Dragon's Dogma Official Playthrough Thread

I'd like an arena feature. I suppose the Everfall chambers serve the same function, but it'd be cool to be able to call up a more customized epic fight. Why yes, I would like to try fighting 4 cyclops at once!

Oh ya. That would rock. Also DLC threats for this or its sequel would rock. Somekind of posting on a bulletin board about a new danger. Then you go out and tackle it. Special mutated Ogre's and so forth. That would rock.

PS3 Ur-Dragon grace period up.

[Widgetcraft]

Looks like I won't be getting this one due to this fucking forced system update taking forever.

EDIT: Yep, I missed it. Thanks Sony.

[Xydarc]

Shayne's equipment has been updated with dragonforged Abyssinal armor.

And I didn't grace camp today, I actually fought that bastard for a good hour. He's a tough one for Sorcs, the best I could do was keep Holy Affinity up as best I could and play bait.

I should bother to finish the game, if I ever get bloody time. How far am I? I just killed the griffin and got the Portcrystal.

[Reverant]

Nobody wanted Carl Kassell, and now nobody wants Peter Dinklage. That's it. I'm done being clever. I'm going to either make an oversexualized woman or a hulking man.

You are real close to the end.

[Reverant]

I ostensibly despise the theme song, but I secretly like it.

I like it, but I think it's definitely an acquired taste. The auto-aim can be a pain when you want to focus on individual enemy parts, and I miss my poison arrows, but the elemental attacks on your daggers make up for it.

If you're like me and need a bow at all times it's worth a go.

[Reverant]

Some of the notice board quests must be a pain in the ass without a bow, like the ones for killing rabbits or crows.

Not for Mage/Sorc. Staves have auto-target, especially with the Holy buff.

[Karak]

Mystic Knight also rocks those quests.

Don't forget to mention that the triple arrow shot from Striders become triple damage to a single target, and has the ability to lock on to 10 targets for normal damage. I do feel that the magic arrows are a bit weak in terms of damage still.

I'm sure this has already been said numerous times in this thread but this game truly is incredible. From the incredibly detailed enemy animations and behaviors to the insane variety of items which all seem to have multiple uses this game continues to consistently surprise me with it's attention to detail and the combat just keeps getting better and better.

I know it has it's quirks and a few polish issues here and there but at about 50 hours in this game is putting all other open world RPGs to shame... That's including PC games. Of course the true test will be how I feel about this game at the 150+ hour mark.

It really is a shame there is no PC version, hopefully this will be remedied with the sequel.

That stuff doesn't update by default does it, do I have to go in out of the rift? I'm still using him He's very useful.

Yeah, you gotta rift them and then get them again. Luckily, it costs nothing if they're on your friend list.

No no! I am using P Dinklage in my game right now with Sog-sot-son! I will release and renew him today when I get home. He's been a good heavy addition to my goblin/wolf extermination force!

Easily one of the top 5 in my games of this generation. Easily.

[Shjinta]

I bought it and put like 20 minutes into it. Gah I wish I felt like playing console games. I want to experience the badassness of this game.
