oh wow. i just finished witchwood at level 13 and thought i was overleveled for it. It's not hard at all, you'll walk right through it. hardest part about it is finding the right route to the witches house.
What's the quest line for Witch Wood? I feel like I missed something, as I've just been killing random shit/exploring since the game started. The only major quests I've done so far:, otherwise I've just been leveling. Sitting @ lvl 20 now with not much time played(feel like it's REALLY fast to level), guess I should start questing for a bit, as I can't find any good weapons in shops anymore.the well quest, escort the cart, and the underground pawn quest
My pawn is finally shaping up @ Rank 7 Mage, finally got some good heals/support stuff for her.
Kinda pissed that the Metamorphosis potion doesn't respawn in the shop, so I guess I can't make my pawn taller(didn't notice how short she was til now)
Yes, use the pawn chair. Mine hardly says anything now unless it's something new.
It was
to find Quina, and was given by a guy near the gate of the first town.
underground pawn one
I got a quest in Gran Soren to go there for another reason, so I knocked them both out.
I've spent the majority of tonight in the capital doing quests. Just left on a mission and ran into a Chimera. Thought it'd be tough, but I plowed right through it.
This may be because I happened to pick up a pair of daggers that does both physical and a shit ton of fire damage, though.
I really want to go assassin, but I'm going to max out Strider I think before I change over.

Already been answered. Look at the last couple of pages. We don't need to repost the same shit every page.

If they have curatives in their inventory, they'll use them if their health is low enough. You can hear them announce it sometimes.

alright i just had an exhaustive romp through the caves leading to the southern (southwestern?) camp (doing the Hunter's quest where you're supposed to take back an outpost) and I am drained. is there anywhere to sleep/level up within my vicinity? I'd rather not trek all the way back to the capital, and I think the damn bandits are the other direction and my health is super low. seriously i just fought
and i have very little health.
3 trolls, two of them at once
Sigh. The save system sucks. I KNOW I quicksaved, yet it's telling me I didn't...get to replay about an hour of hard shit again. Second time this has happened.
Also: fuck this combat system. It's got some laggy ass controls. Keeps trying to do shield block stuff when I released that button over a second ago. Makes it impossible to quick block and then fight back.

Just finished doing a quest in a cave, then when I went to turn it in the dude tells me to clear out 2 ogres-_-
I kill the ogres and when I get to the exit of the cave to turn in the 2nd quest what do I see? No daylight, I just made it back to Gran Soren(luckily it wasnt far) But had to fight off a bunch of goblins, hobgoblins, and some zombies. Good thing I also had the magic archer light arrow skill.
To top it all off, as soon as I got into Gran Soren day begins to break...

So I guess if it takes forever checking for the demo save data it won't be successful and I'll have to recreate my characters?
This game is so great. I love the pawn system, I love the way the combat flows, and I love the aesthetics. I'm taking my sweet time with it and it's incredibly enjoyable. I just
arrived at the Capital City, so I'm sure this is where I can really do what open-world rpgs do best.

bad gameplay lol
Actually there's three ogres. Unless it's a different quest. I thought it was two as well, but that's because I had a different quest that was "Kill two ogres". That one popped as cleared after I killed the second one, but I didn't bother to read which quest it was for, so I thought it was for the guy outside. I go outside to talk to him, and he just repeats the same thing about killing all the monsters in the cave. So I check my quests and lo and behold, "Kill all ogres in the cave (2/3)". Still have one more to go. Fuckers are tough. -_-

Still hoping someone can answer this before I dedicate the night to trying both ways.

Same quest, forgot about the first ogre. They are mighty annoying.
No lag problems for me...what system are you on?
EDIT: Also I dont think i've had any problems with manual saves...are you talking about dying and then choosing retry or just reloading in general?
Also cool that they use curatives, but I really hope they use arrows and other tools as well. I stocked up my main pawn with a bunch of poison arrows among other things, and i've been giving them to other pawns as well. I guess i'll pass on equipping other people's pawns since they'll probably be upgraded themselves...and it kinda helps to keep their unique appearance.

Though they haven't said NO. They have been pretty clear that this is a console only title for various reasons. That of course can change. I hope it does. But man you are missing out for sure.

Try tapping in the direction you want to block before pressing the button, works for me.
I turned off that button legend at the bottom right of the screen in the options.
I think I like it better with it off. It still shows up when you can examine or talk to people though if anyone is worried about not being able to see those.
it really feels like I am. it looks like so much fun but the limitations of being console only almost kill it for me.

i accidentally did this move and avoided a skewering from a shield and sword thug, glad to know it wasn't a glitch!

Holy shit!
So I finally get to play today. I rest at the Inn and get an update that someone used my pawn.
Not only did I get 2500 rift crystals but the guy gave me a Scholar's Coat for my magey-type to wear.
This game is excellent.

I can totally see that but as ports are MANY times not as good as the actual real versions AND this one has some issues. I think it might be easier to go with the devil you know versus the devil you don't know...and may never come.
excellent point. I'll definitely make a decision soon. what sort of irks me is the lack of multi player. I understand the pawn system just curious about the replay value.

So I'm in the Rift Shop looking around, and there's a "premium ring" going for 1.5 MILLION Rift points? and all it seems to do is raise defense by a point? what the hell is this
Karak

I never expected it so I sort of am ok without it being there. I think that perhaps a sequel will allow that you know? It sounds like its selling well. We will see but I could see a sequel fixing those issues and perhaps even coming to PC as well once they identify that a new IP like this has legs.
I know many people miss the co-op. I sort of try to just concentrate on what is there in the finished product. It may not be exactly what I want but what is there is damn sweet
Also you could rent or Gamefly it? No loss of full price or anything.

in the encampment there's a guy sitting next to the rift stone that will sell you things for rift points. It says "rift shop" when you're in his menu. most are potions and things for a few hundred points, then there's that ring for 1.5 million.
Started playing at 4....just looked at the clock. :O
Time flew! I am absolutely loving this game. So very good despite it's small problems. Every battle is epic and each quest feels like a real, arduous journey. Combat is perfect and very satisfying. Up to level 22 now and am just starting to get some cool looking gear.

Ran into a drake in the woods North West of the bandit fort. I don't think I've been thrashed that hard by a game in years. I barely scratched him, he was just throwing me around and napalming me into oblivion.
Any tips other than avoid him?

What are the quests like in this game? Simple fetch quests? Kill x amount of y? Is there a lot of variance in the quests?

Yeah, I'm with a lot of you. What a damn game. When it was first announced, I told myself I was getting it day 1 and that never changed. No regrets at all. This is more like an adventure than a game! Of course I have a few gripes with it and there's small problems, but it's still great.
It's all I've been getting.

I've put about 5 hours in thus far. My pawn has been whored out about 4 times thus far. Got a nice floral staff for her too. Thing was valued at around 7k gold. She'll be hanging onto this staff for a while.
