Well it looks like I'm getting completely new dialogue from Phaesus now, after Talos is done with the dragons. He's having a nice indirect chat with the Pathfinder themselves, with the latter telling him he would have made for a fine arisen had he chosen a different path in life. I'm at a loss for words lol, I love this game but it was so rushed. Almost 1000 hours and countless playthroughs to witness this

Could be that he died offscreen to the monsters? If he did he should be in the morgue in Vermund and you can revive him with a wakestone and then maybe pass a few days to see if he respawns in that area. I vaguely remember it happening in one of my playthroughs but it was forever ago.

RIP. I also had to redo my first day recently, it sucked at first but then the knowledge that the punishment for death would have been this harsh made me enjoy my time with the game even more. I guess DD2 tricks you because it's relatively chill up until UW, so your guard has been lowered before it turns into permadeath hell

Finished the game.
Someone explain what the heck happened in the ending, especially why the final shot is a certain random ass character getting on a boat.
DD1 ending was bittersweet but it made me feel things. This ending was just weird.
>>
>>2329487
Hoo boy, good luck with that. But the random character is the rivage elder, did you take a long break while playing the game? It's an important character so maybe you forgot about him. And if you simply didn't get his story I can't really blame you, this game is a mess

I recognized the person I just cant recall what his significance was. I guess it provesthe brine isnt there to sink him anymore so the new world is different?
93 hours played but spread across 3 months so I just forgot a few things along the way I guess.
>>
>>2329487
Rivage elder from harve; his story is pretty easy to miss because of how the game is structured. TL;DR he's one of the failed arisen, gone schizo possibly due to having gone against the pathfinder's "story". If you get a game over during the Unmoored World section your arisen ends up in the exact same situation as he does.
I guess the implication is that the pathfinder is deliberately blocking people from exploring the world via the brine so that his cycle doesn't get derailed.

Unmoored World, fighting Bestiary's version of the drake on Volcanic Island, aggressive as fuck but fair, it takes very little damage unless its heart is exposed so timing and positioning are essential. The beast does not relent, it's fast, it uses its tail swipe a lot more often, it tricks you with a double slam. Gobbos and rock lizards join the fight and they don't give a shit about waiting for their turn, so they just jump at you while you're trying to strike the drake's heart, and you have to turn quickly to parry them with your shield, then switch to your mace to send them flying away with a charged attack so that your pawns can finish the job. The drake's heart is still exposed, it lifts into the air to roast you with its flames. There's no time to lose, you must jump and cling onto it or else the fight will take too long. You land a successful gutting skewer on its tail at the last moment, you climb it while it's spamming flames, and start mashing buttons right onto its heart. The winged fucker won't have any of it though, it crushes you into the ground while your sword is still stuck in its chest. You're dead, good thing you were carrying a single wakestone or it would have been game over in UW. The drake doesn't have much health left, but it goes into a rage and starts using its tail swipe while it spits fire at your entire party. Its ground smash attack now causes flames to erupt from the terrain, you must avoid them to get to its heart. One of the explosions throws you into the air, you're almost dead again, it's time to put those Allheal Elixirs to good use now because you can't heal from zero HP anymore and if you die you're fucked. Drake grabs you, one of your pawns casts silence on its hand and you're free, you swing your sword desperately while Gil spams meteoron all around you, a rock lizard's charge is interrupted by an explosion and you watch it fly while the slow-mo from the final blow to the drake kicks in.

I want an expanded pawn quest system in the dlc, just give me something to grind in my favorite game Capcom I beg you. I want figures of mobs and creatures to decorate my house, like those in Zelda Wind Waker but my pawn has to hunt like 100 of each mob. Or throw in a magical camera or whatever and let me send other players some polaroids of cool shots I took with their pawns that they can hang in their apartment. I love pawns and they barely scratched the surface with this

If you're using a custom difficulty preset, I think you might have a better time in NG+ since you will have access to dragonforged equipment sooner. I'm not a fan of some of the changes in Dullahan but the best part about the mod is that you can toggle all of them off if you wish so, keep that in mind in case mystic spearhand doesn't feel as satisfying as before. I also disabled the faster tusk toss charging time for fighter

I remember getting his escort quest early and brought him to the ancient battleground while I was still underleveled, he helped me cheese the fire drake there early because of me spamming Hagol while he was was channeling Decanter (buffed by Dullahan mod to slow by 50%).
Poor bastard basically couldn't move while my pawns were wailing on it and knocking it down while Myrddin was just standing in the back giving it the succ. Was pretty fun.
>>
>>2334945
i played on release with just some "cosmetic" mods (aka shit like making affinity values show up when talking to someone and whatever) and his escort quest was him casting maelstrom on everything and obliterating life bars
>>

hypothetically
would it be more fun to have a single pawn that can learn everything (like DD1/2), multiple specialized pawns but only 1 active you could swap at riftstones, or multiple pawns + multiple slots (i havent played DDON so idk how that works)

If I get this correctly, RE9 was fiscal year 2025, and this year they must be counting mostly on Pragmata and Onimusha to achieve their fiscal goes, possibly the RE9 dlc too. Next year is probably the year of Wilds G, but the game had "soft sales" according to investors so it would probably make sense to ship something major alongside of it.
Why wait so long to tease a DLC? Maybe it was in limbo and they only started working on it recently, so it might take them a while. I hope there will be something at the state of play

>Why wait so long to tease a DLC?
methinks no dlc was ever planned, then Itsuno left and they felt like dropping everything cause MHwilds was about to come out anyway. If a dlc is coming, i think it's both wilds underperforming (if it really did) and people that kept asking for a dlc, hell i've seen steam reviews of crimson desert being like "good game, also i want a dlc for DD2".
Being planned is keyword here, cause dlcs are usually being planned while the main game is being worked on, and this was clearly not the case here. My guess is that they feel like they can just scrounge one up, after all Kinoshita, aka the guy that actually directed dark arisen, is still there, and it's not like a dlc can't be made out of reusing and slightly changing already made assets. Especially if, and i very much hope it's not, it's BBI again
>>
>>2340266
I'll never understand their "marketing". First they acknowledge an abandoned games existence with that shitty 2 year anniversairy pic that seemingly has some sublte hints about stuff not in the main game. Then again that could be just some lazy unused asset reuse. But then for some ungodly reason also make a controller collab for said abandoned game. I'd really like to know what their thinking is there.
>>
>>2340266
>no dlc was ever planned
I doubt so because the loading screens were talking about this region in the north already, can't be a coincidence, right?
Personally I believe they were bullied into freezing their plans because the backlash was insane at launch: the bad performance + microtransactions + disappointing side step direction of the sequel was a brutal combo. We tend to think corpos don't listen to customers but sometimes they do, Capcom was recently bullied into removing Enigma from Resident Evil 4. And it turns out that playing the waiting game was a smart decision because the perception around the game is different now, with people like redditoskr - who accepted Capcom money to review the game as positively as he could and then bashed it into oblivion afterwards, who are now looking forward to more content
>i very much hope it's not BBI again
I have mixed feelings on this but I mostly agree with you, it's just that the base game is so messed up that it's unsalvageable so I'd rather they gave us another BBI unless they have enough resources to make it right
>>
>>2340288
it's MH being their priority number 1, and RE being priority number 2. With both out of the way (or soon to be, is RE9 out?) they can give some space to other shit
>>2340300
>can't be a coincidence, right?
maybe, but it doesn't mean that: planning a DLC (or a game, or a project in general) doesn't mean planning the lore or whatever, it's about "okay it will need x amount of time and be ready by y date"
also i don't believe the rest, even after the supposed "insane backlash" capcom still went and said they now, as in after the game sold 3 million copies, consider dragon's dogma a key franchise. Which plays into the dlc being never planned, cause they just didn't consider it worthy of that before. And then planning started, which means 2 years after is when we're getting hints about it being a possibility, cause planning is also about when's the best time to talk about it, when it will have the most eyes on it
>it's just that the base game is so messed up that it's unsalvageable

I mean the game had a mostly negative score on steam and there was at least one video with a million views that was dunking on it right at launch, if that's not a huge backlash I don't know what qualifies for it. Among the various critiques, most seem to agree that the story goes to hell the moment you're supposed to attend the coronation, I hope that something can be done about it but I don't expect the devs to touch the main progression at all, including UW. That's what I meant that I'd rather they just focused on something that can stand on its own like BBI unless they have enough resources to add a whole new area without making the game feel even more disjointed. Could they pull it off? Sure. Does Capcom want them to? I doubt
>>
>>2340438
the negative score was all for performance, microtransactions and a mix of the two that also had people outright lie about it. They're probably still there, the reviews that said you had to pay 2 real world dollars to change your hairstyle, like the game got hit with people that actually bought the game just to say made up shit about it
>the story
honestly don't see why anyone would care, same with DD1 (or any game really). I'd agree if it comes to management, like how the game funnels you into the endgame when you reach bakbattahl even though there's still half the game waiting by just going back to vermund
>>
>>
>>2340501
They don't like pawns.
It's probably tied to the old king arisen becoming mad and getting rid of everyone around him. Or part of what Phaesussy is doing.
>Yet wandering pawns walk around the markets without a care
>>
>>
I'm a bit disappointed in DD2's modding scene, regarding lewd stuff, there's barely anything because apparently molding armors is very complicated, even just getting the equivalent of DD1's Silk Lingerie meant installing like 5 other mods.
About actualy gameplay mods and balance, it's all practically done by one guy though admittedly his mods are pretty good.
>>
>>
>>2341683
i feel the same way
i got the game on pc hoping for mods and looked through them and its like hey make sure you do 50 other things just so turn this into a thong
like what the fuck, there's 500000x more mods for MH Wilds and theyre easier to install
>>
>>
>>
>>2341955
Yeah, on Nexus, didn't think to look anywhere else like Loverslab since I don't want nude stuff.
>>2343326
I'd say it's too many just for the Silk Lingerie experience and it breaks Beastren fur too.
>reframewok (this is essential anyway, but still, must activate the loose file loader option too)
>mesh mod enabler
>invisible part fixer (this causes Beastren fur to clip through virtually all clothing and armor, and every single Beastren character is affected)
>the dumb looking skimpy Griffin Set mod
Now you can install that one skimpy armor collection to get some thongs in the game, it's a bit much but it is what it is.

Seamless warfarer is broken imo, very fun but that's cheating 100%. As for Dullahan, having rearmament become a core skill feels just right. The mod comes with a lot of tweaks, many buffs and a few nerfs, so it's more balanced even though I still think it messes with the difficulty of the game mostly. But the question is, does it really matter if it's fun? Mystic Spearhand had some broken skill combos in the vanilla game anyway (which Dullahan nerfed btw)
