Ground floor!Shaman Tank Spec posted:I really wish there was some good way of sharing pawns and characters. People have made some insanely good creations but there's no way I can see to dump out a preset as a string or anything. I myself made a pretty good Doctor House, M.D. and a passable Will Ospreay. Best method I can think of is taking screenshots of your customization sliders. Yeah, it's kind of cumbersome.

WAY TO GO WAMPA!! posted: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. 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

I will say that the character creator gave me a VRAM warning the first time I opened it, and I'm running an RTX 3070, so it seems like it will be demanding in that regard (on the higher settings at least). Unless it failed to detect my graphics card and was looking at the integrated graphics instead, which does happen sometimes, including in NVIDIA's Control Panel itself lol

Same, I've never owned a controller, so I played the first game with keyboard and mouse. I thought the moment-to-moment gameplay was fine, but they make you use random keys to navigate menus, instead of just letting you use the mouse. Disappointingly, judging from the character creator, that doesn't seem to have changed.

TheMostFrench posted:That came across far too seriously. The pawns are canonically targets of racism or at least prejudice for their unusual emotionless nature. I'm told the game opens with a Pawn slave mine. Now people are using the character building tech to create even more non-human pawns, and I'm sarcastically remarking that I just can't wait to see how they'll handle that. Oh lol I thought you meant more along the lines of accidentally hiring a pawn with the Racist inclination and she keeps hurling slurs at the monsters you're fighting

Putting the final touches on my pawn's make-up, and as always it's hilarious when you drag certain sliders all the way to the right: Don't tell me I'm wearing too much make-up, this is not a phase mom, the Golden Woman is who I really am Before settling on this more boring/conventional option:  e: might tone it down even further, I'm just not a fan of the heavy blush look.

Clocks posted:My memory is pretty terrible so I legit don't remember what I played in the first game. Pretty sure it was strider, so I'll probably go thief -> mystic spearhand (yeah yeah, me and the rest of the world) or try magic archer or something. Or, I mean, since the stat distribution doesn't matter anymore it can't hurt to try everything until I figure out what I like. I followed the same reasoning in my decision to make an Archer pawn. Then it turned out that tons of people were making archer pawns, probably similarly assuming they could stand out this way since everyone else would be making a mage as per usual. Yeah, classic game theory. In the end, I think you should just make your pawn whatever you feel like without thinking about it too much, it'll work out regardless. Mine is still an archer just because, and also because I assume the AI will be competent at hitting targets from afar, possibly more competent than even I myself would be.

Clever Spambot posted:I saw someone earlier in the thread say that inclinations cant be changed in 2, is there a source for that or are people just assuming because its something you select alongside the voice? I really doubt that's the case, in the first game you could have your pawn just sit in a chair at the inn and change their inclinations that way.

Sea Lily posted:I prefer the Pawn system as-is, an AI controlled party member. I don't want direct control over them, depending on them to do their job is part of the fun for me. A Pawn feeling like it's own individual is an important part of why I enjoyed Dragon's Dogma 1 and it's a big part of what I'm looking forward to in 2. They're not just an extra body for me to command around, they're like... my buddy. Taking on the world together. Same. I want it to be like the first game where you enter a temple or something, they comment on how it's a sacred place we should treat with reverence, before immediately grabbing and smashing every urn, vase, pot, or crate they can find in search of loot

There are no options for things like earrings in the character creator, right? I assume maybe they'll be wearable items you can find in-game.

I cannot stop tweaking my main character + pawn at the last minute. Please help me decide on an appealing haircut for my pawn, I'm bad at this sort of thing. Most types of bangs are supposed to bring out striking eyes (and everyone loves Shadowheart's bangs and would never say anything bad about them obviously), so I want that to be a part of it, but beyond that I'm having trouble settling on a specific cut. Tell me which of these three you prefer: 1)   This is the one I have right now. I do like how voluminous it is, but I'm not sure about the way the lower part starts curling upwards. The whole thing seems slightly reminiscent of one of those retro sixties haircuts, which isn't necessarily the vibe I'm going for. 2)   Medium-length, mostly straight but slightly wavy. Not much to say about this one, but I don't consider that to be a bad thing, I often like straightforward simplicity. 3)   This one's very different in that there's a lot going on here - bangs, side bangs, and a braid. I like all the elements individually, but do they mesh well together? I am playing the most difficult game of all, Fashion's Dogma, pls help

Sea Lily posted:I like the second hairstyle the best of that bunch. It keeps the kind of fun messy look without being too retro feeling. Draven posted:I like number 2 personally. Okay, well, it seems people like option 2. I can see why, it's straightforward and relatively short without being outright tomboyish. That narrows it down to either 2 or 3 for me, I think 1 is just too retro in an indistinct way. With 3 I don't think the braid is strictly necessary, but I do like the side bangs, I've always been a Zooey Deschanel fan.

Sea Lily posted:finally settled on my Arisen's look for when the game launches tomorrow night. Decided she's a mad alchemist, who's frustrated that a grand destiny's been thrust upon her when she'd rather be in her lab doing unethical experiments That's really cool, getting Fullmetal Alchemist vibes from the tattoos. For my own pawn, I finally settled on the bangs + side bangs + braid look. I briefly experimented with going blonde but decided against it, the dark hair makes the eyes pop more.   I don't know why I'm spending so much time on this stuff, the game doesn't have a 'hide helmet' feature and there's no way I would ever not min-max my gear. They knew exactly what they were doing when they released the character creator early
