Dwarves are also hard confirmed to exist, though it's unclear if they'll have anything as significant as the elf stuff.

I suppose it was too much to hope for some actual new info, they seem to have revealed everything they're going to at this point. I just hope it's because they're keeping stuff hidden, and not because that's all there is. Not even talking about vocations, just monster variety.

I wonder if MA is also going to require finding a trainer like apparently MS and Trickster do.

Welp, game's in the wild folks. Some dude with a buddy at Walmart is already streaming it. For my part, it's time to shut out the internet for a week.

Looking at some of the leaker stuff, yeah, pawns have a LOT of dialogue now, including conversations with each other that are affected by their inclination. It's a bit of a shame there's only four of em, but considering the sheer volume it's very understandable. I just wish they hadn't bothered with the pitch shifted voices, they all sound terrible and you just know the optimized mage waifu pawn you hire is going to end up having an annoying maximum high pitched voice.

Phlegmish posted:Well I tend to get attached to my party members in video games so I'm not going to drop a pawn I like just because they contracted a pawn STD I mean, if it works like the original hired pawns don't level up while in your party so you'll have to drop them eventually.

I just hope the game runs alright on my rig, my GPU is up to recommended levels but my CPU is above minimum but below recommended. Hopefully DLSS and lowering some settings will get it running alright.

I'm simply going to close my eyes and hope that somehow my crappy system will manage to at least run okay when not in big cities. And I guess just cry and cope while in said big cities. My poor poor 8700...

Anyways I give it a week before some enterprising modder finds out that the reason everything runs like rear end is because they're calculating the exact physics interactions of the teeth of each NPC in the world at the same time or something. It's always something silly when the optimization is this awful.

Game's definitely a bit choppy on my 3060/i7 8700 system but nothing unplayable with FSR 3. Gets really rough in the capital though, woof.

I've taken to just hitting Go! whenever my pawns say anything. Also if you give a fighter pawn Springboard they'll sometimes suggest using it to let you hit tall ledges which is cool. There's a couple treasures I've seen out and about that seem like they absolutely require levitate tho, they're even too far away to yell at a mage pawn to grab. Bit disappointed in the thief wall jump, seems basically useless for exploration and too janky to use effectively in combat.

Nearly every goon I have as a friend on Steam that was playing DD2 on release had the same idea I did of making a fighter pawn so I had to rely on actually hiring randos for my mage needs. I may need to reclass my own fighter into a mage soon, I guess everyone overcorrected from the mage popularity in the first game lmao.

explosivo posted:Really gotta get used to the controls, I keep wanting to hit RB to bring up my skills instead of LB. I love the Thief's powder keg move, climbing onto the face of an ogre and planting a bomb on it then detonating it while jumping away is just cool as gently caress. I just swapped those. Makes way more sense to my brain that way. Edit: Ensnare is so loving good in this game like holy poo poo. Four skill slots is hard on Thief, I want everything...

Man I can't wait until some of these weirder/more indepth sidequests get explored by a bunch of people online, I'm pretty sure I hosed up at least one or two of em so far.

They want to force you to do the collectathon because the reward for... 50? tokens is a "helmet" that's just a circlet and can be used on any vocation. I know that's the reward I'M aiming for. But until then my pawn is helmetless.

I love/hate how some quests have completely hidden steps or endings. Like how for the quest where you follow around the beggar you can give the clothes back to the guy who gave you the quest, to the fake beggar or, the funniest option, to the fake beggar's wife and that last option is totally unmarked and requires you to have been paying attention to what's actually going on in the quest/the dialog. Edit: I'm also pretty sure there's non-obvious stuff to do on Agatha's quest considering her dialog about the river and what some random NPCs said while I was doing it about some little rich boy who looks exactly like her.

The MTX stuff has been seriously overblown by reviews, it's incredibly unintrusive and essentially pointless. The performance, however, is truly quite bad and in a specific way that seems like it'd be hard to fix, remains to be seen. Other than that, game's great, exploration owns, quests own, combat owns.

I switched off Thief because I needed to be an Archer for a quest and now I keep seeing places I could easily bomb jump to and it's annoying. Also I resolved one sidequest in the dumbest way possible (related to a noble guy being sent off to fight a thing): the timed quest where you have to go help some guy fight a Dullahan. Well. The fight didn't go well but the Dullahan just leaves if it kills the guy for some reason. So I just Wakestoned him afterwards and it counted as rescuing him, heh. Sucks for his underlings tho, who also died.

Man everyone and their mother seems to have found the Thief maister and I still haven't found ANY maisters, including any of the hybrid vocation teachers... (besides the fighter one the game literally points out to you but he didn't teach me anything and I dunno how to get him to do so) Maybe I should actually do any of the main quests at this point instead of randomly exploring and doing sidequests.

Also having played some more I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that DD2 may have the best caves in gaming, period. Really good caves. Definitely in the top 10 at the very least.

Calidus posted:I’m probably just dumb but I have come across a couple quest markers on map that seem don’t seem to have anyone or anything to interact with. Specifically a guy in a tower and a ladder that needs to be kicked down from a ledge. That's not quest markers, it's just your pawns marking ladders. Pawns REALLY like marking ladders. There's not really quest markers in the game, besides the ones from quests you're currently on.

Presumably it's because your main pawn (or hired pawns) can get brined or otherwise lost and then you'd be out in the wilds without pawns or a camping kit. Although tbh there's riftstones all over the dang place so it's not that big of a problem. Of note: While hired pawns auto-toss stuff into storage when lost, your main pawn keeps all their stuff so it's PROBABLY fine to keep it on them.

The omni-vocation circlet you can get for 50 Seeker's Tokens also takes a couple gems. I think 1 onyx and 2 tiger eyes?

It's really weird how few Chimeras seem to be in this game, considering how common they were in the original. I'm like 32 hours in and I've fought a grand total of one. Are they ALL over in Battahl or something? On the other hand, WAY more Ogres.
