Totally missed that one, Thanks!

So i had to go to this fort in the middle of nowhere. Pitch black dark but whatever. Lets do it.
I'm trekking through the woods when my pawns alert me about goblins nearby. We start kicking their asses. Then i hear the sound of huge wings. By the tree line i see fire gleaming between teeth. Oh shit... RUUUN

We make it to the fort. Huge battle ensues. Sun is rising when we finally beat the goblins.

It was a really nice experience. DD is indeed a flawed gem. It's a crime if we never get a proper sequel.

Random stuff

I complained before about not making my pawn look distinct enough. I just made a waifu like most people do. So i bought the item to edit characters and.... i made her even hotter. Gave her bigger boobs and ass.
Her name is Ashmodara. She is a sorcerer. If you see her, be nice to her.

The thing i hate the most about mystic knights is how everything clips through the shield. It's distracting whenever i'm running around. I now switched to warrior solely because of that.

 

[Lux R7]

So, the Ur Dragon died, got Ascalon on my first try! So happy

Also, Luce is a fighter again, and with a dragon forged Cursed Light in her hand, you want her to fight the darkness on your side!

 

[Ryne]

My pawn is too low level to be rented. I need to keep playing

 

[Momentary]

Man I put 48 hours into this game since release and I feel like I'm moving in slow motion compared to where other people are at in the game.

 

[Rhaknar]

What level was everyone when they first met the duke?

I've been exploring and doing side quests, so I'm level 42..

ive done most quests and im only 33 :/

Try fighting one solo as a warrior, it's possible you just have to be very patient ;P.

 

[Akiller]

Managed to load my PS3 save file(thank you DDDAsave tool creator!).
Lv 28 Magick Archer here(since level 10), i feel Like the game has become too easy though, when i meet griffons , chimeras or bandits i just kid around rofl ( also thanks to OP PS3 rented pawns).

I'd Like to change class but that'd need to change most of My set i believe, any advice?Whats the best class to change For coming from a magick archer?

 

[Momentary]

Like what?

Spoiler

Well one MAJOR thing was the dukes obsession with his past lover and the whole choking scene was just like the scene with Griffith and the princess. So damn similar. Then the fact that you get thrown in the dungeon and tortured afterward.

The game draws so much from the Berserk story that it's not even funny. I'm not surprised the it received Berserk DLC.

I just hope they actually make a Berserk game one day. This game is a little too light-hearted compared to the real deal.

 

[Llyranor]

What classes gives more weight skill and does it carry over to other classes?

You mean being able to carry more weight? Fighter, iirc. It's an augment so you can equip it on any class.

That reminds me that I should probably grab that myself.

Wait what? There's a save converter? Does it work on 360? I'd love to bring my savegame over from when I was in the Everfall post-game.

Edit: just googled and saw it only works with Dark Arisen saves, not regular Dragon's Dogma. Bummer! Oh well!

 

[Llyranor]

What weapon combo is the most funny to use with the assassin? I'm going right now with sword + bow, really liking it but I think I had more fun and played more stylish with the daggers + bow back in Strider. Have not experienced the shield yet

I'm leveling up assassin right now, and I found myself switching weapons randomly every few battles or depending on the situation (bow if flying enemies, shield if lots of melees). Dagger and shield works surprisingly well. Dagger mobility skills + parrying/blocking

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

How are you lot getting such sweet, sweet screenshots? What key do i press? Windows 10 just gives me a blank screen with PrtScrn and F12 dumped the images into the void. I want to show off my chars too, when i make my pawn.

Oh yeah, is there any rush to talk to the peeps in the stone at the encampment? Am i ok to keep on doing quests from the boards or is it a good idea to get your first Pawn ASAP?

pause > share

And absolutely get your pawn first, you monster.

For those wondering about inclinations, these are what imo are the best ones for each vocation:

Fighter: scather, mitigator, challenger, utilitarian - this makes them focus on strong enemies first
Warrior: challenger, mitigator, scather, pioneer - this makes it draw the most aggro
Strider: scather, utilitarian, mitigator, challenger - same as fighter, but will also make full use of climbing
Ranger: utilitarian, guardian, mitigator, scather - guardian might seem odd here, but it will keep the ranger close to you if you are ranged as well, making it use it's most powerful skills, just switch guardian with scather if you are melee
Mage: utilitarian, medicant, nexus - this will make a mage actually buff others instead of just healing.
Sorceror: scather, mitigator, utilitarian - just kill everything.

Though eventually it won't really matter what the inclination is, the bestiary overrides a lot of stuff.

Also on changing inclininations with potions, use them in order of 2/3/4/6 or 2/3/5/6 with your primary last. this will push down the least favourable ones down quite a bit and keep the ones you want high.
-never- use the neutralising one, this will just destroy your pawn.

Thanks for this Reizo. Could I ask for a bit of clarification regarding these potions? Does the order in which you use them matter? If I understand this correctly, the last one that uses 6 is the inclination you want the most correct?

So if I wanted to make a ranger pawn "Ranger: utilitarian, guardian, mitigator, scather", I'd be using 2 scather, 3 mitigator, 5 guardian, 6 ultiltarian. Is that correct?

 

[Echoplx]

Is the pawn system still not really working? I've gotten a few rewards but I know for a fact my housemate used my pawn a lot (I watched him lol) and I never received anything.

And I still can't even find his pawn even though he can use mine.

 

[Maboroshi Daikon]

anyone else still not getting RC/had their pawn used?

I'm in the same boat as of last night. I'll try again later this evening. I know a friend was using her so even if nobody else has, I should have at least something from the two times he dismissed/rehired.

Yup that's the one. I'm almost done with magic archer and I need another melee class anyways so fighter will do.

Yes to all of your questions.

great thanks! Now to decide what to have my pawn turn into next lol

I have been staring at these images for the last couple minutes trying to spot a difference. I am starting to feel convinced that its just an elaborate rouse to drive me insane.

where the hell is madeleine's store? I cant find it anyware

 

[Noray]

Has anyone modded out carry weight yet? Because holy shit it is annoying. I feel like I'm playing inventory management - the game.

edit: found one, removes sprint stamina too (Already had a separate mod for that) http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdog...gma/ajax/moddescription/?id=19&preview=&pUp=1

That and infinite port crystal mode need to happen.

It was one of the first things to be addressed, just after sprinting costing stamina and the necessary nude mods.

Did you do the Chasing Shadows quest yet?

 

[Revolutionary]

Are there any other legitimate level 110+ players on here (transferred my save from PS3)? Most 100+ pawns are hacked (you can easily tell by the hours the owner has - full dragonforged Abyssal gear in 20 hours? Yeah okay) so I would love to have legitimate pawns to choose from.

But but officer, his face hit *my* sword. He should be in the dungeon and my sword should get an apology!

People, please fix your pawns inclinations. I can't tell you how many times I decided not to use a high level pawn cause it's inclinations sucked. Like, why would anyone put Acquisitor as their primary? Or Nexus/Guardian?

Yeah I struggled to find a female warrior (for the grimoire quest) around my level last night. I ended up with someone 10 levels higher. Guardian fighter/warrior is a no no for me.

 

[Sarcasm]

Shadow play thinks this is desktop whenever I try to save something in DDA...any reason why?

Where can you choose that? Is the pawn copying the main character's playstyle or is it done with those vague dialogue options in the chair?

 

[Golnei]

That has some effect, I think your d-pad commands towards them can also change their inclination.

 

[Corpekata]

You can try to manage it via the chair but there's also a vendor in the Encampment that will sell potions to set them too. They're only like 250 RC so most people should have more than enough to change them at will.

They do learn somewhat from the Arisen, like if you use the Help command a lot I think it pushes them toward Guardian a bit.

Same for me, the first report was 30k crystals. Thanks to my friends!

That looks great! Exactly what I would be looking for. Can you share the preset?

 

[Rhaknar]

when you kill your first drake

that must have been like 20 minutes, used up almost all my herbs and shit. Amazing feeling, this fucking game

 

[Dizzy-4U]

How do you make the chests in BBI respawn? I think I'm underleveled to finish BBI but doing some chests runs could get me decent armors.

 

[MakeshiftChef]

My pawn is too low level to be rented. I need to keep playing

If we're not already friends on Steam add me. I'm only in the mid twenties. I can run your pawn around for a bit and get you some RC. http://steamcommunity.com/id/MakeshiftChef/

And a big thank you to those of you who have taken my pawn out for a spin as I am now up 56K RC (especially Reizo... 30K just from him, lol).

I am having a lot of fun playing this, the combat is so satisfying.

 

[ParityBit]

Is there a good character creation guide? Dealing with classes, size, etc? Something in text form so I can read it over the rest of the day.

Thanks!

Mine respawned when I went back to the starting town and returned.

7 days of rest. Go back to the mainland, hit an inn.
