Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen - We're back! Available on PC on 1/15. - Games

We should start a general steam chat and/or keep a list of all of our pawns.

Decided to go Hard mode first time playing. Really feels like I'm earning everything with Strider (goblins dropping 10k gold outside Cassardis is lol though), constantly in motion and baiting enemies, as opposed to my Mage that got obliterated every fight because it can't fucking do anything when casting. Still die instantly but I'm not being punished for simply trying to play the game anymore, just feels funner to play which is too bad since I'm always the magic user kind of person. Maybe I'll give it a go again when I'm a higher level with better gear. For now I'll just leech off my Mage pawn.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49558352]3. Don't grab loot until the battle is over. If you constantly pick up loot your pawn will learn this and become much less effective in battle.[/QUOTE] Had to learn this the hard way when my Pawn goes "Forget the monsters, I'm taking the loot!' in the middle of battle.

ENB users: are your loading times really long as well? like, worse than console type of long? literally takes 1 minute or longer to load a map every time

[QUOTE=Saphirx;49563170]ENB users: are your loading times really long as well? like, worse than console type of long? literally takes 1 minute or longer to load a map every time[/QUOTE] Download the newest version, Bortis fixed the loading times in that one

So, I'm playing as an assassin and I just got lyncean sight. Does anyone know what the key is to zoom in and out? Even after having played this game on PS3 so much, I feel like I'm still finding new stuff in the game, and I have barely been to BBI too.

Why is there not a parry or "roll" function? I'm playing classic sword+shield and I'm getting fucked up majorly by anything human.

you can just block it and there are core abilities to improve yoru blocking, that's about it sprint and jump a lot

Striders can learn a roll ability.

[QUOTE=Killuah;49563488]Why is there not a parry or "roll" function? I'm playing classic sword+[B]shield[/B] and I'm getting fucked up majorly by anything human.[/QUOTE] Use dat dere shield you got bruh. Simply letting them hit your shield should briefly stun them if they're humanoid/not fucking huge.

My game has been crashing randomly at transitions ever since they applied the serverside fix. For example, go into the rift? Crash. Load a city or area? Crash. Didn't happen before :\ Have already tried validating the files on Steam, but everything checked out fine. [editline]19th January 2016[/editline] The crashes also seem to occur at random intervals, but always on loadings.

[QUOTE=Killuah;49563488]Why is there not a parry or "roll" function? I'm playing classic sword+shield and I'm getting fucked up majorly by anything human.[/QUOTE] Hold block and get moving castle. Literally un-killable. If you like moving around a lot Assassin has a core skill I believe where shielding in air blocks hits that would normally break guards at the cost of throwing you around.

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;49563547]Use dat dere shield you got bruh. Simply letting them hit your shield should briefly stun them if they're humanoid/not fucking huge.[/QUOTE] I can't time that correctly because apparently the game decides to keep the "blocking pressed" status for like 1 second even after I released the button so I'm doing shield skills that I don't want to do quite often. Wish this was as accurate as the Souls series in terms of input.

bought this without knowing much about it, except that it's a dark fantasy action rpg i'm surprised by how much i'm enjoying this. really neat game.

whichever pawn told me that "This land likely hasn't seen humans in a long time." when i was going to bluemoon tower deserved getting killed by the 9 bandits that were around the corner

So last night I was doing the mettle against metal quest and changed from sorcerer to strider due to the strong recommendation to be a ranged class for the quest [sp]I forgot to give myself daggers from storage though. The metal golem fight went swimmingly with just a bow but then a regular golem woke up and I realised only really had one realistic option... to punch it in the fucking head[/sp]- [URL="http://i.imgur.com/AbJUZHy.jpg"]Pic[/URL] I love this game

No one has used my companion :( Also Mercedes looks a lot like caska

There must be an option to do both fighting Grigori and getting rid of your "Beloved". Fucking duchess ruined my happiness of killing Dragon. Ffs I romanced Mercedes my whole playthrough, not this lying whore.

So are those female bandits in the keep on the way to the great wall related to any quests or anything? They became hostile to me while I was exploring the keep and I ended up killing all of them.

They're a rival gang of the Southron Bandits, so there were some sidequests relating to that.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;49564032]There must be an option to do both fighting Grigori and getting rid of your "Beloved". Fucking duchess ruined my happiness of killing Dragon.

Otherwise you'll probably end up with the Duchess (if you did her questline) or Barnaby (because you talk to him a lot).

[QUOTE=General;49563990]No one has used my companion :( Also Mercedes looks a lot like caska[/QUOTE] Welcome to DD, Male Preset 3 is almost literally just Guts.

And I thought no one will ever summon my pawn, then this happens. Now I am rolling in this currency and have no use for it.

Kinda curious since I want to roll Mystic night and I noticed my magic stat is all the way down.

The pawns people create are lovely [t]https://my.mixtape.moe/yaaxep.jpg[/t]

Kinda curious since I want to roll Mystic night and I noticed my magic stat is all the way down.[/QUOTE] I think I read somewhere that the mystic knight's attack is like 60/40 magic and melee But yeah Sorcerer has the highest mag attack/mag defense growth I've gone strider till 25, warrior till 30 and now sorcerer until 50, at which point I'll swap back to warrior until I feel like going mystic knight. Pretty fun to collect a bunch of augments (Acuity, rank 9 sorcerer augment that increases mag attack by 20% could be a good call if you don't want to spend most of the time as a sorcerer)

Basically, you use it to identify high level gear. Don't waste it on hiring pawns.

Oh good, I just entered the DLC area since I thought I could level up my sorcerer vocation. Then I met [sp]Death. It took no damage and insta killed one of my pawns.[/sp] I never noped so hard out of a room. And I encountered my first [sp]mimick[/sp]. That caught me so of guard that [sp]need to check every chest with magic/ranged attacks before going near them now[/sp].

Does anyone know how to / if its possible to use cheat engine to give myself 2 million currency? I somehow managed to sell the eternal ferry stone in GS when I got there and the only way to get it back is from buying it back from the Blackcat market or whatever its called :(

Alright so i did two things, i made a group on Steam for chatting without cluttering the thread i guess? [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/fapdog[/url] And i made a sheet for listing all of our Pawns, i only added a handful of basic fields so if you have advice on what else to add, let me know. [url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ieJloWXApNUFNHPEUqGvwDolUSHDiMxGBbnGPSo-cAg/edit#gid=0[/url] [editline] lewjbv [/editline] Alright, y'all should be able to access it without permissions now.
