    That's very common at low levels, but once you hit 30-50, especially if you're like me and don't rush to progress the story and get phat lewtz ASAP, even those will drop off a cliff. In general you'll need to make sure you have:

    • good primary and secondary inclinations (check the Wiki for details, it's important)
    • good gear, upgraded if possible
    • non-retarded name (although, for some people, joke names or tribute characters can be a plus)
    • doesn't look or sound like shit, nice matching/complementary gear
    • sensible and useful spread of abilities and augments that complement inclinations; this is hard to nail down as tastes vary, but a Mage for example with Pioneer/Challenger, High Anodyne, High Halidom, Fire Affinity, Holy Affinity, and two good offensive spells is what many people would probably want)

    If you're hurting for rentals, joining a "rent and rent alike" group is the way to go. You'll need to rent others' pawns too of course, and they likely won't be quite as optimal as the cream of the crop you can find on an all-inclusive search.

    I'm having a really odd bug at Rotwood Depository, the water on the floor appears as a flat texture. Am I alone in this? Never had any issues before this.

    Speaking of DD's development, the success of the PC version will influence whether or not they'll be making a sequel.

    All right man, I'm taking some Codexer pawns out. One of you level 150 bastards should take mine out for farming so I can get some dank rift crystals.

    They're 50-100 levels above me so it's gonna be pretty boring, but then again, the most challenging fight I've had the entire game was my first encounter with Saurians in Cassardis. I used Burst Strike too much and aroused the whole roomful, and completely forgot I was supposed to slash off tails. I died three times until it dawned on me not to rush and to go for the tails. I don't think I've died in combat since, only from falling off cliffs occasionally.

    Kind of surprised about the sales, I mean 250k is nothing to scoff about and close to 5 millon dolars but I guess the game would have to sell close to q milion to be greenlighted for a sequel

    And yet they made Dragon's Dogma Online with all features of DD combat and it's systems (along with your own pawn lel) in MMO.
    Aside from that Original release of DD didn't really have any marketing behind it.

    Imo they simply thought that they will have next WOW by doing DD ONLINE with it's awesome combat model thus they didn't care about single player and created mmo.

    Is this game more fun than Twitcher 3? I've been enjoying Twitcher as an equestrian simulator, but the combat/loot whoring leaves a lot to be desired, and I can see myself getting burnt out before long.

    It is complete oposite of TW3.

    Amazing combat but mediacore story/quests/characters.
    Though not level scaled open world is good imo.

    Every time I think level scaling is not thaaat bad I play a game like DD were you really can see how your character starts off having 15 minutes battles with a cyclops and coupke of levels later you can kill them in less than 3 and the simply awesome way you can feel the growth and power of your main char and pawn and it makes so much fun... Then you play some mad max which is fun but feels like the upgrades just allow to take on bigger enemies or tougher cars but other than that you dont feel that growth at all...
    Been itching to try Requiem for Skyrim to get that morrowind feeling and just might do that next aftet DD

    So does queen clothing set blow out the competition early on? Basically all my pawns wear that because they have the best stats everytime.

    Remedy for not dying:

    1. Go to BBI as melee.
    2. Clear it.
    3. Keep tooling around on there without resetting it through New Game Plus.

    It blows other sets out of the competition to get me to grab your pawn and throw it off a bridge

    Early armor doesn't really matter enough to bother.

    You could have switchd it out much earlier, but its a hassle to compare cause it's a full set and when you hover over another armor piece as a replacement it will always look like a huge downgrade.
