But, I have a question: Beren will NOT give me the warrior meister skill.
Have you tried giving him gifts? It looks like you need high affinity as well as finishing the quest to get scrolls from meisters, so if you take long enough from start to finish, affinity might decay and you won't get the scroll without escort or gift.
Edit: I have not noticed that you did give him gifts on my first read, feel free to disregard my dumb butt. No clue how to fix your problem then.
Also, I hate dragonsplague because all I do is worry about my poor Nick and it's sucked some of the fun out of the game for me. I've fought 0 drakes cause of it For what it's worth, I haven't encountered the plague at all on my first run, and I killed plenty of drakes. I've heard it might be specific moves or getting downed that causes it, but I can't verify it because my pawn never got it. You should also get a tutorial pop-up the first time you see it, so you're safe until then.

My main pawn is fem kindhearted and she's such a total sweetheart, I always feel bad whenever she ends up falling into brine or gets pummeled by enemy (also the way they all behave when they have high affinity is adorable) I was thinking about swapping her personality to straightforward or calm, but at this point it would feel wrong

There are a few spots where there is a cyclops basically setup to become one. That's how I got mine, Cyclops was sleeping near a broken bridge and once he woke up after one love tap, he did the "fall over the gap" and I ran to the other side, got the achievement, whacked at his head with my big greatsword a few times...and when he fell he grabbed my ankle and off with him I went into the Brine!!! I tried to do this one twice so far, but both times it just barely missed the other side and into the brine it went x.x

So I'm a little confused. Some people suggest that it might be the last person you talked to with any affinity, but I don't think that's accurate, even if it would make sense for my save. I know I'll see the actual numbers once I properly beat the game so maybe Klaus just really, really liked those flowers. Affinity certainly is...interesting. Attempt #1 I got Sara, blacksmith apprentice from Battahl. I did do her quest and upgraded with her most often, so okay, fair enough. Reload inn save which is right before going into the area, as an experiment, ferrystone to Ulrika, give her the affinity ring. Go back to the dragon, and yay, it's got her in its claws. So far so comprehensible. Then I continue playing and in the final credits, the scene that I assume contains your 'beloved' is...Menella?! I mean, it is entirely possible she was the last person I talked to, but wha. As a bonus, credits list your 'dearest allies' or something along those lines, and my #1 was Doireann from the elven questline. In short, I have no clue what's going on with the affinity.

So on NG+ - the difficulty tweak mod feels practically essential, since I'm level 72, I had to drop small enemy damage taken to like 35% to stop one-shotting them... with an unenhanced flamberge. I haven't fought much of the bigger enemies, but 50% damage reduction on them and cyclops still fell over really quickly. I'm also experimenting with increased damage taken, currently sitting at +35% damage taken, but I haven't been hit by much other than goblins, so it might go up or down later. Other than that, even after 100 hours, I still find the quiet moments in the game really pretty. I also set my pawn to fighter for now, gotta get more augments for the girl. Since there is only two of us, I need her to be able to carry more stuff Playing with fire. I also noticed that deer also get that glowing eyes effect when you shine light on them in the dark that wolves also get. This might actually be one of my favourite little touches, because I'm not sure I've seen this in any other game Edit: also my pawn is really entertaining as a fighter. Had a thing happen where Pawn - "'Tis a chest, I shall have a look to see if there is aught inside." Me- Wait, where did you run off to? 3 seconds later*clunk* my pawn drops next to me, on her shield, from a large rock right behind me.

I haven't seen a single case of dragonplague in entire NG. Start NG+. Second pawn I hire has the plague Honestly it was funny. Although if I do continue with the NG+, it will probably with just my main pawn.

I just realised I forgot to dismiss and reward the pawns I ended the game with, I should do that...although it would mean I would have to start NG+. Hmmm.
Edit: Oh, they don't appear when you reach the riftstone, huh. Hope they got some rift crystals at least

Soooo I finished the entire game now. Took me 98 hours, and somehow I haven't encountered Dragonsplague thing even once. Other than that, I really enjoyed my time with the game overall, but it is one of those games where you really need to meet it where it's at, and it will take you on an adventure. I am probably not going to do NG+ immediately, or even for a while (I'm just not much of an NG+ person in general), but this is definitely a game I will be returning to from time to time, and one I will remember fondly Edit: One more pic

I have also managed to finish sphinx quests, it was interesting that she seemed relatively unphased by the unmaking arrow, huh I had the same problem. Probably have to initiate a conversation first before the attempt. Oh no, it did work for me, I was just referring to her reaction to it

So I was fully prepared to head for the end of the game, but then I found out there was a bit of Battahl I haven't discovered yet I have also managed to finish sphinx quests, it was interesting that she seemed relatively unphased by the unmaking arrow, huh Aaaand I've been using a mod that lets you have skill sets saved per weapon on Warfarer, and I found renewed appreciation for High Palladium since Warfarer doesn't get to enjoy Warrior's nutty 400 base knockdown resistance (to compare, fighter and warfarer have 100, and everyone else has 50). That's like, more than any gear bar the heaviest. There have also been some drake fights.

I was playing around with magick archer today (well, at this point, yesterday), and the vocation feels like an cheat code Absolutely obliterating everything, from the smallest of enemies up to and including Drakes. Don't even need to abuse the meistr skill for that, but if you do, you can practically one shot a drake at the cost of most of your health. This time you don't even need augments to make it good, it's just ridiculous straight out of the box. And I got some pics.

I know about the two copies, but I did one of the quests it's involved in out of order (Tolled to Rest) and uhhh...it's missing from it now, because I turned both it to the NPC's who asked for 'em xD Apparently you cannot loot it before that's done. It took a while before I found where Oskar died >.>
I gifted my copy to your pawn. I did "Tolled to Rest" already, my Oskar wasn't dead when I saw him. So my problem with Oskar was that I was just near death and didn't notice quest popping up...he died to harpies, and I returned to the quest like 20 hours later And thank you, if possible I will return the book after I'm done with it

Oh shit. I don't suppose anyone on PC has an extra copy of "Nation's Death Knell" I don't even know if it's tradeable tbh There are two copies in-game and I got one copy in storage, but I haven't done the related quests...which I guess is why you have that "oh shit" comment. I could try gifting it to your pawn thought. edit: it's available in the list of items when dismissing a pawn.

I was expecting people resolving all the Goddess of Riddles's riddles to be higher than 2.4% on Steam (I am one of them now ). I now have an house in Bakbatthal. I really like the place. I wish it was easier to get there before the main story brings you there. I'm starting to like Archer quite a bit now that I got more skills and got the hang of it. Kinda like Warrior I guess, you just need to learn the vocation quirks. I also unlocked Trickster, but haven't tried it yet. Archibald got a Warrior gear upgrade (everyone knows that less skin protected = more protection right?) and this is the first oxcart I see destroyed...but I missed the destruction, They were just here standing in the middle of the road when I passed by. I ended up in a fight with 2 Cyclops, redwolves and knackers/hobgoblins and a phantom. Somehow managed to kill everything. There was three/bushes, it was dark and I wasn't seeing much. And my Arisen isn't even the one with the heroic pose... I am planning to finish the riddle quests...I am still missing one of those in first location because I was doing other stuff Archer was interesting from what I tried of it, it was certainly nice to have a way to deal with harpies that's not "wait until they attack you or your pawn brings them down" Also hey, that's my pawn! I think I fought those specific two cyclopses literally just now. Except instead of wolves, griffin came to crash the party (then promptly left again after taking some hits to the face)

I played Magic Archer in almost all my DD/DA playthroughs and loved it. I used my magic skills primarily for levitate and it enabled me to reach chests I couldn't reach before. I started as an Archer in DD2, but changed to a Thief as I wasn't really doing well as an archer. I'm happy with the thief vocation but even with skull splitter I cant seem to reach those higher locations. I'm too uncoordinated I guess Do any of the additional vocations accessible later on help? Mages and sorcerers get levitate, and on thief, I think people are using "Concussive Step"/Leap as a pseudo double-jump

More playing with the free cam photo mode For a short while, I had a pretty cool fighter pawn, but then she went and brined herself. I must say I'm a bit bummed they didn't give me a dress option for the courtly attire, but I have to admit, this is quite the look. And just some miscellaneous combat things Edit: looking through my screenshots....there is a lot of ogres out there, huh.

My keyboard seems to be working for the moment, so I'll put this in here while I can: old.reddit.com/r/DragonsDogma/comments/1bn0ue4/ancestral_cave_shortcut_workaround_with_video/Slight spoiler in there for the area West of Melve, but for when any of you get there, if you run into a problem unlocking the shortcut (which I suspect most of you will) it is bugged. There is a workaround, which thankfully is reliable and only takes a few minutes. I won't embarrass myself by saying how many hours between today and yesterday I spent trying to solve this, just that I'm hoping my frustration headache will go away now. : p I think I went in there like 4 times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything before giving in and googling the answer. I even used Frigor/Levitate combo to access the door on the Melve side, only to find that it’s locked from inside on that side as well. I felt like I was going insane, lmao

I’ve been having a lot of fun warrior. While other vocations I dipped into (fighter, archer, mage) haven’t been by any means harder to play, as warrior I feel like I’m bullying these creatures. Ramming small monsters and humans into walls, while for big ones abusing the copious amount of super armour and stagger buildup to just brute force my way to victory.
Mage pawn and consumables are recommended /laugh

I finally bought a PS5. Wish they had a few brighter colors options. Briana still doesn't look right, but I'll fix it eventually. There are good odds that there will be more colours available for purchase while playing like there were in the first game. There were pics floating on the web of a character with bright blue hair at least.
Edit: fixing tags because I'm dumb
