just so you know the game takes away most of your valuable plot items in NG+ except empowered godsbane, for some reason but it lets you keep the platinum card to wilhelmena's place (don't judge, the guy at the entrance sounded like he would sell useful things, he does not. curse you itsuno for making it seem like there may be something useful there)

There's actually two legit copies of Death Knell of Nations that I've found. Another is in the Waterfall Cave near the start of the game, guarded by a wight. Apparently there's also a second copy of Howling Blizzard too, since I have one but never had to trade for it. No idea where I picked that one up though.

Framerate around the capital is more stable now. I still get spikes when going into other sections but Im guessing thats it loading assets and other NPCs. What I'm guessing is that there wasn't any occlusion going on before? At least like some AI occlusion or something like that, I see NPCs pop up more frequently now and when they do there is a spike in cpu usage, but before it was like the entire thing was capped because the CPU couldng chug fast enough even when entering the cities outskirts.

It's the same place, the cave near the start of the game has a chest with Nation's Death Knell and Howling Blizzard, and opening the chest triggers a fight with a wight. I believe it's also the same place where you can encounter a chimera very early on, if you miss the cave you might not see one for a long time.

Look, I know there are extra copies. I have a guy in front of me saying he is doing the ceremony to keep undead away. He needs a copy of the book. I am gonna give him the fake copy and see what funny happens.

It's a pretty cool cave to have so close to the beginning, and would be a rude awakening if you decide to ignore the "travel to the capital" quest and go exploring at like level 3. Chimeras in DD2 seem tankier than they were in DD1.

Reive posted:I feel like I finished the first act of a three act story and the credits rolled, what the hell? I'm in post game now which is really cool but as far as main quest goes that was really weirdly paced, I felt like I spent more time doing all the stuff leading up to the coronation than like the rest of the game. the story is really amusing but it's honestly garbage. i haven't played the first one in a very long time but i remember it being much better. that might be because the recycled ideas felt a lot fresher when seeing them for the first time, idk if it was actually better.

Jack B Nimble posted:[*]Do I need to save any "valuables", like Jasper? For me personally, the answer is no. They are apparently used as upgrade materials occasionally, but I have never had to use them in that way (having upgraded various pieces of Warrior, Archer and Thief gear). If you do need them for that purpose, they won't be hard to find, and worst case scenario you can just put up a pawn quest and ask goons to complete it. My advice, just keep one or two of each in storage, and sell the rest.

Jack B Nimble posted:[*]Do I need to save any "valuables", like Jasper? I would keep at least one of each main valuable (jasper, onyx, and tiger eye) in storage just in case because I can confirm I needed to use a tiger eye to enhance some Magick Archer gear with Elven smithing. My guess is that since the item descriptions for these valuables tell you where they're rare it means that 1) you get more gold if you sell jasper in Battahl or tiger eyes in the Elven territory than you would elsewhere and 2) some upgrades to gear and/or weapons might need those valuables depending on the smithing type. Since I needed a tiger eye for Elven smithing I'd bet certain Battahli smithing upgrades need jasper and certain Vermundian smithing upgrades need onyx.

So after 50 hours of game time and like 7 visits to the border town I just realized there is an inkeeper and he's above the tavern. Never even noticed the stairs. gently caress me I'm a big dumbass. I just thought the map icon was wrong and the inn was on the Battahl side and screw you for not being able to cross.

This also applies to certain types of food, such as quinces which go for a lot in Vermond. Money is not enough of an issue that the average player would ever need to take that into account, but it is a nice touch.

yeah I rock that, the airward slash, shield bash, and usually gouging strike unless I need blink strike and it's a pretty complete kit. it's not quite as tough as warrior but it's a lot more agile and lightweight.

Most of the Steam reviews are due to performance issues and microtransactions. If your rig can run the game well enough and you ignore the MTX (it's very ignorable but there's a lot of it when you look at a list) there's a good game in there.

It’s a solid 7-8/10 depending on how well you can deal with the all the issues. Makes a really strong first impression too, but has many problems.

The bad reviews are mostly down to poor PC performance and microtransactions. The PC performance concerns are very valid, the MTX concerns much less so (they are no different to the typical minor examples you find in most modern PC games) If you have ever played any of the Monster Hunter games, that's kind of the same the same gameplay feel.

the truth of the mtx is you literally do not need a single thing they're selling, it's all available in normal play. the performance issues are real if your CPU is underpowered. the game rips though

To be fair like 25+ hours in a lot of it still feels pretty dull and basic but there's enough oddball stuff to keep me going, plus I like the vibe of setting out on a long journey, being on the road, having to camp, exploring nooks and crannies. Which I'm about to do, finally finished those lame "sneak into castle/jail" questlines and got permission to trek to the next zone. AcidCat fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Mar 29, 2024 |
