O! How I have seen the Dragon's Dogma thread!

She's a 10/10 character in general. I really love the brutally unromantic story of life, it makes her all the more endearing to be determined to improve by the end of the game. I can't bring myself to have another Beloved than her because I think that hope and support she gets when she moves in with you in Cassardis is what she deserves in every timeline of the Cycle.

How did DDO's story relate to DD? Completely separate universes? Given that it was never localized I can't imagine it having any bearing on DD2.

>tired of eating greenwarish and mushroom
>to lazy to make potion

Adrenaline, World difficulty overhaul and that's about it. Wish they gave DD another DLC. I'd buy it in a flash.

IIRC it's just a completely different continent in the same world.

>Kinda mad at how the game handled certain boss fights. Julien would have been a pretty nice duel if he used the mystic knight abilities, but you just one-shoot him like he's nothing.

The small holes bit is extremely minor and rarely used, and never anywhere important.

The real advantage of small characters is the stamina regen if I recall, but they have a smaller stamina pool and run slower as a tradeoff. You also have a smaller hit box, so there's that.

I can't see myself romancing anyone but Julien.

what does sweaty delicious brown mediterranean butthole taste like?

The bandit chief has great gear. At your level you can’t get through his armor to hurt him effectively. You have a few options though. The easiest is to avoid him by traveling st night but if you really want to kill him, bring a fighter pawn or go fighter yourself. If you manage to stagger him by blocking an attack or hitting him enough you can put him into a full Nelson by holding the grapple button. Enemies detained in this way have their armor reduced to 0 and you or your pawns will be able to kill him in just a couple of hits, rather than hundreds. Virtually every enemy in the game has some kind of tremendous weakness like this that trivializes them.

Post pawns.

I hate these threads, every time one pops up it makes me want to replay the game AGAIN

Please, its only been a month or two since I beat the game and bbi again

I beat the main quest and restarted the game on hard to go to the Butterblack Isle. Boy, everything was going well until I met the gay Ogre. What the fuck is that, he doesn't take any damage and hits like a truck.

I forgot to mention, only red vocations like fighter warrior magic knight and assassin can use the full Nelson. If you try to do it as any other clsss you’ll simply pick him up on your shoulder

Play DDO then.

I never met this guy or what? I remember travelling to aernst castle ruins (in the back) searching for a grimoire tome and I killed shittons of bandits, one of them was pretty strong but not as strong as you people are making him out to be. is he easily beaten by magic or what?
also do enemies scale at all in this game?

He weak to thunder, can put to sleep and torpor, have weak point around between his face and his neck.

I'm wearing a full set of Dragonforged armor and sword. I'll try using lightning when I come back from work.

Where does Bitterblack Isle fit into a play through? I went through the game to the ending once, restarted completely and am at about level 52 now, realized I didn’t touch it again, I’ve just been farming the Ur Dragon. Did I wait too long?

no 50-70 is a good level range to start

My favorite is Warrior, even though everyone hates it.

Assassin does everything the warrior does but without that OP dragon's maw.

Give everything quest important and non curative to your pawn. He should be the mule, not you. Also read up on classes and augments so you can grab stuff as you level up. Lastly, have fun. Don't be the autist that goes 100 levels as assassin just to kill a boss 5 secs faster.

youtube.com/watch?v=UcoLNTG1tTo

Tried warrior for the first time. Made a shortstack female

It's a fun class just restricted it's better in DDO though

I like this way more because I don't have to put up with awful writing from failed novel-writers. Instead I gather a bunch of cool dudes and a cool character I made myself and we go on fun adventures where only useful things like WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS and ALL ROADS LEAD TO GRAN SOREN are said. I feel a lot more affection for my Main Pawn who tanked all kinds of bullshit while I climbed up gorecyclop ass and saved my ass countless time than I care about a lot of the characters I met in party rpgs. I also find the other pawns endearing, hiring a pawn who looks like some dope ass knight and later finding out that he spends entire battles going "you worry about the fighting I'll grab the items!" was fucking great, and you can see a bit of every player's personality in their pawns too

This one's cool and all until someone tries the warrior class and realizes they barely have any skills to play around with when compared to other classes. The number 1 complaint I see about Dogma is usually that one or two classes with very specific set ups trump all the other classes and playstyles but I've always seen Dogma as a "make your own fun" kind of game and it's a damn shame there's barely anything to play around with in the warrior class

>*throws off a cliff*

Try every vocation for at least ten levels. They all have use and sometimes they need to be leveled a few times to shine i.e. fighter and mystick knight don't get timed block until they level up a few times. There's a difference between your character level and your vocation level.

>an open world rpg with a party system, with characters you make yourself
You mean like every decent crpg, you underage fucking b&?

>doing Grigori at level 45 on hardmode
>fight is long as fuck and only 2 attacks aren't one hit kills for me
I'm not sure what to do when he starts floating around since he tends to destroy all ballistas

I fucking love warrior. God damn, Arc of Deliverance is satisfying. And timing lash is cool. But these niggers
Made me restart the game as a mage once I beat it. Hoping your pawns will attack the target you want them to is just no way to play the game.

the metal golem is even worse, I had to use the jump mod and later I switched to mystic knight for keeping my sanity intact even though I wanted to use biggu swordo

Except this one has good gameplay.

I admit I had a crush on her when I was a filthy teenager

Strider is good for feeling like Spiderman.
Mystic Knight is like a super fighter without the usual limitations of the melee classes.
Magic archer has a slow start (early bows do little damage) but insanely good skill, so it ends up destroying everything easily later.
Sorcerer for a slow methodical playthrough.
Ranger to control the field with debilitations and have your pawns take the center stage.

Really, except mage, all vocations have something good.

Ooop I forgot about poor old Warrior. :P
Awesome if you like feel like your blow are actually powerful.

I hope they develop DD2 with a focus on next gen consoles. Would be willing to wait longer if the game ended up running/looking better.

I love it too, even if it's the most limited.

Let's hope that now that DMC 5 is done, they'll start working on a sequel

SHUT THE FUCK UP, BOOMER. There's a reason why this sent went out the window the moment video games had actual writers and a story that couldn't fit on a stamp

noice

I'd love to see some new environments. Weather would be great, too. That clap of thunder before you face the griffin is such a tease.

Yeah, you have that option. But I get bored quickly if I start abusing stuff like blast arrows.
I prefer to reserve Great Gamble for the situations that my pawns can't handle. It's powerful but has enough risk that it doesn't feel cheap.

If they just slap most of DDO's combat improvements on a new game with more variety in envrionments and more and better side quests and main quests then I'd be good to fucking go. I'd also like a better inventory/curatives system but that still preserves a sense of inv management and preparation since that's part of the adventure. I also want more mercedes
