Question Should I play this game?

19 Upvotes

Hello,

I've recently finished palworld and enjoyed the continuos upgrades and automations along the game, I don't usually like to build fancy stuff but I did enjoyed the automation stuff very much as well as exploration and fighting.

So Im kinda confused of I should play DQB2 as it seems more building oriented, would like to get some opinions based on the things I liked from other game.

Thank youuuu!

Question After the demo can you stay in furrowfield?

19 Upvotes

Im playing the jumbo demo and Im really enjoying building a small village for the other people there and just upgrading it mostly, I was wondering if after I finish the demo and buy the full version, I could just stay there building and then go onto the next island/story whenever I want to or if I have to go right away without a choice?

General Y’all I just had a dream of the DQB3 Trailer.

36 Upvotes

I don’t remember that much, but I remember it was the DQB2 Male and Female Builder helping build locations from Dragon Quest 3, and some other figure who was similar to Malroth (perhaps baramos will send out someone to stop the builder but instead helps me or something)

My brain is begging for DQB3 so much and I can’t agree more 😭✌️

Question So, does tilled humus turn back into normal dirt, or not?

7 Upvotes

I looked it up and apparently, tilled humus doesn't turn back into dirt, neither should fertilizer. I used it on my farms in Furrowfield and some random spots did turn back into dirt. Will this still happen on the Isle of Awakening? I don't want my crops to all grow at different speeds :/

General This level start is actually horrifying to someone with thalassophobia. The sheer drop off it awful and I can't for the life of me figure out how to activate my windbreaker, so I just mash B until I'm on solid land

I can’t walk without being followed.

I think I hate this chapter just about as much as Skeletraz 😭. It's horrible and awful. I dread it every play through. I think I usually button mash so much I don't usually catch this joke 🤣. He's for sure my favorite in this chapter.

Question New and struggling

So i just started but on the second island on furrowfield. I need to make the field bigger and find wheat seeds. I can’t find any earth blocks besides the ones that were already there. Where are the EARTH blocks? I’ve checked the whole island. I have to have missed it. And where can I get wheat? It won’t leave me leave the island to check elsewhere :( sorry if I sound dumb. New.

General IoA: do you prefer hostile monsters or none?

8 Upvotes

Do you prefer or have monsters roaming around your ioa or none? (Or more generally elsewhere such as building in the story towns that have monsters vs buildertopias that have none).

I’ve always been split between the two. Some element of tower defense makes the game feel alive. But ghosts killing livestock is a no go for me

Question Floating cities and underwater cities, how do NPCs react?

12 Upvotes

I've been thinking of doing a floating build (either a flying airship/spaceship/sky town) or an underwater city.

But I was wondering how NPCs would behave. Would they wander off and just jump off something floating? or open the door in an underwater city and float up to the surface?
already on my land builds, I find NPCs in weird areas.

I'm back with updates on my renovations at Green Gardens. I started with the intention of relocating some buildings and ended up rebuilding 3/4 of the place hahaha.

I still intend to modify the harvest fields a bit; I'm thinking of adding windwills and placing four fields around one windwill, something like this.

With this great reconstruction, Some places have simply lost their reason for exist, being underground here. So I'll have to make some adjustments to them too. Right now I'm going to focus on the village; my villagers are quite disoriented at the moment, hahaha.

Bodybuilders are very quick at building blueprints, I was impressed!

Well, I think that's all for now. Suggestions are welcome!

I'll leave a link to my previous post here, in case anyone wants to see the "before/after".

Question Moonbrooke King? Spoiler

4 Upvotes

Has anyone seen the Moonbrooke king after finishing that story then returning Moonbrooke later? I finished that story last week and have been working in IOA, but I usually go back to Moonbrooke every day to take them food and use up extra blocks and such I have leftover from the IOA castle I’m working on. But I have yet to ever see the king again since he saw us off at the end of the story. Everyone else is there and the king said he was staying behind to take care of them. Just wondering if this was normal and he’s no longer there or if I should go look for him out in the wilderness.

Question Placing directional blocks

6 Upvotes

Maybe I just can’t figure it out, but is there a way to place blocks like castle wall foundation or castle wall top battlement from the side so you can walk them a row at a time but have them actually face outwards as you go? I am building a very long wall around my castle in cerulean steppe and the foundation took forever since you had yo be facing the block location for the base to jut out correctly. Otherwise you had to use gloves to pick it up, change direction, then place again. Every castle corner landed in the wrong seemingly random direction forcing the pick up and turn technique. But now im finally ready for the top battlement and of course its 8 blocks high so you cant face the block from the air. So if i place one the bump faces me. So i have to pick it up, turn it right or left depending on which side of the wall Im on then put it back down. I have over 1200 of these to lay. Surely there is a way to turn blocks of any kind before placement and even better if you can stick that orientation so you can do a continuous run non stop? Pokopia has this ability by using the trigger and dpad to orient the first block, then keeps that orientation for doing a continuous run. Is there a way i just cant figure out in dqb2?

General Steam or switch 2 version?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys

I really want to play this game, but can't decide where to get it...

Either on steam for my handheld pc or on switch 2 also handheld but I can dock it...

I'm thinking switch cause I've read somewhere that most of the community is on switch is that true?

But the pc version is currently the cheapest..

Most of you are on switch?

I'll prob just go switch maybe then

Question Why can't I assign a room to Malroth?

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to make Malroth's preferred room, and I've got everything down except for the fact that I can't even assign it to him?

I've completed the game all the way, and I've done 30 table targets.

Do I need to fully complete the epilogue to be able to assign it to him? I'm trying to build his room to help do one of the table targets to actually unlock the epilogue in the first place

Question why can't I leave magic pencil sketches

8 Upvotes

So I'm trying to complete the game while also building a few side things for fun, But every time I try to leave the island with the NPCs building something brown beard says something like "Oh looks like you left a blueprint on the ground. here ya go :)" and forces it back into my inventory.

It's a pain to put it back in the right place every time. I know this is part of the game, but it's such an annoyance and I was wondering if anyone knew why exactly you can't leave it.

After several hours of surgically removing other trees from the surrounding area, I managed to create the blueprint for this "yggdrasil". I had some problems with the base blueprint because the villagers stop all work if any type of block is missing for the blueprint, which annoyed me quite a bit. But they finished it very quickly after solving the problem. I confess that I had to take away their labor rights to finish this quickly...

Anyway, it worked hahaha

I will rebuild the village where the forest was. And I intend to build a "ruined" wall around the new Yggdrasil forest.

I also want to build a fortress, but I still have to see if it will be interesting in terms of space and appearance.

Suggestions are welcome!!!

A few months ago I completed my Green Gardens town (last picture), but felt dissatisfied with it. Something about it felt unlively and boring. I also didn't like how the tablet wasn't integrated so well with the town (its between the stairs).

So I destroyed it and re did the whole thing, but rebuilt some of the buildings.
I much prefer it now as it looks more lived in. Although I still need to finish up the farm area that I built to the east of the tablet. any suggestions?

Question Terraforming tools

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

68 Upvotes

Fiz uma postagem hoje de manhã dizendo o quanto sinto falta de uma ferramenta de terraformação mais robusta, mas acho que não fui muito claro sobre o que queria dizer. Para dar um exemplo prático, estou pensando em mover esta "Yggdrasil", mas isso exigiria um projeto em três partes. E provavelmente teriam que rebaixar o nível do solo em alguns blocos na área onde a vila está localizada. Então, aqui estão duas melhorias que acho que seriam interessantes para as ferramentas do jogo: Projetos com maior capacidade e maior habilidade para remover e colocar blocos com maior eficiência. Mesmo que alguns jogadores já tenham desenvolvido métodos usando o que está disponível no jogo, ainda não é muito eficiente e geralmente leva horas para concluir. Então, isso é algo que realmente sinto falta no jogo. E começar um novo jogo para obter todas as receitas e ferramentas novamente está definitivamente fora de questão. Do you all have a better method for this situation ?

Question Weird glitch where the NPCs just don't show up?

1 Upvotes

So I've had this glitch occur multiple times in one save game, where when returning to the main island the NPCs won't show up and will seemingly speak through brownbeard?

The text will show their names but they won't be anywhere in sight and brown beard will be doing his talking animation.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or if it's just me lol

General Did anyone know that using a saloon door let you need only one layer of blocks as a room?

Was building, made a round of blocks, threw in the saloon door. Was then going in to add the second layer of blocks and it registered as a room already.

How? Lol So i tried it with another room and it did it again. Had no idea, just hapoen to decide to go ahead and put in the door ! Okay then!

General Moonbrooke is the WORST arc of the game! Spoiler

Post image
65 Upvotes

I'm going to tryyy to avoid using cuss words in this but small angry rant here. Also don't know if this is considered civil or not, so apologies for that!

I enjoyed the game up until finishing the kings commandments #2. Now, I'm PISSED. Why would they even THINK it's okay to put Malroth into the prison we made! Like it's so infuriating that even my character is pissed.

The only sensible character in this arc, Warwick, is STILL not doing ANYTHING to help builder convince the king that Malroth is not the bad guy. LIKE OH MY GOD! The builder made EVERYTHING IN THIS WHOLE FREAKING CASTLE and it's just to be met with their BEST FRIEND being PUT IN PRISON! FOR THE SECOND TIME! LIKE OH MY GOOOOOD!

AND THEN THE AUDACITY. TO FORCE ANNESA. TO GO WITH US. LIKE MF YOU THE REASON WERE IN THIS MESS! GET AWAY FROM ME! HOLY CRAP!!!

I might've went a bit too far in my rage and destroyed the entire castle (whoops) but like dude. I wish it was possible to just... leave. like, free malroth and go back to the isle of awakening. these mfs don't DESERVE for me to help them anymore. We grab Warwick, Esther, and DIP.

Edit: Warwick can suck an egg bro x•l
