Just killed an Ogre by tricking it into charging off a ledge, GOTY. Also my tag is LordEmong if anyone wants to use my pawn I guess.

Mystic Mongol posted:By any chance, were you on a giant spiral staircase? Yep, that's the one. Took me forever to kill it, and I'm pretty sure that ledge is the only reason I managed. Also, turns out if you wait too long, that lost and found quest expires, so look out for that.

I'm getting pretty close to switching my pawn from a mage, but I've got no weapon to give him. There was one in the Gran Soren armory the first time I went there.

Tgent posted:So this game has turned out to be pretty good? All this stuff about adventuring in a dangerous world and having to plan your trips carefully and such sounds like what I wanted from oblivion/skyrim and never got. It's like Skyrim, if Skyrim was totally awesome. Also, I just noticed that when you enhance your equipment it can pull items straight out of your storage, which is awesome. Also you can apparently upgrade straight to rank 3 even if you don't have the item for rank 2.

Okay, so I'm currently in a dungeon called The Watergod's Altar, and I have no idea what to do. I just killed a cyclops, and the pawns are talking about draining the water, but I don't see any way to do that.

I never got a quest related to it, I just stumbled in there while looking around. I guess that's why I couldn't find any sort of key.  Also, is there any way to actually use the lightening whip spell to, you know, whip things? Or does it just trail behind me and hope it hits something?

Shardok posted:Some normal class skills are cross-class (i.e. Fire Boon being available to both Mage and Sorcerer) too. So he might just keep those. I do believe most of the basic damage/affinity/boon spells are available as Sorcerer too. When you change vocations you keep everything that's shared between the two regardless of whether you could normally have them at the new vocation's rank. Sorcerer gets most of the basic mage spells, so there's not a lot of reason to not swap him over.

If you hit X (or whichever button does it on the PS3) on the change vocation screen you'll get a list of all the skills you'll have access to in that vocation including the ones carried over from other vocations. I don't know if that includes core skills, though.

Although fun fact, the parapets before you go into the courtyard hold a ballista, and you can cheese them out from there.

Haven't actually found anything of use to me in a chest so far, which is disappointing to say the least. Pretty much all the cool stuff comes from the dungeons that you get quests to go into.

Running as a strider and planning on going to magic archer later down the road but i've been using daggers mostly outside of the boss fights so would assassin be a better choice? Backfire is the best magic archer skill and it's for daggers, so just keep doing what you're doing.

Pikey posted:On the way to the goblin infestation the the keep on the west side of the map, are you supposed to run into a griffon? Just as I left the main city a guard announced a supply caravan was arriving and was being attacked by goblins. About 2 minutes into the fight a loving griffon swoops down for a pass or two, the just peaces out and flies away. Either this game is brilliant at world building, or the developers are terrible at placing triggers in the game. That's just a thing that happens. I think if you can do enough damage the griffin will stick around for a fight. Unrelatedly, I found out that you can click in the left stick the switch to manual aim mode for spells.

I switched to Magick Archer after 25 levels (and max vocation ranks) of being a sword and board Assassin; I like the magic bow skills a lot but my damage is just so piddly, even with the +magic fire knives. Should I just tough it out and hope I become effective later, or just switch to magic knight/continue as assassin?

Ledneh posted:I was reading the (extremely excellent!) OP to try to decide for the last time if I should go buy this, and Magick Archer is basically the best class. (I am kind of sad that that is a dagger skill when I'm focused on staves, though.)

Scott Bakula posted:Has anyone been playing magic archer? Is it fun? I'm so lost as to what I should go for. It certainly sounds right for me. Do you buff your daggers like mages/sorcerers can? Do you still need to aim or is it locked on? I'm enjoying it. You get a few magic-y dagger skills, but no enchantment spells. Your arrows home in a little and you can buy a core skill to improve their homing. You get all sorts of fun arrow skills like hunter arrows that can lock on the 10 different enemies at once (or ten different parts of a big monster), sixfold shot, exploding arrows, arrows that ricochet off the walls and get stronger with each bounce. It's pretty sweet, is what I'm saying. EDIT: Also you can be the human torch. That's cool too.

Scott Bakula posted:Do you recommend using daggers or a staff as the main weapon or putting points into skills for both? I'd prefer to keep using daggers like my strider I'd just stick with the daggers, switching between the two is a bit of a hassle and it takes a while to unlock the more useful spells as a magick archer (High Bromide  )

Funkmaster General posted:I wonder how other people handle pawns. I've been keeping them until they are far enough below me that it's a burden, then checking if they are leveled up, release them and rehire them if they're closer to my level again. I tend to hire out pawns 10 or so levels higher than me, and replace them once I meet their level or they die.

Because it never seems to apply fire when I'm buffed and it totally wrecks saurians even when I am not buffed (I heard they were weak to ice). Also I cannot wait to set myself on fire. Yep, all of their skills have a built in element. I've had sixfold shot freeze a few enemies solid.

There's a cast time reducing augment, but I don't know if it affects magick bow skills.

Test-0 posted:So, uh, I might have over done it in the Griffin quest... When I lured it in to land in the spot you give it a goblin snack, I proceeded to alpha strike it so heavily with a double Arc of Might from both me and my pawn that it was completely stun locked and what followed was like dropping a piano on a pigeon. Several flaming pianos. I think I've seen the same quest done by others and it was meant to fly away and lead you to some ruins somewhere where you have an epic showdown. That, uh, didn't happen. It's kinda dead. A lot. You can still go there, but you might not be able to get in to some of the rooms. I'm not really sure what the game does in that case.

There's a guy standing next to the riftstone in the encampment that'll sell you potion to change your main pawn's personality. You can't really do anything else about it.

Frankosity posted:I've just started over on a Fighter / Warrior killersaurus just to smooth out a rough start and I had a couple questions from where I'd gotten to in the game - - Only the Strider augment affects climbing monsters as far as I know. - The magic stat is basically how much damage the enchantment does. Affinity spells will overwrite that with the temporary enchantment which will probably end up doing more damage. - The best thing would probably be to use Sinew and that one strider augment that lets you move as if you're one weight class lighter.

Mr. Crow posted:So this game looks amazing, curious what the general "negatives" are for it (e.g. why it's not gotten amazing reviews like Dark Souls vs. just good reviews)? Likely grabbing it regardless but I'd like to get a feel for what the general consensus is on the games faults, and if I care. The biggest issue for me is that the only thing approaching a fast travel system doesn't become viable at all until New Game+. And that's only really an issue because because even just traveling from town to town you end up having to fight your way through dozens and dozens on enemies.
