Just finished the
Bergen
fully. Kept checking in on my bro, and I came out with a lifelong friend and an amazing Warrior sword. So fucking good. So satisfying.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite games of all time. And yes, it's starting to knock DD1 down on the list.

Thank you! I was gonna say, if you're my steam friend, please give Fiametta some work!

I used your pawn for a number of days too. Unfortunately she died a ridiculous death and I couldn't reward her. She shall enter my ranks again soon!

What is with the lines on this? Are people photographing their screen like boomers?

Wait, you're playing on a console, aren't you? Lmao.

I noticed that when I die and reload the game my max HP is set to the level it was before I died and not when I saved. Bug or intentional to prevent save scumming?

Walking from destination A to B for side quests never got boring in these hours, and I also did not feel the need to use a Ferrystone or use the fast travel service, since the sheer randomness of the open world just feels wonderful. You fight bosses on the way, you find randomly generated NPC quest givers which reward you with gold, or you meet other players pawns which can also give you quests that players created with even better rewards if you are lucky. It's an incredible system.
The idea of writing a paragraph like this is inconceivable to me. It sounds like you're describing the most banal procgen MMO-tier garbage conceivable and then saying "thank you, sir, may I have another?"
These static open-world maps in singleplayer games got so boring after years of Fortnite pushing the genre forward.

I think that's intentional but cannot confirm. The whole design philosophy of the game seems to be "nothing can be undone" so I assume intentional.

At least I'm the only one with enough balls to show off my character. I'm well aware I have the sexiest Arisen. I almost wish she was my pawn instead. I'd have about 100,000,000 rift crystals by now.

Making screenshots is an ancient tech lost decades ago. Zoomers just don't know how to do it. :rage:
Reminder H. P. Lovecraft's Cat couldn't even install Fallout on Steam Deck.
SumDrunkGuy knows how to take screenshots on his PS5. He just can't do anything with them easily because he doesn't have a computer to transfer them to with a flash drive. Might be able to upload to an image host with the console's built-in browser.

Pretty sure God of War was on PC. I'm talking about Codex GOTY, aka the only one that matters.
Didn't realize you were talking about Codex GOTY in which case DD2 has an even lower chance of winning because it's a japanese game :M
Dragon's Dogma won Codex GotY 2016, Elden Ring won Codex GotY 2022, and Dragon's Dogma II will win Codex GotY 2024. +M

lol at the retard rating I got from who could only be fork. Can't wait until he plays this and realizes how wrong he's been. What a sad little man. Might even un-ignore him to chart the coming progress.
Bro you are giving fork way too much credit. Even if his parents decide to buy him the game he would still be too stupid to play it.

I'm 12 hours in, reached level 19, loving the shit out of this game. Had a quest to save an NPC and failed to save him, and it felt 'right'. Where other games might have slapped the player with a QUEST FAILED pop-up, this was just another way to complete the quest.
Loved that shit in Kingdom Come. Quests don't succeed or fail, there are just different ways of finishing them.
Yes and that's a very apt comparison because I get a lot of KCD vibes when playing this game, even down to the music which I think is a little underrated
