Volte posted:My guess is it would give those pawns too much of an advantage in the marketplace, since for someone who has already maxed out their capacity, it would be a reward that costs them basically nothing to offer, but would be one of the most valuable things to look for when hiring. More likely it's so people can't easily print infinite beetles, since a pawn quest can be completed by multiple people, so you only need a few doing each others quests to manifest them out of thin air.

Jack B Nimble posted:I have another question/compliant: I double checked that the pawns I hired had "Quest Guide: NO", and here this rear end in a top hat is, pestering me about leading the way. Is that trait on a quest-by-quest basis? I'm going to dismiss this rear end in a top hat ASAP and grab the first person I see on the road. It's on a quest by quest basis, basically whatever your active quest is when recruiting the pawn is what's checked against for if they count as a quest guide.

wtf sphinx trial of madness I put 'my beloved' on the platform, but they stepped off. Sphinx asks for confirmation so I answer 'no' because I'm concerned it won't register properly, but she treats it like I'm just loving with her, and she tells me she doesn't like me wasting her time and I fail the trial.

So uuuh has anyone ever encountered a pawn that would use Blades of the Pyre with any kind of restraint? It seems like any pawn that has it will burn themselves into a half black healthbar after a few goblin packs.

In NG+ I just had a wandering pawn say "I knew you loved this world too much to leave it behind." Is that new to NG+?Double Bill posted:
In my case I was aware and just wanted to do it in the ng+. But it actually does make it sort of obvious. The ghost guy during the credits part is pretty conspicuous (and obviously visible once you sit on the throne) and I think most people would seek him out.

Is it actually worthwhile to level classes just for augments? My archer is level 5, and I'd get the weak point extra damage augment at level 8... but I'm not really feeling archer in general. I've maxed warrior and have mystic spearhand at 8. Basically I know I need the archer for the sphinx fight but other than that am I wasting my time trying to grind for that augment?

Yeah, the NG+ experience is very weird. There's an entire new system unlocked at the Dragonforged that is completely irrelevant, because you outscaled everything in the wild 20-30 levels and a few tiers of gear ago.

I tried to fight The Sphinx but I failed, I wonder if that was because I forgot to take off the debuff ring? I shot her a lot but she just took off anyway. Sucks because now I can't do anything about the final chest? e: after reading about it a bit people are saying you need to hit her wings to actually trigger the fight. Well that is kinda ... precise. I have an inn save right before that one, so I'll see if I can trigger it properly TeaJay fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Mar 30, 2024 |

It took me wayyyy too drat long to get my pawn learn how to speak elvish. Apparently it’s completely random which NPCs will give you the tome, which NPCs will give you something else entirely, and which ones will just give you nothing at all. Way more of a confusing process than it should be.

Huh, so if you complete "Short-sighted ambitions" by giving him a forgery of the tome he's looking for, it gives you a "good" end to the quest. Additionally, he actually sells you the first volume afterwards. Any idea what I can do with them? Edit: Oh, you just combine them to This kind of disappointing.

(end sphinx spoilers) You just have to attack her multiple times to get her to pay attention to you before she flies off, which is most easily done with a ranged weapon. I don't know that it has to specifically be the wings. And then you can use the arrow she conveniently rewards you in one of the chests to make sure you win once she consents to a fight. I don't know if there's a way to do the fight the "legit" way but this was the easiest way to do it. I also had to revert to an inn save though because I didn't attack her fast enough the first time.

Finished the game. Great experience but with a lot of missed potential, I'll write a proper review later. I started a NG+ but I don't have much motivation to keep going, I already have the best possible gear, it's mostly just to keep my pawn available to help others out. Maybe I'll hunt for the last remaining beetles, too. TeaJay posted:I tried to fight The Sphinx but I failed, I wonder if that was because I forgot to take off the debuff ring?

It’s a choice to make dying actually punishing and it’s honestly a cool handicap that teaches you to be better (because dying isn’t fun!). If this genuinely bothers you this much wait a week or so and there will be a mod to outright remove the penalty or let you heal your max health back outside of camp (I expect the latter to come first). REFramework has been updated for the game so I expect the modding scene to take off properly now.

So let’s be real: is Mystic Spearblade better or worse than Warrior when it comes to (a) face tanking and (b) yeeting guys around w/ attacks? Also do blunt Warrior weapons have greater yeet potential? Bc that’s what I would like to see. Big sweaty men bumping meat Also I was underwhelmed by fighter’s Skyward Slash attack but the upgraded Warrior equivalent rips (literally) bc it is basically the Axel uppercut from Streets of Rage 2 — use it on a tall guy and you’ll get multiple hits out of it.

Spear is perfect tank because it grants team invulnerability in a way you can easily weave into other attacks and stay permanently full health (besides fall down from 3 foot drop face first of course). It's not a yeeter, it's a stabber so you're more likely to pin something in place than to send it flying. You can however send yourself flying to and fro and that's fun.

Man, replaying the game it really shows how garbage the main story is. First most of the quests in Vermund is filler, then you get sent to Battahl, do some fetch quests, and the story is basically over. I think you could actually finish the game without setting a food in the desert of Battahl itself, as long as you use the coastal path there.

Also do blunt Warrior weapons have greater yeet potential? Bc that’s what I would like to see. Big sweaty men bumping meat Honestly I've been playing both and I still don't know which I like better. MSH has all the mobility (and the bubble) but then again warrior is just so drat brutal. It feels so satisfying swinging your weapon around and send small mobs flying or stand on top of a big mobs head and whack them in the face.  I have a pretty nice barbarian look going in Bakbattahl. The game even feels like it runs better here. Maybe it's just the capital or Venworth cities they stuffed so full of everything they run like poo poo.  A fun thing about the game is that no one absolutely gives a gently caress about what you do. You can steal everyone's stuff or even accidentally shoot an arrow in someone's gut.  Right after arriving at Bakbattahl I change my vocation and immediately get challenged by some guy. And I have to fight this dude while naked. But no worries, I just pin him into a corner and punch him to submission!
