Got Archer to rank 8 and learned Lethality. That means it's Thief time! Really curious to see what this is like, since I haven't played any sort of melee yet.

Is it reasonable to max out every vocation before the game is over?

I currently have two maxed and three around rank 6, but that's with a lot more exploration than is strictly necessary to finish the game. I'd imagine getting everything maxed is more realistic in NG+.

warfarer apparently levels all of them up simultaneously, even if they're not equipped (but at a reduced rate) so once you unlock it just play the class you like but as a warfarer (don't equip Rearmament, just use your preferred weapon and four skills) and you'll slowly get everything maxed out if you're boring

Thief seems busted in every respect in a way that makes me kind of not want to play it. I still will but I'll save it for last probably.

Anyone else finding climbing monsters to be not really worth it compared to DD1? The main issue is that in the first game, your primary means of getting up there was to jump while grabbed on, which gave you a lot of vertical distance, at which point you'd grab again. Repeat as necessary. It was reasonably quick, felt good, and had a bit of a skill element to it. I have had no luck doing this in DD2 at all, so instead you have to sloooowly clamber up them with the incredibly awkward and unpredictable controls for doing so. It takes so much time that you're bound to get knocked off before you can get much done, not to mention how much stamina it takes to climb around for that long. Whatever extra damage you get out of this just doesn't seem worth it compared to hanging out on the ground using abilities that can hit high, or even just slicing at the ankles using whatever has the highest dps. Doesn't help that monsters seem like 50% taller this time around too. Jack Trades posted:Thief seems busted in every respect in a way that makes me kind of not want to play it. I refuse to use the spinny move because it's brokenly overpowered, just like I refused to use it on strider in DD1.

I'm finding it just as, if not more so, than in 1 on Spearhand or Thief. I've not tried it as a Fighter/Warrior but suspect their strengths are else where.

I still do it because it's usually safer than standing on the ground.

Dragoon jump on spear is just as good as it. I've only played the 2 classes and have been jumping on everythings back. The thief especially gets a move for targeting weak spots while climbing monsters.

The actual trick to mounting is that you can stand on top of the monster and attack them without holding onto them. Once you’re on them you only need to grab on again for any attacks that try to dismount you, otherwise stand in their shoulders/back and just smack em. When you’re regular attacking you get your stamina back. They basically made mounting a bit more interesting and involved, so getting into the monster is only half the battle.

People online really love lying about this game. I've seen posts saying this game has such little enemy variety they've cut out the zombies, ghosts, and other undead  One of those bastards got me good last night, I was walking down the road and didn't realize the fourth figure following me wasn't a pawn and, instead, was a zombie until it attacked me. Still no clue what happened to that pawn, either. I think he fell into the river with the ogre that jump-kicked himself into drowning.

I was wandering around a side path, it kept going, just so e lizards and a cyclops whatever. Find some treasure and it's really pretty, I spot like 6 or 7 rabbits all chillin in a circle, it's very Bambi. I take two steps towards them and suddenly it's raining and my guys are like "maybe we can move that boulder" which is code for "watch out! Boulders!" And then I'm attack by a minotaur, and literally the moment I kill it, a Chimera pops out of nowhere and attacks us. It seemed really intense, but really I'm literally invulnerable as Spearman and Garfield kept them all totally frozen. I ran out of wakeup juice eventually so we fell asleep twice but Chimera was usually slowed, frozen, or reeling from damage so survive pretty much unscathed! Sadly I've almost maxed spearman so it's time for another doing archer next since I just got some neat stuff for them. I think Spear and Thief are tied for busted classes, but maybe they're all this good lol.

Jack Trades posted:UHHHH...how do you use Portcrystals now? You use it from the inventory, then you should see it appear on the ground as a crystal. If you try to put in a bad spot it'll tell you you aren't allowed to use it there and return it to your inventory, but the Use option isn't greyed out or anything.

That first one is pretty useful for everyone, except Sorcerers I guess.

Finished the game last night, was fun though I think the endgame was a bit too easy because I had the holy daggers and everything in the endgame seems to have a weakness to it so I breezed through all the fights. Question about the new game plus: Is the game scaled to your level? Will the early biomes have the same basic enemies, or will I get the higher tier versions of each one?

Looking for the Vero Mine, and my Pawn goes "Oh yeah I know that one, follow me". Which logically means she leads me in through the top entrance, I become completely lost, and end up searching a bunch of other random caves before looking it up on a wiki and finding the entrance I was expected to go through. I had a blast.

Just popping in, how good is DD2 on PC specifically? I've seen a lot of chatter about microtransactions but it looks like the DMC5 genre of MTX (where it can give you a head start but mostly it's just things that you get naturally while playing) so not worried about that. Like, does it keep up the DD1 style of DMC-ish combat + SotC style climbing? Is the performance okay-ish and are there any PC-specific caveats? I'm itching to play but not sure if I wanna drop in early via a Fanatical deal or wait till a sale or something.

Ms Adequate posted:Took a quest to go with an oxcart back up to Melve and thought "Okay this'll be a milk run, back to the starter town? ez money" and a few minutes out of town a griffin screeches and swoops in like a loving Tomahawk missile to one-poo poo the cart and ox. We won the ensuing fight and I am here to assure you all that just barely clinging to the back of a griffin while it flies around trying to dodge lightning strikes and fireballs and making an attack run on your party is exactly as god drat See, I described the exact thing happening to me just a bit earlier, so I'm thinking it might be scripted? Or just some dumb luck. It was the first griffon I killed, one got away earlier, perhaps it was the same one? It was funny that the quest NPC didn't acknowledge this in any way when I returned, he just thanked me for protecting the cart. It was funny going back since it felt like the quests Lennart had were more like starter quests, giving you a tutorial to throw a pot etc. but I had not been back since leaving for the capital. Even tried to go and kill that first cyclops because I have a goon pawn who has a quest for it but it didn't spawn anymore. Trenchdeep posted:I've found that you kind of have to use terrain to get the height, or just bring their face down to you by punching their knees in. Is grabbing onto the enemies' legs and try to topple them actually a thing? The game seems to indicate it is, but even on my warrior, I have no idea if it's actually doing anything. Or does simply hitting their legs a lot count as stagger?
