Jack B Nimble posted:Will the bow require shooter style aiming or does it support lock on style combat? Or both? I'm not personally a fan of shooting with a controller, but I definitely want to play a third person action game with one. This is sort of the problem I have with GTA and CP2077, where I want keyboard and mouse on foot and a game pad in a vehicle. Bows are free aimed like a shooter but magic bows have a lock on, and for normal bows the first game at least had such generous arrow hitboxes that you didn’t have to be very precise to get headshots

Footage from their own trailers has shown pretty severe frame drops, like DD1 spells on PS3 levels, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up for performance.

The world in DD1 was the biggest place where you could feel the game’s reach exceeding its budget so I think DD2’s world having a chance to meet the devs’ original vision for the game is the most exciting thing about it. a lot of the issues I had with DD1 are visibly still there so I’m tempering my expectations about my gripes from that game going away, but I do think the world is going to be a lot more interesting to explore now

Finally poked around the character creator a bit and echoing that the hair options feel a bit limited next to how detailed everything else is, I’m struggling to make some character lookalike pawns and might just go with a generic pawn instead like I made in DD1 The character creators in team ninja’s recent games let you change the bangs and adjust hair length independently of the overall style which is a really nice feature I’d like to see more of.

ImpAtom posted:There is a specialization which just exists to make your pawn not talk if you're some kind of loving coward. The different things they’re putting in this category are really confusing. the elvish translation one is something that presumably affects quests and lets you see more lore, the inventory sort and auto combine sound like QOL options meant to save time looking at menus, and this one is just something I would expect to just be in the options menu. I don’t know why these are exclusive choices.

When does GMG normally send out steam keys for preorders? I got the fancy version since they have it for about $11 off and I liked DD1 enough to go for it.

I guess nothing would be harmed by adding a lockon but I never felt like I needed one. for big monsters it helps to keep free control of the camera like monster hunter and the game has a little bit of invisible aim assist to turn melee attacks toward an enemy so it’s not hard to hit small enemies without a lockon.

I’m really glad they gave warrior such a major glow up with the monster hunter greatsword tackle and the timed hits thing, I think that’s going to make it much more interesting to play and just hope there’s fewer encounters where the lack of range is suffering/pawns know how to cover for its weaknesses now.

Making a good lookalike is hard! Here's Approximately Alan   Random arisen I made before I decided on a pawn, might try to make a Saga arisen although I've already spent a few hours goofing around in the editor this week and learned I am not on the same level as the people making these

SubponticatePoster posted:The character creator is good, but they really need an option to change the mouth shape. Right now it's tied to the head shape so you can't just switch it without loving everything else up. It was an option in DD1, wonder why they walked that back. yeah, the base head shape seems to affect a bunch of things but it's really hard to tell which one to pick upfront without being able to see how the choices will compare with a certain hairstyle etc. honestly that makes it harder to use than some of the other editors I've seen although it's obviously been shown to be capable of some really good stuff by the people who figured out the right base options to use.

The Cheshire Cat posted:People being worried about enemies you can't damage with physical attacks seem to be forgetting that there were absolutely enemies you couldn't damage with pure physical attacks in DD1 too. This is not a new feature and the fact that you totally forgot about it suggests that it's not actually that big a deal because there were so many ways to mitigate it that you probably did it by accident. There are cases in DD1 where playing a melee or non-hybrid class makes your group mostly or entirely unable to kill something, which absolutely sucks and there’s more cases it can happen than a bunch of posters in this thread are implying, but it also specifically only happened because the pawn feature shipped without AI so they wouldn’t kill the thing that you needed them for. if pawns now understand things like “use ranged attack on thing too far to melee” and can actually cover for your own class’s limitations it will be fine

Digital foundry showed it dropping into the 20s on PS5 hardware which isn’t a moving target. it’s just unoptimized.

Unlucky7 posted:Just had a thought: Are pawns cross platform? Like, can a XBox player use a pawn from a PS5 or PC player? the footage we’ve seen of menus looks like the “search by class” list and pawns you automatically see dropped into your rift are specific to your platform, but you can manually search for a specific pawn by ID on any platform. Don’t quote me on that I don’t have the video clip on hand

I recall a MHW performance mod whose author claimed the game was doing insane things like running over 100 threads at once. be curious to see if anyone cracks this game open and finds what’s going on with the optimization.

Wiltsghost posted:It's not just visuals though. There's a lot more going on under the hood in this game. Those games you mentioned have pretty static open worlds with not much interactivity going on. This game is more like the Zelda games with all the physics poo poo. I seriously doubt the NPC simulation is 4x as complex as dwarf fortress and requires dropping PS5 hardware to low 20 fps without most of that performance being explainable by bad optimization, sorry

I wasn't happy with the lookalike pawns I tried to make so when I got to the pawn creator in the full game I just caved and remade my old pawn Aughtburger, hello again old friend    impressions after an hour are that the performance when outside of the first encampment is mostly fine even on my i7-8700 (in the encampment it's pretty choppy), but I'm surprised how, I dunno, slow things feel as an archer compared to DD1 strider. there's much more inertia to all your movement and slower animations than DD1, which felt pretty snappy by comparison where it was a lot faster to start and stop aiming. has anyone else seen weird results searching for pawns? the servers may be overloaded or something, I sometimes get no results searching for pawns (when pawns who meet the criteria are already in the rift) and I could not get a single thief pawn to appear.

It adds a lot that pawns talk to each other and have some very different lines for being a hired pawn vs your main pawn.

I haven't had anyone hire my pawn according to when I've slept at an inn but he pointed out a chest with dialogue implying it was found from being hired by another player. does the game simulate your pawn being hired or does their knowledge update from other players more often than when you personally rest?

it's extremely weird how much of the snappy action feel they removed from DD1 when that was one of the best things about it. they added long uncancelable animations to everything archer does, made every bit of terrain vacuum you into traversal animations that take away your controls, and removed the core dodge skill while not giving any way out of an infinite stunlock from the first time you get hit, so you now handle more like a vehicle or a horror game protag now. I hope other classes feel better because basically every change from DD1 feels like a nerf so far

lmao at the Riftstone of Robustness that summons a dozen perfect wrestlers Babe Magnet posted:they probably got slimed. Those mfers are NPC dissolvers, legitimately the most dangerous early game enemies for NPCs. They just stand there and melt in them There were no slimes in the cave (it's the one with a chimera and a hidden upper level with a lich) and all 4 of them disappeared at the same time while my pawns were fine, so I'm wondering if I got too far from the quest path so they peaced Anyway I've done another two caves and a bunch of side area since they vanished so I think I'm just going to become a career spelunker instead of looking into any of this "arisen" business

Did a wide circle in the open world to revive my pawn after he got killed by bandits that were 10x as powerful as the bandits directly next to them. just as I reach him a random pawn on the road vacuums me into dialogue and my pawn has timed out by the time I've skipped out of it. big fan of every single random thing taking away your controls

I killed the superbandits by managing to throw them into the brine and then stunlocking the last one with the group. I got the tutorial about reviving characters with wakestones and this dead bandit is the first thing in the game I've had the option to revive. I guess I just broke some quest I'll learn about in 20 hoursKhanstant posted:Man the fall damage is kinda weird and annoying. I keep hopping off this dragon and somehow a little jump less than a thatch but high kills me flat even if I take only a tiny bit of damage when landing it's super weird how the first game let you faceplant and keep trucking but in this one you instantly drop dead from like 8 meters
