Just go kill the Ur Dragon for Ascalon, or try to purify a lvl2 cursed weapon for Cursed Light.
I went through some text files in the game some days ago, and I found the text file which has the full list of feedback you can give to pawns. There's actually a whole bunch of negative comments like "Lacked in combat prowess." and "Did little to aid allies."
Considering it's still in the game files they must have taken it out really late. I guess they decided negative comments would be too mean, but I think it's a shame they didn't leave that in there.

Those ones that you mentioned are in the game...
I've used both. Usually in combination with gifting a rotten egg or something

After you reach Gran Soren, travel to the quarry west of the city, do a quest for a guy there. He will hook you up.
Nope, but I think the game install automatically as you play or something (and leaves 4gig of data onto your hdd).
No range and everything range will one shot you. You'll take brutal damage up close with no real escapes other than jumping or hoping you can stagger/knock them down. Asides from that, you'll be okay.
Damn, was hoping there was something I could do to lower the load times.
They are? Whoopsie. I should look at the ingame list again. The list of negative comments is pretty long in the text file, but it's possible my memory is so bad they are actually all in the game.
Thinking about switching from assassin to fighter or back to strider to pick up some more skills, would i regret this? i'm in the mid 30s right now. Is it possible to max (or near max) 2 or even 3 vocations? I find sticking to assassin with its mostly night-oriented buffs kind of limiting. but i'll probably move back to it after i get some more abilities to augment myself
does my discipline reset or wipe if i reclass, or does all that discipline stick to that vocation and it remain there when i switch back to it? the stuff i've read is not clear on this point

I'm doing that right now. Have you beaten the game before in vanilla? I know this game pretty well and I'm in boatloads of trouble. How much trouble you ask? Starting from lvl 1, I'm 8 hours in and I've died 351 times.
Are you gonna be tinkering with this game too Sectus? Could you make it so that you could give yourself 3 main pawns?
Holy smokeballs.
No I haven't played the game before. I play vanilla DD tho.
Mh, 1H + Shield more viable then, if I run into trouble?
It's still pretty damn hard. I'm lvl 25 and I get one shot by bandits shooting a single charged shot at my back. And you can't block much as well unless you're doing nothing but perfect blocks. Blocking wipes out my stamina very quickly.
Sounds like Dark Souls. I'm all in for that!

But he sells Griffith's armor or am I missing something?

dagger classes get a pretty sweet dodge. if you want to go light armor, play that.
I think he sells both, Guts' armor just isn't named in such an obvious way as Griffith's armor.

Btw. what armor am I looking for as an Assassin in bbi? Found a trophy jacket, but that seems to be an ideal one for magick archer with +24 magick.
Oblivion/Shadow set from lvl 3 cursed armor items.

Why bother selling when you have infinite storage space? Unless you're like insanely strapped for cash.

The gryphic armour and cape are awesome! Got it all from chests, have it on my pawn now.
When you rest at an inn, you'll get a message saying your pawn has returned from another realm etc.

So i beat the main DD story back when i first got it, and then quit before really doing much in
. just picked up Dark Arisen last week and have been re-familiarizing myself with the controls/combat running around the field and did 2 "sections" of
. I feel like my attacks are doing damn near nothing though, and that i'm grossly underleveled or underequipped. I just hit 53 last night fighting a boss.
Where are you guys grinding levels or gear before you can get to this "UR Dragon" thing? To be clear the best stuff i got is the 200k-300k weapon from the blacksmith postgame and the 2 dragon weapons i got from the story fight.

I did this too. This is the first time I've played the game, so I didn't know I could do that. When I took the initial quest I tried heading in the spot marked on my map but the enemies on there way there kicked my ass hard. I figured I'd wait until I was stronger and then try again, but now it's gone. Am I missing anything important because of this?

Spent most of the day yesterday getting into this awesome game!! Lots of fun so far, a couple small gripes but they have been voiced by others, and hardly significant enough to detract from the experience and gameplay.
Climbing around on a giant monster while it flails around like a pissed off gorilla has its charm.

You can lock out certain quests and lose future interactions with the npc. The importance of it depends on your rpg ocd. Personally, I fuckin hate missing quests in a game, so before I even started the game (or any game) I checked a quest/missable list. I don't spoil myself on anything major, I just try to make sure I know what to expect with how the game handles stuff. This game has A TON OF MISSABLES and you will ienvitably encounter some without a guide. It's just how the game is designed. The game does keep track of completed quests throughout your subsequent playthroughs, so it's easy to clean stuff up/try new stuff out later, but that's just not my style of play.

I'll try meleeing him then that would be a new way to beat him. (what do you do when he vortexes then while in melee range , does the aoe spell stagger him, the name eludes me)
I find holy cannon incredibly boring as well (and BBI just makes using it laborious and akward)
I've beat him as every other class, MK with holy cannon (which I saw recommended before) was just the shittiest way by far. Double Sorc probably the most challenging because you need to work to get your spells off. Ranger the (laughably) easiest.
BBI minobosses+ trash as tank MK still fails though, simply because you don't have a taunt, I could see it work if you solo but running after mobs and hoping they'll try to hit you and not leap/fly/pounce/charge at your sorc instead is not my idea of fun.
Mk has tools to control the small enemies but who gives a damn about those anyhow they die in one hit, it's when theres 3 wargs or 2 dragons or 2 annihilators and some hellhounds that I end up having to pick up my pawns every other second because MK cannot tank. Perfect blocks are (too) easy you get so many frames to do it, but getting the mobs to want to hit you (while fighting with the camera indoors) defeats the point for me.
Fighter should have been the class with reflect tbh.
I've experimented a little bit with the game. I dunno how much time I'll devote to it. It might be interesting to mess around with the enemy spawns, but it would be much easier to motivate myself if this was on PC.
I have done a few things though. Mostly about editing text and NPCs. I managed to give Caxton a new hairdo for instance: http://abload.de/img/2012-07-02_01-28-31bnieg.jpg
Via savegame editing, you can actually edit everything to do with your 2 support pawns. You could duplicate your main pawn and have them replace your support pawns. But support pawns will still act like support pawns and they won't ever gain XP.

I only need the Gauntlets of Oblivion to complete my set.
That said, I got some pieces with not ideal enchantments on them so I'll refrain from silver/gold dragonforge them until I get the ones I really want.
The quest to get all 13 armaments befouled by devilry is going to take some time >_< Only got 2 of them so far.

I just got the game and jumped back in, I left off after the end of the main story at level 53, with the
big hole in the city
.
I have a few basic questions:
1. How do I find the new content? Should I start there or just work on the post-game quests?
2. I can use the ferrystone unlimited times now, but how do I make new spots to go to? Was there another thing to buy that you put down?
Why is the map so useless? Every time I ask the quests to show on maps, it shows a map with no useful markings.

Is there anywhere I can get Idol of the All-Mother in the second run through BBI?
I remember getting a few in the first run through, but I used them...
Now I need more and I have zero.
It's a very rare drop from the Dark Pawns, mainly the Sorcerer ones.
As said the Shadow/Oblivion sets are the best but you likely won't be getting that stuff until way late into BBI.
The next best stuff is the lvl2 armors: the Patterned Gambeson; Silk Tights; Mercenary Slogs; Dragonwing Gloves/Boots; and maybe the Foreign/Extrinsic Waistguards and the Celestial Armor, though I can't remember if an Assassin can wear those.

I never got the map/quest complaints. If I set a quest as the main quest, it always clearly marks where the area to go is on the map. Hell, for one quest it literally followed in real time npcs in GS as they were moving. There are some quests where there can't be a marker like the general hunting notice board quests, but all in all the map system works like any mmo quest system.

1. After you create your pawn, a purple marker will show up on your map, go to this place at night and it will lead you to Bitterblack Isle. I wouldn't go until you are high-level, 50-75 or above.
2. There are Port Crystals scattered around the world (big things that glow purple), you can place up to 10 of these in locations of your choosing.
3. The map will show you exactly where to go but you must first go into the "Quest" menu and highlight the quest you want and press X to "set as active quest" (highlighted in yellow). Nothing ever explains how to do that so yeah, kinda shitty.

Those show your vocation rank, that's how you unlock new abilities within your class. It's not just for show.
Your level only affects your stat growth, it's the vocation ranks that unlock new abilities to buy.

Each one unlocks a new Augment or Skill to purchase.
