At this time everyone knows what this game does right, I'm replaying the game only for BBI and I have a list of small issues that slowly annoyed me into hating this game. The first time I played DDDA my only complaints were only enemy variety, warrior having only 3 skill slots for some reason. Now regarding BBI: -In the first chamber with a prisoner gorecyclops, there's a skeleton mage casting spells from a place I can't reach, and besides my only pawn being a mage she can't cast spells on him from the exact same range, I was probably in range for throwblasts (which I didn't bought yet) but even then, "you can't do anything to this guy bc you don't have throwblasts" it's not fun at all, and fun is the keyword Crapcom probably missed when developing this game, but it's ok since the skel literally killed himself jumping off the ledge because the AI is very good, thumbs up! -When the Gazer gets staggered, the cinematic camera stops the charging of arc of deliverance, that alone nearly made me unninstall, Crapcom literally takes away my highest damage output for no reason. -Since I innocently thought the DLC would not bring the exact same enemies but recolored and sometimes resized, I continued my journey, after encountering the exact same enemies for the billionth time, and defeating another skeleton mage which possesses a dragon (maybe this fight was intended to be a joke), I've finally met death in the pitch dark sewers, and guess what, my pawn obviously died to the hitkill attack after I saved her ass from the sleep spell, and then the first knockdown on death sent it flying off a cliff, yes, I killed death by mishima traditions. Good riddance, I don't want to fight a boss which has like 2 moves. -After having a good laugh at death's, I finnaly met the living armor, which I thought would be a really good fight If it wasn't immune to physical damage, and me not having my pawn, a scroll, or a magic weapon could do nothing about it. I really could just use a liftstone and go through everything again, hope that my pawn don't run towards death again (which respawned btw), but at this point I feel like too much waste of time, prioritizing preparation and knowledge checks rather than skill expression and adapting mid fight it's just lame to me, they could have literally just placed a special fire somewhere so you can enchant your weapon, or let you enchant weapons with tomes or scrolls, but that would be too much fun for me, I don't think they can do it.

Definitely one of my favourites. Played through this one several times. The story is absolute rubbish but the gameplay is great. Ignore DD2 unless it goes on sale - it's a downgrade in multiple ways.

good rpg thats let down by confusing mechanics
