Oh you missed a really annoying one. When you're at your workspace and while looking for an item or building a monster can actually attack you, forcefully exiting you from the menu. That was so annoying.

@@TheBastered I agree about those, the others that can be skipped are better once you played the game for the story.

[@anti-wokewarrior1474]

Yeah the best part about the long text sequences was the stupid accents all the characters spoke in. Having to decipher what the characters were actually saying made text sequences only like five times as long... And in the end it turns out they were saying something totally pointless anyway!

[@Archonus]

As a Dragon Quest fan I love the dialogue and it's the primary reason I play these games. I love the silly alliterative writing and the accents, all of it. But I can understand why people dislike it.

[@ganover2756]

its even worse in speedrun!! imagine you have to watch those over and over and over again

[@arjanvanachteren]

Things I hate: - the room limit, chest limit. - the animals that count to the population limit. No grasslands with a lot of sheep’s and cows because they count to that damn poplimit. I also miss horses, pigs, goats, pigeons. - animals walking everywhere instead of only in their paddock. Hell, I even found eggs on the highest mountain. - the fishlimit. I want to see loads of fish in my rivers, lakes and sea and still be able to make a big aquarium. With (I believe) only 40 fish thats impossible. - i liked the fact that you unlocked different parts of the island though the story, but i really hate the fact that your pops only live in 3 small parts of the island and cant even travel to the other areas if you don’t relocate them. I moved al my humans to 1 area so I can build a town that has a nice population. - I’m not a fan of the villager needs for rooms. One of my villagers wanted a normal size rooms with a high luxury rating. I ended up with a room full of (slime)lights and still it wasn’t enough.

[@UmatsuObossa]

Making a large completely nonfancy room is almost impossible...they can't have any furniture.

[@ceilyurie856]

All of this.

[@michaelyobs4448]

Agreed! Animals should never have been part of the population they should have just been there

[@Anreii]

This. I adopted this cute little kid from an explorers shores - his room requirements were 5 size 5 fanciness. Nope you little shit back you go

[@ollie2111]

But seriously, what is up with the island not having any grassland?! Making it myself is way to tedious and not fun at all. Plus the fact that you have to build large monuments each flat space, like the pyramid. I just want an entire island for myself that looks like it did in the first game, and is the size of Furrowfield! Haha! ☆ okay maybe the size is too much to ask 😈

[@biske85]

the worst part is that in the post-game, Malroth even addresses the whole same-button-for-everything issue, saying something like "I know you talked to me accidentally. If you want me to get out of the way, just tell me" or something like that. I'm terrible with quotes.

[@BenXC]

Yeah they even knew about it... ;)

[@SilverNox]

The number 1 annoyance for me is the 100 room limit. Second is how long you have to wait after assigning a room to a villager that meets their three preferences. -edit- I also really wanted the moonbrooke story quest to repair all the walls. Like each of the armies would attack from each direction and you'd have to defend the whole area. It was just annoying watch the enemies decide to only attack from one direction when there were actual holes in the walls from literally any other direction.

[@littlemoth4956]

When one side was a mountain and the other was a cliff? Yeah, no thanks. It’s just easier to repair the walls yourself.

[@silverbane8065]

Some of those definitely burned my bacon. Especially no brown dyes, no gluttony charm and the connected blocks. Super salty with no underside slopes. Honourable mentions for me... I can't dye the villager outfits ( wanted a green version of lulus dress) I can't get copies of most of their clothing even if I dress them in something else ( I know some can be made) I can't swim! I wanted to swim in the pool too :( I can't sit and eat with them ( wanted to eat while sitting at a table like a civilised person) Their obsession with small! Why is everything they want me to build so damn small? No room to add comforts. And the one that made me curse so much... Only one room per person! I wanted to build Mal a nice bachelor pad. Bathroom, kitchen...sweet malhalla garden. Nope! I can assign him a single room and that's it. My dreams of him wandering about enjoying his own spaces, ruined lol.

[@michaelyobs4448]

Agreed!

[@MarkMcDaniel]

Lateral sloping to create towers would've been nice. Yes, they have curved castle blocks to make towers with, but not other styles of blocks.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Yeah I really wanted a purple version of Lulu’s dress. Heck I want Babs’ outfit in purple because it’s so fab, but nope. As for giving one resident an entire house you could assign them to each room manually. I’m also not sure what the game would make of it if you assigned a person one room and then had rooms coming off that room, like if you gave Malroth a nice bedroom and then built a nice bathroom and garden coming off of it.

[@silverbane8065]

That's what I tried to do. It didn't really work. Hell, the amount of times I woke up t find he'd slept ion the big blue rockbomb bed next to my character, instead of the soft big modern bed in the room I gave him is beyond silly. I think he really likes my girl *winks (He also keep trying t get me to build that shared room too so I wonder if he's trying to ask my character, in his own weird way, to go steady/be his gf lmao)

[@sleepykittyMMD]

Agreed, I tried to make a house for Malroth and Lulu, they only get one room and on the entire island, I made a room for him on the green, blue and red tablet biomes, only 1 room can be his.. So if I move him to a new area i have to re-asign him his room back. I mean the villagers have no boundaries and will use his private bathroom, I don't let myself into my neighbors home a take a poo.

[@kevin4061]

Skelkatraz should've been the demo, it's more fast-paced and could've been a the start since you're a prisoner in both skelkatraz and the demo.

Then Malroth decides to have a full conversation! Then when you actually talk to Malroth he goes "That look on your face I bet you spoke to me on accident don't bother denying it!

In all fairness to the developers the systems this came out on definitely aren't powerful enough to do splitscreen, hopefully dqb3 on the ps5 and next switch will have it

Or using the table to craft something, it immediately takes you of the crafting table so you have to locate that specific thing you were trying to craft again. It wouldn't be so bad if we had a search or better sort option in the crafting menu.

[@MidnightPearl1974]

well for me that I found annoying was the long story dialogue, I get that it was a 'story'about Malroth, but it just went on and on and repeated itself, I was so glad I finished the main story and finally get to build on my island. But Lulu was so annoying going on about Lulutopia this and that, so I made sure she didn't get what she wanted, I called my island Pearltopia instead. things that annoyed me: 1. Long and boring storey that repeated 2.Resident limit-such a big island and can only have 60 3. I made each room to the residence needs-ambience, fanciness etc, and they refuse to sleep in the rooms I made. 4. chest, drawer, wardrobe limits-for big builders like and others, we need to stash some away and not having to delete it. 5.Travelling to other islands, to find out that the island has changed again and again in different forms and then searching for that 1 thing that hardly isn't there, like the hot water with stones around it, I repeated going to the ''explorers shore'' just to find that hot water and couldn't find it cos the island changes with every visit. 6.with the noticeboard screenshots, some people are taking those screenshots and re-uploading them as their own, that needs to stop, that's plagurism and there's no filter on that. 7. Pencil annoyance too, some people who visit other people's island need permission first to copy someone's creation before reuploading-again plagurism, cos I've seen loads of people reuploading someone's creations and claiming it's theirs then reporting the original person's creation and getting a notice from Square Enix that they copied-that's what happened to me. 8. multiplayer-with people entering multiplayer, the pencil tool shouldn't work on each other's island-again fear of plagurism, you could befriend someone on the noticeboard only to discover that they used their pencil to copy your creation without your permission, only realising that your creation that you worked hard on-so many hours gets copied and then reuploaded as their own and then get a report that you copied them when infact they copied you-that needs to stop! 9.I would really like to ''mingle'' with the residence like eat with them, play cards with them, swim in the pool I made for them, just general stuff with the residence, they say good morning to their fellow villagers but not to me-the builder who built them that fancy kitchen or fancy rooms, it would be nice to get a recognition from them instead getting a room recipe. 10. My fave animal on each island is the bunnycorns -purple bunnies, I hate to kill them for fur and meat and I wish we could have them as part of the residence but cannot. 10. Using the trowel tool, is marvellous when building up but there's no building down or ground level, it would be nice to do. I mean I love this game but there's tons of ''annoying'' things that is just beyond annoying, anyways love your video's Ben and tutorials and I figured out how to build an underwater house already. Have a great day/night/afternoon :)

[@pennywisethesingingclown5147]

Lol I agree with you on Lulu also my characters name is also pearl! :0

[@oreonne3167]

The 6 is something they do to make it aesthetic so I would disagree on that but that rest should be optional and not forced cause someone people, like me, who don't have friends I would care who would copy me as long as they are using it cause they love the building or maybe it gave them an idea. I build and I always give credit for people (they should add signs where you can write and give credit to people thats what I do always) that build buildings and NEVER claimed it as my own but I agree on putting an option for people to asl permission before taking a build to avoid division, drama and plagiarism. I like this alot btw ^^

That's how I figured the ocarina would work (you set an item to it and it'll search for that item) Was pretty disappointed by it not doing anything. Useful for finding the last few explorer items though. Some other things that bug me: -You can't make actually blueprints of most of the things in your blueprint menu. -Of the basic flat colour blocks in the colour wheel brown isn't an option. -If you want to light up a large room with a tall ceiling, your only options are Fänsi Låit or Fänsi Låit -If you play for long enough without resetting the text will start disappearing -Can't befriend metal slimes (Well except one I guess, after the fact) -The DLC items don't appear as ? in the item-pedia when you don't have that, so if you want to build a "museum of everything" which is what I'm doing now you just kinda have to hope you aren't missing something or very carefully look over online checklists to make sure. -There's no way to get some of the DLC if you want to play using a physical cart. (sigil blocks, DQ logo etc) -Fish limit, I wanted to make an Aquarium with every type of fish together in a couple massive tanks (sea/freshwater), then a nice smaller tank for each fish too, but you can only do one or the other. -NPCs will sometimes do completely stupid things, like line up to wait to eat at a dinner table even though there are several dinner tables sets right next to it. I love the game though :P Lots and lots of improvements over the original. Hope Dragon Quest Builders 3 will get everything perfect

I don't like how messy the blocks get when you break a lot of them. Wish they had a larger pickup radius or a tool that sucks them in for a large area. That and maybe a ghost of the blueprint before you place them so you can get the right orientation. Cant count the amount of times ive had to pick up a blueprint because the structure was facing the wrong way. Maybe the ability to rotate blueprints would be nice too. Also the fact that the residents put building materials in food chests. Storage containers are too big compared to their capacity. If i can hold like 8 tabs of items i think boxes should hold a lot more than 2 rows.

[@Stirdix]

Rotate objects in general, really. I'd love the ability to rotate furniture before I put it down, too, so I can choose the orientation.

I've been wanting the ability to rotate since the first builders. Not sure how they missed adding that in this one.

One thing I hate about the game is there's not actually any possible way to keep a ghost out, not even by putting up a full wall, or a bunch of lights.

What I hate the most is what I just found out recently, and that's a limited number of rooms allowed on one island. Only 100 I think.

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

That honestly sounds like a pain and serious flaw(I wished like items, the cap was atleast 999 😅)

[@Thrasher-sv9jx]

I agree with just about everything... except for number 2. There's alternate control schemes for a reason, and putting tool swap on the D-pad completely eliminates that frustration. One of my major frustrations is the lack of craftable naviglobes. We should have been able to create our own warp points around the island. The car lets you warp to it, and naviglobes exist within the game, so why can't we just make them?

[@zacharyawazos2812]

Yeah dude I have NO idea why they tied the button originally to X. Like, I tooled around with the settings in the beginning and the new variety of changeable stuff is pretty cool but I missed that one and they never mention it. So for the first like 8 hours I was annoyed at pressing X for my tools and talking/using to whoever/whatever is near me, I got used to running away from stuff that could cause that.. Then I randomly changed the setting and it was just SO much more intuitive and easy! Like the X button is tied to so many important things why make the tools tied to it as well? I feel like this function (and being able to change it to the d-pad which is WAY better, even for new X functionality w/ the inventory, plus there's a third mapping option) was a late addition to the game and not part of it long enough to become the normal button mapping. Honestly this video and stuff like that and having played the first make me think that the developers are really building from the ground up (lol..) what their ideal Dragon Quest version of minecraft is with each installment. If you just take simply the quality of life upgrades from the first release to the second it's a HUGE step in the right direction and that game was a pretty fun little romp too. I'm having a lot of fun with DQB2 and I like that the developers are really trying to improve and build on their vision with these games. DQ11 was pretty fun but I'm enjoying DQB2 more in all honesty.

[@Thrasher-sv9jx]

Yoster Schnauss it’s the plus shaped set of buttons below your left thumb stick.

[@MrSuperTeenGohan]

I kinda agree on using the other control scheme, but doing that makes it a little more tedious to access my inventory, and I end up with a similar issue. On the other hand, Square could have fixed it by simply using another button for interact. Like having the attack button be interact, and then make it so that your party memebers wouldn't talk to you while in combat. That way the issue would be completely non-existent. Having square insist on making the interact button also having another significant function just seems like poor design

[@UltimateCarl]

Moonbrooke was the worst part of the game for me... I hate that you have no choice but to betray Malroth's friendship, it sucks. Like during the part with the mirror, you can't *not* check him with the mirror, to the point that you can even go and check the ACTUAL monsters and they'll show up as clean, until you check Malroth... And then 20 seconds later those very same people you just checked become monsters! WTF! I also completely disagreed with building the prison, but you don't have a choice there either... It really pissed me off that the game was forcing my character to be an idiot jerk just for the sake of forced drama. Not to mention the characters in that chapter are otherwise as interesting as cardboard and the combat sections were boring before I even met the three commanders you have to take out, and THAT'S ONLY LIKE THE HALFWAY POINT. Ugh, it almost ruined the otherwise surprisingly good story for me... Skelkatraz I actually liked! It was tedious, but at least we were planning a cool prison break and there was some good humor. Moonbrooke is just morose, *even more* tedious, and a stupid slog until the very end (which admittedly is kinda' cool, but not enough to make up for the rest of the chapter). You don't even really get any cool new building parts since it's mostly traps and they're useless outside of that chapter.

[@wqsun3484]

UltimateCarl I destroyed the whole Moonbrooke before I left that island...I tried break the prison instantly after I built it...but a locked door can trap Malroth...that is soooo sad...

[@zecatox]

Indeed being able to unsuccessfully test the mirror on the monsters is huge mistake from the devs, but I never felt like my character was betraying Malroth at any point. As a result, I think I was as infuriated as you were, but for opposite reasons : the dumb one, for me, wasn't so much my character than Malroth himself. Couldn't he understand that we were using the mirror on ?! Couldn't he see that we had no friggin idea that the prison was meant for him !? (maybe a difference of translation here ? It was meant for the unknown traitor, not necessarily him or whoever) Ah, well...

[@scottfrenz]

@@zecatox Agreed. I hated that part of the story, too. Definitely forced drama. And yeah, Malroth could have realized it, or at least listened to my character when he tried to explain what happened.

@@scottfrenz > Yeah, the story is overall quite okay :) It's strange how Moonbrooke kind of provided both the worst and best moments in terms of narration.

What I hated was the cooking stations! It's almost not even worth it to make the advance cooking stations because they can only cook ONE thing at a time. I found it better to just have multiple firepits with frying pans on top, and maybe one advance cooking station. Would it look good, probably not... But do they care? -_- In the 1st DQB even if the villager's asked for something basic, they would some time later ask you to improve a previous build.

[@Peterplayingguitar]

My number one gripe is that the transform-o-trowel switch size can't be adjusted. This is a really useful tool for building but it's limited to 5x5. Crazy! imagine of you could adjust from 1x1 to 10x10. That would be stupendous. Also, i wanted to go back to Skelkatraz after the campaign. Oh well : (

[@enkiitu]

The number of times I “spoke” to the chimera whilst building... grrrrrrr... The amount of rooms limit it’s inexplicable to me, and with it, the limit to the number of residents. And the “zonification” on the isle of awakening. Why do you have such a big island and can’t have your villagers occupying all of it? I really wanted to have a city on the whole island, with people doing stuff all over, which was my biggest complaint about the post-game of Dragon Quest Builders 1. All that said, I LOVE this game.

Here are the things I hate about it 1. Cut scenes where Hargon is talking to Malroth 2. Moonbroke when they have you make the cell for the so-called spy and then put Malroth in there Malroth gets mad tells you you’re disgusting this hurt/hurts me so bad. 3. The limits they give such a huge island to build on but can only have 100 rooms 60 residents a certain amount of chests and wardrobe’s. 4. When you’re building at a workbench monster can come up and attack you. 5. Lulu always demanding you do this do that like im trying to build here 6. Only can have 4 blueprints 7. No brown orange or grey dye

[@SonnyFRST]

My (rather spoilery) list of nitpicks with this game: - Babs and Anessa can fight, Rosie can't but makes up for it with the hustle. Meanwhile Lulu doesn't do crap and has little to no presence in the plot. That her character can be summed up to "Lulutopia" memes is just a sympton of a bigger issue with her. - Apparently you can rescue the monsters from Malhalla out of limbo, but doing so doesn't bring the Arc itself back so the only way to have it on your island is to make/blueprint one yourself. (would've liked to retrieve a thing we spend time creating over some random ghost ship I can't even remember why that stupid thing is there in the first place) - Accessories were bad yes, but you know what irked me off big time: not being able to reliably use hammers as weapons. (people say the devs intended this game to be focused on building moreso than exploration, but then why did they put so many invasions and Optional Bosses for you to fight????) - As much as I'm a fan of OmegaForce, I don't think getting them to make Builders 2 was the best move.

You store the tree in your chest in ordert to let the villagers build, they plant the trees but before you they have finished completing it the trees have become big plumberry trees and you can't finish your blueprint at 100% - Villagers that go and store anything in random chests, filling them when you need space in them (especially annoying with the elders who spend their day fishing instead of working on your blueprints) - you start building a railroad with connecting tracks, realise one is not well placed well, destroy it and realise it's no longer a connecting item, taking useless space in your inventory. - Monsters that come only to destroy your buildings occur way too often during the main story.

- the chests, big chests and others all have the same amount of space to store stuff, they are not big enough tho - only 100 rooms for the big island?? - loadtimes are crazy long - cant tame all monsters but lets have many different cats and dogs who are pretty much useless.. - villagers putting stuff inside chests they shouldnt, ie put dyes into the chest in the kitchen and wasting the little space of storage - villagers dont sort stuff in the right chests. Here we go having each crop in all of the chests near the field instead of putting it on an existing stack - sometimes you cant ride a mount and have to move a bit away to reset it - i would love to have a whole house for one villager or myself but only one room per villager is allowed - Only 64 or so residents (including pets, animals and monsters) on the big big island? - more fish to display!!

It's hard to make water look good. 2. Theres mechanics like asthetics that are so unfun to unlock I didn't even unlock it till post game and its not that interesting. Diagonal/carved blocks as well. 3. Speaking of post game; your inventory and selection of items are so huge it takes a minute to even check if you have what you want, and then theres so much to choose from that its hard to pick any. 4. Dialogue/pacing. Basically combining your point about the repetition and the honorable mention of slow story segments like the prison island. Talk, wait on bench, go to bed, talk, bench, bed, talk, bench, bed... 5. Food; the villagers make so little/eat so much I basically have to make my own. In the first game it was a reward for building kitchens, now it's a tax.

If your villagers aren't cooking, they are probably starved or tired. Just plonk a bunch of cabbages in the the dining tables and make sure everyone has a bed.

[@KonDragon008]

I'm a bit late to the DQB2 party; just got the game about a month or so ago, and I can say with 100% certainty that I HATE how picky the game is when it comes to registering rooms. When I was trying to make the Spa Resort, I had to have spent an hour trying to figure out what the heck the game didn't like about it where it wouldn't combine. One side was registered as a "spa", and the other side was registered as a "music hall", but it wasn't turning into the Spa Resort. Turned out that my problem was that I apparently needed an IN GROUND spa (I had even used the pencil tool to get a blueprint of the natural spa from Rimey Reef and specifically built that for the ambience I had pictured), and even though I had all the other items I needed (the washtubs and stools), it didn't register as a Spa Resort until I completely destroyed the natural spa and dug down, filled it with hot water, and tossed the flower petals on it. I actually had to put down my controller and step away; instead of feeling accomplished, I felt a "finally, it's done". Also, I have a "???" target in the Scarlet Sands. That ??? target, and the "sell stuff", are the only ones left for all my tablet targets; sell stuff is slowly filling, but since I have no idea what the ??? is, I obviously can't work on it. That annoys me, too. Third was that I couldn't go back to Skelkatraz post game, nor could I get in contact with the monsters from the Ark (I had been hopeful that they'd come stay on the island). I wanted to go back and free everyone and talk to Molly again...but nope! That part was also weird and broke my immersion because it doesn't remove your glam. The characters were talking about how the monsters "took my clothes", and I'm sitting there wondering if it was a translation error and they meant to say "items" since my character was still wearing clothing (glam). I tried to reload my save to take off the glam, and then ran into that "overwritten main save file" part and was really upset. Also, Moonbrooke was just bad. I legit tried to bust Malroth out of prison with my hammer, but was repelled. I kept going back down (so I was annoyed when he said "you didn't even visit"...dude, I tried every single time I could) and got turned around, and even attempted to break him out during one of the enemy attacking waves...was repelled then as well (I figured that...hey, I'm a builder, so I can just destroy the creation with the hammer). If I had the choice, I would have refused to build anything for them until they let him out. I hate even having to return to that island because that part of the story was so awful. Honorable mention: Villagers leaving random crap in the storage chests (like rocks, wood, and cords). I'll even find them in the kitchen chests (which are nowhere near the ones in the barn by the farm) and it completely baffles me. They also will put the same item in like...five different chests spread throughout the area. I was organizing stuff yesterday (as I had finally unlocked the drawer for selling stuff) and found random crops, stone/wood/cords, and even the clothes they had changed out of in a chest nowhere near where that stuff should have been. I keep finding their changed outfits in the kitchen chest. Just...what? I love the game and I'm really enjoying it, but dang if it doesn't frustrate the heck outta me sometimes.

[@101Swiftflick]

There needed to be a way to make Malroth back off and take a nap or something GAME DAY 1. Hermit's all like herp derp derp here's a WHOLE island just for you go have fun but Malroth was constantly in the way or sticking his nose up my butt and reminding me about story stuff because of the stupid A button problem. Sometimes really late in the game night he would finally go to bed but the stupid ghosts and ants would ruin the moment. Multiple quicksaves would be nice too. Maybe 3? That way you could have the option to make 1 at the beginning of a building, 1 near the middle, and 1 whenever. That way if you accidentally smash a patterned window, set your rustic toilet on fire (don't ask), or decide you want to change a room's size you' wouldn't have to completly start over.

It just won't work with the 60 limit. Also, because the residents don't milk cows (or at least we haven't figured out how), we would like to have maybe 20 of them to do a once-a-day run, but that is not practical. Same thing with the room limit. She has the green tablet area, I have the blue tablet area, and we tag team the red tablet area. There is simply no way to have each area have their own resident specialists, farms, and amenities such as museums, music halls, libraries, chapels, etc. *and* for each resident to have a private built to taste room. The shared button thing is annoying, but tolerable, but the other two limits are really frustrating.

There are alot things about this game that are good but also disappointing. I wanna share mine cause why not: 1. The options you have are short. You can't say no EVEN THOUGH THATS AN OPTION IN SOME CASES! [SPOILER ALERT] I really trusted malroth through everything and it is disappointing that I had to do what they wished to do and it was put him in a cell (Moonbrooke) 2. There isn't more animals in this game that are under the farm topic. I also think we should limit the animals just like npc to make it fair. 3. Really short limit builds and npcs. This one was one of the most upsetting things that I had to find out. I wanted to get more villagers and give positions to each npcs (that have jobs and talents) I would recieve in my island. I have the vision for my town but sometimes it's hard when you don't have that authority. 4. Maybe people may not see it the way I see it, but it takes AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF TIME to flatten the island and terraform it. I hope there would be a way to do so through videos but it's not easy for me cause it takes long for me to understand and seek answers I'm looking for. 5. I'm a female and for me, I didn't like any character in the story except malroth. I hate when npcs calls my character lovebirds when I'm a female. Maybe for women who are interested in that can have that but what I'm trying to say is that we have an option to grow a relationship up to BEST FRIENDS! This one is my opinion. More will be added cause I ain't ain't quite yet but these are the things that disappointed me. Please correct if I said something offensive so that I can fix it cause my first language is Spanish not english.

Yeah, that really put me off, and I just wanted to finish the chapter asap after that. I noticed after they put Malroth in the cell, my acatar's smile faded. It stayed that way even after midenhall.

Also, as he stated in this vid, I am a switch player and the framerate drops so bad at times. The first game looked fluid

Lolol love that XC2 reference. And I completely agree with all of these. The FOV was my main frustration with this game though. I hate that there’s no FOV slider, it made me feel very claustrophobic ESPECIALLY in 1st person view after playing Minecraft for so many years. Also hate how zoomed in close the camera is in 3rd person view because it can be tricky seeing what the heck you’re doing on larger builds without having to run a bajillion blocks further away. You mentioned like some features feel like an afterthought and 1st person view definitely feels like that. There are certain decorations and functions that are impossible or very hard to place down when in first person view. It’s also annoyingly difficult to interact with objects in this mode because the tooltip disappears and you cant tell how close or far away your character is from the object you’re trying to interact with. It feels very janky.

I can't believe I missed this video! Very entertaining! For a while now I wished you would make a "10 Things I Wish could come to Dragon Quest Builders 3" video, but honestly this is kind of the next best thing. I know that a DQB3 looks unlikely at the moment, but I think it is still fun to think about.

[@thepokekid01]

I have to say, my favorite thing about Dragon Quest Builders 2 is that NPCs do more stuff, so obviously the thing I hate the most are the limits. Room Limits, but most limits to tell the truth. They do come too soon sometimes. I felt like with the 3 sections they could have at least gave us 300 Rooms for the main island. That said, I can't help but think of your Genie Metaphor, and I feel like "You ask a Genie to make all women love you" and the Genie changes you into a Hello Kitty Doll.

[@BenXC]

Your idea is still on my to do list, but I'll wait for that until we know for sure there will be a DQB3 :)

[@gunkguy5934]

Some tips: put roofs on your crafting, so your not attacked, and have smelting/ cooking etc happening while you craft, ring the bell with a sword, and bells give you all the gratitude on the base

[@MiladyMidori]

I had the same idea about the flute/ocarina. Especially when I'm looking for one specific thing on one of the randomly generated islands. Also I actually enjoyed the story a lot; it was part of the reason I got hooked for a month straight. But yeah, there is a bit too much repetition in the dialog at times. Especially when SOMEONE'S dialog takes FOREVER. I still love this game though. Fingers crossed they fix some of these things in the next one?

[@MainerdLoyd]

Wow I read that really wrong the first time. I skimmed it with my eyes and my brain registered "I hooked for a month straight"

[@jimmyly]

12:12 i fixed that by mapping it to the Dpad as it the least button i used.

[@christophersavignon4191]

The worst part of the game, the one part that made me really furious, was the last bossfight. First, you get wrecked. But hold, it was only scripted. Go through some stupid dialogue (yawn) and try again. Now, I'll kick his ass... Wait, I'm forced to lose again, and endure another bout of stupid dialogue? Grrr. Fine. But now... Another scripted loss! Why the heck does the game even need me for this masturbatory farce! And even more stupid dialogue! Ah, it seems I finally get to play, not that I am even in the mood for it anymore. ...Why is this so easy!?!? This is an insult! First you build my rage with three scripted losses, and now you just give me this baby fight that is impossible to lose! I demand satisfaction! I demand a real challenge, a victory worth fighting for! Fight me in earnest, you cowardly piece of shit! Remember the bossfight in the first part? That was good. Not really hard, but not so laughably simple either. And it didn't give you three scripted losses. Player agency is one of the most important aspects in game design, and they trampled all over it. Square Enix really dropped the ball on this one.

Woah calm down buddy

[@TheDashingRedHornet]

Love your videos man, really helped me out and enjoy the game that much more with your builds and advice. Cheers man!

How do u do split screen

[@oaktreebrannon7375]

I'm having trouble finding the video of the baboon/ gather banana peel boss battle. Can someone please help me out? It's coming up for me today!

[@BenXC]

I think you might mean this one :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5WYoat6gdl1jrc

[@oaktreebrannon7375]

@@BenXC yes ty so much! Your videos have been a tremendous help! I'm redoing my entire base now before the battle. I put my bathroom and small barn underneath the rocks you can't break that create the first fountain. 😎

[@oaktreebrannon7375]

Really I'm more stressed now worrying about missing getting bananas than I am dying or loosing the fight 😂😂😂Maybe if I mess up someone has duped them and will bless me with them? I'm on PS4. I'm Oaktreelady.

[@matthewpoff2077]

Agree with all of these. The biggest two are the super slow dialogue for when Malaroth is hearing the voice and The villagers on the Isle of Awakening and their location limits. How about let me move the tablets around and select the area that each group covers. I would love to do a huge sprawling city where everyone lives, but can't due to the size issues.

[@Dullahan2]

At 7:38, they don't stop for no reason. It's the evening; and all NPCs stop what they're doing to go to sleep.

[@rickylovesyou]

Only two things made me want to break my controller,. The text scenes and the camera in small areas were soul destroying. I guess if I'm being really critical the last third of the story was kind of boring. I hope their next game they flesh out the story alot more.

[@matthewpickett7644]

I wish gratitude could just be automatically added to the counter instead of cluttering up the landscape and forcing me to run around and pick them up or use a bell.

[@BenXC]

Gratitude will automatically be added to you total once they disappear. so no need to collect them ;) when around 128 hearts have been dropped they'll dissappear.

[@kevin4061]

I liked how moveable waypoints and chimera wings made navigation fun and gave exploration a purpose. Now they gave us these warps that stay in one spot and mid-bosses that are nowhere near the warps. Also frap everything about moonbrooke. I hate everything about that island, from the constant rush of enemy waves (I never bothered repairing the town) to the fear of sequence breaking because I knew I needed to make a wall before I could do anything but also knew it was a quest objective to be done later in the chapter.

[@electricblaster7798]

One time i was having the villagers make a blueprint and they just need to place down one more white book to finish it. A worker walked right up to the spot where he was suppose to place it down and then turned 180 degrees and walked all the way back to the chest to put the book away to go eat lunch.

[@BenXC]

That's what I mean. Priceless but annoying :D
