Some of them are quest related so I'd be careful with what you sell.

Just finished a quest in witchwood, my team was getting our ass handed to us but we did it somehow. It's a great feeling hearing your pawn say they've learned something new

There are a ton of reports of the sound cutting out on both versions. But the 360 installed seems to stop it. If the PS3 version does install over time perhaps it will go away.
Thanks, looks like I'm gotta be a pack rat. Speaking of that, can anyone let me know where the mice are?

I think most of us are ill towards fire.

Need a little help here. A large amount of my quests that I have available are along the lines of, hey, I lost a single item somewhere in this giant city! Or some such things where I am totally lost as to where to go.
Also, where's the barber shop in gran soren? My pawns keep telling me about it but I can't find it.

I need quest help for "A Troublesome Tome"
I went all the way to the marker at a female bandit hideout, lady doesn't' like men and attacked me so I reloaded, threw an explosive barrel at her, and opened her chest. Marker is gone now, but the quest hasn't progressed. No clue how to proceed.
Yes, when I went to pick up my preorder the guy told me they only had preorders left; I think he said they had 10 regular copies on hand for PS3 and they already sold. Can't remember the exact number of pre orders though(I posted it in the demo impressions thread).

They're always up for grabs, you don't have to actively do anything.
Hey, since you like it so much, how does it work? Im completely baffled by the item system and there's no game documentation.

This does not go away. Even right up until the end.

Wait, there aren't seperate slots for autosaves and manual saves? So if the game glitches just before an autosave, you're screwed?
Karak
Member
I think an autosave is separate but when you manually save it writes over it. Because I can't continue. It acts like the game has never been played. Its fine its the PS3 version and I already beat it on the 360. But I was sort of enjoying my different character.
Yes you do. You have to rest at an Inn or camp site to upload your pawns's current loadout/stats. That's also how you receive rift crystals and other gifts from people who have rented your pawn.
Oh, they don't look that interesting and some of them look like slight variations of ingame options.
Guess i'll save my monies.

I had that problem with Journey and had to switch from HDMI to Component, which fixed it, at the cost of some blurriness.
Just set whatever the quest is to active and it will highlight where it is...atleast, that worked for the first one where I had to find the scriptures.

I'm carrying around a ton of herbs and stuff for potions but hardly get any of the cloudwine or whatever to mix them in. Where can I buy them?

Just noticed some of my quests expired
I also wish it was easier to manage weight with me and my pawn.

lol well there are some short women in the world.
Also the lighting in this game is nice. When it's night and no full moon, it really is night.
Cloudwine you can get by combining other items, but I forget which ones they are off-hand (at work so I can't look it up)
Karak
Member
You can make cloudwine too.
Karak
Member
Yes sir. The number 1 thing that barely ever falters is the lighting. Even when the screen tears or the FPS drops the lighting is always awesome...well unless your PS3 freezes then it isn't good hahahahaha. But seriously ya great lighting.
Snapshot King
Member
Seriously guys, how does the item combination work? Is it just randomly combining items and then hoping to remember? How do you know what you can combine? It says kindling can be combined, so I combine that with my latern or oil? Im lost here.
Karak
Member
Yes. At least that is how I did it through the entire game. Because once you combine it it then tells you how to do it later. So if you combine water and salt it would say saltwater. And if you highlighted SALT later it would say "If you had water you could make saltwater"
That kind of thing.

Ugh, is it possible for quests to go dead for awhile? Went to both markers for this quest, now they are both gone but there is no more direction on where to go next.
Whoa. Will buy for #4.
As an archer should I pick a warrior or mage pawn? I really like the mage one that they give you, especially for the fire arrows.
Yep, there's even a tooltip saying that if you can't do anything about them move on.
Fuck man, the AI in this game is so god damn retarded. My pawns just run around completely separated in a fight, there's no way to issue orders to them, and they just get owned by these fucking dudes with shields (bandits) over and over. It doesn't help that these fuckers take almost no damage.
I'm level 11, I shouldn't have any problems with these bandits and I've changed my pawns up twice now. They just keep getting owned repeatedly and even with two guys setup for tanking they are absolutely no match for the NPC's.
Shit is so irritating. And If I try to run past the fucking bandits there's literally a pack of wolves like 20 feet away just chilling in the direction I need to go.
I'm about ready to say fuck it with this game. Dark Souls was a smooth kind of difficulty that was skill based, but this shit is only hard because you have a giant fucking handicap from having to rely on retarded AI.

Okay...stupid question o'clock.
When do you actually get to make a customized Pawn?

Thanks goodness, I can save my game without worry that its glitched or something. Time to move one.
Thanks!
Lack of organization in battles is my # 1 issue with the game, even though I'm still enjoying it. I find myself mashing on the D-Pad to keep them close-ish. Enemies are very scatter-oriented too.
After your first mission as the newly appointed Arisen.

I LOVE YOUR AVI! That had me laughing for a long time (the original).
Also, I want to give this game a chance, especially considering it's very over the top in terms of climbing up monsters and stuff. If the open world environment is fun to explore - even better. I love open world RPGs.
I've been sitting at the pawn creation screen since I can't decide :lol

Creating multiple pawns is going to ruin my life.

Change them in the tutor chair. Mine work excellent as a team.

Christmas, I am in love with this game, and I managed to make a fantastic looking Elena from Street Fighter for my Arisen, but goddamn if the textures aren't first gen-level ugly most of the time.
Snapshot King
Member
Yeah, I'm kind of baffled at the problems you're having. I remember that exact area, even though I went there at level 14, I had no issues at all. My main pawn is always sniping properly, my mage pawn is buffing us properly, etc.
What causes quests to go dead? Just leveling outside them I suppose?
bigdaddygamebot
Member
Okay...second stupid question. I just made my main pawn...can I make more or do I have to buy ones that other people have made?

So much for ppl insisting there was "no install" heh.
This game is taking too long to come out in Yurop.
