W pawn

sure showed that box

Even wild animals 😂

"now watch what I do your wife's box"

bro facing down to the earth when casting in dd2 of course you're not gonna see it

Jajajaja this guy...

you can see the meteors in dd2 in the sky as well

u mean that one aspect, the twinkles, looks better in ddda. everything else about it, the debris, the explosions, looks way better in dd2.

Just say you are blind

I wish there was a mod to make it fast like it is in DA

Footage wasn't Dark Arisen. Wasn't even Dragon's Dogma. It was Dragon's Dogma Online. The MMO spin off that didn't get a western release.

​@@wetteryanWhat? DD Online had a completely different HUD, damage numbers on attacks, levels on enemies, etc. The HUD here is identical to Dark Arisen(which is essentially the same as base game for the purpose of this discussion)

@@wetteryan It is DDDA, near Cassardis.

​@@wetteryanyou high, blud?

Gicel was my favorite sorc spell in the first game. Though I miss it, I do think Frigor is a worthy replacement/change.

think they changed it because it would completely fuck with CPU as DD2 already does.

​@@kyero8724nah, gicel would be the least gpu demanding spell

​@@kyero8724 sounds like an issue with optimization (skill issue) on the dev's part.

@pwnomega4562 very likely is or overestimating it on a engine that never did open world

And you have little control over where you are targeting. No more the days of casting Maelstrom from the distance before the group of enemies started attacking you. Also, now Maelstrom doesn't pull targets from the outer range, so if the enemies get slightly out during the time you start spinning your staff until the spell lands, they are safe and you wasted all that time for nothing.

​@@GabrielPassarelliGOh wow, that sucks...

Honestly getting instagibbed by bandit mages in BBI who used the spell was most likely the source of that change lol. BBI consisted of small condensed spaces which made getting away from the sucktion a nightmare though too so who knows.

@@IHMyself lol

@@GabrielPassarelliG yeah I feel like they removed a lot of the range on it

I miss Mystic Knight, I ended up going full cope mode with Warfarer using Mace+Shield and Archstaff, using Augural Flare like Grand Cannon

There is a mod for that

I ended up basically running a strider build with warfairer through to the end.

I would rather have the old system with each class having two weapons or 6 skills, and with warfarer allow you to select two weapons to swap in the fly with ANY skill you want, that would prettymuch let you be watever you want. Theres a reason most people use moded warfarer to be able to use most skills....and as others have said...i miss mystic knight....hence im going back to DD1 just to play it again

That would have been way better

If you haven't, you should. It's a fantastic game that holds up to this day. There's much to still appreciate.

Masterworks all, you can't go wrong!

I've learned of beasts

@@Samurai_Stoner SOAKED to the bone!

Its a great game with what seems like more content

Modders have always improved games better than the devs themselves. Give it time

The magic feels a lot better in 2, but the variety in spells, or lack there of is unfortunate.

​​@@cannedsquasher5923 the only mods for DD1 are graphics and a cheat mod. The engine is so bad there's no gameplay mods to improve the actual gameplay. It's just legitimately just as good and better in other aspects as the sequel.

@@hipcheckboiii1603 Wrong! There are tons of DD2 gameplay overhaul mods to change how the vocations play (e.g 8 skills instead of 4, unique skillsets per weapon for Warfarer, better levitate, mixing movesets across vocations, etc.)There's an incredible Spell Maker mod to create your own spells, an Enemy Randomizer mod to change the enemy variety and sizes of creatures, and true difficulty mods for NG+/endgame which change the stats, attack behaviours and abilities of enemies. Amazing mods are being released and it's barely been out for a month.

@@hipcheckboiii1603 there are gameplay mods for the first one though, like the one allowing warrior to use 6 skills or the one that added an unarmed vocation

The music is from Baldur’s Gate 3?

Yes ​@@ReblazeGaming

expuwlowsion!

FDFQDF

Try augural flare... lol

So true. Problem was that even if you wanted to use other spells you did not have enough slots to use them

@@Fairy-Uvinq augural flare + hagol delete everything save for golems

@@triggerhxppy its incredible lol. That spell is insane

@@ExcessumGamingI kninda disagree I feel with how common camsites are I feel a lot more open to trying new arufd and experimenting, especially since theres lots of great spells and they’re well balanced (fir the most part) so there isn’t a stale meta on what to use.

I keep seeing this. Most of second set of skills were moved to being combos instead of button presses. So they’re still there, you just activate them differently.

@@vee7514they could of done that without reducing the skills. Stop coming up for excuses for Capcom’s but making a true sequel.

​@@robertrainford6754 how is this an excuse?

@@robertrainford6754 skill issues.

​@@vee7514bro for real, people just want to complain, DD2 is an upgrade in pretty much every way, we're really only missing a bitterback isle like mode

They could have even done like the witcher 3's alternate control scheme and made a tab of lb/r1 a skill in itself. 4 skills is very limiting.

Just to further add, when you got games like Final Fantasy 16 having a rather creative way to have multiple skill sets by being also able to assign a Eikon to each one despite only having 2 skills per, you end up with a whooping 6, plus 3 more with the eikon special gimmick or 3 sets of skills which can be swapped quickly in-between to allow DMC level of combat. Just another reason i wont be picking up this game because i already have the `controller gameplay `memory hot-swapping distance` as i would call it (aka you forget the controls are mapped differently) when it comes to Final fantasy 7 rebirth and grand blue fantasy relink where how they have the controls mapped tends to jar me a smidge in some ends. Even if i could remap the controls with some of them. Anyway, i find the first one definitely looks more good where the camera shake feels more wow and its got the camera better zoomed out so you can really see the impact of the spell. While it kind of looks like the latter either looks roughly the same or more static, such as the tornado in DraDog2 feels a smidge more static on ends.@@briancaples5614

Facts everytime I bring this up people mistake the statement as meaning I want more so I can be overpowered or something but in reality I just want access to a fun and diverse moveset.

@@obwolf yup, when a game can’t embrace the goofy, it’s no wonder why it has trouble being a fun game.

If you played warrior in the first game you only hot access to 4 skills and same for daggers technically though you also had the bow that had its skills.

Brontide is the lightning whip. Not the meteors.

Wolfs hunt in packs ... oh wait!

So they say.

I agree, although yeah technically the sorcerer was kind of like this in the first game too because this is the nature of most mage casting focused classes. Still I wish they could have done more with it and not removed spells. (And vocations, mystic Knight)

sorcerer is so mid, shakes head

It's still strong. Augural flare is easily the strongest attack in the game, though it needs a bit of a setup. Very good for wayfarer combos to just have archestaff just to put it up before attacking with something fast. But I feel you, man.

Huuu i dont think so i played with sorcerer and the game was so easy like the dragon didnt had a chance to kill any of my pawns it tooked me like 3 mins or less to kill him..

@@lhenio1845 the strength isn't even the issue. I know that you can nuke enemies easily as the sorcerer, it's just how it feels to play it.

Yup. I don't remember a single song. Unlike the first game I can remember at least a couple

It’s funny because I’ve never heard the new soundtrack. I’ve only used the old one

@@Lust4VAlENTiNE i'll be honest with you, you've already heard the new soundtrack as you are now, it's pretty much nothing

@@djbootymeatlive1484 Ngl sometimes I just sit on the title screen so I can hear the classic Dark Arisen track. It's a shame I heard so much bad about the new soundtrack that I probably won't switch off the OG.

I heard only the orchestral composer from DD1 returned and the other composers are new to composing or something like that

was so fucking excited for this one : (

They kinda did that to everyone

@@bridgerbutler661 Caster vocations were especially affected by that. All the other classes had pretty good skills integrated into the core skills while the same thing cant really be said about the casters, aside from Anodyne on Mage. The elemental diversity in your Skillset that you're effectively able to use is nowhere near as good as it used to be

@@handofgod3278 casters have levitate

Physical vocations have better core skills which a lot came from the equippable skills. Sorcerers and mages do not have these kind of upgrade. Who uses the normal and heavy attacks without flare. They need slots.

Their vocation action is quickspell, but you're right on the other two points. Genuinely upsetting

Disappear or disappointed? 💀

Archer was also ruined with the usable arrows made into skills which can occupy one of the 4 skill slots we have..

@@h3llofademon Honestly, as a Ranger main shooting ten explosives arrows at once in DDDA, I can confidently say that the nerf was much needed. Buying hundreds of explosive arrows is akin to paying Yojimbo in FFX to kill any enemy including the super boss.

MIASMA! 😭EXEQUY! 😭 GRAND GICELLLLL Huhuuuuhh 😭

@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 As a ranger player, gotta agree, especially since how strong explosive shot still is. As a ranger and archer primary in DD1 the thing that mattered to me the most was the kickboxing stuff to achieve the fantasy of a highly acrobatic archer rather then only stand stationary and fire like a generic dragon age game.

You've got it backwards

It does it just has a shorter range I think. Cause I've seen enemies get yoinked inside it's.

But if you say this to the DD2 haters they'll still find some way to tell you you're wrong

it's less cool.. why does it matter that ot makes "more sense" ? it's a fantasy rpg not a realistic physics simulation there's plenty of things that make no sense but as long as they are cool we don't care.

@@birbboi2986 There are a lot less realistic fantasy games out there. This one has relative permadeath, environmental physics, ARPG combat, it's definitely geared closer towards realism than fantasticism

@@birbboi2986 More cool in my opinion since it's a pretty unique spin on the classical meteor spell. Do you know how many games let you call tiny rock from orbit as the ultimate fire spell? It's pretty much all of them that have fire magic. At least this one does something different with it. It's all ascetics anyways. The result is still "magical carpet bomb" so who really cares. I just thought it was a neat little visual addition instead of the game going "they just appear."

@@Tonatheos i still don't see how a rock mortar is more realistic than meteors falling

Lack of mystic knight saved me $70

@@DD-to5ig magick spearhand is an awesome class with tons of tools... instead of mystic knight, which is buff your party and smack your own balls in front of the enemy

@@morris_c0de463 mystic spasmhand can never replace the shieldboss.

Bring me the horizon- can you feel my heart

I thought it was Randy marsh from south park

You do just not as noticeable

DDDA only had 6 skill for most classes and warrior only got 3. DD2 has 4 skills per class and a lot of skills (Thousand Kisses, Tusk Toss, Heal) were incorporated into the core of the kits. DD2's combat is an improvement over the first if you can get over the 2 inch wall that was having 6 spells.

@Ghimel8 Lmao smuuuuuuuug hahahaha I still played 76 hours. Good game, I know what would increase my enjoyment, don't need that nonsense 🤣

@@slayer31397 76 hours in, looks like you forgave it then. Yeah my bad though, I'm smug af.

I am probably going to have to do the same, I am on ng + and there is no need for a meteor every time a goblin attacks lmao. Just hit it with the stick and itll die bro

@@premier48 exactly

Sorcerer never had 8 spells.

lmao anything is better than that

starfield wasn't an improvement though..

Oblivion "Upgrade" Skyrim "Upgrade" Starfield "FUCK GO BACK" Just reminded me of that meme template

Starfield is basically Fallout 4 with mods ​@@lred1383
