    Awesome video.
    Just a few notes for those that are interested,
    1. In this video, everything other than the four classes you can choose at the beginning of the game are referred to as advanced vocations, but this isnt necessarily true. Warrior and Sorcerer are advanced vocations, but Mystic Spearhand, Magic Archer, and the Trickster vocations are all hybrid vocations.
    While this doesn't mean much for you, it does mean something for the creation of your pawn, as pawns can only be basic and advanced vocations, not hybrid.
    2. In the first game, you gained stats upon leveling up depending on which vocation you were when you leveled up. For example, if you were a sorcerer when you leveled up, you would gain more magic (offense) when leveling up. If you were a warrior when leveling up, you would gain a lot of health and physical defense.
    This has been changed for DD2. When you switch vocations, and you will be able to switch often, your stats will change as if you had been that class since level one. This will encourage you to play other vocations as you can take passive skills you learn from other vocations and use them on your preferred vocation.

    • @murphieslaw6932
      @murphieslaw6932 2 місяці тому +3

      Very interesting. While I liked the ability to min/max while planning a build, some things just didn´t sit that well with me.
      For example Mage was bad early game, stat-wise, and could gimp your char/pawn. Magic Archer´s magic damage growth sucked, so I felt forced to add in a lot of Sorcerer levels to up the class to good damage levels...
      In the end I think it is a great change, allowing to just hunt for vocation passives as much as you like - and try out any classes you want to try. 10/10 change to the formula.

    In the first game, vocations leveled quickly and we know in DD2 that vocation augments are still in the game, which are passive skills that can be earned by leveling up vocations but can be used on any vocation once unlocked. So it might be advisable to spend a little time in most vocations to grab some of the augments.

    Wayfarer is my go to for this game. From a gameplay perspective I do like characters that go for versatility and options over extreme specialization. From a roleplay perspective I think it fits the Arisen the most. Having this preternatural skill at combat and survival thanks to their own immense will and the Dragon turning them.

      Look at it from a logical standpoint: If you go Archer or Mage, you basically completely miss out on what I believe is the best part of the game: melee combat and climbing enemies. Following this logic, you should go fighter, warrior, thief or mystic spearhand (or a combination: warfarer). Personally, I think Warrior will become very frustrating at some point with all of its attacks being really slow and weighty. My choice will be the Warfarer with the Fighter, Thief and (if possible to combine 3 instead of just 2) Mystic Spearhand.

    I'm planning to start with Mage, I've always been a mage guy in RPG's and such. Archers are always cool too, imo, so I'm definitely leaning towards upgrading to Magick Archer. That said, Mystic Spearhand looks REALLY cool as well, with that DMC-style combat, and I do love me hack n slash games a lot. Though my argument for myself against that, is that I've played plenty of those. Haven't really had any opportunity to play a Magick Archer type style. I may or may not dabble in Warfarer to get a taste of both and compare them more closely.

    Magick Archer looks like a straight upgrade to Archer. What reason would there be to not pick it if you want to use bows?
    Because I personally don't enjoy what Magick Archer looks like but I love bows and am looking for a good reason to stick to the basic Archer without ruining my effectiveness regarding bow gameplay.
    Also, do you "ruin" an advanced Vocation by starting with a Vocation that has no ties to it? I.e. Mystic Spearhand, judging by the logo, is a Fighter-Mage Vocation mix. Will I have to start with either fighter or Mage in order to make Mystic Spearhand be good, or will I get the same end product if I start with Archer instead?

    • @kientran92
      @kientran92 2 місяці тому +1

      For your 1st point, if it's anything like the first DD game, there are skills that are only available to Archer and not Magick Archer (MA). DD1 Archer can also use special arrows that explode or poison enemies, MA can not. But MA have skills that deal ice, lightning or holy damage.
      As for the 2nd, in DD1 your stat gain is dependent on your current class (things like HP, stamina, magic damage, physical damage etc.) so there is an element of minmaxing. But doesn't seem to be the case in DD2, so yes you get the same end result.

    Noob question. If I want my main pawn to be a Scorcerer in the end, is there any benefit for that main pawn to start out as a Mage rather than a Fighter ?
    For example, will changing the main pawn from the Mage to a Sorcerer have a more natural change because of the skills/abilities earned prior with the Mage? Or is there no real benefit so it's fine to have Fighter as main pawn than later change it to Sorcerer ?

      Think about your stats too. If you want to deal the most dmg at level 200, you’re gonna have to level up using certain vocations from 1 to 10, then 10 to 50, etc. level up the smart way.

    You've left out one crucial detail: how are attribute points distributed upon levelling in DD2? For those without context: in the original DD, your attributes levelled automatically, but HOW MUCH they levelled up depended entirely on which vocation you were playing AT THE MOMENT YOU LEVELLED UP. In other words, you could take a ton of levels in Mage/Sorcerer and then change vocation to warrior, sure - but all those levels in mage meant you got a lot of mana, but very little health & edurance - meaning you'd be a much, much weaker warrior if you did that than someone who had played warrior throughout. Also, earlier levels gave you much greater stat gains than later levels. The trick in dragon's dogma was to figure out what you wanted to play eventually, and then swap vocations at critical level breakpoints to optimise your stats. I don't know if DD2 follows the same premise, but we'd better find out before choosing our starting vocations.

    • @Shnauften

      No, they've confirmed that stats are locked in now. So if you switch from a mage to a warrior, you will have the stats as if you were a warrior from the start. You can actually switch at will without planning your build in advance now.

    • @Dirgelirge
      @Dirgelirge 2 місяці тому +32

      It's different now. Stats change when you switch classes now. For example, if you start as a fighter and get to level 15 as one, if you switch to a mage your stats will be optimized to be as if you went through those 15 levels as a mage. So switching from a fighter to a mage will give you full mage stats.
      You can switch to any vocation now without being weakened due to vocation specific stat growth.

    On the warfairer; the symbol has 3 weapon types on it and gameplay has shown swapping between 3 weapons. So its safe to say 3, but who knows maybe you'll only start with 2 and the 3 is a master skill. The drawback is lower base stats, you have to use situational strength and cross class combos to make it shine. Not an endgame build either since we know stats don't work the same as the first game and stats get respec when you swap vocations.

      You'll probably like it. It's important to note that only dagger based classes will likely have access to a dedicated dodge roll. Other classes will still have access to invincibility frames in some attacks, like foresight slash from monster hunter. Aside from that dodging involves running or literally jumping out of range. Or blocking of course if you have a shield. Your pawn will also follow after you. In the first game it was particularly annoying, if you smashed all the crates and looted them your pawns would start doing it on reflex, taking all the goodies. They'll also do this if you attack more weakpoints, or use healing items whenever you take damage, exploiting elemental weaknesses. Just in case you aren't too familiar with the first game. It's a bit to get used to, not 1:1 like mh but you'll be able to tell quickly that you're playing a Capcom game

Ideally this would be someone wielding 1H-sword and using timed parries/blocks in combat with maybe some dodging or small sidestepping mechanic (So the witcher 3). From what I can gather Thief is all about dodging and slashing a bunch, and the fighter is probably the closest to what I am looking for, timed blocks and counters, except I have to do it with a shield, I wish I could just use a 1-H sword with no shield for RP reasons but it is what it is.

      They have said that warfarer has less stats than the actual classes, look at it as a mid stats in all, so it has higher than the lowest of classes but lower than the highest, also it is limited on the skills it can have from each vocation and can only switch between a few weapons at a time in combat

    I´m courious how they did the "no lock on" combat with mouse & keyboard. Like the souls games, were camera rotates arround your charakter and you have to press forward and attak or block becaus you attack in the direction your char is looking. Or like Remant from the Ashes, where the camera also rotates arround your charakter, but you attak in the direction where your camera is looking. So you don´t have to press forward simultaneously. Or like good oldshool 3rd person games, where your charakter rotates with the camere, seeing your char allways from behind like BloodRayne or the original Rune.
    But for me it looks like the charakter have an (slight?) auto aim (wich was also mentioned in some previews), at least with some classes, and more like a Batman or Assassins Creed style combat system, wich would be a bummer. Neverseless we will see on Friday, and im exited to explore the game world.
    Referring to 1:25 - fighter class.
    As an PC and M+K gamer, we play the Souls games without auto aim - and ideally every game. We don´t have to rely on the pesky "focus" bs!
