I will miss the mystic spearhand's god mode bubble, for sure, but as a whole found the class a bit dull. Never mind, shadow step is even more op. Thieves are nuts in this. Wait until you get formless feint.

Stop tempting me with thief! I need to concentrate on archer!

I just thought of try it out as I got some high level gear for it and it's absolutely hilarious you just auto avoid damage with formless feint. It's insane. I also seem to be outputting more damage than when I was Mystic Spearhand despite what I have being 250 or so less damage on Magick and Strength. It's bizarre.

Oh formless feint is what I have. Yeah it’s bonkers. It doesn’t even use that much stamina.
I assume the quest with the blue symbol next to it is the end game?

I did the twisty Medusa, Puss Dragon bit earlier, was ace. Here’s me next to an enormous vagina afterwards:

I think Danno may have abused my Pawn. It said as much.

ALL I SAID was, all I said, right, was maaaaaybe it would be best if someone tested the dragonfire before the people in flammable robes and tunics. Gyras insisted on taking the armour off
I sent him back with the gold beetle like he asked anyway I don't know what his problem is.

I'm still hanging back on this in the hope they are going to deliver on good performance improvements but still loving dipping into this thread for comments from those playing. It largely sounds ace! But I am a little nervous I'm going to find it too challenging! (I tend to play most games on "Easy" difficulty settings now days as I prefer to not burn hours of my shortening over the hill downhill life on high difficulty gaming lol!) I'd try it on medium, or whatever the default is. It's really not a hard game at all. I tried DD1 for the first time after starting DD2 and that's far harder. Easy on DD2 might just feel like autopilot.

I don't think there's a difficulty setting for this game.

Oh yeah! I think there are on the first game though? OK so I should change my advice to 'don't let the idea of difficulty put you off'

It seems I’ve missed out on this elf archer guy. Will go track him down when I’m next in VM. I’m currently thinking I will max out MS, finish the last few levels of thief then go back to archer.
I’ve also accepted that I’m going to miss the sphinx deadline. I can hopefully still do the rest when I’m next up there.

More by luck than judgement it seems I solved a quest the correct way second time around. No one is being thrown out of the village this time \o/

I tempted to make a party entirely of Thieves and see what happens. I have a feeling it might be good.

hicksy As other have said, if you're interested in this game then I wouldn't let difficulty concerns put you off. You can't adjust the difficulty in the usual manner, as Jambo has said, but there are things you can do to make things easier for yourself - for starters, you can hire a couple of high-level pawns for free by adding some of us to your PS/Xbox/Steam friends, which ought to help. Also, if you avoid being out at night (by heading for a town or campsite as soon as dusk falls), you'll avoid some of the game's tougher enemies.

Yeah it’s not hard really. First one is more difficult. Everything feels surmountable and the pawns give you so many combat options it’s easy to get your party OP should you wish.

Can confirm three thieves + 1 wizard is nuts.

Second not letting difficulty put you off. It's far more generous than a lot of games in terms of difficulty. You potentially have an AI healer on hand at all times, another 2 AI distractions to soak up damage or deal huge amounts, as many 'med packs' as you like and you can run away from anything that's proving difficult. Plus very generous autosave. I never played the first one but think this steers more towards easy than hard. It can be obtuse, though.

After 100 hours I am finished (Level 60). Completed all but two missions. Great game, looking forward to DLC. My GOTY so far. May New Game + but unsure as I have combed all the areas and done most missions.
*Edit. Looks like I missed out on an alternate ending. Hmmm...do I play again?

I like how wolves (including the big fuck off horse sized ones) will stop attacking you if you lob a bit of meat on the ground.

Noticed my pawn doing a bit of brief head holding earlier.
Might be time for her to have a bath, just in case.

After a piggy back on The Dragon, had a fight with the him in a crater then, once killed, cutscene of cheering crowds then into the palace with a throne in front. Walked up to it, sat down, got back up and left for the exit. As soon as I got to the doors credits.

Mr Wonderstuff That's the one I got, too! Then I realised that I could reload my previous save (a manual one I'd made right before the False Sovran fight), so I went back and got the bad ending as well. Then I looked up the 'true' ending, loaded my latest save once more, took it from there.

Mr Wonderstuff Are you already in NG+? If not - and if you'll excuse the unsolicited advice - I'd reload your latest save file and get into the end-game that way (unless you'd prefer to play through NG+ first, of course). It's well worth doing the extra steps for the 'true' ending, in my opinion.

I’m rolling in cash right now. Think I have nearly 200k. I’m sure I could spend that on a few items in bakbattahl though.
Just did the eleven archer quest. Can’t believe I missed it before. Was nice to go back to being an archer for a bit. I think that’s where I’ll go back to once I’ve maxed MS and thief.

I'm seeing a lot of Dragons plague infected pawns in the rift. I assume some people just don't know.

Get a couple weapons, any ferrystones you can and hold onto 100k
