In case someone's curious about the progress of my double sorc only playthrough, I just made it into post game last night. Grigori wasn't a problem (double high gicel LOL). Fighting hellhounds and succubi was very challenging, had to tweak the spell slots. Frazil finally comes into play, and comestion and maelstrom become useless. Evil eye was terrifyingly hard at lvl 60, melee and every spell does no damage. Had to rely solely on holy affinity and shooting the laser beams.

Metal golems still cannot be beaten. The only spell that works at this level is bolide, but casting that in that tiny river is next to impossible, and even then I need to rely solely on luck to get a hit.

Wait, how do you activate the demo at all? I bought it on Amazon but didn't get any code for it for PS3. Did you guys get a code?

Got a question, what happens to my pawn when I start a new game? Do I have to make a new one?

I like warrior but the class is bad against Ur-Dragon. Really hate having to jump and swing at his wings because you can't climb it. They need to fix this class in the next DD game or an expansion. The next class I want to see is a dual wielding sword class. I hate daggers, lol.

I think the RE6 demo was a 360 bonus. You don't have to make your pawn again.

You can climb the dragon just as easily if you take the appropriate strider augments.

I mean, how do you even get RE6 demo onto the 360? The ps3 version had a sticker that says RE6 demo but I'm not even sure how i'll get it when the time comes.

And i'm 100% sure you can't latch onto his wings. Tried so many times and even tried climbing, it wouldn't let me go out far.

The 360 gave us a code which lets us download a token. It's supposed to remind us the demo is available when it comes.

Oh yeah as for the wings there really isn't much you can do. Fighter has the same problem I guess.

360 demo of RE6 is coming out this Tuesday, PS3 version around September (MS exclusivity deal, I think).

The download code should be in the back of your manual. You also need the game disc in order to activate the demo.

For an open world game with customizable characters, I think I'm quite happy with the modelling and how they look, the animated hair and capes are so awesome, too bad for all the god damn clipping!

I'm a bit confused by this game. I like it a lot but there are things I just don't understand, like the quest to search Quina, the girl who wants to save the main character (I quess it's a boy if your main char is a girl?). She's supposed to be in Witchwood and you take the quest in Cassardis the first time you come back in the village. The problem is if I try to reach Witchwood to go search for her it seems like I have to go for a road with an unbeatable enemy (I managed to kill all his scoundrels but he can 1HKO every member of my party at lv 10). So I thought it was too early to go for that quest, I continued with the quest to escort a carriage with the hydra head to the main city. Once I got there I took a quest in the pawn guild where I had to go in some kind of dungeon under the city. Managed to escape from the dungeon (and I ended up discovering that was actually what I was supposed to do, just escaping from the tentacular boss), and I got a message from a guard telling me the duke accepted me as a wyrm hunter and suddenly the quest to search for Quina authomatically got cancelled. What did I do wrong? :/

Certain npc quests open and close after certain main story mission, if you take that into consideration, the quest structure is actually kind of straight forward and linear, so for the Quina quest, you were suppose to do it before the pawn guild quest.

Board quests don't get cancelled so you could just pick them all up, keep checking as they usually add new ones often so you could do them while you're in the area along with the important quests.

The best thing about Dragon's Dogma is you can have relations with anyone regardless of their role, class, or social standing and/or gender.

Ok I understand this, I just don't get how I could do the quest at that level with an unbeatable foe barring the way (I managed to take like 1/20 of his life before my party was wiped)

You can outrun most enemies in this game, they eventualy run back to their spawn point. That could have been a solution I guess. Not a fun one, though. I know which guy you are talking about, I had to kite it for a while haha.

Probably your gears and levels, you get a few levels just traveling to gran soren, I know some having trouble doing it right away before that, and you could buy better gears at the shop.

Pretty much an open world action rpg, it took a lot of ideas from other wrpgs and capcom's own action games, while doing a few unique things of its own. So you will probably find similarities on the moveset from games like dmc and some elements on spells from other wrpgs

Yeah but it doesn't really show you what the game has to offer in terms of the open world. It does however give you a taste of the combat mechanics in the game, which are pretty excellent and the reason why I think this is the best open world RPG out there.

You can also customize your character and pawn in the demo and it'll carry over to the main game.

This is what I'm mostly interested in, so if that's what the demo does, it will either sell me or not. Thanks!

LOL, the ogres were quite annoying, not because they were hard but because the goblins atop the hills were launching fireballs at me during the fight.

Bluemoon Tower
Shadowfort
Greatwall
Cassardis
Waycastle
Witchwood

Is where I put my Portcrystals in NG++. Good for speed runs too. I think when I did this, I completed the main quest in like 2 and a half hours. It's also a good way to get the exclusive class-specific weapons from the Red Dragon.

I totally just went through that area too. I'm on NG+ and trying to fill in my map for areas I never went in my first playthrough. There's apparently two "dungeons" I never entered at all, judging from trophies (the canyon and the manse?). I know where both are, but can't enter the manse yet (story state restricted, probably, haven't started wyrm hunt yet). Haven't tried the canyon...

Probably save file corrupted. I had it and it does warn you, but if you just press A or X and didn't read the messages it goes on and start a new game

The structure of the guidebook isn't very good (it's arranged by location), and it completely drops the ball on certain things. For example there's no information on the contents of chests in most of the open areas, some of which have very good drops. There's also no information on drops from certain harvestable points, some of which also have good drops.

The information on bestiary, items, the post game dungeon chests (the maps are still kind of shit), merchants and certain in game mechanics not taught anywhere else in the game are good though.
