Tallness only affects walking speed. Weight affects run speed. How much you're holding affects run speed. The warrior has a passive skill(that can be transferred to any class) that can increase your carrying capacity. The Assassin has a skill that speeds you up directly(the equivalent of haste, more than just movement speed) that cannot be transferred. The strider class has a transferable passive skill that decreases your weight class and increases your speed further(even if you're already in the lowest weight class).

The dagger-wielding classes also have a rolling ability that can be rather handy for getting around. Not as speedy as sprinting, but it doesn't consume stamina, so it's useful for covering distances while your stamina regenerates.
We got double jumps and pssh..Nothing... Personnel kid skills for days to zoom across the map.

The fastest movement in the game is to use the biting wind dagger skill then use instant reset to cancel the recovery and repeat, but this uses stamina. If you were to speedrun the game (since there was armor you can get for beating the game fast enough), you would pop a liquid vim and get around like this. If you just want to run, the best way is just use Assassin and use gale harness to increase your movement speed and you run very fast.
Only problem with Gale Harness is that it almost takes a full 10 seconds to activate. It's damn useful in combat, though.
Speaking as someone with a "press" copy the save files appear to be under the app number 367500 remote (basically I think this is a cloud save file, I think) in your Steam userdata file. Couldn't find it anywhere else.
IIRC Lightning Returns did this recently too.

Yea that was the most annoying thing about it, so I mostly used it right before I entered a fight and it lasts around a minute I think at the highest level. It's so awesome having basically every action be hasted though, one of my go to ways to chip away at the Ur-Dragon.

Steam apparently downloaded a 0 bytes file...? What is that?

Number 1 on Steam's top sellers.
Good. I really hope this sells well and motivates Capcom to do a sequel or bring DDO to the West.
I think the latter was always planned. They don't have any money for the former.

Wh-what?
What is it?
I asked because I genuinely don't know. What is that 0 bytes file? I already downloaded the 14 gigs a while ago and only now just noticed this.
Everyone got it, it's nothing but a hiccup in the system sent to test our resolve.

Anyone know when the embargo is up, or if there even is one?

Thanks for the info everyone. Strider or Assassin sound awesome.
I'm not looking to speedrun or anything... I just gotta go fast.

Is there a Neogaf steam group I can join? The number of people that have purchased the game on my friends list is very saddening.

you need an invite though. So you need a friend already in the group to invite you.

Ranger and Magic Archer are good too, I would choose either of those over Strider. Definitely max out Strider first for that leg-strength augment though!
Steam does that sometimes with preloads it doesn't mean anything.

I remember when this game came out for the previous console generation, I wanted it so much but I didn't own any console. I hoped they would port it to PC, I thought about it for weeks and months before finally giving up. To see this finally getting to PC makes me ecstatic, so much joy, I'll finally play it :')

Fuck, I told myself I wouldn't, but I just purchased this. I've never played it before, but it seems to be up my alley. Now to beat Hearts of Stone before Friday...
It's a great game and has some really tactile combat.
Also, the game's story (while not told in a really great way) is actually pretty unique and interesting.

man, I think the toughest challenge for me will be deciding on what pawn I will create.

Also, nothing like a burly male pawn with a high-pitched voice to add flavor to the combat.
And somehow, I always manage to recruit them.

hopefully someone mods fashion gear if it's not too difficult. Striders/light wear was ugly as fuck for the longest time. I want to look swag.

I've been looking at the armor... I'm going to have a potato sack on my head and I'll learn to like it.
I only wish the cloaks weren't so weak. They all look funny, not cool as a cloak should.

DLGamer has the same offer atm, not sure when it expires though. As for europe, Gamesplanet also seems to have 25% off in case both of the previous ones stop working.
So shouldn't be much of an issue.

Also nothing like fireman carrying one of your pawns and throwing them into the ocean.
I mean, not that I've ever done that. That's actually pretty weird. Why would anyone do that.

Wow, I've never done that. And I certainly don't plan on doing it in the PC version. Especially not to burly male pawns with high-pitched voices.

don't striders get the sweet feather cloak?
It's been a few years, my memory is fuzzy
Ah, thank you!

You 100% customize your own pawn, but if you want to use more than 1 pawn you borrow either the stock ones provided by Capcom, or other player's pawns.
