Fallout 3 is my favorite Fallout because it had no emphasis on companions and you are just a Lone Wanderer. But they just seemed like not actual people and idk I guess I didn’t come across much in the way of towns and it felt kinda flat and bland - I think I read the pawns talk now which might help along with the obvious visual boost.

Bacon Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Well, Pawns kinda talk to you in the first game. "Wolves hunt in packs, Arisen." "Is this your home, Arisen?" But, yeah, you can't talk to them like they are companions. Always a let down you can't fuck your created pawn. Pawns would make the perfect sex dolls. But also 3 minutes ago, stepee said: But they just seemed like not actual people That's cuz they aren't Quote Pawns, sometimes referred to as Myrmidons, are denizens of the Rift; lacking emotion and a true will of their own, they follow the Arisen, one who has been chosen by The Dragon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are "soulless" but aren't entirely devoid of personality and can do some things independently, but will 100% obey and aid their creator as best they can. Them being soulless is somewhat important to the plot of the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaethos Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The parallel world is kind of strange, since the first game made it very clear that you were just exploring one small country in a much larger world. Especially since it seems like all of the characters and everything are different from the first game. That said, I'm all in for this game.

Bacon Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Capped at 30fps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Unlikely. The original game supports arbitrary framerates and Capcom don't do 30 FPS hard caps. They're the one dev I never worry about this kind of thing with. They almost always get it right in a way many other devs don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Looks beautiful visually. Combat has weight to it but it looked a bit clunky. I don't want to spoil this but the first 5 minutes is pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Dragon’s Dogma 2: The Final Preview - IGN First - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Dragon's Dogma 2 doubles down on everything that was great about the first game, and is complete with bold design choices that made for an unforgettable experience after 10 hours of gameplay. Our full preview. Quote I thought it’d just be a simple sidequest. The owner of an apothecary enlisted my help to find his lost grandson, who had been taken by wolves. As I followed the trail, I heard a screeching noise from up above. All of a sudden I’m in a battle for my life against a Griffin. It’s a monster that’s far too strong for my party to handle, but we fight and claw and hold our ground until we finally get it to retreat. I breathe a sigh of relief, then set up at the nearby camp and sleep till nightfall. That sleep is interrupted by the same Griffin, back for revenge. That fight somehow boils over into another battle with a Wight, who proceeds to beat me within an inch of my life before I finally take him out, just as the sun rises, after an epic 20-minute battle. None of this was part of the actual quest involving saving the boy. It was just a series of events that cascaded into one of the most unforgettable encounters I’ve had in an open-world action-RPG. And it was just one of the incredible encounters that I experienced during the 10 hours that I spent adventuring through Dragon’s Dogma 2’s fantastic open world. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that the game is so demanding, and maybe even using their DMR baked in to tank performance even more that if you’re not on a 3080 or better do not expect anything above 30fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I gotta say, I'm not super interested in this. I'm not getting at launch. Partly because I don't have a method of playing reliably at 60 fps. Kinda miffed that consoles still can't hit 60. Not all too interested in high-fidelity graphics if it can't run at 60fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaethos Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I was kind of annoyed that they broke bows and daggers apart, but now it looks like you'll be able to have two vocations at the same time, letting you mix and match. That looks really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
