Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

[Anthony Davis]

Purchased.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hell yeah! Pre-ordered as well. Hopefully I'm gonna be finished with Lightning Returns by that point.

 

[Zombra]

Tempted to instabuy, but that won't make the game arrive faster. Might as well wait and see if GMG comes through like Morgoth predicted.

 

[Delterius]

Oh God I waited for a year, hoping for PC release, then I bought it for the PS3 anyway and played seven times.

Should I buy it again?

 

[Martius]

Might as well just wait bit longer, it should drop in price in during sales next year. Also check out if any shop offers box, it should be bit cheaper although I have no idea if it also includes preorder bonus.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Should I buy it again?

Yes.

(Because we need more PC ports.)

Yes.

We need people who know what they are doing who can create competent pawns.

Also, support the games you like.

That's a good idea. We may want to coordinate our efforts to incline the Rift.

What sort of pawns do you people run with?

Expect me to have a very stylish pawn.

At early levels, my pawn is usually a healer/buffer, dressed like a slut proud independent woman, for easy rift crystal farming.

At later levels, sorcerer with super aggro inclination, dressed to impress.

Game is also available at http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/pl/en/pc/games/rpgs/dragons-dogma-dark-arisen/ Maybe with some voucher price should be lower than steam one as long it will let you pay in dollars or euro.

Now you're talking!

Current GMG code is
23PERC-WTHGMG-ADVENT
for 23% off.

Preordered.
EDIT: GMG confirmation email states a release date of January 29th, sooooo what the hell. I bet it's a typo. Will inform if further information is uncovered.
EDIT: A forum mod got back to me really quickly. Looks like the GMG version will indeed go out on the 15th, but that's not official.

Loli mages.

*Looks at the fabulous pawns and arisens on the PS3*

Yes, I should have foreseen the bunch of Fashion's Dogma answers.

 

[Damned Registrations]

What sort of pawns do you people run with?

A short fat hag that does nothing but heal and cast one elemental buff. Easiest to get useful behaviour that way.

Though this time I'm thinking I'll make an archer pawn, I've heard they can become OP aimbotting snipers if trained properly.

Personally I really enjoy the underappreciated Strider pawn. Sure, they don't get that one OP Ranger ability, but they are versatile and they are the best friends of Sorcerer Arisens if they have an Over Offensive mentality (if I'm not mistaken I ran with Scather/Challenger/Pioneer as Primary/Secondary and Hidden inclinations, respectively). Daimon won't look your way with one of them climbing all over them.

 

[FuriousGamer87]

As usual, I going to make a female paifu Ranger for deadly ranged support.

 

[Siveon]

So, this is gonna be my 3rd version that I'm gonna play, and I still have no clue how pawn training works.

I assume it all has to do with the training chair? I just think the questions/stats they give are a little vague.

 

[Damned Registrations]

It's ridiculously complicated actually, their behaviour is modified by pretty much everything you do. You can use the items as a shortcut to solve some basic problems, but they'll learn a lot of your habits too (which is why there are so many useless pawns like mages that spend the whole fight climbing on enemies or warriors keeping their distance or standing right on top of the mages.)

 

[Siveon]

Oh good, I'm not a complete moron. But then again, shit, how can I not make my pawn completely useless (since I usually like to have my pawn be an opposite)?

Would it be a good idea to train a pawn by example, then? Ex be a mage to have a decent pawn mage.

Read on Pawn Inclination, it breaks down the potential AIs and how they come to be. Plus, if you plan for it, your pawn could have perfect inclinations from the beginning.

 

[Anthony Davis]

You can also spend Rift Crystals to purchase potions that you use that will SET you pawn inclination to whatever you want.

Other than that, you have to use the chair.

 

[Amn Nom]

Fastest preorder I've done in a long time.

 

[Siveon]

Damn that wiki is pretty good. Yeah, still complicated, but after my 30 something hours of already put-in playtime, I kinda get the gist now. Props to Capcom for trying something at least. I already remember a few guardians back on the PS3 (though I thought that was just the AI in general being wonky), makes sense.

I like the sound of a challenger/pioneer Warrior or Ranger myself. I was thinking of being a Mage/Sorcerer and then moving on to a Mystic Knight. Might be nice to have some crazy Warrior or OP Sniper around while I'm playing support.

Although the most fun I've had is with a Warrior, I just can't really kill much with 'em. Can't play fast or nimble types either (preference), so support/damage/tank/whatever with Mystic Knight is my plan.
