LibbyM posted:my pawn is also not getting hired very often, but she's a healer support mage which I'm betting is also a pretty high number of the pawns that people made for themselves to begin with, so people aren't looking for a second. Might try respecing her into a frontline tank or something. I'm always looking for that specific pawn type. The main thing that usually prevents me from hiring a pawn is either "not having a pawn quest I'm interested in" or "not having good stats/skills." The Cheshire Cat posted:Yeah there's nothing specifically scripted for that quest, it's just that oxcart rides get interrupted by monster attacks a lot. Funnily, that quest is the only time I've had an oxcart ride be interrupted by a large enemy. All the other times it's just been goblins/harpies. And I take oxcarts pretty frequently, probably almost 10 times now.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:I think the real culprit is "Must have quest knowledge" checked by default, so if you're playing slower your pawn is higher level and costs people RC, and he straight up doesn't show up for people higher level who are farther ahead because he doesn't know anything about that stage of the game. This makes sense, I’ve mostly done random open world instead of focusing on any quests so he probably gets filtered out of every search I always uncheck that before searching because I don’t really care whether they have knowledge for a quest I won’t get to before I do another 8 hours of random caves

Looking at some quest information online and I'm a bit sad at how many I seem to have missed. Phlegmish posted:[wiping away tears] It's fine I don't care, I don't even want her to get hired I would say closer to forty would be better. Or at least, I killed my first drake around level 36 or so. And it was a tough fight that left me with very little useable health bar. It's hard to avoid getting damaged, heck it's hard to tell where the next damage is coming from E: might have quoted the wrong post lol TastyAvocado posted:You're very close to the end of the main quest. There are multiple endings though and one has a post game. Thanks a lot for answering my question! explosivo posted:Not sure where/if you can buy them but I've found at least 3-4 bundles of flowers randomly looting homes and stuff. Usually set up in a vase with the glowy "This thing can be picked up" indicator on it. I have plenty, I'm more concerned about what to do with them. I want to give them to Wilhelmina MeatwadIsGod posted:Guess I'll be broke for awhile because drakes have kicked my rear end on the rare occasions I've tried to fight them. I'm like level 32 or so now, maybe it'll go better next time. I should probably sell off some monster materials (at least ones I have a lot of) but my hoarder brain makes me obssess over whether or not I'll need them for upgrades later on. They won't make you tons of money, but definitely sell off any materials above twenty. Very unlikely you'll need more than that, especially for low level materials. You can also sell jewels. Clocks posted:Also, I highly recommend trying to go mageless at least a few times before deciding you absolutely need a mage. If you're good at not getting hit often then you will need a mage far less often than you'd think. Chirurgeon pawns can heal others if they have curatives in their inventory and pawns will heal themselves if they have curatives. You probably have a stockpile of salubrious draughts or roborants that you can give to your buddies if you see them having a hard time. A lot of people have said this, for me I've received those tomes completely randomly, someone just walks up to me, steals the camera, and gives them to me while I was hanging out in the main city. Can't remember if those people were involved in certain quests but I assume so, that's how it went for me. jokes posted:How do you people get RC? People aren't summoning my guy too much and I'd sure like to buy the thing that lets me doa a makeover. I'm not sure but I ended up with a ton of it. You get it from people using your pawn, you can get it from chests I know, and maybe when your complete pawn missions?

Sloober posted:love dozing off to wake up to an cyclops club smashing the wagon to bits I killed an Ogre a couple hours ago and noticed that it dropped the club it was wielding. The thing is massive. Probably the length of one and a half standard pawns. Something I like about this game is the density of the world. Me and my cousin have been playing while chatting on discord and he’s run into quests that I never came across in the starting areas. Last night he was heartbroken about some quest, he hosed up, involving learning magic and now I can’t wait to discover that particular area and one up him. Sometimes I forget how competitive single player games were in the 90s before the internet introduced walkthroughs to the general public.

If you have a red pawn, fighters seem to get summoned a lot more than warriors. I guess everyone turns their pawn into a warrior when they can, so there's a lack of fighters on higher levels. And fighters probably complement a group better as well, so they're easier to fit.

I've been experimenting with lots of different pawns to be honest. Sometimes I'll grab those random ones off the road! (The only thing I won't do is scab with CAPCOM pawns. Those pawns will never get upgraded by their owner, their owner will never see you leave a gift for them, etc, which takes away the magic of pawns in my opinion. Too bad because I had a broken rift pop one up that was like +6 levels for free but no thanks, game!!) I've found mages to be questionable in efficacy sometimes, but it could be because I'm on the front lines so they're not as noticeable. Maybe I should be making use of the "to me" command more often so that they will actually plop hastes on me and not the other ranged buddies. I will say they are good for keeping health up in general if nothing else, but I've done fine with mage-less parties. Same with sorc pawns - when they get a big cast off it looks amazing, but sometimes I'll be doing a whole battle and it feels like they're probably getting dicked around or something in the background and not being very effective. I did walk around with a warrior pawn who pulled off a charge move that took of an entire health bar of a big monster though which was memorable and cemented that pawn as pretty dope though. Archers can be pretty powerful especially if they have the explosive shot one and you give them the proper arrows, but I don't think they come with their own arrows. That's too bad because I'd definitely be willing to outfit mine with them and send her off so people don't have to do inventory juggling if it were an option. I switched my own pawn to thief and she's pretty self-sufficient, but I'm also biased because she's my lovable doofus.  edit: reading over the last paragraph it feels like the most memorable are the big flashy moves that do a lot of damage lol. But that doesn't mean they're not doing stuff in the background. I imagine people playing any of the ranged vocations might have a better view of how their pawns are actually faring.

I'm giving out 3400 gold Ogre bounty and I haven't had one taker. Not one. I was thinking about switching Conan from Warrior to Fighter just to get those sweet passives, even though it's not really on theme. I guess I'll do it if he'll still get hired. Having him in full barbarian regalia feels great, though.

Owl Inspector posted:My assumption was that the book was a general friendship reward from her and that getting it from doing her quest is incidental (just adds enough friendship points that it puts her over the gift threshold) but I guess I don’t actually know that. I see. That sounds plausible, except NPCs start to exaggeratedly blush as you raise their affinity, and I don't think that was the case for her. I kind of dislike the blushing, because it's so over the top + my Daphne is like this now because I needed that Forager's Tome, and she's a little girl. I am never talking to her again lest the guardsmen come and arrest me

I was doing A Trial of Archery with Glyndwr and what kept tripping me in the final part was that I kept trying to pick up the father, and did not see the sister lying in the ground... was wondering why she kept escaping me. All elves look the same with my graphic settings! It was a fun quest, put the portcrystal in Sacred Arbor to save on some travel time if I want to go back. Although I only got two ferrystones left after returning to the capital. I'm thinking whether to just buy ferrystones whenever the sundries shop has them and just try and find armor and weapons in the wild?

In fact I figured all the scantily clad stuff was there in DesertLand, so I snuck over the border at level 18 and blew all my money making Conan look fab. Was a hell of an experience because, as you know, there ain't no Portcrystal there and there's no maps or inns, so I just followed the big road and hoped for the best! On to the next area before I fall too behind the curve. TeaJay posted:What level is he?

I haven't been using ferrystones too often so I have like 10 stacked up, lol. I do regret where I placed one of my two portcrystals, so I guess I'll port to it to collect it at some point. Also the thief plunder skill will occasionally yield ferrystones & wakestones off big boss monsters. (It's quirky but I gave that skill to my pawn, lol, I feel like as a thief they're kind of doing their own thing half the time so she may as well steal some rotten fish off sauren while she's at it.) Here's a question - I'm a bit "ahead of the curve" and I also tend to only hire pawns that are +0-2 levels of me, so none of them are overly more adventured than I am. Do pawns lead you to seeker's tokens ever, or is it only ever "aught catches the light" for you to discover for yourself? They always have a "oh I'll have to tell my master about this" dialogue when I collect the tokens so I don't know if it's like chests/riftstones where they can lead you to one or if it's just a dialogue bark. (I got the reward daggers which glow green when there's a chest nearby which is really funny to me. I wonder if it works if I stick them on my pawn?)

I've really liked my 18 hours as a mage/sorc, I wish there were more spells or spell slots or some other avenues for power gain beyond leveling up, weapon upgrades and rings but what can you do. The spells you do get look impressive and feel fun to use. Playing the squishy caster as the party leader feels a little perilous because sending your pawns down ladders doesn't really work so you end up jumping in, getting knocked around and hoping your pawns make it in time so you can climb back up to nuke the downstairs from safety. You also miss out on the fun grappling/climbing mechanics of combat, and other classes seem to have more powerful environmental traversal tools than levitate, but I'll just enjoy raining death from the backline and running circles around enraged monsters for now. Leaves room for a second playthrough. Overall this game really scratches my specific itch of a third-person open world fantasy adventure where you get to grow to a powerful spellcaster and I don't think any other game comes close, even if the magic in DD2 isn't super fleshed out either.

I somehow got double escort quests for this little short old dude with a terrible haircut and droopy "moustache rides" style handlebar. I escorted him twice and at the end of the second mission he was all red-faced and "thank you yer Majesty" and I realized that I was getting signals from the game that I had just maxed out affinity with this old dude. That's fine, I was also working an angle with Captain Brandt, hopefully this will straighten itself out. Later I'm at the Inn and see the little dude, I hail him and he starts ranting about what garbage the beastren are! I had accidently friend-zoned a racist old MVGA guy. Fuckin' Dragon's Dogma, man!

It's helpful that escort mission NPCs will join you on oxcart trips, so if the far away place they want to go is close to one of the oxcart hubs you can just fast travel. I assume ferrystones bring escorted characters along too like in DD1.
