I gifted mighty roborants for most of the early game when I was playing mage. Later when I was not playing mage I hoarded healing items more judiciously so I got stingier with my pawn gifts, but at minimum it's gotta be a grimoire or a status cure potion. The two pawns I took to fight the medusa both got malleating elixers. I like to think their arisens better understand their adventures with meaningful gifts. I also gave one pawn a single exploding arrow as a gift because I didn't understand you have to talk to the pawn to provide the item they want for their quest. That was 10k I could've gotten too!

Fun fact, not all fruits and berries are found in every players' game, for example, I don't have blueberries in mine. Gift one of those, and make the recipient scratch their head. I also think fruits not available in your world can be used to make stronger potions?

Since Ferrystones are so easy to farm up in the postgame, in NG+ I've been giving them out like candy whenever I send home a pawn that seems like their player hasn't finished the game yet. If it seems like they have beaten the game, I send whatever the best healing item I've got a bunch of is. For any of yall who decide to completely reset your progress for a new file, don't forget to give all your Portcrystals to pawns first. Send them home with a nice present. Just gonna be basically deleting them otherwise, might as well donate them.

I don't bother gifting. Folks probably aren't even gonna use whatever you gift and you can't justify handing out the actually valuable stuff like beetles. Just an endless cycle of people passing around a bunch of garbage to each other. I do give pretty much everyone a heart rating though, because if your pawn was good enough for me to hire in the first place, you deserve it.

In the first game I remember being impressed with how well armor and capes scaled to your body type but it’s much more awkward looking in this one. Some stuff just looks stupid as hell. Also in dd1 you could layer armor which is also gone as far as I can tell.

I wonder what else is in your game and not mine. Can't be just the fruits, can it? Kind of the same effect, although not really the same, but: with all the questline branches I'm sure there's stuff in my game I take for granted, that not everyone experiences the same way.

Thumbtacks posted:You apparently cannot 100% the game without NG+, some quests will just show up or not show up randomly. Is that really true though? I think there's a lot of stuff that has sort of unknown triggers, or breaks sometimes (like for me I went to the castle pretty early on in NG+ so I didn't get to do Sven's whole questline where he pretends to be some random kid on the street, even though I got the ornate box when I walked into Vernworth. But that can be triggered manually but carrying his rear end back to the merchant). There might be some mutually exclusive stuff too but I haven't heard of quests that don't appear at all.

I'm doing a 1 pawn playthrough right now and in addition to this, a lot of lines feel oddly short and awkward because they are clearly written to have a followup from another pawn. He also refers to himself as "we" sometimes which has me worried that the lack of pawn socialization has negatively impacted his mental health.

I think that might be one of the paths that can be unblocked by a trebuchet? Wild that they have that mechanism to be used like 3 times total.

You need to find a rock nearby and drop it in the net and it'll just fire on its own. All the spots you can fire the trebuchet need you to do it three times to actually break open the thing it's aiming at.

It owns. If you see a trebuchet, use it three times. It's usually pointed at a hidden cave that is blocked.

Vargs posted:Killing the dragon and becoming king (or duke) does not happen in DD1 though. If you actually kill the dragon it triggers the end times with the everfall opening, which is the next step towards the arisen becoming the seneschal. Found this on youtube, basically we have some translation issues in English. Long story short, in Japanese it is clarified that this world is one without a true Seneschal, as Rothais, the last Seneshal, used his divine powers to return from the Rift and keep conquering instead of doing his work as a Senechal. The Storyteller stepped in its place, but he didn't really understood the point of a Seneshal and created a world with a "corrupted" cycle. The dragon in DD1 was always a different being (Arisens defeated by the Seneshal, or made directly by the Seneshal), while the one in DD2 is (iirc) always the same, and wants to break free from the corrupted cycle of the Pathfinder.

I kind of wish we got a bit more interaction with the dragon in DD2 just because the little bit you get near the end, where he's very strongly hinting that he's "on your side", is really interesting, and I think spreading that a bit more throughout the game would have helped develop that dynamic. I think it also would have been an interesting angle to explore as a sort of soft-reboot of the BBI story, where the showdown between the dragon and the arisen has a tragic angle and neither of them really wants to fight the other.

I wonder what XP locking with a mod would do to the game difficulty. Things clearly scale with level, but XP and DCP are completely different. You'd have lower stats, of course, but it seems to still be like the first game where stats are WAY more gear dependant than levels.

Yeah, the DD2 dragon just doesn't feel as realised a character as Grigori. Part of it might just be having a name. Like he's a cool dragon, I dig what he says when he shows up at the very end, but we don't get enough of him. Grigori gets that big moment in Deny Salvation where he crushes this huge fortress that was built to stand against him, crushes the cult leader that thought to use him, and he delivers some bomb-rear end lines and does a really intimidating thing where his head just rushes out of all the smoke and dust right in front of you and he grins. The dragon needed a good moment at the 2/3s mark before the endgame just to show off a bit. Honestly the dragon wrecking the giant robot after it walked through all the defences might've been a cool set piece, though that's right before he appears anyway.

Oh christ. I'm just stuck with elf archer ambushing me in front of my house into perma escort status, unless I let him get killed and wait until I have more than two wakestones to rez him when I'm not loitering in act 1 anymore, aren't I? I am so not up for a trip to unknown lands ahead of schedule. Him and his dad were already constantly getting stuck on any possible insane geometry ("Run across a bridge? You meant clip outside of it to dance on top of the post OUTSIDE of the bridge, right?"), to ensure I have to fight every last large enemy in the world as archer that can't quite reach their top of the head rune while my dumbass party refuses to bop it. I am two seconds away from throwing him into the ocean even if that perma breaks Fixing the elf tree Because I have already had enough of where's waldo when setting camp makes them warp back to a prior location already. I got my free bow and portcrystals, I'll do it I swear to god.

Deified Data posted:Can you not just tell him no? And all talking with them gets me is how happy he is to be with me, soooo. My main concern is if they will get perma lost if I don't babysit them, compared to just quietly taking them out back and drowning him until I need him. EDIT: If I am lucky, it might be an unrelated event because he is into me now... Wait, no, still off far to the west even with all quest tracking turned off. welp... On the bright side, they seem too powerful to die now. Bridal carry means I can't throw him, scooting him over a cliff into the brine warps him back to me. Guess I will just have a tagalong until it inevitably all goes wrong. "Well, everyone says taking a wagon will at worst interrupt you most of the way there-cyclops and ogre combo as night is falling.
