Yes it is.
It boggles my mind everytime people are saying that sub 30fps performance is fine. 30 fps most of the is the minimum, playing games below standard that is just not fun.
I think I beat them at level 10 back then.
Proceed with the main & board quests a bit, and go back for revenge later.
yeah if you don't mind running into some places with some inconveniences, I recall a place where you need to loot a few heavy tablets and it'd require a few pawns to carry them to avoid being encumbered and I think there are pressure plates in some areas, just need to hire them to help for things like that.
The game has some enemies that are specifically strong against physical/magic, but I don't think there's more than one or two.
You also have a whole inventory of items that can help too that no one ever bother using so the game is really flexible.

Does anyone know of any brief guides or writeups of various builds, for a completely new player?
I really hate going in blind, then eventually having to restart due to being unsatisfied with my gimped build.

I like the weight system myself, it makes you think/plan your pawn and character's builds, and your weight/height affect stamina/carrying weight/run speed, etc, I think it's a bit more interesting than how they usually do it in rpgs, I'd suggest not modding it out until you at least try it

thank you pal. i dont expect anything but based on general praise the game gets i think it's worth a shot. im just afraid that single-handedly overcoming challenges meant for two or more party members might turn out too much for me.
okay, thats what im gonna go with. thanks.

yes. There is a vocation (assassin) that gets perks for running solo. I'd also advise you don't let that dictate exactly how you play as you should experiment
It's an understandable position to be gunshy about AI partners but as long as youre aware of pawn inclination and keep it in mind when creating your pawn and check when recruiting from the rift, they can become an asset rather than a burden

You'll want to max the Assassin vocation and get the Autonomy augment, which is a buff for playing solo.
The only mechanic that feels legitimately unfair to solo players is
the "Maneater" mimic chests
They can randomly be in just about any chest in the dungeon, there's no way to draw them out before opening the chest, nor is there any indication a chest has been infested, and they're practically impossible to escape from when grabbed. Pawns can free you from their grasp, but alone you basically have to save before every chest.

Loving wickfut's ENB. And I'll be using that HUD toggle so much, in and out of combat.
Here's the nexus page with detailed installation instruction.

Whole new experience with that silky smooth performance. Glad I didn't play it for very long on the PS3. That said I'm realizing the landscape is very ps2-ish in terms of how it seems to be put together. It's weird. And God, the things a new skybox would do for this game.

How is a ranger in this game. I normaly play bow like heroes in most rpgs
Those screenshots manage to look blurry and aliased at the same time

Can this be applied to laptops?
It's a ton of fun! Can't think of a better bow gameplay in an RPG, to be honest.
No, somehow I completely skimmed over that option until just now. I feel stupid.

I already hate how long it takes to get anywhere. Just got to Gran Soren, but getting to the starting village is a PAIN.

How do you toggle the HUD?
Shift+F10 is the default I think, can configure the hotkey in enblocal.ini

Yeah, just realized that.
Not sure if it's better in motion, or because I play 2 meters away from my TV. I'll try to turn off DOF next time.
Well, depends on the laptop.
It kills around 10fps on my PC, but I think it's well worth it.
Is there a quick way to jump from one Steam User to the other, without having to call the president? On Google once you've saved your loging information, you can jump from one email to another without having to re-type everything every time, can i do that on steam some how?

No. You're encouraged to change vocations often.

95% of all the dragon's dogma's graphic improvements have way too much DoF.

Finally got to Alon and they did just strip the Berserk armor out with no equivalent level gear as a replacement. That quest is just a big pain in the ass with little payoff now
No Japanese voices in the PC version due to licensing issues.

Any kind of sword/bow gameplay in the game? The strider would be perfect if it was a sword instead of daggers. Assassin seems to be the only one but if it plays like a traditional assassin then that isnt the gameplay style I'm going for at all.
Ok, thanks.
You mean getting back to the starting village? You can fast travel between the two once you get to Gran Soren.

I just beat those lizards last night at level 7, and leveled up to level 8. Like everyone else said, you gotta attack their tails to weaken and temporary immobilize them. If you got a class that can knock them down or off their feet, Id suggest you spawn that shit.
My character is a warrior, and I have the blitz technique and it knocks down who ever I hit so I can swing away while they are on the ground.
You need to get a shield and sword pawn with shield summons so they can grab aggro from the rest of your team. They are tanks.
Your not the only one. The volume is very low.
This game's bow has similar mechanics to a third person shooter, a refined third person shooter at that. The controls feel really great, and the aiming and movement is also feels just perfect when firing your bow. When it comes to using a bow, this game is clearly the king in that regards. The bow is very fun...............but the magik bow................aaww man, its like the box x10 in the fun factor.
After searching for like a good hour, this is where I found my screenshoots folder for steam. I then created a shortcut to it on my desk top. Shit was annoying.

Should I try to not get to level 10 before reaching that city where I can choose another vocation? For min/max purposes that is. Or does it make no difference?
