Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen PC |OT| Wolves hunt in 4K

I have this really weird problem right at the beginning of the game.
I left to collect the herbs (the first quest you get) and went back in and out to get the herbs at night. Since I left for the "night herbs"
I am unable to re-enter the first village - the game just gets stuck in the loading screen. I already did do the stuff you do at the
pawn camp
including
slaying the hydra. so my next main quest would be to present the hydra's head to some nobility dude for which the quest marker seems to point me to my home town.

Any help? Checking the game cache at the moment. Hope that helps.

Checking the game cache fixed it. Steam game cache checking - doing magic things since its inception.

It's Impossible right now to inject new code to the game... don't expect it anytime soon. Better to ask them to bring dragons dogma online

Now I heard that there was original code for multiplayer on the disc that was scrapped in favor of the pawn system....

Was that just some goofy false rumor?

Fell to her death/into water somewhere, got petrified, or Death took her.

Note, even if you give Secret Softeners or Cockatrice Liquors to all of your pawns, if they are down (waiting to be revived) when they get hit by the petrification attack they will insta-die and be removed from your party. That's what happened to LiQuid's pawn in my game yesterday.

And yes all the stuff she's carrying went to storage so don't worry.
 
So I kinda accidentally went into NG+. Will I be missing out on anything if I start BBI now? I know that equipment vendors have all their items reset to the lowest tiers, is that the only difference?

Nope, BBI will be the same. It's just annoying having to re-do the hydra quest to unlock Gran Soren (which isn't strictly necessary but having access to the Black Cat can be useful).
 
My characters keep randomly glowing green now and I don't know why. I just started to notice it in the post-game but it might have coincided with these new pawns I got. I don't think this mage has a spell that's doing it, and nothing is appearing under my status conditions.

edit: srsly what is this

Check your secret augment, it might be mettle.

Daimon doesn't miss around

I feel like I need lv3 weapons to kill him.

Torpor EVERYTHING!

I'm about to fight the dragon for the first time. I'm currently Mystic Knight vocation 5. Enemies bumped in toughness quite a bit from the overworked to the pre-dragon dungeon, would you recommend I jump back and change my vocation to something I have maxed? (Strider, Ranger, Mage).

Also, more importantly, what do I do once I beat the dragon? I missed quite a few quests on my first run going in blind, I don't want to miss out on end/post game.

If there is something like that, It still need a lot of different things to achieve it... UI changes, party system/search, network code...

I'm 99.99% sure it's not possible to mod it.

You can't save scum cursed items. They are set in stone when your character is created.

You can save scum. It's not set in stone, it's based off of your vocation (and your pawn's) when identifying. Did that all the time on the console version. That's also how you easily deck out your pawn.
edit: the pool you draw from might be generated at character creation, but if so, it's still a pool full of items across all vocations.

Also:

Bitterblack items are not picked randomly but comes from predetermined lists hardcoded into the game.

On entering Bitterblack Isle for the first time, each player have a "seed" initialyzed randomly for each cursed item (Bitterbalck Novelty 1, 2, 3; Bitterblack Gear 1, 2, 3; Bitterblack Weapon 1, 2, 3 and Bitterblack Armor 1, 2, 3), which correspond to a value from the list.

Doesn't really change much, but it's not character generation.

My bad, double checked: it's not done at character creation, it's done when you loot the item. The roll is decided then for each color. No amount of reloading will change what you get from each pool. The only way to reroll the item is to gift the cursed version to another player.

Basically each cursed item has 3 set items associated to it.
1 for red vocation, 1 for yellow vocation, 1 for blue vocation.
You can save scum to find out what they are and then choose which one you want.

Man, when i get back home i'll change my pawn back to sorcerer. She is a ranger now. But i'm not feeling it. And i'll change her hair color. That comment about red heads is hurting my feelings.

Mine has been a red head since x360, only changed it because the BBI stuff looks better on her with different hair, but she's downgraded atm so she's back to being a red head.

Hey, wasn't sure it counted as "spellcasting" :p. Is there any other items that make the recharge time even shorter?

There might be some armour that reduces it but I'm not sure, the rest comes from augments.

I wanted my male pawn to have blonde hair to look a bit Nordic, but I don't really like the blonde hues available in the character creator, so I went with red instead. Guess he'll be a Celt warrior/mage instead. :D

Leveling up is so fast after clearing BBI for the first time it's insane! went from 80-88 in under an hour :O

Can you get plastic surgery in this game? My character looks like Rumor Willis, and not in a good way.

I can't remember when, but you can change both your character's and your pawn's appearance at some point

Why do huge monsters appear every time I freaking escort somebody? Madeleine died because a chimera came out of nowhere. Last time it was a gryphon. UGH
 
so I'm noticing in all these screenshots, that no matter how good the ENBs may make the game look better, I see a ton of jaggies. Is that because ENB recommends turning off FXAA? how to fix the jaggies then?
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
My fatwizard is no more. Since I started playing MK full time I couldn't handle the stretched out textures on armor anymore, so I redid my arisen.

I'm gonna miss u fatwizard!
 
Anyone have any idea as to why my game is a studdering mess? I can't play in full screen @ 1440p without the framerate dropping to ~4-7fps. Windowed I'll get a 144fps, but full screen I get 4.

980Ti
i74770k
16gb ram
1440p Gsync monitor.

I have no clue, I guess I could see if the Bordeless Windows program works with this game.
 
I think I found out why all the pawns are pretty redheaded ladies. My pawn's been rented at least 3 times (and someone played quite a bit with it, since I got a nice haul of RC) yet everyone seems to rank him as a 3 star guy (looks, everything)

:(

I guess grey haired mages aren't people's thing.
