Watching the floor get wiped with my carcass in Dragon’s Dogma. In hard mode.
On the upside, in between all the retrying, i amassed 1.5 mil gold coins from just running around the map exploring and killing goblins and bandits.
This is one of those games where side quests get locked out by advancing the main story. I’m at a point where the main quest sends me right, but the side quests send me left, so I went the long way around.
Now with hard mode, the exp gains are doubled from normal mode and mobs drop gold. I don’t know if it’s how it’s supposed to work, but all the weak goblins keep dropping 10k bags. I don’t mind it, because it definitely isn’t enough anyway.
My defense only matters for weak mobs, in case they gank me while I’m dodging the big guys and they tend to do that, wolves especially. The big guys mostly one-shot me, so I might as well run naked around them.
Might be different at higher levels, but I’m a small time explorer for now.
I’m not sure I’m going to finish the story, but for now it’s fun. We’ll see how it develops further on.
Is this the original dragon’s dogma? I eventually gave up on side quests because it seemed like a lot of them were slightly buggy and random. As an example, I looked up one ‘questline’ involving a merchant that I was trying to figure out, and it just seemed like there were so many ways to mistakenly fail it, and only one little moment to actually do it without locking it out. And then there are the escort/long-way-away-fetch-quests that just killed my enjoyment.
I still haven’t beaten the main storyline. I found most of my fun was randomly encountering a big mob and fighting it. The ballistas were also great fun that I returned to a few times.
Yeah, no it’s Dark Arisen. I know about the merchant quest, but use outside guides because a lot of stuff is missable. Outside of gameplay, the questing is a mess and escorts are still a pain.
I mean, I was escorting a dude and a chimera showed up, so the dude went right at it just as it was spewing out poison. Like what the hell?
I enjoy the exploration, the combat, the skills and some bits of the lore. But it has some bad parts for sure.

For all its flaws, one thing I absolutely loved in that game was flinging people and goblins off cliffs and walls. So satisfying.
