All the women seem to be pretty young and for the most part haven't been forged in the fire of battle True kino
Adam Nelson
Would you comfort the good doctor before the final battle, bros?
What's even the plot for the second one? Did the ancestor decide to be a dick on a mountain now?
Gabriel Green
To be fair, vestal was so fucking horny she failed to keep her temple's fire stoked.
Jacob Garcia
In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings... Again.
Ryder Morales
Most men in the game have some sort of violent background, from survivalist with a death wish, vigilantes, soldier. Women for the most parts are exiles or thieves so not really a bloody story, the ones with more fighting experience don't fear Cum Into Your Maker on the other hand.
Brody Lopez
Of course
Chase Kelly
*ahem* If I might be so bold
FUCK PIGS FUCK SKELLIES FUCK MERMAIDS FUCK BRIGANDS DEFINITELY FUCK MOSQUITOES AND OF COURSE, FUCK LOVECRAFT
I often just try to prevent him from living more than one turn, that said RNG can be a bitch and having that one necessary attack to finish him missing happens surprisingly often.
Gavin Parker
Hence why it's better to be safe Even if MaA can't do much damage in the Weald he completely trivializes giants and can still act as a stunbot Dogman can reach 95 dodge with only decent trinkets and can also dish out stuns and bleeds Flag can't guard but he immediately gets to heal up off death's door when he gets walloped, as long as your other frontliner is self sustaining he's a fine choice for all the bleed and pinch healing he brings Never leave a giant encounter to chance
The flaggelant nerf was not warranted and you cannot change my mind. Also I keep a custom skill ini for tweaks to various classes including making antis flashpowder mark enemies for 1 turn and regen all party members for 1/2/3 every turn for 3/4/5 turns, AND i give the occultist a regen as well, effectively making his heal actually useful. And guess what? You can't stop me.
Nathaniel Flores
How could you user? I put all my love into this 0 Bleed and this is how you repay me?
>antis flashpowder mark enemies for 1 turn and regen all party members for 1/2/3 every turn for 3/4/5 turns she's supposed to be useless as a tradeoff for her jew powers, not the single strongest class in the game
>get urge to play >do nothing but play it for weeks >get sick of it when I fall into a bit of a rut >drop it for months till I start again with a new save its like fucking minecraft
>Bring Occultist with me >Have him heal my no health Leper >Gives a 0 heal with added bleed bonus >After that he crit heals my not so low hellion This motherfucker I swear to god
The only sad part is that he doesn't deal any damage upon death.
Eli Powell
He casually summoned a baby Heart-type being onto the farmstead, so it's prob not his first attempt. So something like the Sleeper I guess, only given more time to mature
Brody Thomas
>Leper only thinks about his own fights his whole life >in the end he still choose to do it so the others can live I like it.
Should I play darkest dungeon? What even is it? I don't even know what genre it is and I've definitely not played anything like it before from what I can tell. I like games with despair or bleakness as the aesthetic. Is there a barrier to entry or is this a game anyone could pick up and enjoy? I only ask because I'm poor as fuck atm and can only convince myself to buy any form of media I will 100% enjoy
Logan Carter
>see these threads >get the urge to try the game again >remember it's just sickdark Kancolle at least someone keeps making lewd pics
If you've eve4 played Paper Mario, it's sort of like it, just more complicated
Isaiah Adams
Men have been conditioned to die for their tribe's women since the dawn of time. The tribe that kept their women from being raped and killed is the tribe that survived the early years of human kind. Women need to remain alive so they can reproduce and further the species.
Camden Russell
You can always pirate and yes you should play the game if you're willing to be always ready to lose your heros whom you spend days training. It's a ruthless game but the aesthetic is very good.
Evan Smith
It's just a shitty grind simulator with some good atmosphere and catphrases that people love repeating
Matthew Diaz
turn based management RPG you choose and handle a roster of mercs, assemble teams of 4 to crawl through a dungeon and try to kill the monsters and reclaim the treasures of your estate without them dying or going insane. permadeath is always on and cant be turned off, but there is always fresh meat coming in via the stagecoach if you lose people it's simple to play and combat is turn based so you can take it at your own pace, but there's a lot to learn with regards to party comp, stress management and enemy capabilities to get your expeditions running safely and profitably
Carter Evans
it's one of my favorite games of all time and I can see myself going back and playing it years and years from now. if you can't afford it, just pirate it and save up for the sequel later this year.
I did git gid tho I just didn't want to spent another 30 hours of the same shit I did for the first 10 or so
Grayson Miller
Game is easier than Paper Mario, some of those button prompts are finicky. DD is just pure info burden, no one has to die if you're not a brainlet or learn the exploits.
Ian Gonzalez
Thanks for the responses. Sounds high risk/high reward which is something I can get invested in and sink a lot of time into. There's only so many times I can replay Bloodborne
Jason Martin
>Sounds high risk/high reward that's completely wrong
Charles Ramirez
Who is best girl and why is it Shieldbreaker? I've been spoiled by her range and armor-piercing; any comp I make without her just feels suboptimal now
Nathan Allen
Is Jester, may I say, the most fun class to play?
Jason Kelly
He's certainly interesting, and has turned out to be more useful than I expected in certain situations. And then I lost him, my only Jester, who was with me from the start. RIP Trelli
My friends ironically laughed at me when I told them that the Jester was quite good. My favorite combo was a cleave comp: 4.Man at Arms full buffs with max protect and guarding 3.Buffing high SPD Jester with bleed offskills 2.Glasscannon Leper 1.Shuffling Highwayman with enough speed to be 2nd so Leper goes in 1st spot and gets the buffs from the items.
I swear to god the fucking damage from a Leper with a team around him is disgusting.
Leo Taylor
So what are you guys hoping to see with DD2?
Jacob Barnes
>The flaggelant nerf was not warranted and you cannot change my mind. I used them against the countess and in two darkest dungeon missions post-nerf and they were still the best members of my team, if they used to be even stronger the nerf was definitely deserved.
Joseph Wright
It's not really high risk/high reward, it's more about risk management. Do you keep pushing, or do you cut your losses/quit while you're ahead?
Isaac Sullivan
Who canonically died at the heart/collector, yetis
Cooper Butler
Anyone we see in the trailer we can probably eliminate from that list
Austin Reed
I wonder if they'll go for a At the Mountains of Madness vibe, and I wonder what spin they'll put on it. One of the cool things I liked about DD is how it not only drew on Lovecraft, it drew on other weird fiction like William Hope Hodgson.
If it references The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym I will grin like a mad man.
Juan Campbell
Less grinding.
Jace King
I want to bury my face in that ass until I pass out.
Joseph Edwards
God he was such a chad when he was young.
Samuel Williams
>implying he still isn't He was plowing a girl maybe a third his age in the opening cinematic.

yeah it's totally not a mobage at all

Mostly this. It's a bit more forgiving on the easier difficulties, but still bullshit. Each successful mission only gives you marginal gains, but all it takes to lose everything is just one or two bad fights
Wyatt Sanders
Stop user im trying to not fap rn
Jason Baker
honestly this setting is way too grimy and dark for me to find anything attractive about it. looks like nobody in this setting bathes and probably sits in a layer of filth and flea's.
I just cant get off to shit like that. Felt the same way about Dark souls and For Honor.
My fucking BOUNTY HUNTER GOT CRIT FOR 47 OUT OF HIS 33 HEALTH AND THEN A BASTARD CRAWLING [[[FUCK]]] FOLLOWS UP WHEN I CANT EVEN REACT OF COURSE YOU ALREADY KNOW IT DEATHBLOWS HIM BECAUSE THE CRIT WASN'T LUCKY ENOUGH ON ITS OWN
Remind yourself that everything out of the Ancestor's mouth is a lie concocted by a scared alien trying to keep you from ousting it from your world through righteous fury.
Aaron Stewart
Good to know I'm not the only one with a dead Bounty Hunter from those retards. I miss you, Anzeray. You chopped up titty fish like no other.
Gabriel Gomez
same, shes based
Noah Thomas
You still foolishly consider yourself an entity separate from the whole, but I know better. And I. will. show you.
>only reliable strategy is stunlock and stress heal >devs decided to "balance" this out and make the strategy rely around RNG even more I really love the game but im wary about what they decide to do with the sequel
Lincoln Parker
This one because it makes a lot of sense canonically
Boiling, unresolved sexual tension between Crusader and Vestal
Christopher Richardson
Nothing, Red Hook are busy dribbling on the long-decayed knob of Lovecraft's cock. You think there's any purpose to this nihilistic wank?
Camden Price
Houndmaster is best boy
Jose Reed
Is there a Giantdad skin for leper yet?
Evan Murphy
Reynauld and Dismas better have canonical survived and vanquished the Heart.
I'll be pissed if Red Hook doesn't let them find redemption
Jordan Gonzalez
>repetitive and boring It is tho. I like the game but a large chunk of it is grinding.
Kevin Perry
There has to be right? Theres a Dark Souls and BB skin for pretty much every class at this point
Gabriel Gomez
>Implying dying to the heart isn't them finding redemption.
Luke Foster
They're gonna be living in guilt for the rest of their lives though, heart or no heart. The sacrifice is suppose to be the redemption
Jose White
>implying the Crusader isn't a flaming homo At the very least, he beats it to the sight of plate armor and polearms.
Wyatt Robinson
They should be npcs in Darkest Dungeon 2.
Jason Wright
I honestly wonder if the 2 games are going to have relating story. Im expecting them to do a Zelda type of deal where its the same themes and story, but different settings characters etc.
Jack Lee
>Literally has a son >flaming homo user do you know how sex works?
Aiden Turner
The only thing he's beating it to is the giant pile of shit he stole from me like a fucking nigger.
Cameron Morris
Apparently going to the Darkest Dungeon scars you for life. Do you really want them to have to deal with that? Much better they go out in a blaze of glory, especially Dismas after all the guilt he has.
Nicholas Powell
Pretty sure Reynault will have sacrificed, but Dismas would give in to fear at the last moment and be even more burdened with guilt.
Isaac Jenkins
I could see them expanding more on the story. Color of Madness already throws whether the Heart is truly the world's god into question, so I could see them going more into depth.
Also I know it's not very lovecraftian, but I wouldn't mind if said additions makes it so the world isn't completely fucked.
Brayden Rogers
>after the crusade and many assfucking among his brothers in arms, has a chance to go back to his loving wife and son >fucks off without saying a word I think I have an idea, yes.
Gabriel Young
>I wouldn't mind if said additions makes it so the world isn't completely fucked. That negates the lovecraftian nihilism the game is going for though so I doubt it. As far as expanding on the story, they might do a little but we should probably expect a new story entirely. DD is one of those, lets make it vague to enhance the spookyness, mystery, and interpretation of it all. So I wouldnt expect a whole lot of exposition as far as the last game goes.
Well alright, thanks. I'm guessing it also reduces your death count on Stygian/Bloodmoon, and that I can't get it when the insects are buzzing around.
Benjamin Anderson
One of his best deliveries.
Gabriel Clark
Insects, no. As for death count, I have no idea, but I'm prepared to say they don't reduce it.
Ethan Miller
ANCESTOR MOUSTACHE CREAM
Adam Price
But where is his beard cream?
Gavin Nelson
Isn't beard and moustache the same kind of hair?
Lucas Phillips
I suppose they are, but Ancestor seems like the type of guy to have one for each.
Luis Rivera
>DD2 is a first person game that changes the camera depending which guy's turn is yfw
Nathaniel Lee
Legend of Grimrock with Darkest Dungeon aesthetics would be the only game I ever played
Andrew Powell
FUCK CULTISTS FUCK PIRATES FUCK MUSHROOMS FUCK FARMERS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FUCK ME
Anthony Jenkins
IDK, we've already killed one Eldritch horror in the first game (two if you count sleeper). Making the quest to be about killing another similar being seems like retreading old ground
>killed one Eldritch horror You only put it back to sleep. And the time fuckery of the Color of Madness means that the other is likely always going to exist in some form.
Owen Gutierrez
You only put the Heart to sleep. That was the whole point of the ending. You realize that it's full awakening is inevitable and will completely destroy the world, and in despair you shoot yourself like your ancestor did
Ancestor possible did a long con on some monastery on a mountain or some shit like what he did to the farmstead.
Parker Mitchell
Alright, subduing the heart then. I wouldn't be excited at the prospect of fighting him a second time. Though who knows, maybe the game will be different enough to feel fresh
Hudson Davis
I miss /dadg/
Jeremiah Reed
Hot a What Bahhbitbhat
Blake Edwards
just started playing and dont intend to take houndmaster because i dont want to risk dog dying
David Brown
Invest in dodge trinket and dodge-related abilities
It's def one of those games where you can play while leaving a video of podcast in the background
Landon Bell
The dog cant die. The houndmaster protects her to the end. Even if the party dies, the dog survives spending the rest of the game at her master's grave
Lucas Butler
Stop
Henry Roberts
>houndmaster protects her to the end How can one man be so best?
that doesNT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER I WISH I DIDNT COME BACK TO THIS THREAD
Charles Robinson
Imagine the amount of people who have failed due to the amount of bad advice in this guide. I'd go through the effort of updating it but it might upset people who play expecting to fodder off their heroes.
Being splashed by some creepy skeleton's bone juice does sounds spooky by itself. What is he trying to achieve this way?
Landon Robinson
No matter what kind of disease the good doctor is carrying. I would bury my face in that ass in an instant.
Blake Peterson
Pretty sure him getting raped in the ass was what caused this thing to be created.
Adrian Scott
The game isn't HARD, I mean you literally can't lose, it's just an extreme grind.
Alexander Torres
Casual reminder that Crusader did not return to his wife and son because he had to go stop the horrors the ancestor unleashed.
If he lives he'll finally go home and be a good dad until Darkest Dungeon 2 forces him back into action
Mason Ross
This
Jacob Cox
>What did they mean by this
THEY'VE MEANT THAT THEIR GAME IS A FUCKING RNG PACHINKO ONE HANDED BANDIT GACHA SHIT THAT HEAVILY RELIES ON RANDOM MECHANICS AND FUCKS TALENTED HIGH IQ PEOPLE LIKE ME OVER, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!
AND FUCK THEIR SHIT CLASSES LIKE OCCULSHIT LITERALLY DESIGNED TO FUCK YOU UP
