These are so great A tip I'm sure you all have already thought of: when you speak to a pawn, they turn to face you. Maybe try that (if you haven't already)?

 

Yeah, when you talk to wandering pawns the game zooms in like any other NPC, and when it zooms out again they turn back the way they were facing before. I think. I guess I was just lucky that most of my wanderers wanted to stand in the same direction.

 

edit: here's an old Chase:

[CuriousArtemis]

@Curious - Sent Seel home with a Griffon Pinion. In case you still needed one.

 

Oops, meant to say thank you!! Yeah I definitely don't see Rohan encountering any griffons anytime soon, so thanks!!

[coldwetn0se]

@Shepen- Castor was so jealous of Zi's Sanguine Stalk. Every lvl.3 weapon we have purified while set to "blue" vocations, have been the Dominion Claws. Every time. What's funny is, with Ulee and Chase, it took me forever to get the Dominion, but had Sanguines flying out of Ulee's butt. Ah well...I can't complain. Castor is still doing pretty good on purifications. I do need to play him for a bit though. Before my DSL went out, I was running Chase and Ulee through the back half of BBI, a couple of times. Today, I spent most of my time playing with Castor/F!Chase on the PS3. Came - this close to get Death, for the first time, with that PC. *shrug*

@Carcharoth - Who is the pawn in the Sage Crown (I think that is what it's called)?

Both you and Shep had some awesome pics tonight.

@Curious - I'll post two Chase pics, in the same general stance/distance, so you can better compare. But the main points are the forehead, eyebrows, jawline, and (inadvertently) his lips. lol! His lips got "fuller" when I switched to this face. You can see it best in profile pics of "before" and "after". Nothing is outrageously different, so yes....he looks pretty much like his regular handsome, bimbo self.

[Kaidan Fan]

I love all those shots shepenwepet!

 

I'm with Curious, I'd love to see a side by side of Chase.

 

(I was there for the 1000 page thing, but I have no artistic talent to speak of anymore).  It was pretty glorious though!

 

I played for a bit tonight.  Still trying to get the last "Kill x number of this mob" stuff done before talking to the duke feller and I guess that will send me into the next part of the game if I recall correctly.  I got Ser Berne to max affinity this time through, not that it really means anything.

@Carcharoth - Who is the pawn in the Sage Crown (I think that is what it's called)?

 

That's Mordecai. He's one of Aedans pawns.

 

Castor was so jealous of Zi's Sanguine Stalk.

 

It's not the size of the staff, it's how you use it.

[coldwetn0se]

I have so many albums on photobucket, I honestly am having troubles finding the picture I was going to use as the comparison, for "old Chase" vs. "new Chase". I had a picture that was almost identical to the one I posted yesterday (on the previous page), but I can't flippin' find it!

Ahh well. He's still Chase, minor physical changes notwithstanding.

Today I think I will finish out the remaining storyline for BBI, with Ari and Castor. I am tired of (trying) to farm for Moonshimmer Pelts. Besides, it would be nice for those two to start farming for their own lvl.3 items. Right now, they have been relying on the "kindness of strangers"......and Ulee.

Hopefully I will remember to take pictures. I swear I get tunnel vision when I take on Daimon (or Awakened Daimon) for the first time, with a character. Hells-bells, I get tunnel vision when I am doing it for farming too.

[Shepenwepet]

 

Okay, I kinda wanna see a side-by-side comparison of old and new Chase because he looks like the same dashing bimbo to me

 

 

...well, there y'go. The recipe I have for Chase uses face 40...

[coldwetn0se]

@Shepen - That's awesome! He was set at #40 forever. Then I had tried face #13. It gave him the shorter forehead, but it also made his face a bit too thin. So I went this time with #44. The forehead and chin area, got shorten some, but not drastically. The adjustment to the eyebrows, is also subtle, but I do like it better. #44 gives fuller lips (when you turn him profile).

[CuriousArtemis]

So... which one is the new Chase? I like the one on the right for his narrower face, but the one on the left has fuller lips, yummy Well, if I'm perfectly honest, they look pretty much the same; Chase is gorgeous no matter how you spin him

[coldwetn0se]

Heh! The one on the left, is the "new Chase". His jaw line is fuller, but with the widening of his eyebrows, and the fuller lips, I think it works. BTW, I think the picture on the right, might be his brief stint as #13 (unless Shepen remade Shinon briefly, for that picture). #13 is just the thinner version (to me, at least) of #44.

So I am about to go tackle Daimon with Ari/Castor. Just getting stocked up, then off we go....!

BTW, I have a favor to ask, of anyone who might be using Castor as a Mage, right now. If at all possible, can you check how often he is using "High Grapnel". It is easy to recognize since it is the only spell he has that "encompasses" him with that trippy looking blue/gree/black aura...thing. lol! I am trying to see how often he casts it. It is a pretty awesome spell...when pawns bother to use it. I may eventually switch him (again) to Utilitarian/Scather or something like that. See if it causes him to use that spell more often.

No need to go out of your way for anything, just if you happen to have Mage Castor, and are noticing.

[Shepenwepet]

I think I still have Castor with Zi, he was mostly casting Frigor while I was playing, possibly because we were fighting a drake. I also like the Grapnel spells, and Perdition.

 

Although perdition makes me thirsty.

Spoiler

 

And yeah, that fake Chase is just a quick CC change for Shinon I did before I quit, he's not on the server.

[coldwetn0se]

So I took a break from running through BBI one last time with Castor/Ari (one last time before Daimon). I may not have nabbed any new Moonshimmers, but I picked up three Idols-of-the-Mother. I seem to have a hard time getting the corrupted pawns (or whatever they are called...lol) to drop those things. I also took two whole bars off of Death, in the Bloodless Stockade. Picked up a ton of lvl.2 weapons/armor, that I can gift to Aedan and Kaidan Fan.

Had to make dinner, so I will be back at it, in a bit. The group is just chilling in the Fallen City for now. Actually looking forward to Daimon (but suspect it won't be that difficult). I ended up grabbing Shinon and Chase for this last run, so I suspect Daimon will go down fast. Ah well, it was mostly because I am just ready to start getting Duskmoon Dragons to show up, on a regular basis. DFing is much more difficult, when you are pre-Awakened Daimon.

[Shepenwepet]

Well for some reason I thought Perdition was a mage spell. It's a magick archer skill. Bleh. I was all set to snag some shots of Zi using it when I realized it's not in his skill list.

 

Have a couple Castors.

Spoiler

 

If someone has Zi in their party and is going to release him, send him home with some Living Armor loot - Phantom Orb or Fae-Silver Plate, if you have a spare. I need a bunch of both of those. I'll toss back whatever - if anything - you need. If you need nothing, expect Kept Rotten Pumpkins, stored with love.

 

I seriously don't know why I have Kept Rotten Pumpkins. Did I at one time intentionally jam a rotten pumpkin into a flask? That does sound like something I'd do, I guess...

[coldwetn0se]

After I finish with Daimon (currently finishing a tv show with Rog, cuz he "demands" <raspberry> ), I will pick up Zi, and gift him his "needs".

I think I have an extra phantom orb.

BTW....Castor looks pretty. That is all.


*nod*

[CuriousArtemis]

I have so many silver fae plates; I just can't resist picking them up for some reason, even though they're so heavy. I'll grab Zi and probably send him home with a sh!t-ton of them

[CuriousArtemis]

I seriously don't know why I have Kept Rotten Pumpkins. Did I at one time intentionally jam a rotten pumpkin into a flask? That does sound like something I'd do, I guess...

 

I believe Dai and Arya have a Kept Rotten Large Fish. Cause that's useful. Right.

[Newschmoo]

It's been busy on here since my last visit!  Loving those pawn group shots - the casual one hand on the hip look is all the rage!

 

 

You folks are crazy. I ONLY play mage in DAO & DA2.   I played as the other classes to get the achievements, but it was hell for me.

 

If I'm not tossing balls of flame at something from a distance, I'm doing it wrong.

 

Unless they announce the Lyncean Sight skill for the rogue tree in DAI, I'm sticking with my mage.

 

I love playing a mage - it's always the first vocation I go to in any RPG type of game.  I have two mage DAO play throughs on the go at the moment (one is on the PC).  I am planning to let Loghain live (which is going to be really hard because I do love Alistair) and I want at least one game without the OGB.  

 

Great screen shots Jay Jay I will have to try the Magick Archer again I kind of discounted it because it's attacks seemed so slow.@ Chase looks great Wetn0se total hunk lol. Have to say the archer based classes Strider,Ranger and Assassins are my fav classes so far tried the Fighter but it was so boring to play. Meanwhile I am now hopelessly addicted to DDDA haven't been able to put it down.

 

Magick Archer is the best. I am having to build up my Arisen's strength at the moment, so I am not using MA for a while.  Which I am finding hard 

 

Anyway, I have been on the PS3 version for a little while.  I did do both of Aelinore's quests (which I hate - why does my Arisen have to do certain things with her  )  I made sure he chucked her a few times, in the hope that any affinity dropped!  It was very satisfying!

 

And it was nice to do the final battle (it has been such a long time) and I was so relieved to get Quina (but in her nun's outfit  ) Defeating Grigori (with Frosty and Sila's help) is quite satisfying (if only because it's the only time when everything gets dragonforged).

 

Spoiler

Grigori is a bit of a beast

 

Not so happy about now having both Selene and Quina living in my Arisen's house though.  If ever Capcom asks for feedback re DD2 I know what I will say!

 

So my Arisen Charlie decided to go to BBI, just for the experience and encountered Death straightaway - he hotfooted it out of there!

 

Spoiler

[Kaidan Fan]

I peeked in BBI twice and each time Death popped up and I ran like a screaming fool!    I'm waiting until I get my big girl pants before I go back, which will probably be a long time from now

[coldwetn0se]

@newschmoo - I really like your Rhys, over on the PS3, but haven't rented him in a bit. I was getting some goodies for Stormheart, but will grab Rhys next. Besides, I am fairly certain I have an extra Talarian White staff, that I can equip to him.

@Kaidan Fan - *Hands KF a pair of Depends* "There ya go. Big girl pants."

Seriously though, don't worry about Death. So long as you have triggered him in the Garden of Ignominy, that very first time, you should be safe to go back in now, without him showing up. He will stick to a room called the Bloodless Stockade, till you kill the main baddie in the story. After that though (Post Daimon), Death will pop up "wherever" he wants. LOL! He does 'sort' of have a pattern. For example, if you see Giant Saurians and Sirens when you first enter the Garden of Ignominy (again, post-daimon), then you know there is a 95% chance Death will show up in the lower level garden, at some point. Generally speaking you can run past him, without too much problem. Just keep hitting that "Come!" button, in case you have pawns that feel like going "toe to toe" with him. LOL!

So I finished out main Daimon with Ari/Castor. And just as I predicted, it may have been overkill taking Chase and Shinon with us. Daimon fall down and go boom! In about a minute. So, not many pictures were had. I tried to take some when he was first powering up his Vortex, but then Castor was getting sucked in. Mama instinct took over and I immediately shot him with Ninebolt, to stagger him and stop the Vortex.

Anyway, had a fairly decent haul of things (got two level 3 armor, and a sheet-ton of lvl.2 armor/weapons). Grabbed a couple of the youngun's and tossed some of the level 2 items their way. Got some snapshots too. Will be back shortly to post, after I snatch them off of FB.

[coldwetn0se]

So here are the pics from last night. Like I said, the ones while on the path to taking down Daimon, are rather lackluster (plus Ari was set to MA; no Lycean/Comet Shot ).

Spoiler

Getting through the last few rooms (like the Forgotten Hall), the pawns seem over anxious. Well, except for Shinon who is digging in the dirt.


Shinon then feels the need to explain what is happening....again. (my fault, I hit the "converse" button by accident. )


Almost there.....
Ari: "Quit crowding me, you buffoons!"


*ominous music* The "Doors". (and I don't mean the band.)


The pawns cautiously approach.


Then we fight...ummm. yeah. Bad picture, is bad.


Castor heals Shinon's boo-boo.


"Blah, blah....yea us. We won. You dead."

Then it was time to switch back to Assassin. Thank god. Better shots, incoming.

Spoiler

First, some some handsome boys, after the Daimon fight.




Then I went and grabbed Gideon and Nicholas. (btw, I think Nicholas may be taking a page out of Thomas' book. Have I stated that before...? Hmmmm)




Very cramped quarters!


And we end with a couple random Chases....cuz.

[Jay Jay]

Just when I think I'm done farming Located in chest in The Everfall during Post-Dragon

[CuriousArtemis]

Then it was time to switch back to Assassin. Thank god. Better shots, incoming.
 

 

Is it not recommended to fight AD as assassin?

[coldwetn0se]

Is it not recommended to fight AD as assassin?

AD is just fine to fight as an Assassin (don't forget your Conqueror Periapts and blast arrows, if you have them ). Since Ari/Castor are still so low of level, I went with the "safer" vocation, based on my build and play style. But I have killed AD with an Assassin, Ranger, Strider, MA, and MK. (Remember, I'm the gal that prefers to jump on him, and start wailing. So any vocation that allows that, works for me. LOL!)

[Kaidan Fan]

@Kaidan Fan - *Hands KF a pair of Depends* "There ya go. Big girl pants."
 

Ouch!   

 

Thanks for taking Nicholas with you!  I love all the screen shots.  Who is Thomas?  I'll try to hop on and play some later tonight, get some levels maybe.
