    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The Thief starting armor(or whatever armor they show in the char creator) looks like utter shit, which is weird cause they've shown very simple designs for other classes and in trailers and stuff, and then the Thief armor is like some wow armor shit with floating gigantic pauldrons and stuff...

    Magick Bow which is a special type of bow(no quiver, no string, looks weird as fuck but they light up with bunch of magic effects when you fire). I can't remember where you buy them but I assume the wiki would tell you.

    Yeah so Rurikhan who's a youtuber who makes a fair bit of monster hunter stuff made a detailed video on Mystic Spearhand(he'll be making another on Trickster too) and he lists all the skills you get and it's definitely way more than what they've shown in the class trailers. He explains like...

    If you just follow the main questline you'll basically get stuff done, just ignore Bitterblack Isle when that unlocks as it's basically endgame content(it's the Dark Arisen DLC stuff but can be accessed pretty early iirc, just you'll get smashed and do 1dmg per hit until you have enough gear)...

    Na they said stats don't work like in 1, and stats didn't matter that much anyway in 1 it was some min maxing bullshit but ultimately you could absolutely switch to war/assassin even after leveling to 200 as sorc, you just did a bit less damage but difficulty was never that high in DD1 that the...

    With respecing at camps I think you can probably switch your setup based on what you're gonna be fighting so even with just warrior as long as you spec into the skill that does damage when you're climbing on shit you'd likely be fine for example. Fighter wasn't so bad either the taunt worked...

    Last page has links they released the char creator, can get it on Steam directly on the store page or on PSN and the xbox equivalent, so you can make your char in advance and just play when it releases, it's not much but saves some time if you like customizing stuff for a while.

    Don't know how it'll be for this but online pawns tend to be pretty broken cause the cost to hire them was absolutely not scaled properly and you could end with like lvl 100 pawns at lvl 15 or whatever, it's definitely one of these feature that's better ignored if you're looking at a more...

    It's not even the usual jrpg super loaded in random ass dialogue stuff, it's like there's an opening sequence, and then you just get sent to kill stuff, go back to report, go kill more stuff, report and so on. There's actually few cutscenes or dialogue outside of sidequests. There is a "twist"...

    Also seems they won't release an actual demo, but they will make the character creator available ahead of time for people who want to spend some time making chars. Downside is you can't check what they look like ingame, I find the character creation is often different than real game conditions...

    It's not really related, the first game's "story" is pretty irrelevant and it mostly boils down to a conceptual thing rather than a proper plot, and iirc the 2nd game is just kinda like a parallel world thing where it's the same universe but not the actual same world. Think like Zelda where you...

    I mean there's indoor and indoor I guess, but I definitely disagree with that, the first game was almost exclusively stuff indoor with only a few things outside other than travel time from one "dungeon" to another and early game progression. The Shadowfort(orc/goblin fort), the Watergod's...

    They did show some caves in the recent previews, but the current demo they had access to was very restricted which is why everyone has the same footage. I'd be pretty surprised if there's no actual dungeon considering the first game basically only had dungeons and a fairly empty overworld...

    It's not capped to begin with, that's what they're saying. They'd rather have a cap and stick to that rather than have it fluctuate, but even then it runs pretty poorly on consoles so even a 30FPS cap might not help since they dip to 20 pretty frequently. With a good PC it should be better but...

    It can become really fucking good, the issue I have is you can't "lock" it so if you forget about it and shatter some random weap you can just brick it.

    Oh yeah I'm reading they had a bunch of stupid shit setup, I thought they had this setup in a non stupid way where it was purely the emulator and none of the pirate-y stuff to try to keep away from lawyers but apparently nope they were just doing stupid stuff. The Patreon also didn't help...

    Apparently the Yuzu vs Nintendo thing already ended with a settlement for $2.4m. Guess the Yuzu guys didn't want to drag it out in lawyer fees and could somehow afford that much. Interesting Nintendo settled for that amount thought they were looking at making an example but that's realistically...

    I'd assume since the prophecy drops are a different pool than the normal drops(they drop on top of you instead of on top of the monster for example), the prophecy drops still wouldn't include the boss, but can't say for sure.

    Well warlock ward generation is outright a bug from what I read, so that could get nerfed mid cycle pretty easily. It's supposedly absorbing 40% of minion life instead of 4% like it states. You don't have to go higher, at least not by large amounts, and it can be done via separate new...

    There's a few paladin builds that are pretty broken, healing hands stuff(I think there's a few variations) and Smite stuff. Also spinny hammers. The first couple have builds hititng 30k+ ward without the warlock bullshit, while doing pretty good damage. I really liked Erasing Strike build for...

    Some mobs have shred and shock will also shred lightning, but it isn't nearly as important as in poe where you usually overcap to account for curses and because resists are so important in mitigating damage, in this game if your resist drop to 60% you're "only" taking 15% more damage, which...

    Top comment on this points out that even past the stuff he mentions, there's an even more obvious one, you can see the leg of the 3rd monitor stand on camera during the whole run, she didn't think to move it further or adjust the camera differently. Really fucking dumb shit for clout.

    Better gear, but if you're using profane veil you need some minion health mods to scale that. If you're not it's likely lack of necrotic res being low because they have it on every piece of gear to scale Boneclamor Barbute. 5k ward should be plenty for pretty much anything besides stupid...

    Feels like for Sentinel you need 2 movement skills for it to be good, like shield rush(need to specialize if you don't use a shield) + spear(need to specialize it)/lunge(can be unspecialized) then it's fine, but feels bad depending on the build to run 2 of these. For other classes it depends but...

    Dying doesn't reduce stability as far as I've seen. The only thing that seemed to is when I killed Abomination the other day but forgot to speak with the spirit to claim my blessing, and then I noticed I was now short on stability to requeue and had to run another echo or two before I could...

    They're both pretty reliant on having enough phys resist and hp and yeah sentinel can usually get both pretty easily. But any char imo that gets their phys resist fixed by chapter 8 to like 60% or higher shouldn't have trouble with either. On my very first run I did die on Lagon on my necro who...

    Yeah when I did her on my fire sorc it was really easy cause of ward on hit on frost claw(converted to fire), and anytime you drop below 70% hp if you get hit by a big thing, your mage passive procs(should put points in it at least so it does) which gives you a ton of ward, and then flame ward...

    As I said above it's just resists, honestly by the time I reach her I usually have most resists at 60+ as good gear start dropping during chapter 8 and it's pretty easy if you upgrade the resist lines. I've facetanked her on most chars, some have enough damage to kill her without her doing much...

    There is a belt affix that removes all ailments on potion use which you can use to remove annoying shit, doesn't help when you're getting spammed but for most things it works well enough. It's a rare affix though you should add it to your filter to notice it and shatter a few, the affix has...

    Them scaling with minion hp is fine but they should be untargettable with your own stuff. The ward thing isn't the first issue with bone curse walls, there's some 0.9 builds that use it with sacrifice to do stupid stuff like one shotting bosses(takes a bunch of prep but still). The issue then...

    Well health converts into ward via low life uniques or some class specific stuff but if you use any of the poorly balanced ward generation tricks yeah it doesn't really matter as you'll get like 20-50k ward without much investment so it's just a matter of getting a few ward retention things so...

    That's one thing maxroll loot filters do well, hybrid health is always in the BIG RED recolor/emphasize category for important affixes, so you can't really miss them(unless they drop offscreen which is another issue, they definitely need the poe thing where you can set minimap icons on drops...

    Also some affix shards are really common as drops, while others are incredibly rare. Stuff like class specific affixes are super rare but these you'd use filter to find the ones relevant for you(they're pretty common as affixes on item when playing the class they're for), but several affixes...
