WAY TO GO WAMPA!!

Feel like everyone is going nuts over mystic spear hand, magick archer, and trickster and I'm over here grinding my teeth in anticipation of just playing a fighter and warrior again. I'm hoping there are (positive) changes to all the classes but I think it's gonna be really tough to tear me away from the most basic of basic vocations in this game, they just felt so good to play in the first one.

I'm beyond loving hyped for next week. Can't sit still, can't stop messing with the character creator

Hell, same. I mostly played as Strider last time, so this time I'm planning to be a basic bitch Fighter -> Warrior. I'm stoked for some melee.

My cave dwelling characters are ready




Nice! I've been stuck on my steam deck but hoping to get back to my PC in the next few days for some final tweaks in the creator. Seriously thinking about making my pawn a fighter as well and we'll just be two melee bros out in the forest unable to kill harpies, it's gonna be great.

Yeah, I built a new computer specifically for DD2 with a 7800X3D and am excited to see it truly get tested since I've only really been playing Last Epoch, otherwise

god I hope my poo poo doesn't blow up

Hacked my way through a goblin cave and came out the other side at night time. Was pretty low on max health so went looking for a campsite I could set up at but ended up just stumbling through a bunch of tallgrass where I got jumped by more goblins, then some wolves joined, and then I aggro'd a saurian who immediately knocked my mage out. In the middle of this massive melee I hear a totally new monster cry and turn around just in time to get run over by a charging minotaur :allears:

I love that they've incorporated some of my favorite skills into the core of the class, like tusk toss just being a hold X move is incredible. The melee combat feels so perfect in this game and everything feels expanded beyond DDDA.

A couple comments based on posts I've seen:

Inns feel expensive at the start but eventually you earn more gold so it doesn't really matter. Sell some fangs or something if you need to and give your pawns a rest. The first big city also has a house with a bed you can buy for 20k gold (and another pricier one for later).

Just bought this and feel it was totally worth the investment after selling some scrounged armor, weapons, etc. I was a habitual over-sleeper in DD1 and it has not changed here, but holy crap is 2k gold a lot for a night at the inn.

It is actively amazing watching some of the pissbaby meltdowns over dragonsplague lmao, its like dragonrot back again.

Itsuno putting in a 'being lovely to your pawn and not paying attention has consequences' system and getting screamed at that he's scamming people and that they won't buy the game until its removed is such a hilarious indictment lmao


I'm pretty sure one of my hired pawns had it with black eyes/red pupils and some blood dripping from her mouth and I immediately dismissed her to be safe. I ended up dismissing my other hired pawn because he had a full helmet on and I couldn't see his face to check.

Overall, I think it's an interesting mechanic and it just requires that you...pay some attention to the world around you? Literally, talk with your pawn every few days and you should be able to catch it before anythign bad happens. Really incredible seeing the insane tantrums on reddit but I guess that's unsurprising.

Finished the game and post-game last night and was really happy to see that my romance choice was totally out of the blue - the warfarer maister Lamond. Which, thinking on it, I actually really like that it was him and not Ulrika or someone else? It felt kinda fitting that the credits rolled out and the arisen who wasn't skilled enough to defeat his own dragon got to meet and help someone who did (me :slick:). I'm assuming it was him cause I did a single escort quest with him before I rolled into the end of the game, but while the credits rolled my 2nd option was Eini, the grandma of the little girl you give spellbooks to north of Melve, and THEN Ulrika, the woman who I saved multiple times, saved her first village, saved her second and installed her as chief, had a romantic cutscene with on the beach, etc.

Overall, the game was really cool but I think even with all it's shortcomings it would have been difficult to truly disappoint me since I loved the first one so much and was happy to just see a sequel here. I think there's a lot of places the game can certainly be improved and I'm pretty optimistic that a good, hefty expansion will help out a bunch.

I had more fun with the spearhand once I stopped using the invulnerability shield, went full aggro zipping around and picking guys off and let my pawns fend for themselves. Still definitely couldn't take a hit but I also couldn't be hit :shrug:

I'd love if there were some tweaks to the bolt so it was more clear how far it traveled or just so there was some kind of better feedback when it connected. Was always unsure in the chaos of a fight if it was really helping much, especially when uncharged.
