Cassardis is definitely Greek/Italian inspired at least. Then you have French accents on characters from countries neighbouring Gransys.

Speaking of neighbouring countries, I wish they didn't cheap out on voices and just speed up/slow down two sets of voices to make 12 or whatever the fuck they did. I'd love if they had an option for a French accented voice, Spanish, Italian etc, then maybe a high English accent and a low English accent. A Scottish accent. That sort of thing. A number of accents that you could conceivably come across in medieval fiction. Mercedes/Julien and a few other characters establish that nearby countries to Gransys have a different way of speaking, so other European accents could imply a guest pawn's original master was from another land for instance. It'd break the monotony up a lot too.

>>149133921
Find a way to decrypt the .ARC files and get the meshes, or at least the textures.

>>149135154

Those accents would have been so nice

Can't call them lazy when they hired 200 VAs and voiced 400 characters tho

Is there a weapon model you like, even though the stats suck?
I like the cutlass model, but neither weapon is particularly great, aside from the built in lightning enchantment on caladbolg

>>149137540
Cursed Bite is okay, I guess?

I just installed the game and am about to play it pretty much blind.

Is a gamepad better than k+m?
Should I play on hard from the start?

>>149138645
"Hard mode" is actually supposed to be more like NG+, if you consider certain mechanics

If it's your first playthrough and you want it to be difficult, normal mode is better

>>149138645
I play keyboard and mouse, and it works best, especially if you play the archery classes. As long as you're able to reach your ctrl and alt keys without accidentally pressing other keys, like alt-tabbing, it works great

Every shield in the game, magick or otherwise, with the single exception of the Wizard's Vizard, is like that as far as I know.

>>149135154
Hearthstone and Meloire are french, Veldoa is german/austrian. Gransys as a whole appears to be British inspired but southern Gransys is clearly Greek/Spanish.

>>149140808
>I'm thinking of using one but I heard that they make dark areas pitch black.
Entirely dependent on their settings which are easy to change. If you aren't satisfied with it, when you press shift+return/enter it brings up a dialog to edit various ENB settings. Scroll down to environment and edit the ambient light levels there, make sure to save changes at the top when you're done. Shift+F12 toggles ENB on/off easily to compare to vanilla shaders.

Here's mine, I've tried to keep the brightness of lighting (especially at night and indoors) as close as possible to vanilla. It's very colourful and has some film grain and a lot of anamorphic lens flare, all stuff you can edit in the same way though obviously not via the ambient light settings.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dmgx4xkeb0xny2h/DDDA+enb.7z
Resonant also looks good though it's a totally different aesthetic, and Wickfut looks the most "vanilla but better" imo (Wickfut's signature ENB shaders tend to be grey and gloomy, which happens to be similar to the game's vanilla lighting).

>>149140808

Kb+M is great for bow classes, controller is better for anything else.
Dont start in hard mode unless you are okay with getting one hit killed by anything other than bats in the early game. The crazy amounts of experience you get from baddies (Plus the retarded amounts of gold they drop) is why most of us start on hard mode from level one since we know how stuff goes down and we want to be done with it fast. Not recomended.

>>149150317
KBM is better for everything, but especially any class that isn't fighter, warrior or sometimes MK, where the advantages, while present, are less significant.

>>149151196
Should have wrote "I like controller better for everything else" Emphasis on I.
It really comes down to preference really, since they are both equally responsive.
Only adding that because sometimes console ports have awful kbm support.

I actually have experience with first playing the game for like 90 levels with a controller but then my 360contr started acting up because it's a piece of cheap plastic junk i switched to kb+m.

After the initial hardships because my kb+m too were just a cheap pieces of shit it got better once the maill arrived and brought that motherfucking mechanical keyboard and "GAYMING MOUSE!" i ordered!

Really though, kb+m is fucking awesome for DD atleast if you have the good shit and not some cheap junk.

Not that controllers are bad but it really sucks how there's like what? 360 and perhaps xbone controllers that are the kind that fit your hands like your cock when fappan and both of those are... well... fucking cheap microsoft plastic junk!

I dont think i've dropped it once, it's allways just been sitting there on top of my PC unless i have to play some shitty console port.
I'd guess it lasted 2~ years or so so i guess it had a good enough run for xbox-pad atleast.

Pad market is really weird though, i dont understand how you can get great mechanical kb for 100dollars and "epic gayming mouse" for 70 but even with 140-150dollars all you get is xbone "ELITE"-pad which seems to suffer from same thing xbox-pads in general do and that is easily breaking down if customer reviews and jewtube videos are anything to go by.

Then we go even more upwards in the price and instead of pad-makers advertising their pads as durable and easy to use with any console/pc you want they just make them look like overpriced space-ships that are again most likely made in the same shitty Chinese sweatshop microsoft gets it pads from with the same parts.

Most top-end pads are pretty gimmicky. The default, first-party pads (which have generally had other problems, to be fair) are typically quite reliable. If you treat it well, you can expect a 360 or PS3 pad to last you several years at least--frequently longer than the console itself.

Dark/purged buckler looks paper thin to me. Might it seem like it's less thin than the devil's sanctum because it's more curved? I admit I have only tried like 1/3 of the shields of either type because I don't play reds much and enjoy warrior the most of the red vocations, but of those I've tried only the Vizard isn't paper thin, and it does have ridiculously sharp edges- It just bulks out in the middle, likely because it was designed separate from the other shields as part of best girl Julien's costume.

Irks me the most on the orilux shield since I like heraldic suns on my shields and it looks like my character's holding a very nicely decorated piece of cardboard.

If you don't mind clipping with your legs when you run, alchemickal cloak (I think is how it's spelled in-game) or tattered mantle might go well. Otherwise beastly mantle or nomad's cloak. I recommend beastly mantle because I don't see many people using it so it will make your character more distinctive while looking good, you can get it from the black cat.

Great torso armour choice, though, definitely one of the best looking warrior/MK pieces imo.

Octavia's owner talking from a cool festival. Found a wifi spot to shill her for a bit. She's a level 69 Fighter with a Pioneer/Mitigator inclination.

>>149168298
>you just don't get to complain about someone's education in english

Not even him but I just wanted to join in on the shitposting.

Personally I can't see how people play any third-person game with a keyboard. Movement is so awful unless aiming is absolutely critical and can't be compromised. That said, my PS4 controller has now lasted me longer than any 360 or xbone controller I've ever owned without anything failing.

>>149168298
I'm too lazy to improve my grammar (-: and Finnish being the sort of language everyone pretty much writes in an "accent/slang" kinda discourages it.
In fact on Finngolian boards if someone is writing perfect grammar he'l get ridiculed for being assburger/autist for it.

for me the thumb is looser than OP's boypussy and back-buttons being almost completely unresponsive.
Apparently the back ones can be fixed with cardboard or such but fixing loose thumb seems to be 50/50 mostly being about replacing the stick so at that point better just buy a new pad.

OPEN YOUR EYES

>>149167913
>Just being at your side fills this pawn with vigor, Arisen

oh I will fill her with something, alright

>>149168897
It's uncapitalised because it's still American english rather than proper English and therefore is not a proper noun. :^)

For my part I can't see how anyone prefers a controller for any but the worst console ports, which tend to just have cameras that work horribly with built-in mouse acceleration and shit. Being in first or third person does not change that you can quickly and precisely whip the camera around to any position with a mouse, and that simply is not possible with an analog stick. Directional movement relative to the camera isn't that big of a deal unless you have a fixed camera angle (which OTS isn't), you can still run in eight directions and move the mouse to tweak that to any degree of change.

KBM is simply the superior control method. Something better might come along and in fact mouse and joystick is somewhat impractical physically but very arguably better in terms of gameplay, but if the alternative is a controller there is no contest as far as I'm concerned.

>>149168879
What kind of festival m80?

Apart from reds being able to grapple-hold and striders getting the bonus to climbing damage, and obviously weapons/weapon skills and levelup stats, do any vocations get innate advantages that other vocations do not?

>>149158637
Nope. I tried opening them ages ago with the ARCTool, and it refused to work. I think there's some extra encryption on there or something.

You could probably ask one of the translators on
>reddit
But, I doubt they'd release their tools. The most they'd do, I think, is give the modder the files so they can mod it in.

>>149175952
I would agree that KBM would've been better if the game was made with that in mind, sort of like how Guild Wars 2 or Dragon Nest plays out. They're both 3rd person action games with melee mechanics that works quite well. I just can't play with KBM though, just like I can't play Dark Souls with KBM. It's just too jarring for me.

>>149135154

>>149181301
Yeah but that's tied to daggers rather than to the classes themselves. I'm asking because I'm trying to "design" a class using cheat engine mods.

Cheating is pretty awesome. I've got sky rapture for double jumping and hindsight slash for dodging as well. Considering clairvoyance for blocking instead, but hindsight slash looks cooler to me.

>>149182801
I can't think of anything else that I'd consider an advantage. Being able to dodge and double jump is a huge boost to mobility and I don't think I can ever play any other classes without it.

>>149167913
PLEASE do not lewd the lolis. They are kind and gentle creatures.

>>149184126
Yeah, I really like those but I love the appearance of the Virge of Madness and also like both the look of sky rapture and the utility of great cannon. Sky rapture is surprisingly good for mobility, albeit not as intuitive as just jumping again. It doesn't get the vertical height of the double jump but goes about as far as levitate and does so much faster. I know I ought to have at least one defencive sword skill, since like a sword+bow assassin I have no defencive measures otherwise. And I don't want anything like dragon's maw that is just totally unfair combined with everything else, I'd rather keep it resembling an actual vocation.

Using fighter as a template for the grappling, though since I'm not using gouge or TK I might go strider instead so my climbing damage isn't total piss.

>>149182801
>hybrid hybrid vocations

That actually looks pretty fucking fun

>>149182801
Could you try Great Cannon with Hundred/Thousand Kisses with immolation on pls

>>149186186
I think so, though swords/maces and daggers aren't compatible so I'll have to use GC on daggers and hope it doesn't shit the bed. Also if you have a strider pawn with utilitarian they'll usually TK, shearing wind, brainsplitter, fivefold or hailstorm your cannons when you set them up, though obviously they don't get immolation.

>>149186909
>Also if you have a strider pawn with utilitarian they'll usually TK, shearing wind, brainsplitter, fivefold or hailstorm your cannons when you set them up,
Pawns don't give a fuck about GC.

im playing through Dark Arisen for my first time and i want to be a Warrior so i can channel my inner Guts but i hear Warrior is kinda shitty. im also thinking Magick Archer, but it doesnt seem as fun to sit back and pelt things from afar. is Warrior really that bad?

>>149182801
Can you alter animation speed?
If so, try it on the longsword/warhammer

is it just me, or does the ending make no fucking sense? It felt like Madoka meets Gurren Lagann, except filmed by 3 actors on a green screen.
And what kind of fight was that anyways, the guy died after like two hits.
After the dragon twist, I was expecting better.

>>149187508
No. Warrior is fun. It's all about finding the class you have the most fun with.

>>149187095
Except they do and will often specifically target it instead of enemies, supposedly especially if they are utilitarian and probably also if they're mitigator (my pawn is utilitarian/mitigator, so it works out either way). They give even higher priority to the Gazer's cannon. The game treats cannons as enemies in all regards including pawn targeting. I've only played MK for a combined total of maybe eight hours and I've seen my pawn go after cannons with no enemies next to them countless times.

>>149187508
You'll do a lot of melee as MA as well and the arrows have a lot of variety. Warrior is perfectly viable, it's generally the weakest class but you can succeed with all of them. Just expect a bad time if you go hardmode and do BBI immediately with it or something. Both are extremely fun classes imo. You'll probably end up trying all the classes at some point anyway, to unlock augments (universal passive skills) if nothing else.

>>149186186
>>149187654
I've got to head out for an hour or two, but I'll do these when I get back.

>>149187508
you can change it later, just try out some.
Warrior is not bad, none of them really are, they're just different, and don't appeal to all players.

>>149187938
>Except they do
No. They really don't. Pawns don't care about GC, they don't know what to do with it even you make your pawn a MK. If a pawn hits a GC, it's by accident.
>They give even higher priority to the Gazer's cannon.
It's scripted...
>The game treats cannons as enemies in all regards including pawn targeting.
No.
>I've only played MK for a combined total of maybe eight hours
Wow...
>and I've seen my pawn go after cannons with no enemies next to them countless times.

I played warrior from start to finish (Level 10+ to 60) and it's totally fine. It may be annoying and you need to have some patience, but they have super strong attack that can literally one shot bosses and that is satisfying as all hell for me.

The major problem with hard mode is that, while it increases enemy stats and whatnot, it also increases money and experience gained. So in hard mode, you'll always have the very best equipment available for purchase, and you'll outlevel everything even faster than you will in normal mode.

They didn't really think through that mode very well.

I want to NTR players with their pawns.

Real talk; bonus stats when you travel only with your pawn, based on your vocations. So you might get stats that cover whatever you don't have.

I dunno why, it makes me think of classic sword and sorcery duos. Something like Fafrhd and the Gray Mouser where one's a barbarian, one's a rogue.

>>149202847
>B-b-but muh Dank Souls audience!!!
I really liked vanilla game on normal for how relaxed you could go with it, with the difficulty mostly being a check if you are absolutely braindead or no.

None of this BBI "lel Death came again and killed all your pawns and oh wait here's also HELLHOUNDS and cyclops on steroids, eliminators, ghosts immune to magic and knights immune to physical in dank dark corridors!"
"It's just like in Dank Souls and that's great isnt it?"

Not that DD meets Git Gud Souls wouldnt work but DD combat is too... clunky? Like with Yellow dagger classes even with light attack you are locked for way too long time to attack animation and you cant do shit like dodge out of the way in the middle of the animation but in light of that most BBI monsters are on steroids so you have 2 options:
-Shoot them from afar like a pussy
-Cling on their backs and dagger away until they throw you away
And some enemies are just plain health sponges even with lvl 3 weapons like those fucking poisoned undeads.

It's too chaotic and fast, every hit in Souls is actually pretty telegraphed and you're rarely facing more than 2-3 enemies at a time

DD is meant to be chaotic however, it's more of an epic battle simulator than a true dungeon crawler, which isn't an insult in the least. I installed a 3x enemy spawn mod and am playing on Normal, and having to juggle knockdowns/stuns on 3 Elder Ogres to keep them from running all over my team is really fun. It just wouldn't be possible on Hard where you can get 2 shotted by very fast attacks, can't stun/knockdown anything, and your pawns out-tank you.

>started a Mage but became a Warrior very early first chance I got
>vocation has the highest HP growth
>eternal Fighter pawn is a few levels behind me
>has 500 more HP than me

I am level 160 now, does the starter class has such a big effect on your initial stats?

>>149216108
Yeah they do.
Good luck if you or your pawn leveled as mage/sorc for the majority of the game and then hopping onto something like BBI just to get oneshotted by everything that breathes with your ;lolnoHP stats.

>>149216108
There's a difference of 10%~ between a min-maxed endclass and a non min-maxed one iirc.

It's... pretty frustrating. It's like effort values from Pokemon but even more frustrating. I didn't expect my previous game playthroughs to fuck my stat gain up for new playthroughs but oh well.

>>149216108
Do vocations only affect growth, or do they also modify your actual stats? Maybe try switching to the same vocations?

Also, does your pawn have any of the +HP augments?

For MK, is it better to have a main hand with high raw or one of those perma enchanted weapons?

>>149217950
High raw, always.

File: just like guts.webm (3MB, 960x600px) Image search: [Google]

3MB, 960x600px

>>149186186
Sadly though I recall hearing about things like people casting with longswords I couldn't figure out how to assign MK skills to daggers, and changing weapons on the fly dispels things like immolation and magick cannon. Might try finding a solution tomorrow, I'm a bit inebriated now and feel like I might have missed something in my haste.

>>149187654
I can't do that specifically but I can alter the game speed to show you what it would look like if I could! It speeds enemies and other vocations up as well though. This is 1.4x.

>>149217950
High raw generally. Usually the only time you want an innate magic weapon is either midgame to target elemental weaknesses or with MA if you're using the dagger spells instead of physical dagger skills, as they scale off of the dagger's magic as well as your own. GC bolts also scale off of both weapon stats and your own stats, but riposting with your magic shield on a GC should still produce high-magic pellets for things like living armour and your base magic should suffice for phantoms.

The problem with enchanted weapons in this game is that enemies have damage thresholds, so even if you have higher total attack, splitting it between physical and magic means you usually do less damage overall than with pure raw even if the enemy in question has a greater weakness to the element than to physical- This is especially true in BBI.

>>149217592
>how constantly dead my pawns were.
I dont think this is supposed to be fun, atleast for me the main annoyance in BBI is pawns being absolute morans especially with those spell casting drakes.

Also holy hell those poisonous undeads on that one bridge, i've had melee pawns more than enough times jump on their backs and lash away BUT then when they've killed it they jump off it's back OFF THE BRIDGE!

>>149218547
so if I were to fight the Ur-Dragon, would it be better to use Virge of Madness or Cursed Light?

>>149218584
This just adds to the list of evidence that Capcom just wants the Dark Souls audience with BBI.

>>149216108
There may be another element at work here. Have you been warrior ever since reaching 100+?

Warriors gain 5hp per level (compared to the fighter's 15hp) from 101-200. It's probably a bug (it gains 15 stamina, so they probably accidentally transposed the figures and nobody noticed), but it's never been fixed. In 60 levels, your foghter pawn could have gained up to 600 hp more than you.

Finally finished the game after putting it off. I can't change classes until Gran Soren?

>>149218584
Forstwyrms are tedious even solo. Especially if you roll two in that last arena before the forgotten city, sparyard of scant mercy or whatever. Just nonstop exodies and knockup spells, and their hearts are generally the hardest to hit of the three in my experience. If your pawns are yellow you might be able to get them to use silencer arrows, ideally with a rusted bow for torpor, and be genuinely useful though.

>>149218768
Since you'd be using the great cannon as a MK either way, and the brunt of your damage would come from shield ripostes on the cannons meaning weapon stats don't really matter unless you're hitting it with the sword specifically, and GC element comes from the primary weapon manual enchantment rather than innate (though you'll still get healing from innate holies etc), I'd imagine it's virge of madness for online since if you have to resort to actually hitting it it will do more damage, and cursed light for offline since it'll do more when you have to hit either the GC or the dragon with the sword since the dragon has much lower defences (and thresholds) offline.

I've mostly fought it as MA both ways and can say for example that hunter bolt does noticeably more damage than scension online but vice versa offline for similar reasons (scension hits more for more total damage but less damage per hit). I could be wrong but I think ranger is the best vocation for ur-dragon contribution, both with and without a maker's finger.

I'm working with the existing CE tables, I'm no genius with this stuff. I thought I could do those things but I'm pretty sure I can't do that myself. Presumably those resistances are stored as values somewhere and could at least be hard-edited, but that's a bit beyond me and beyond what I feel like learning tonight.

afaik nobody's figured out how to have 6 longsword skills, apparently there's some difficulty with it though I don't know what. Secondary weapons are possible tho, you can see in that webm I have a magick bow equipped. There is a glitch there, though. Secondary weapons will get stuck to your hand while performing standard light and heavy attacks, which is especially noticeable with longbows. Really a shame because the two look nice together and I think they complement each other well too.

>>149222325
Meek is usually the most likeable shit imo. I have confident on one or two, the rest are reticent/meek/timid depending on what I could get to show up.

Wew, this game really needs a better search.
It's just discouraging that my pawn too will eventually fall so far down in the list that no one will ever see her on the rift much less hire her because 404 not found. ;___;

>>149225657
I tried it out, it may be different on more melee-oriented enemies where abyssal riposte can contribute to both your damage and your torpor buildup and you can make better use of abyssal anguish, but against a wyvern it pretty much plays like a debilitation-focused sorc and against trash enemies it's just DFB.

>>149227032
Make sure you're searching at 199, 200 is all offline pawns. Refreshing by re-searching at 199 repeatedly can also make pawns turn up that didn't before.

+ some anons have talked about deleveling so even if you do get bored of the game you can just lower your pawn to lvl 90, 100, 120 or so and she can be found more easily and might even get some hires.

>>149229396
I like being a mage, but I'm also a chicken and a very timid gamer. I find that I'm smarter than the AI when it comes to casting the all-powerful general buff Spellscreen, and the status-changing effect remover spell, High Halidom. I basically stand in a corner, buff my pawns, and cast Anodyne in the general area that they're fighting

>>149227896
Arrogant has most of the jerkass lines, though confident and aggressive have a couple. Meek generally has pretty subservient lines, many of which lack confidence, though it's not nearly as bad on that score as Timid, which is basically just cower-mode.

Straight mage isn't much good for anything but support--there are very few spells the mage can cast that the sorcerer can't (and sorcerers have the nukes as well as higher stats on their weapons), and they're all buffs/debuffs. It's not really that fun of a class to play when your only allies are NPCs.

Sorcerers have the same problem that mages do (in order to do nearly anything, you basically have to nail yourself to the ground for several seconds), but their skills tend to be more viscerally satisfying, and when properly equipped/built you're a powerhouse.

If you want a more mobile caster, the hybrid classes are going to be more your speed.

I've never really looked into it, myself, but from what /ddg/ has mentioned in the past, the only way to get softbanned is to alter your pawn's stats to a state that is impossible in legitimate play (if you just alter them as if you had leveled up in a different fashion, you should be fine), and possibly to cheat in skills that the pawn's vocation doesn't support (though hybrid augments are reportedly fine).

I have a Master Ring with a defense boost, however for some reason it was bugged and raised the defense by 450. I could put it on and get defense over 1000 easily as long as I put it on from the storage inventory. However when I took it off and put it in my Arisen's inventory it went back to normal, only raising defense by a normal amount.

No idea why this happened, hope my save isn't corrupting.

Okay, assuming you were actually able to use these weapons, and weren't restricted to in game skills and vocation limitations (meaning you could equip any weapon and develop your own skills for them) what would your abilities be?
Optional: create a new weapon type not usable in game with at least 1 skill

>>149246319
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I'd love if magic bows functioned more like the regular bows. The skills are interesting and cool looking but firing the thing and the weird auto aim are so unsatisfying.

>>149247742
Close enough

>>149228612
I'd do it if I felt like looking for a cursed dragon (not the bishop one, it has fuckall health and the bishop itself is unaffected by holy).

>>149230579
>targeting is just annoying
If you don't already know, you can press the sprint key/click in one of the sticks (I don't remember which) while charging to free-aim spells. Precision aiming is actually easier as sorc than as MA, though the ability to charge while moving is really nice and MA's skills are pretty cool. Wish only the "hunter" shots and the followup shots on ninefold homed or something like that.

>>149247742
Speaking of firing it being unsatisfying, if it didn't have homing on most shot types it would also be nice to have those that didn't have the critical effect and moment of slowtime that indomitable lash and deathly arrow do if you perfectly time the release. With homing it would just be overpowered.

>>149246319
see >>149182801
magic version of an assassin is cool as fuck. As far as skills not already in the game, a few skills on the magick bow- A lower-damage lightning shot with a much higher than normal chance to arc between targets (including cannons, of course) over a longer distance, with the upgraded version having higher damage and an even higher chance to arc (so basically it might be slow but would keep going and thundershocking crowds of enemies, and activating cannons, by itself over a long period); A holy shot that functioned more like a holy equivalent of ranger's spiral arrow (sticking in the enemy like explosive rivet and damaging it continually) and worked on more than undead, so you could hit a single target with repeated holy damage and so you could set it on a cannon as a "fire and forget" while you did other things; And a dark shot that does high initial damage to what it hits and lower aoe damage, and then maybe functions like the opposite of magickal gleam, shutting out all light in the area and making enemies and pawns blind (with a very high rate of infliction, not the underwhelming shit a lot of status inflicting skills in BBI especially are where you have to cast them eight times with magnitude to affect anything but leapworms). Maybe a unique feint for the mace but fighter's works fine imo.

But with the optional caveat I'd go an entirely different direction and have a hoplite class with spears and shields. Something like a monster hunter charge with the spear, a pole vault to reach higher ground, a real greek-hoplite-inspired attack where you stamp the ground with the pointed butt of your dory to ensure a kill on a downed enemy, maybe skewering multiple enemies though that wouldn't make sense for winged spears which are best spears, a slower but more powerful version of fighter's sheltered assault for the shield, et cetera. Lots you could do with that.

Is this due a sale on Steam? I really want to buy it - and this'd be for the 3rd time since I already have it on 360 and PS3 - but I have JUST enough money to buy it in the bank. I'd have no money for the next 3 weeks after that.

The shitty escort quest to get to gran soren goes much quicker if you grab a bunch of spring water or incense from storage and repeatedly kick and then heal the ox (it doesn't go as far from being kicked when its health is lower, so try to keep it above 75% if you can). But it's still an excruciating ~3 minutes that can't be avoided if you do it perfectly and ~8 if you don't. Because of all the variables with enemies as well that part can be a real speedrun killer, it'd be great to find a skip for it.

Neph Bump!

I played DA on PS3 a while ago. I started on Hard and didn't find it that bad. Does it get REALLY fucking hard later on? I don't mind it staying a similar challenge (in context) to the start of the game but I don't want to be trapped in a masochistically difficult experience.

>>149261635
On the contrary, it gets easier because you overlevel, and also more frustrating because your pawn won't be as good as other pawns of their level. However, once you're already a high level hard obviously makes the game more than braindead while on normal it's too boring to play at that point. Basically hard is harder at the start and the end but easier in the middle.

>>149246319
No ideas for skills, but i have a couple weapon ideas
Talisman: an arcane artifact worn somewhere on the body
Lowest damage of all weapon types
Skills are usually single target projectile spells
Small or no casting time
Overcomes weakness with a diverse arsenal
(And a not!lightning spear, i mean come on, it just has to)
Ritual Dagger
Skills mostly focus on aoe sigils and debilitations
Fists: Caestus, knuckles, and gauntlets
Shortest range, but deals heavy bludgeoning damage

>>149262026
Those spawns are all the same on normal. Hard just makes them more damaging, makes you lose stamina faster and gives you more experience and gold for killing them.

>(And a not!lightning spear, i mean come on, it just has to)

So MA's dagger, sans the regular dagger skills and immolation that make it so devastating physically?

>>149253253
Lewd!

>>149262416
Plus fast ticking single target debilitations, all of which can be used while climbing, like a gouge that inflicts poison/topor/weakened defense/curse/insert debilitation here instead of doing insane damage

>>149262416
>>149263231
Also, a single dagger instead of dual daggers

Is this game ridiculously quiet for anyone else on PC? I have my PC at max volume and my speakers nearly at max. Normally they're all about 30 but now they're at 14 (0 is the loudest, I don't really get it but there we are).

Does it make any difference if you kill the chimaera at the start or not?

I'd like a weapon which is a cask or bottle of oil in one hand and a sword in the other. You can do various combinations, like set your sword on fire by dipping it in the oil and (in the same auto-animation) sparking it off a rock or your boot or whatever. But more importantly, you can trickle a limited (not TOO limited) amount of oil around on the ground, or even on the enemies, and then light the whole thing up. Kind of like the gunpowder trails you get in cartoons. Maybe the oil could make people slip as well. Perhaps even different types of oil can be switched between that do different things.

If they have nukes gicel, maelstrom and fulmination are preferred. Looking for someone to manage my magic cannon flavours while I use a magic bow as my secondary weapon.

>Fight wyvern, keep flying around causing me to miss my world-enders

This is combined with pawns being useless all the time. I can deal with cursed dragons much easier, even the non-weakened ones like DB's pet.

maelstrom is good for knocking them down and fucking them up pretty hard as well
>Fight wyrm, won't stop casting his bullshit magicks constantly
definitely the hardest as a sorc imo
>Fight drake, packs of hellhound fuck my shit up
I mean, you know they're going to be there. Bring in HFB or IFB and deal with the dogs first.

>>149272625
Killing Cursed Dragons in Duskmoon tower is a good way to dragonforge stuff: drop one bait and kill the first CD. Leave and come back for the second.

>>149274150
I've been able to beat all of BBI 2.0 as a nob-sync sorc (except Death), but dual Frostwyrms in BBI are definitely the hardest fight I've had running blue. Grand Ingle a lifesaver.

There's tons of it. Hentai artists are outnumbered by normal fans.

>>149277584
>There's tons of it.

Where Specifically?

>>149273890
You know what? This has given me a new hypothesis.

I posit: Japanese publishers may gauge whether it's safe to create a sequel based on the amount of porn the original generates instead of the amount of revenue.

For instance: in their original publication runs, Final Fantasy VIII actually sold better than Final Fantasy VII. Yet FFVII's enduring legacy in porn far overshadows FFVIII's, and what do we have? Several FFVII spinoffs, sequels, prequels, and a remake coming, while FFVIII hasn't been touched since its original release.

Prove me wrong, etc.

>>149279469
Pixiv and DA.

>>149279626
>I posit: Japanese publishers may gauge whether it's safe to create a sequel based on the amount of porn the original generates instead of the amount of revenue.

I think Capcom would have taken their pawn community into consideration as well as the presence of fans on twitter. Most of which are huge perverts, like old /ddg/.

Thanks I'll get it then. It's nice to think there's a /vg/ community to fall back on if online is a wasteland.

I'm a little dissapointed over the lack of sidequests in this game. There's only been really like 20 or so non-noticeboard quests which just isn't enough. The quality is generally quite good, but still too bad a lot of characters only get like 2 quests before they are all over you.
I guess having come from Witcher 3 set the bar too high.

>>149283362
player base is active and people shill and hire each others pawns here all the time

experience your pawn would gain while other players hire it is converted to one of the three types of currency, rift crystals, at a strange exchange rate, which are used to unlock the best equipment in the game, purchase certain specialty goods and hire pawns of a higher level than you; the other currencies are discipline, which you spend on class-specific skills and also get at a weird exchange rate but to the experience you and your pawn gain in your own game, and gold, which is just money and works like in most rpgs

they do learn but it's not super nuanced, they just learn different actions like catching creatures/people or what to do against specific monsters (their weaknesses, weak spots, abilities and tactics), and have behavioural "inclinations" that mix to determine how they'll act (utilitarian is by far the most useful inclination, it makes the pawn give other pawns directions based on their knowledge and also generally behave more intelligently in an unspecialised manner; eventually you'll be able to use rift crystals to manually change inclinations)

Right. The clothes is too jarring on left.

>>149284386
Left is closer to the image. I'd try meloirean plate, sectional iron plate or emissary armour rather than the gryphic chest, which looks far too bulky, and trophy bracers for the arms. Alternately if you can find a suitable undershirt you could try the hide armour for the fur skirt, but that would make it more apparent that the crotch of the alchemickal hosen is brown rather than red.
