I said come in! posted:turns out ox carts can be destroyed. Quite easily too. My first one was crushed in one swoop by a roaming gryphon. I destroyed the second trying to attack a lizard near it. The third I saw was broken before I noticed it.

Okay, so, Malcolm is not giving me the Forager's Tome for some reason. Maybe I needed to have spoken to him right after his quest. Is there another way to get it?

I'm feeling like a spare wheel in my group, my pawns just murderize everything without a lot of input on my end, mainly because they're a lot better at figuring out where enemies are. I keep losing track of enemies in the undergrowth and getting side-checked by goblins and wolves while I attempt to slowly wheel around as Archer to shoot a foot to their side. One thing I remember from playing M&KB on DD1 is actually being able to aim for squat.

It was also true of DD1 but man I love how nighttime looks in this game. Incredibly dark with little splashes of warm lighting from lanterns, torches, braziers, etc. All the character models look especially good in that lighting. I finally did that beggar quest despite being like level 22 (haven't even done the first story mission in the capital yet), and the only thing that made the tailing mission palatable was admiring all the lighting in the capital after dark.

Man everyone and their mother seems to have found the Thief maister and I still haven't found ANY maisters, including any of the hybrid vocation teachers... (besides the fighter one the game literally points out to you but he didn't teach me anything and I dunno how to get him to do so) Maybe I should actually do any of the main quests at this point instead of randomly exploring and doing sidequests.

DLSS3/FSR 3 both work in game now. mostly. this has resolved most of the town specific performance issues for me with the caveat being that you have to use DLSS and it will make the HUD look like poo poo due to ghosting. download: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/37?tab=description https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/39?tab=description if you have a 30 or 20 series card then also download: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/738?tab=description disable vsync in game, enable DLSS and nvidia reflex. delete a fild named something like shadercache.cache2 in the game's main directory. then install the dlss 3.6.0 .dll, the DLSS3 enabler .dll, and then if you're on a 30 or 20 series the FSR enabler mod. if you're using the FSR mod then you need to run the disablenvidiasignaturechecks reg edit file. hopefully capcom will actually support DLSS3 in an update in the near future because the game was advertised as having it at launch and i think most of what they'd need to do is tell it to ignore hud elements

Deified Data posted:When does this guy actually move? Night time? He moves late in the afternoon. You have to tail him to the tavern in the slums then wait a while, tail him again, etc. I think so far my only real bummer with this game is that archery doesn't feel nearly as good as in DD1. Got my Arisen to rank 4 because of a quest and it's just not clicking. With how they approached physics and I guess how the RE Engine works everything has so much more heft/weight now so archery doesn't feel snappy/responsive like in DD1. The tradeoff is that stuff like perfect parries as Fighter feel amazing with all that added weight behind it. I bet Warrior feels great for the same reason so that's what I'm gonna try next. Haven't found the Magic Archer or Mystic Spearhand quests yet, but I have found a magic bow.

There's a quest in the capital to escort an oxcart on a new route to a village whose name I think begins with H - that led into the mystic Spearman unlock for me There's a fight going on at the village and you have to help out, then a guy talks to you and you have an option to ask about his fighting style. Asking about it unlocks it. Not sure if the oxcart quest intentionally led to that fight but that's the way it worked for me. You may also need to be a certain level for the quest or fight to happen, I think I was level 30ish.

Pwnstar posted:I got the Trickster Augment that lets you detect Seeker's Tokens and boy those things are everywhere. How far is the range on that? Because they already show up on your minimap as little !'s. Or does it outline them in your vision? Jack Trades posted:I keep losing pawns without noticing it. Yeah, I've also had beefy pawns just get wrecked by the goblin combo of throwing tar, fire, and then suicide rushing with a powder keg. Some of the combos the AI pulls off rule. Pawns also can die from certain drops that won't even hurt you much -or else fall damage also relies on some wonky physics or is multiplied if you do the stagger on the edge animation vs just jumping off. Also someone earlier asked about dodging, the thief and fighter at least both can learn actual moves that dodge. The game really feels like just an iteration of the first in the best ways possible, with all of the random stuff you find in the wild. The weirdest encounter I've found so far was a ghost oxcart at night. It was just walking the road and seemed like a normal cart from a distance, but when I got closer I saw the colors were off and it disappeared in a puff of ghost mist. . Also for folks worried about npcs dying to random stuff screwing you; there's a crypt in the capitol cities where dead people go and you can wakestone them there. I've never killed a civilian or seen a fight that did, but somehow there's already 2 corpses in there.

Should I try and get a full pawn party right at the start after making my own? Or just roll with the main pawn for a while? I guess the RC costs will stop me from hiring, say, Ralsei's level 28 mage (looks great btw) ?

Coolness Averted posted:How far is the range on that? Because they already show up on your minimap as little !'s. Or does it outline them in your vision? The !s are annoying because while it could be a seeker token. It could also be a ladder, or random junk pile. They'll exclaim anything, I think that's just stuff your pawn noticed.

Pretty sure there's a quest because I went back to the vocation guild after I found it and nothing changed. I'm assuming it unlocks farther along in the story since I've mainly been exploring and doing side quests.

Definitely get a full party asap

I was hating on this game a little at first but it has really grown on me. It's a great game for just setting out and adventuring, I've barely touched the story and I'm already level 35 or something just from wandering around killing things. It also makes a good game to play while doing something else (like working  ) because pausing also mutes it.

Omi no Kami posted:Is there any consensus on how base stat growth works this time? I keep hearing that it doesn't matter anymore, but I am definitely getting per-level stat increases by vocation, and it's making me feel bad for juggling vocations and having fun instead of picking a lane and grinding Assassin 200 levels so I can one-shot everything in the game. It appears the DD discord did some experimenting and the consensus is:
tl;dr gently caress it do whatever you want, it'll be fine

I keep trying to do a quest but then end up some random place when a Pawn is like "let me take you to the middle of nowhere, it's cool, I saw it online." And they're right and I get to jump on a big monster.

Prel posted:It appears the DD discord did some experimenting and the consensus is: On the other hand, in DD1 you could finish all main + DLC content way before getting even close to 200, so if it's an issue before that, it could still be a bit of an issue. Then again, not like this is that hard of a game, at least not so far.

Clocks posted:You can change vocations (this game's way of saying classes) basically whenever you want at an inn with a vocation guy in it. Learning skills costs points that you get every time you kill something (basically class exp). The save game thing is true and weird but you can just delete the save in your files manually if you want to restart with an entirely new character. BG3 and DD2 play differently in terms of, like, the camera perspective and how they control, but they're actually exactly the same game under the hood.
I'm only half being facetious, obviously there's huge mechanical differences as far as skill rolls and stuff go, but they do have a lot in common and playing BG3 has definitely influenced how I'm approaching DD2.

Also having played some more I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that DD2 may have the best caves in gaming, period. Really good caves. Definitely in the top 10 at the very least.

I dunno about rare, but having pawns gather stuff for me is a big qol thing, especially if you are a vocation that can't carry a lot. Having to pick up stuff then go into your inventory all the time to transfer it to pawns gets old real fast if you're a mage or whatever
