That feel when you rest at an inn to find that seven people used your pawn (though 1 was a 3 star rating with a rock for a gift...).

lol weird. Lady Aelinore became max affinity just by doing her one quest. Definitely don't want that. Time to get more Cloudwine...

After getting Symone in my first playthrough I started giving some people effluvium. Just in case.
Yep. Or punch them a few times. You hear a sound that signifies lowering of affinity. After you don't hear the sound anymore you can stop punching and using the Ferrystone to get away before the guards throw you in jail for assault lol.

I'm too lazy to buy effluvium so I just punch them. xD

Moaradin, you don't need Cloudwine for Mercedes (I'm assuming, since it's her favourite gift) if you have the Arisen's Bond. Though if you got locked out of the Witchwood quests I guess you have to.
 
Why does dodge roll not consume any stamina? Definitely faster than walking... which means the slight min/maxxer in me might make me want to dodge roll to all my locations

Me and my main pawn. I had four just give me positive feedback on her. Thanks for RC, guys.

I just realized, I've been using your pawn since around level 20 (46 now). Or at least, I've been using a female Sorcerer with that name and same hair color, although the hairstyle is different and her Arisen is a Ranger. Going to send her back to get the updated version since it looks much better.

am I the only one that always gets a server problem after resting at the inn?

it tries to reach the server to get what players have used my pawn but it never manages to do so, it says that the server didn't answer or something like that.

Why is the duchess so hated again?
I totally forgot.
Gets choked by her zombie husband and then says you were there to rape her?
Nah. That was an understandable reaction on her part, she was just frightened and clearly felt bad about it.

What I hate about her is
how she's a forced love interest, but is just a really insipid character. Just a standard "help me good warrior!" *throws self at you* damsel without any kind of interesting personality. She's vacuous.

I've been doing some serious leveling on this game with that double XP/Gold item. I feel like it kind of broke the game for me.... Until I went to BBI and got crushed.
 
Here's what happened the second time I tried messing with the ENB settings

I did get everything looking right eventually but after that I gave it up, the performance hit wasn't worth it.

I haven't even gotten to that point. Just downloading and figuring out which version to use is messing with me. Like, do I use the wrapper or injector version? Why is there s separate injector app?

Haha, I'm only up to 1 rental myself, but it's a pretty cool way of doing MP. I keep forgetting to release pawns at the end of a session so I end up doing a release and rental the next day.

I totally forgot.
Aside from the totally eye rolling
forced romance and dialogue, she basically ruined my attempt to get Mercedes as beloved. I knew how the system worked, so I gave up Mercedes and tried to get Selene instead (anyone but the duchess)... But the duchess is now living in my house anyway. Attempt failed.
Damn that stupid Dragon...

She's also too much of a typical damsel in distress. Piss off bitch. This lady warrior has her own battles to fight.
 
Finally rested at an inn.... whoa. 9 people used my pawn. 3 were 0 RC, sent me back with a rock and 3* ratings :( One of those 0 RC rocks also commented "failed to meet expectations". With 0 RC, what could she have possibly failed at?? lol.

Reizo and Lanrutcon though. Wow! Thanks! Appreciate it so much :) I have 180k RC now lol.

Hehe np ;]

Are there any important skills I will miss for a Magic Archer if I don't level up mage and sorcerer? Those two classes just don't seem very fun to play.

I'm a little confused on the climbing mechanics. Ok so I press RT to grab on, and I can use the joystick to climb. I can also use A to jump up higher. Now if I want to grab on again while I am jumping, do I need to HOLD RT or let go and press it again to grab?

You don't have to hold RT while climbing. Press RT again while jumping to grab.

You didnt, although im getting a "you didnt play the real Dragons Dogma because you skipped everfall" vibe from some people :p

Whatever, it is what it is and im not going to stop the place im loving like i havent in a ling time in a videogame just to go the other place that im "supposed" to even tho I was having zero fun in it

Also, unrelated but i dont get how people are in the hundreds, i didnt skip any quest and im only 55 :(

I went to BBI about 3-4 days ago at level 65 and I'm now level 130. The levels come pouring in fast, but to be fair I've been playing a lot. LOL

Once you're on, you don't need to keep the button held down. If you jump off, you'll need to press RB again to initiate another grab.

Damn, I should have changed the code earlier. Packing up files and uploading. It still far from perfect tho', many settings have not been modified yet.

I finally got rentals! Seventeen of them! For over 500K RC :O


Thanks if you rented my pawn! My username on steam is the same as my GAF name if you want to check her out, she'll kill enemies with magic and stuff.

So how do i beat death in BBI ?

Also fuck that ogre boss, was beating him and the fucker decided to jump of a cliff

Stock up on Blast Arrows. But he's actually designed to be gradually killed through the course of the game. So anytime you take down a bar of his health it will stay that way, there's a decent chance you'll lose a couple pawns each time he spawns though.

The indoor shot is amazing, but the outdoor one has too much bloom on it imho.
Yup, it's part of the new code I'm using, I've yet to understand it completly, plus the fact that I'm heavily relying on Bloom + Lens to fight crushed levels of blacks.

Anyway, sending everything needed to Grief.exe.

Just found the former
Arisen
and Healing spring by accident... this game is amazing.
I've also learnt that escort quests are bloody annoying sometimes when a hungry Griffin is about: sprint away young Arisen!

If anyone wants to add a fellow DragonGAF'er, feel free (for pawn swaps and reciprocated pawnage good times). My pawn still has no uses, but she's keen to go on some other adventures! (Healing/Holy Fire focus Mage).

WOW, thats a pretty dramatic change. Its amazing how different a game looks with simple lighting changes.





But yo, dat magic cannon doe!!!!

This is one of the most broken skill in the game. When I first played the game on 360 I only played as Mage/Sorcerer/Mystic Archer and now on PC it's my favorite class. I killed the
red dragon in the wood
at something like level 22 with the Ice enchant. It's so strong.

Wow, I forgot how tough that altar on the way to meet the group to deliver the hydra head was. Went to the bottom and barely survived the brawl with an army of those lizardmen. Level 15 MK and Ranger pawn isn't enough. >.> I also had a level 15 sorcerer (with no ice spells :( ) and luckily a level 30+ something strider from someone who added me to the friendlist the other day...

I can't believe how hard it is to find good magic users. So many guardian/nexus/acquistor inclinations.

When you release a pawn to switch with another one, does that pawn's inventory go into your bank?

Yes, anytime a pawn is released or dies, everything is returned to you. That's why it's always good to give everyone lanterns (they don't need oil to light them), pickaxes to mine, and anything along the way that you need packmules for (such as crafting items.

Do lanterns on pawns do anything other than give them a glow? It seems like the arisen is the only one with an actual light output - if your lantern goes out, the area isn't lit up by your pawns... at least from what I've noticed.

I was told that after killing the
giant eye boss
in BBI im nowhere near the end of BBI, is that correct? If so, how fucking big is that place / expansion, ive already done a ton
 
Why are pawns dismissed when they fall in deep water? Such bullshit. I hope there's not alot of cliffs/water levels to worry about.

I don't know, but it sucks. Every time it's happened to me has been due to their pathing being bad, either from narrow corridors or their incessant need to be five feet from me at all times.

At least the player can survive (or rather, not die from) it. I've fallen in just enough times for it to be a serious problem otherwise.


The real answer is, the Brine is in the water and it kills people.

They do have a light output, but it's like half the size of the one the Arisen produces. Three pawns with lanterns has always been enough for me to see by. Then again, I prefer to be a ranged fighter so I just look at where my pawns are...

There is one downside - one of the monsters in BBI (
Death
) seems to track your pawns by their lanterns so you may not want to use lanterns in BBI...
