I was riding the oxcart and got ambushed by a cyclops. Well during the fight the oxcart got turned over, but managed to not get destroyed. This distinguishes it from a previous incident where I was playing warrior and charging my big upward slash move, and the oxcart ran into me and promptly exploded into a million pieces when I release the charge. I figured I was probably screwed, but I walked over and there was a button to "Aid Oxcart", which set it right and re-attached the ox. Cool! Except the cart won't move because we're in a narrow canyon and there's a giant corpse directly in front of it, and apparently I can't doze off to skip past that. Enjoying the game but I wish there was some more enemy variety.

I get annoyed when I get pawns that don't have any enchantments on their gear, like what are you even doing with all that gold and upgrade materials if not at least throwing a few upgrades on everything. Those robes you found at level 10 can do with some standard Vermundian upgrades you don't have to wait to unlock Dwarven forging dammit

I wandered past the woman who sells you a house and bought it straight away because the inn was like 10k gold or something absurd like that. I haven't slept at an inn there yet since I have the house already. There's another inn that has a more reasonable price, closer to the vocation guild.

I got attacked for looting a chest in the goal basement. The guards walking around didn't seem to pay attention to me until then. I ran away and waited a minute or so and they promptly forgot all about it and ignored me while I finished the quest to talk to the guy there.

Tabletops posted:the hugo questline kind of mildly upset the completionist in me because i couldn't figure out how to get him a job, so i ended up reading on the quest online and found that one of the methods is impossible for me to do because the quest has a very short window of completion and the other i had already finished in a different way. so he's just gonna stand out there forever i guess. if anyone's curious about the short window questline it's whilhelmina's quest(s) after the coronation but before you leave for battahl. basically have to do it while you have the "nation of the lambent flame" main story quest, and before finishing it. if you don't you can't complete wilhemina's questline which locks you out of finding a job for hugo later. she also just loving disappears completely eventually if you don't do it.. Hmm, well on the one hand if I missed that questline because of MSQ progression then I'll need to restart my game, but on the other hand I already have a lot of interesting ideas I could do to get amazing items early on if I do restart so maybe it's not so bad. Khanstant posted:Does that ranking make a distinction between pawn and arisen bc it's very different for either. I don't wanna stand around in a robe and charge a spell, but I'm happy to have a Pawn do that sort of busywork for me.

The one thing I asked for that I didn't see mentioned here is I'd like a better ability to freely rebind my abilities and maybe even more ability slots. Four feels a little limited. I didn't mention it but I also think perhaps augments should have more impact, but that's something that's probably easily moddable. I like more incentive to level alternate vocations and mix/match the passives, it was something that kept me grinding in the original Dragon's Dogma, sure, the combat itself is generally engaging, but I find that I lose interest in even the most well-designed content if I don't have a goal to work towards.

That quest to give the kid the medicine never gave me the reward it was supposed to and one of the quests to give the dude a bunch of books didn't give me one of the rewards it was supposed to either Some of the rewards require you to find a specific NPC and have them engage you in dialogue again. Though I never got the logistician tome from the guy outside the church-ish building either, it seems like maybe sometimes the triggers don't fire right.

I actually find the pawn chatter/behavior generally endearing and I'm like 40 hours in. I've never had them stop mid-battle to high-five though, it's pretty consistently when a fight is over. Sometimes it's repetitive but not that often. There's a pawn specialization that makes them not talk somewhere in the game, though I don't think I've seen a Rift pawn with it yet.

I feel like I'm just mindlessly spamming Magic Missile and everything is autolocked/auto aim. You can change vocation at almost any time you can access one of the NPCs that lets you (usually at the Vocation's Guild, or innkeep if the town doesn't have one).

tbh the thing I'm really sick of is just wolves in general, it seems like every time I finish fighting a goblin group I take 10 steps and hear that howling that signals another insignificant fight The pawns can either talk about them or not I don't care, I'll take "ours is a party of women" over that because at least it means I have a moment's peace

Originally I thought it was the last one you spoke to but data I found searching suggests it's the first one to be referenced in the code.

I'm getting an annoying urge to restart my game, not because I messed anything up or missed any quests of note (that I know of) but because I think I could do the early game a lot better now and I didn't name my main pawn anything special (and the pawn's name is apparently one thing about them that's impossible to change). Maybe I can hold off on this at least until they patch it so I don't have to bother with any cloud save shenanigans or mods.

It just happened a minute ago so maybe he's lying dead on the floor or something idk. Way to kill all my motivation to play the game capcom. If it just happened a few minutes ago you should probably just wait on a bench and see if they come back after skipping some time. If not then check the morgue, it takes a bit for the body to be moved there.

Yeah, if he's dead this should fix it, and if he's not dead just leaving the area for a bit and coming back should force him to go back to normal But honestly one innkeeper being gone is a fairly minor inconvenience as far as the game goes, there are other ways to rest and access your storage in that same town eventually (and until then you can go to other towns)

I think some pawn personalities just sit down sometimes and that's not necessarily indicative of the plague. My calm inclination pawn often scolds pawns that are sitting down. On the other hand I did run into a pawn that was actively complaining about the orders I was giving and I dismissed her right away.

The strength of mystic spearhead is that it can be immune to everything and make your pawns also immune to everything. It doesn't stagger well or have huge deeps but nothing will ever kill you unless you let it.

Thundarr posted:There's actually two legit copies of Death Knell of Nations that I've found. Another is in the Waterfall Cave near the start of the game, guarded by a wight. It's the same place, the cave near the start of the game has a chest with Nation's Death Knell and Howling Blizzard, and opening the chest triggers a fight with a wight. I believe it's also the same place where you can encounter a chimera very early on, if you miss the cave you might not see one for a long time.

Most of the Steam reviews are due to performance issues and microtransactions. If your rig can run the game well enough and you ignore the MTX (it's very ignorable but there's a lot of it when you look at a list) there's a good game in there.

Khanstant posted:There aren't any, unless a goober broadly calls all pieces of DLC mtx, but these days I think most folks make a distinction between some optional crap you can buy outside the game, and mtx that's actively part of the game design and fundamentally inescapable since not doing mtx purchases still involves earning mtx currency through gameplay. I dunno I feel like calling currency (rift crystals or w/e they're called) purchases "DLC" is misleading. It's all super irrelevant but it is there.

Broose posted:I think for my next playthrough when they finally release any big DLC I will get a mod that decreases player XP earned from small mobs (but leaves vocation XP the same). I've just got done exploring everything in Vernworth and about to do the coronation, but I'm already level 40+. The big guys are nothing, and I have a feeling what I meet in the desert will be the same. I don't really have a problem with the difficulty, but I outlevel everything so quickly just checking every nook and cranny. This could be a big help, in my repeat run I'm like halfway through the initial Brandt quests but I decided to wander off to do the Sphinx riddles, unlock Trickster and Magic Archer, and put portcrystals down in the Volcanic Isles/Bakbattahl and generally fart around. Now I'm over level 30 and everything in Vermund is pretty much irrelevant, and I tried to run from most fights but occasionally had to stop and kill some things (I was surprised that I could, frankly).

Elf archer guy is very lucky I was in the morgue looking for Dante's corpse and just happened to find him dead somehow following the Trial of Archery quest (I guess he just didn't make it back to the village?). Of course now the elf guy is in love with me as a result.

Sometimes just reloading the game has fixed strange/seemingly bugged quest behavior for me, other times leaving the area and coming back. In particular there were two instances where I needed a reload: during the Trial of Archery, the lady elf disappeared on me but reloading the game popped her back in. Also, during Tolled to Death, I had already taken the grimoire and couldn't interact with Oskar to give it back to him until after I reloaded the game.

I like the Trickster, except for the part where if I even get slightly tapped my illusion goes away, and then all the enemy aggro refocuses on me. Skill issue maybe, but it can be frustrating. Plus while it's a fun gimmick some of the other classes can just do such insane stuff it seems overshadowed.

I happened to loot "Black Matter", a two-handed hammer, with that quest open, and it popped up telling me I'd found a suitable weapon. Try going to the checkpoint rest town and buying one there maybe? You should be able to take an oxcart there from Vernworth.

Is it normal for people you've maxed affinity with to show up in the hot springs? I found Sara in there but figured that just must be because I did her quest which was nearby, but walking out I saw Lennart and the Trial of Archery elf walking in that direction.Wizard Whateley posted:Good idea! I'll try that. I keep forgetting about that. I've had some surprising guests show up there after I thought a quest was broken. Yeah, I found him dead on the floor on one of my trips to the Ancient Battleground. That and the merchant who sells the Stargazer outfit are two Wakestones I've had to use to revive dead NPCs.
