“Inspired” by the Square-Enix putting their foot in their mouth thread, I thought it’d be interesting to make a little thread about indie games. People always talk about wanting to try different, cheaper titles, but with how hard it is to get good gaming news and the state of advertisement/marketing, word of mouth tends to...
I’ve been seeing it in several places, as comments and replies, unrelated to whatever it’s about, and always from users from discuss.online. Perhaps someone trying to use bots that the instance hasn’t removed yet.
It tends to get shortened to “Trans”, though I could see specifying shortly with something like “Transsex” or “Transgen” for more precise abbreviation.
There’s also black-grey-white-purple, or in direct terms, the Asexual flag, the one you mentioned being for Aromantic. There’s also a specific flag for both combined, or “Aroace”, because you can be one, the other, or both at the same time.
Yeah, that pretty much sums up how it should be, and it would be great if more people understood that point. That you don’t have to like or enjoy what someone else does, yet you can still have acceptance for them enjoying what safely makes them happier, rather than rejecting things for being different than what’s perceived as “normal”.
Rings at a very basic level tend to be moons that could be, or could have been, if they were higher in orbit such that gravity wouldn’t tear the moon apart. They can also be from moons or even planets colliding, the debris in the aftermath forming the rings, which if not too low in orbit, could reform into a moon as well, which seems likely to be how our own moon formed.
Besides the unlimited use ferrystone, which doesn’t work in bitterblack isle, that was added to the first game later, the fast traveling works pretty much the exact same.
If anything, there’s more fast travel options in Dragon’s Dogma 2 thanks to the ox carts which let you skip time until you arrive, or get ambushed, which lets you continue once you clear the ambush. And that’s just from well under a few hours of my time in game.
Also in the significantly less than 24 hours I’ve had, rift crystals, the currency they’re selling for “convenience”, are quite easy to get, and you absolutely never need to spend them on pawns, just drop the max pawn level to your own level or under and they’re free to use.
I’ve already gotten enough to do a full appearance change, another thing they’re selling for “convenience”, without specifically trying to get them, just having fun playing the game, exploring, and completing quests.
And the tents? They aren’t consumable unless maybe they get broken from ambushes, which I have yet to have occur after over 5 uses of the cheapest tent, likely because I clear the area around me first. All that’s affected is weight, which becomes less of a problem the more you play regardless.
Wakestones? If you’re dying, you’re not prepared or ready enough, come back later, it’s really that simple. I’ve already gotten a wakestone shard randomly, which you combine a few to get a full wakestone, which seems way faster than the first game given the much larger scale of this one. Not to mention that the ones you can buy as DLC are limited in that you can only buy 5 total, ever, but likely you can get endless amounts later in the game.
The rift incense? The one offered is the actual worst one available, it’s random, as opposed to the pre-set ones you can get in game.
Even the rift crystals you can only buy a limited amount for “convenience” when you can get unlimited just for playing the game.
I’m sorry if I went off topic and on an extended reply, just a bit frustrated that I’ve been seeing tons of people spreading outright wrong and incorrect information about basic parts of the game. I’ve played both games now and gladly will clear up a ton of stuff like that. It’s one thing to criticize the microtransactions themselves accurately for what they are, and another thing entirely to lie out of ignorance just to have more to complain about.
Ah yes, gotta love seeing Captain Vor invading other realities just to monologue another time before the cutting in half cycle continues as it always has and always will.
