O.o maybe I should save some of my money to use on MS points then to get the expansion

kenjiharima · 2013-01-02, 22:57

Looks good...probably been disc lock from the start lol.

Velsy · 2013-01-02, 23:46

I just remembered. Biggest question of them all

Why do I have to sleep in the inn, when I have my own house in Cassidia? Not to mention pay!

kenjiharima · 2013-01-03, 00:49

Probably since the Arisen doesn't like it there and wants to live in a Inn. XD

Or

Later the Arisen's house will given to *spoilers* Selene, if you finish the witch quest.

Velsy · 2013-01-03, 02:28

Yeah, I've past that point (quest?) in my game now. I have to say, Selene is my most favourit NPC so far (just ahead of Feste). I hope theres more to her now that shes a resident of my home <3.

Mateus · 2013-01-05, 02:03

Just got my copy in the mail today. It feels like a combination between FFXII and Fable with the group combat and the free-roaming open sandbox gameplay element. Already I am enjoying tossing innocent bystanders off of the pier and off of clifftops /evil laugh

Velsy · 2013-01-05, 09:24

Why is it just about all the forts in Dragon Dogma are all just about falling apart (some without gates even). If they are all in ruins, why cant we see more forts like the encampment, rather than having these *rest* spots that are open invitation to all kinds of monsters to wonder in.

I have a question about Julian.. didnt quite understand what he was doing that well. If I got it right. He was trying to make sure that the Duke didnt slay the dragon to prevent Gransys from gaining greater polictal power ? Is that it ? So in otherwords he was protecting his countries political power ?

I am level 55 now and I think ima about to fight the Dragon. The guy with the messed up face just got squashed. Had a pretty touching farewell with both Alinora and Madeleine the ex-shopkeeper :'(

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-01-05, 09:41

The story in Dragom's Dogma is... Well I won't say non-existent- poorly paced and lacking coherency doesn't even begin to describe it

To be fair it's partly to do with the open world setting that makes it hard to keep track, but mostly it's because they really don't have any good writers over at CAPCOM

Velsy · 2013-01-06, 02:35

Hmm well I really like games that are storyline driven. I thought Dragon Age was great, until the ending was poor <.< (not played the expansion or 2nd game)

I've killed the Male bandits to the West, and not long ago I noticed they *came* back to life O_o Same with the female bandits at a Road Gate up north. Is there a guy in the shadows giving out free wakestones or something?

but another odd thing. Is when I fought the Cockitice whos rampaging in Goren San, I reloaded twice because my main pawn died and it didnt help that I was fighting it at night so it was sorta hard to see. But I got it down to 1 dot and a bit and was making good progress. Then I swear it flew up and dissapeared (like I had fended it off) Then the quest update came up and told me to see the chamberlain. Which then he told me I slayed it.

I seriously thought it just flew off. But acording to him I killed it. Only way I think I could of killed it is if my Main pawn whos an ice mage. Hit it with her most powerful icespell and its health dissapeared before my eyes. She does that to cyclops's and Chimeras sometimes. but the wierdest thing is, I've checked my history of slain monsters, and I havent been able to find the cockitice listed. So now I am stumped. Did I really kill it ? or did it do like I thought and flew off?

Has this happened to anyone else ?

OH so that why the story in Street Fighter IV and SF X T is so bad

.

kenjiharima · 2013-01-06, 19:36

Well let's hope the dark arisen expansion helps out with the confusing story.

And yes been killing people as well in DD in my 3rd playthrough.

Velsy · 2013-01-08, 01:52

Hmm well I finished the final battle with the Dragon. It was an interesting battle of chasing, then kept chipping away at his weak spot. Still find it anoying trying to graple mobs when the camera is moving all over the place :/ so it changed the direction constantly.

Spoiler for End of the game:

I don't really get whats happened to the world. I didnt think the Dragon was such a basturd to set off a curse before his death. He was the one to set the duel of fate. He more or less seemed respectful and impressed at his defeat. Its suppose to be very rare an Arisen defeats the dragon right?

The diplomatic dicussion before the battle was interesting too. Captured the Dutchess on her voyage back to the mainland and used her as a possible sacrifice bargin. I always knew that Duke was a fraud. The moment one of the guards told me that noone seen him slay the Dragon, or whatever happened to his pawns. First thing that struck me was Beuwolf alike. I obviously wasnt going to sacrifice anyone after coming this far ^_^ . Not my style so I walked forward, drew my sword and danced with the dragon ^_^

So I've been playing in Everfall a bit. Took a bit how to work out getting to the different levels (still seems annoying). Theres a few odd things thats happened. Madeliene who I helped escaped from the guards and got a touching moment how I changed her life. Showed up in Cassadis, not even mentioning a word about her departure like it never happened........ I've just noticed Quina who left to join the cathedral on the mainland is..... back at the Abby in the forest? Did something go wrong?. Selene my favourit NPC character of the game doesnt seem to do much after coming to my place other than brewing ale <.< . The Dutchess Alinora is head-over heels for me, I guess rescueing her 3 times, especially from a dragon has her love points max out ^_^. Feels like a traditional ending of rescueing the princess ^_^ She was afriad of returning to her noble family in disgrace. I am also sure it would of been easier for her to kiss me if she had taken my Griphic helm off before doing so. I only put it on to fight the dragon, just to look the par for the confrontation ^_~ Her way of running is soooo girly too, its just cute.

Oh and what the hell is with maximillion, after doing all those things for him (I did feed him a few quils) he turns around an calls those harsh words at me like I am some sorta of scum? So a few odd and strange things seem to exsist now.

I thought the games design, animation, polish and looks have been awesome. Its just the content and basic features have been lacking. As someone mentioned earlier, they raelly needed to use better writers for the story, or more of them.

For now I just fighiting in Everfall and exploring whats changed. Have to hand in like 20 wakestones, I think I have 40 already (only got like 2 all game). I have to say I was suprised so much by the grim goblins and the hellhounds are dam insane (and annoying at times) take thems 2 seconds to put a fireball in your face <.<. Or the drag you off when you get nocked down by a Harpy or boss mob.

The Godsbane is an... intesting weapon. I dont get it yet. But I can see its use if your turning evil, getting possessed, or turning undead <.< or just something like it.

In all, I spent quite a bit of time on the game. I guess I'ev liked it but wish for various improvements which probably will never come. Gransys seems pretty much doomed now. But there werer flaws with the country to begin with.

The best moment in the game for me was either the part with the jester crown, or the duel between Mercedes and Julian (where did Julian go after that)

Velsy · 2013-01-08, 15:02

I've spent the last 2 hours fighting the Dragon in the Everfall, I just cant kill it. I've got it to 1/4 of the final bar and its completely black now. I've been crawling all over it and no more red spots to aim at anymore. I get the feeling this a lost cause or I am not ment to kill it ?

The camera angles while climbing it are terrible too.

Mateus · 2013-01-08, 18:03

I am seriously loving this game, and addicted to it. Thanks to this thread and the reviews I actually decided to get a copy and haven't regretted it so far. Some of the characters remind me of FFXII and the map/city style/layout reminds me of XII as well. But whenever I hit the pause menu and that eerie drone hits reminds me of Silent Hill 2 pause screen.

kenjiharima · 2013-01-08, 19:35

Spoilers Julian

Spoiler:

And yes you can have a harem of girls and guys in your house when you wake up after a dragon fight with a new game + or more new game ++++

After this little chit-chat might go back playing DD.

Kyero Fox · 2013-01-10, 09:59

Apparently the top Pawnz are all girls.

guess sex sells in DG too :P

Sorry but I'm not one to go to the top of the list and pull out some OP pawn to make the game easy.

Velsy · 2013-01-19, 18:24

I've recently connected the ps3 throught my computer to gain internet. I was suprised when I put in the network cable and it just worked (thought I would have to fiddle around changing network settings)

So I've started a second game and wanted to try the online pawn system. But I dont really have get, or have much use for the RC points. Doesnt seem much use unless you want to hire pawns above your level, or buy masks from that old guy in the encampment.

Theres one thing I have analized for a while now.. And that is the land of Gransys. Let me say this, whoever was in charge of the concept of Gransys, should be fired. Not to mention there is only two towns and most of the forts/rest areas are a joke. But for a country Island, why isnt there a port ? A place were supplies and trade can come in and out from the mainland.

If you look at Gransys, they dont even have control over most of the Island, they are pretty much pinned in the west so supplies and trade would be even more vital. Cassadis is a fishing village, so they are capible of taking supply and trade, but as you can see, they mostly have docks and whalfs designed for fishing. Its alot better facilities than Gran Soren has and they would normally be more busyier if they doubled as a trade port.

Its been mentioned about poor storyline writing and I do agree. But also poor design of the land/country the game is held in. There doesnt seem much of a country at all, Gransys is riding on thin Ice. If Gran Soren was to suffer a calamity, the country is much screwed. No real other choice but to abandon the Island. They just dont have a firm hold and lack other villages/towns to support themselves.

Anyway thats just my thoughts on it. I wonder if anyone thought the same. I wonder what the mainland is like

kenjiharima · 2013-01-20, 03:38

Iam more surprise they don't have horses and just walk.

Fast travel needs to be implemented if there is a Dragons Dogma 2.
