Just to persuade anyone who is on the fence. I've preordered the game as well as downloaded the leak. It runs perfectly well. Looks good when you tweak the graphics and use reshade.

Now I can't decide if I want to make a tank pawn or a Sorcerer pawn like I did last time. I might do tank. That said, I'm not sure how best to "teach" my pawn by example in this case. Does it only apply if you and your pawn are the same vocation, or will a Fighter pawn learn from behaviors you do when you're a Mystic Knight? (My only reservation is that I'd hate to have to compete with my pawn for heavy armor and swords that I get from Bitterblack gear. Hm.)

How many "save files" do you get? I'd like to try out different builds with different characters, but it appears that (at least for the PS3 version) you only get one save file, and thus one character/pawn.

Though you could probably manually swap them out. Hell. once the actual release comes out, I might just dick around and make a windows application to manage saves. But the Game only allows for one save because the Pawn system is only set up to allow someone to have one pawn uploaded.

I recently learned that you can stack conqueror's priapt or whatever up to 4 times. Oh god that feeling you get when you kill a cursed dragon in less than 40 seconds is divine. Didn't do much to help against 3 garm + 2 gorecyclops + evil pawns casting maelstrom. Is there any strategy for separating the garm from eachother? I am so loving glad that I kept Fournival alive, I would be lost without his infinite supply.

Pierson posted:When you start the game there's some DLC items in your item chest (these ones). All of them drop within the game and at merchants regularly. The Ruminator's Monocle is entirely cosmetic and sells for 300,000g which will take care of your money worries in the early game. I dont even remember seeing a chest in your house at Cassardis at the beginning of the game for DLC items when I played it on the PS3. Is it in Gran Soren or something?

The DLC is really good if you like dungeon crawling, because it's pretty much pure dungeon crawling (assuming you're talking about Dark Arisen). But it's fun as hell and has very cool bosses. Tells kind of a cool story about another possible fate for Arisen, too.

The Dark Arisen content is fantastic and feels very different from the rest of the game. A lot tougher, darker, and more tense in a way that sorta reminds me of Dark Souls. It also has a stronger focus on loot, giving you some cool endgame gear to work towards. I think the story stuff is complete trash though, which is a shame because I like where the original DD eventually goes with its ridiculous plot.

I like the story stuff in Dark Arisen largely because of its contrast with the core Dragon's Dogma story. It's a really personal and understated story, rather than a big story about questing to slay a dragon and then things getting a whole lot more complicated. I think my only real issue with Dark Arisen is the way Bitterblack Gear works. I already kind of hated the random loot in Everfall, where chests had random contents and players were incentivized to constantly save-scum for the loot they were looking for. Bitterblack Gear adds another level of RNG to it--not only is it not guaranteed that you're going to get Bitterblack Gear when you open a chest that can include it, you also then have to go identify it, where it might well be something you already have, or something useless to you. I know there are ways to nudge the RNG a bit (make the Arisen and main pawn the same pure vocation to limit what the gear can identify to, identify gear in different orders to end up elsewhere on the RNG table, etc.), I still kind of hate it and it seems like way more trouble than loot in a single-player game should be. I'm still gonna put up with it (again) because I'm a complete sucker for cool-looking weapons and armor, of course.

I spent maybe an hour in BBI on the PS3 shortly after starting a NG+ and legitimately could not hurt anything despite being an Assassin and having been gifted what I think was the top tier BBI Assassin Bow.

There's an easier way to do that. this is a link to a Cheat Engine Table that will let you use "Secret of Metamorphosis" (a NG+ setting to edit your pawn and Arisen at anytime) from the main menu by pressing Ctrl+Shift and enter on any menu item from the title screen.

Is the loot thing enough of a problem that I probably won't get the gear I want without savescumming? When it comes to Bitterblack Gear items, you don't really have to worry about that until you've progressed into Bitterblack Isle for a bit. But as I remember, I had to do a pretty hefty amount of savescumming and RNG manipulation to get about half of what I wanted before I got bored with the PS3 version. I'm sure there was a more efficient way to do it than I was doing it, but basically, if you want a full set of any specific Bitterblack armor, be ready to either play for hours and hours or just savescum a bunch. Weapons aren't so bad, though it helps to be aware of how identification (purification, in DD) works. Basically, it's always going to pull an item that either your Arisen or your main pawn can use. So you can narrow the field of what you can get by making your Arisen and main pawn the same vocation when you purify. That helps a bunch. Luckily, the NPC who purifies items for you can also change your vocation, so it's pretty simple to make that happen every time. Involves a lot of re-equipping gear after changing back to your normal vocations, though.

Luckily, the NPC who purifies items for you can also change your vocation, so it's pretty simple to make that happen every time. Involves a lot of re-equipping gear after changing back to your normal vocations, though. More specifically, every weapon and armor falls into one of 3 categories - Red, Yellow, or Blue. This corresponds with the colors of each class. Mage/sorc are blue, fighter/warrior are red, strider/ranger are yellow, and the hybrid classes are two colors simultaneously (red and blue for mystic knight, for example). Bitterblack stuff you identify will only ever be a type of armor/weapon that fits your class color or the color of your main pawn. This doesn't necessarily mean that your class can use it though - a magick archer and a strider cannot use a longbow, but you may get a longbow since it is in the yellow pool of items, which your class belongs to. Because of this, you can switch your main pawn's class and your own class to fighter or warrior, identify the item, and guarantee the red result. You can reset the game and try the same for the blue or yellow results by switching classes each time. This gives you some degree of control over what you're getting. It's also worth noting that the items you get are seeded at the beginning of the game and you cannot change it. If the red result for the 6th lvl 3 Bitterblack weapon you identify is a Dread Aspis shield, you will get that shield every time you identify it as a red class, no matter how many times you reset the game, and even if you destroy the unidentified weapon and instead get another one.

Speaking of must-have skills, the game doesn't explain how the charge-shot bow skills (Mighty/Full bend and Dire/Deathly Arrow) work, which is a shame because I think they're probably the most fun bow abilities (though Great Gamble and the cone/shotgun ones are a good time too). If you just charge up the shot fully and then fire it whenever, you'll get an unimpressive attack that knocks back a bit and does slightly more than standard damage. What you're actually meant to do is let the arrow loose the moment it finishes charging and you hear the "whoosh" sound. It's pretty powerful if you get the timing right and punches right through high defense enemies that you can't otherwise scratch, but worthless if you shoot slightly before or after. The upgraded version of the skill gives you a second "whoosh" window which deals even more damage, though you can still fire within the first window if necessary. I thought archery was the most boring way to play this game until I finally realized this. Using these skills properly gives archery an element of timing and pressure that makes it a lot more interesting. Mister Bup posted:I guess what I meant there is obviously chests have randomized contents. Are there infinite chests (or at least enough that I'll eventually find everything I want) or is it possible/likely to completely loot Bitterblack and then your'e hosed? The chests respawn eventually. IIRC you can also open a chest, kill yourself if it doesn't have the desired loot (godsbane is good for this), and check again for something different. Each chest has its own pool of equipment, though. So if you want l3 bitterblack weapons or armor, you're gonna have to do this at a few specific chests near the end of the dungeon.

Just a note from someone who has beaten this game - people are blowing the random loot / savescumming thing way out of proportion. You can run the dungeon as many times as you want. Sure, you can savescum to get the loot you want, or you can just go dick around killing monsters, come back after a while, and do it all over again. The combat in this game is fun as hell, it really isn't a chore to do this stuff.

If you're actually trying to get the best equipment in the game, I think it would be pretty crazy not to do this stuff. Didn't get a l3 item out of the chest at the end? Guess I'll go do the entire dlc all over again for another shot at it which isn't guaranteed to be successful either, rather than spending a couple minutes godsbaning myself. Sure do want that heavy armor set for my mystic knight, too bad I got the mage stuff instead. Rather than reloading the game and swapping classes to fighter/fighter to make sure I get what I'm looking for, I'll spend hours and hours trying to get another unidentified armor piece which might end up being mage gear again. The chances of getting what you're looking for are just too low without cheesing it a bit. Spending a tiny bit of time manipulating your drops gets you a nice loop of restart dungeon->complete dungeon->pick up something worthwhile almost every time.
