Well, I've done everything I needed to on BBI. I wanted to complete the bestiary, but that woulda taken way too long unless like 50 people decided to rent my pawn. Time to go back to the game and go for the plat.
PS. Brain Splitter + Eminence is even more OP than thousand kisses + tempest gale. Only bosses it's weaker on is 2nd Daimon, Gazer, and the imprisoned gorecyclops.

Welp, apparently I have 10 Godsbanes now. That puts me at NG+10?
If anyone needs one let me know. Why can't I stop playing this game.

This is on my "buy this game when you beat more of your other games" list. Looking forward to it.
Locked 30 FPS with a 1080p resolution on base consoles that gets increased to a resolution of 2560 x 1440 on the PS4 Pro.
No known Xbox One X support at this time.
Long time DD(DA) love affair. If you are clicking on this spot light and wondering WTF?..is it really worth it??
The answer is Yes.
Purchase it on you console of choice. Enjoy the very enriching experience. Ask questions along the way like: "Why the hell didn't I jump in earlier?" Or why the heck was this game hidden in plan sight and no one (including the big C) said anything about it?"
Or
"Can I be your friend so your Pawn can help me kick ass across Gransys?"
Looking forward to the MMO of the launch of the next progression of the series in 2030.
Much love to all and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and end year close outs to all.

I played this a lot when the remaster hit, but then ran out of steam. Last thing I did was
. I remember feeling really overpowered with my group (unintentional, haven't been minmaxing at all and the pawns are not higher level) last I played and kinda lost interest.
Talk me into finishing this game, Era!
kill some mage guy who had stolen the king's ring or something like that
Talk me into finishing this game, Era!
If you're feeling overpowered, wait till you get to Bitter Black Isle. That's when you get to really test your metal. But you need grit to that, friend. Have you got grit.?
eesh, to be honest personally to me it sound like a dealbreaker i've never enjoyed the lantern in this game so having a DLC where i might need to have one up most of the time is a no-no. I'm aware i can hotkey it but its just the concept of it as a whole, even with a lantern night exploration has never been fun in this game, to me.
You can easily roll through there without a lantern if you want, there are firepots you can light along the way.
Wait... what?
Are you referring to the lights in the sewers, that can damage the enemies?
Yes...sorry if I am wrong I thought they stayed lit. I was primarily a lantern guy.
Oh, they do,
was just wondering if I had actually missed sconces you could lit elsewhere haha
Sadly, no. I believe they lost the rights in the re-release.
After beating the game once I decided to start a new game in Hard Mode with the intention of actually going through the
in order to obtain my Platinum so any players on PS4 feel like hiring my pawn? I could really use some RC to to properly set a 2nd and 3rd inclination

In case anyone is interested in knowing I will playing mainly as a Magick Archer and I made my own Balanced Build that allows me to hit the minimum 500/500 threshold while playing as a Magick Archer as much as possible.

Yeah I got annoyed as well so just ramped up the gamma and brightness. There's still one very dark area where you will need it until you have the layout memorised, but it's only a minor inconvenience. The DLC is better than the main game. The enemies.are tougher, the loot is better and the story is probably better as well. If you're a relatively low level then it's really amazing. Once you get to grips with it a bit it is definitely worth creating a second profile and going directly there after creating your pawn, it makes it a Dark Souls style challenge.
End game. You'll see. Also, you can summon tornados as a mage. That should be reason enough lol. Hard mode isn't bad either.
I might have! Just need to reach top shelf and pick up the disc before launching Fortnite out of habbit!
I've heard good things about the end game. Wonder how far I am?
If you just beat Salomet you arent very far away. The game can be finished in a few hours total if you rush. I think my second run was under 3 hours to end game. So at the very least you should finish it!
I believe you get a better latern at bb but it was never really an issue for me. Plus I always give my pawns laterns if they don't have one but I can see how it would be annoying if you run out of oil.
You can get the Elite Lantern from purifying a BBN3. It's not worth it though, just ramp up the gamma. You only need a lantern in the bloodless stockade after that.
Yeah I never thought using a lantern was that big of a deal tbh but just trying to him options if it bothers him.
I appreciate any sliver of exposure DD gets. It's my 3rd favorite game of all time (behind Dark Souls and Morrowind), and arguably has the best gameplay of any ARPG ever. It's also the most underrated game of the last generation.
I'm seriously dumbfounded that there hasn't been a true sequel. The MMO sucks (I played about 100 hours of it out of a voracious hunger for more DD, but it's a veryflawed experience), and the fact that Capcom likely lacks the budget to make a real successor has me depressed.

It's just my personal opinion, in general i'm just not a big fan of mechanic where if i don't use a light source i can't see anything, especially in an open world game like this. But i'll give it this, at least they didn't go with the lame blueish tint most games call "night time" here it's legit night time.

Okay I lied. I really want to finish the bestiary but doing it by myself takes too long. Back to requesting some pawn rentals.

I've decided to finally sit down and play this game in its entirety. I've started it a bunch of different times and always get distracted. Last time I spoke with someone about the game, they were talking about how fun ranged combat is, and how great magick archer is, so I looked that up... It seems like every discussion about this has you leveling up as something else, like sorcerer, and not actually playing as magick archer until level 200. How much of a difference does this really make? It seems strange to me to spend the whole game playing as something else just to prepare for something totally different.
Ach! I really, really, really hate how this "play as a sorcerer for 200 levels" thing became almost a meme of sorts.
I have never done this. The only reason to do this is to min-max your stats, and min-maxing is 100% useless in this game. Your gear determines your damage output to a far more significant degree than your stats, and playing the entire game as another class just so you can min-max another class is ridiculously counter-productive.
I would strongly recommend that you play as every vocation and experiment freely, and not worry about stat growth whatsoever. And then stick with the vocations you enjoy the most and/or that you feel are more suited to the situation. Seriously, don't worry about stat growth and you'll find the game far more fun and you'll be happier, I promise. :)
The "level up as something else" advice is purely for min-maxing. You can really level up as whatever you want and should be okay. You probably won't be competitive when it comes to online UR Dragon slaying, but if you don't care then it doesn't matter.
For reference, my Arisen is a pure strength build and I run around as a Magick Archer most of the time in BBI. I don't use magic boosting periapts, just strength ones when killing things that need to be scaled. This means my magic attacks generally hit hard enough to deal with most threats and I have zero investment in it (just the Blackwing Bow, which is best in slot).
It will not affect your enjoyment if you don't min-max, unless you are the type of person that enjoys min-maxing.
When I was looking up information on Magick Archer I was consistently told that I should level Sorcerer to Lv.200 and I was like what's the point of completely playing the whole game as a different Vocation just to play my Vocation of choice? So that's why I made my own build with 3 goals in mind: To play as a Magick Archer as much as possible, to play as a Sorcerer as little as possible and to meet the minimum 500/500 threshold so grinding in the end game isn't too much of a pain.
I guess the line of thinking is that if you're bothering to level to Lv.200 why not be the very best you can be? But if you don't care about stats just play whatever you want but speaking as someone who is leveling a Magick Archer at the moment I picked the middle ground where I'm playing the Magick Archer the most but I also care about my end game stats so I made my own build.
If you're interested if following my Magick Archer Build here it is: http://stackoverflow.github.io/dragons-dogma-stat-planner/#am0d000000001c001d14000000000000000064
With that build you get to play as Magick Archer for 120 Levels.

Thanks for the input, everyone. Guess I'll just do whatever strikes my fancy, for the most part. I'm sure I won't be able to stop myself from thinking about level-up stat bonuses, but I won't let it rule how I play.
Your thing says starting class is mage, but there's no mage levels taken!
You cant change vocations until Lv.10 so your starting vocation determines the first 10 Levels of your Vocation by force so yes my starting Vocation is Mage so that means I will go from Lv.1 to Lv.10 as a Mage and the rest of the 190 Levels are outlines in that build. By the way just in case you didn't know the game scales stats differently after Lv.100 so if you were to follow my build you can't skip around and be Magick Archer for 120 Levels first than work on the other Vocations you have to follow the first 100 Levels to the dot and yes starting as a Mage does matter don't start off as a Fighter despite needing Fighter Levels down the line or else your stats will be completely different.

On character builds, balanced ones are not the way forwards, at least that's what I've found. You want your main attack stat to be close to 800 once your character has leveled all the way to 200. High level enemies like Death, Daimon and high level dragon's have got high damage resistance thresholds a balanced character with 500 attack and 500 magic attack will go above those barriers by less meaning your character will do less damage overall.
I've min/maxed an assassin just now and she's got ~950 base attack power. Add 1850 for the Devilsbane, 20% for bloodlust, 20% for opportunism, 20% for clout and 20% for autonomy and you get a character with base attack of almost 4300, stack 4 conquerors periapts and you're hitting almost 8000 attack power. Even with the daggers that comes down to about 6700, that plus tempest harness lets you rip through pretty much everything in the game. Only the stupid living armour needs high magic attack, and that's when the pawn is useful.
On the magic side min/max for sorcerer is also amazingly powerful, my focussed holy bolt with my sorcerer can take off half a health bar from Death each time there is a full hit and he staggers on the third hit meaning I can get around 2 health bars off him before he runs away.
Balanced characters won't breach the damage threshold by enough to do very high damage to top level enemies, it's not something I would recommend. Min/Max is the way to play IMO.

Sleep until night time in Cassardis, go to the pier and head to BBI, you can change vocation with Olra. You can also run through the first area to get to Barroch in Duskmoon Tower to buy an Archistaff if you want to become a sorcerer. Being a mage after level 10 is completely pointless, you're just losing 1 magic attack point per level and slowing down your vocation rank progress. You'll also get the staff bearer's ring once you get there and you get grand ingle which is very useful for weak enemies.
If you're up for a small challenge then go and get the void key from the Midnight Helix and run through to the Arisen's Refuge to get the Moonbeam Gem to unlock the Ring of Perseverance (you get 50% more discipline points, allowing you to rank up faster). You just need a lot of stamina items and to be able to dodge some of the more powerful enemies in the Midnight Helix. You can run past everything else.
