#Scum map farm trial#
At the same time, a seemingly trivial incident from Alice's past resurfaces and takes on gigantic proportions, leading the Goodwins far from Lizzie's death into a maze of guilt and doubt culminating in a harrowing court trial and the family's shattering downfall. Her neighbor's daughter Lizzie drowns in the farm's pond, and Alice - whose volatility and unmasked directness keep her on the outskirts of acceptance - becomes the perfect scapegoat. She absentmindedly steals a minute alone that turns into ten: time enough for a devastating accident to occur. On this particular day, Emma has started the morning with a violent tantrum, her little sister Claire is eating pennies, and it is Alice's turn to watch her neighbor's two small girls as well as her own children.
But these days, as Alice is all too aware, her elder daughter Emma is prone to inexplicable fits of rage, her husband Howard distrusts her maternal competence, and Prairie Center's tight-knit suburban community shows no signs of warming to "those hippies who think they can run a farm." A loner by nature, Alice is torn between a yearning for solitude coupled with a deep need to be at the center of a perfect family. Six years ago, when the Goodwins took over the last dairy farm in the small Midwestern town of Prairie Center, they envisioned their home as a self-made paradise. They even made it so that getting to the next NG+ cycle isn't that much of a hassle, with the player only needing to finish a set number of missions to unlock the next one and not having to play through everything again.One unremarkable June morning, Alice Goodwin is, as usual, trying to keep in check both her temper and her tendency to blame herself for her family's shortcomings. NG+ is a vastly more substantial element to the Nioh experience than it is to for instance Dark Souls since NG+ in those games is basically just the same game over again, while every NG+ cycle in Nioh adds all kinds of new mechanics. In NG, making a build doesn't really matter because you'll be finding better gear every two or three levels and having only a limited skill pool.įrom NG+ and onwards, with the introductions of graces and divine/ethereal gear, is where the "real Nioh" starts, with gear setup being more important and you being able to really design (multiple) unique and strong builds as gear level doesn't matter as much anymore, so you can really craft a build without worrying that something better is going yo drop two levels further on. NG is essentially just the primer to start Nioh, it's from NG+ onwards that the game really opens up with its possibilities. That would save a looooot of time grinding.Ĭlick to shrink.Yeah, I disagree. I have no idea why they didn't just make star effects temperable and accessories soul matchable. I stil love the game to bits (and it's fun just shredding bosses with my current build), but the grinding for graces and star effects is definitely the worst part of the game. Luckily, I did manage to finish a version of the Saratuhiko build because the Suzuka gear/set bonus is only 5 pieces (4 with a Yasakani Magatama), but still I got Yasakani Magatama's from every damn grace except Sarutahiko lol. Then in Dream of the Nioh, I decided to make a Saturahiko build, so I replay the Underworld floors where Sarutahiko drops and what is all that drops? Fucking Susano stuff, which I farmed for ages in DotW. It took me ages and some trips to a big Sudama to get the final Magatsuhi and Susano gear (meanwhile, literally every other grace dropped). In Dream of the Wise I decided to make a Susano/Magatsuhi build. Nioh 2 seems to know what I'm farming for and specifically not give me that stuff. Sometimes you just want to reroll the gear you already have than praying to RNG to give you another. No, you don't have to do these things but it saves you a lot of time, especially when you're dealing with RNG.
On your first play through, you don't really have to worry about farming but for people like myself that want to continually get stronger and ascend the difficulties set bonuses, grace combinations, and eventually builds start to come into play.Īs such, farming is the name of the game on harder difficulties and I love farming for stuff.but when a game starts incorporating the worst aspects of farming like save scumming, restarting the application to prevent auto saves, and constantly returning to the main menu to reroll affixes on gear, that's when things get really bad. Tons of different weapons and armors to use so build variety is through the roof. You got a Feudal Japan aesthetic with challenging (sometimes cheap) enemies, a transmog system, and lots of loot to find. Nioh 2 is an awesome game, and a bit of a rarity in its genre.
