Multi Dragon's Dogma 2

[TD]

The level cap is 999?! Shit, I'm officially done worrying about any of that. I assumed it was still 200, so I was thinking I was about a quarter of the way there already.

I actually wish it was a reasonable cap again like 200.

You can easily outlevel everyone and not get hired this way, at least in OG DD, all 200s could hire eachother.

@Kat

I missed it on my first playthrough but just did it on this one. Did you do the sidequest Saint of the Slums?

 

[Kat]

I don't see it in my quest list, no.

Damn - it's definitely an interesting one... not sure what triggers it, I was in the slums of Vernworth and got it.

 

[Kat]

Hmm. I've spent a lot of time there and it hasn't triggered. Did you pick it up before or after the coronation quest? Maybe I need to get farther in the main story to unlock it.

It's pre-coronation, outside the church/chapel thing I saw a brief argument happening and then I had to manually talk to the person.

 

[Kat]

Ah, I found it. I can't believe I missed that quest, I swear I've talked to that lady several times already.

So this did not turn out to be the game I was hoping for. Seems really cool but it just didn't click with me that hard.

@Christina has really been enjoying it though

Damn - I know you were pretty hyped about it so this saddens me.

What about it didn't connect with you?

I think its mainly just that I'm usually not a fan of how a lot of Capcom games feel. I look for more immersion, especially when it comes to a fantasy setting, and everything about this game screams THIS IS A VIDEO GAME AND HERE ARE THE MECHANICS AND SYSTEMS YOU ARE INTERACTING WITH.

Nothing wrong with video games feeling like video games, but there's a lot less escapism involved in this approach, which is more what I'm looking for.

That... makes sense because that's really Capcom games in a nutshell. I'd assume you aren't big on something like Monster Hunter as well, from this description?

It's too bad that there's truly no game out there that's for all gamers and we're stuck with this trial and error, shelling out the money - and hoping it's what we're looking for.

I'm not a huge Monster Hunter fan, but playing multi-player with Da Boys and also the way they handle the paper doll aspect of your character (one of my biggest driving forces in games) are two major positives that usually lead me to spending a bit more time with them.

I like the pawn system... and I know Capcom is married to it, but oooo boy do I believe this game could've been so much bigger with genuine multiplayer.

 

[Christina]

I do think the game gets better after you level a bit and unlock more interesting classes. My biggest thing I think reminds you its a video game is the lack of targeting and the climbing can be annoying.

It's definitely a slow starter that really uncorks when the vocations open up a lot more.

Targeting I get, Capcom hates targeting for whatever reason.

And climbing... yeah. Most of my deaths came from gravity.

I'm personally glad we have pawns instead of multiplayer. I prefer single player games though.

What's your favorite class?

So far I like magic and sorcerer but I've switched to mystic spearhand and not that I'm starting to figure it out, it seems pretty good.

I too like the pawns but I'm not a multiplayer type anyways. Would be nice of people could choose.

 

[Kat]

I never could figure out mystic spear hand. I'm working on magic archer now, and idk if I like that one either, despite it being my favorite class in the first game. I can't figure out the targeting system for it.

Mage, sorcerer, and thief are all a blast. I'll probably switch back to one of those once I level up mystic archer.
