Man this is fun as poo poo. It's kinda like a grim fantasy X-Com, but with old style RPG combat. I basically dove in with minimal knowledge of how to actually play the game so it's been a real meat grinder so far, but that's half the fun of this kind of thing. My vestal is both abusive and bloodthirsty, and basically spends most of her time in the dungeon making the rest of the party as miserable as possible (whether it's by insulting them every time they miss or opening iron maidens that I would really rather stay closed). Figuring out the mechanics without a whole lot of help has been easy enough so far but I was kinda surprised by how short the torches last. Sometimes I lose a light level just going through a hallway.

Demiurge4 posted:It depends on the size of the dungeon. A short dungeon doesn't let you rest, a medium will let you rest once and a large will presumably let you rest twice. The vestal is pretty decent but healing in general is a bit weak I think, I like to bring a tanky party and just smash my way through instead of trying to pitifully mitigate damage with heals. The occultist is also a really good healer. His heal has a chance to cause bleed, but in my experience it's a very small chance so if you take a doctor along (or some bandages) the occultist is the ideal single-target healer/debuffer.

I sent the masochist jester in to flagellate as a form of stress relief, and he came out no longer masochistic. I guess he got it out of his system.

There really are a whole bunch of enemies where, upon seeing them, you immediately think "oh no  "Darkest Dungeon: Realistic Adventurer Simulator

I don't want major spoilers, just don't want to repeat the situation with the hag where I went into it blind with a party full of short range melee damage. Don't hit his little buddy, at all, until the Prince is dead

After realizing that I am a dumbass and the bounty hunter benefits from marks other than his own, I have started using one alongside a vulnerability hex occultist. He is cleaning up the Weald singlehandedly. I wish I'd figured this out sooner. Also just a heads up: if you run from the hag while someone is in the pot, you will lose that person, which...seems kind of obvious in retrospect  Normal Adult Human posted:My starter highwayman cleans his guns, scouts ahead, and then gets eye of the tiger and a blessing and he had a 30% baseline crit with ranged attacks. It's a serious consideration whether i want him to immediately end the encounter with grapeshot or let it take longer for extra stress reduction. lmao. darkestdungeon.txt

Yardbomb posted:I get there and the only people capable of hitting her are an Occultist and Plague Doctor (Because my prick Highwayman is 3 and won't go anymore). My Leper suddenly misses just about every hit with around 70% accuracy, on top of his accuracy buff from camping. My Crusader with some ridiculously high buffed damage percent can never hit either. This fatass crone might as well get eighty turns in a row when we have pretty average speed. The whole group had improved armor and weapons. Every time it's either the Leper or Crusader who get put in and I basically can't leave without them. I had multiple Ancestral trinkets on the team as well as my other actual good ones. Failed about 4 retreats in a row. Legit pissed at such a stupid fight and the shittiest loving dice rolls known to mankind taking my entire best lineup. The human mind: fragile, like a robin's egg
