it's extremely weird how much of the snappy action feel they removed from DD1 when that was one of the best things about it. they added long uncancelable animations to everything archer does, made every bit of terrain vacuum you into traversal animations that take away your controls, and removed the core dodge skill while not giving any way out of an infinite stunlock from the first time you get hit, so you now handle more like a vehicle or a horror game protag now. I hope other classes feel better because basically every change from DD1 feels like a nerf so far

Deified Data posted:What time of day are you supposed to start following the homeless story teller guy, I can never catch him leaving late afternoon My shadow was around 5ish the last time I checked it before he walked away Clock tip: In the first game if you stand facing north your shadow will point roughly to the hour on a clock so you could figure out times from that. I think it works the same in this.

It feels really good when you finally get back to town after a long outing where your entire party is Heavy with loot and can deposit it all. Ended up just using my first fast travel crystal to return to the city instead of trying to make that journey back with everyone Heavy. During the outing I encountered a Minotaur and an Ogre. The former was trivially easy as an Archer. The only time it threatened me was with the easy to dodge charges. Just shot off its horns. Ogre was a little trickier since I missed dodging one of his jumps and it almost killed me. I also encountered some sort of dragon/wyvern fighting a gryphon. I did not fight them. Saurians have actually proven the biggest threat to my Archer so far, since they can often hit me with their spear even if I sprint away, and I don't think I have any "dodge sideways" or "block" options. Especially in enclosed areas where I can't just make space. Came very close to dying when one stun-locked me in a series of spear stabs. Hopefully this "enemies are more likely to target you" passive (plus the upgraded taunt) I just got for my pawn helps with stuff like that. I also got the thong pants lol. Every time my character climbs a ledge she flashes me (Archers flip when they climb some ledges, don't know if other vocations have that animatiom).

I'm not making it to the capital with my remaining 18 minutes, so I guess this is what I'm thinking about : I’ve got a fairly similar computer - an i7 that was brand new in 2020 and an 8gb 3070 - and it’s been like you describe in outdoor areas for the most part, I’ve fought some gryphons/ogres/a troll or something with no noticeable frame drops. The main city is pretty fuckin choppy at ~30 FPS but I think it feels so obvious because I’m so used to 120+ FPS in other games, but it’s not really impacting play in any meaningful way. Caves, waterfalls, etc have all also had no impact, really does just seem to be about the city

I've been playing Thief and you can cancel into the quickstep and it makes it feel very snappy - you can even do the "wail on an enemy until they wind up and then quickly quickstep out of there" like in Bloodborne. I wonder if they made the other classes a little more deliberate to make Thief the characteristically dexterous one.

Started up a game the other night. Thought this would be a great time to play my oc mage / warrior combo Asmodaxx and Axe Vendor. So I make them and run around for a bunch, get to a city, meet Brant , do a few of his quests then call it a night. Next day: I find out there’s no axe type weapons in this game. Unironic 0/10. Wth is this?

Some elf told me to teach him how to shoot a bow. Sure, I says. Out west past the mine. As I head there night falls, and while I'm looking to make camp a minotaur crashes out of the underbrush and one-shots two pawns and drat near kills me. After circling around to rescue the pawns and retreat a few miles down the road, we make camp and try again during the day. The minotaur is still there, and chases me another several miles down the road in the wrong direction from where I wanted to go. Monsters are fuckin' scary again, man.

i killed a cyclops in a ravine with some water in it and its corpse was high enough that i could climb it and then jump over the water to grab a ledge to climb out. the second i was in the air a random loving pawn drowning in the brine told me that she was attentive and cautious and would treat me with curatives as my character dropped like a rock into the brine beside her to listen traveling pawn ads are probably the main thing i dislike about the game so far outside of performance

I'm not making it to the capital with my remaining 18 minutes, so I guess this is what I'm thinking about : I've got a 3080 and ryzen 5600x and was getting 60 and higher in wilderness but dipping to 25-50 in city depending on turning or where and inconsistency is more annoying to me than any given framerate stable. I stuck it on 30 taking the hot on wilderness areas but I got up and got some water and came back and completely forgot it's "slower" now. Pretty stable 30fps in cities and extremely solid 30 everywhere else. I could probably turn things down and get somewhat better in cities at higher frame rate but I'd rather have max . As a bonus I can still have browser and whatever else open.

Really liking Battahl, even though all of the thieves around here are way too fuckin quick and evasive for my warrior. My pawns were eating poo poo constantly when I first arrived but they're holding their own now. I think switching the pawn from fighter to warrior helped a lot. They seem better at playing it. After making some decent progress in this game I do have some complaints. In DD1, there were a good number of bullshit quests. Talk to this person at this location at this very specific time. Slowly tail some dude through the city. Escort this child. Awkwardly sneak through the castle. Not really the stuff I'm here for. However, there were also plenty of quests that took you to interesting, unique locations to fight monsters. Check out the lightly-puzzled sunken lizard temple. Siege a goblin fort. Track down some cultists in an undead crypt. Find a witch in some spooky misty woods. DD2 only seems to have the former. Exclusively lame bullshit quests and zero neat, unique secondary spaces. You find caves scattered around occasionally, but they're just that: caves. Featureless, cramped caves. Every time. The overworld is great but I want to go into neat, different places, be they for a quest or otherwise. Hasn't happened.

warrior is fun and seems really strong now i've got a good weapon, thrashed the poo poo out of a griffon until it sorta suddenly disappeared into the sky, i guess it flew away but the culling made it vanish instantly or something has the internet figured out any good settings optimisation yet?

big nipples big life posted:late afternoon My shadow was around 5ish the last time I checked it before he walked away There's a clock in the pause menu. The circle around the little map acts as a clock that rotates counter-clockwise. When the sun is at the top it's mid day. I can't confirm this but it feels like NPC schedules run on quarter days, so for the beggar in question: Dawn to Midday: Telling stories in the main square Midday to dusk: At the bar in the slums Dusk to midnight: Not entirely sure if midnight is the cut-off but he has a house in the common quarter where he locks the door Midnight to Dawn: His house in the noble quarter More specific Beggar quest spoilers: I'm not sure how much you can sequence break it but you basically need to go to his house in the common quarter when he is at hi noble quarter house. This should be the only time his door is unlocked and you can grab his beggar clothes

Performance issues aside, this is everything I hoped it would be. I can't believe it exists. I'm slightly bummed that they moved away from the armor layer/clothing layer system, because I welcome having as much control over the design of my fantasy getup as I can get. But the outfits as designed are really great. He's only level 10 right now, but if any PS5 goons need a Thief please consider Charlie Bronson. I swear he's actually a quite pleasant fellow.

It definitely needs a performance patch (or three) but I did get good results from turning that texture memory setting way down from high to medium or so. Was able to turn on RT and go to FSR quality with few noticeable visual problems (5800x, 4070, 1440p) Getting 70-90 fps in the wild and laggy 40-50 in vernworth which is fine for now emdash fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Mar 23, 2024 |

Anyone have trouble with the Arisen's Shadow quest? I chased down the guy, refused the bribe, and killed him. I thought there'd be a quest update, but after looking it up online, it sounds like Brant was supposed to come in and stop the fight, except that never happened and he's lying dead on the ground now. Do I have to use a wakestone on him now to continue the quest?

Can't kill a good source of information. But if you did I would use a Wakestone, I've collected plenty anyways

Ugh, I beat a Gryphon but had to use a wakestone (my only one) because it one-shot me near the end. It only had like half of its final health bar left! The fight took forever, and I think it didn't help that my level 8 Mage pawn was underleveled (I immediately replaced him with a level 15 one afterwards, since that's my level). Is that Gryphon attack a scripted part of the quest where you deliver a letter to Melve via oxcart? Speaking of that quest, it had an hourglass in the quest log. I did it immediately because I wasn't sure if that meant it was timed (though from the description it doesn't seem like it should be timed, so the hourglass may have just been referring to the need to take the cart at a specific time).

There's a lot of people playing and if your pawn doesn't have a specific set of skills or isn't a specific level or isn't horny enough it can be slow going.

The majority of my hires have been from non-goons, but I think it's mostly due to my pawn being a conventionally attractive woman rather than exceptional stats. I'm slowly maxing out her equipment though, so I think by now she actually is pretty good for her level.

Anyone else here start a new character and had the same experience? I had a few random but mostly goons I think. When I run into those summoning stones that have a certain archetype, I've seen pawns with hundreds of likes already. Maybe just because they're higher level and a lot of people just love taking out a big bruiser? I saw one zone that had 5 different PhoenixSomethinf, like a whole family, Phoenix mother, Phoenix father, PhoenixDaughter. Almost makes me think someone is multi boxing the game to have matching pawns bc they all had the same armor or aesthetics.
