Dragon's Dogma - Dark Arisen

Copy save to USB Souj? There's means of having multiple saves on both consoles. Not sure how it effects your pawn and online interaction though.

NG+ you can buy a portcrystal from the Forgery dude for 200k.
I was happy about having 1 portcrystal so early on, but now I get two? plus the 3rd after I get to Bluemoon tower? :D

NG+ ending stuff

Spoiler: show

So I finished NG+ just now and no idea who that new Seneschal was, either random main player from online or just a random person the game made. I had skipped the cutscene of the unrobing of the new person, first time was some male magic knight, reloaded and it was a female warrior.

You can buy infinite from him! Full fast travel unlocked!

For NG+ I'm not doing any story quests until all non-notice board quests are done. It's no guarantee that I'll hit every quest, but at least I won't lose any like my first time through ㅠㅠ

[Souj]

Wish I knew exactly what the trophy meant by "complete all pre-planned, non-notice board quests."
What the hell is a pre-planned quest?

[Kaelan?]

Quests that aren't from the notice board. Like finding the church scriptures in cassardis early on in the game, or going down the well for the soldier guy.

That one looks like an incredibly annoying achievement to try for without a guide. You'd basically have to check every NPC at every story point :s

[Souj]

Yeah, and almost seems impossible for now so I might have to skip it for a third playthrough...
I've currently done every quest I've come across, problem is, many quests require you to kill other NPCs who give out quests. So hell, I guess I'll just burn through my second run.

[Kiarax]

They have giant question marks above their head if they have a quest, really doesn't seem all that bad to me. Only issue I can see is if random quests pop up in the encampment and starting village after you do later story quests. Means you probably gotta go back and forth to each between every main quest to double check for new ones.

[Souj]

and just realized non pre-planned quests are probably like when you run into a big monster out in the wild.

38 hours in i just learned how inclinations work fuck me my pawn must have sucked swamp dick at tanking

[Mots]

I'm kinda disappointed with new game+ I figured it would just start you over but have all the enemies at a higher tier. Also, I would stick around in the Everfall endgame area with a save if I could get rid of the fucking gloomy evil sky. Shit is no fun running around in the dark.


Also, has anyone tried to dragonforge the rusted weapons?

[Souj]

yeah, new game+ just seems way too easy. 3rd playthrough I think I'll just create all new people.

[Doombear]

and just realized non pre-planned quests are probably like when you run into a big monster out in the wild.

The guide lists 44 "Emergency Quests" that aren't initiated inside towns or by speaking to NPCs. They are mostly the Boss Fights against the bigger monsters, some "Save the NPC!" quests and a handful of minor groups like Goblin/Bandits events.

... SO NOT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS BUT...

... Would you explain for those that don't? .. :D

[Kiarax]

Knowledge chair helps adjust it too. I think there's elixirs you can use to instachange it too? Using one changes their secondary inclination and two in a row changes first.

[Insanecyclone]

Well that helps. I have my sorc pawn just rushing into things like a dumb shit lol

[Eleven19]

Oh the knowledge chair right. Yeah my pawn is guardian primary and nexus secondary I believe I noticed at one point. I've only had her in the chair twice, though.

[Kais]

... SO NOT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS BUT...

... Would you explain for those that don't? .. :D

your pawn has two inclinations (primary and secondary) that decide how they act a fool in battle. you can check via status menu
the dude near the riftstone at the encampment trades you crystals for the potion things that change the inclinations
so if you're wondering why the fuck a pawn runs off ahead or if they stick too close to you when you want them to chill back, it's because of those shitty inclinations

before my tank girl Cream had guardian and medicant which means she ditched my mages to protect me and pretend like she was healing when she cant
now i have her set to scather and utilitarian, which respectively means she goes for the strongest mob and uses shield drum/steel will/perfect defense

those goddamn gauges in the pawn creator threw me off though, i thought it was an accumulative stat but nope

[Kiarax]

Also worth noting about the chair is you can lower your pawns speech rate with it. I wish more people did that 'cause every time I hire a random pawn they don't shut the fuck up.
