Hyper Autistic Warfarer Analysis – [Dragon’s Dogma 2]

I interpret the stat stuff very differently. Did you ever play DDO? Each vocation was its own thing. Leveling Sorcerer didn't give you Warrior stats when you swapped, but it also didn't cripple you like in DDDA where you're stuck with those magic attributes. It's quite possible that each vocation has its own independent level rather than overall character level. Why else would they say "base stats" instead of "stat growth" for a vocation you can't start with? Stat system is the one thing I'm worried about still. It was so bad in the first game… and being limited to one save slot again could be terrible if you simply want to change weapons for a while without starting a whole new playthrough because it would screw your character growth permanently.

Side note. I guess it might actually be possible that Warfarer is the new singular starting class (I've been avoiding spoilers idk), but that just makes it even weirder that they would say "base stats" if you have no other option… which still supports my idea that swapping vocations swaps out their attributes as well. I honestly don't see any other way this information makes sense.

Seems like they might bind Warfarer weapon swap to L1+ a face button like X, leaving you with 1 less slot for skills in each weapon class. Or maybe even have something like L1+ X/O, giving you access to either weapon at any given time, but taking away 2 skill slots for each weapon type. Just a thought, and hopefully not what happens.

I never thought DDDA had such an emphasis on min max your stats lol i just played the game as each character and picked my favorite pretty crazy

I think warfarer will be a locked quest and that the condition to unlock it will be to master 3 vocations (which you can then equip all at once). The more vocations you master, the more weapons you can swap through and equip. (still keeping the idea that 3 is the limit) Maybe another condition will be to have finished the game once ? I saw that the litteral translation from this class from japanese was "Arisen" so that might be a lead.

What if there're 3 components to base stats in DD2, the character stats and equipment stats same as DD1, but then also there's vocation stats which get added on top

it would be pretty simple to think that warfarer will have a unique vocation action on all of the weapon hotbars that just swaps to the next weapon in rotation or just a complete independent button

I’m concerned for your mental health when this game launches, I expect videos on every little thing!

Why’d you keep the call in lmfao

I think ur the only chick I've ever enjoyed a gaming video from…fuck keep it up you know ur shit.

I was thinking about how they'd go about fixing the "level sorc for 190 levels if you want to play magick archer" bullshit in the first game, and I'm sure they will fix it because no proper developer would leave it in after seeing how much people fixated on leveling tables and stats. But it's hard because the whole "vocations level you up differently" thing was pretty cool in concept and kinda unique.

A couple of possibilities:
Vocations add to your base stats: dumb and unsexy. This means with a high level cap vocations stop mattering after a while.
Vocations have stat multipliers: smart but still unsexy. This means vocation stat bonuses stay relevant throughout the whole game at least.

But what are the base stats then, if vocations don't affect your leveling scheme?

Is it race based, which ironically would be most unbased option, forcing people to play classes linked with the proper race? This sounds really bad.
Are we going to be able to spend stat points on level up? Yeah, right. Doesn't feel like a DD thing at all.

Are base stats just numbers that grow with each level, modified by the equipped vocation? Like, by level X all characters have 50 in all stats, but then the vocation multiplies those values?
I think this is what they're most likely to be going for, and you would never even see the raw stats because you can't unequip vocations. I don't like this much tbh. This means you never have any reason to start a new game, since a dude with 200 fighter levels could become a master sorcerer by killing rabbits for a hour and not lose any fighter effectiveness in the process.
Seeing as we get 999 levels, assuming this is gonna be in the final game, I think they're going for a single character experience, which would be supported by this design choice.
Tbh the first game wanted you to play on a single character too, considering how you couldn't have 2 save slots and had to manually back up your shit.

But this highlights another issue. If level really goes up to 999 then it might mean the game will scale the monsters to player level, cause you know they aint doing areas with a thousand levels of difference between them. I REALLY FUCKING HOPE the scaling will be between NG+ cycles, cause if they're putting skyrim scaling in my DD i'm flying over to japan and creating a self defense situation. Almost positive it's gonna be between NG+ cycles though. Almost.

So yeah, base stats increase linearly for all characters, vocations multiply them, thus allowing you to switch vocations and become as good as you would have been had you played that vocation the whole time. It's the cleanest and most streamlined solution, betting my left nut they go with that.

Yeah the perfect block animation might be for clarity reasons. Cus in dd 1 is more realistic animation but the one in dd2 is going to be easier to read in the heat of battle

19:30 Character doing a parry skill can stop fucking a golem's fist. He is doing that with a brute force, ofc shield would go 180 degree LOL

Just wait, I'm getting frustrated with the ocean of info coming out without the actual game to confirm anything. Please ppl let this be the last video and please Capcom just try to contain some info before the game comes out. I feel like I played the game already. No offense to the creator or Capcom but I love this franchise too much and my hype meter can't handle anymore info.

I have genuinely been waiting for this for a while, hope you keep up the content uploads when the game comes out

BOW TRICK SWORD SORCERER GUN ROYAL GUARD

Jesus level 999 I better get my infinite level If I do that shit goddamn

Yes thank the lord. This is the closest thing I'll get to an assassin with a two handed weapon.

really seems like R1 and L1 should swap.

I'm going to combine Warfarer with multiple instances of Warfarer so I can be every vocation simultaneously

Idk if it’s just me but damn either you haven’t uploaded in a min or my notifications are off. 😢

glad to hear your take on the new information we got

Good response to the "realism" of putting your shield behind you so that your body can protect it from getting scratched by enemy weapons lol

This may not be the way it works at all, but my first thought is that the perfect block there is timing-sensitive so that the animation leaves you wide open if you miss the window. If you go too early, your whole body is open to get hit with that animation. That's just a gameplay explanation for the animation, though

Spear hand, Great sword, and dagger/bow depending on my pawn and the homie pawns as well
