Roleplayer's Off Topic Thread #12

[BTC]

I find myself much more interested in playing it than actually finishing it. I’m not a big fan of grinding or games that require you to grind, but the fights and managing the heroes and their stress levels is fun. I doubt I’ll ever complete the game but I’ve enjoyed playing it. And even though it’s totally anthetical to the game, I get really attached to my heroes. Especially my core crusader man at arms vestal houndmaster group. So I tend to play more conservatively. 

Though, now that I think about it, maybe it’s not antithetical to the game. After all,

The ancestor just used and threw away people as he pleased. It seems a nice rebuke to him to care about and try and keep alive the heroes. Or at least, as many as you can.

*Dice rolling*

Welcome to Old School RPGing. DnD say's hi. The game offers plenty of ways to get pass the dice rolls.

Anyway, as someone whose put over a 130 hours in the game, I call, yet again bullshit. Accuracy is not as nearly as important as you think it is. Seems like your blaming the game, when there was plenty ways you could have super vented it. 

When a lot of creatures, especially the new and really dangerous ones, has ridiculously high dodge stat, I do dare say accuracy becomes really important. And it is poorly balanced since after I started using party accuracy buffs the dungeons became much easier.

I cared if you get passed level 2  Then I upgrade and take care of them. Not a level before though. 

Radiant Mode removes basically 80 percent of the grinding. You can carry more gold and heirlooms, things are cheaper to upgrade, you can bring anyone under level 5 to any levelled dungeon, and heroes can go to the Darkest Dungeon any number of times.

 I guess I’ll see for myself eventually lol. All I can say is I’ve noticed how big a difference those buffs can make but no idea if that’ll hold up when I get to Witchie’s level.

The version your playing buffed ACC (Accuracy) really heavily, so I doubt you'll have the same problem.

BTW, for Dismas, I highly recommend you get rid of Grapeshot (it's fucking horrible), Tracking shot (It's decent but only for higher levels when enemies can stealth) and replace them for the combo of Point Blank Shot (best skill in the fucking game TBH) and Duellist Advancement. You use Duelist advancement to move the Highwayman to the front (it gives you a riposte to), and you use Point Blank shot to one shot. 

 

[ColonelKillaBee]

Hows my version different from Witchie's, did they update it since he last played?

[BigBossBalrog]

The latest patch was like a week ago and it completely changed how the game worked  Why do you think there's so many angry people on the steam forums 

[ColonelKillaBee]

Lol I don’t frequent the steam forums. Too many assholes ready to insult anyone that asks for help.

Not to mention all the racists.

[ColonelKillaBee]

I beat my first long mission, yay!

Awesome how much gold ya get? Did camping help alot?

[ColonelKillaBee]

I don’t get these negative traits and how they develop tho, my knight got stress eater and he never got high in stress the whole mission

It did but I knew to camp before, I just didn’t know the mechanics specifically and that each hero had their own separate abilities for it.

I got 9000, a lot more than my other missions gave. The curio tip helped with that too.

It's based on bunch of super technical factors. Remeber, there are special curios that remove them, and you can always get rid of them at the Sanitorium.

Did you keep your heroes stress levels down?

 

[ColonelKillaBee]

Most of them, as best I could. My healer had moderate stress and I used the jester on her, and the jesters was high but got him out in time before it got to 100.

Treating my warrior in the sanitarium now, relieving three others. 

I really need another tank, he’s my only one. Gonna do short missions for the time being.

Like I said only use stress relief if it's super bad cause it's going to bankrupt you fast.

Once you unlock the Nomad wagon you can sell trinkets you don't need for good cash!

Unlocked, and yea it was bad, lol. Some heroes are just more prone to stress, but I'm getting better at it. Not bothering to relieve junk characters tho. Cannon fodder.

[ColonelKillaBee]

Wow I see why I was sucking so bad. really shouldve done these easy ass short missions first before I tried anything else. 

[BigBossBalrog]

What things have you upgraded so far?

[ColonelKillaBee]

The guild, the thing where you get more companions, and the sanitarium. Maybe the chapel too.

The Chapel is the best stress relief. Ignore tavern. Also the Blacksmith is super important.

Short missions are very good for stress relief and gathering money  

[ColonelKillaBee]

But dude, they have a brothel!  

[Witchking of Angmar]

The chapel and tavern are the best stress relief depending if the class is religious or not. Crusaders, vestals and abominations prefer the chapel while highwaymen, men-at-arms and the like prefer the tavern. 

[ColonelKillaBee]

So it says I can add backer heroes by simply typing in their name? Is there no limit to this?

No, because using the Chapel doesn't give your hero fucking Syphilis or make you addicted to gambling like the Tavern.

DONT use brothel or gambling. If you need to use the Tavern, only do drinks. And the Chapel still does the most stress relief. 

Penance Hall is the best stress decrease. It not only decreases the most it has NO negative quirks associated with it.

I don’t remember the tavern being any more negative than the chapel. And all stress relief places have quirks associated with it. Those quirks are mainly about locking them out of one, several or all but one of all the stress relief actions. Flagelants can only stress relieve themselves by flagelation in the chapel, gambling addiction is the same but for gambling. The only quirk that I remember that is something different is skilled gambler which just means they lose less money in the gambling hall.
