Funnily enough, despite hearing it a thousand times a session, this is kind of a lie. Goblins aren't particularly weak to any damage type. Their only modifier is for Dark magic, which they're resistant to.

I guess they still might "ill like" being set on fire, but that's a pretty broadly applicable statement.

You can
- customise your character and pawn,
- have your own room and pet,
- adjust skills using commands without needing to visit an NPC (but that is also an option)
- use the various emotes
- store items
- summon enemies

All I want for DD2 (aside from just more DD) is either making more opportunities to cast the BIG spells or make casting faster in general. Also the ability to tell what rank of a spell/skill you want your Pawns to use.

Yeah, meteor shower and tornado are amazing spectacles but you never have a real chance to use them in normal combat.

I always thought it would be fun if there was an augment that let you move around and dodge at normal speed while you charged spells, maybe even having it charge faster when you were closer to enemies and slower if you were further, but that would probably be way too strong.

There's some motherfuckers in Bitterblack Isle that always seem to have no trouble casting Tornado on me.

All I remember about Bitterblack Isle is either that or you do it first or get something there, it's tough but then you're significantly OP for the rest of the game, or some trick like that.

If all they added was a way to change equipment appearance so every well-geared pawn doesn't look identical and a few more "Grigori is here and the game is suddenly a heavy metal album cover" scenes, I'd happily play for another 100+ hours.

I really hated end-game DD fashion. So much so I just dressed them up however I wanted and hoped for the best

Luckily armor was never very important. Slap on an endgame weapon and you can wear whatever. I always tried to get my pawn 100% petrify and sleep res though.

Melee MK is my favorite vocation but only if you use mods to lower the cast times and extend the duration of their buffs. Otherwise you spend 50% of your time in combat rebuffing and it's not as though they are anywhere near powerful enough to compensate for it.

The only big change I hope they make is the damage and defense formula. It was poorly balanced and annoying to have to chug periapts.

Maybe it's time to try to beat DD1 again then. I basically always get to the first city, get lost and stop

Any tips and tricks for a starting build and what I'm meant to be doing

Don't worry about builds or any of that. Play a vocation you think is fun and just keep your weapon updated. The vast majority of your offensive stats come from your weapon so just buy new ones as they become available.

Build don't really matter, just play what feels fun but be sure to try out everything. Each class plays different enough to warrant experimentation.

Magic Archer is brrrrroooooooken OP so save it for last.

All current versions give you a permanent teleporting stone but I don't think they mention it. Exploration is less forgiving than something like Skyrim, but you may overcome some big obstacle early and find cool poo poo.

The next movie better not make me shave anything :(

If you care about stats

on level up
Red classes give offenses (warrior/assassin) and defense (fighter)
Sorcerer gives magic offense, magic archer gives magic defense. if you are playing a blue hybrid, leveling sorcerer for a while helps a lot for your magic. or you level red for your physical.
yellow give balanced, leaning stamina. 200 levels of strider has no real weaknesses
mage sucks for levels, mathematically worst class

I keep playing magic archer or the dagger class. I want to play the big 2 hand weapon class but for some reason it has less abilities.

I bought and finished dragons dogma 3 times of far and I could do it again if I had to.
