There are multiple goblin tiers, if some of the later ones ganged up and formed a kick circle on a pawn I could see it happening. Especially if your already busy with some other escalating fracas that they're butting into.

its surprising how little footage of Trickster stuff there seems to be, or there's just a deluge of lovely clickbait videos on youtube, but either way it's disappointing

I mean this is easily testable/reproducible if anyone wanted to test it out. If true then it kind of kills the magic a bit, but they could just be generating a lot of "this is what I did with that arisen" lines randomly so you can imagine what your pawn experienced even if none of it is true.

I was watching a friend stream the game earlier today and he actually died to some really basic goblin poo poo because in the middle of an ogre fight two goblins jumped him. One hit him from behind, then the other hit him, and they basically just shoved him around until he died. So it's possible something like that happens.

The lack of enemy variety is extremely disappointing. If there's any DLC, I hope they address that. But honestly I'm not expecting more than 2-3 new enemies.

Sometimes just reloading the game has fixed strange/seemingly bugged quest behavior for me, other times leaving the area and coming back. In particular there were two instances where I needed a reload: during the Trial of Archery, the lady elf disappeared on me but reloading the game popped her back in. Also, during Tolled to Death, I had already taken the grimoire and couldn't interact with Oskar to give it back to him until after I reloaded the game.

Well I hecked up the sphinx quests on accident. I was onto her last quest at the Frontier Shrine (which is much easier to stumble across than the main Sphinx shrine), and she was like “find this NPC” and I’m like hey I recognise this nasty little gremlin. Turns out it was a dude who looked almost just like him, so I totally misunderstood the trick to that quest. Should have realized such a recognizable NPC would mean it’s a trick. Sadly, I disappointed the best romance option in the game and she flew away.

Think it just depends what class you are, as a mystic spearhand the guy isn’t invulnerable to the stun so you can just repeatedly stun and anime execute him until he falls over.

Like Dante and Vergil in Devil May Cry the main difference between them is their hair

So I just maxxed out the sorcerer and Warrior vocations for my main and pawn respectively and now I don't know what to do. I think I want to try either Magic Archer or Mystic Spearhead on my main but I think I want to keep my pawn either a fighter or a warrior. Any suggestions? Any other classes I should grab feats from? Any pitfalls?

Martial classes don't get one of those helmets that don't cover your hair until the very end of the game, so my fighter/warrior pawn just spends the whole game without one.

Dunno if this is common knowledge, but for a lot of helmet you can click on them and Raise/Lower visor, so that's something at least. Edit: Also, use the west ropeway in Battahl for a cave with the best hat in the game Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Just in case there's another crazy person out there that happens to be interested, these are the difficulty settings I arrived at after spending 60 hours in the game and doing a couple of restarts. Makes the game feel like DD1 Hard Mode without making it tedious.

Finished the game and post-game last night and was really happy to see that my romance choice was totally out of the blue - the warfarer maister Lamond. Which, thinking on it, I actually really like that it was him and not Ulrika or someone else? It felt kinda fitting that the credits rolled out and the arisen who wasn't skilled enough to defeat his own dragon got to meet and help someone who did (me  ). I'm assuming it was him cause I did a single escort quest with him before I rolled into the end of the game, but while the credits rolled my 2nd option was Eini, the grandma of the little girl you give spellbooks to north of Melve, and THEN Ulrika, the woman who I saved multiple times, saved her first village, saved her second and installed her as chief, had a romantic cutscene with on the beach, etc.Overall, the game was really cool but I think even with all it's shortcomings it would have been difficult to truly disappoint me since I loved the first one so much and was happy to just see a sequel here. I think there's a lot of places the game can certainly be improved and I'm pretty optimistic that a good, hefty expansion will help out a bunch.

I was kind of disappointed that somehow the beloved stuff in this was even less relevant than in the first. They could've at least given us a funny cutscene with them.

Vargs posted:Fighting the lich in the misty area and he's floating over the water casting spells at us for a good minute or so. Then he just barely dips his toe in and dies instantly. Interesting strategy. I had a griffin attempt to dive bomb me near a cliff and he overshot and went right into the drink. "I shall have to inform my Master of this strategy"

Warfarer gives me the same sort of decision paralysis as late-game Dante in DMCV which I guess is a good thing. The sheer breadth of fashion and skill choices is wild. I may just switch back to Fighter for the endgame since that's what I started off with. Magick Archer is awesome but also very OP.

Playing warfarer as "4 skills from a single class" and just having like a staff for traversal is legit. Wear best armour, levels up every single vocation. What's not to like

I was worried that the Bow quest with the elf was gonna be having to like run and jump and hit targets in motion (myself and the targets) or something so the fact it was just literally shooting a single target and the elf dude going,"HOLY gently caress  !" was hilarious.

Godmode/charged ranged attack/that attack that makes you rush at enemies/jedi force throw For damage you can just spam the gently caress out of basic attack to do that twirly thing. Make sure you have magick pawns so they can buff your weapon with elemental damage.

Magic spearman isn't for doing damage, it's for looking fancy and turning your team permanently invulnerable for some reason. Without the bubble skill, it would be an absolutely worthless class

So I’m lining up a shot on a thing when the warrior I hired runs past with a goblin skewered on the end of her hugeass sword and uses the goblin skewer to stab a chunk of rock out of the wall. I really wish I could be bothered to record this fkn game sometimes. I’ve also experienced the intense joy of “slide down incline and then all 3 pawns faceplant inelegantly”. Oh, it’s perfect comedy.

One time a goon summoned my pawn to give them a gift and then immediately sent them back. She came back saying something about how she had put her skills to good use. Stop lying, I've spoken to the other Arisen e: yeah what Clocks said.

I probably missed this my first run, but I started NG+ and was running through the woods, and a goblin threw an explosive barrel and hit me in the face, and then his 4 goblin friends just started laughing at me instead of attacking.

I've been trying a less-severe setup from level 1, most especially reducing exp by 75%, and all I gotta say is watch out for the stagger/impact settings. At .5 to them and 1.25 to me, all I could do was walk into a bandit camp before they'd throw me into a circle and chain-beat me to death.

You can stunlock any large enemy by hitting them with slow, wailing on them with The Star Wars Kid combo, then hitting them with another slow as soon as it wears off. It’s extremely powerful but so are most of the other classes so personal preference really.
