I think it does a bit of knockdown damage, but I mostly mean strike attacks, and with fighter specifically it felt like shield pummel worked really well. I feel like I've definitely toppled a cyclops by jumping on it when it was wobbling, but maybe my pawn tripped it at the same time. Also, ricochet hunter in an enclosed room is incredibly busted. I know it's been said before, but you really have to experience it yourself.

Vargs posted: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. It's been easier to just knock some big enemies over from the ground, so climbing hasn't always been necessary. In situations like grabbing onto a drake or griffin, having a shortcut to take stamina items makes holding onto them a lot easier while they fly around, and it's especially useful as a Fighter using Gouging Skewer to rapidly stab them again and again while holding on. I've put the launching/lifting abilities on my main pawn to see if they'll help me climb up faster, and also practiced the distance getting my pawns up onto enemies, but there are like 5 or 6 classes who can do most of their damage without even needing to make physical contact.

They like to get stuck on a tiny ledge and just flip back and forth until I realize they're like three halls behind us, run back and throw them out of the ledge they're stuck on.

Think I'll come back to this game later. After getting g to the desert area and being wowed by the new view every 5 steps is just alternate goblins and harpies and honestly the trash mobs in this are kinda boring to fight after a while

Maybe. The rest is basically just filler. Sometimes with really cool stuff in it, but filler.

Then, finally, when you beat the game You fought grim goblins, wargs and succubi Dragon's dogma is really bad about enemy variety.

It's a bunch of little things and not just the enemy variety. Stuff like performance, crashing randomly in vermund, the frequency of trash mob encounters, controls feeling sluggish for traversal, quests being kinda dull. I'll just come back to it later, I think I just need to play something else.

personally i've bounced off the game hard, there's so much that's just a nonsensical step back from the first game. the general combat is slightly better (with warriors having the biggest glowup) with the exception of the camera being poo poo, and graphically it looks a lot better. but everything else around the game is worse. i cannot begin to describe how disappointing the caster vocations in dd2 are which is what i primarily played.

AndrewP posted:the limited fast travel is starting to wear on me I have my main pawn carry my camping kit and any materials I happened to pick up. You can still use a camping kit so long as one of the pawns in your party is carrying it. The easiest way to deal with inventory management is to have the pawns in your party carry anything they can't actually use (combinable materials, etc.) unless they have the chiurgeon specialization or whatever and you want them to have healing items onhand. Treat them like pack mules and you'll never be at risk of over-encumbrance. As far as I know this still works like DD1 where another player's pawn will automatically send anything they picked up in your game to your inventory when you dismiss them or they die.

Quick question for those who understand the game's mechanics better than I do - for bows, would you recommend the Battahl or Dwarven smithing styles? The former gives a somewhat higher damage boost, but the latter really boosts your Knockdown by a lot. That seems really useful, I'm leaning towards Dwarven for this reason.

AndrewP posted:if I ever find a pawn that has a "packmule" specialization he's getting hired on the spot, I don't care how much RC it costs me Found this guy walking around yesterday:  Hawkers are pawns that you can sell your items to, which does actually seem really useful. Maybe keep an eye out for that specialization in the Rift, although there probably aren't many around your level.

You know what, Forager is less useful than I thought it would be on my pawn. I go over to where there are supposedly Spurious Wings on the map, but all I see is these Gore Harpies instead of Succubi with their baps out. I come back at night, still no luck. Where the gently caress are these Succubi? I still haven't seen a single one. I don't know if it's because my pawn learned it from another Arisen who was in a different stage of the main quest or something, but it makes Forager kind of annoying and unreliable. I might switch her over to Hawker, there is probably a niche for that.

Any idea what's up with the Ancestral Chamber in the Elf area? There's a corridor which is blocked by a one way door you need to open from the other side, but the other entrance is on a cliff with a kick down ladder that looks like it's actually an exit? Looked around for a fourth entrance but can't see anything. I've done the quest there and found the third entrance/exit if that matters.

I'd like to play the archer more but what's putting me off is that you have to buy the special arrows. It kinda creates a feeling of "do I really need to use this outside of boss battle" and if I don't, then I have two skills to use in regular combat (currently dire shot and upgraded barrage). Maybe that's it. I also can't seem to pull off the special jump backflip attack, my guy just does a high kick like in Mortal Kombat instead of the backflip if I press Y/Triangle.

It's what worked for me. I have no idea what the "correct" way to get in there is but going through it opens up a shortcut between the forest and the Melve area.

I've been able to craft all the arrows I need and more just by picking up flowers and branches (and turning rotted food into lantern oil). You'll only run out if you go really nuts with specialty shots. The kick flip shot is cool as heck when it works, but the over the shoulder camera angle can sometimes make it hard to judge your distance to the target. If you don't actually hit them with the running jump kick, you can't back flip off them after all. And it does have to be a running jump kick, not just the thrust kick you do from pressing triangle by itself.

I think once you switch to archer and equip a special arrow skill you start to find those types of arrows as loot more often. At least it seemed like that for me. Also the backflip kick is pretty good, but the sliding shot is also particularly gross (attack while sprinting).
