I believe an apology is in order.

What made you choose your beloved?
>Older woman
>Talks dirty
>Married to another man
>Comely as fuck

Apparently, my beloved is the witch from the forest. Did her quest, now she lives in my house and glows everytime I speak to her.
My arisen IS A LITTLE GIRL so it makes me uneasy as fuck.

Sorry I didn't brine him while I had the chance.

She sells me sexy underwear in the convenience of my own home.

That's the purest form of love though.

Post wholesome, happy arisens/pawns

That's gay as fuck.

>new save
>str based character
>do a moonbeam gem run for the discipline ring because assassin takes ages to level during the mainquest

>get explosive rivet ring
this would have NEVER happened if this was a magic character

Yeah.

...

Are you my big sister?

Holy hell I can see the relation. Headcanon-engine rumbling

Is high miasma a good quick-cast to give a pawn in lieu of high ingle?

Absolutely in my opinion, Ingle is a projectile and there are some fire resistant stuff around, Miasma hits the target area instantly, deals multiple instances of damage and I'm not sure but it might have a nice physical component to it? At least it kind of melts sirens in BBI and it does cause poisoning but that's negligible

Miasma is very good against small groups of weak enemies, or against slow enemies.

Still annoyed that poison can't stack with burning and slow.

>heterochromia

It's not heterochromia, it's a blinded eye.

nah miasma is just dark magic damage, there's no physical damage

No, it's heterochromia. A blind eye would be entirely white.

Best I could do with the tools available. She's usually got an eyepatch over the damaged eye anyway so it's a moot point, I just took it off for the face pic.

You can close her eye if you want.

>can't do full black or full white scelera
It fucking hurts, how am I supposed to make pic related?

Fuck you for reminding me of Dishonored 2.

I honestly just like to pretend the sequels don't exist. It worked for Dragon Age: Origins.

Do you also pretend that Dragon's Dogma 2 exists?

Why are you like this?

I'm curious, why do people seem to dislike/never really talk about Dishonoured 2?
Played the original and thought it was great, what could've they done wrong to screw up the sequel?

...

Yes. I'm playing it right now can't you see?

god when did it all go so wrong why are we here just to suffer?

I love the catacombs but some parts of it are frustrating storywise:
>be Elysion
>makes long speech to your gathered cultists
>things are going well
>Arisen shows up
>decides to kill everyone with summoned zombies because...?
>the Arisen crush all your zombies in seconds anyway
What was the point? And how did he manage to recruit people when he killed more Salvation faithfuls than the Arisen? Couldn't people get a clue?

And the most annoying part, Mason. Not only Elysion managed to escape (there was only one way out but somohow he missed the bad guy) but there is also that bullshit with Marcelo. I wish there was a choice allowing the Arisen to tell Mason to fuck off.

>You will never visit the moon

...

...

But DDO exists.

Sera Arisen? How long should I keep your pawn before sending her off? You only receive the rift points once I send her away, right? She helped me take down a dragon, 10/10.

I do the same with Prototype.

Well...
>Corvo talks
>outsider is no longer some leviathan interested in humanity, but just a boy sacrified to act as a guardian to the Abyss
>the whales are actually irrelevant
>Delila didn't really die

user, please
I'm already sad enough as it is

My biggest problem with it was that they switched writers and it showed. All the clever exposition that the first had it led the player to find themselves -emily being corvo's daughter, the heart being jessamine, what the Outsider actually was- was all alluded to in the game's imo really well done lore and in the books, the heart's quotes, etc. That was gone in 2 and beyond. It was literally hitting you over the head with exposition and I kind of hate that kind of storytelling in games.
Also, what they did to the Outsider, the most interesting character, is kind of a ball drop.
The level design in 2 is still very good, and there are a couple of really good little quirks, like the timepiece is great and the best thing I've seen in a while, but they're a bit few and between. My main problem is where they took the story I guess. The gameplay is more or less the same, they're still top-tier (best out there right now) stealth games if you refuse all the void powers, and there's some good QoL upgrades that shouldn't let me convince you if that's what you were in for with dishonored.

You know how during the post game everfall some doors are locked behind bars and all? And during the first Everfall visit, you have throw a switch that closes all the other doors, but opens up the path to the bottom?

what if you go back and pull the lever again, would that unlock the doors in the post game?

>leveling up as Warrior because STR gains

>come across Garm in BBI

Oh great, time for a 30 minute fight!

I think Salvation was a death cult based on wanting the Dragon to fuck everything up
the lore is on the official website, and I don't give a shit to re-read the entire bullshit about why Salvation does what it does

Are the notice board quests just continuously randomly generated?

STOP REMINDING ME!
this game could have a once in a lifetime game
it could have the greatest gift Capcom could have ever given us
it would have been amazing

>30 minutes
Do you not have good gear or something? Knock them down, it should take 2 max.

Do you need to transfer the materials from other's people pawns into your storage before sending them away?

It's hard to grab them though. It takes them maybe ~3hits to kill me, I'm level 88 but I leveled mostly as Strider.

Is there a combo you can do to hit them with Arc?

nope
everything outside of currently equipped weapons/armor are sent back to storage

I think most of them were clueless idiots like the ones you meet in the streets fascinated with the idea of being in a super secret club, not 100% brainwashed followers. Having the party ruined by the arisen, killing so many would at least send a message to the rest of Gran Soren that Salvation is stronger than they think, or at least that is how I reason it.

Also, Elysion was a jedi wannabe (accompanied by Julien) and Mason was a lone nigga with a dagger. I don't blame him if they managed to escape.

aught

Good because holy fucking shit, fucking pawns with acquisitor

Don't grab as a warrior for anything in the ground ever. Use exodus, all three moves, (for protection from getting hit too) and corona or whirlwind to knock down a quick enemy rather than arc. Lash also works if you want a charge move, otherwise use lunge or lash as soon as they're knocked down to keep them there. Use barbed nails if you're having problems staggering.

I made a low effort meme

>This party fuckin' sux
He never pulled this shit on me in the PS3 version, what an asshole.

duuude where do i steal that latern that doesnt go off in water ugh

A-aught?!

There's no lantern that does that, silly, you're looking for the ring of dessication

Senechal bless your pawn, brother in aught

No, they actually do have an order. There are however a fuckton of them.

so then I might as well just accept every noticeboard quest I come across, eh

Why not, I've already done that thrice :^)

Every one except escort quests yeah. You'll complete most of them naturally.

It was a choice of Inez or Mirabelle for me. Ended up getting Inez. There were a few other cute characters I liked but these two were at the top.

Inez
>Great, sardonic sense of humour
>Laidback and chill as fuck
>Enjoys a good drink
>Could see myself living a cozy as fuck life with
>Pretty decent hips

Mirabelle
>Always happy and upbeat
>Again, good sense of humour
>The kind of person that talks a lot so I don't have to
>Caring and nurturing
>Tallest female character in the game but not a complete stick
>Doesn't mind a little hardship

Nette is also up there as she shares traits with both and is a cute short thicc with a charming accent.

Why does this game have to be so much better than real life?

>so then I might as well just accept every noticeboard quest I come across
Yeah, just be careful with inventory weight. Get 60 skulls at watergod's altar not really a big help.

Why are the escort quests so damn dumb?
Everyone wants you to drag them through Satan's Arsehole just to reach one location that you'll only access later on in the game, it's so dumb.

Just ignore escort quests unless you already have a port crystal there.

>pawn returns with 0 rc
JUST

Today I dreamt about my pawn coming back with a rotten egg and 1-star across the board.

>0rc
>1/1/1
>10 Airtight flasks
>twice...

I'm sorry, I brought your pawn to BBI but then she got death'd.

Okay, seriously, how do the pawn summoning thing work? I hired a pawn from /ddg/, can I just use her as much as I want or am I supposed to send her away?

Use them as much as you want. when you're done, send them back and sleep for their owner to get their RC. RC in total is calculated by the time you spend and the enemies you kill with their pawn.

Can I resummon them right after chasing them? I only wanted to take her to give a hand to a fellow user, but she's actually quite useful.

If i were said user, is be way more pleased with one fat check than 2 little ones and would tell you to keep them, only good things come from big rents and there's a chance you'll get the pan extra knowledge too: when a pawn says something like "I've learned new ways to fight their ilk." But to answer your question, yes, you can hire them, rest to return them, then hire them again.

>some random pre-made offline pawn I found in Gransys is better than all the ones I found online
It hurts

I'm level 46 and his pawn is level 60, I don't think I can do much.

Hire from here
Eh, a couple extra thousand or tens never hurt. Plus a lot of people like you to take their pawns for lower level stuff as it helps them fill out beastiary stars for enemies they may have moved on from.

Then I'll keep using her a bit more.


Also I think my gamepad is broken.
>press RT
>she lifts the pawn
>hold RT
>she lifts the pawn
She's supposed to hold the pawn if I press it.

>modded my game save to restore Gran Soren post-dragon
>can visit the noble quarter without getting attacked
>get attacked the moment I enter the castle
>one npc sends me to jail the moment I attack one of the guards
This would've been fun if it wasn't for that shitty NPC, but at least Gran Soren is fixed.

>trying to get Dragon Bonds and Apostate's Anklet so I can look Greekish with Maiden's Camisole and Petticoat, but the damned Anklet just won't drop.

Can someone just give me a few dozen Cursed Armors?

>didn't realize Rook doesn't level up till I was level 17
I feel so retarded.

I carry him around 30 or 40. Heal and fire boon is nice.

>Found that sword with the eternal fire enchantment
>Want to go full beric
When do you get the Dragonseye band? Or is the only way to get one to buy it at the Black Cat?

What's better, fire or sacred boon?

I already made my pawn into my dedicated healslut. I only found out he didn't level up when I released him so I could add a sorcerer to my party.

how the fuck do i kill elder ogres? they 1 shot me at worst and 3-shot me at best during its "angry" phase

stab them with your pointy metal stick

Stay away from them, and try to poison them/slow them.

>tfw kept doing side quests and bbi shenanigans until i hit lvl 50 or so
>just started doing the wyrm hunt quests

there's just so much to do. and the map. i have to fill out the map bros. i could have missed something. right? like an empty flask haha.

You mena holy? Unless we talk about HFB, fire makes wonders aganist sulfur saurians, wolfs, harpies and basically everything at early stages.

Is this the right place to shill for my pawn? I need rift crystals.

No, go to /lolg/ for that.

Yes you dummy, you can shill your pawn here.

HFB? Qué?

It's the only place bb get to shilling

How many RC does one usually get when someone hires his pawn?
My pawn suddenly came back with 10k RC even though she was like level 12 or so. Is this normal?

Yes. Now, post lewds.

Holy focused bolt.

The max you can get is a million from a single rent. Yes that's normal for that level.

Is there a way to purge an elemental weapon buff from your weapon? This faggot pawn buffed my swords with fire against pyre saurians

Don't have that. I think.

The problem is that High Ingle is translated as "fireball", so...
