I bounced right off Dragon's Dogma when I tried to play it recently, but the concept of the game is so strong and everything I've seen for 2 still somehow has me unbelievably hyped.

I never played beyond one disastrous first attempted campaign with one player who just insisted on insulting and trying to kill every single person we met, but my uncle had gifted me his old players handbook, monster guide etc and I used to just devour the content, and that image of the guy facing off with the dragon is burned into my brain.

Do you have to have a particular base vocation to unlock a particular player-only one? I used the character creator and wanted to make a Mystic Spearhand, and made her an archer since the main pawn I was making was going to be a fighter, and I don't want to find out I locked myself out of what I wanted to do like 10-15 hours in or something.

That poor dude in Melve waited two days for me to "make my preparations" as I kept coming and going from the village to chuck home made bombs at some alligator men who were just trying to get in on the bottom ladder of the property market. Game rules

This game loving rules, it captured me almost immediately which was a relief since the first game didn't. Had to force myself to stop playing after... Jesus Christ, 7 hours? loving hell. Only weird thing I've experienced so far was a bunch of guys I thought were bandits attacked me but they were much better dressed. Once I'd killed them all, I noticed they all had ??? titles and there was an option to resuscitate what I assume was their leader? So I did and he was all pissed at me but also no longer hostile. I haven't encountered friendly fire or npcs turning hostile otherwise, so that was confusing. Toughest fight so far (that I won) was against an ogre, and man that was so loving cool finally getting him down and having my main player mystic spearhand just plunging their weapon over and over again into it's neck till it stopped moving. Game rules so much.

Oh man, I decided to go explore that cavern from right near the start of the game, thinking I might find Ulrika in there and after smashing my way through Dino-Men, skeletons, slimes, and what I assume was a Lich, I dragged my half dead crew into a fight with a loving Chimera... and I won!   I love this game.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:So, how's the verdict on the game so far? is the microtransaction stuff ignorable or does it shove it in your face alot and game worse for having any? is the exploration fun or does it repeat the same few notes constantly? game good regardless or wait to pick it up for balance and performance patches? Played for about 13 hours so far, it hasn't gotten old yet, there is a still a ton of map to explore, I keep running into new things of interest, new quests, new enemy types etc, everything about the game is just firing on all cylinders for me. Also: The_White_Crane posted:I literally have no idea where the microtransaction stuff even is in the game. I would not know it existed if I hadn't read about it on the internet.

A male and female NPC at the main town inn suddenly decided to start just beating the utter poo poo out of each other for like 1 minute straight up on the stage where the lady plays her songs. What passes for entertainment nowadays! Eventually they just kind of stopped, went,"I wonder what I should do now?" and went back to milling around in the inn. In much more frustrating news, I took on a griffon, got it right down near death and then got dropped to the ground and despite appearing to still have health the game just went,"Oh too bad, you died, wanna load your last save?" - I tried the fight again and knocked down one pip on its life bar, but then it just flew away  In much more wholesome news, during another fight I got flung through the air and my main pawn caught me in his arms and went,"Good thing I was here, huh?"

Hulk Smash! posted:My pawn's voice with the straightforward attitude makes her sounds super sarcastic. It's great. Also, as a Warrior she just straight up pulverizes most enemies and just seems unable to die? On the other hand, you get to do that sick-as-gently caress power slide when you zip through some fool goblin while your pawns go

Somebody gave my main pawn an eye patch, which was very nice of them I feel like the closest I have ever seen a pawn get to complaining about another Arisen was my main guy coming back from a mission and reporting back,"We had to camp out every night... it was hard going..."

I'm trying out different vocations so I just don't end up doing the same thing for the entire game, but man Warrior seems so slow compared to Mystic Spearhand. On the plus side, a minotaur sat on me and it did practically zero HP damage and I'm able to turn myself into a springboard for my pawns to bounce up and stab it in the loving eye. Swings and roundabouts.

Silly question perhaps but as somebody who faces paralysis at the thought of accidentally advancing the main plot when I'm not done being a weird little gremlin exploring every inch of the world I can access, if I go to the coronation in Vermund is it going to lock me out of any particular quests (that don't already have hourglasses next to them)?

I was worried that the Bow quest with the elf was gonna be having to like run and jump and hit targets in motion (myself and the targets) or something so the fact it was just literally shooting a single target and the elf dude going,"HOLY gently caress  !" was hilarious.

Communist Thoughts posted:whats the most fun or strongest class in peoples opinion? Got warrior up to level 7 and finally had enough and switched to Archer because it was just so slow. Turned my main pawn from a maxed out fighter to a babby Warrior and he's much, much better at it than I was. Mystic Spearhand has been my favorite so far though, getting to toss the whole party behind forcefields, use telekinesis to turn enemies into weapons, and that speed skid/teleport was so much fun.

Ran into a drake in the middle of the night while trying to level up new vocations for me and my main pawn. Turned into an absolute shitstorm but we managed to get it down to 2 pips of health left and I was starting to feel we'd worked out a good rotation of attacks to keep it on the back foot... and a loving Griffon flew by and went,"Oh poo poo I have GOT to get in on that action!" and that lead to a horrific series of midadventures that left me dead and having to reload my old save  Anyway, later I went to the griffon's house and beat the poo poo out of him to teach him a lesson  RubberLuffy posted:I somehow missed Myrddin and his house in my first run but found him in NG+. He locked me out of his house so I jumped onto the balcony and went in through the second floor, but this really made him mad so he tried to kill me. I left the way I came and thought things were okay, but when I went by his front door again he came out and yelled at me then my Thief pawn jumped on him and stabbed him to death. I just ran into this quest, he told me to go find some books (I had just sold half of them because "when am I ever gonna use these books?"  ) and my pawn said,"Hey I know where one of those is, follow me!" so I followed them... back into the house, where Mryddin told me to gently caress off for trying to rifle through his things. Thanks pawn! I hope I haven't hosed myself!

Had to take a little break but back into playing now and I arrived in the desert city with the entire party including myself mostly walking dead, but I had also finally maxed out Archer on top of Mystic Spearman, so I decided to switch vocation to Thief and change my maxed barbarian pawn (also maxed out Fighter) to archer to take advantage of the gear and skills before walking to the inn to have a sleep. Every. single. step. I took people ran up to me to declare something needed IMMEDIATE attention and when I finally dragged myself to the inn another cutscene of a guy popped up to say,"Hey, you can't drink at this tavern... unless you can beat these three guys in a handicap brawl!" I didn't even want to drink at the tavern! Luckily I had already unlocked the Maister skill for Thief so despite having zero experience I was able to make myself untouchable and just go ham on them... at which point ANOTHER cutscene popped up of a guy showing up and going,"Hey! This is unfair, I'll step in to fight with you!" and then he... disappeared and was nowhere to be seen as I had to fight ANOTHER guy who was now fully healed. I beat him too, ANOTHER cutscene happened of the tavern dude going,"AHHH! The other guy who showed up and didn't do anything is too strong, let's leave alone this weakling who just beat up four dudes by herself without being touched once, she got lucky!" and then the dude showed up again and said,"Now now, no need to thank me, maybe you could have handled it yourself without me... maybe. Pray we don't meet as enemies one day!" He didn't do anything! Anyway, then I went to bed. I love this game

I didn't know there were some places you couldn't use a ferrystone from, so it cracked me up recently when I tried to use one to go from Sacred Arbor to the Border Checkpoint Rest Town and it went through the whole animation but instead of porting, you and the party just crane your heads up and down as you watch the stone just fall to the ground and sit there

So Thief is just straight up the cheating class, right? I'm untouchable with the Maister skill, I'm tearing through everything I fight, and we took out a Drake in record time and it didn't land a single hit on me

I got an escort quest to take the old warrior guy from the first village who you helped relocate when your girlfriend got run out of town for a walk, and harpies attacked us and he got knocked into the ocean. He didn't get brined, but he was lying unconscious (I think they put him to sleep?) and I couldn't collect him because it would start to brine me, so I moved away in the hopes he might get teleported closer to me... but then I got the escort failed quest and I can't find him now. Dude hasn't died and had his body eaten by the brine or something, has he? He was a cool old dude and I'm worried I done hosed things up for him

I've had good luck with them up to this point, which is why I was worried about this one. I'll keep an eye out for them. Probably my favorite was when the lady from the first village asked to go for a walk and she got stuck between an oxcart and a wall. I picked her up to move her, and instead of the usual "sack of potatoes" animation the Arisen scooped her up in her arms like she carrying her over the threshold

Nuebot posted:NPCs you do quests for gain a lot of affection for you which leads to them walking to your house a lot. For elf guy this means he has to walk from elf town through ogre infested woods, across bridges and through the goblin covered roads to reach your house. Oh poo poo they actually do the physical walk? I went back to my old house in Vernworth and found a present left by the elf dad with a note about he really appreciated me helping his son, and the thought of him striding through all of that is terrifying.

I'm always impressed when I come across a new little touch that the devs took into consideration. Haha, I just did that quest (still on my first playthrough) and when I completed it one of my hired pawns went,"Oh I'm so glad things went right here, my own master failed when they tried" which felt like a little passive-aggressive dig at their boss.
