner.

Yeah, that might indicate it's the HD itself that is broken.

I welcome the derail though - the more I read about this drat game the more interminable the wait gets for it to come out on Steam :supaburn:

It's been forever since I bought anything through iTunes but iTunes should allow for downloads, and even if it's in an Apple format iTunes has a built-in format converter.

So hey, apparently a) the game has leaked and/or been cracked already, and b) it is already possible to mod Into Free into your game, and someone has done it and given you the means to do it too for when the game releases for real. This is incredibly important news.

This has exceeded all of my expectations. I figured it'd be a day one mod, not a "six days before release" mod.

Good to know that by the time I get to play (whenever that is...) I'll have Into Free up and ready to go.

And even if you don't trust that download since it's from some rando on the internet or whathaveyou, that reddit link contains the location of the file you will have to replace, so you can just do it yourself without the download once the game decrypts on Steam.

Yeah it's 'Tittle_DDN.sngw' which is just an ogg vorgis file that you can play in any player. Expected a dodgy loader but it's a trivial mod.

With a few plot-related exceptions, I'm pretty sure you can romance literally any named NPC in the game. Like, meet J. Random Idjit who does nothing but wander the merchants' quarter to give the city the appearance of being crowded, give them presents until they get all blushy at the sight of you, and then bam! they are your love interest and the game will treat them as such in cutscenes.

Madeline's fleeing Gran Soren quest can happen after Mercedes leaves too, so watch out for that poo poo since it can be easy to max her affinity out by accident and then you'll be stuck.

Luckily, you can assault Aelinore or some guards and fail the princess quest while still getting full access to the Blighted Manse. You'll just have to make do without Love-in-the-Rough, which I'm sure some nice goon will make a copy for you if you ask nicely.
