Happy Noodle Boy posted:Only thing I’m still wrapping my head around is inventory. I’m scooping up everything I see without knowing how useful it may be then I get overburdened so I pass things to my pawn then she gets overburdened and I don’t want to sell poo poo because hey I may need it later. There’s a lot of crafting to figure out too. Innkeepers have storage you can dump stuff into, and it's a shared storage between every innkeeper.

Little bummed to hear the advanced classes are sorta underwhelming, I apparently picked the most OP class (thief) from the start so I'm not really looking forward to changing it up for something that kinda sucks comparatively. I wish I could assign those classes to pawns, that might be more interesting.

Also you never need to keep upgrade materials on your person (except in rare cases when it's part of a quest). Like in DD1 if you want to upgrade armor or weapons the armorer/blacksmith can just pull the upgrade materials directly from your storage. I've liked Mystic Spearhand so far but I feel like making the most of it would take more skill and practice than I've done so far for any other vocation. Seems like you would need a good sense of the max range of your Blue Rose charged ability plus there's the timing/situational awareness of when to use the teleport or the arc ability that stuns a group. Also one of the skills is a loving God Hand move so it's automatically good. It seems more demanding than the other melee classes if you wanna be stylish.

I think that Trickster might actually be the most powerful class, it's just weird and unintuitive, maybe slightly boring compared to the others. EDIT: Forget all the janky stuff. You need only two abilities. The damage buff and the maister skill. Then, get yourself some DPS pawns and you're set to take on any boss, really really fast.

I've been digging spearhand specifically for the utility it has in saving my team from getting slapped by big hitters, you can basically sustain the shield indefinitely if you focus on normals, with occasional slowing bolts thrown in. Especially great for keeping drake meteors from wiping out half my team.

I'm never loving hiring a Mage Pawn with Frigor or Succor ever again. I hired one that has both and she spends every combat encounter either obscuring my vision or doing loving nothing because she's trying to channel Succor and getting interrupted.

I could use skills but the sustain isn't quite there for longer fights. Once I get the passives for skill usage down and regen up though, I'm totally expecting to just tear through with it while having an invincible squad.

I was riding the oxcart and got ambushed by a cyclops. Well during the fight the oxcart got turned over, but managed to not get destroyed. This distinguishes it from a previous incident where I was playing warrior and charging my big upward slash move, and the oxcart ran into me and promptly exploded into a million pieces when I release the charge. I figured I was probably screwed, but I walked over and there was a button to "Aid Oxcart", which set it right and re-attached the ox. Cool! Except the cart won't move because we're in a narrow canyon and there's a giant corpse directly in front of it, and apparently I can't doze off to skip past that. Enjoying the game but I wish there was some more enemy variety.

Bussamove posted:That person is egregious because it’s obvious from her language she hasn’t played the game and is engaging in bad faith arguments she half-remembers. Framing it as “a single fast travel item costs half as much as a house!” gets way more traction than “both the house and fast travel items are dirt cheap, also they’re everywhere if you look around”. Context ruins the righteous indignation. Stephanie Sterling has a great video that lays into predatory mobile game devs but going all the way back to her stuff on Destructoid like 20 years ago, she's always been a contrarian/bad take/outrage writer and her output was 90% dog poo poo takes. Her and Robert Summa were two of the worst writers they had and it was those two that made me start getting most of my game reviews from something awful

I'm actually kinda annoyed that there's basically no endgame. It means that once you hit the end, probably around level 50-55, you're basically done. There's nothing to work towards, and no point in trying to upgrade your gear, because there's not much challenge in the final stretch of the game, and there is, as far as I can tell, nothing new added for NG+. If the max level is 200, that's a lot of wasted potential. I'm guessing this might get "fixed" with a BBI/Dark Arisen type DLC down the line, but as of right now, it's pretty disappointing.

Same, I went through this terrifying windswept mountain pass full of minotaurs and chimeras before emerging into the sunny mesas of the desert, figured I'd go all the way to the capital since I was there. It was a fun trip I guess, but not putting a portcrystal in a major city like that sure is a choice.

If the max level is 200, that's a lot of wasted potential. this is just a very funny aside but you can search for level 999 pawns in the pawn search. and yeah agreed. if i play NG+ i'm planning on at least dumbing my equipment down to a level where i'm not one shotting quite as many things, its difficult tho since i think i have a base 300 or something atk at this point, and i dont want to neuter my pawn in case people want to hire her.

I just got to Bakbutthal for the first time and the very first thing I did was ditch Mystic Spearhand as fast as I possibly could, because holy poo poo was that vocation annoying to play. I switched to a level 1 Trickster, because I just unlocked it and went to the inn to sleep. People who've been to Bakbatthal can guess what happened next.

Also, with the new difficulty mod I'm using I actually had to use my healing consumables for the first time, which made me realize that they actually DID nerf healing potion spam from the first game by virtue of making you lose Max HP on every hit. You can still effortlessly avoid death as many times as you have potions, but that's still much better than how it worked in DD1.

Boo, I can't give the quest books as rewards for pawn quests. I'll have to find some other item to bribe people into using my pawn. On the upside: both book quests done now. Well, mostly, I still have the follow up to do, but the actual book bits are done. Does anyone know what the turquoise ring is used for? do I give it to the girl's dad or something?
