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

Do we have official confirmation that pawn stats are bugged atm? My sheet shows my pawn has never been hired, which I find unlikely (but hey, might just be the fact that she's wearing clothes).

for those in here using the DS4, there's a mod for you

http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/15/?
http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/18/?

Both of those add Playstation buttons to the game. The top one is higher ranked but pick the one you want.

Someone should consider adding stuff like this to the mod section. Also instruction on how to install gedosato or sweetfx settings for people that don't know how. So people don't have to ask the same question once every few pages.

My pawn is a strider and seems kind lame at level 27. Should I make it a magick archer? Seems like they might have better spells. I'm a warrior.
 
Reached level 29. Now I'm a few levels above the friend's pawn I used to use, so I had to resort to non-friend pawns at my level for free since everyone else is quite a bit below haha.

Also fyi because I fucked up when I played this on 360 back in the days, you'll eventually get a mission called Escort Duty.

You need to do this mission perfectly and quickly or you'll miss out on a very useful item that can get you better deals and items in stores. It's not a hard quest either, but I'd suggest that if you have to follow a walkthrough for ONE quest in this game, do it for this as I don't think there's another way to get this specific item in a playthrough

Anyways having said that, doing one more idol quest next time I play, and then once I give that to the merchant I'll go ahead and buy new gear and equipment for both my Geralt and Triss and update her, since we've both been sporting the same gear since the beginning of the game.

I haven't really played it much yet, just opened it up to see if it was running smoothly and played the opening for like 10 minutes. I hope to god someone releases a UI mod, it's pretty messy. Aesthetically and organizationally.

Glad to see Dogma getting more love! I still play the ps3 version every so often. I hope the PC port sells well enough to convince Capcom into making a sequel.

probably enough to convince them to bring DDO to the west honestly

DD2 seems like a bigger project

not trying to be a debbie downer....

If you're looking for a fighter pawn you can hire my Luce

steam id (i'm in the neogaf steam group): http://steamcommunity.com/id/Lux_86

Luce is an expert fighter lvl 37, with very good gear:

Weapon: Almace

Shield: Orilux

Main Armor: Crimson Plate

Let her help you!
I actually did hire her today. I liked that attack that turned enemies to stone. What's the name of that skill?

By the way, I already sent her home. Did you get the recommendation? Just asking because I keep hearing that the pawn reputation system is bugged.

I'd be happy with that too, but I still hope for a sequel.

Yes, yes, keep buying this game.

If the PC version can sell 700,000 units the grand total of this game would reach 3 million with console sales. That's respectable. It's currently at 70,000. Hopefully word of mouth improves on things.

Oh wow, I didn't know the console versions had even sold that much. I thought it was only at 1mil+on consoles.

What is better, Magick archer or Ranger? I want to be a powerful archer
The longbow that the Ranger uses is more powerful, but I really like magick archer more because of the spells and skills you get. Plus it hasa sorta lock on. Magick Archer and assassin are my Tacitus classes in the game.

Dudes:

- The game pauses while you're in your inventory
- Healing items can be used from your inventory
- Healing items are instant
- Healing items are cheap
- You can buy infinite healing items

Messing with your carrying capacity is essentially fucking any semblance of difficulty the game has. Without a weight limit you can start the game, sell your DLC items, buy a shitload of health items and fire bombs, go to the expansion island and skip 90% of the game's progression.

It's your game and your time, but you're going to kick yourself once you realize how your inventory limit was a key part of game's balance.
I keep telling this to everyone but they won't listen.

It's not just healing items too, it's periapts, blast arrows, etc.

I mean sure the players who mod this might use self-restraint, but I'm not sure many of them really will.

How do you set item hotkeys? I remember them saying that keys 1-5 are item shortcuts but I don't know how to enable or set them.

In terms of pure easy DPS power the ranger is the strongest in the game.

Magick archer is 2nd strongest from what I've used, I like the more unique skills of MA more than the ranger, nothing like setting yourself on fire and climbing a griffon.

Just finished the side quest before I saw this and saved x.x. Gotta remember this for NG+ I guess.

Go to the inventory, hover over any item and press 1-5 to hot key it.

I just ran from another zombie dragon. If I had no weight limits I'd go to town, spend a few million on the big heal/stamina potions, go back and just off the dragon on consumables alone. As it is I can't carry enough stamina consumables with my current damage output to stay on him indefinitely. Pawns are irrelevant, they get insta killed by most dragons anyway. You can't transfer items off downed pawns. Being able to carry infinite items myself breaks the game.

Like I said: people can do what they want, but to say it isn't going to make the game a breeze is naive.

Ok, now that seems like a really good reason not to mod it then. Thanks.

never left the stone age
So Steam says I've been playing for 9 hours today. Well. It _is_ 1am now.

After having fun creating my character, and finding her weird afterwards, I kinda like her now. Also my pawn is boss.



Thanks for hyping me into buying this GAF, so far it's a fantastic game.

Did you make Buddy and Brad from Lisa the Painful RPG? Probably not but it was the first thing I thought of lol

Incredibly fun and very exciting how a bunch of modders came out of nowhere to hack together all sorts of neat things. I hope they keep at it!

Had fun adjusting ENB (so easy with the ingame interface) and made the game look quite awesome (taking into consideration its pretty old). The AO that Boris added through ENB is quite great.

I stopped playing on PS3 when I delivered the cart to the castle because the FPS was something like 12 inside the city..Now its just amazing and looks great.

Just finished up the everfall and that was something! That damn troll lol.

Glad I have 2 awesome pawns - Jonas and Triss. SOOO happy Triss has Fire spells...I would have been totally stuck as a warrior with my strider pawn.

Quick question before I start the game. Are the KB&M controls good or should I go with my 360 pad?

I had never stuck with Strider long enough to really use most of the skills unique to it, and I gotta say, Ensnare is freaking awesome. I feel like Scorpion yelling "GET OVER HERE" every time I use it.

Well, you could always run past the chimera.

ran into that situation once, pretty sure it means you pick up the rock and toss it at the chimera
