So what level are you guys in

I'm 41 now, still doing sidequest stuff but hearing about some of this loot makes me want to hurry up and finish.

They fight solo, duh.
A murder? no wait...thats Hellhounds, "tis a troubling foe"
I'm level 68 at the moment. Killed the Ur-Dragon and all the post-game bosses/enemies at this point.

bad gameplay lol
The line "There master, griffins!" always make me fear that there's going to be a point where I have to fight multiple griffins at once.
As if two golems at once wasn't bad enough...

Ah, animal dung...a deer, perhaps?
And being a Ranger with Tenfold Arrow makes Golems about as threatening as Hobgoblins. Do it right and it won't get a single chance to attack before it seizes up.

I would actually love that, I only fought 2 griffins in total on my first playthrough.
Speaking of that, I've read in a few places that people fought one on top of Bluemoon Tower. Is that a quest? Anyone know how to get it? Completely missed that as well.
I think its one of the required story missions. You start out in the field and it flies off to Bluemoon.
It's a main quest, you get it from the Duke.

That's what I was thinking, but I killed that thing as soon as I saw it. I was level 50 then so maybe I was overpowered? The only time I went there for a story quest was to fight the cult guy.

Gotcha. No need to rush then lol.
Must be. I was maybe 20ish when I did it and that thing took off running when I got him to 50%.

Makes you wonder if the devs bothered to play their own game. "Nah, people will enjoy hearing the same dialogue over and over and over for 40 hours. They like that sort of thing."

imagine that one repeated a thousand times by a large warrior with the deepest voice while you look for that stupid snakeskin purse.

I immediately dump any and every pawn I get that has that voice. The repeated dialogue is bad enough, but hearing it with that voice is just too much. And I throw in some nice rotten fruit as a parting gift.
Haha, yeah. I'm really regretting giving my pawn that stupid Andre the Giant voice. It seemed fitting at first, but goddamn it gets annoying when he won't shut up.

I'm thinking of making my main pawn a tiny, squeaky-voiced Ranger in NG+. Would that be more or less annoying than Andre the Giant?

If only they gave you an option to put stuff into storage as you pick it up we'd be in business.

oh god. the
stuff is like wtf?!
just got creamed by plebe world monsters. And then fought that beholder? Died.
Dragons Dogma is easily my GOTY 2012. That last boss battle was just all shades of insane with fantastic voice acting for that dragon. Incredible visuals.

fuuuuuuuu... I also learned recently that I can use the hundred kiss move when I mount enemies with my Dagger class characters.

For some reason none of the repeated lines really bother me except the Black Cat proprietor's "Surely you'll find aught you need" because it really drives home how goddamn much I have to hear the word 'aught' in this game.
Oh geez, in 40 hours of using daggers I never knew this...
i cheated this fight xD hdyra sucks balls multiple at the same time!

the guide says it flies away after 8min, no matter how much damage you have done.
i entered the final battle with level 55, so entered postgame with 57 and started NG+ with level 86 ...
yep... its a love-hate relationship with caxton...
endgame-spoiler, real endgame, after postgame...
if you sit on the seneschalt throne after freeing savann, you can get invisible to cassardis and gran soren. the first thin i did. i shot two people at gran soren until they died. first the screaming guy "'eer 'eer" than caxton... then i went into NG+ xD

Does everyone know you can fire arrows while jumping?
Do a backwards double-jump and fire an arrow in mid-air, feels good.

So has anyone else noticed that at least half of all male pawns sound like they're voiced by D.C. Douglas?
Because I keep hearing Wesker when they talk and it's sorta weirding me out.

Hell yeah you can, and I was happy the first time I double jumped off a rock and started firing on the way down. The controls in the game are really good, with my only big complaint being that you shouldnt give me double jump and then not let me exploit it by saving the 2nd jump for when I'm about to smash into the ground.

God's had his chance.
Was practicing this back in the demo for days... You can do almost anything in the air.
climb up cyclops... mount face and gouge till bloody ... press jump and tag said cyclops in the face with an explosive arrow on the way down. feels... so ... gud.
This game.. more than any other RPG i've ever played makes me feel GOOD about being a fucking boss while at the same time requiring that I pay attention and continue to PLAY WELL .. which is an amazing thing in an rpg. Seriously this is GOTY stuff for me. Talking to my wife the other day about all of this I said to her that I hadn't had this much fun with a game and hadn't planned to spend as much time with a game at this level since the last GTA came out ..
she straight up says "Whoa... are you serious? It's that good then?"
Yes, love. It's that fucking good.

I went through them last night but I forgot what I fought...what's giving you trouble?
That's the spirit. The only people who are going to count DD as their GOTY are going to be this thread's regulars, but that doesn't mean we won't be right.

I don't remember where I read it, but apparently there are only 2 voices per gender - the other 4 are just pitched up and pitched down versions.
Any tips for fighting a cockatrice? I ran into my first one last night, and all of my pawns were eventually petrified, so I had to solo it. Silent Softener (or whatever it's called) seems to only act on me, and I know the pawns aren't smart enough to go a whole fight without getting petrified.
Woe spawns a very powerful wight, loads of giant undead and skeleton lords, and hellhouonds until you kill the wight, overall very scary.
The sorrow chamber spawns the evil eye, hellhounds, grimgoblins and the eye's tentacles endlessly, I was confused on where to exit since I kept going in circles and the tentacles kept wrecking my shit...I tried to run the fuck out but I ended up saying FUCK THIS and using a ferry stone.

Hmm. I guess the only advice I can offer is to take your time and try and draw individual enemies away from their groups. The Chamber of Sorrow was very slow-going for me.
You're right about one thing, though - run from the tentacles whenever possible. Avoid getting bogged down in pointless fights. When it comes to the Wights, they can be very easy depending on vocation. If you have a bow their spellcasting is very easily interrupted.

What, I played for over 40 hours and I have not thought to try this.

Same here. I keep getting Saga vibes while playing this fantastic game...If only SE would make a Saga game for consoles again (or ever). The quests designs and the way they expired after certain points in the storyline feels very Romancing Saga (and Japanese in general)

Not in the least, no. The game explodes once you reach Gran Soren and start encountering the more dangerous boss creatures.

Depends on what you've accomplished in those 10 hours. Generally, though, I would assume you've pretty much seen the game.
