I'm just going to remind myself that I played doom at 320x200 and Quake at 640x480, both at 30fps, both still were great games, all this poo poo now about having to run it at 4k 120fps locked is gamer brain hogwash. (it does suck tho that it's so badly optimized)

Jack Trades posted:The last console I owned was ZX Spectrum. Spending the early 90s playing Betrayal at Krondor and Ultima Underworld and puking your guts out the entire time while the Sega Saturn had 60fps games on it must have been hard for you! My sympathies.

It looks like Celeb Pawns are hitting a new level here, can't wait to run Conan The Warrior, House M.D. the Mage, and David Bowie the Thief.

You did a great job, I immediately thought "that's Willem Dafoe!" As for the Pawn, wish we could get him to say "THE HEART, ARISEN! First you must attack his heart!"

Lol is there actually a quest that disables your menus when it initiates the "follow this thing" phase? The Phantom Oxcart Also just had a quest prematurely end when I went back and talked to an NPC, he asked how it was going and I told him. I guess it figured that I was done with it and it ended with a sort of..."thanks, I guess?" The thing was, there was still obviously more to do...but I can't do it. Be careful with this game.

Turns out my complaint that a quest froze me out of my menu was a bug. It was always fired at the same time from the same event in the quest...even after multiple reloads...not sure why but I couldn't open my menus, could interact with everything normally but I was invincible to all damage. Anyway I had to hard close DD2 but when I came back everything worked ok, thank goodness. Also I have to say, it feels great when you finish a quest and one of your Hired Pawns says "Well done! When my master did that quest, they were not able to <do whatever thing you did>".

Really suggest you use the Oracle, if the quest doesn't give you guidance. Paid my 50 gold and gotten good hints every time.

Volte posted:It's not exactly lucky - you can explicitly hire a pawn that has quest knowledge if you want. It's something you can filter for in the pawn search. Of course, then you have to blindly follow them to her which can be quite a long way away. Otherwise, I really like that the quest makes you actually find a person who has gone into hiding as opposed to just giving you obvious breadcrumbs. I found her essentially by accident because I still had a quest there. This is exactly what happened to me, even after you finish that quest they imply you should go back there at some point to check in. Y'know, just spitballing here, but I think the reason that certain people are having such trouble with this game is because they either are too young or don't remember a time where games didn't constantly erect guardrails and spoon-feed the player. There has DEFINITELY been some stuff here that's been obtuse or silly but largely if you follow the clues the game lays out you'll do ok.

The bizarre choice to either make the mage an auto-include or....I don't know how you would work around it. Spend a couple of hours on supply runs to stock up on five dozen fruit robents? If there's a Dragon's Dogma 3 I hope they make a Paladin/Cleric style class or SOME way to get health back that doesn't involve one magick Vocation.

There are no horses in the Dragon's Dogma world, which is why I hope Dragon's Dogma 3 has a nighttime event of an encounter with the Headless Oxenman who sloooooowly trundles toward you while laughing insanely.

Keeping the camera pointed at the monster and your character on target is your job, not the game's job. Glad Capcom recognized this.

Control Volume posted:Mystic Spearhand started out rough because I didnt understand how its defenses worked, but now Im tanking entire groups with an invicible shield and locking down big monsters into perpetuity. This class is crazy good It's cool because you can also go a completely different route and be like "now I'm here! Now I'm over there! Try to hit me? Too slow! Gosh...getting tired....lacking vim...just kidding sucker! I just stole all your Stamina and I'm back, baby!" Broken Cog posted:Oh cool, there's a path that bypasses the western gate into Batthali completely. A pawn I hired showed me this. He's like "sir I can help with this quest! hit me up!" Little did I know he was gonna walk me from capital to capital...the hard way!!!

I'm giving out 3400 gold Ogre bounty and I haven't had one taker. Not one. I was thinking about switching Conan from Warrior to Fighter just to get those sweet passives, even though it's not really on theme. I guess I'll do it if he'll still get hired. Having him in full barbarian regalia feels great, though.

Babe Magnet posted:switch him to fighter to get them, and then switch him back to warrior. augments carry over between vocations I appreciate that spoiler but I grabbed 'em already. Final Roar. In fact I figured all the scantily clad stuff was there in DesertLand, so I snuck over the border at level 18 and blew all my money making Conan look fab. Was a hell of an experience because, as you know, there ain't no Portcrystal there and there's no maps or inns, so I just followed the big road and hoped for the best! On to the next area before I fall too behind the curve. TeaJay posted:What level is he? I think I hit level 20 while doing the elf stuff, if he's around that gimme the code and I'll go on a lark with him. Alas, Conan is currently level 37 because I went absolutely bugnuts on this game over the weekend in a way that I haven't since...Elden Ring? maybe? My wife is a bit peeved at me but my son has been checking in and cheering me on so that owns.

I somehow got double escort quests for this little short old dude with a terrible haircut and droopy "moustache rides" style handlebar. I escorted him twice and at the end of the second mission he was all red-faced and "thank you yer Majesty" and I realized that I was getting signals from the game that I had just maxed out affinity with this old dude. That's fine, I was also working an angle with Captain Brandt, hopefully this will straighten itself out. Later I'm at the Inn and see the little dude, I hail him and he starts ranting about what garbage the beastren are! I had accidently friend-zoned a racist old MVGA guy. Fuckin' Dragon's Dogma, man!

Thundarr posted:It's helpful that escort mission NPCs will join you on oxcart trips, so if the far away place they want to go is close to one of the oxcart hubs you can just fast travel. I assume ferrystones bring escorted characters along too like in DD1. You have to pick them up.

Shyrka posted:Fucker wants to go all the way back to Vernworth! Uh....no he doesn't. Or at least, he shouldn't. He actually wants to go where you want to go. I don't know how you would get a Vernworth destination unless they literally made a fork in the quest where if you discover him before a certain something, he takes you back to the capital. Which, knowing this weird rear end game, wouldn't surprise me.

Crowetron posted:Brant wants me to go to a fancy masquerade and that sounds fun but I also found a way past the border and I want to explore that. Is there a port crystal in a city down there somewhere or does Vernworth have the only fixed one? Answer: ....no there is not a portcrystal at the capital, and if you go there before you're "supposed" to the oxcart is disabled, so it's a little more intense than you might be ready for.

It really is fuckin' wild how, as I'm closing in on Level 40, so many of the players are putting up pawns around that level with no specialization, bad vocation skills, no Pawn quest, and dogshit starting equipment. Whoever these people are, I am not going to hire their tiny hot gal in booty shorts, she's garbage. Also, is the MainPawn thing a joke that I'm missing or...? Edit: just discovered the MainPawn thing is what happens when you don't set a pawn name and only set a moniker. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Mar 26, 2024 |

The game isn't realistic and there's not a single open world game that exists that has got even 10% of the way to really representing an actual functioning real world. What you're basically doing is the equivalent of "so wait, in GTA 4 New York just lets people mass murder their way through the streets and then hits them with a fine? How would this even function?" no poo poo! If you're asking these questions then you've lot the plot, the feeling isn't there, just quit dude. The game isn't for you.

johnny park posted:I'm not the one that brought up the ludonarrative aspect of the encounter design, lol There's a gigantic gulf between "having encounters every 20 feet means that the world is supposed to be a dangerous and hostile wilderness" and "but how would the economies of these 'capital cities' (each of which seems to house 300 people max) function?"

Yeah for a game with 5 years in development I'm honestly a bit taken aback by how few trash mobs there are. It's taken me a while to get there, to be fair.

CharlestonJew posted:Idk if this has happened to anyone else but my main pawn just randomly drops dead sometimes. Full health, no enemies around, no cliffs nearby to fall off of. Boom, guy just drops dead instantly. A lot of times it's happened off screen but last night he just fell over dead right in front of me. I uh, don't think it's dragon ligma? This happening to anyone else? It always happens around bodies of water, they're being stupid and throwing themselves in The Brine. I actually thought that my main pawn was just "randomly dropping dead" but I finally caught him yeeting himself off a cliff into a lake for no reason.
