The Cheshire Cat posted:It's the proper city, you'll get to it right after Melve but you probably need to book it if you're aiming to test it within the refund period. Got it, thanks. Are there any time-sensitive or missable things I need to worry about besides those harpies and the guard if I wanna do a straight sprint to the capital? I could just restart if I find out it runs well enough, but it seems like an annoying process and I like my character.

Baron posted:I'm still pretty early on, but can anyone tell me if there is an equivalent to the little notice boards and their quests like the first game? I just want to know if I should be finding quests to kill a million rabbits or anything before I gently caress around too much. There aren't any notice boards (at least, not in the main city, if there's another big city in the other nation I haven't been to it yet so I can't say for sure if there isn't one there), the way you get quests in DD2 is largely randomly bumping into NPCs who will automatically initiate dialogue with you and ask for help with something (usually - sometimes you need to notice that an NPC is muttering about something and deliberately talk to them). I feel like aiming for completionism on a first playthrough at this point is a good way to have a bad time with the game; there's too much stuff that isn't known yet and the game seems deliberately designed to make what quests you find intuitively a little bit random to give more variety to playthroughs. It's probably not going to be possible to really do everything until people have explored enough of the game to document where/when you can get every quest.

Cool yeah those have been the only quests I've encountered so far. I guess it's probably good they don't have a ton of collect 10 bear asses quests in this game, but I need money... I'm sure it will all work out though!

Zodack posted:Re: timed quests, I'm sure it's been mentioned before but they have an hourglass next to them in your quest list. I have seen this but there do also seem to be hidden timers as well, mild spoilers for a quest I apparently failed without even knowing it existed: People have mentioned the quest about the noble being sent off to fight a Dullahan and you have to rescue him - I never got that quest, don't even know who gives it to you, but I did have an NPC randomly run up to me and say "oh yeah so that guy sent off to fight a Dullahan? Yeah he fuckin died yesterday". I think I initiated the timer by talking to that guy's wife while I was exploring the noble district, who mentioned him being sent to fight one but did not give me a quest about it. There was a long delay between that initial conversation and the NPC telling me the guy died, so the timer seems to be fairly generous, but there do seem to be things that can be initiated simply by learning information, not just explicitly accepting a quest

That's good confirmation I guess, serves to make me more paranoid but I've absolutely had NPCs go "Arisen, I'm worried about this thing. Maybe you could look at it?" and I check my quest log and nothing. Could be the quest is picked up at a different point but the timer still runs? Feels pretty Dragon's Dogma

So apparently Shakir likes 'interesting items' and 'expensive items'. What's the cheapest thing I could give him in these categories? I am aware that this means he will end up as my Beloved but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the lower Inn price

One thing that really disappoints me is that the launcher skills still take a slot, they really should have been core skills, or even just available to all classes. Honestly they should have given you a few more skills slots as well, just so you can have some actual variety.

Honestly they should have given you a few more skills slots as well, just so you can have some actual variety. Yeah moving some skills to just be always on is nice but there do still seem to be a lot of skills in the game for only 4 slots, there's a ton of skills that seem like they'd be great utility picks but it's hard to argue giving them a slot over any 4 other more generally useful ones. The fact that you can swap skills at camp makes me think the intention is that you will specialize your build for what you're fighting, but a lot of builds are just good against everything so there's not a ton of reason to swap things around that frequently.

It doesn't seem to take that long for inn prices to be pretty negligible anyway. I'm only like 8-10 hours in and I wouldn't get out of bed for 2k.

Vocations don't work the way you seem to think, you're meant to mess around with them: -Augments are mix-and-match, for example I jumped into Warrior and Ranger so now every vocation has the increased health and stamina augs available -Stat growth is influenced by your vocation but automatically evens out so don't worry about it -Theres advanced vocations, including one that can use the skills of the other vocations

I found a special item called Dragon Gays and in the menu it says it'll show me eakestone shards on the map, but beware because they will change over time. Does that mean AI should wait to use this thing or is it just saying don't freak out if the shards move.

Also do caves change? I cleared out a cave, left, but immediately went back in bc this guy I was trying to escort out was missing. Had no combat where he woulda died so maybe he just got too far. In any case, there were a few enemies in there that I swore I cleared out and a new/undiscovered room where my pawns were like "aught has changed since we were last here " The room they said it in had a big glowy barred door with a wrecked pillar in front of it. I wrote it off as cool glowy set piece bc I saw no way past it. Wondering if maybe later that cave has more to it? One near Harve

ImpAtom posted:You missed a couple things there. There's multiple people you can talk to, each of which gives more clues, and if you talk to them all the location you need to go to is flat-out marked on your map. Incorrect. It shows you where the start of the 'trail' is. You have to talk to all of them to get that.

Hah, just did the quest myself. Figured the boy must've bugged out, but then returned and got a location from a guard who DOESN'T want villagers to die. Also got "scammed" by Ibrahim the forgerer and didn't pay him enough which left me with like 0 G for a while. Game rules. Some quests definitely feel like the game's on the verge of breaking and don't provide enough info, but nothing actually broke and I feel like it's a recent playthrough of DD1 making me more paranoid than I need to be. My only real complaint is that seemingly destroyed bridges can be climbed down but not up? It just seems strange. Had a eureka moment when in that goblin cave that gives you underwear with good stats when I accidentally destroyed a bridge and discovered you could climb it down, but turns out none of them could be climbed up for some reason?

hey Goodchild did you fail to save the guy from the Dullahan? Because your pawn Morgan LeFay claimed he died after I succeed in doing it, mostly thanks to her leading me straight up a mountain so I could bypass a locked gate and get there in time. Nice to see that the pawns react to differences in choices/success of some missions.

The best quest so far was the forged gem one. Two people are after the same gem and you seemingly can only get it from a black market store so you have to know forgeries exist at that point and where to do them. Upon giving it to one of them the choice is something like "hand gem over (real one)", and you're likely to give it to a peasant and not the weird killer dude. So you're like ok, hint gotten, but if you do forge it the guy drags you to the forger to check it and you have to pay some insane fee to buy his silence which I couldn't even afford because it's just one bribery after another.

idk what exactly dragonplague will do (i dont want it spoiled) but it's making me paranoid. the only thing i know about it is that pawns keep talking about how it makes pawns more headstrong and confident but also a little too full of themselves, and unfortunately that is my pawn's entire personality so every time he says anything at all i'm concerned just a little bit

Also I'm pretty sure at least 1 of these is true A. Ps5 performance is better than some PCs folks are playing on, B. The city gets worse the more npcs you've interacted with or otherwise has some condition that triggers worse performance, C. Players are whiney babies, Because honestly even in the main city at night stuff hasn't seemed that bad. There's definitely a performance hit, and it seems to drop to 20-30 fps when the camera wheels around in certain directions, but I'm not seeing the sort of "this is unplayable or really bad on the eyes" I was expecting.

The thing is I absolutely have not progressed the main story at all. I'm not even deliberately putting it off, I just keep getting more random sidequests and being like "well I guess I can do this now". It's possible the timer was started by main story progression (i.e. I got to the city and that gave me like, an in-game month or whatever to find and deal with that sidequest), but I'm pretty confident it wasn't ended because of it.
