Ok guys i hope i’m not being a nuisance but it’s better to be safe than sorry,i was planning on getting a new computer just for DD2 (and of course other games but really DD2)

And i don’t want to spend a fortune if i can’t even play it so with that said,would this computer be up to scratch?

I’m not looking for max settings and 4K poo poo just a steady framerate and medium settings (full screen prefferably).

from the sounds of it the keys aren't allowed to get distributed until near when the game is unlocked, which doesn't make sense given how the packages are handled on steam - but that's where we are

looking forward to flying into free soon

GMG has confirmed keys go out at release time and no sooner for DD2. Fanatical said about the same a few days ago.

is there a way to get more specialization tomes? I switched from chirurgeon to logistician and I kinda wanna change back

Clocks posted:

Curious if anyone knows as well. I haven't changed specializations yet but... since it's an item, maybe it's possible to buy it again somewhere?

illusionist feels like a pet project that started from someone having a cool idea for a vocation without giving much thought to how it'd interface with the other vocations, because "use magic to distract and debilitate foes" is a great napkin pitch until you remember that high hagol exists and does the exact same thing but better

This loving sphinx. She told me to find this weird looking guy and I was like, "Hell yeah, I saw that guy at the checkpoint town! I thought he had a quest or something he looked so distinctive."

Off I rush to grab him and ferrystone back to her and she brings up the image of who she was looking for. Identical, nailed it. Then they open their mouths to smile and the one she wanted was missing a bunch of teeth.

I guess I'll have to try again in new game plus if I ever get that far.

Thanks!

Also, oh man, quests... I'm level 45 and I haven't even started the story quests, because I'm terrified it'll cause me to miss side content. (I know this is irrational and who cares, but wow does this game feed off of a certain category of crazy.)

Bunch of questions:

1) Anyone do an assessment of the augments yet? I run melee classes but I maxed out Archer for the climbing poo poo augment as well because of course I would like it for melee shenanigans. I'm also eyeing suffering through maxing out Mage just for the stamina recovery speed augment, which can very well be an issue as a melee character unless you go insanely hard on chugging stamina items whenever.

2) Warfarer, how does it work? Do you equip the weapons you want, and using their appropriate vocation skills switches you to that weapon? Or do you need Rearmament to be able to switch weapons and thus movesets at all? I was thinking of a Fighter/Warrior hybrid, with Fighter's dashing stab and climbing monster stab, with the Warrior's shoryuken. If I don't need Rearmament, I'm slotting in the Fighter's autoparry or an Archer skill just for those goddamn harpies.

toasterwarrior posted:

What do you mean quickly? If I'm not using Rearmament, does that mean I'm switching weapons (and thus skillsets) by going into the equip screen (which IIRC can't be done while in combat)?

Phlegmish posted:

Got a quick q about Golden Trove Beetles. There is supposed to be a cap to how many you can consume, but I've explored most of the map, and I don't seem to have reached it yet. Is the cap just the total number of beetles in your game, to prevent you from achieving ludicrous endurance limits by getting beetles from other players?

Sixto Lezcano posted:

Do I need to worry about wrapping much up before doing the Coronation quest? Kinda eager to proceed with the MSQ since I'm outgrowing my surroundings, but also, having seen people mention the story kinda ending abruptly, it's hard to gauge where I'm at or what i'm about to commit to.

Ricochet is incredible indoors/in caves, and singlehandedly clears rooms ahead of the party.

Frost Seeker is really good single target DPS since it passes through walls and floors to hit the target, and was my go-to when outdoors and not willing to burn HP for the Martyr shot.

Didn't really end up using anything else since those three carried the game so hard for me.

Worst enemy type to deal with were the late game Saurians since they resist magic a fuckton but even Frost Seeker would generally either stagger or freeze them for my Warrior pawn to apply greatsword.

I don't know if it's just reddit in general, but I've been following the subreddit for the game since it came out, and it's weird how it's been dominated by these cycles of outrage. First everybody was really upset about the microtransactions, then everybody was really upset about dragonsplague ruining their saves, and then they were really upset about the lack of enemy variety.

I get that sometimes there's a topic du jour that people will bat back and forth for a bit, but at its peak, it seemed like at least half of the posts in the sub were one form or another of complaining about the game. Like, if reading the sub were your only exposure to the game, you'd think Itsuno personally went to every redditor's house and shot their dog or something. Not to say that the game is flawless, but I've just been over here enjoying the journey (literally and metaphorically), climbing on big monsters and savoring the hammy pawn banter. It's like reddit wants to hate the game, for some weird reason

So, I'm a bit stumped on one of the sphinx riddles and could use a hint: What the heck is up with the parent "riddle"? I can't even begin to guess what the hell it wants for this.

Also, when does your "beloved" get locked in this time around?

Unlucky7 posted:

I will say I do not like how long my character takes to get up. The first game had a Fighter skill where you can get up quickly if you time it right. Does it still exist?

What's the earliest I could feasibly get to the Magic Archer quest & be able to complete it? I mean, if I am of very average ability.

Also I think Hugo got bugged, he's in jail but refuses to talk to me, refuses to leave even if the door is opened, and the head jailor attacks if I get too close to him.

there are a bunch of new boss-type enemies like the sphinx and medusa.

insanely rare (I think there were like two the whole game?)

I'm not trying to be argumentative when I ask this, and I ask this question out of sincere curiosity of your view: Why?

Why does exploration have to offer anything beyond the exploration for explorations sake?

So then they don't need to do it?

Do what you find rewarding and satisfying, don't do the stuff you don't find rewarding and satisfying?

Post game question How do you get the merchants to inhabit the seafloor shrine town? I evacuated Bakbattahl and Sacred Arbor but no one is there yet, do I have to use one of my precious rests?

Question about the postgame:

Am I under a time limit here? Can I rest and sleep to get my HP debuff off or does it advance a "timer"?

Ytlaya posted:

I've Drawn and Quartered this Medusa's head 3 times now! Don't understand why it won't come off.

Ytlaya posted:

I ended up only getting a regular head, also with just me attacking and my pawns waiting.

It's possible the spot was off a bit during some of the attacking, though; it's hard to tell since it's so dark.

Edit: Is the Preserved one needed for the sculptor's quest? Mine says it's power of petrification "remains in full."

Deified Data posted:

I assume the light that appears in the sea shrine at the end leads to the point of no return?

Edit: Does the timer stop at this point?

Mr.Pibbleton posted:

I need some help with the end of the game, I stabbed myself in the heart while riding the dragon and got to the unmoored world, evacuated everyone, then closed all the red portals, pleasantly surprised that there were new boss enemies in the world, but now I have no quests left, nothing to do and I read I should see a final red portal at the seafloor shrine, but nothing is popping up. Is there something else I need to do to trigger this?

Ytlaya posted:

I came across an interesting quest reaction for the Myrddin quest. If you already did Trysha's stuff and got Meteoron (or more specifically you just have Meteoron, in my case from NG+) Myrddin notices and gets mad at you if you either don't tell him who taught you or reveal it was Trysha, and doesn't teach you Maelstrom.

But if you're wearing Trysha's ring, he instead spends some time reflecting on his relationship with Trysha and afterwards still teaches you Maelstrom.

worst part of MA is that quick shot is ABSOLUTELY useless, for some reason they didn't give it the auto tracking that archer has so you basically can't hit anyone with it

Clocks posted:

Yeah, they did an amazing job on her animations (and the sound effects/music/anticipation as she leans down to stare at you).

Thundarr posted:

Based on some endgame spoilers I accidentally moused over, is it correct that if I stop all but one of the red laser beams, I have as much time as I want to gently caress around in apocalypse world? Or am I on a time limit no matter what?

And I guess does talking to water shrine guy get me stuck into sequence of events I can't get out of?

Stormgale posted:

The point of absolute no return is the red light in the seafloor shrine that spawns after evacuations are resolved

As to the first question Ive not tested but my understanding is: stop all the red lights (including talos fight thing) stops the fog advance, but You still have limited rests before it will just stop letting you

acksplode posted:

Question with late game spoilers: I'm in the unmoored world and haven't met the sphinx yet. I googled its location up in the mountains but there's just a few locked chests there. Did I miss out?

I'm trying to do the one where you have to escort both the dwarf and his wife at the same loving time, which means no shortcuts. I just want to throw both of them in the ocean but alas there is no more ocean. The worst part is I have already escorted both of these fuckers to the exact same spot on different occasions. It's like a double dose of an already crappy mission.

There's just so many layers of why the escort missions suck imo. First off there is nothing interesting about them it's literally just busywork. People need to get from point a to b with no context and little reward. The destinations are far, the rewards are low. But the worst part is how easy it is to lose track of NPCs. They are slow as gently caress and the trek is so long it's easy to just forget about them or they die to monsters. If they die their marker disappears and you have to just cross your fingers that you can find their body, or abandon the quest, then get them from the morgue and do it all over again. If you let them get too far behind they just walk back home (and usually just die along the way)

Best case scenario for escort quests is wasting a ferrystone to get them there quickly for a reward that is far less valuable than a ferrystone.

can I launch my pawns up to things? will they do stuff up there like release ladders or collect poo poo and open chests? I could burn a skill slot on that when I do warrior/fighter
