Hi guys, I bought the Darkest Dungeon on sale recently, and I thought I should put a load of cRPG people in it to spice things up. I'm really new to it (therefore really, REALLY bad), so many of us will undoubtedly die.

The game progresses through weekly time periods, so I will update each week and the events corresponding to them as the game proceeds.

Our humble Estate. It shall soon be in working order.

James, the Crusader, is a tanky frontliner who will tank damage and deal it with his two handed sword and his plate armor. However, he is a kleptomaniac and happily steals shit from me and keeps it for himself. Wow James.

Cikel, the Highwayman, is a roguish hero who uses both his dagger and pistol to win engagements. He is strong and fast, relying on his quick reflexes to help him in a pinch. He is not allowed to play cards at the tavern because he cheats. What a jerk.

Pestdoktor, the Plague Doctor, relies on medicine and bombs to help out his companions. He is a depressing figure, constantly surrounded by death, and heals stress at a lesser rate than the other members of our group.

N1PS, the Vestal, is our glorious support healer, who helps the party to push forward even against the toughest of foes. However, he is a glutton and a nymphomaniac. You fat slut.

With our new warriors in hand, we shall begin reclaiming our estate and fighting off the evil uncovered by our forefathers.

(click to show/hide)

As all good adventures do, we embarked on our first dungeon quest: to scout the ruins of our Estate. James, Cikel, Pestdoktor, and N1PS sallied forth into the unknown, where danger lay in wait.

The foursome encountered skeletons in the deep, where they were forced to put their mettle to the test.

The first rooms were quickly secured, but the final battle proved to be a challenge. Cikel was heavily wounded, as was Pestdoktor, but N1PS came in clutch with healing magic.

And so the first dungeon was successful, and thanks to N1PS, everyone survived. We secured quite a bit of loot, including charms for James and Pestdoktor. However not everyone took a fair share...

James and Pestdoktor accumulated some stress, so they will retire to the Estate to rest. However 2 new companions have joined the cause!

(click to show/hide)

ARBSARBSARBSARBS, the Arbalest, the crossbowman with a lazy eye.

DaBirds, the Crusader, who is helpful in a pinch and won't steal stuff from me because he's a nice guy. Good on you, DaBirds.

N1PS earns a star for being the MVP of the first dungeon.

(click to show/hide)

Just like the previous week, we are clearing out the ruins. We are also building up our ranks, finding more adventurers to help our cause. If someone goes for too long without rest, they will lose their mind no doubt. Pestdoktor and James have sat this one out, leaving DaBirds and ARBS to fill their roles.

The second quest involved clearing out some rooms, so we had to go full slaughterhouse mode.

Cikel was in his element, destroying unholy vermin at every opportunity.

Poor N1PS got stressed out, but he ain't no bitch so he got it together.

The dungeons are dangerous, and we almost had our first casualty.

Another soul joins the cause!

uwu, a Vestal, is a healer and magic user like N1PS. Hopefully he follows in his footsteps.

Cikel recieves his first MVP star for this dungeon.

(click to show/hide)

Another trip into the ruins leads to us gaining more loot and attracting more members... as well as making people go crazy. Our heroes for this week are N1PS, James, uwu, and ARBS. Cikel and DaBirds are taking a deserved rest. Pestdoktor is waiting for his chance to reenter the dungeons.

(click to show/hide)

N1PS was the first to lose it, creating chaos in the group.

(click to show/hide)

The turn of N1PS caused James to dive head first off the deep end.

And so, chaos ensued within the group, as each member began roasting the man next to him. This left the group weak, but one person was able to carry the pack through the darkness.

(click to show/hide)

The internal conflict that had manifested in James' mind caused him to unleash his fury, resulting in a savage JAMESNADO on all of the enemies.

The group successfully vanquished the enemies, and James earns his first MVP star for slaying tons of baddies. Also, James is still an asshole.

We are also joined by 3 new companions:

Thats a pretty fun game. I got pretty far in before I started losing people on my first playthrough but that might have just been luck on my part

I'd say yes if you can get over the fact that your favorite squad will inevitably get murder raped in the most horrid fashion. Also fuck you Thryn you haven't put me in yet and I was the first response :(

Quick spoiler that might as well not be a spoiler because it's bullshit but maybe you'll want to skip this post if you really want to keep the run blind.

Darkest Dungeon's difficulty curve is bad. The jump from novice to veteran dungeons isn't too bad, it's mostly just slightly tougher base enemies and a few new ones who are basically just beefier versions of what you've fought before. Stacking damage is viable and feels recommended because some of those new enemies have very large health pools. Then you'll get up to champion (level 5) dungeons and all of a sudden enemy critical hit and dodge rates and resistances explode out of fucking nowhere and if you're not stacking dodge and accuracy on your characters you're going to be repeatedly missing your attacks while enemies land critical hits on you back to back. Then not only do you have to grind out more high level characters to replace the ones you lose but you'll also need to grind out new items since you were probably farming for bonus damage and sanity reduction before and don't have any really good dodge/accuracy items.

Basically, resistance and accuracy trinkets are kind of pointless early to mid game because you can stack damage through veteran dungeons without much issue, but if you don't have good accuracy/dodge/resistance items and quirks by level 5 you're going to get screwed because all of a sudden those stats become king.
