Jack Trades posted:That works?! I'm not sure you even need to grab them, but I'd do it to be sure. The first time I did that elf -> forge escort, I didn't realize they were following me at first, so I just immediately used a ferrystone to Bakbattahl, and she went with me.

Make sure you're actually in an area where you can ferrystone out of, otherwise I'm not sure! I generally just pick up the NPC and teleport away.

Broken Cog posted:For later, but you can always do these escorts by grabbing the escortee and using a ferrystone to get closer to the goal. I did, my closest portcrystal was still a ways north of bakbattahl. I wandered around the whole city and when I went into the jail the guards suddenly aggroed and threw me in jail, unlike the vernworth guards who didn't care about me walking around their jail. I then unlocked the jail door with a key right in front of them, strolled past them a ways, and all my gear materialized back into my inventory. I ran further and ended up in the forbidden magic lab, whereupon the guards were cool again and I could chat them up. after running around the lab for awhile, they suddenly aggroed again. they chased me back to the hallway and since I had the spearhand invincibility shield I just killed them all without anything they could do about it. all the researchers in the lab and everyone in the city is still cool with me, so I looted the place top to bottom. when I left through a different way than the jail, I ran past a guard who said not to try slinking in. I don't really know why any of these systems(?) exist the way that they do

I came across an interesting quest reaction for the Myrddin quest. If you already did Trysha's stuff and got Meteoron (or more specifically you just have Meteoron, in my case from NG+) Myrddin notices and gets mad at you if you either don't tell him who taught you or reveal it was Trysha, and doesn't teach you Maelstrom. But if you're wearing Trysha's ring, he instead spends some time reflecting on his relationship with Trysha and afterwards still teaches you Maelstrom.

Is there even a stealth system or whatever? Literally the only time I had guards attack me was when sneaking into Allard's room for evidence and there was a guard inside. Other than that I could always freely walk around literally anywhere else.

Mordiceius posted:This is all I have on my map sofar: I wouldn't bother putting any of my limited portcrystals anywhere you've uncovered so far, except maybe Elftown if you feel like it's a place you're going to be visiting often (because you like their vendor's unique selection of items, for example). For most of the game I think I only had three portcrystals, until I did the sphinx riddles. I put one in Bakbattahl* permanently, another permanent one in the Volcanic Island Camp, and the last one was a wildcard that I usually lugged around with me to temporarily put in a place where, for example, I wanted to grind a specific enemy or that I had to visit multiple times for a quest. That seemed to work fine for me. Pretty much anywhere else you can get to pretty quickly by running or taking the oxcart, if you don't mind wading through dozens of trash mobs on the way there. * this is probably the big one, absolutely make sure you have a portcrystal on you or in storage when you first visit this place Jack Trades posted:Is there even a stealth system or whatever?

No. It operates according to the first game's logic, where guards may or may not attack you when they see you trespassing, and it doesn't have permanent consequences if they do anyway.

I've only been attacked by guards when I've had my weapons out in a restricted area, and once when I tried to open Hugo's jail cell. I even carried the guard away down the hall and around the corner and made sure nobody else was around, and he still aggroed so I think it was just scripted to happen if you open the cell.

Yeah I don't think enemies have vision. It's just proximity and triggers. Same with the noble in the checkpoint town, who'll run from far away if open his office door, but won't care if he sees you jump to the balcony and enter that way.

It is fascinating the details put in to avoid clipping errors in some cases, while having traditional "It is a cape/hanging on your back item, don't worry about it" mega clipping in others. I JUST finally realized that my early game guardian plate armor (Fighter or Warrior), removes all the plate metal from the elbow down on one side if you equip a shield, leaving a bare forearm and leather glove. That is such a neat detail, now I am wondering how many suits of armor edit themselves based on your equipment or not.

Trickster is a lot easier to level when you just throw your weapon away and either punch everything to death, or just grab them and throw them off cliffs.

Most of the time the "max affinity" escorts show up at my house and have me take them somewhere. But Doireann is far more feisty, she was in the Sacred Arbor already and wanted me to take her to my private residence in Vernworth. First time I've seen that particular destination!Broken Cog posted:I'm not sure you even need to grab them, but I'd do it to be sure. For that quest specifically I think Doireann will just teleport to Bakbatahl after a bit. She even gives you a ferrystone to try and get you to go there faster.

Section Z posted:It is fascinating the details put in to avoid clipping errors in some cases, while having traditional "It is a cape/hanging on your back item, don't worry about it" mega clipping in others. A bunch of them remove shoulder and upper chest bits if you're equipping a mantle or scarf style neck slot armor vs a cape. Comparing that to the way capes just sorta clip through everything really does speak to uneven dev time and resources.

If anyone want to test high affection results, one wyrmslife crystal as a gift seems to max out pretty much anyone. Though it also seems you can only increase affection through gifts once per day, so don't go waste them on a bunch of different people without resting inbetween

Beat the game. I concur with others who think that, while it’s tough to recommend without reservation to DD-naive friends, it is weirdly compelling. Immediately started another run. I can’t say I enjoyed fighting the beacon bosses. The melee fun sweet spot, IMO, is mid-sized creatures. Less camera weirdness, and bite-sized fight length. E: in addition to DA goodness, I’d kind of like to see some sort of player homestead system added. And a fishing mini game. I just… this world feels right for a fishing mini game.

Ok, switch off Trickster if you're planning on doing the phantom oxcart quest, that was a pain.Jack Trades posted:Once per day, period? I was under the impression that it was once per day per person. I thought that as well, but after testing a bit it feels like once per day period.

You can replace their current specialization with a new one but you can't freely switch between ones they've already learned. Once the tome is consumed it's gone and you need another one if you want to switch them back.

Sure, but after she roundaboutly admitted to killing him, then left a note on my door about how lovely my house is and how she'd love a private tour of it I much more got the vibe she was seeking a tryst with the rear end in a top hat, but he took it too far by trying to kill her husband, so she offed him instead. It might have just been the exact timing was I saved her husband from being cucked to death, she killed the rear end in a top hat, and then immediately after telling me that I find she's been in my house and is down bad.

I'd wait until you get a spare portcrystal, though, so you can stick one on the Volcanic Island. I was mad at myself for forgetting to bring one when I did the blacksmith one where you have to rescue the girl, since I now have to make the trip again (though since it's NG+ I can also open the north way early, which I think is a little faster).

The problem is there are some spots where you can kind of get stuck because the game has a funny way of interpreting which direction that is when crossing a threshold of different body parts.
