Not with Gaats and Griffith armor anon

going to play magick archer

1-10 mage
11-96 assassin
97-100 sorcerer
101 assassin
102-200 sorcerer

>>323294171
>Gaats
Get out

>>323294071
the majority of people have already played it and know exactly what it's like. the games biggest issue is performance which has been fixed. the hype is justified

>>323294186
>101 assassin
whats the reasoning behind that anon?

Never played so I'll try them all but I like the look of assassin the most.

>>323293984
I'm going to beat daimon 2.0 under lv 70 because I'm not some autistic minmaxer with zero skill

Have fun leveling to lv 200

>>323294786
GATTSU AND GURIFISU

>>323295762
Is that even possible? I don't mean being able to beat daimon at that level, but to even get to it without accumulating xp to push you over that level.

FUCK OFF WITH THIS BULLSHIT ALREADY!

Well, you would have to be pretty stupid if you we're to get "over-hyped" of DD in the first place, the way i see it there are two groups of people who have pre-ordered Dragon's Dogma:

The people who have not played it before and the people who have.

If a person belongs to the first group, he should look the game up, and watch a couple of videos (of any game overall) and get a good picture of the game before buying it, and even then keeping a cool head while doing it. No point in ruining (even an ok game) cause you think in your deluded mind that it's gonna be the gods gift to humanity. A guy like that deserves to have shit shovel in his mouth.

And if the person belongs to the second group (like i do) they pretty much already now what they are getting. One should remember that Capcom isn't doing a multi-platform release, so it's somewhat unlikely that there are any game breaking bugs present on launch, similar to the recent Batman release shitfest. They have had time to program and test the pc version enough, and i doubt it is in their best interests to make a shitty port.

But... i have taken preparations for even that unlikely event that the game is "too bugged". I'm just gonna wait till a couple of weeks/months and try again. It's not like my life depends on getting this game up and running at the next week, though that would be extremely nice since this is the first time i have actually bothered to "pre-order" anything on steam, and to a small extent this will have an effect on me pre-ordering games from steam in the future.

...oh, and because i actually personally enjoyed the console version.

>>323296141
>the way i see it there are two groups of people who have pre-ordered Dragon's Dogma

Whoa

Let's just all enjoy this Vidya, if you don't like it you can go to any other thread. I never got too far on consoles and I for one am excited to play an updated version of it, it was one of my favorite games on console and always will be.

Gonna make a shota ranger with Amazon-like Warrior pawn.

>>323296379
You and all of /v/ it seems like.

>>323296470
I thought people we're gonna make Guts Warriors with wizard loli pawns?

Should I make a Fighter or Ranger pawn /v/?

Love how they did greatswords in DD feels badass

Sorceror i think. Did an assassin run on the ps3, so now I want to test out a completly diffrent playstyle.

What are the recomended ways to level up?

>>323296551
There's no guts armor anymore. And most people are pretty tired of loli pawns.

Amazon is becoming the new loli.

>>323295935
I've beat every everfall chamber AND killed daimon 1.0 under lv 50

So yes

>>323296565
You should do whatever you feel like.

>>323296678
Damnit I wanted an Amazon onee but if it's becoming too popular maybe I'll reconsider. Maybe a magic archer elf?

I've never played this game before and have no clue what it's like. What sort of build should I make for my first time.

Pre-loading is a go on steam

>>323294171
only thing I hate about the pc version is that guts and griffith armors are not in the game

>>323296218
i know Keanu, it's some deep shit.

>>323296739
I'm not sure what I feel like. I am really torn between them.

>>323296678
Protip: there will be a mod to put the berserk armor back in within a week, just like with every PC port that has licensing issues that removes DLC

As for the Into Free song, depending on how the BGM files are setup, it'll also be possible to mod it back in

>>323296837
I'm sure there gonna be way more lolis and generic attractive petite females than Amazons anyways.

Just do what you feel like. That's usually good advice for Dragon's Dogma. Don't overthink things.

The way you make your character effects how you play, short characters have small hitboxes, smaller and lighter weights have more stamina, heavier weights weigh the monsters down more, are harder to knock down and limb length plays into all of this it's pretty fucking awesome for you newcomers to the game.

>>323296963
Yeah but you have to remove another decent set to get it.

>>323296837
Well you can't make a pawn with a hybrid vocation if that's what you mean, but yeah, a good looking elf is always a good looking elf. Take note that i'm not talking about the exact of opposite of a good looking elf which is a bad looking elf. No ones gonna wan't to hire that.

>>32329716
I forgot you can't make hybrid pawns. I'm not really sure about elves because there are those purist/muh spees muhreens/xeno haters who would rather cut their right ball off before hiring an elf.

Ive never played this before and am getting it for PC. Whats the best class if I like to get in close and fuck shit up

GUISE!

What pawn compliments an Assassin? Planning to go full aggro with 1-10 fighter then 10-200 assassin.

I was thinking Ranger/Strider? Will I be able to train them well? will they pick on to assassin stuff?

>>323296889
they are both close ranged classes but ranger have better evasive skills and can fight from a distance while the fighter can block and aggro enemies

Are there any missables in this game or choices I should make that don't fuck up my save?

>omg you did this instead of that now you can't do this quest later on

Fucking hate RPGs that do this shit.

I want to essentially be Guts, what class should I go for?

>>323297680
There's an entire area you can miss if you advance past certain point in the main story, just do every side quest you have before doing the main quests

>>323297418
Would you wan't your pawn to be abused by them in the first place?

..but i ques it's nicer to have a pawn that's hired more often. Gives you a nice feeling to know, that people liked the pawn enough to hire it.

>>323297767
I don't know, perhaps the only class that can use two-handed weapons

>>323297606
It feels like a fighter might always be useful to have around. But I'm planning on playing Assassin so he won't exactly learn a lot from me and I hear that's when they really start to shine.

But a Ranger might. Especially since I'm planning on maybe switching to Ranger myself later. But that also means sharing all my equipment with the pawn.

>>323297801
That's my point. Oh well I still got time to figure out my perfect pawn before the game releases.

>>323297680
>I hate replaying games!

>>323298086
No, I hate games that punish me for making, mostly, arbitrary choices.

I want to stab fools real good. Assassin or Magick Archer?

Will do probably my first playthrough until post game as a fighter, level up the other vocations and finally settling on assassin. My pawn will starts as fighter, level other vocations but end up as fighter again at the end.

Both female to get the feminist bandit quest and avoid ogre enrages at BBI. My character will probably just be generic waifu but I'm gonna make damn sure my pawn is an Anita clone.

Playing on hard from the get go is a must, doing The Hero on my first go, clearing the Everfall before I hit BBI for some alright items and then I'll probably try for as long as I bother to get the best shit once I beat Daimon.

I have a friend that will play it for the first time and we will use each others pawns so I will tell him to make a mage for healing at first but change to sorcerer after a while. Will also make him play on hard.

>>323297680
Make a small character, there are only places they can fit into

>>323298243
>want to stab
>should I play as stabbing class or mostly shooting arrows then stabbing every so often class
Hmm I wonder?

>>323298243
Assassin obviously

>>323298392

Wait. Why are the black bars there? I thought they removed them for the PC version?

Starting strider, then sorc for the rank 9 augments, then MA. MA will be easy mode for BBI, so I can gather monster drops and cursed gear fairly easily, to hand out to /ddg/ players that will need it.

As soon as I beat the hydra, I'm going into BBI to get the moonbeam gem to get the ring of perseverance, and maybe some wakestones, some level 1 gears maybe for a ring, if I'm lucky.

Nope, if you really enjoyed rpgs you would take the risk of fucking up in order to replay the game with a different experience. You just want your handheld and want to be able to make the most OP character while also 100% the game on your first run. I mean that's fine, but it takes away from the experience and shows how dependent you are on "instant gratification". You're probably underage

>>323298824
Ah I see, I see.

I'm against hyping anything, it only sets up high expectations from idiots who will quit the game by the time they fight their first goblin pack.

Besides, this is a game that has been out on consoles for 2 years already, people know what the game play is like. The only benefit from the PC port is better framerate.

keyboard and mouse or controller?

>>323299808
>If I liked Skyrim but didn't like Oblivion
Sounds like you just chose to like whatever you think is ok and don't actually like it.

>>323299808

Combat/exploration is the point, not the story. The story is convoluted Japshit that barely matters.

YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND

>>323299808
>Is it focused on combat and not dialogue/storytelling?
It is. The story is almost non-existent for the most part.

Though the game plays almost nothing like either Skyrim or Dark Souls.

The game is oddly familiar but also oddly unique.

I really can't play Dragons Dogma without a dodge roll. It's not a particularly useful Dagger-Skill but I just can't play a third person action game without one. Dark Souls has ruined me.

Hopefully someone mods it so it's just a generic ability.

>>323299979
>Yes, buy the game a third time you faggots!

It's weird how fucking hyped I am for this port. And that with having less time than ever to play the game after it drops.

>>323300080
You can't fuck up with classes in DD though, you can respec stats and change vocation how many times you want.

>>323299979
i was gonna buy it anyway

>>323297680
Well, sort of. Side quests are locked into stages. The game will warn you before you lock yourself out though.

Plus you can always do them in NG+.

>>323298687

Well, some enemies are more easily dispatched with daggers. The one that comes to mind are dire wyverns, where their heart is located on their back between their wings. Bring them down with a ninefold bolt to the face, then jump on their back and shank the heart.

>>323300161

I heard the classes you level with determine your stats permanently or something though.

>>323300080
Not really. Most of your success lies in the gear and personal skill.

The only really bad way to level is to play like a fuckload of levels as an Assassin then start playing Sorcerer. And even that won't really matter all that much.

6 fucking days argghhhh

>>323300161
>respec stats
No you can't
Once you level up in a vocation those stat gains are permanent
This is why people warn about playing 100+ levels of fighter and switching to sorcerer

>>323299229
I'm pretty sure they added 9 new ones.

>>323300116
Me too. I was never even all that excited for the actual game. But now that I know I really like it I'm just hyped as fuck.

>>323294171
>Gaats and Griffith

>>323300229

Doesn't matter a whole lot, its for the minmaxing crowd. Weapons are the dealbreaker.

For instance you can level as a pure physical damage build and get 400 more physical attack as a passive stat, but with a sword that has almost 2000 its all good anyway.

What you do want to minmax however is your pawn

>>323300450
Yes. You can play a few level as sorcerer if you want to boost your magic attacks, or play a few levels of Assassin to boost your melee attacks but you can easily just play MK from start to finish if you want to.

The game is fairly easy and there is no point in min-maxing.

>>323300450
MK has well balanced stat gains for offense and defense. They'll do a lot of damage, but won't hit like a truck and will soak up a lot of damage but won't shrug it off
actually MK has a trick to do the single most damaging move in the entire game and can one shot the final boss

>>323300543
You need level 10

So how exactly do pawns work?

>>323300132
God I hate these fucking cherry-picking webms. Anyone could portray Dragon's Dogma in the exact same way. Really wish people would stop fucking posting them because Dragon's Dogma doesn't need to be compared to other games to show it's a good game.

Makes your argument seem desperate for validation of more popular RPGs rather then standing on its own merits.

How many anons are doing a playthrough of each class

>>323300696
>tenfold flurry
>stider

>>323300682

You choose their attacks, perks and weapons/armor. They have 2 alignments which will determine their personality in and out of combat, for instance if they go for big or small foes, if they look for utility in the environment or to help you out rather than doing damage.

Beyond that is a very cool system where they actually learn from what you do, so if you want to have a tank fighter pawn you should play a fighter yourself and let the pawn see what you do and they will actually start mimicking your behavior.

>>323300721
Fairly certain that's the console version.

But don't expect to game to look all that good on PC either. The game is just straight up fairly ugly.

>>323295762
>have fun playing the game how you want to, while I enjoy it the way I want to! HA!

>>323300951
>Beyond that is a very cool system where they actually learn from what you do, so if you want to have a tank fighter pawn you should play a fighter yourself and let the pawn see what you do and they will actually start mimicking your behavior.
Stop propagating this utter horseshit.

>>323300849
Eh I can see his point. DD is a good game well within its own right, taking deliberately bland examples of combat from Dark Souls and Skyrim to make DDs combat seem more impressive.

Also if you're new, would highly recommend Assassins. Huge diversity of weapons and dope abilities.

I really want to go sorcerer or mage.

But I've been having a fit/muscle girl fetish lately, so I might go warrior just to make my ideal, strong, independent barbarian womyn who needs no man's approval when she wants the D and will rape you if you hesitate.

>>323301823
Well. You can make one your player and the other your pawn.

>>323301823
My first PC playthrough will be a Red Sonja run

>>323301823
mage is shit apart from it's buff and healing skills so it's very boring to play and should be one of your pawns

>>323300002
Then you might hate Dogma. It actually has hard bits, items actually matter and it's not at all casual.

>>323301120

Planning on playing MA this time around, never touched it on console. Wizard hat and thighboots are mandatory.

Will be playing warrior on hard. Probably will go 10 fighter, 10-100 warrior than 101-200 assassin. My pawn will probably level up in the same order, except 101-200 fighter or strider. Should be fun.

>>323302180
Protip: stay away from bats at low level

Do you have to pick mage as your starter class in order to switch to sorcerer later on?

Niggers, what's better optimized KBM or Controller

I'm going to pirate the game,but I've heard playing the game without online content it's ridiculously hard,is that true or is it bullshit?

>>323302103
Not him. But I generally find Skyrim to be harder than DD.

>>323302370

Buy it.

>>323300450

Sure thing bebbeh. MK is also one of the best classes, along with MA and assassin, for fashions dogma. You can get the sanctuary augment from MK, where your defense and magick defense increase by 50% when your health is critical (30%). I made a physical based MK, so I did a lot of time as a fighter and warrior. I wore the immortals armor set end game, and it regens health. By how I leveled, I just couldn't be killed, my defenses were awesome, and my health was high, and even if I got put into critical health, my defenses got even higher, and my armor would heal me out of it anyway.

>>323302270
You can pick any class and switch freely.

>>323302425
But I don't want to spend money.

>>323302270
No. But it would be your most advantageous.

>>323302045

Mage is worth getting the ranks in when you need to kill zombies or go into the catacombs since your healing spells damage the undead. I mean if you're a completionist you'll do it anyway, may as well choose a time of optimum effectiveness. Even without that you still have Comestion and Frigor spam which never really gets old cos they're rad spells, also Grapnel is a fun spell and only Mages get it.

Mage is still worth it as an Arisen for the augments and if you're a MK you'll definitely want some of them. But as I say if you're going to be a Mage at any point, do it when you need to kill skellies and zombies.

>>323302270
No

You have access to all vocations from level 10

You might benefit by going in the same direction (mage -> sorc) since they have some similar traits, but getting traits from other vocations might be handy, depending on your playstyle

>>323302370
Not ridiculously hard, but certainly harder.

That and the Pawn system is what really makes the game unique and to not have it would be pretty boring.

Oh and you would probably have to cheat eventually if you want to play the DLC because no RC.

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Stat_Growths

It's not very important, you can switch from vocation to vocation freely and still deal decent damage

>>323302513
Then you're not entitled to play it

>>323302674
Yes. But skills and classes can be switched whenever you feel like.

But you don't really have to care much about it unless you are power leveling since items usually makes up for your lack in skills.

Just don't spend TOO much time playing something like Warrior or Assassin if you want play a Sorc and you will do fine.

>>323302370
It's not ridiculously hard at all, rift crystals which are a currency mostly used to get post game gear, are much easier to get if you have a pawn that gets hired by other players.
But you can still get enough RC in game, there are even augments that increases RC drop rate, so go ahead and pirate if you want to.

>play for 6 days
>to play it over again
I mean, whatever floats your boat, but might as well play the console version while you wait

>>323302674
Yes.
The base classes get a mix of health and their core stat, and the advanced ones like sorcerer get more int over health, and hybrids get a lower amount in health and their 2 base stats.

This leads stuff where if you wanted to minmax you could do shit like 10 levels of mage and then 190 levels of sorcerer, but who the fuck does that.

You'll miss out on some good pawns that people make since you are stick with your generic pawns, meaning you will miss out on some powerful good pawns that you can get from other players and sharing your own pawns.

Pawns really make up the gist of the game and its what make Dragon's Dogma even better.

Also, you'll start to get annoyed at how samey/repetitive your townfolks look, since random pawns make up the world of DD.

But besides that, if you don't give a fuck, you won't notice it.

I mean. It's a one time restart to manually switch to Japanese local and you never really have to switch back after that.

>>323302962

Easiest way to get RC in BBI is to godsbane in front of Daimon's chests until you get all poly(?) rift crystals. That's the most reliable place.

But, this is predicated upon the fact that you have BBI level 3 weapons so that you can reliably kill Daimon 2.0 and break through his defenses, which you'll need to grind for and purify at 20k/25k RC a pop for the level 3's.

I've had varied results. Some games didn't work with Applocale for me, prompting me to actually change my system's locale and restart. After that, some of my older western games would crash on startup, so I'd have to switch back to play those. Restarting when I want to play a game on a whim is a pain, so I prefer to stick to Japplocale so long as it works.

>BBI level 3 weapons
These are probably the easiest to get though, you don't need to purify that many to get the weapons you want.
Forgetting the from another sky quests, there are quite a few of enemies that drop poly and bi crystals in BBI, and there's also that augment that increases RC drop rate, you really don't need to farm Daimon for that.
That only really comes into play when you want the best BBI armor.

There are few places where you can farm RC. The fallen city, before daimon is a good place, as i remember you can get there 20k-30k RC. The place when you first encounter living armor, you can get there 10k RC. And probably there are few more places where you can get good amount of rc.

Also, there are a few steam groups that are going around for trading hires, and /ddg/ will be back in the swing when the game goes live, so you can ask for rents there.

On my old account, before my 360 died, I think I had something like 24 or 25 million RC on my main arisen. I'd go ranger, summon death, and kill him with tenfold flurry and blast arrows 10 or 15 times, and send /ddg/ pawns back with max RC, and people gave return hires.

What a fucking sperg post. He never even implied most of what you accused him of in that post, he just said that he doesn't like it when games arbitrarily lock you out of content.

It's fine, or even great, when a game locks you out of large portions because of the class/alignment/factions/choices etc(like the size of your character in this game), but it's just bad design when you're faced with a choice of left door/right door with no indication of what's in them and with one being an instant cutscene + checkpoint with no going back, like so many modern games do. It's perfectly reasonable to want to be casually warned about these things, like knowing that you shouldn't waste SLs on Resistance in DaS isn't minmaxing, it's just avoiding a rushed developer's mistake in design

Reminder to everyone: If you want to get your pawn hired, all anyone gives a fuck about is what skills they have and how cool they look, and if they're a reference to something the player likes (anime or another game or whatever).

So yeah I expect to see plenty of little girls day one because ya'll a bunch of fucking pedos.

None of them. I mean, you can play through the entirety of the game just fine without giving a shit about your pawn, but don't expect anyone to go "oh man that was a pretty nice pawn" like you said — wait, no. Actually, since everyone's pretty much a new player this time around, I don't think anyone's going to know any better. Knock yourself out, m8. You'll still have a shitty pawn in the end though.

Nigga, fighters are murderous dickheads BUILT to avoid and return damage. They're fucking excellent at dodging, countering, and abusing i-frames, and they can negate stamina loss while reflecting damage at the same time if they manage to time their blocks well.

Worth mentioning that unarmed scales off Strength so you basically need to be an Assassin class, though thats fine since you need the dodge roll and that vocation has it.

You can also use equipment that boosts strength to increase damage further.

With enough minmaxing it becomes decent enough that at the very least your pawns can carry you.

I was soloing as an assassin at like 100. No tweaking.

You can only dodge-roll with daggers equipped in the primary weapon slot.

>>323306157
you cant dodge without daggers eq

Sleep tight Aniki. (´･ω･`)

>>323306331
Don't the Fighter and Warrior weapons have a sort of attack/dodge ability?

And here >>323306157 we have an example of a faggot so desperate to be apart of a discussion that he's spouting misinformation. Beautiful.

Some of their moves have i-frames.

You can dodge-roll while unarmed as long as you're playing any of the four dagger-wielding vocations.

>>323301232
... did you jizz on it? i can't tell the porblem

Any of you fuckers use rusted weapons? Loved Rusted Daggers on Ranger for BBI cyclops and shit.
Even do not-absolute shit damage after they get dragonforged.

>daimon 2.0
>literally doing pixel dmg

dang

>>323306542
Yes, but those are WEAPON skills that are tied to the class of weapon. You can't use Clairvoyance or Exodus Slash without having a Sword/Greatsword equipped.

>>323306625
and whats the point of this post?

What, you can't properly use pawns without online?

Is the joke that a steam controller is always shit?

>>323307046
no you can use your own pawn and generic pawns that are already in-game. you just can't hire other players pawns which will almost always be categorically better than the generic ones. and I guess the player-made pawns get added to your world as random npcs as well
