I'm finally downloading it, what am I in for? Also, keyboard and mouse or controller?

PC version has 5 keyboard hotkeys for swapping items fast
If you have a DS4 I suggest using that and binding those hotkeys to the touchpad via DS4Windows

It reduced affinity gain for the innkeeper and merchants, though I'm not sure if Fornival is included in this.

Bullshit Questsystem.

I've played everything but the yellow classes, which one is most fun?

ah makes sense
>Bullshit Questsystem
how so?

No it's still very easy to max him out especially if you like to buy damage boosting items. You can do all of his quests at least and never max out his affinity but constant purchases on top of that and he's your lover. Or you can just let him be judged guilty and avoid that shit altogether.

how do i make this game not run like ass the pc port ia kinda horribly optimized.

The biggest example of wasted potential I can think of outside of Spore.

Is your PC from the 90s or something?

no 1070 8gb of ram eight core processor

Something is fucked then as I ran it at a solid 60+ fps with a 3570k and a GTX760 iirc

Pawns. You'll need pawns. Our Pawns. The DD general used to have a list of user Pawns. Perhaps look there.

Too bad about that.

When I first played this game, I hated it. If you find yourself hating it too, just start again with a different vocation. Here are some things that might ease any early concerns or questions you get:

>Early game, bandits will fucking destroy you. You're not shit, don't worry, they're just really powerful.
>You get to make your own pawn, and the other two are completely expendable. Don't keep any for too long, don't grow attatched to them, replace them every two or three levels so they're up to par with you and your own personal pawn. Rook, your first extra pawn, is some premade one and not an important character whatsoever.
>You can change vocations freely, but stick to either melee or magic. When you level up, your stat increase is determined by which vocation you currently are. There's no good in levelling up your stats 'evenly'. Go all in on either magic or melee, or you'll feel weak and have a shit time. This was a huge mistake I made on my first playthrough.
>However, contradicting the above, gear you get late game is so powerful stat-wise that it will completely nullify your own stats. And by late game, I mean from the special 'Dark Arisen' content, Bitterblack Isle.
>You're going to get a quest to go to Bitterblack Isle early on, it will be marked permenantly on your radar with a purple icon. Don't go there until you reach the postgame of the vanilla game. The gear there is so good, that if you manage to get your hands on any, it will completely trivialize the vanilla content.
>Don't be a mage. They're for healing and buffing. It's great to make your pawn a mage, but being a mage yourself will suck and make you think the game is shit. On a different playthrough, it's worth being a mage just to struggle through it, because then you get to be a sorcerer which is really powerful and about casting huge fuck-off spells that kill everything. But not for your first playthrough.

>You will pick up a shitload of materials in this game used for upgrading your armor and weapons. It's heavy and will weigh you down. Whenever you go to an inn, unload all your materials into the bank, they're taken from the bank when you upgrade so you don't need them on your person. Whenever you get materials, transfer them to your pawns to keep yourself light. When you dismiss your additional pawns, or when they die, all the materials they had are teleported to your bank.
>Every vendor in the game will eventually give you a quest to get them an 'idol'. There are bronze, silver and gold idols hidden in the game, use a wiki if you want to find them. When you give a vendor an idol for their quest, their stock will improve in quality based on the idol you gave them. I can't remember, but I think there's only one gold idol per play through, so you have to pick which kind of vendor you want to improve.
>When your lantern gets hit with water, it goes out, which can be really shit in a dark cave or at night. You'll have to unequip it and re-quip it. If you are the rogue-ish vocation (can't remember the name), you'll have an abiltiy called 'reset' and later 'instant reset'. You can use this ability to cancel the animation of putting away and putting back on your lantern, which will be a huge time saver added up.

Hey Arisens,
My name is Daimon, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are base, trifling, slaves to a broken order who spend every second of their day completing stupid ass quests. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pawnssy? I mean, I guess it's fun killing random stuff because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than doing radial quests on Skyrim.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I played 190 lvls as a Sorcerer, and started as a Mage. What builds do you play, other than "jack off to shameless princesses"? I also have every other Vocation maxed, and have a banging hot pawnfu (She just told me wolves hunt in packs; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just godsbane yourselves. Thanks for listening.

Is this game difficult? Thinking about picking it up for Switch later this month, but I'm more in the mood for something simple and relaxing at the moment.

Attached: barbaraisout.jpg (750x564, 68K)

it can be pretty tough
especially the early game

Who among you has seen the dragon?

Early game can be a bit difficult if you're new, but enemies do not scale with your level, and the further you get the easier it gets. You're also free to just completely stock yourself with healing items and make it near impossible to die, because you can pause and comsume items without penalty at any time.

Early game is tough, but it evens out until you reach Bitterblack Isle (post game).

pure tedium and boredom with 5/6 classes being absolutely snoozefests and the only good class having 3 abilities instead of 6 which is gay as fuck too

I think I can sway anyone to want to play this game by showing them the theme that plays when you turn the tide of battle against a massive creature and start to win. It's my favorite thing about the entire game and the reason why I've replayed it so many times:

youtube.com/watch?v=OTNfuztCMgM

>so you have to pick which kind of vendor you want to improve
I'd personally keep the Gold Idol for myself since it gives you a 30% discount everywhere, especially because when you get to NG+ all the vendors will be automatically improved whether or not you gave them anything.
But nice tips other than that.

lmao I've never seen a warrior fag be THIS salty that he got shafted by Isuno

MA is pretty good in BBI

Thanks for saying so, I had no idea about either of those things.

He's probably mad that quests don't just sit around forever waiting for you to finish them

Pretty good is an understatement, luring enemies into closed spaces and corridors (which are everywhere in BBI) and spamming Ricochet Hunter is one of the most broken strategies in the entire game

its shit until the dragon appears

I'm waiting for a switch release

Shut up, you upjumped user. Your rantings make for tedious reading.

>keyboard and mouse or controller?
Controller is inferior for most games.

I've killed you today, psst nothing personal.

Best environments out of any game. I play with kb but controller might be better.

Strider
Ranger is fucking boring

shut up Daimon

You should copy the gold idol at the black cat and keep the copy, it still gives you the discount

why would you just go on the internet and lie like that?
Warrior and Ranger are the two classes I replay on the most

Is there any sure way to get somebody as beloved? I know that if you talk before doing final quest that you will get them but is there any item that I can give that has the same function?
In my first playthrough I got Caxton as my beloved and I don't want for that to happen again. Like I was so salty I didn't even bothered playing the expansion pack and now after like 1 month I started new game.

My strategy is to give the arisen's bond to whoever before doing Rewards and Responsibility (so straight after Honour and Treachery) and not talking to ANYONE until the end of Deny Salvation.

According to wiki and gamefaq's and shit you can apparently do it with Deny Salvation started but I've also read countless people say they did that and ended up with whorelinore instead of their beloved.

>lie
Ranger has very no unique dagger skills (which sucks), and his most useful and flashy bow skills are just
>lmao 10 arrow
>BIG arrow (which I like less than the strider version)
>BIGGERER arrow

Your beloved is the last person you spoke to with maximum affection towards you (or the highest affection so far if you haven't maxed anyone out) before the dragon kidnaps someone. So before starting the quest where he kidnaps your beloved, make sure you speak to the person you want to be your beloved, and that they have max affection towards you.

>Is there any sure way to get somebody as beloved?
AFAIK no. Even with the Arisen's bond the beloved will still be whoever you talked last to, amongst all characters with max love.

It's a pretty fun game. Like other have said you can change classes at anytime after you reach level ten. You do so by going to the inn in Gran Soren. At first they'll have a cost to change and after that they're free. You can change how your pawn interacts with the world by telling therm commands and by talking to them in a special chair in inns. Meat and vegetables slowly rot over time. The fresh versions are worse than the moldy/rank versions so pay attention to how much they've rotten over time. There are a lot of escort quests and the ai is absolutely retarded. They have no sense of danger and will just look at plants and stuff while things attack them. You can pick them up in order to force them away, but they'll shake themselves loose. Frequently change the pawns you use because rented pawns don't level up. when you first cross the canyon you can kick the bull to make it go faster at the cost of health. You can heal it if you have the skill, or by not being full health, standing by it, and letting the pawn heal you and the bull at the same time.

Attached: 1553405541585.jpg (367x446, 41K)

There is an easy mode

>you can kick the bull
About five complete runs in and I didn't try this. Neat.

You can grab any winged monster and fly.

So getting Mecedes as waifu is pretty hard for me now I guess. The problem is that I m unsure with whom I have max affinity since I thought that by getting max affinity I will get new quests/wares, so I gotten max affinity with a lot of people.

Is there any way to see list of all characters with whom I have max affinity? I don't care even if it is mods/configs?

I got Mercedes very easily just by doing her escort quest, siding with her at the start of Pride Before a Fall, giving her Cloudwine a few times, and speaking with her just before facing Grigori.

Used her sword to kill the big bastard too, Dragonforged it in honor of my goat wife.

>Is there any way to see list of all characters with whom I have max affinity?
There's an affinity mod in this mod nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/96 which you should definitely get. I've never actually used it though so I don't know if its easy to just set people's affinity to whatever, especially if shegoat has left your world for now.

KB+M is awesome in Dragon's Dogma, especially if you play anything with ranged attacks.
It's a fucking amazing game in terms of mechanics, but fair warning: The story and world is really butchered.

i dont use any graphic mods funmy thing is game also runs like shit on console

>people actually suggesting k+m for an action rpg
absolutely braindead

Yes on 7th gen. On PC you should have no issues. I am running a 4460 and 1060 6GB and at 1080p I RARELY saw dips below 60 on max everything except LOD. Usually 90-110fps. Turn down LODs, even on high you'll see popin and your frame rate will suffer more.

>>Early game, bandits will fucking destroy you. You're not shit, don't worry, they're just really powerful.
As a reminder, for that early escort quest where every player gets murdered by OP bandits, they leave the road at night and retreat to their fort. So you only have to fight wolves if you go at night.

Ty man. Will try it. In current playthrozgh I just arrived to Gran Soren

I think the very core story, aka anything involving what The Arisen is and Grigori, as well as the postgame, have a great story. It's just spotty when you're working your way up to do quests for the Duke barring a couple side quests chains. I do really like some of the little interactions you can get though, like the guy who you get that magic tome for in a completely optional quest helping you out in a story quest

Why in the world was rotting and rank food better for you? I couldn't understand this.

Capcom is on such a based streak right now I hope we get a DD2 announcement soon.

Everyone in this thread will pretend the game is skill based, but don't be fooled. If you played on Hard for the first time like me you'll realize almost immediately that Lvl and gear are 90% of the determining factor whether you'll die in one hit and do 0 dmg or be an unkillable god. Healing system is shit too.

I've never seen anybody talk about DD as a skill-based game. Gear aside you heal in a pause menu, unless you get one-shotted you're never going to lose anything. It's just an enjoyable combat system.

Levels really don't matter much, your gear stars do though. You still need to learn the combat system and timing of it won't matter how good your character is

Hard isn't intended to be used for the first playthrough, it's to make NG+ harder
