SRWK - Okay, so Dann of Thursday is a motherfucking badass.

DQ4

Kicking ass and taking names.

My party is Solo, Ryan, Alena, and Meena...

Meena is just there for heals, but does anyone know where I can get her a decent weapon? She has had the magma staff for awhile now, but the damage is lacking.

I'm about 22 hours in @ lv 35 now. My title has now become Roundabout Rover!

CTDS: After asking around in chat earlier for a little help, I went and cleared the formerly haunted mansion, now the Hero's Grave. Powered up Masamune get! Moonbeam Armour get! Valkyrie's Bow get!
So, which one next? Dungeon under the desert was a close call last time, so might try that one, while the Devil's Claw or whatever it was called was FREAKING EVIL and so I think I'll give that a miss for now. And, who knows, maybe the Mega Mutant won't tear me a new arsehole next time?

Meeplelard · « **Reply #303 on:** January 18, 2010, 04:18:44 PM »

If Devil's Claw is what the Black Omen is? That's effectively the final dungeon. Yeah, its optional due to the nature of CT's 2nd half, but its by far the longest dungeon in the game, complete with at least 4 bosses along the way, plays directly into the game's main plot (rather than an arbitrary side quest that, at most, is relevant to a single character), and has by far the toughest enemies in the game. Believe Gaspar doesn't even talk about it like any other Fated Hour quest, but rather, only mentions it saying "its connected to Lavos!"

Oh yeah, the clincher to all this is that as soon as the dungeon is done, you're shoved right in front of Lavos himself, I don't think with any choice either (mind you, once the first stage is beaten, you can actually pull out. Beating the outer shell is NOT a point of no return, odd as that sounds for a Final Boss.)

So yeah, hold off on that dungeon til last cause its very clearly meant to be done last. Also, be sure to have Magus in it for the last few fights, if purely for stylistic reasons (not only some extra dialog, but it actually goes so far as to change the music of one fight too.)

Yoshiken · « **Reply #304 on:** January 18, 2010, 04:25:15 PM »

Black Omen isn't Devil's Claw. Devil's Claw is... where the Rainbow Shell is. I entered Black Omen, got torn to shreds by the Mega Mutant and left to do sidequests to level/gain equipment. Did Robo's, beat Ozzie again, and then did Frog's one earlier. Not too sure what I'm doing now, outside of training to beat the other two I mentioned.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #305 on:** January 18, 2010, 04:33:20 PM »

Oh, I assumed Devil's Claw was Black Omen cause you said it was hard. I seriously remember Devil's claw (originally Giant's Claw, probably No asstard censorship kicking in) being fairly routine Dinosaur Dungeon (eg have Lightning = Win.)

Cotigo · « **Reply #306 on:** January 18, 2010, 06:42:14 PM »

Torchlight - Yeah it's Diablo. Alchemist with Chain Lightning whatever and lots of armor. All his other spells suck though. Maybe I need to put more levels in them. What a novel idea.

Trine - Played it a little more, it still sucks. I realize now what really irked me about the game - most of it is solving physics puzzles, and the actual movement of objects is slow and insanely bulky. This wouldn't really be a problem, except you have a very limited supply of mana for the one character that can reasonably move objects around, and the controls are so loose that you can use up all your mana trying to get a piece in the exact spot you need it, and not be able to solve the next step of the puzzle. Oh well, done with it I suppose.

KotOR 2 - About to get off the mining freighter. Going Guardian/Weapons Master light side. Unfortunately, this means I get no skill points whatsoever so talking myself out of every situation will be hard until I get mind control. Good thing battles are way easier when you have 18 strength and 15 con.

The game is... surprisingly buggy. The audio glitches out frequently, and often I'll move to open a container, watch the opening animation, and then have to open it again because buggy game is buggy. Other than that, I'm used to the PC controls so it is hard as hell to adjust to the much more awkward XBox controls.

Quick question: I heard that for the PC version of the game there was a patch in the works to restore the lost content. Is there a similar one to fix the bugs? Perhaps the game isn't as buggy as I suspect, but if it is, it would be nice to just pick up the PC version and play it sans bugs.

Other than that I am enjoying the game but progress is slow because I have to go to the neighbors' to play, and that requires them being home. Really tempted to just get it for my PC if I can but if not this situation will have to do.

SRWK - FUCK, I screwed up and picked GxS route. Goodbye, Legend Gundam. =| May as well start on the retardedly byzantine reqs for the Fafnir secrets, though.

Shale · « **Reply #308 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:17:57 PM »

Just go for Blade Gainer. It's simple and makes things explode.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #309 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:19:33 PM »

But I think I already screwed up with Blade Gainer as well. =(

Shale · « **Reply #310 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:20:56 PM »

But you managed not to screw up Fafner yet? Impressive.

hinode · « **Reply #311 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:40:40 PM »

Blade Gainer reqs don't start until stage 15B-2. If you're past that, then you can't get the Fafner secret either.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #312 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:42:09 PM »

Okay, so I screwed up neither.

On the other hand, are the GxS secrets and the Blade Gainer mutually exclusive?

EDIT: Also, on SRWK-related nonsense, I caved in and started upgrading the Rainbow Jerk. hinode's Kotona hype mind control rays at work here, people. Well, that and evasive, mobile healer with salvageable offense is something I definitely can get behind.

Shale · « **Reply #313 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:45:43 PM »

Nope.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #314 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:47:55 PM »

Excellence. I guess I'll just go for Blade Gainer instead.

Tangentially: wtf jesus yamato

hinode · « **Reply #315 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:49:35 PM »

GxS is only mutually exclusive with the absurd-on-first-playthrough Zoids secret and (first playthrough, at minimum) the Fafner secret.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #316 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:50:29 PM »

CTDS: After talking to people in chat, I discovered my major problem - I hadn't gone and got Crono back. Whoops.
Done that now, then beat the Giant's Claw, got Prism Helms and am now doing the desert dungeon for the woman who wants to grow trees. According to Gaspar, the only sidequest I'm yet to do is the Sun Stone, which is just a case of figuring out where it is. Yay~

The restoration mod also contains a bunch of bugfixes. It doesn't get everything but it gets the really major/annoying stuff.

Do Kotona and Remii still get upgrades if you don't do Bio-Ptera?

hinode · « **Reply #319 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:52:50 PM »

Those are automatic, yes. All the Zoids upgrades are.

Shale · « **Reply #320 on:** January 18, 2010, 08:55:28 PM »

The real tragedy is that Blade Gainer is exclusive against the Gaiking the Great theme (on a first play).

Sierra · « **Reply #321 on:** January 18, 2010, 09:00:09 PM »

TO: Muscled through to the last floor. In sum:

Floor 27: Cake. There's an enemy here that gives you 90,000 skill points each. Sometimes they come in groups of three. Yeah, this is where any grinding will occur for the forseeable future. Boss is also hilarious.

Floor 28: Fuck off.

Floor 29: Less annoying, though it's mildly enraging that once I'd finally got people consistently faster than those initiative-spamming strategist fuckers the game throws a faster version at me. Argh. At least there are no longer tengu here. Again, fuck you 28F.

Floor 30: So. Every fight here is a beefed-up version of a boss elsewhere in the game. Several of them obliterate the team before I can move. Cue stupidly massive amount of grinding. Not finishing this for a while, I'd guess.

It's already out, actually. It's called "TSL Restored Content mod." Download it, but keep in mind it makes certain parts of the game (Nar Shaddaa, mostly) a fuckton harder.

Harder, but not hard - KOTOR 2 without that patch is a serious contender for easiest RPG ever made.

You don't get your main character for these new sections which is the biggest hitch, but T3-M4 and HK-47 can be really good in 2 and you always get at least one of them, so make sure to build them decently and you're fine.

That's what boned me, hadn't adequately outfitted either of them.
