StarTopic Dragon's Dogma 2 |ST| Who let the Dogmas out?

Next patch. I'm a bit bummed about reducing Dragonsplague because I think it's super cool, but they got a lot of complaints.

I never got Dragonsplague, but I was super nervous about it. I always stared at all of my pawns first thing in the morning every time I rested haha.

I did the exact same thing. I hired a pawn once with no visible sign of it and got a tutorial message for Dragonsplague. I fired him instantly.
 
Am i the only one that thinks they went a biiiiiiiiiit too much with enemy encounters in Battahl and the island?

Feels like am action-RPG, non-random-battle version of old random-battle JRPGs. One step, boom ... battle.

On the way to the island (the long one, not from the Battahl capital) i had to fight 3 cyclopses after another, all of the were a few steps away from each other.
And don't get me started on the amount of those goblins-on-steroids.

I think the Volcanic Island is fair, it's at the end of the game, there's not THAT much to do over there, and it's rather small.

But Battahl is hardcore yeah. My first ever travel there was a nightmare. I spent half of the road to the Battahl capital running with no HP, being pursued by 10 wolves, 10 bandits, and 5 skeletons (cause it became night in the meanwhile, wouldn't be fun otherwise).
Worst thing is taking an oxcart. You just pray for not encountering anything, cause otherwise you know your cart is getting destroyed by whatever you encounter in Battahl lmao
 
Finally got to the post game, and it's pretty interesting. For a game that has as many annoyances and inconveniences as it does, it certainly has been more addicting than I was anticipating with 80 hours in.

Also, agreed on there being way too many encounters so often, especially in a game where fast travel is so limited.
 
The new patch was actually better than I expected for the pawns, seems like its triggering specific/special dialogue more often. I'm hearing lines I haven't heard before, some of it mission specific when previously they said the ol' faithful "where are we to go now?".

Meanwhile the game is BEGGING me to start endgame while I frolic in the meadows, do menial sidequests and go to the hot springs. Ambrosius can wait a few more weeks, right?
 
I'm just loving the simple yet needed change for the chests on the mini map. Now the only ones we see on the map are the ones we haven't opened yet!
 
Just had some hilarious unintentional humour happen to me. I did the first Sphinx riddles, and heard a tip that you can
ride on her back to the next destination she goes. And it was really cool!

The only problem was that when she started to land, I fell off. Meaning I splattered to the ground from high up and died. After she started talking (at my corpse), the prompt for using a wakestone came up 😅
 
I just started yesterday. Still very early (got a quest from Brant to start unscrewing things). I made the mistake of entering the wilderness at night, got killed, and just ran for my life on reload.

I never played the original DD, so this is all new to me. It is hilarious what kind of antics you can get up to, though, and I can't even say I've scratched the surface.

I also just started, and as a DD veteran DD2 feels like a remix of the first game so far -- not a bad thing IMO. Seeing Rook again right at the beginning really sets expectations.
 
Good news to see Dragon's Dogma still selling well apparently :D

Anyways I started the end-game and found out who my game-assigned beloved is, apparently.

Glyndwr I like you and all but I like Wilhelmina more sorry. Was a bit disappointed it was him instead of her being held as ransom. Anyways, got the Unmoored World stuff going and was REALLY confused seeing Phaesus alive. Thought it was also really sweet that my Pawn slept a whole month until I was alive again.

Oh, have fun with that. That part of the game elevated it from "yeah good follow-up" to GotY contender for me
 
I think i'm about or already running out of quests to do before progressing to the "endgame" part.

Hey Capcom, got an idea for a new Pawn specialization: Explorer.
Instead of your Pawns telling you where something interesting (though mainly caves for me) is, this specialization makes them mark not only caves but other spots on you map that are close to you.

Why? The map is massive, going outside the paths sometimes ends up in some half-baked Parkouring and is somewhat tedious.
 
So I stumbled upon the end but wasn't expecting it to be just...there? Wow.

I think I'm going to finish the main game later this week in a different sitting. I want to knock it out in one go and see if I have some energy for what I'm expecting is some wacky postgame.
 
Yeah, the main story comes to a close rather suddenly for a game so big. It was definitely strange, but I also wasn't really mad about it as I wasn't really that invested.
 
The second half of the Battahl 'story' falls off a cliff 😅

Anyways nearly done with the main game, am now preparing a ton of QOL and fun mods for my NG+ playthrough. But I did put on the beloved Pawn mod carry on as a send-off to my faithful Sorcerer 🥹

Okay that one Sphinx riddle sucks major ass.

How the fuck should i remember where i found my first Seekers Token???
Click to expand...

I was pretty lazy and didn't bother to pull up footage I saved of where I found the first one. That was the only one of those set of riddles I didn't do. The other ones were pretty easy, with a specific item or two of course.

I'll try that again in NG+ someday as well.

First option:



See if any of these easy and early-game spots refresh your memory. Mine was on the top of the Melve Ballista area apparently.

Second option if you have a PC: A mod can find it for you

My PC has troubles running Diablo 3, sooooo you see i went with PS5. ;D

Thanks for the video, i hope this helps. At least i was smart enough to make an "Inn save" right at the start of doing that riddle, so i can return to that point if i run out of the 7 days.

That one is very cruel. Once I saw that, I figured I'd just wait to do that quest on NG+ if I ever get around to it.

It's still bullshit. And i likely won't bother with NG+ when i'm done, i had my share until a potential DLC expansion.

They could at least have made a "First Seeker Token" trophy/achievement, so one could check where this might've been.
 
Only trophies I'm missing are the 80 tokens and discovering 50 dungeons.
Not really excited to do this shit but at this point I want the platinum, the other trophies have been super fun to do.

Can't wait for the DLC, I think I'm at my NG+4 lol
 
Finished the game... all I can say is that I love my Main Pawn so much 🥹

WE ARE RIDE OR DIE BESTIES
This is a game with quite a few flaws and it's nor for everyone, but man did I really enjoy it. When you embrace the weirdness, it's truly a fun and immersive experience. And the amount of different quest outcomes has me excited for NG+ to do a lot of things differently. Not sure whether I'm going to jump back in right away or give it some time.

I am also really hoping for DLC, and Capcom mentioning it positively in their recent briefings has me hopeful it won't be this long before we enter the weird world of DD again.

Got the platinum trophy just now !!

Now I'm going to get all classes to max rank (my pawn already got them all maxed), and I'll be ready for the DLC. Hopefully it releases this winter or sometime along those lines, but with Capcom asking for what we would hope to see in it, it might take a bit longer ?

Oh I forgot to mention I finished the game earlier this week. I messed up and didn't get to the post game, but that's ok. I started NG+ and will focus that playthrough on maxing out the remaining vocations (including Trickster lol) and then go for post game during this 2nd playthrough.

I'll also use that opportunity to do some quests correctly.

Overall I think I prefer the final sequence to the final boss more in DDDA more than this but everything else I like way more in this game. GOTY so far.

I'm going to return to this 2nd playthrough later this year though, got other games to play. Hope there's DLC as well!
