Just picked this game up + DLC, go go Humble Bundle, and Holy poo poo This game hates you and is fun 2nd mission was successful and lost 3, for the next mission, from sending them to pray + whore their way to feeling better 3rd mission was the meteorite which ended in me running away 4th mission I got cocky with a new party and lost 3 to perma death A+ would explore ruins again. This is all on Normal difficulty as well. Absolutely love that narration that occurs as you play. I swear that the voice actor has actually read some Lovecraftian stories on youtube previously.

I never actually beat this game but I love it. Would like to get through the story before DD2 comes out. Will I get the full story in Radiant Mode or is some of it cut out?

No, you'll get it all. Radiant is just slightly easier and far less grindy.

Restarting this for the 3rd or 4th time, determined to finally beat it. I finally accepted that I should probably play Radiant mode and also turned off the Crimson Court DLC.

Remember you can enable dlc at any time during a campaign. I recommend week 30~ to turn on the Court, the town events and bloodsuckers can stack in an unpleasant way early on.

Radiant mode is nice because while it is 'faster' the encounters are the same difficulty. But since you can over level and still run lower dungeons you can definitely face roll missions while not having to juggle your lineup to ensure you have a good group that can actually run the mission. On harder difficulties you really have to finagle it to have four level 2/4/6s (ideally) to reduce the chance of stress and death.

Yeah on regular mode I seem to hit a wall where my main guys where too high level to support the fresh blood in easy missions but they weren't quite good enough to consistently beat difficult missions without getting a ton of stress.

The worst situation is where you have a party barely high enough for Veteran/Champion difficulty and haven't updated their equipment yet. I'm pretty sure a lot of bullshit deaths /party wipes are because of this. Level ups improve your resistances too, which becomes exponentially more relevant over time.

Yea it's really difficult, I feel like it takes ages to learn and even then I'm getting it wrong constantly. Especially after you loot an item and it's still in the loot bag, so I try and move and just scroll right in my bag. I do it every single time.

When starting out I should never worry about loosing an adventurer, right? If they die or turn into a gibbering nut job crippled by negative quricks after a dozen or so missions and I did not spend any resource on them, I've come out a head.

Some people go a little bit overboard on throwing away rookie heroes; if they survive a mission or two unscathed and have good skills/quirks you might as well start developing them. But if they don't, there's definitely no harm in tossing them.

Man, I beat this game when it was first released it was tense but I didn't really lose anybody. Just one occultist. Now I've jumped back in and people are eating poo poo left and right. I think some of this is because most of the modded classes I added seem quite weak, but I'm also running into a lot more straight up bullshit. Like yesterday I had spiders double crit and kill a full health Flagellant on turn 1 before I could act at all. What are people's favorite modded classes anyways? Of the ones I've spent some time with I think I like the Cataphract the most. His healing doesn't seem good enough to be a primary healer but it is enough to be really helpful if someone is about to bite it or during the near-end-of-combat song and dance where you try to top everyone off. Definitely more so than the Arbalest or Crusader. And for the majority portion of the fight he's a perfectly serviceable though not particularly impressive offensive character. Fucks up the back line from rank 4 early on then moves up to rank 1 for the remainder.

i'm not a huge fan of the cataphract actually. mostly because his hybrid (heal/damage) move set is pretty simple and doesn't have a lot of cross-interaction. with that said, i think his front line healing is very competitive with the right trinkets and borderline overpowered with the stacking prot buff for his single heal. there are a lot of great custom classes that have been released over the last year or so that don't have as much profile as they should. mostly because of the lateness of the game's life cycle. one of the general issues with many of them is their tendency towards highly specialized gimmicky due to the primacy of stimulating interest and/or filling unused mechanical niches these days. s-purple's are all visually inventive but all relatively mechanically simple. seo's are all very high quality but all arguably somewhat underpowered because of his more unconventional mechanical balancing between strengths and weaknesses; the seraph and the lamia are especially weak and i always edit some of the seraph's values. the thorn and the beastmaster are i think the most creative custom classes to have been recently released. the thorn is an incredibly cool class with a huge animation set but she can only really occupy position 2 and fight bleed-vulnerable opponents to be fully viable. grove tender and butcher bird are some relatively new and interesting customs from a korean modder that i haven't played around with sufficiently. the monk is an older korean mod and still one of my favorites; very straightforward without being completely simple; quite strong without being too obviously unbalanced.

We literally don't know. At all. They've not released a single thing about the game despite announcing it earlier....this year? I wouldn't expect it for years. Looking forward to it...eventually!

i think i read somewhere that they are planning to do the same early access thing they did with the original, so hopefully it's sooner rather than later. although i remember playing it back in 2016 and it's definitely a way better game now. the perils of early access i guess.

I wonder if it's possible to port something like DD to mobile phones. I'll play the sequel regardless, but that seems like the natural progression of things and would open up the market for the game.

I’ll post my mod list later. Mods is fun! **i wrote / re-edited some of the beast master lore tho so I might be a hair biased. Personally I think lamia is great. Just don’t bother with attacking. She’s a support bot through and through.

So I guess the sequel will be about how the Ancestor was a troubled boy, and how his overbearing mother sent him to to spend the winters in their Ancestral Vacation Manor until he got fed up enough to go all Cask of Amontillado on her.

she kept sending me even though I didn't like skiing, so I did the natural thing - threw a party where me and my friends would murder her and drink her blood. as one does.

What class mods are actually good? The last time I played this there were hardly any released but now there seems to be a ridiculous amount and I'm not sure what is good. Marvin Seo's mods seem decent, but I have no clue how the rest stack up. Also, are there any good mods that balance the vanilla classes?

There's a lot to like with the moment-to-moment mechanics and atmosphere and such but there does come a kinda last legs slog where you're just trying to get enough materials to level up the hamlet and enough money to level up your guys and cure your most important party members and it all starts to wear on you. I don't fear the higher damage numbers of Stygian or even the time limit; I fear revisiting all that busywork.

I love so much about the game and have put 100+ hours into it and never beaten it because it can be such a loving slog. Part of the problem is I played it way too much in early access when there was no end but every time I start a new game with the intention of finishing it I hit the midway point and lose interest.
