...he won't leave the inn. Can't imagine why.


Yep, you too can get "The Shinon" at Devyn's Barber Shop.

Hmm, he must have left. Cause he's hanging out in the Rift like that. It's, er, even more colorful in person  Work it, Shinon!!

 How did I never notice that. Spitting image!

EDIT: Not a good day for hunting CDs <_< Once again, no cursed items dropped, nothing DFed.

I killed a cursed dragon the other day and I got FA too! I haven't killed that many cursed dragons, so I thought I might get something. I think the UR Dragon's a bit more generous!

BTW, what is Shinon wearing on his bottom half?!

[CuriousArtemis]

Looks like some form of raptor cuisses and fine Cassardi hosen

P.S. So I'm seeing online that everyone hates the Abyssinal Armor  That makes me sad because I have the arms/gloves for Arya and I think they're awesome. (I mean they're purple and they glow... win/win?) 

I finally gave her an outfit change but I don't love it. It's my Arisen Dai's usual outfit. But it looks funny on her. She needs more armor (as in, she looks best fully kitted out).

The Abyssinal Armor isn't hated. BBI, has just made it slightly obsolete. Which is kind of sad, since I still find some prestige in fighting the online Ur-Dragon, and that is the only time you can be rewarded those armor items.

Don't worry what others think about the "look", so much. If your general defense scores are decent, and resistances are fairly high, that is what most care about (or what they SHOULD care about). Everything else, is just subjective preferences. I throw the Abyssinal Outfit on Chase quite often, and Shep uses the Abyssinal Coat on Shinon now and again. (in fact, I just returned Shinon about 30 minutes ago, and he had been wearing the Abyssinal Coat. )

[CuriousArtemis]

Aww thanks for the vote of confidence I will be redressing her when I fire up the game. Isn't Shinon wearing the abyssinal bracers in the, erm, shameful picture above? xD I really love those things. I'm noticing that this playthrough compared with my Rohan/Seel playthrough is REALLY low on armor choices. I seem to keep getting duplicates. What I wouldn't give for some golden lion padding... Rohan has like three sets of it. Dai and Arya... well... if you need some high boots, they've got you covered, three in every shade! lol Methinks I need to do some Everfall farming....

Anyone have good suggestions for armor/clothes that protect against possession and petrification?

Dai got petrified twice last night... talk about wasting a wakestone

The blasphemer's coat protects against possession 100% but I don't like it on Arya for some reason.

I don't really like the look of them on Shinon. (As you noticed in a later post, he does wear them once in a while.)  They're fine on my arisen, and she occasionally sports them while bombin' around.

Dat Abyssinal Coat though. That looks good on EVERYONE.

Anyone have good suggestions for armor/clothes that protect against possession and petrification?

Yep.

Exotic High Boots: 50% possession resistance dragonforged, 75% gold rarefied
Delta Guard: 45% possession and petrification when gold rarefied
Nebula Cape and Sovereign's Mantle both have 56% possession resist when gold rarefied
Dragonwing Circlet has 60% petrification resist at gold

My arisen usually wears a delta guard and a dragonwing circlet. 100% right there.

Shinon: Ah, Gran Soren. Now we're talking. There are people from all walks of life here, including intrepid adventurers. Someone here should have the knowledge we seek.

Voice: Good day sir! Care to buy some supplies or crafting materials? I have everything from rusted daggers to bits of old buildings!


Shinon: I imagine folks just line up in droves for that.

Reynard: Just between you and me, business isn't that great. People are coming up to me, asking for these materials I've never even heard of. Tell me, would you pay hard-looted cash for  a "fetid gallstone"?

Shinon: ...why would someone want that?

Reynard: Maker, I don't know. And "moonshimmer pelts", that's another one. What's a moonshimmer, anyway? I've never seen one, and I've been just about everywhere.

Shinon: Maybe they live on BBI?

Reynard: Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it. I'm thinking of heading there myself one of these days to see what all the hubbub is about.

Shinon: What hubbub? What do you know?

Reynard: I've heard there's an entire underground city there, abandoned. Pawns that lost their masters roam aimlessly in its streets, attacking anyone that comes near. Imagine the money I could make if I got some bits of THOSE old buildings!

Shinon: Sir, nobody buys bricks or Gran Soren rubble. They just don't. I highly doubt bricks or rubble from an abandoned underground city would be any different. Maybe aim a little higher. Ancient artifacts. Sculptures. Conversation pieces, that sort of thing.

Reynard: You know what, you're right! I need to expand my inventory! I'm going to BBI! I just have to gather some supplies that aren't moldy and useless and... hey! *points frantically at a passing man* The bracers that man is wearing! Those are made from those moonshimmer pelts!

Shinon: Hey, I know him! Quintin! Hey!



Quintin: How's it going, Shi? Haven't seen you in ages!

Shinon: Yeah, I've been busy. Doing a documentary on BBI right now. We haven't gotten much information yet, but we're trying.

Quintin: BBI? I've been there.

Shinon: You have? Thank the maker. Answers. Well, tell us your tale, my friend.

Quintin: Well, I'm kinda in a hurry, but I suppose I can spare a few minutes. Yeah, Master and I went to BBI a few times, actually. You have to take the boat from Cassardis to get there the first time, but you can zip back with a ferrystone later.

Shinon: So what's it like there?

Quintin: You step onto the island, there's this big structure, looks like an old ruined castle. But then you've got this wooden platform with a bed on it near the pier. There's a woman that lives there, dressed all in black. She asked us to help her with something. I dunno, Master was listening to her, I was too busy walking around and looking from side to side. I think I learned that from you.

Shinon: Sounds like something i'd do. This woman, is her name Olra?

Quintin: I think, yeah. Master gave her a melted lump of bluish-black metal and she turned it into some papers for the scrivener.

Shinon: What you just said makes no sense at all.

Quintin: Truth is stranger than fiction, bro.

Shinon: *points to quintin's bracers* And those? Did she make those?

Quintin: Yeah, she did! Awesome, huh? They're called Trophy Bracers. These white bits? Giant Saurian Sage hide.

Shinon: Reynard said it was "moonshimmer pelt", so that's just what they call it?

Quintin: "Moonshimmer pelt" sounds a lot more luxurious than "saurian hide", don't you think? Poor guys are being hunted to extinction, though. I got these back when there were tons of 'em. Now you're lucky if you see one on the entire island.

Shinon: So you've seen the whole place, then?

Quintin: Oh, no. Master got injured and we had to liftstone.

Shinon: "Riftstone." It's an "R". Rrrrrrriftstone.

Quintin: No, I meant liftstone. they're special BBI ferrystones. Normal ferrystones don't work on BBI once you're inside. You need an emergency exit, trust me. Things can be going fine, then all of a sudden, an ogre is swatting you off a bridge, leaving your master to fend for herself. Which reminds me, I really should be going, I'm sorry. If you ever decide to head out to BBI for an on-location segment, count me in, there's a bunch of us that know the place pretty well.

Shinon: You'd think it'd be safe with the whole camera crew? They're just random pawns I pulled off the street.
Quintin: Nah, they'd get eaten.  When I get the chance, I'll talk to a few of my buddies, see if they'll help out. You should head to the pawn guild, ask around. Get yourself some decent gear first, and make sure you're stocked in curatives. BBI isn't Happy Fun Time.

Shinon: Okay, thanks. I'll see you around.


Shinon: So, gear, huh? Well, here's an armory. Let's see what they have.



Caxton: Iron and steel, honed to an edge. That's all a man really needs.

Shinon: This man needs some armor, actually. I'm looking for something in a bracer... chainmail, perhaps? And make sure it qualifies as torso clothing even though it's clearly for the arms.

Caxton: They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong. *hands Shinon an Archwizard's Helm*

Shinon: Um, no, I asked for -

Caxton: They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong.

Shinon: Oh, I'm sure it's fine, but it's not what I'm looking for. I don't wear helms, see this glorious hair? I don't cover this up.

Caxton:...come again.

Shinon: No, I'm not leaving, I just don't want that helm. I just want some chainmail bracers, ok? Nothing wizardy or helmetty.

Caxton:  They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong. *hands Shinon a single mage shoe*

Shinon: Yes. Well. Is there someone else I can speak to? Ah, you there...


Gwine - Hi there! You in the market for a weapon?

Shinon: No, actually, i'm looking for some bracers. ...by the way, is the owner okay?

Gwine: Caxton? Oh, he's just really proud of his work. So... bracers, you say? But... you can't kill anything with bracers.

Shinon: No, but I can stop things from trying to gnaw on my arms.

Gwine: You don't need armor if all your enemies are lying in a massive pool of blood.

Shinon: The odd glint in your eyes has me more than a little concerned.

Gwine: I love that...rush I get from holding a longsword, don't you? You're holding something in your hands that can take someone's life!

Shinon: So can a brick.



Gwine: Oh, but clubbing someone to death with a bit of masonry is just brutish and messy. Sinking a blade into soft, supple flesh....It's elegant, almost...magical...*trails off*

Shinon: Does Caxton let you handle weapons here?

Gwine: No, but I do anyway when he's not watching. How can I not hold these beauties? *fondles several daggers rather disturbingly*

Shinon: So no chainmail bracers then?

Gwine *leans over counter, has clearly lost it* I sleep on a pile of scabbards, awash in the scent of leather. My sheets are Swordsman's Mantles, covered in the blood of the fallen. My pillow is a...well, it's a pillow but the pillowcase has pictures of swords on it!

Shinon: You're a delightful young lady. If you'd excuse me, I just remembered I have to...be excused.

Gwine: Wait! *climbs up onto counter* If you could be a sword, which one would you be? I'd be a Cassardi flamberge. All those sharp points...ripping and tearing... What about you, huh?

Shinon: I lied, you're not a delightful young lady, you're batsh*t crazy and shouldn't be allowed within a 300-mile radius of anything sharp.

Gwine: Oh, you're a bastard sword, then.

Shinon: A GOLDEN bastard, thank you.



Shinon: That was incredibly frightening. As you can see, I decided to dig through my master's storage rather than buy anything from those nutbars. That's all the time we have for now. Next time,  I'm off to the pawn guild to see if I can recruit some pawns to join us on our pursuit of knowledge. I also know that nobody's a raving wacko there, which will be a nice change. Good night, Gransys, and be careful you aren't soaked in water!

And OMG Quintin is totes the ultimate bro!!!  <-- smiley not cool enough to capture Quintin's extreme bro-ness*  Why do I see him and Shinon like totally hanging out, shootin' the sh!t, being rad together? I now demand "Quintin and Shinon's Rad BBI Adventure" for your next project!

 I have to capture Reynard's ******. voice with my camera (video) some time soon, just so you guys know why he's so sexy. Earplugs indeed for that default voice

I really wish we could get rid of that. It makes the upper left corner off-limits when trying to take a shot.


Have you ever talked to a (non-pawn) character, then hit the pause button as the camera is zooming back out? Most of the time, the camera locks or won't let you spin it correctly, but I did manage to get this whistling Barnaby. (his mouth was still moving because I sped through his dialogue. Terrible, I know, but it was for Science.)


I tried to recreate it last night for about fifteen minutes and couldn't do it. I also couldn't get a close shot like that again.

[CuriousArtemis]

Now have a pic of Joe looking thrilled at having found his long list twin:


We'll just pretend that underneath that helm is another pale-haired green-eyed dashingly handsome fellow.

 So cute. I wonder what he likes to whistle. I mean, he's a pawn, so... do pawns have music? Art, culture? He probably has a favorite song and just whistles it over and over and over again....

I'll have to try that. I didn't know you could do that.  I really wish we could get a shot of our Arisen throwing the rrrrrriftstone/liftstone; I love that image. Also you can see how grossly knock-kneed my Arisen is, and it cracks me up lol

[coldwetn0se]

XD lol!!...Shepen! Shepen-leppen-ding-dong.......Shepen!

I am obviously back now from my trip. Wasn't able to get online at the condo I was staying at (no wifi, and my hotspot, wasn't so.....hot. ), but I still plan to post the NPC screenies I have on FB. They will be up tomorrow.

Looking forward to more docu-goodness from Shinon.

[CuriousArtemis]

Oh, in other news, guess who got her first bloodred crystal?! That's right, *in the words of Elle Woods* MEEEE!!!!! *cackles* I would apologize to the pawns for the countless hours (okay more like minutes) spent watching the strigoi latch on to them and suck their blood, but they're soulless automatons and can't feel pain, so why bother?

Also, someone rented Arya and sent her back with five stars :-O AND a level 2 cursed armor!!! She was obviously hired for the female thieves quest since I've never done it and she said she "learned" it for the first time. Someone was very kind and very generous!

[Newschmoo]

@Shepenwepet, loving Shinon's new report :-D

Quintin is a handsome chap, but I know what you mean about Reynard's voice. My Arisen can never romance him for that reason! But his voice is not as bad as Mathias. Sounds like a bad attempt at an Irish accent! And I like the look of the Abyssinal Armour, but I don't think I have any of the pieces.

And I knocked off a whole health bar from Death last night woo hoo! I did feel a sense of achievement. Can't remember how many times I pressed the 'come' command for the pawns! For some reason Thomas had a death wish, including jumping into the void in the Gutter of Misery. Why do they do that?

Just teasing. I'm sure we all have similar shots of something. We seem to be of like mind in such things.

And just popping in to say hello. I'm still playing my male kitty in Skyrim. My plan is to get the remaining achievements that I'm missing, then I'll probably come back to DD. That is, if I can get all of that done by the 29th. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be out by then!
