Jesus heavenly Christ pawns. Stop it. Stop. Stop it. Stop it. For fucks sake. My main pawn is cool, but these two cunts I have with me won't leave the fucking chests in the Ever-Fall alone. They are making it harder on me to reset the fucking chests. If they pick up the first Secret Softener they see.

Some escort quests might be gone from the board if you continue, but any other quest you've accepted will still be there.

Go through alone -- or only with yours, and throw their ass out of the way when they try to open something.
Thanks!

Never had problems with my Pawns opening up chests and stuff. Just make sure you have Pawns who don't have the Pioneer inclination.
Wow so after having taken the long easy stroll down Sorcerer lane I've found that starting a new vocation in Magick Archer to be like slamming into a 90 MPH difficulty car crash haha.
I seriously was not prepared for it to spike like that. Sorcerer is so unbelievably OP. Probably didn't help that I did the
quest and... yeah... taking on something big like that with only the most basic of vocational skills for both me AND my pawn (changed her from a warrior to a mage) was proooobably a bad idea.
Was funny though, on my way out of the tower one of my pawns decided it'd be great idea to lose his balance and plummet into the ocean. "What a gaffe!?" Yeah no kidding.

They don't have Pioneer.
If I open the chest and say its a junk item. I usually just walk away, check the other chests and leave the room and they close back again, but when I leave the chests open. They decide to run over to them and from the time I hear " Ahh, whats this " I know that chest is doomed to their ignorance.
haha, even after 100 hours i felt like this xD
Oh man so true. I'm *only* 40 hours into the game and this still happens to me practically every time I encounter snakes. The dungeons here are just so engrossing.
go to gran soren inn, speak with asalam, manage inventory, withdraw wyrm hunt license (should be under special) and go back to ser max
if you sold the license, well - check the black cat shop ... if there is nothing to buy, you're fucked O,o or someone gifts a forgery...
See You Next Wednesday

I found the only way around this is to make sure they are a good few feet away from you & the chest, quick save & open the chest. If it's junk, immediately use the Godsbane & use the retry option. Repeat until you get something rare.
It was not fun re-doing that for nearly an hour for one unique helmet.

Wow, badge of vows 39 (DLC)... what a sneaky bastard!
The quest only appears when "Deny Salvation" is active and on the way up to fight the Elysion. Once the dragon appears and the Greatwall gets trashed its gone, and to add insult to injury its actually hidden on a wall in the upper spiral stairwell; you need to shoot it down with an arrow to collect it!

there is in blue moon tower. Btw. I finally used my veteran ring thing and its x2 exp.
Huahuahaah. There's a chest in witchwood that seems to give it everytime you head over and the chest refills. Somewhere to the west/north when you get it. nice!
I eradication site it to the west of the male bandit camp though stop grinding the system
I didn't know you could not pick up the item and try again. I thought people were saving and reloading. Do you only do these to the big ass ivory chests?huahahha @ fovinal being the love interest. it really is amusing when the game does this.

Is it bad that i still use the basic vocations for my MC and Pawn (Fighter and Mage)?
I prefer fighter than warrior and my main pawn is a dedicated healer/booster with only one high offensive spell.The rest of my team constitutes one ranger and one sorcerer pawn.
So is there any real reason to change their vocations if the basic ones still work for me?

God the combat in this game is so awesome. I honestly like it more than the Souls games, as much as I never thought I would say that.
Just did the quest with
Just did the quest with
Mercedes, where you end up having to watch her duel Julian. But he tried to trash-talk me before turning his venom on Mercedes, so I said "fuck that" and just killed him. Snakebite to the face, Hundred Kisses until dead while he stood up. Next time don't go and let your mouth write checks that your ass can't cash, bucko.
Trying for a Mercedes end, although it could be Madeleine or Selene since I helped them with quests and ended up with the pink glow on them. I gave Mercedes the Arisen's Bond + quests + gifts though, so I'm hoping she'll win out. Had to threaten that Asalam guy because he was starting to get too friendly (had the chimey noise but no pink glow).
I did my homework, no "surprise" love interest for me. Glad I found out about that before I finished the game and got someone I didn't want, like some people getting trolled with Asalam/Fournival/etc.

Good to hear they are doing something. Worthwhile DLC please. That is all I ask, and you will have my money. No more of these nonsense board quests. A proper fleshed out land and new NPCs.

Wooo I'm pretty pumped!
Damm this game is so amazing! Okay back again for another DD session!
I finally was able to take down the drake in Devil Fire grove with lvl 40's. Still on my MA, and my pawn is Mage. Had a ranger and a warrior with me; Angel and Pat on on ps3. Hopefully they can take home some extra RC for their owners :3
I've tried to nail that drake so many times in the past, this time I was victorious!

Is it just my HDTV or is the darkness and brightness a bit off in this game?
Like it will be midday, sunny and in the forrest the shadows seem too dark.
Same with inside buildings. A bit hard to adjust.
I have game brightness on like 8 or 9 but it still seems off.

I found it kinda hard to get it just right in this game as well. Pretty much even if you turn the brightness way up so shadows look normal in the day time, night is still too dark to see without a lantern so it doesn't screw anything up
Huh, nope never had any problem with it. Are you playing on the 360? It's weird gamma curve always makes it so I practically have to adjust each game individually and they honestly never look right to me.
Game has a massive dynamic range of lighting. It's a feature, not a bug
Seriously though, the whole point is to create areas of darkness that are hard for the player to see... without the lantern on.
It's actually quite immersive. I've even turned off the lantern at night to see *further*, so I'm not been blinded by the light from the lantern, even though I can only make out dull shapes in the distance.

Just beat the game and holy shit!
This game is so gooooooood.
Number 1, that dragon fight was ridiculously hard! But soooooo rewarding in terms of feeling of accomplishment.
Number 2, if Capcom would have brought the story to the surface a bit more, shit would have been even more amazing than the OH SHIT moment in which your character looks down the eventide and sees itself looking down!
I haven't started the eventide stuff yet, but I'm going to take a stab at the story. So this is what I'm thinking, every time an Arisen fights the Dragon and takes the "deal" another layer of reality is laid upon the previous one (generation) so when your Arisen kills the dragon, you break all of said layers and shit hits the fan like whoa?

Fight until he leaves after ~8min, go rest at an inn, go fight again. Repeat.
