Has anyone else just had poo poo performance on PC since the last couple of patches? When this game came out, I could play it even if the FPS would dip on occasion, but now it’s frequent dips into slide show city and a hard crash every 20 minutes or so. Also getting weird graphics glitches where the game either drops textures or it has polygons that stretch out into infinity. I couldn’t even look at my pawn because her robe was covering the whole screen. It’s not just me, it seems to be affecting a number of people, even if it’s a tiny minority. As much as I enjoy this game, I need to put it down until Capcom figures out how to make a game engine.

My performance hasn't gotten that bad and I haven't crashed, but it's definitely gotten worse. Before I only had any issues in the heart of the capital but now if I approach any city, even ruined melve, my game starts getting rough for a bit before smoothing out after a second or two.

What happens to dropped items in the world? Don't they despawn? I noticed a piece of rotten meat in the Nameless Village by the vocation master when I returned there after some time. It made me think of all the lost, dropped and not picked up pieces of loot that the game needs to keep track of. Taking my slow rear end time in Battahl. Went back to Vernworth yesterday by ox-cart because I did not want to waste a ferrystone, I only have like 10, never having bought the things. Turns out I missed a pretty important quest from Sven in the castle. I also found a cave I had never seen and a bunch of beetles and seeker tokens. I wonder what else I missed even though I am pretty thorough and try to check every nook and cranny. Currently leveling warrior. Definately more fun than fighter, which did not really click for me. I feel like I never used the shield, while I had two different deflect/shield rings equipped. I think blocking is probably really strong in this game, but I was too busy lining up hits to block much. Think I'll switch back to fighter for Medusa (I have the shield) and then start leveling Magick archer. I think I'll save mage and sorcerer for post-game.

I wish I could even find any. had the one for the quest at the gallows dead to rights but it ran at half health, and then I later found one elsewhere toward the end of the night which left when the sun came up and wasn't there again when I checked the next night. I've now fully cleared everything I could find in the world besides this last story objective at the excavation site without killing one.

Until a certain point they only spawn at night, and in very few locations. Try central Battahl, or central to western Vermund. For Battahl specifically, there seems to be two locations that can either spawn Liches or Dullahans. Also, if you have the forager specialization on a pawn, and an item that requires a Dullahan bone equipped, you should be able to see where on the map they can appear. Edit: I checked in on my pawn today after letting them idle for a few days, and 15 hires and not a single one managed to slay a lesser dragon? For shame Edit2: I'm seeing people saying that Dullahans will not start spawning in the wild until you've done the Misty Marches quest, so probably not worth to hunt for them before then Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Apr 13, 2024 |

I finished the game without ever beating a Dullahan. I only fought two the entire time - one for the quest in the misty marshes and one in Battahl below the big waterfall. Both kicked my rear end. By the time I was better geared I didn't run into any, even though I was out during the night, feels like I always just got the floaty skeleton mage guys.

Where do you get the Misty Marches quest? I never got that. I got jumped by a Dullahan in Western Vermund on the road from Vernworth to Melve. After one Wakestone and a couple of strength/defense potions (lol right?) I finally managed to beat it. Then with the pawns and myself on low health we continued our journey and 15 steps further we got jumped by a second Dullahan... I just booked it to get away.

Section Z posted:So sleeping in my house in Batthal spawned a guard inside, which seems to have pissed off my pawns and sent them on an anti guard rampage Happened to me as well before I got permission to stay in Bakbattahl, and the guards would only end up becoming hostile when I was in my own house. Just kill them all, as usual there are no repercussions. Castle doctrine bitch, you walk into my home and start attacking me, you're going to die

You talk to Ser Gregor's wife in the Noble quarter who will tell you that some rear end in a top hat sent Gregor on a suicide mission in hopes to score with her instead, or something, that's what I gathered from it anyways. I failed the mission because the area you fight in is very awkward and has water and a bridge and of course half my pawns and then Gregor himself jumped in the water and died. I have no idea what are the triggers for that quest to start since people say sometimes they get it and sometimes not, possibly something to do with main quest progression.

I never got that quest and I think my count ended up at 4, which were basically the only times I ever felt the need to use a wakestone or allheal on myself during battle (all my other wakestones were gravity involved incidents, or overcharging martyr's bolt). The strategy ended up being to run around kiting it (because I get hosed if I stop long enough to attack) and hope my sorceror pawn sees fit to cast some bullshit a few times. Anyway, 63 hours, level 57, and I hit the end. I know for a fact I missed a tonne so I'll have to go round NG+ again at some point and try to find more side quests and gently caress up less in the endgame.

Which Magick Archer skill do people lean on for straight damage? I'm considering betwen Frost and Saggitate but I might be missing a better option. (plus Ricochet for caves, Martyr for drakes and Revive so I don't need a mage)

The Lone Badger posted:Which Magick Archer skill do people lean on for straight damage? I'm considering betwen Frost and Saggitate but I might be missing a better option. Saggitate is kind of like a lighter version of Martyr that doesn't drain health, so it can be used efficiently basically through the entire game.

The Lone Badger posted:Which Magick Archer skill do people lean on for straight damage? I'm considering betwen Frost and Saggitate but I might be missing a better option. Ice block was my favorite. It stunned almost every large enemy, especially drakes. Blows to the face will stun them, hits to the hart will knock a drake out of nearly every cast animation, and just generally wreck its poo poo.

I got jumped by one crossing the stone bridge on the way to the Excavation site, and I haven't done advanced the plot at all. That being said I've spent a long time down here grinding this path and I've only seen the Dullahan once. The Lone Badger posted:Which Magick Archer skill do people lean on for straight damage? I'm considering betwen Frost and Saggitate but I might be missing a better option. I've been relying on Sagittate Avalanche since I've been running Warfarer and can't use Martyr's Bolt. As long as you can lock most/all the bolts onto a single enemy (especially if you can target a weak point) it will delete their health bars. Frost Hunter is good for stuff that can move behind cover or is weak to ice, but I prefer just to alpha strike things.

Sagittate Avalanche can one-shot nearly any normal size enemy if you have good equipment. If you're on Warfarer the stat debuff is enough that some of the rock saurians might survive one fully charged shot. It's my go to ability for deleting the small fry that run around and annoy you while you try to fight big monsters.

Also I really wish I could have some kind of like, pawn dialogue priority system because I want to hear my pawn chatter so I can tell if she's infected with the dragon's plague; instead it's almost only ever straightforward pawn number three thousand responding to every single order every single time. I've stopped hiring them.

If you have a doubt, save to title and reload. That will clear any exclamation mark that should be gone but failed to disappear (a monster loot drop, an oxcart you broke, a boulder you broke/released, a sign/book you read...). Ladders and uncollected seeker tokens will remain.

right if someone can make a base character with the same height/weight we can figure how many beetles it takes to hit the cap: no augs/rings: height: 175cm weight: 60kg max encumbrance: 57.15kg (with max gold beetles) e: wolveshuntin got what should be the rarest pawn badge defeating 5 sphinxes, which is weird as it was on 2/5 this morning then i checked a couple of hours later and it's complete?! 5 people had borrowed them in the meantime. i also got sent a cranberry which i'm keeping with the 3x raspberries i have as bizarrely weird berries that don't seem to spawn in my world Wiggly Wayne DDS fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Apr 13, 2024 |

I have WolvesHuntIn right now—I’m like level 8 so he is really making nighttime travel a lot more pleasant. Hopefully I will remember to unburden him before I send him back, because he’s also carrying a lot of crap for me.
