i'm sleepy as fuck, i'll unpack this shit in the morning before I go for a morning jog or something, i'll play then

 

[Skyward Sheep]

The files exist in the game directory, shouldn't be hard at all. You can actually get them already if you edit the stored values of existing armour using something like cheat engine.

Really? Very nice. I won't do that to start with on my own, I on't want to mess with values and fuck something up inadvertently. I'll wait until somebody does it and throws up a small guide.

I also like the title: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen PC |OT| 4K Pawn

 

[Sarcasm]

Can you use ENB and the Nvidia HBAO+ same time?

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I thought we agreed that "Steamworks all" was going to be the OT subtitile? Is it a GAF tradition to never use the best OT title?

idk but whining about OT titles is super lame

 

[ANuclearError]

4670k/760/8GB. Anyone have an idea what I should expect performance wise?

 

[Aztechnology]

I can already tell I'm going to spend way too much time in the character creator.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Y'all better buy this GLORIOUS game so we can hopefully get a sequel!

 

[Blade30]

Love the header.

Only

to go.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Great OP.

Now to decide if I continue Bloodborne or dive straight in Dark Arisen...

 

[Waingro]

Grief, as always, delivers.

 

[daxy]

Stoked.

Dumb question perhaps, but can you use HBAO+ and ENB at the same time?

 

[iNvid02]

if any of you guys end up streaming this in HQ throw us a link, still on the fence

 

[Onimusha78]

The next 4hrs shall be painful

 

[MakeshiftChef]

Woo, looking forward to this one! I had no idea about the romance part of the game though. That's a wee bit odd. haha

 

[Kriken]

I'm excited to try this out, let's do this

 

[Mozendo]

Finally a thread for people who didn't pirate the game

 

[LiK]

Man, the FAQ is pretty great. Nice job OP

 

[Sarcasm]

Can you use ENB and the Nvidia HBAO+ same time?

Stoked.

Dumb question perhaps, but can you use HBAO+ and ENB at the same time?

>.<

 

[johancruijff]

i'm not ready

 

[Nyteshade517]

The next 4hrs shall be painful

The unlock time they have said and what they have in their FAQ is 9 AM Pacific so it's 3 hours

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Nice OT, but I still don't know what a "dangan" is.

 

[Grief.exe]

Love the header.

Only

to go.

Borrowing!

EDIT: Adjust to 9AM Pacific please.

The unlock time they have said and what they have in their FAQ is 9 AM Pacific so it's 3 hours

Q) Will there be a preload? What time exactly is the game launching
A) Pre-load is scheduled to begin later in the evening on Friday, Jan. 8th PST. Game will launch and unlock worldwide on Jan. 15th (Fri) at 9:00AM PST.

 

[Neoweee]

Nice OT, but I still don't know what a "dangan" is.

That's what Jar Jar Binks is.

 

[daxy]

>.<

Great minds...

:b

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

That's what Jar Jar Binks is.

Ah, it finally makes sense. Thank you.

That always was really baffling to me - I have no idea what they were going for with the current system considering how often it backfires, unless it was always intended to be a comedic thing. At the very least, restricting your possible 'partner' by gender seems like it'd be a fairly easy thing to implement - I'm assuming it hasn't been fixed in the port at all?

 

[Uthred]

Never felt that Dragon's Dogma was even trying for the same kind of experience as Dark Souls, as the second comment says the similarities are superficial at best. Commentary which sets up Dark Souls as some kind of "Big bang" in terms of fantasy action games is as tiresome as it is short sighted. The Souls series wasnt even the origin of the Souls style gameplay in FROM's output alone, never mind the industry at large. The series has certainly been influential but seeing everything, often tenuously, is exasperating. Especially in the case of a game that was in development before the game came out.

 

[Majukun]

still deciding how my main and pawn are gonna look like

 

[Mad Season]

Dragonborn! wait...

ready to go!

 

[LegendX48]

So glad this day is finally here

Gonna install this soon as I get home from work.

 

[neojubei]

Awesome OP. Cannot wait to play this game

 

[Baalzebup]

Oh yeah, that is a very nice OT indeed. FAQ covers pretty much everything important.

Though I would mention these as well:

You can change your and your pawns vocation at Bitter Black Island in addition to the inn keeper at Gran Soren.

The narrative portions of BBI only make sense after you have completed the main story once, as it delves into the themes that come up in the narrative once you meet up with the Dragon again.

Edit: Well, I guess Wbacon did actually cover the latter

Q) How do I access the Bitterblack Isle ("BBI") expansion content?
A) You must complete the early quest at the Encampment, create your main pawn, and then return to Cassardis at night time. Follow the purple marker on the mini-map to the dock area and talk to Olra. Be warned that BBI is considered post-game content. Players are advised to beat the main story before visiting BBI.

Well in the OP it says that there's an item you can get to max out the affinity of whatever NPC you want. Just make sure you don't max out any others afterwards.

Remember to join the Steam Group, folks! Link is in the OP.

Also remember to add people to your friends list from the group!

 

[UltraJay]

idk but whining about OT titles is super lame

I apologize.


Thinking about trying this out in Hard mode for the outfits (plus achievement?). According to the wiki apparently random loot drops of Rift Crystals never happen and are instead gold on hard mode. Is this true? I know there are other ways to earn Rift Crystals but I would still like to get them as drops.

 

[Abylim]

Such an amazing game. Will be amazing on a good computer.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Can't wait to see how well my laptop will handle this. Will buy nao.

 

[J4g3r]

Really wish I didn't play this to death on 360/PS3.

 

[Revan]

The wolves might hunt in 4K....but do they hunt in packs as well? The original release never settled this question....

Spoiler

[Onimusha78]

Oh. Blade30's timer confused me *shakes fist

 

[Knurek]

Grief, wouldn't it be better to suggest injecting SMAA (with Reshade or whatever) than to use FXAA from NVIDIA control panel?

 

[Ogawa-san]

My addition to beginner tips: Sinew! Extra carry weight goes a long way in this game.

Learn it, love it, never unequip it.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Informative OP. Pre-loaded and waiting!

 

[Cirdan]

Ready to be pushed by the wind once again.

All roads lead to Gran Soren.

Starting with a strider this time around.

 

[Grief.exe]

If someone could update this timer for me to reflect 9 AM Pacific, that would be much appreciated.

 

[Cannon Goose]

I'm still not sure if I should try Hard Mode. I finished the main game once already (PS3 version) on Normal but haven't seen any of the DLC content.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

My addition to beginner tips: Sinew! Extra carry weight goes a long way in this game.

Learn it, love it, never unequip it.

yup. Why I plan on going fighter->strider->ranger

 

[Parfait]

Can you use both a controller and keyboard shortcuts?

Say still have hotkeys for items but otherwise play with my controller.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

If someone could update this timer for me to reflect 9 AM Pacific, that would be much appreciated.

Done

 

[Grief.exe]

Done

Thanks.
