It's kind of bad that both are called Inn. Just call the second one pub or something.

Presumably it's because your main pawn (or hired pawns) can get brined or otherwise lost and then you'd be out in the wilds without pawns or a camping kit.

Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense. But encumbrance is such a huge deal in this game, especially early on, that I still much prefer to keep my camping kit on my main pawn.

Everdread I guess you can be a guinea pig for this but I really wonder if that 10000g is going to get duplicated for everyone who took Ralsei out and killed an ogre or just the first person
it seemed like everybody got it, since each showed the mission being completed + 10k reward for 'em?

I wasn't super scrutinizing but it appears the single initial charge covered all of it, so I think it duplicates those rewards



I'm debating about putting up a portcrystal lol

fakeedit: actually you can't? the really primo stuff they must not let ya pawn-mission, no portcrystal or ferrystone (though you CAN put up the fake partcrystal and ferristone haha), no goldbugs, no sorc quest tomes, etc


BUT, it WILL let me put up an extra forager tome, so doing that for cyclops and seein' if it dupes a bunch out:

I can’t imagine doing the archer unlock really early, that sounds like a nightmare. I wandered my way there by accident and it was a real battle to get there. Fun though.

if you have a 40xx video card, this mod almost doubled my fps: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/39

So yesterday I didn't change anything but somehow, I went from about 40-50 FPS to 70 FPS in the wilds.

Installed this mod and I'm getting 100-120 FPS sometimes in the wilds. 60-70 FPS in Vernsworth, from like 30.

Insane jump in graphics quality from day 1.

My reasoning has been the same as yours, but maybe it's better to keep all the other stuff on the pawns especially as combining doesn't seem to care which inventory an item is in. Having to find a rift stone just to revive the main pawn seems like it would interrupt the flow quite a bit. But I'm very early in, barely anywhere, so don't know if that's a real concern.

I can only really comment as a thief main but man, it's such a good class. I would say ensnare/implicate to create openings for others and deal with flying enemies, helm splitter for large enemies, and powder blast because it's cool. Then the parry one, instant kill or something like that is really good. Or formless feint although that's a special skill. Makes you unhittable while draining stamina.

The fast slash to do anime cuts and get behind enemies or slice through several or get out of a dogpile. Double jump because you can't not have a double jump. I'm getting rid of gut n run bc it's too rare to activate on many enemies, but Spin Slash is my bread n butter for bosses. Never bought ensnare because I can just spin jump em.

So it sounds like camping gear is best carried on you, not your pawn.

No way. A camping kit pretty much puts me in very heavy. Even average is barely tolerable. Main person carries roburants and shuffles everything else away.

I thought I had heard there was an equipment load in addition to the carry load, but that doesn't seem to be the case? The inventory shuffle is kind of annoying and I'd have preferred a little more flexibility there with an equipment load.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

Really enjoying the game so far, just got to Bakbattal and swapped from Thief to Spearhand since I got Thief maxed out, and swapped Eggman from Fighter to Warrior since he maxed out Fighter. Think I might have him go Thief to get the strength boost and then double back to Warrior, though... not sure. Also, added Eggman to the spreadsheet. Please enjoy bringing him along! He's a big strong fella.

Here's our current outfits.

My resolution is correct, I haven't used the mod yet. I just remember way back down thread someone said that there was some fix that enabled dlss but it made the HUD look like dog poo poo because it wasn't properly implemented.

Nope. You might have a red hue to the image but once you turn on reflex it goes away.

they can, but your stash is refrigerated so just stuff em in there

The stash not decaying threw me off, since combining materials seems to be much more valuable in this game. I was just munching greenwarish, then discovered it combines with fruit for a salubrious brew. Never realized that fruit would mature because it never sat in my inventory, I always stored it, but two ripened fruits make dried fruit which combines with greenwarish for roberant which is a way bigger heal. Same with fish for roe roberant and harspuds for harspud roberant.

Related, getting mad at the logistician pawn I hired; they grab all the fruit and greenwarish and make brews before the fruit ripens!

If you have a 40xx card, the mod just unlocks functionality already in the game's to do DLSS 3 frame interpolation. HUD should be fine - "should" because I haven't tried it. But there are reports of crashes on some systems being why Capcom disabled it in the first place.

That mod can also be used with other mods to enable frame interpolation on 20xx/30xx cards with AMDs FSR3 as well. The HUD supposedly goes to a blurry mess if you do this. I tried this briefly, had crashes and immediately backed out.

I've gone back to DLSS 2 on my 3070 Ti laptop, which gets a pretty solid 60 fps in the wilderness anyways.

One easy observation: High setting nearby shadows with DLSS show flicker. Setting shadow quality to Max removes that flicker but chew up way too much fps to be worth it.

Shadow flicker problems go away with FSR3, even on High. In general FSR3 seemed way less blurry than DLSS 2 even on a NVidia 30xx card.

I don’t know if this will have story consequences down the road or if it’ll actually do anything but when I was in the castle the queen was just like in her chamber talking to me so I killed her maybe?

it's the parental controls option, a pawn's moniker is basically the "please don't let my kid see someone named Arse Eater out in the wild" alternative
