Why the fuck does everything take years and years to fucking murder in this game? It's absolutely tedious to try and whack the shit out of something for 15 minutes and do little to no damage.

>>324176253
To me the side quests are actually engaging and makes me want to do them. I don't just skip over the side quests because I'm eager to see what I'm lead to next. I can't say the same about DD really. Doesn't mean I won't play it (I'm playing KoAR and DDDA both right now), but I'm enjoying KoAR exponentially more than DDDA at this moment.

DD is a DnD inspired old fashioned dungeon crawler.

You should try something a little more your speed OP, like staring at a wall or banging rocks together. If you're too retarded to 1) Smack it on the eye 2) Smack it while it's on the ground, or 3) make it run over the edge,I'm not sure you should be allowed to post on the internet, much less give your pointless opinion on something you tried for 30 seconds

You're in no place to judge both games if you haven't even finished them. KoA has really bad combat when compared to DD and the world manages to be even emptier, while DD has some really unique areas, KoA has no such thing. Plus KoA is really generic fantasy, DD seems like the same at first glance but it actually represents classic folklore monsters like few games do.

Only your main pawn does. you don't need to replace them every single level. They'll still be useful for at least 5 levels. Or you can just purchase pawns 2-3 levels above your then you can get 10 or so levels with them.

I am playing on Hard and that ogre had like 1/4th of his last bar when the fight started. The hydra fight ended abruptly after also about 1/4th of a bar was gone. These fights took one or two minutes. Is my game broken or are you people complete shitters?

Ogres at first seem more daunting, they move faster and they deal alot of damage

But they are super predictable and prone to falling over.

I couldn't get past those boulder bandits trying to get to Quina so I figured I needed to go to the main city first. I got there and went to the pawn guild/got some new armor and I ran the everfall. Suddenly I find out I lost the quest to help Quina which was complete bullshit because the game keeps saying 'if you find yourself stuck on a quest do another one it might help' every time there's a loading screen. Yet they didn't mention doing quests locks you OUT of other quests...

I was following the quest where I have to rescue that irrelevant whore you meet in the fishing village, and my pawn told me to "check out whats down that path", and so I did.
There's literally no excuse for an enemy 1-hit killing you so early in the game. There was absolutely zero build up in difficulty, it's like I transitioned from starting area to end game just from walking up a hill.

You DD fags are petty as fuck, I really can't understand how you can defend such a shitty design choice. Refunding this dog shit game.

The Bandits shouldn't be one hitting you, and here is a hint.

You can avoid them easily. The forest is an area with lower difficulty enemies than the bandits and provides you with good early game loot

The reason why those bandits are so hard is because they're a deterrent

Congratulations, you actually failed at being an Arisen. That is literally a plotpoint you proved.

You don't even know..

Guess why open world travel is shit? The game was designed so originally you would grip giant snakes and flying creatures to get around the world, learning migrations of these giant things to know where you were going.

The storyline used to have like 5 more choices than what we got in the end. You were supposed to go to the moon and fight new creatures there too.

Majority of the enemies at the start of the game you just have to run past.

Don't even bother trying to fight the literal cohort of bandits that are in your way to the witchwood.

There is your problem. DD doesn't enjoy this idea of "Branching paths in the same direction"

The Bandits you're trying to fight are supposed to be tough enemies for a level 14-15 person in decent armor going for another quest focused around the castle the bandits have holed up in.

Running around them is easily the best choice, this isn't Skyrim, sometimes discretion is the greater part of valor friend, running away and living is better than dying.

The game LITERALLY tells you if you're struggling with a quest to do another one and come back to it. I did two other quests and suddenly I can't go back to it? I hate it when games have pointless lock outs.

I crept past the bandits and finished the quest in the forest . What loot are you talking about? The only enemies in the forest were wolves amd spiders and aside from spider venom I didn't get shit.

Srill walking around in starting cloth gear and some slightly less shitty daggers I bought from a blonde bimbo, who by the way had bigger tits than the ones available in character generation.

I don't remember dying and crying about it so much when I first played the game.
Maybe only when I faced Matt Daimon.
Are people, on the videogame board nonetheless, really so bad at videogames?
>>
>>324179759
No it fucking isn't, every enemy in the game has a certain weakness, being it a body part or just elemental/physical weakness. Literally kill yourself for shitposting this hard.

Get better pawns, they don't level up with you like your main pawn does.

Get better gear. You're kinda limited here since gear is kept behind main story quest progression. Though there are drops that can be more powerful.

Get better skills, see the inkeep and spend that discipline.

Enhance your gear, all that random crap you pick up from defeated foes? Stick it in storage and use it to get as much gear to 3 stars as you can. This greatly improves their stats and makes them lighter, weapons being the priority.

Exploit weaknesses, every monster has it's own vulnerabilities. Cyclops for example are pretty vulnerable to electric damage, hitting their legs can topple them and their eyes are a weak spot with almost no defence.

Ogres are covered in flammable fur and are susceptible to poison, their face is a weakspot and when they are on their back they have little defence.

Just fight smart. You sit a mile back plinking away with normal arrow shots and no shit it's gonna take forever.

>>324179843
Well, the cave you directly use to get out of Witchwood contains a greatsword.

But I can see you're going to be fucked in DD with this zero initative.

What's the best inclination for fighters?
>>
>>324179564
It's not even a question, shitloads of the complaints are from people who have blatantly never played a RPG without level scaling before.

This is the "PC master race" on /v/, folks, Skyrimbabies.
>>
>>324180094
get pawns that will protect you or either go out to attack the enemies while you stay back and get ready to cast. also if you get the shit knocked out of you, then use one or two ogre bones, to stay standing. also if you get pawns with utilitarian and the same spells as you, you can multicast spells to get them out way faster than solo and with more power.
>>

>>
>>324180390
Scather I think, the one that favours up close combat with larger enemies.
>>
>>324180385
at the entrance of the map during the quina quest they show this glowing little circle thing that you can attack. quina even says something about you destroying them. if you get rid of them, the fog starts dissapearing from the areas they were in. eventually you can remove them all from the map clearing any and all fog.

What's up with this Quina quest? Does it have a time limit before it becomes unavailable or does it stop being available after you do a certain quest or what? Because I'm talking to Adaro here and he's not giving me a quest.
>>
How does the scaling work for party size. My party bugged out and alone i could easily killed enemies with a couple of hit that took me way more before.

Should i bother with the fourth party member i do not really need or should i just go with a three man party?
>>
>>324180632
Nah, Red Dead would be more straightforward and fun overall. Things like that would be endorsed and actually talked about, not shitposted.

>>324180346
Drakes?

Tis weak to ice.

Hit the wings, then hit the chest.

Good luck fighting him under level 40 though, he's harder than the griffon by far.
>>
>>324173373

Climb on his back and attack his head/neck area. Drop down, recover your stamina, then do it again. If you have ranged or magic, attack his eye.

Literally every monster in the game has weaknesses you can exploit to kill them swiftly. If you just spam attacks at their shins like a fucking moron, of course it's going to take forever to kill them.

You being pants-on-head retarded doesn't make the game bad.
>>
>>324180346
The drakes,wyrms Abd wyverns are my favorite enemies in the base game, each one represents a base starting class because they were all human in the past.

Now to killing the Drake on devilfire Grove. If you are a ranges class shoot at his heart while he is in the air preparing to breathe fire, if you ate rolling melee pop some demon periapts qnd hammer his heart until it breaks.

Also, he's pretty much a midboss tiver enemy, dont sweat if youre having a hard time
>>
Something like Scather/Challenger wouldn't be bad if you want an aggressive pawn.

>>324180702
Oh my god I think I know what you're referring to. I tried interacting with it with E and nothing happened so I moved on. Quina didn't say shit about it btw

in a matter of speaking yes. if you go forward with the story too far the quest is failed and removed from your quests. this can have negative effects on future quests for you.

>>324180297
> Shitty game design.
Well, every enemy has a weakness, and if I found an enemy too hard, I'd try to debilitate it first. The game provides you with a lot of items that inflict status effects, and unlike traditional turn-based rpg's you're free to move around and evade attacks.
As I said, I only thought that Daimon was kinda bullshit with him roundhousekicking my face and sending my pawns into oblivion, but then again I was playing a warrior against him and I was kinda fucked. So it was all a matter of gitting gud and exploiting his weaknesses.
In resume, if you suck less, maybe you'll enjoy it more.
>>

Jesus fucking Christ that's dumb. I really, really don't want to start a new game for this shit but I know for a fact that that will frustrate the shit out of me for the rest of my playthrough. An off-hand comment by an NPC that doesn't even give you the quest is not a good indicator that you need to go all the way back to the starting village in order to pick up the quest.

I'm just now trying to lay siege to the capture castle full of goblins and cyclops, fuck my life.
Fuck, my fucking life.
FUCKITYFUCKFUCK. This shit is FUCKED.

Managed to get the door open, managed to survive long enough to get told to chase down the goblin chief, only to meet yet another cyclops that pushed both my pawns off the castle wall to their death.

Like any good Arisen, I chased down after them to my own death as well.
Really sucks, I hate fleeing, I hate running like a bitch.
I want to kill these assholes but its nearly impossible between everything going on and having babysit the pawns.

Am I just going to randomly fail this quest as well if I just keep fleeing till I meet up with the chief?
>>
If you're all seriously this fucking bad, go back to Cassardis and buy some throwblasts/dragon's spit. That shit will wreck pretty much anything you're having issues with. If you want, friend someone who is actually good and rent their pawn for free.

But the hint in no way even implies that you need to go back to Cassadia. The hint is "She's in the forest, I hope she's okay" or something like that.

So yes, it actually does tell you.

Also it gives you a fucking indicator on the map man.

It gives you a fucking quest marker.

that was probably your fault, but this game design is absolutely awful.
i've played several games (risen for example) where enemy level scalling didn't hand hold the player and therefore you could sometimes face thougher enemies - but you would know before fighting them because a.) they would be in a high level place where the enemies would get tougher at every single fight OR b.) their height/armor/aesthetics in general would imply they were strong - none of those exists in this game: you can be fighting enemies weaker than you, then after a wrong turn you might be fighting satan himself.

but it's a weeb game published by capcom so you this type of problems were pretty much impossible not to exist.

I failed it after reaching Gran Soren not knowing it would close that soon. Kind of bullshit considering when I went and tried to complete it earlier the later packs of bandits on that road were unexpectedly too hard and killed my whole party.

Here were your options:

>Do the other quests around town, complete as much of the bulletin as you can, and explore the well to level yourself up
>Once you're capped out on things to do, tackle each set of bandits in small chunks
>Prepare yourself before each encounter, instruct your Pawns when to heal, when to fall back around you, and when to attack
>Keep banging your head against the wall until you eventually progress all the way through
Or,
>Run past everything
Or,
>Experiment, try again at night to find that the Bandits all return to their keeps, and instead you'd have to deal with much more manageable wolf packs
Like the other anons said, the bandits function as a wall to deter you from progressing that way until you're actually ready. Either be more crafty, be more adventurous and experiment with different things, or just ignore it. Don't blame the game for trying to organically teach you how to go about certain encounters.


Also, if you just went ahead and followed the main story with the plan to come back later, then the quest would disappear. THAT'S actual bullshit,

At that point, the best way to change the inclination is to just roll out and do the actions for the primary inclination you want.

You can. There are throwable knives and fireblasts in the game.
>>
>>324183437
It might also have had something to do with those chunks' movements being tied to your framerate, so a slight drop could cause the time freeze to activate when that thing was right in your face and you still had two more QTEs to go.

It's always this way when a playerbase gets a new game, no one is willing to accept the game's flaws and the only argument they start spouting is your run-of-the-mill gitgud.

There's only one exeption of course, and that's when the game sucks so bad is not even defendable. Obviously this is not the case with DD, but is the game really as good as some faggots in this thread make it out to be? No. I played it on the ps3 and while not being a piece of shit, is not really anything to gasp at, just a really average title. But holy fuck some of the shit you read in this threads is hysterical, especially if count the fact that when it was console-only no one really gave a shit.

The amount of people complaining about health sponge enemies is hilarious

When fighting a cyclops did you ever try climbing it and striking it in the eye?

When fighting ogres did you ever think to use fire?

When travelling the roads, did you ever think where they always seem to lead?

When fighting wolves, did you ever consider that they might hunt in packs?

The only real sponge opponents I've come across were dragons and wyverns but a long fight with them is to be expected

>>324183506

Its not like I dislike fighter, Im still learning how to play properly, right now all I do is using this charge skill, sometimes followed by that "slash + backstep". I dont even block, since my character covers the vision and I still cant get used to block with left alt (inb4 "change keys" - I cant really think of more intuitive one, in Dark Souls, I was using Shift key to block, but here Shift covers running).

I miss dodges/rolling, would save me more than once.

As for pawns, I already use Warrior pawn from Steam friend (Queen dress + HUGE hammer, she send everyone flying), Strider and said main, Mage pawn.

Should I stick to Fighter until I unlock the last rank, before trying other classes? Since Im at level 13, I assume that there is too late for minmaxing anyway.

If you don't like blocking, you're not going to enjoy fighter or Mystic Knight, who get great fucking advantages from causing a monster to take a critical block and then follow up with unleashing some serious pain.

Fighter is more like a slow and steady melee character than say the Assassin/strider or the Warrior.

You're not supposed to lose your ground as the Fighter, and the shield skills are pretty valuable for that.

But one of the late skills for the fighter is Dragons maw, a skill with invincibility frames, and alot of damage VERY EFFECTIVE.

Fight has decent traits.

Really Traits > level stats for characters, early late class traits are a godsend, so I would focus on a vocation type ( the colors ) and use them

I use Left alt because it's also a Menu for the shield skills.

So time the left alt click to when an enemy is attacking, get that sweet critical block, then follow up with some Shield skills.

Dragon's Dogma is a game where you have to figure some shit out on your own.
As you do things, your pawn will learn from you.

For example if you climb the cyclops and stab it in the eye you'll down it easily. If you stab his head/neck, you won't do as much. If you sit on the ground slapping his ankles like a fucking retarded mongoloid who has no imagination or lacks the ability to think a little bit then you're going to be there for a long time.
Your pawn will remember things like this, or he'll remember which enemies are weak to certain elements
My pawn for example was a mage that I customized to enchant my sword with whatever elemental weaknesses our enemies had.

Ogres, for example, are weak to fire. If you're shitting the bed against one try dousing it with oil and burning it, or tricking it to charging off a ledge if there's one around

The fact that this is causing so much grief on /v/ just proves how casual this board really is.

Well, I have an i5 750 and need to have it set to low, otherwise it drops to 40 all the time.

Everything else is maxed and with low distance always 60fps.

Getting optimal Magic Archer build means that you don't even get to play it until level 100.
If you don't want to minmax at least get augments from Sorc that gives you 20% more MATK.
Also few levels as Assassin probably doesn't hurt.

There are sort of two builds for Magick Archer.

Either you go burning man mode, with Physical/Magic mix and ride monsters all day.

Or 2hu laser mode.

Burning man benefits from a ton of stamina and shit from the yellow vocations

2hu is pretty much mostly blue.

For a moment I thought I could plug in xbox controller (have one since around year but only played two games and in general consider it bad idea to get one) but at the other hand, one day I could try out Strider class. And aiming with mouse is superior, as everybody knows.

If you're around level 20, I advise going into the underpath mine, you fight two ogres, and if you're really unlucky/stupid fight them at once, but there is terrain to help you and the education into fighting Ogres translates well into fighting everything else.

Otherwise, I'd look at board quests and fill them in.

How many times does it need to be said? Level up stats account for almost nothing. The difference between min and max is like 15% of a decent BBI weapon. Just play what you want when you want, it's a singleplayer game that isn't even that hard.

If you still want to ruin your own fun to make your numbers more optimal most MK skills scale of strength not magic. Even magic cannon only uses like 40% of your magic stat.
>>
>>324187219
>howw come only 4 enemy types?
Oh trust me, you're going to run into a fuckload more. You're only at the beginning.
>>
>>324182480
Yeah, this. I don't play games with level scaling ever, but usually RPGs are good at letting you know when an enemy is out of your league. I expect a damage sponge when I see a huge dragon or golem. I don't see why out of a dozen bandits, 11 of them should be weak pussy shits and the 12th is nigh invincible.

Dragon's Dogma is the quintessential example of bullshit /v/ hype for a game that is utter garbage. All the goddamn shitposting in Witcher/Bloodborne/Whatever threads about Muh Dragon's Dogma and its supposedly amazing combat and great boss fights. All the hype for the "definitive" PC version with 4K and 60fps to overcome the console limitations. And here it is, we finally have it, and it's a fucking shitty janky awful action RPG with shit encounters, awful hit detection, awful combat flow, and monotonous grinding.

He isn't. You're too low level and have shit equipment. Run the fuck past him or knock him down and throw him off the small cliff. It won't kill him but it will prevent him from chasing you. Then just book it to the witchwood and forget about coming back to that area until you're stronger.

>>324187375
It's how defense is calculated in the game. If his defense is higher than your strength, you do exponentially worse damage going down to like 1. This is a problem early on for some weapons because you literally can't punch their their defense. As you get better weapons, upgrade them, get better stats, augments, etc this quickly becomes a non-issue because enemy defense never really gets better but your offense does.

Then in BBI, defense jumps up again and it can be a problem again for certain weapons. Especially split damage weapons, where going half-and-half means it's just that much harder to overcome either defense.

That said, running past enemies like that is a good idea for a while. Alternatively, you can stagger him, pick him up, and throw him off the cliff. Can't defend against gravity.

There aren't enough games that where if you fuck about and don't help the village it gets razed.
Not enough games where the maiden will be sacrificed to the blood god if you don't save her and not enough games where you can experience a negative outcome that means something changed other than a rewind to the last save.

Portstones are warpstones, Eternal Ferrystone is the item you can use infinitely to warp to a portstone.

So, basically, plop a portstone wherever you want to warp to in the future (though it might take a few hours until you get your first portstone via quests/merchants/etc) and then use "Eternal Ferrystone" for unlimited warps.

TL;DR - Limited warp points, unlimited warps

You place portcrystals where you want to be able to travel to. Then you use ferrystones to warp to them.

With Dark Arisen, you find like 5 portcrystals throughout the game, and the cost of ferrystones was reduced dramatically making fast travel really common. Also there's an infinite ferrystone. Just put them in smart places. Another fun thing you can do is just keep a portcrystal in your inventory, place it when you want to go to town, then when you're done warp back to the portcrystal and pick it up again.

You dumbshit.
When doing escort quests, you sprint like a motherfucker.
I took the Mercedes escort quest at level 18 and just bolted past the Chimera and the wyvern and had 0 problems.

In my menus under damage, there is a number and another number after it in brackets. What does the one in brackets mean?

Assasin is OP level. Once you get Gouge or whatever it is any enemy you can climb will just keel over. Also best growth rate in the game from what I've heard.

Mystic Knight is my favorite vocation to be honest but it's tricky to use. You'll need to set your spells up or else you'll eat shit. Learn how to block properly too.

>>324189030

I havent played the game in about a year and havent had a chance to start the pc version yet but im pretty sure it doesnt matter and you can generally do quests in whatever order

>>324189030
talk to her a few times and she asks you to talk to their kid, then you have to keep finding the kid and keep talking to him

Then talk to the guy who gave you the quest in the first place afterward

Jesus.

Well i killed the cyclopses anyway, though it involved a lot of "i can't move" and "help, arisen!". Now i just need to keep the fucking captain alive.

>>324189030
Convince her kid to be fine with it.
Then sleep in the inn 'till morning, talk to her again, and then run around gran soren for 15 minutes because that asshole is nowhere to be found.

Priorities instead of full completion is how I manage to get through these kinds of games.

Give her time nigger, go sleep.

Use your brain, dummy.
>>
>>324189464
For me it involved a lot of lighting from the sky and no resistance whatsoever from the cyclopses. Stunlock is too strong.
>>
>>324189579
go back to the main quest giver and he gives you a bullshit "you just wasted your time for nothing" option to finish it, just make sure you have 80,000Gold

Drown her in the sewers.

I managed to drop them to the ground fairly easily a lot of times, also with sky rapture i could always hit their head

Also magick cannon helped a ton

At least in DaS you could actually see how much damage you dealt on the monster
>>
>>324189646

Strider is the best class. The Jumping spin ability (helm splitter?) destroys everything plus its always great to cling to shit
>>
So I just killed all the female bandits in the big fortress/gate because their leader attacked my male arisen.
Read that they will actually give you a quest if you dress up as a female.
Will they respawn later and will they be neutral again or not?
If not I guess I'll just skip the quest and continue with the main story.

>>324189675
>doing that
But anon, doing that means they die during the endgame

They fucking deserve it anyway, that's literally the most pointless, annoying quest in the entire game.

This

I wanted to go MK, but after playing strider from the beginning I can't bring myself to switch it.

I thought that was the only option, I had to sell some decent stuff to make that gold

Warriors only need 3 skills.

>Corona Slash (AOE)
>Indomitable Lunge (closer)
>Exodus Slash (evasive)

Arc of Deliverance is cool and all but pretty impractical. Warriors have great normal attacks and combo ability. Ranger pawns are necessary for Metal Golems.

Rest of the skills are pretty useless

Smart skill usage and knowing how to use your surroundigs will get you trough this game, eh?

Pawn death timers are generous, they didn't even die for real
