I hope there are more vocations than they've shown off so far because I haven't side hide nor hair of my favorite magic cannon.

Badly Jester posted:Pawn voices seem to be tied to inclinations. I'm not missing anything? That's going to be annoying initially. It might just be me, but the voices in this game sound kind of bad in general? Each vocation has like two voices, a masculine and feminine sounding one, that just kind of gets pitch shifted like six times and to me at least they all just have this really low quality echo to them that none of the other sounds in the character creator have.

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. Yeah I legitimately can't think of any because that's how easy it was. More annoying for melee classes are flying monsters and poo poo that's just out of your reach. Which is why I look forward to warfarer. Jack Trades posted:It's probably exactly like the first game in that it's playable with kb+m but works much better with a controller. That's been my assumption, so I guess I'll stick with it.

Just kill everything. New game design philosophy unlock: the more monsters and NPCs you kill, the more you're rewarded with framerate and gameplay improvements. It's only when you finally beat the final boss that you unlock a consistent 60FPS, to lord it over the empty land.

Whichever one of you made Garfield, that dude owns. He kept running ahead and showing me the best places to pick plants and kill goblins. I taught him where a seeker medallion thing was. Also the performance issues seem to be pretty exaggerated? My computer isn't top of the line, I was worried I'd barely run this game - if at all - but it's running just fine, I get the occasional frame jitters but I spent four hours killing goblins and no issues at all. This is my cat, her code is 305RG841TMS8. Lord Packinham posted:Yea, I love the game but I’ll never go to bat for microtransactions, I don’t care how worthless they are.

So I had three beastwren pawns with me and one, and only one, of them just constantly kept chiming in about how "It seems the arisen prefers the company of beastwren!" My character is also a cat. The other two pawns kept telling her to shut up, first in polite ways like "To each their own, I guess?" then eventually more blunt ways like "That has naught to do with this, let's move on." I love the pawn chatter and conversations in this game. Then while we were randomly walking through the goblin infested woods she chimed in about how one arisen she served with before slept around with a lot of different people Khanstant posted:Haha I guess someone did a quest with my Garfield bc as soon as I rested and updated him he was like "follow me" and I almost thought he was bugged but I kept following and following and he lead me right to a quest I forgot I had and he knew some stuff about the area it seemed. Cool! Which garfield is yours? I think there's many. I used one for a bunch last night and he's a good cat.

toasterwarrior posted:Anyone tried running a party without a mage? I feel like you just absolutely need a dude who can heal, and sadly that means I'm either running a party with a single melee fighter while I'm running archer and my pawn sorcerer for augment farming, or I'll have to switch my pawn back to mage in order to keep two melee fighters in play Eat lots of berries? Half my weight is in apples right now and I had to stop turning them into brews so I don't become too heavy to keep going. Anyway, is there any way to alter what's on your item quick menu? Down on the d-pad is your stamina restoration item I guess but it wants me to eat my precious princess potatoes and not the regular garbage ones and I don't want to accidentally waste it. Furthermore: I'm not a huge fan that you can't see how long you have left on your items before they decay. Or that my pawns sometimes just stop following me so wolves can jump my rear end while they stand around congratulating one another on the apples they just found.

Also I feel like I'm doing something wrong, climbing on enemies kind of sucks now? Pretty much any time they move you get locked into a really long "grab hold so you don't fly off" animation that consumes like half of my stamina and also you can't just jump off of them during this animation, so if they do that while I'm at half stamina I get to just fall off and take most of my health in damage then get hit and die. Also it takes most of my stamina just to reach the head of a cyclops or whatever. EDIT: also I just noticed this game is doing a darksouls loving thing. Every time I "load from last save" my health is lower and lower. Lmao that's awful. Nuebot fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Mar 23, 2024 |

More and more I'm liking the idea of playing warfarer if I ever figure out how to unlock it. Earlier a harpy attacked me, I did a jumping slash and spiked it off a cliff into the water and all the pawns I was with flipped their poo poo over this amazing new technique I discovered. I love the pawns in this game so much. Also for how angry people were about the slimes not taking physical damage, they seem to do literally no damage and exist more as a hazard to annoy you

TeaJay posted: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. Oh okay, I thought they somehow had like a secret damage move or something or there were surprise variants that could poison you or some poo poo  they can be a problem like that, yeah. They also slow you down if you're trying to fight the goblins behind them. I kind of like that approach to slime design? That they, themselves, aren't something that will kill you but they're a pretty dangerous obstacle you can kill and it adds an element of picking who to prioritize in dangerous fights.Thanks, though, I'll have to run back to that hut then, maybe granny's outside now.

I really hope they get rid of the life drain thing on reload because it's kind of obnoxiously large. I died to a really goofy miscalculation on my part, and when I reloaded 25% of my health was just taken away. It's not a very fun mechanic in this game at all.

Jack Trades posted:Then don't gently caress up, or use one of the anti-gently caress up items, or just go back and rest at a camp. Okay so we're in the phase of release where even the shittiest mechanics are to be defended like your life depends on it. Volte posted:You can also just use a Wakestone after you die and you'll get your full health back. I wouldn't waste them all the time but if you're deep in a cave and your health loss is terminal, it's an option. I could, but that doesn't really address the issue of the mechanic being dumb in the first place. Calidus posted:I found 3 dead NPCs in cave that I could rez via wake stone. It was very tempting. I'd do it. What if they had cool secrets to share.

Jack Trades posted:Or alternatively other people might have a different opinion that you. You didn't give a different opinion. You gave the lovely snarky "Git Gud" style remark every jackass has since dark souls came out. You took issue with my opinion, then gave me poo poo for it. Happy Noodle Boy posted:Game is about embracing mistakes and rolling with the punches. It’s a choice to make dying actually punishing and it’s honestly a cool handicap that teaches you to be better (because dying isn’t fun!). If this genuinely bothers you this much wait a week or so and there will be a mod to outright remove the penalty or let you heal your max health back outside of camp (I expect the latter to come first). REFramework has been updated for the game so I expect the modding scene to take off properly now. I played the first game, I'm used to quests failing and poo poo, hell I'm even fine with the health loss thing. I just don't like the health loss on restore because it can, potentially, lead to lovely situations like I was in last night where my game auto-saved after I left a cave and as I was heading back to town a cyclops showed up and killed me, when I reloaded I had barely enough health to take one hit from the thing, then I was in prime one hit kill territory. The only thing I could do was either load my last inn save or just not get hit.
