MeatwadIsGod posted:I want DD3 to have Schierke-level spells where the cast time is 5 minutes but you conjure up a giant flood that washes away every monster in a mile radius. Huge  It's actually the only series I've found so far where i prefer the magic system to the melee one. The melee is incredible, don't get me wrong, but something about the spellcasting and magick bows really grabs me for some reason. The closest second for me as far as magic systems go is the soulsbornes

High Seism is one of my go-to big area damage spells and always on my warfarer. Its damage is way lower than it should be but it's still good enough, and it can take a golem to its final phase in just a few casts, even just 1-2 if you get lucky

Yeah? I've always figured they correlate with their experiences. With the exception of that "the Arisen didn't get poo poo done lol" bit, I've heard dialogue from many pawns that align with comments your pawn can make about other arisens. "always carried a heavy pack" relates to when pawns tell you they would fain carry your burdens (I always kept them at Very Light, and myself hovering around average to heavy) "tight purse strings" relates to the pawns constantly commenting on your shopping habits etc. Haven't yet had any of them go "lol loser" yet though

Phlegmish posted:Well, it's possible, but I would consider that to be a best case scenario. I can personally confirm that, at the very least, they make things up when there's not enough to work with otherwise. Someone once hired my pawn just to give them a gift, then immediately sent her back, and when she came back she was all 'I put my skills to good use' or something to that effect, when in reality she hadn't done anything at all. Interesting! That makes sense i guess. One time my pawn came back saying that they hadn't really accomplished or done anything during their brief visit, i wonder why it didn't give you that Gonna chalk it up to pawn jank No Dignity posted:I think about half of the boss monsters I've fought at this point have denied themselves to the Brine, first Drake fight I could have actually won and it just decides to die and stop me looting it -_- (Griffon flies into the sea of its own accord) Masterful work, Arisen!

toasterwarrior posted:Any real tricks for handling the Big Dogs? They're not particularly challenging, but they are annoyingly spry and seemingly have a mountain of HP. Reminds me of zombies, but zombos at least eat poo poo from holy damage. 2-3 fully charged saggittates to the head usually does it, or spamming high seism to keep them off balance + burst damage while your pawns tear them to shreds E: high seism works surprisingly well for harpies when they start circling within 5-10 m or so off the ground

Warfarer as-is is awesome. I def expected it to work the way everyone else did at first, but I think the limitations give you interesting choices. It let me discover my perfect build: archistave primary for spells and traversing, magick bow for putting lots of damage on a specific spot, and duospears for when I've gotten separated from my pawns or taken the Wakestone Express (leaping off a cliff to save travel time). Also when I'm wanting to mix it up melee style for a bit. Always-equipped skills are high seism and saggitate shower, and the third I'll swap between high levin, thundermine, or ricochet shot, depending on need.

TeaJay posted:Just finished the game, clocked in 59 hours (at level 59). Liked it a lot! Ending chat: Yeah, I'm not clear on the connection of the Pathfinder and the Brine, but it sure seems like the Pathfinder was the cause of it somehow. From what I can gather, the Pathfinder might have been some godlike entity that was just treating that spot of land like his own personal dollhouse and watching reruns of his favorite Arisen vs. The Dragon show unto eternity. Without any other explanation I have to assume the Brine was just a means of control to keep people from escaping dragon hell. Not sure where the dragonblight/pawn-goopdragon comes in to play here. My impression is that it represents dragon control/influence (I think possibly by Grigor himself?) so they tear up the city during the game. But in the ending, after Grigor has been killed(???) by the godsbane when you go to postgame, I guess your pawn still has some bit of the dragon's will in them, which has become their own? I'm very unclear on that whole deal Separate main quest, non-ending/postgame spoilers: I sympathize with the plot to break the cycle of the Arisen, because it's a poo poo system that should be overthrown and replaced. lmfao that Phaesus' genius loving idea was to make his own Arisen-on-a-stick and summon a puny diseased dragon imitation, he was never going to win even if Grigor hadn't shown up.

Hah, neat, if you're quick enough you can grab the Sphinx and ride with her to her second spot. Took about 5-6+ full stamina bars to hold on that whole way, and she takes a really roundabout route, but it was very cool and scenic. Then I hosed up the sphinx riddles a second time because I didn't realize that one dude in checkpoint rest town had a toothless twin

Yeah I can't get over how the first time I hosed up the riddles because she asked how many she'd asked me so far, and I had the right answer, but I apparently didn't put the statues in the right place or something. Oh well, I'm not loading an inn save or starting another NG or NG+ for it. I'll probably wait til the DLC comes out, then try again after beating that.

Jack Trades posted:The dragonblight sass is extremely noticeable, even if you don't give them ANY orders. The pawn will just completely randomly go "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" without you having to give any commands. The first time I got this, I thought it was because I'd long ago gotten impatient with my pawns and was using the dpad to give them orders at every turn. I was really impressed for a bit that the game would react to that. e: something weird happened to my Till Death Do Us Part quest. quest spoilers for a very early game quest, possible bug: Since it was NG+ and I was over level 80, I sprinted straight to the Illdoer's Resting Place and murdalized the dullahan in no time flat. Dude thanks me for saving him and says he's gonna go home to his wife. Soon as he scampers off I ferrystone back to Vermund and run to the wife to close the quest out. I see husband and wife together already (maybe he had a ferrystone too), and they're both giving their regular NPC barks when I try to interact, and the quest isn't advancing. In the quest details it's still got the circle over the dullahan location, and dude's soldiers are still hanging out there doing nothing, and... well that's the state the quest has been in for the past two in game weeks. Not 100% sure what I did to bug the quest, maybe the immediate ferrystone before waiting for some quest trigger to occur, or maybe killing the dullahan? I don't think killing it should affect anything but the quest details do say you don't have to kill it, just survive. But I'm suspecting the quick ferrystone did it.
