Yeah, I don't know why the fuck I even preload on steam. It takes longer to unpack games than it does to just download them.

eh it took me an hour or two to download this game for me. Unless my engineering degree isn't paying for itself, 30 mins < 1-2 hours

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I am playingggggggg

is the wind pushing you breh?

BREH?!?

 

[chaobreaker]

Hold on, Into Free isn't in DD at all? Just in original vanilla game? Why did they take it out?

 

[blado]

Yay for SSD. Mine unpacked and was ready to go in like 5 minutes.

 

[Char Aznable]

10 mins dkahdgajfafa

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

... and done in 4 minutes according to my rough timing. Not bad.
Time for a quick cuppa and a cake then ... Do It!

 

[Lux R7]

Here we go!!!!

 

[Ryan7556]

So the game seems to be installed and unpacked but the two pre-order bonuses (soundtrack and artwork) don't seem to be? Is it like this for anyone else?

 

[Vazra]

Yays lets start this.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Hold on, Into Free isn't in DD at all? Just in original vanilla game? Why did they take it out?

you can mod into free into the menu music again. I'm not even gonna start the game without doing it lol.

 

[Grief.exe]

Pretty slick

 

[Soulflarz]

You heard it here first

Guy whos taking a day

Go Buy a SSD, also known as a DDD, a Dragons Dogma Drive, and unpack it on that.
:V

 

[raven777]

It says 3 minutes but it has been stuck in 3 minutes for over 5 minutes..

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Don't forget to push the turbo button on those 486s guys!

 

[Slackbladder]

I downloaded this in under 40 minutes. So far it's taken 15 minutes to unpack but nearly done. 5 minutes to go.

 

[Steel]

They took it out in Dark Arisen on console before the PC port because of licensing. You can mod it in relatively easily.

 

[StarlordDial]

alright ! done unpacking and crap ! time to play !

 

[Rhaknar]

so I guess make my pawn a tank if im going to play a ranged character would be the smart thing to do?

 

[Soulflarz]

Honestly, Into Free is a great joke song, I love the DA opening a lot though.

You need a mage. Grab a mage off the store shelf if you do that :V

 

[totoro'd]

woot i'm in

 

[Palculator]

lmao

 

[Steel]

You could do that, or you could make your pawn a mage for heals.

Honestly, Into Free is a great joke song, I love the DA opening a lot though.

Personally I hate the DA opening, which makes Into Free more appealing, imo.

 

[Baalzebup]

So regarding the best time to play the expansion content, is it possible to finish the game and play the Bitterblack stuff afterwards? Or do you have to go to Bitterblack before

Spoiler

turning in the wakestones mentioned in the OP?

Story-wise, it even makes the most sense if you only travel to BBI in NG+. You get plenty of world-building exposition right at the very end which ties in to the BBI parts. This game has endless looping NG+.

 

[StarlordDial]

Imma try streaming this thing since it's my first time lmao
http://www.twitch.tv/aldz24

watch me fail on hard mode or whatever lol

;_; hold me gaf

 

[Dineren]

So many steam popups taunting me with people starting DD while I'm stuck at work for another 4 hours.

 

[pablito]

Excited for the people getting into this for the first time. I know you guys have been waiting, what, 4 years?

I'll be double dipping eventually. But for now, enjoy.

 

[Manatox]

I seriously have no luck 30 half a hour ago our power went down and still isn't back.. It had to happen at this time of all times...

I hope i get to play it today somehow.

 

[Moaradin]

Drag. Drop.

https://mega.nz/#!iItX1ZgL!_Y7XaVOJcraYyrDi-s-wDNPIQUQ2KlBR4Y9t_YWVL5s

this one is constantly looping all weird. I need a proper mod!

edit: this one works perfectly

 

[A Grizzly Bear]

Pretty slick

I'm waiting for mine to say "Installed" before I get my hopes up that it works.

Edit: Just flipped to "Ready to play". Remote unlocking of preloads... thank you Lord Gaben.

 

[Lux R7]

I'm looping into free. All this Dragon's Dogma love makes me so happy

 

[Nyteshade517]

this is weird...

the Art Book still won't install but the OST says it is...but there's no OST files in my folder

??

 

[Seik]

is the wind pushing you breh?

BREH?!?

Thinking about that.

They removed that song for DA, right?

Maybe mods could make it happen and slam it back in once again!!! Song was hype as hell!

 

[Jinaar]

Wish I was home right now. 7 more hours. Will just have to drink my way thru work.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Only halfway unpacked 15 minutes later....

 

[MisterSamMan]

I'm looping into free. All this Dragon's Dogma love makes me so happy

* high five * I am doing the same!

All this waiting for the game to unpack is getting me more and more excited.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Thankfully I got the sweet OST, $13 by itself.

 

[Primethius]

Anyone have a SweetFX profile they really like before I go hunting some down? I already did the HBAO+ stuff in the OP.

 

[Zomba13]

Honestly, Into Free is a great joke song, I love the DA opening a lot though.

Nothing about the Dangan is a joke.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Where's Hard Mode? All it shows are Normal and Easy.
Edit: never mind, it's in the next menu.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Nothing about the Dangan is a joke.

seriously mods plz ban

 

[Majukun]

Where's Hard Mode? All it shows are Normal and Easy.

you select it from inside the game if i remember correctly

 

[johancruijff]

lawl

you waited 4 years, one more won't kill you

 

[loganclaws]

Does this game have a good story and side quests similar to X-blades?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Does this game have a good story and side quests?

it has a decent enough story though a bit cheesy. Side quests are ok, you play it for the combat and the old school d&d inspiration to it.

 

[A Grizzly Bear]

this is weird...

the Art Book still won't install but the OST says it is...but there's no OST files in my folder

??

Looks like something happened to it. Before there was a store entry for both the OST and Art Book. Now there's just one for the OST.

 

[Isomac]

I made the right decision this time and didn't pre-load! I am downloading this faster than unpacking.

 

[MUnited83]

Finished unpacking. Here I go.

 

[Zomba13]

BRB, flying into free.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

so I guess make my pawn a tank if im going to play a ranged character would be the smart thing to do?

That's the way to go, is to have a balanced team of pawns that suits your playstyle.

This was a ranged character I had that was pretty fun:

No story spoilers, just a minor boss battle at the last area of the game.

 

[Primethius]

Side-quests are basically an excuse to hunt down monsters and engage in combat.
