Okay... I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I found the laziest way to go up in ranking. In post-game, go to the noble quarters and stand on top of the fence the surrounds the church. Get up and go do some housework... come back when done and voila, you've maxed out your vocation >.>

Works especially well with a sorcerer who continuously casts maelstrom and gicel... for some reason the guards ignore him and go after the two archers....

[happy_daiz]

Yeah, Carcharoth tipped us off on that a while back, but the newer players will appreciate the advice, I'm sure! 

Whenever I did it, I always had to jiggle the controller once in a while, or it would turn off, and the game would pause. Must be a setting somewhere...

It feels almost... unethical lol Like I half expect the screen to freeze and a message from Capcom to appear telling me I'm a bad, bad player lol

The pawns are being such smug bastards, too. Half the time Seel starts gearing up maelstrom, then he's like, f*ck it, and just pew pew's the guy with his staff lol Shinon is shouting, "What else would you expect with ME around?!" Pretty much the only one not being a twerp is dear Thomas lol

...Who, FYI, ran off with Seel earlier in the game. I watched as Shinon sprinted delightfully forward to open yet another chest and realized... we were alone. It took several seconds for Seel and Thomas to come lightly jogging back into the room.

I think Thomas is trying to start a pawn revolt.

So here finally is a pic of my second Arisen, Rohan I snapped some shots of him while on a date with his honey, Valmiro. (Hopefully Valmiro never learns that there is a hot but very boring knight hanging out at Rohan's house....)







As you can see, Seel chaperoned the event and tried to stay as far away as possible to give them privacy. Not that that was necessary because all Valmiro talked about was how he wanted to travel, see the world, collect specimens, blah blah blah. Rohan was too busy wondering why Valmiro calls him "cousin"... are they related? If so, is that legal? And is it okay if he thinks it's kind of kinky?

[CuriousArtemis]

Rohan: All right, that's it. Less yappy, more slappy.
Seel: Master, wait!
Rohan: You're not invited. Better yet, go distract Ser Max for me, will you? He likes quills, do something with quills.

Sorry, what I heard was Seel without pants and slap 'em on him.

I'm very tired...

[CuriousArtemis]

Hmm, well Seel says he is okay with pants-less slapping if Val is doing the slapping

He's terrible, I know >.<

I'm tired, too. I should go to bed. But it's Saturday.... Ever since I started working full time, the weekends have become so golden.

[CuriousArtemis]

Okay, I'm frustrated. I've tried forever to complete "Hope Springs Infernal." I let the stupid bat things drink my blood, then kill them, but they won't drop the dang bloodred crystal. So... if anyone out there has just one bloodred crystal (or if you have a lot of them and can spare one) I'd be so eternally grateful. I can duplicate it twice and then finish this quest and finally get another dragonwing circlet!

I assume by "bat things", you mean the Strigoi, correct? Even when they drink from you, it isn't a guarantee that they will drop the bloodred crystals. I have gone weeks without any, then one night they will be dropping like poop from a guinea pig. I believe I have an extra one. If you need more, just take that one, and get it forged from Montebank. I forge crafting material all the time, since some crafting material takes forever and a day to drop.

I already shut down for the night, but I will gift it to Seel tomorrow. Also, I gifted him a lvl.3 Armor this evening.

BTW @Shepen......the outfit. The OUTFIT. *chuckle* So dreamy.....

Ahh yes, thank you ^///^ That's just what I had planned on doing  I would not normally ask for specific things here but I think it was Happy who said that when I needed something I should just ask you guys. And if this weren't quest-related... and apparently the only way I can get another dragonwing circlet... AND having to use up like sixteen curatives whilst waiting for the stupid bat things (strigori?) to drink my blood and then let me kill them... and then NOT drop anything... I wouldn't ask.

[CuriousArtemis]

Aaaand... I just realized I will probably have the same problem with Arya/Dai >.< Well, no matter. At least one of my Arisens will have a circlet ^^ Plus I'd rather Rohan have it than Dai, since Dai's far more lethal. Rohan needs all the help he can get, poor guy.

I can't wait till Seel being a powerful sorcerer can actually mean something. Right now, he dies like ten times in every fight. It's a bummer.

p.s. Looking up at those pictures, I just realized that Valmiro is frigging buff.

If Seel still wants mage pants, I can check what I have today after lunch. Although, if you mean tights or hosen, they're usually covered up by boots and whatever you're wearing for torso armor, so you don't see them anyway. I'll send him back with something, though.

I didn't play yesterday, I sorta got caught up in Fallout:NV. I started Old World Blues. I probably should have left that DLC for last as it's generally regarded as the best one, but whatever.

I do have a bunch of pics that depict a typical Shepenwepet Maneater encounter...


This is that chest in the Ward of Regret that always seems to have one. I waited for someone to open it. They didn't. They just stood there, milling about, occasionally jumping over the chest.

But then I figured, what if it isn't a maneater? WHAT WILL I MISS OUT ON?...

...it's a maneater. Shinon quickly looks the other way...

...and then runs, leaving the other pawns to do all the work.

There's also situations like this, where an exequy spell is still hanging out when the maneater's dead.

I thought these three were smarter than that! Come on, you guys! What are you doing? It can still kill you!

...ah. You wanted to do your victory poses, and to trick Shinon into killing himself. How nice.

...he actually didn't die there, and I'm not sure why. He's died many, many times in the same situation.

[happy_daiz]

@Shep - I have all the FO:NV DLC, and have yet to play any of them. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for. Hmm, now that I'm thinking about it, I know why. I haven't actually finished the vanilla game. I had one character pretty far into the campaign; but by then, had gotten the guide, and realized that if I finished it, Boone and Arcade would not get their best outcomes. So, many moons later, I started a new run, and didn't get far, before something else drew my attention. Honestly, I think I had more fun with FO3. Not sure why. Alas, someday.

I do miss V.A.T.S, though. 

@moto - it can take forever, like Coldi said, to get Bloodred Crystals. In my Selene/Iorveth run, I still haven't gotten a single one, and they're level 130-something. I shudder to think how many Strigoi I've killed in that time. Once you complete that quest, you'll be able to just buy a Dragonwing Circlet from Barroch for your pawn.

Who is your LI in the run you were playing while on a date with Valmiro? Ser Max?

Modifié par happy_daiz, 29 septembre 2013 - 03:11 .

[CuriousArtemis]

Yep, I have Ser Max as my LI right now. Stupid me, I really thought he'd have some kind of speech at the end, same as Valmiro and Reynard. But I should have known. He has no real storyline; Valmiro and Reynard each have their own personal quest, and then that touching end scene (Valmiro on the beach, Reynard saying good-bye... sniffle). I had romanced Valmiro in the previous game so he still has high affinity and gives Rohan gifts. Totally feel like I cheated on the poor little guy. I had even changed Rohan's name to Alex and changed his appearance completely, but once I realized the disappointment that is Ser Max lol I changed him back to his original name and appearance.

I think if I decide to replay I will go for Mercedes next. She's female and a major character, so she's sure to have a decent ending lol Her good-bye scene always chokes me up.

And okay about the bloodred crystals, guys! I had no idea they were such a pain in the ass for everyone, not just me. Well, I'll just be patient and maybe wait 10-20 levels before I try to fight those scrigori again. They seriously just destroy me. And the stupid floating red balls that can really only be killed with magic... god I miss my magick archer!! And my last attempt, Seel evidently fell of the bridge. *sighs angrily*

On pants, yeah I know, and archer boots usually do hide them, but Seel has the greaves that Woolie has now so you can see his pants. It's no big thing though. I wish he could wear the chain hosen because it matches his shirt perfectly.

Shep: I've noticed the pawns have really been failing me on opening chests lately. Even Shinon. Shinon used to be my guy who'd sprint forward and eagerly open any chest. Now he just hops around with the rest of them.

[mnomaha]

It's not just you. Not only don't they feel like opening chests, they don't feel like picking anything up today.

And Val and Seel keep running off together. Maybe he can do that lightening/cold thing that I read about from an Anders fic.

[Shepenwepet]

@moto - I sent Seel back with a bloodred crystal and a few new items of clothing that are all statistically worse than what he had on. I tried dragonforging stuff, but there weren't any dragons respawning for me to do so.

@mnomaha - I sent Val back with a portcrystal and...something? I know I gave her some new clothes but I can't for the life of me remember what they are.

@happy - I bought the ultimate edition of NV last year for 20 bucks and am just getting around to it now. I beat the game, I sided with Yes Man because he was a Kid in the Hall. I resisted using companions for the longest time, I figured they'd just get in the way, but... Boone. He kills things I don't even see.

That's in banter, too, between Isabela and Anders!  

I'm so sorry he's off doing kinky mage stuff with innocent Val  Blame Chase (or was it Thomas??); he started this whole "run off and hide from the Arisen" thing!

WOOT!!!!!!!!! Thanks!  About the pants, well his current pants are gold forged so if those aren't even dragonforged they won't be "better" ... but his pants aren't very high level; I think they're vanilla gransys low level pants?! I don't even know. I don't understand why he can't have nice pants. Only pants I have are either white or fugly grey... it just does not go with his outfit! He will not let me put them on him.

[Shepenwepet]

I gave him evening tights. You only see the black as his robe is covering the rest. Which reminds me, I also gave him an Ancient Robe.

Well, I'm off. I think Alynna and Shinon got invited to a masquerade ball in the Duke's Demesne.

Shinon's gonna be crushed when they turn him away at the door for being a soulless automaton.

[happy_daiz]

@Shep - I was originally going to help the NCR, but just couldn't decide when it came down to it. I also got that Ultimate Edition, so I have 2 copies now. Boone. Love that guy. Arcade was actually really good, too. And Rex. Poor Rex and his bad brain. Dang, I might have to switch games again. LOL.

Love the Masquerade shot.

[mnomaha]

Okay, so here's my Arisen, don't mind those two in the background. Yep, that's Seel and Val. Frisky little pawns...



@Shep...thanks so much!!!

[coldwetn0se]

@mnomaha.....Handsome fellow! Kind of has a Conan thing going on.

Can never leave well enough alone. Just spent about an hour in the Character Creator redoing Ulee once again. I have been trying to get a particular hairstyle to work for weeks. It looked awful on all of my prior attempts. This time, I built a face that was meant specifically for that hairstyle. Is that weird? O.o

I don't want to babysit Fat Bastard's kid, but it does make it easier to acquit him when charges are brought against him. I need the big turd to keep me stocked in periapts (even though I have already stocked up substantially in case I just don't feel like bothering with him).

But for now, off to the water god alter. Taking Val and Shin, who is still dressed very "colorfully". XD

I kept handing in petitions until Shinon said something like "it seems like Fournival will be found innocent", then I went and crashed at the inn for a few days.

Aaaaand guilty. Shows what Shinon knows. Now I can't get Maker's Fingers.

[Newschmoo]

 Oh no, Thomas seems to he making other pawns run off/misbehave!  I think Arthur needs to give him a good talking to.  

Loving the look of everyone's Arisens! Gransys is blessed with gorgeous looking Arisens! Rohan could be in Final Fantasy. 

Talking of Arisens, this is my first Arisen, Anna. She was quite petite and a complete tomboy -



This is my current Arisen, Arthur, he's quite metrosexual and a bit vain -



And here he is carrying a deer, who is not very happy!



I did try riding a cow, but it went horribly wrong and ... well I'm not doing that again  Happy did warn me.

Edit - things always go wrong when I try to post images!  Must go to bed!
