NeurosisHead posted:fwiw the character creator at least holds a steady 45fps at 1440p for me on my (very long in the tooth) Ryzen 5 3600x and RTX 3060Ti. That's the recommended CPU according to the steam store page and better than the recommended GPU, and the texture setting certainly seem to be absolutely cranked up, so I'm pretty hopeful that active gameplay on like, medium settings without ray tracing or anything will be attainable. And if it's not, well, I needed something to push me over the edge into buying a thousand dollars worth of computer parts that will be obsolete in five years and maybe being hype for DD2 will do it. Sweating with my 2080ti here and looking forward of playing DD2 this weekend with settings that make everything look like playdough.

I'm thinking about going Mystic spearhand this time. In the first game I played Big Sword Man and while that was fun, I want to switch things up a bit. Looks like it'll be a combo between fighter and mage which is incidentally a type of class I've played a few times in games like Dark Souls / Elden Ring.

The performance is pretty terrible. I'm running a 2080 super and a Ryzen 9 3900X and the rig is 4 years old, so it's not a powerhouse by no means - but I've been able to play stuff like RDR2, Cyberpunk, Starfield, BG3 etc. with very good graphics. DD2 doesn't look like a very impressive game either. A bit disappointed since I was really looking forward to it, at least in the first sequence you get control the FPS bounce about wildly from 35 to 55 or so. I have no idea would it be better to wait or just bite the bullet and accept it's never gonna be a lot better on this PC.

So currently there is no way to just start a new game, huh? I got a good idea for me and a friend and our pawns just after starting, but from what I read Capcom are "looking into" adding that option (although it was in the same post as looking into performance...)

I had some real magic voodoo poo poo experience ; when I tried the game last night, I got like 30-50 wildly fluctuating FPS in the opening open world sequence with the goblins... and now after making a new character with the save deleting, I got very steady ~60-70 FPS in the same section, felt really smooth to play. Only difference I can think of was to set my screen refresh rate to lower than it actually is (120/144), taking the frame limiter off and playing on windowed fullscreen instead of full... I didn't touch the settings beyond that, since the game started out in some 600x400 window again and I had to adjust it. Perhaps it will dip back later. But definitely left me a lot more optimistic, even if it does take a hit later on, but if it'd be like this for open world, it'd be very enjoyable even on my old rig (ryzen 3900x & 2080 super). Made a beefy warrior named Batsu (which funnily enough was in the pre-made sound list) yeah yeah, not original, sue me, but I am thinking I can top out the party with a white-haired dude and a black-haired gal from the pawns list pretty easily.

Should I try and get a full pawn party right at the start after making my own? Or just roll with the main pawn for a while? I guess the RC costs will stop me from hiring, say, Ralsei's level 28 mage (looks great btw) ?

Had time to play a few hours last night, ran a lot better than me initial run, which left me carefully optimistic. It did take a dive already in Melve, so how'll the capital be, but open world was fine. Still kinda learning the controls, only level 9, but I added my pawn Couscous to the spreadsheet if anyone wants to take her along. e: G3UTQ2RH93NA

Nuebot posted:How do you start that quest? I found that hut and they just kept complaining about eachother at me. Well, they are immune to physical attacks, and once my elemental weapon buff ran out, they just slimed me and I was "caught" in them and got stunlocked and died. It probably didn't help I had huge death penalty racked up. Eventually managed to get through the cave. To start the quest, the old woman just leaves after a while and goes to the hill where the big statue is, I could talk to the girl when she was gone and she started the quest. She does mention to bring the grimoires when the granny is not around, so maybe it even fails if you don't? I'm traveling with Ser Gregor now and he said we were supposed to get an ox-cart, but it's nowhere to be seen. I remember others talking about an ox-cart, so is this actually a consequence of me dawdling around before going on his quest or is it just a scripted thing?

Thundarr posted:It started with me just giving a random elf my used bow, and now he's giving me flowers and blushing when he sees me. Was it elf in the capital who had some kind of archery coming-of-age rite coming up and he taught himself the ways of human archery? Do I need to change my vocation to archer to do his quest, is there gonna be archering involved? Also do update the spreadsheet for your pawn levels, I tried to have some Garfield in my life and he'd jumped from 12 to 22! So were the three others I tried so the list is kinda moot if the levels aren't accurate. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Mar 24, 2024 |

I realized the riftstone right past the Mountain's secret right at the start of the game (Riftstone of Potential) shows pawns that have never been taken out on a quest. How daunting must it be to return to the game and never see your pawn get picked up. At least the next time I play I have to see if I can help at least a few fellas out (assuming their pawns are at least geared and have something easy like a days travel quest!)

Sloober posted:thief is great and considering everything you can do as one yes, yes i do. honestly just how badly you can manhandle human sized opponents is great. yoink/gutstab I think this is where I'm at right now. I'm in very early game still, just got the three main quests from Idris Elba but mostly I've been running around the forest outside the big city trying out various classes. I still plan to be a warrior, but I did archery for the quest for the elf (and despite it being powerful against bosses, I also found out I don't like aiming with a controller) and probably will try thief next. If nothing else, at least I can get some juicy passives out of it, I guess?

I was doing A Trial of Archery with Glyndwr and what kept tripping me in the final part was that I kept trying to pick up the father, and did not see the sister lying in the ground... was wondering why she kept escaping me. All elves look the same with my graphic settings! It was a fun quest, put the portcrystal in Sacred Arbor to save on some travel time if I want to go back. Although I only got two ferrystones left after returning to the capital. I'm thinking whether to just buy ferrystones whenever the sundries shop has them and just try and find armor and weapons in the wild?

I got an escort quest from the elf, thought I'd ride the oxcart with him but then the quest failed. Maybe he didn't have money for the cart? Then I get an oxcart quest to go deliver a letter to Melve and Sir Lennart, and no more than a minute after departure a griffon trashes the cart! (first griffon I killed, too). I wonder if there's another cart ready to go or do I need to walk there myself

What can I do in the Caged magistrate quest when I entered the jail from the tunnel, get caught and got thrown in jail? I still have the key, but the magistrate just gives me a book but doesn't talk to me about the quest. Also, I'd really like my armor and stuff back? Am I meant to enter the jail some other way?

I managed to get forward in the quest by putting on my courtly clothes (I don't have a guard uniform) and just walked through the palace courtyard to the tower, there some NPC said Captain Brant told him I'd be there (??? missed this plan completely) and let me through.

Ms Adequate posted:Took a quest to go with an oxcart back up to Melve and thought "Okay this'll be a milk run, back to the starter town? ez money" and a few minutes out of town a griffin screeches and swoops in like a loving Tomahawk missile to one-poo poo the cart and ox. We won the ensuing fight and I am here to assure you all that just barely clinging to the back of a griffin while it flies around trying to dodge lightning strikes and fireballs and making an attack run on your party is exactly as god drat See, I described the exact thing happening to me just a bit earlier, so I'm thinking it might be scripted? Or just some dumb luck. It was the first griffon I killed, one got away earlier, perhaps it was the same one? It was funny that the quest NPC didn't acknowledge this in any way when I returned, he just thanked me for protecting the cart. It was funny going back since it felt like the quests Lennart had were more like starter quests, giving you a tutorial to throw a pot etc. but I had not been back since leaving for the capital. Even tried to go and kill that first cyclops because I have a goon pawn who has a quest for it but it didn't spawn anymore. Trenchdeep posted:I've found that you kind of have to use terrain to get the height, or just bring their face down to you by punching their knees in. Is grabbing onto the enemies' legs and try to topple them actually a thing? The game seems to indicate it is, but even on my warrior, I have no idea if it's actually doing anything. Or does simply hitting their legs a lot count as stagger?

I'd like to play the archer more but what's putting me off is that you have to buy the special arrows. It kinda creates a feeling of "do I really need to use this outside of boss battle" and if I don't, then I have two skills to use in regular combat (currently dire shot and upgraded barrage). Maybe that's it. I also can't seem to pull off the special jump backflip attack, my guy just does a high kick like in Mortal Kombat instead of the backflip if I press Y/Triangle.

I don't even think the distances are that bad? This after doing some elven stuff and running back and forth Sacred Arbor. I just tend to run past mobs if I don't feel like fighting them, but the basic goblins die pretty fast should I engage them.

I got to level 26 and only now beginning to feel like the main quest is moving somewhere. I should go to the coronation but apparently this is a point of no return so I should finish up some quests. I haven't found anything for the witch-in-training so I hope that stuff turns up later. A few quests definitely refer to later locations. The main quests from Brant have been really short in hindsight and I kinda wish I did them a bit earlier. They're mostly just walking around and talking to people. Also pretty tempted to use higher level pawns from goon friends but I am gonna try to find some closer to my level. Haven't had as much time to play so a lot of people are constantly talking about stuff I have no idea about. But I would like to see something new besides Venworth now. And maybe find/buy some new armor, my warrior is still rocking mostly his starting gear and the big spiky mace you can buy as soon as you enter Venworth.

I just started walking west and ended up in a checkpoint border town and everyone showered me with quests immediately. I plopped the portcrystal down because gently caress making that walk again. But I probably should finish up the Ulrika quest and the coronation before continuing stuff here more? Everything in the shops is a good improvement, but costs sooo much... my warrior is level 6 now, but I'm feeling the slowness in regular fights. Also been leveling mystic spearman and now I have some new abilities to try with that vocation.

The innkeeper and pawn guild guy have been occasionally missing for me, turns out they were out fighting monsters that started to spawn in Venworth. Last time I went to the inn to use the storage (my house is too far) there were a few wolves waiting for me. Also got a nice escort mission from my beloved asking me to take her to the exact same location I just ferrystoned away one minute ago

re: quest Till death do us part The dice was loaded from the start, I had absolutely no chance of making it. We fought in the darkness, surrounded by water, and the Dullahan warped immediately next to the bridge where people kept falling into the water. I fell in twice and apparently then Gregor fell and the fight was over. I understand there is a chance to save him, but I certainly had none.

How do I loot the castle vault? I have the key, but there's an immortal guard (Azorka) who I can't do anything about, she just teleports me and cannot be attacked. People online say to kill her but no attack does anything, nor does throwing a barrel at her.

I'm level 32 and still get killed by slimes in the waterfall cave because the mage in my group doesn't give me a fire buff for my weapon. No idea how you're supposed to deal with them if you don't have it. They swarm me, drain my stamina and then my health.

How do you get on the western canyon path past checkpoint town? It looks like there's a path down there that bypasses the town and leads to Battahl, but I can't find how to get on the actual path there, I can get on the ground level past the cave but then I reach a dead end. e: aaahh, I didn't scale the cave right side up properly.

Is it actually worthwhile to level classes just for augments? My archer is level 5, and I'd get the weak point extra damage augment at level 8... but I'm not really feeling archer in general. I've maxed warrior and have mystic spearhand at 8. Basically I know I need the archer for the sphinx fight but other than that am I wasting my time trying to grind for that augment?

Basic Chunnel posted:So let’s be real: is Mystic Spearblade better or worse than Warrior when it comes to (a) face tanking and (b) yeeting guys around w/ attacks? Also do blunt Warrior weapons have greater yeet potential? Bc that’s what I would like to see. Big sweaty men bumping meat Honestly I've been playing both and I still don't know which I like better. MSH has all the mobility (and the bubble) but then again warrior is just so drat brutal. It feels so satisfying swinging your weapon around and send small mobs flying or stand on top of a big mobs head and whack them in the face.  I have a pretty nice barbarian look going in Bakbattahl. The game even feels like it runs better here. Maybe it's just the capital or Venworth cities they stuffed so full of everything they run like poo poo.  A fun thing about the game is that no one absolutely gives a gently caress about what you do. You can steal everyone's stuff or even accidentally shoot an arrow in someone's gut.  Right after arriving at Bakbattahl I change my vocation and immediately get challenged by some guy. And I have to fight this dude while naked. But no worries, I just pin him into a corner and punch him to submission!
