Mystic knight definitely gets to wear armor--at least the same armor as a fighter, with some unique pieces like magic shields.

My wife lost her purse earlier last week and we had to cancel the credit cards, and I forgot to change my information for my preorder. Went to go check its status this morning and finally got it fixed. It said it's still on track for release day shipping, at least. Hopefully I'll get to play some tonight.

Just saw things going terribly wrong for Gyoru in his stream, and all I can think is: "And people were worried this would be easy."

NESguerilla posted:A few questions...Why is my health seem to be at the half way mark even if it appears to be full? Also, Do I do anything when I level up or is everything automatic? Finally, my bow occasionally fires powerful fire arrows but I can't tell what is triggering it. Am I building up a meter that leads to that or something? As you take damage your max health drops until you restore it with rest or an item. Magic can only fill up the white area.

Yeah, part of Dark Souls was getting the right tool and many required some investment of levels to get access to. I can get behind that to an extent, especially since it seems that leveling is not a grind judging by Gyoru's stream.

I haven't seen any curved swords (well, I think there may be a katana in the game somewhere because I swear I saw one in an item list), but if you like off beat curved weapons you may want to play with some of the daggers in this game. They take the heads off polearms like a voulge or glaive and dual wield them. It's pretty cool.

So I remember a long time back there were rumors of romances in this game. Has anyone found out what they are? I'd all but forgotten about it, but since one of the pairs I set up in the demo was me and my wife, she wants to know if you can romance the pawns.

Okay, so I got the game going and am curious what you guys are looking for in pawns. I was going to go with a modest little mage to watch my warrior's back, but I'm starting to like the idea of a fighter who can help tank for me while I malletize monsters with a mattock.

How soon can you get that Metamorphosis thing, and can you use it on pawns? I like my pawn, except I accidentally left a really squeaky voice on her when I was changing her around and now I can't stand listening to her.

Is there a trick to killing seagulls as a fighter? I swear I killed a few while I was on my way to the encampment, but when I got there I got a quest to hunt them and now it's like they know  and they fly away before I can do anything.

Nuts, I want to be knocking around with this game instead of working. Even if I'm just wasting time running up and down a beach trying to stab seagulls, it's fun! Does anyone on 360 have a healing pawn I can borrow? Vivi is really nice for damage but I'm kind of getting my rear end kicked.

On the subject of "why are all the pawns female" I personally have only hired male pawns, but my own is female because I wanted to A) make a black woman and I was already committed to my main and B) I wanted a fighter who could tank ogres  . It has paid dividends as she's the only one they attack and she has got this! Only thing I regret is I still haven't fixed her voice (spent all my money on gear when I got to Gran Soren), but it's growing on me.

From what I saw, you don't automatically go into NG+ with the defeat of the dragon. There's a post-game for you to explore and part of it involves a...canonical explanation for why you can go into NG+, I think. Don't fret about the dragon overmuch. I hear people are beating the game at level 40, but I just hit 20 and had my first run in with a drake. He liquified my party in a single belch.

Related question: Are there particular augments from other vocations that are well suited for the Warrior? I love riding the pain train, but my stamina can't seem to keep up, especially if I do any climing. I know that strider has some stamina reduction augments--are there other augments I should be on the lookout for in Assassin or Ranger?

Right now my healer is Lil B (not at whom to check which goon he belongs to) and he's working out pretty well. He seems to be very concerned with keeping our health topped off, which is a boon on escorts where the ward keeps getting between me and the saurians (looking at you, Adaro!  )Where do we see the comment for our pawns? Mine was rented out by about five people at once judging by the last set of gifts I got, and I didn't see any option to look at the comments or ranks; none showed up on their own either.

So I have been looking at the augments for various classes, and some of them really intrigue me. I'm currently about to start grinding Magic Archer to Rank 9 because they get Regeneration, which sounds wonderful for my warrior! And after the levels he'll inevitably gain while doing that, he should be well insulated against magic. There's also the rank 9 strider augment Leg-Strength to reduce your weight category of purposes of movement speed (but how does that affect pawn that are already in the lowest category?) God I wish they hadn't locked pawns out of the hybrid classes. I really want someone to be swinging around these awesome maces besides me. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 05:24 on May 26, 2012 |
