Does the story ever try to explain the time gap between the end of the main game and the start of the 1st DLC? Was William on that boat for 10 years?

It took a while to travel to England, then he stayed there a while, then it took a while to travel back.

I do wonder what a possible Nioh 2 would be like. A prequel about Yasuke or a distant sequel about the fall of the samurai ending at Shiroyama would be pretty cool. Side note, I've started rereading Shogun and it's weird how much easier it is to follow now after having played this game, even though Clavell changed the historical names for no good reason.

I read through Shogun in late 2016 (it was actually what led me to Nioh), and I believe they were changed because Shogun is largely a fictionalized take on the events. For example, while Blackthorne and Mariko have a romance in the book, in real-life, I don't believe William Adams and Hosokawa Gracia knew each other.

DatonKallandor posted:It took a while to travel to England, then he stayed there a while, then it took a while to travel back. My issue is how the cutscene is portrayed. So in England in 1603 William sees a vision of Hanzo in danger, then a transition to William on a boat heading there. Did William wait like 8 years during that transition? The weird thing is that unlike the other DLC DotN doesn’t seem to be based on any actual historical events so they could’ve made it whatever year they wanted.

It is literally impossible to rush somewhere back then. It’s like a two week journey on horse between most major cities unless you are loving booking it and if you have to cross a body of water at all you might end up waiting at a port for weeks before someone is going where your going. It’s likely he just had to wait until he had 2-3 years to spare so he could make the journey.

They could always inverse the formula, have Nioh 2 be us playing Hasekura Tsunenaga on his adventures in Europe and Mexico. I'm pretty sure they even indirectly reference him since he's the guy Masamune sent out and I recall the cat saying something about them probably sending an envoy out.

As I said above they could use similar mechanics to Nioh but set it in any pre modern historical period and have a similar game that has fun with history. William Marshall kicking Prince John's arse! Dienekes coming back as a revenant from Thermopylae to murder Pausanias! One of the sons of Bayezid I being the real thing that killed Tamerlane! (To make Tamerlane and his army demonic would require almost no creativity.)

(To make Tamerlane and his army demonic would require almost no creativity.) I guess worse-case scenario is if they set it in the Three Kingdoms era (which wouldn't be a bad thing, mind you, but Three Kingdoms era China and Sengoku Japan seem to be the main go-to time period for Koei-Tecmo). The 'Nioh' title also seems like it wouldn't really apply anymore if it was set outside of Japan. Actually, that reminds me of something: I read that Nioh originally started out back in 2003 from an Kurosawa script called 'Oni.' Were there ever any details on it? So long as I'm talking about films, are there any recommended samurai films that anyone recommends? I was looking through a list of samurai movies the other day, and the only one that stuck out to me was Kagemusha. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Jan 25, 2018 |

And the Manly Death of the viking leader you've been following and developing a meaningful relationship with after the final battle in the game will STILL make me get emotional and have to leave the room whilst clearing my throat and mumbling something about allergies.

I was looking through a list of samurai movies the other day, and the only one that stuck out to me was Kagemusha. The best: Yojimbo, and to a lesser extent, the sequel Sanjuro. Seven Samurai is aalso a classic, as is Ran (King Lear but in Japan). Hidden Fortress is pretty good too. Can't go wrong with Kurosawa, to be honest. Also, if you want to break out from Kurosawa, just look up the selections in the Criterion Collection. There are also a smattering of good modern samurai films, but they are more action focused than story focused.

Yoji Yamada's trilogy (Twilight Samurai, Hidden Blade, Love and Honor) are good modern samurai movies that are more about looking at the late-stage shogunate world from the perspective of low-middle class samurai.

I haven’t played Nioh since it’s original release but I played a lot of it then and had a huge amount of fun however I stopped and haven’t touched it since. I picked up the DLCs while they were on sale recently and I’m planning to play through them soon (as soon as I’m done with another game I’m playing). I loaded the game up to have a quick look at things and was overwhelmed with the amount they have added so I have a couple of questions. In games like this, despite the ease of respeccing my character, I always have separate characters/saves for ideas, I’m probably weird that way but it’s what I do. I have two main ones: a single katana weirding heavy armor William with some magic and other stuff to power through things. My other character is Light Armor mainly ninja skills with a kurisagama (I don’t think I ever got around to completely finishing way of the strong with either though). I think I want to start up a new save to re-familiarise myself with the game and to get a feel for the new weapons they’ve added. Unless people advise I just pick up one of my existing saves to continue from? I’m guessing having an Odachi for one weapon and a Tonfa for the other probably isn’t a good idea due to them using different stats/playstyles? If so which would people recommend I mostly use first while going through way of the samurai/strong? Also are there any specific armor sets for the Odachi or Tonfa that was added? I imagine Odachi would be good with heavy or medium and tonfa best with light?

RoboJoe posted:I think I want to start up a new save to re-familiarise myself with the game and to get a feel for the new weapons they’ve added. Unless people advise I just pick up one of my existing saves to continue from? I didn't start a new save file until I was getting burned out by Way of the Nioh on my main save file, and mostly because I wanted to try the tonfa and spear movesets while unlocking new stuff for them gradually, instead of being overwhelmed by having all the skills at once. I went through the first two difficulties with kusarigama/katana/iga jounin set, but switched to odachi/dual swords/a mix of medium armor sets once I came back to the game after the last DLC came out. Which you try first is up to you, I'd say just pick one of each up and try their basic movesets to see which one clicks for you. I think there's two sets each for Odachi and Tonfa. It's been awhile since I've played, but I think there's one heavy armor set for odachi, a medium armor one, and two light sets for tonfa.

groan. think i just hit a bug. i hiromi branched out of a level (and i know i didn't accidentally use the one that loses you all your amrita because i accessed it via my item shortcuts which definitely does not have that) and lost two hours of amrita farming. casual couple of billion (yeah yeah i know later on that might not be anything much but right now that would've been a good 10 - 20 levels).

thirteenth warrior is great. only thing that annoyed me was 'this is too heavy for me' or whatever he says when he gets given a viking sword. european swords (and pretty much all swords) were not heavy! except maybe the huge polearm-type greatswords, but even they're, you know, 7 odd pounds at most. excuse my neckbearding out. i've been playing around with sword of salvation the last hour. it doesn't really seem very noticeable. i've been trying to use it to farm marobashi since i rely mainly on parries for everyone there until the sword guy at the end, and don't think i'm hitting any more parries than i normally do.

Unfinish3d posted:I wouldn't bother starting fresh again if you already have a bunch of saves. You can always just spend a bit of time messing around in an early mission to get re-acquainted with the controls and stuff. Thanks for this advice, apologies for the delay in response though. I ended up doing both things I mentioned: I started a new game to get a feel for the combat again and to try out the Odachi across first 5 or 6 main missions. After that I loaded up my heavy armor guy and respecced him to get the Odachi skills and tried the first mission in the first DLC which went surprisingly well (the boss took me a few attempts though), so I'll carry on with this save now I've got a feel for the game again even though I'm still pretty bad. I'll have to look up those Odachi sets and see if I want to stay as Heavy armor or change to Medium depenging on what effects they have. I might load up my other save with my all ninja guy and see how I like the Tonfa in light armor with him at some point but for now I'm liking the Odachi to go through the DLCs with.
