While that's true, the game has a ridiculous ratio of coomer mods comparatively. A good modding scene barely exists.
That's what I was forced to do. It seemed like there were only a couple pages of mods, most of them outdated. Thankfully, I found a few that have improved the gameplay tremendously, but I expected so much more.
I've found the steam workshop to be more useful than the nexus. Most of the properly raunchy shit isn't on there either.
Expect a lot of Chinks on the workshop. There is an actual 2B class mod and several Touhou class mods on the workshop (I made the mistake of bringing my Miko to Cove only to get infected with sea-AIDS).
in terms of vanilla balance and non-pitch black runs, cove is the second easiest region in the entire game, barring crit horseshittery, the trick to fishmen formations is to simply disintegrate the first two slots as fast as reasonably possible, since unlike many other frontliners, they're consistent in just slicing your first two ranks, if it's hybrid formations get someone that can pull the fish in ranks 3/4 into the first two (occultist/shieldbreaker are the safest ones, bounty is a meme), and for a region that you should never really set foot in, is the weald since it has no rewards, the hardest hitters in the game are there, which includes the strongest champion special (the virago)
The mods I'm using includes:
mmm, gotta be honest with this and say that i'm not really a fan of custom enemies, it's not exactly easy to trust workshoppers with not making things a fubar slog, but at the same time the vanilla game becomes a bit too easy if it doesn't scam you with constant critting and general bad rolls.
Oh yes, Courtyard is still ass. Even when you are experienced in the game, Courtyard never fails to be the worst dungeon in the game by far. In regards to my modded runs, it does get more cbt compared to vanilla but can still be alleviated with planning like the usual DD flair. Bulldozed with lepers? Nah, revamped Sunken Crew will instead have the Anchorman push your frontliner to the back instead of chaining him (since that is fucking buggy). And of course there are the other enemies I have mentioned. Swine Scavenger is absolute cbt on Warrens.
It's because the internet is gonna horny and the people most likely to create mods for DD are the ones able to make their own assets (I.E. artists).
so activate neurons basically, reason why i specifically speak of leper as a means to see if i have to use my brain, is because he's the hardest hitting mofo in the entire game, struggling with him (if i don't get critted every turn) means to pull the a-game, an example that you bring up is the sunken bros, is the new push move gonna pierce 180%+ move resist? or is it gonna make use of some shuffle-esque fuckery where no matter what i do i can eat a dick?
I've been modding games for a long time. I'm very, very aware of the prevalence of adult mods. My complaint was, again, the ratio. Usually you see a balance of adult and neutral mods on most games, but the neutral mods for DD1 are almost nonexistent in contrast — at least on Nexus.
okay buddy. Time to stop browsing /pol/.
Maybe he should do a specific one of Lovecraft's poems. You know the one I mean.
I can generally get through a run on Darkest with one or two deaths (not counting the obvious two at the end). I find Warrens is trivialized by bleed teams. Even the apex villain on Champion, the Skiver, is weak compared to the Champion villains on other levels, like even the Bone Bearer in Ruins, the horrendous Squiffy Ghast in Cove, or the absolute worst, the Hateful Virago in Weald.
Marvin is indisputably the best on character mods and a chink (iirc). Unless he's trooned out I'd prefer a chink to most of these fucking fools.
The Caregiver's Convention event, that can get you 30,000 Gold of quirk lock-ins or another 30,000 to get rid of bad locked-in quirks, by just collecting three items isn't a reward? Dungeon choice is always based on what the best trinkets are and what heirlooms you need.
I didn't know he was Chinese. His class art is gold but balance is questionable. Falconer is pretty much powercrept by Arbalist/Muskateer, Lamia and Thrall are his best ones, Wraith is just Bounty Hunter but without Rank 3 DPS and a fuckload of bleed/stuns, Seraph immediately consumes mark upon strike (which is pretty much a death sentence on mark-based teams) and Sisters is especially finnicky with how to use.
Anything can be a criticism-proof shield when you have the internet forum equivalent of a military grade firearm and blast away everyone who isn't there to push a narrative via mass censorship and spamming permabans. Basically reddit jannies when given the reigns to any community outside of reddit with behind the scenes bullshit going down.
i gotta ask how as well, cloaker man already brought it up, you're not wrong in saying that bleed teams have a blast of a time staying in there since a cerberus setup is the best i can think of (3 hounds + 1 flage), but warrens has plenty of enemy setups that can get you stuck with diseases and has half of the enemies as god to honest hard hitters.
okay, that's one, but getting those items is another story, what if you end up on a losing gamble here? this is the hardest region in the game, you need an equal reward for it, and as far as i remember outside of this, the weald has no rewards worth the trip:
