Trysha needs the real copies since she is actually using them. Myrrdin is just being a pompous dick so forgeries are fine

He also have a poo poo load of health. Put your pawns on wait and pick them up and put them closer to the door, I found success doing that

So I was on an ox cart that was ambushed and Im slashing away madly and then realized I was attacking a guard, they were somehow all targetable, which hadnt happened before, I dont recall ever having to worry about friendly fire with allies around.

Which vocations is it the most OK to have higher weight load on? Googling this just keeps bringing up people asking about character weight, rather than inventory/equipment. Maybe Warrior/Fighter or the magic ones due to less need for quick movement?

Is there seriously no system for layering clothing and armor? What the gently caress? That's a gigantic step back from DD1 and I'd love to know the justification for it. I really enjoyed making a unique look for my Arisen and pawn (and it gave you more items to get Dragonforged). This really loving sucks.

Some high level goons added me on the ps5 today. Are there any cons to summoning their pawns when there's more than a 10 level difference between us? Will I still get the same amount of exp? If anyone else wants to be friends on ps, my username is u-Kefa btw

gently caress this game's save system. Second time in a couple of days where "Load from Last Save" is completely missing and it only gives me the option to "Load from Last Inn Rest" which deletes your autosave anyway. Because of it happening the first time, I had made sure to save and quit to title screen then quitting the game using the menu once I saw that Load from Last Save was visible.

could anyone do me a big favor and hire my pawn and gift a pointed fang? 06IFOTXMRSSI (pawn quest is 10k for a waking powder so feel free to grab that) I can't seem to find a source for 'em dropping after looking quite a bit, random guides say it should be from wargs in Battahl but they seem to spawn as garms for me and only give sinister fangs, dunno if that's a level'd thing or wrong info and there's a better place to get 'em it'd be really nice if 'reward' was visible in the pawn search menus (among other info), going through a big group individually to check is a pain haha

johnny park posted:Gotta disagree. If anything the relentless encounters drain the believability of the world - how does trade between Battahl and Vermund function when you're accosted by saurians/goblins/bandits every two minutes? If they wanted to provide life to the world while maintaining a sense of danger, they should have had strong city guard patrol groups walk the roads and independently keep them clear during the day, or maybe mercenary groups that charge travelers tolls. Then a player could attack the patrols for loot at the risk of making the road less safe for themselves in the future. That would be interesting and dynamic and believable. Right now it's just tedious Tarezax posted:Also there's a bunch of random adventuring parties you can encounter in the wilderness that seem more than capable of handling the smaller monsters out there. I've also seen traveling peddlers out there with armed guards, though not all of them seem to have escorts. Yeah I've seen a bunch of 4 person groups walking around, as well as people buying/selling on the road. There are also individuals already in fights who might be about to lose (some of them are pawns I've ended up hiring), and others looking for escorts. The roads seem pretty busy and people display vague goals, a lot of them will just tell you to go away which I think is a realistic detail. Propaganda Hour posted:You mean you don't like fighting packs of slightly redder wolves in Battahl? Or slightly greyer hob-goblins? Or slightly larger harpies? Yeah I went into a cave where one of my Pawns said something about spiders which got me pumped up, but they were about the size of my foot which was like...oh  I've also seen things that look like blood sucking leeches hopping around.In the first game tiny enemies like that could give you toxin status, which from memory was a DoT like poison, but was incurable without items (poison would diminish on its own over time). Deformed Church posted:The problem with trash mobs every few steps is that they're just fundamentally not fun or interesting or compelling. Saurians and goblins and bandits haven't made me feel like the world is actively dangerous since about hour 5, because I can kill whole groups in one or two spells and my pawns slap the rest to death (or just stand around staring at gently caress all while I do the work, so I guess the trash mobs do expose the dodgy AI). They don't drop interesting loot at this stage, they offer no reason (or really opportunity) to play with the game's more fun combat mechanics, and they don't really add to the narrative or feeling of the world because they say and do nothing except double the length of every trip because I have to stop and cast high salamander twice. I have a similar issue but the other way around, where I am the max vocation Warrior but my mage and sorc pawns are killing the Saurians before I can even finish charging up a swing. The smaller enemies like goblins also move around quickly enough that they'll be out of range. It seems like my role is more about knocking stronger enemies off balance or just drawing aggro and tanking damage without a shield. LibbyM posted:Enemies definitely stopped being a threat really early on. I've been doing every side quest so I'm sure I'm over leveled for the part of the world I'm in, but I don't even think about night or day anymore, I just charge out into the wilderness do to whatever quest I have because who cares. don't even bother with a lantern since I'm just sticking on the path 95% of the time anyway, and its not like suddenly stumbling into melee range with a skeleton is really a threat. I go out during the day just because I like to see more of the world around me, but I guess undead enemies drop unique materials and some quests only happen at night. As others have said the lack of enemy scaling becomes very noticeable. neosloth posted:Yeah I think between the pawns and the oracle figuring out what to do isn't too bad. But some of the quests are obtuse and I'd just look them up. It's very weird that some of them specifically require you to 'grab' a thing or person to advance to the next step instead of pressing the 'interact' button.

Is there any way to manually change your pawn quest? Mine's set to give out potatoes because my inventory was like, barren at the time when it asked and no one seems to have managed to kill a cyclops with my pawn. Lots of horror stories of my pawn watching people die to chimera though. She just comes back telling me about how many bodies have piled up, it's getting kind of weird. I think she's in cahoots with the chimera.

I'm confused about giving gifts. How do you do it? I want to give gifts to me darlings Wilhelmina and Ulrika. And maybe the elf guy, he seems to like me. Also, I think I missed the quest where the dragon attacks melve and stuff happens with ulrika. Anyone know how to activate that? Or maybe I moved too far along in the main story before returning there/already got the vocation associated with that one? ACES CURE PLANES posted:Saw this screencap posted and man, this game is becoming a meltdown enabler from like a billion different angles huh. Yeah the house barely does poo poo, I hardly ever go there. Barely worth twenty grand. And ten thousand is literally nothing in this game, I have like two hundred grand on me at all times. I've never not had a ferry stone when I needed one, and with the oxcarts it's actually way more giving than the first one in terms of fast travel. It's hilarious when you realize that the vast majority of these people have never played the game. It's fine to not like it though, devote hours of your time to crying about it online if you want, I'm just gonna enjoy playing it until I'm not enjoying it any more and then I'm gonna stop playing it.

Sterling absolutely loving hates MTX and does not consider there to be any legitimate reasons to have them or excuses that exculpate them, like, ever. I could 100% believe she has played the poo poo out of the game and it has not changed what she says about this aspect of it one bit. Not saying she has mind you, just that I'm quite confident in saying that playing the game wouldn't change her stance on how they're implemented or that they're there at all.

No idea who that is but I was talking about the middle post claiming that ferry stones costing ten k was absurdly overpriced. I'm not a fan of micro transactions obviously, but when it doesn't even figure the slightest amount into me playing the game I find the whinging about it to be pretty ridiculous. It's fully optional and unnecessary and doesn't provide any advantage over other players since it's a single player game. If some people want a very very slight shortcut they can go for it, and further support a type of game I really like and want to see more of. I hope they do, to be honest. Games take a lot of money to make these days. And if she was a true hardliner you'd think she could just do without playing the game at all? You don't have to buy the game or the other stuff, in fact probably better not to if you really want to make a point. It's a lot like the stuff in Helldivers 2. Extremely mild and optimal but if you want to pay and help make the game more of a success that's fine too. Like this one, that one got review bombed as well but has probably recovered already because everyone realized it's a great game.

I think helldivers was a different situation because everyone loved the game itself, so it was easier for complaints about the monetization to be deflected with "none of that poo poo matters, this game is fun as hell and you need to come play with us" where people had friends shouting at them to come play together if they could just log in. with DD2 I would still say "none of that poo poo matters" but there's fewer people saying the second part. also, HD2 costs $40 USD and DD2 costs $70. expectations are higher and it’s a lot harder for players to ignore extra monetization when $70 is already viewed as too high for new games.

Personally speaking, I think it's just a transparent bid to join the culture war that grew up around this game for weird and seemingly arbitrary reasons. Basically every modern capcom game since DMC5 at least has had pretty much this exact style of "you can buy a pitiful amount of in-game items that you'll be able to earn within an hour of play" microtransactions. RE2 and 4 Remakes sell "deluxe weapons" and basically every RE game has costumes or "unlock everything" DLC too. But there wasn't a massive internet shitstorm over those. RE4 has roughly $100 in DLC if you don't count Separate Ways. But for some reason the internet has chosen this game, specifically, to flip out over. And it's kind of just an ongoing meltdown that began with people losing their minds over the character creator demo being "woke" because the exact same people who were going insane over that immediately pivoted to saying the game was broken, literally unplayable, and paywalled fast travel and character customization and all that other poo poo within hours of the early release and streams.

There's a much better mod now for adjusting the difficulty. https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/195?tab=description I still wonder what the "dynamic difficulty" they talked about supposed to be.

Where the game makes encounters easier every time you die, but doesn't have anything to scale the difficulty in the other direction.
