I love how i bought the remaster 2 years ago and got every achievement. Finally convinced a friend to play it and now I’m obsessed with helping to get his pawn a complete bestiary and all quest knowledge. Played for hundreds of hours this game never gets old!

[@sep_vs_theworld]

this is so true. i played the hell out of this game when it first came out. beat it multiple times (never finished BBI though) and now recently started to play again. it really does not get old. you can play multiple play throughs, do random questing, help others pawns (or friends), and on top of that i think the community is some of the best bar none in gaming. the game is just Raw, unbridled, gaming fun. its not perfect. its flawed, but all the flaws dont impede fun, or progress. in-fact i think alot of them make things more interesting. like random glitches, pawn interactions etc. the game is just plain old fun.

[@lethalassassin1754]

@@sep_vs_theworld Only things I would change about this game is just adding more. The entire map they wanted to do, true co op gameplay, more enemy types, more weapons and armor. I love everything about it.

Pro tip for people who want to get the most out of the Gold Idol, make a forgery of it at The Black Cat, and turn in the REAL Gold Idol to Caxton (Or to Madeleine if you want her top tier stuff), and keep your forgery in your party's inventory, it will still trick all vendors into giving you a 30% discount on ALL prices. So now you not only get acces to some top tier gear, but you also can buy it 30% cheaper. Alternatively, if you forgot to make a forgery and already turned in the Gold Idol, you're not completely screwed, there is still a Gold Idol forgery inside Fournival's house, but it's ontop of a bookshelf, and the only way i'm aware of reaching it is to stack a bunch of barrels which is much more difficult that it sounds. Warning, special discount awarding items like bronze/silver/gold idols and others, do not stack. So the higher possible discount that i am aware of is 30% from the Gold Idol, once you have that or the forgery in your party iventory, don't bother carrying around bronze or silver idols since they won't stack.

Considering most of the "awesome" weapons that you get for handing over the gold idol, you have a higher chance of dying violently in Bitterblack and finding a cursed object. Daimon almost seems easier to deal with than her.

[@SenpaiTorpidDOW]

In the beginning you have to say yes to her when she asks if you will obey everything she says (even if you don't wanna start the quest yet). With the hide n seek you have to catch her in a certain time limit so be quick, also if she isn't behind the alehouse she is in the inn behind the fireplace and to the right of the picture on the wall near the chair of knowledge.

[@grahamyodude]

Dragons Dogma is literally my favorite game of all time. I only completed like 1/4th of it too on 360. When I had it on Xbox 360 I sold my 360 to get xbox one and gave the game back to my friend who lent it to me thinking it would be back compatible with Xbox one but it wasn't. Then just a few weeks ago I saw a youtube commercial for DD:DA remastered on xBox one and my heart pounded so hard and I literally jumped out of my chair. Im glad I am able to finally start playing again and hope more people discover this wonderful gem of a game!

[@Iyaname]

You have to sleep in the inn for 3 - 7 times to reset the blacksmith and start selling the weapons.

[@AuthorMorgan7436]

The happiness I got from seeing the idol on the right side of my screen was insane!

[@Doc.0X]

Hello brother, I just started to play, you can tell what kind of set this is

[@jawnTem]

You can get a second Gold Idol by replaying on hard mode. Hard mode, gives better loot & stuff. I usually don't give out the first Idol until I have two then I can give one to both Caxton & Madeleien. Also, def forge a copy at The Black Cat as it gives you buy/sell discounts at all shops. Finally, you can get a free "forged copy" of the Gold Idol prior to the escort quest with Simeon, from a ledge in their dining room upstairs. After the quest, it's no longer there.

[@Jirodyne]

Not just hardmode. The game lets you loop infinitely into NG+, as part of the lore. And each time resets all the quests. So you can redo the quest a second time for a second idol. And if I remember, the shop inventories carry over. So whoever you gave the idol to the first time, still has it in NG+ and can give the new idols to the second shopkeeper this time

@@DsgSleazy I was talking about the interactive combat and the design of the experience overall. Dishonored and Dark Messiah allow you to use the environment with creativity, along with physics, to thwart all opposition (which is something Dragon's Dogma does as well).

Then you'll be officially accepted into the Wyrm Hunt (no temporary license) and a few new characters are introduced, and a metric TON of character development, story beats, and crazily awesome bosses flood in.

Some of the bigger monster fights are awesome. In DA you have more control over your part...this game gives you more options and skill trees for your character.

Few tips Those good weapons are majority for Melee classes (keep that in mind) Second ALWAYS MAKE A Counterfeit Golden Idol to save a lot of money on inventory resource restocking Third keep in mind the second you start farming the Bitterblack Isle (Raid Dungeon) these weapons will become garbage or you will quickly out level the use of them. I personally done it both ways, and tend to keep the Real Golden Idol for myself or the other shop. And give the Armorer the fake one and he still has some "okay" weapons.

It won't start you completely over unless you specifically choose 'New Game' in the main menu. When you beat the game and it saves and sends you to the main menu, just load and it'll put you at the beginning of the game with all previous stats and stuff for NG+.

[@andrewcox9204]

also the fiqurines are awckward, you must give the original copy of the fiqurine but the copy maintains the same skills, but won't affect stores supply, so you only get one per playthrough, so if you get the gold idol in the first and second playthrough, caxton and madeline can both get better supplies, you just need one gold copy for the discount bonus

gold idol gives a few new weapons/amor, and if you never gave armor smith, any idols before, gold basically gives you, everything that bronze and silver gives, plus a few more items, same for Madeline(I think you need to complete Chasing Shadows before Madeline asks you for an idol, after red dragon quest is complete)

Duplicate Gold Idol doesn't work for the quests since it'll bluntly say "Gold Idol Replica". The replica will still have the Idol's passive ability (30% discount at all shops except Black Cat nor Fournival) but if you're playing Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen, don't bother with the golden idol, the moment when you'll have enough money to purchase everything you want, you'll already have stronger weapons awaiting for you elsewhere (to not spoil anything)
