Still waiting for this to download, how are the PC controls on this? I think I'm gonna end up using a controller anyway, but if they're decent I might play an archer for the first time ever, really.

Is there any reason not to just go with my fallback (and totally independantly created I swear) idea of just making my pawn Mr Satan?

From what I've heard the PC controls work pretty well, especially for ranged classes, but I think that controllers are the way to go since this is a third person action RPG.

Also please make Mr. Satan.

The PC controls are OK. I'm playing as a strider right now. Being able to use the mouse to aim is a godsend, and the quick access keys are useful as hell (Even though you can only map your lantern and curatives to them for some reason.) The only problem I have is that the primary/secondary skill buttons are mapped to lctrl and lalt by default, and that takes some getting used to. The bow toggle is pretty weird, too.

Should I just beeline to Gran Soren before I go back to my hometown and start being a big god damned hero, or what?

In fact, are there any other good "DO THIS FIRST" tips anywhere? I know there was something about easy fast travel

Frankly, I don't like you

Yeah I can't aim worth a drat with an analogue stick, a mouse I'm fine with. I mean, I'm just gonna go Magick Archer all day erry day eventually, but I like to flit around earlier on.

Man, I'm a clumsy motherfucker, so I just know I'm gonna end up hitting the windows key when I try and hit L-alt and then get munched in half by a Griffin. What a gaffe that'll be, eh? Ho ho ho.

Stop stressing over little poo poo and just play the game. Do what sounds fun and have fun. Don't do what doesn't sound fun.

The game auto-pauses if it loses focus. As in, opens up the start button menu, pauses. So there's that.

Hey, do you need to do anything specific to put your pawn out there?



Because if not, you should definitely hire my dude, brad. I'm sure he'll be a real joy.

(I'm also certain this has already been done, and better.)

Also, can you ever edit your main person? I realized about 20 minutes in that she definitely needs a facial scar.

Yes, you can buy redo items in the encampment for about 4000 RC. Just talk to the guy standing near the rift stone.

You may want to consider doing the Cassardis sidequest to check on Quina in the woods. That opens up a quest chain later in the game. It's nothing incredibly vital though.

I just rode this huge beast off of a massive drop (the middle of the spiral dungeon you do after Gran Soren) and landed with him dead and me without a scratch.

Also note that you get an infinite fast travel item really quickly. I don't know if this can be overstated.

Once you get to Gran Soren it's just automatically in your inventory. Eternal Ferry Stone I think it's called.

I'm probably going to wait until they fix the issues with the recommendation system before playing much more. Got myself to Gran Soren with a DP ring (didn't care enough to go for two) and decided to chill out while they figure out what's wrong with the servers or whatever.

Yeah it's kind of a bummer. For some reason the game doesn't even give me the option to give pawns gifts. Other people said they could, but presumably the person did not get the gift. I think I'm going to hold off on it until it gets sorted out.

I was going to try out a lot of different pawns since I have so many people on my friend list now, but until they get the reward system working, I think I'll just roll with Brad and Undyne.

It just makes thing faster if you want to change class a lot since it gives you +50% discipline points. Not having it won't gimp your character or anything

I know the Quina quest does time out. Which hole are you talking about? If its the PAWN HOLE then you may want to go and do the Quina quest first.
