If nothing else, this game has left me with the impression that stuff I've gone through backwards and forwards was too easy compared to Dragon's Dogma. Dragon Age: Origins, the Awakening expansion, Dragon Age 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur were nowhere near as difficult to play as this game. I like the fact that its harder, but the way Dogma does boss fights seems a bit harsh if - like me - you just wanna experience the story. I am beginning to see myself throwing in the towel before I get to the end. There is no such thing as an easy mode in this game.
Can't imagine how a hard mode would be, since this game is challenging enough as is. The online community seems pretty disconnected or unattached, and that's too bad.
I've just started playing DD recently, but it's my understanding that after you beat the dragon you must initiate NG+ via LOAD GAME,not New Game. Maybe that's what you inadvertently did? Any high end or ranked gamers who have spare or extra gear from later in the game, and who are willing to share with a newbie - please let me know. I play more for the story, and am finding that the tougher and extended boss fights work against a player like me. Here is a list of items that I would like to get if possible: Abyssinal Armor Set, Abyssinal Outfit, Animistic Robe, Asura Armor, Bandit Stalkers, Barbarian Chiefs Helm, Iron Bandings, Lordly Cloak, Lupine Veil, Red Dragon Scale, Red Leather Armor, Scale Coat, Silver Vest, Berserkin, Flame Skirt, Maidens Camisole, Maidens Petticoat, Noblewomans Corset, Silk Lingerie, Sultry Cowl, Sultry Pareo, Summery Cowl, Summery Pareo and White Stockings.
I'm, gonna try again! Hoping that by specifying some of the in-game stuff that I would like to incorporate into a DD playthrough, that the right gamer (who's willing) will help me out. If anybody has any of the following items "dragonforged" to spare, please contact me and we'll make some arrangements: Abyssinal Armor Set Abyssinal Outfit Adventurers Cloak Animistic Robe Asura Armor Bandit Stalkers Barbarian Chiefs Helm Chestguard Direwolf Cape Hide Armor Horned Helm Iron Bandings Leather Belts Leather Circlet Lordly Cloak Lupine Veil Red Dragon Scale Red Leather Armor Riveted Coat Scale Coat Silver Vest Skull Belts I would also really like to get some of the hard to find female armor items: Berserkin Flame Skirt Frame Plate Ladys Corset Maidens Camisole Maidens Petticoat Noblewomans Corset Silk Lingerie Sultry Cowl Sultry Pareo Summery Cowl Summery Pareo White Stockings Thanks in advance for any consideration!
The female options do look great for the most part, but I've created a couple of male characters that I think are spectacular. One is a male elf Strider, who ended up looking an awful lot like the late actor Roddy McDowall. He played Cornelius in the original "Planet of the Apes", and he had a long-running film career from a very young age. Another is a very cool looking male dwarf, currently a Mystic Knight. Taking the time to tweak every possible aspect of your male characters allows you to easily craft a male Arisen to suit you, in my humble opinion this game has the best character creator options that I've seen.
I just bought Dragon's Dogma the week before Halloween. I've previously played through games like Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Awakening, Dragon age 2, and Kingdoms of Amalur seven ways from Sunday, up one side and down the other, or backwards and forwards more times than I can count. I've gotta say that this more open world game is more challenging to me than the others that I listed. I find that to be interesting, exciting and frustrating all at the same time. I can really appreciate that battles against monsters requires more effort in this game, but since I primarily play games like this to enjoy the overall lore and story, I'm finding that tougher going to be a distraction. Maybe that sounds weird, but I noticed a few early threads - as I registered here - where some of you offered to provide extra gear or items to newbies that might be interested. So, here is a shout to the magnanimous among you. If you're of a mind to give stuff, share stuff, or friend high level pawns; just let me know what is required and thanks in advance for taking the time to read this message. Onward to battle!!
