Another tip, this game lets you use certain armor/clothing as disguises. So for anyone stuck on the magistrate quest that takes you to the jails, you can buy a set of armor called “Marcher’s Armor” from the potion shop. If you’re wearing that armor in the jails, the guards think you’re one of them and won’t attack. I’m not sure if there are any other uses similar to this yet but it is a cool feature.

[@dumbledank4202]

bro that finally explains it, i got put in jail just before i bought that armor set i literally opened the door with a jail key and walked straight past the same guards who arrested me seconds earlier

Word of advice, your levels are tied to your job, so all the levels you've adquires go to mag-res, if you want to build yourself a bertter character then prioritize changing jobs to a better version as fast as you can and level up with them. Change jobs if you want to boost a dedicated stats, because if you end building a fighter/warrior at the end your strenght stats will be lower than that of your pawns.

there is multiple ways to get yourself across those broken bridges.. a few vocations have dash attacks, (save the game in case you miss) then jump across before you start to fall hit a dash attack and you should make it... you can also use the pawn commands "go" or "to me" to encourage your pawns to jump across, but sometimes they fail, or find another way. (you can also grab them, then throw them across) if you are a magic archer you can throw a pawn off a cliff, shoot them with a revive arrow, then once they are up, if you jump down to them they SHOULD catch you. (again i suggest saving before you jump)

Getting really tired of the people's complaints here, and as soon as you explain to them something, they start to brand you as defending a corporate scum of a company. -The microtransaction items (paid dlc) can be easily obtained in-game JUST LIKE IN THE FIRST GAME, if you actually played thru, you'd learn that. -Optimization as of now is shit, performance is bad, but that's not uncommon for games at launch, and after a few tweaks here and there, you can gain a stable fps thru out your gameplay, even Witcher 3 run like shit back then at first, just wait for the damn patches. -I can understand the new game thing a bit, but for those complaining about wanting to restart the game, seriously? Have you actually finished the game already that you need to restart that immediately? They released the Character Creator, 2 weeks before the launch, that's still not enough time for you to finalize your character? Look, I am in no way defending microtransactions in an already pricey single player game, but the complaints for DD2 are just utterly ridiculous. There's literally no difference between buying those paid dlcs and just playing the game as it is. The developers early on already said they want you to actually explore the map since it's rich with enemy and random encounters. You can find those port crystals in game and place them in an area you want to be able to fast travel to, it's the same as the first game. People just love having something to complain about, I swear.

I’ve played this game through many times now, trying different Arisen/main pawn variations. There are certain quests I’ve simply learned how to avoid because they have no good outcomes or they are just not worth the effort of doing. The Beggars tale is one. I did that once and I avoid it now. Other quests I don’t like but they are unavoidable, like “the jadeite orb” quest. When you get to the Rest town, a Beastran NPC will confront you, and you can’t avoid him or ignore him. You’re forced into this quest and there’s no good ending to it. The only good part about it is, depending on how you decide to finish this quest, you’ll get an elite camping kit from the Beastran.

[@alejandroparra5669]

Dont know if its a good ending or not for the Jadeite quest, but i did the following: Get the ord, create a forgery, give the original to the beastran, give the copy to the other guy, bribe the forgery guy to say it is legit, everyone is happy.

I'm actually playing the first game for the first time right now (came across the info for the second game last month and someone said it might be helpful to play part 1 first for background info), so it's fresh in my mind (had a grab mission literally yesterday). They did say to "catch them" before they left town. In the mission itself, the grab key wasn't specifically mentioned, but a bit earlier in the game they did say you could grab like the big rocks + explosive barrels and mentioned the grab key then. So just a case of putting two and two together (though if you don't pay attention to the tutorial parts, I guess it would be more difficult to figure out then).

Doesn't matter. This game is so CPU heavy it would make no difference.

This game screams forced, rushed release imo. Feels like upper management wanted this out before the end of their fiscal year.

[@joseroa5243]

I wonder if this game also has the level up system. For those who don't know in Dragon Dogma one your class dictated your level up stats (if you're a mage your mag would go up, if you're a warrior your strenght would go up) which is reasonable. However, if you spend your entire first 50 levels as a mage and shift to a warrior your strenght would be subpar, min maxing here is what class to level up until when to make yourself the best version. So you can level up as a warrior at the start and change to an archer to get the strenght buff and have the range option (same with mage and magic archer) Depends of the build but if it's like that then i'd recomend mapping the levels (you can reach level 200) and how you want your stats to go up, and change the adecuated jobs for the better highter ups jobs.

[@Rewighting23]

I've both heard and seen that it does, but to a lesser extent than the first game. Your character's stats have one level, while your vocation and equipment have their own separate stats that adds onto your base stats when they are equipped. Your base stats seems to level up fairly evenly across the board and I've heard that they eventually cap out, meaning everyone will have the same stats after a certain level. While vocation and equipment stats can/will be switched by changing what class you're playing. Assuming they're playing the same vocations, at a certain level all warriors should have the same strength stat regardless of what class they played beforehand. Same with the stats for the other vocations.
