Haha, I did the quest Mr. Lewis was talking about before where Fournival wants you to escort his daughter around the city. Little did I know that she was the snotty little girl I had tossed around earlier in front of the cathedral for giving me lip when I tried to talk to her. Boy, was that awkward!

nice one. i'll hunt down all the sidequests in the second playthrough that i just started. have lots of things to do though, so i guess i'll only really make progress the coming weekend.

 

@Difficulty:

To be honest, i thought the second half of the game was frustratingly easy. okay, My Pawns, Sir DieALot, Mister Mortal Kombat and Lady Deadface were to be resurrected a couple of times, but everything after killing the Halfwyvern with Level 25 felt like a piece of cake.

Huge-Ass-Endgame Spoiler: The Dragon at the End was kinda raped. i drank a Stamina Potion and spammed Triple Arrow (the imped version w/ 5 arrows), causing him to lose like 50% of his life only because of that. In addition, a fellow Mage's Tornado pretty much kills everything that is less than 50 feet tall.



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

And about the difficulty--I've spent real out of pocket money to have enough Rift Crystals to buy other people's pawns that are overpowered.  It doesn't take long for them to be underpowered as well.  The two pawns I lost earlier today were Level 46 (cost me about $5 from my pocket) and 39 (was free even though it was way more powerful than my current level 32 characters).  They both died a horrible death and now one isn't available anymore and the other costs more than I can afford.

The difficulty is pretty good.  Often times, you'll know you shouldn't be going to a certain place because the enemies there are just too powerful.  Then, later on you'll pass through an area and suddenly you'll kick ass on the enemies that beat you down before.  To keep things balanced, you can buy pawns on your level pretty much for free but pawns several levels higher cost a TON of rift crystals.

For those confused, you can buy Rift Crystals from PSN/XBLA for about a $1.  That way, you can have characters in your team that are waaaay overpowered but you're going to have to pay for them.  Characters that are higher in level will likely have finished the quests you're doing and can tell you what to do and where to go when you get lost.  As you play, your character will learn what to do and when somebody else buys them, you'll profit in Rift Crystals and your character will tell them how to solve the quests you finished or defeat enemies you've vanquished--they don't spoil them, though.  They just offer clues.

Haha, so typical of you to buy those crystals. I think im gonna avoid the crystals but I will buy everything else when it comes to DLC, I wanna experience it all.

So your pawns can permanently die or what?

What level are u d21lewis? Badgenome, what level are you?

I'm only 3-4 hours into the game so far and lvl 6 I think but I love it so much already. Absolutely fantastic and above my already high expectations.

I think I'm level 35 or thereabouts.

If you make a good pawn you should be able to get plenty of rift crystals without having to give Capcom any money. My dude generally brings in about 30k or better in rift crystals every time I stay at an inn. I seem to get a lot of rift fragments drops, too. They're only worth 100 each, but it adds up, and I haven't really been spending them anyway.

My personal pawn and I are at level 32. 

Your pawn can die if you don't revive them in a certain amount of time.  Well, maybe not die.  They'll just be returned to the rift and you can pick them back up from there.  Pawns that you hired will be returned to the rift but it costs you Rift Crystals to get them again.  It sucks because the guys I lost were uber powerful and I can't afford to buy them again.  I'm just hanging out with two asshole pawns until I can get my funds back up to buy better ones

It makes me feel bad because one guy in this thread said he took down a dragon while he was at level 25.  I found a dragon (two, actually) and both of them totally kicked my ass.  One turned my pawns against me and the other just fire breathed us to death.  I guess I need to find a new strategy.

Actually, it almost 5am!  I've got night training all week (Sun-Wed).  I go in at 8pm and get off at 4am.  Then I flip around and work 5:30am to 5:30pm on Saturday and Sunday.  THEN I turn around and work 5:30pm-5:30am on Monday and Tuesday before getting a week off (unless I decide to make some overtime).  Needless to say, my sleep schedule is all fucked up.  Sometimes, my body doesn't know what to do!

I'm watching WWE for the next 30 minutes and then.......more Dragon's Dogma!  I saw the ad for the game a few minutes ago.  I totally forgot that the game came with early access to RE6!  Awesome bonus, eh?

So you just came home from work?

It's a very nice bonus, nice idea by Capcom to include the Resi 6 demo. I almost feel special.

I'm gonna launch Dragon's Dogma in a few minutes myself. Just had a cup of coffee and I feel clear in my head and ready for adventure.

That Drake dragon to the far left of the map ??  at a forest that has goblins I think its weak to ice attacks and its heart has an opening.  Might need to carry potions that ward of that enchantment spell and one that removes silence.

 

 

also as a Sorceror meteor is a MUST,  A great way to take down hoards of pesky bandits but you need to find a way to pre cast it before they mob you..
