Everyone gets this fail to some extent. Nice to hear about other people suffering the same fate.
At absolute least you realized that he's out of your league, even if it was too late. I had a friend keep trying to kill that thing thinking that he was supposed to be able to bring it down early in the game for hours. He stopped playing for weeks afterward.
... That shouldn't be happening. I'm getting 1440P 60 FPS solid on my 970 AMD FX 8320 combo(both overclocked, mind you).
Igh, messing with the carry weight limits messes up the metagame, big time. They are part of the core mechanics of the game and they are supposed to be a factor in your approach to how you play the game.
I mean, do as you like, but my recommendation is a strong vote for keeping that shit as it is.

someone needs to mod in the ability for any class to roll asap. I tried to look at the files to see if i could mod anything...I was completely lost lol.
Miasma has a really high dps if you can get him to stay in one spot, lightning spells to stagger him and grapnel to prent a lot of damage from coming out while doing damage.
If you're on hard mode just stick with grapnel.
i sold the ones Im not using so about half. I didnt see anything that sold for that much tho
I've got a [email protected] and a 970. Running at 1440p with HBAO+ and I haven't seen it go below 60. Most of the time much higher as I run uncapped on a 120hz.
I would usually agree, and it's the reason I don't want to mod the stamina, but the weight limit is only a big balance factor in theory. What actually happens is that you give all your shit to your pawn to carry so you can be Very Light, and then, even if your pawn is too heavy to run, he'll teleport close to you every now and then and it won't be a problem.

Any tips for mages? Kinda feel useless right now at the beginning. I can easily kill goblins and wolves, but when there are human enemies, my spells dont really do much.

You are gonna need those mushrooms and liquid vim on hand, because that thing is powered on wheaties. It's dope as fuck, edit: correction it's iframes, high damage, and awesome animation with a wind effect.
SSD as well, load times are so fast I can't read the loadscreen tips.
My roommate has an even better machine than me (4790k/980) and I think he's got the game on an SSD too. But he was getting super long loadtimes last night.
noticing this too. Keeps dropping down back to 1080.

Dudes:
- The game pauses while you're in your inventory
- Healing items can be used from your inventory
- Healing items are instant
- Healing items are cheap
- You can buy infinite healing items
Messing with your carrying capacity is essentially fucking any semblance of difficulty the game has. Without a weight limit you can start the game, sell your DLC items, buy a shitload of health items and fire bombs, go to the expansion island and skip 90% of the game's progression.
It's your game and your time, but you're going to kick yourself once you realize how your inventory limit was a key part of game's balance.

Load times are super short. Are you using ENB? People say that makes the game take ages to load.
No, it loads pretty fast on my normal HDD. Although I have yet to rest at an inn at 4 hours in. I hear that takes some time due to syncing with pawns.
It is if you're using ENB
But that's exactly what I did when I first played Dark Arisen on PS3. I think you guys are really overestimating how important the weight limit is, unless it gets much more important later into the game. But as far as I played on PS3, it was just a matter of giving my shit for my pawn to carry.
Yeah gonna stock up on those the next time I'm in town, the move is so friggin worth it.

So Steam says I've been playing for 9 hours today. Well. It _is_ 1am now.
After having fun creating my character, and finding her weird afterwards, I kinda like her now. Also my pawn is boss.
Thanks for hyping me into buying this GAF, so far it's a fantastic game.

The overclock for sure. These CPUs are still beastly if you push them.
My i52500k is currently at stock. I'm 1080/Max and sitting at 55-60 with dips to high 40s occasionally. Almost always get a 60 lock in this situation when I boost it.
Should really do that...

managed to return to the capital without teleport..meanwhile looted empty a cave and got a ton of loot..a weapon that's obviously way overpowered for the enemies i fight atm and some good armor
the looting part seems atm to be the better part fo this game..since the combat really hasn't evolved much from a button smasher atm,and there are way less enemy types than i thought..i know it's the beginning. there are probably less than ten types of foes for now..

Just a tip for a side quest in the game. I only bring this up because I just screwed it up, haha!
Spoilers, obviously:
Edit: Actually, I think this is a main quest.
Spoilers, obviously:
There's this one quest where Fournival is on trial and you can gather evidence that proves him innocent or guilty. Your choice. You should gather the evidence that shows him innocent, because the items he sells are really, really helpful for the Bitterblack Isle expansion, and post game.
Edit: Actually, I think this is a main quest.
Thanks for the tip guys, wasn't using ENB but disabling GeDoSaTo sped up the load a good bit.
Another question since i'll be playing without it for now; i have my TV running 'overclocked' at 100Hz and the game starts at 60, was using GDST to force the issue, any easy alternative (nVidia, prefer maximum refresh doesn't do the trick, 100hz isn't available in the options menu)?

I don't think I'll be able to wait to buy this. Does DLGamer offer the best deal right now (out of the authorized vendors) at $23.99?
EDIT: Too late.
EDIT: Too late.
Yeah, pretty much. If you really wanna try a hard mode version of the game, get the regeneration augment and don't use curatives. True Dark Souls starts there.
Do some inventory management. You get used to it pretty quickly and it's also important to learn that your pawns are also perfectly willing to carry all your crap for you.
Started a fresh game from scratch on hard and my god...

I understand the arguments against modding the weight system out, but constantly having to transfer things to my pawn is just so tedious. it's not like I'm picking up less, it's just that every ten minutes or so I am transferring everything over to my pawn who barely even cares about it
The weight system isn't changing how I play, it's just increasing the time I spend in menus

yeah I tried that, I lasted roughly 10 seconds.
This doesn't make any sense: you are assuming people can't exercise self-restraint; just because they could stock up on a crapload of healing items doesn't mean they are going to. That and it also ignores the fact that you can already carry a crapload of healing items even with the normal carrying capacity.
I felt the same way. You could be a bit more aggressive than what I saw in that video.
Exactly.
If it was equip load, like in Dark Souls? No way in hell I'd mod that. But I would mod item load out of Demon's if I could. It's dumb.

Played for five minutes, had to go, turned it off, then came back later and started it up. My FPS are tanking. I have a shitty FX4300, but none of the options I select are making a difference.
My CPU is going wild too, even though it wasn't before.
So this is truly what hell looks like.

Yea, try that on hard, and you aint getting no where.
Item Management just isn't a mechanic I enjoy. What i want to do in Dragon's Dogma is run around, climb on a cyclops and stab him in the eye repeatedly. I do not want to worry about giving my items to my main pawn because I'm overloaded only to then figure out which items I want to have back when I'm back in Grand Soren. I don't enjoy fiddling around in menus - in fact I want to spend as little time as possible in menus.
Does the game get easier by modding out the weight limit? Kinda! Do I have a lot more fun that way? Definitely.

I just ran from another zombie dragon. If I had no weight limits I'd go to town, spend a few million on the big heal/stamina potions, go back and just off the dragon on consumables alone. As it is I can't carry enough stamina consumables with my current damage output to stay on him indefinitely. Pawns are irrelevant, they get insta killed by most dragons anyway. You can't transfer items off downed pawns. Being able to carry infinite items myself breaks the game.
Like I said: people can do what they want, but to say it isn't going to make the game a breeze is naive.

I'm enjoying the game but feeling a little overwhelmed.
I'm at gran soren now, spoke with some people and got a lot of quests, I guess main progress comes from doing stuff around?
Also about the classes, I just changed my strider in an assassin, is it too soon? I don't understand the thing about "core skills", when do I get them?
And for last, should I just buy new gear or upgrade it too? I feel like a waste of resources if I can get new and better gear
