Honestly, to me it felt like the main character of DD2 was your Main Pawn because the ending held such a surprising amount of emotion. After thinking on it a bit, it really felt like the Arisen was “the focus” of the in game world, but a secondary(or maybe complimentary) piece in the story they were trying to tell. I feel there is so much untapped potential here for an amazing story between the Arisen and their Main Pawn… I mean the game already has an incredible story, only problem are the braindead writers who can’t present a cohesive storytelling to save their lives😂. Like, in that last cutscene in endgame, your Pawn shows more character development and emotion than all “romanceable” random (and story critical) NPCs in the entire game combined. I loved my pawn from the moment I created her, but that scene..that one scene made me realize she was my favourite character in the entire game. And it felt absolutely criminal that the one character I truly cared about was never really explored and expanded in the way it feels like they should have been… including not being able to make them my Arisen’s beloved in the end, maybe as a super secret ending??? (in my headcanon she definitely is, to hell with the elf dude who I randomly did 1 more escort quest with 😂)… But great video man!! I mean…. It inspired me to write this long ass comment. Imma just take my copium pills now and hope something changes in DD3 lol

@yanmpy1 I too believe our pawns story is really good. The final fight with the giant dragon was really touching. I've never had a side character I've held so dearly, like I do to my main pawn. They're just so endearing in this game compared to the first, they truly feel like they care about our arisen. And seeing them grow so much at the end was awesome. Also I kind of hated seeing my pawn be in pain from the gods sway on the way to the castle, and our arisen did nothing 😂 just stared. I wanted to like comfort her. But my pawn is also supposed to be my dog lol so it's hard to see her in pain.

That would make sense if your pawn had more cutscenes in the main game. Only time they were shown was the first meeting when you create them, when you go into the castle but can’t because of the godsway, and the ending when they turn into a dragon and if you have a high affinity they have a nice little moment. Other than that they’re just there like a pawn. Even with the talos it was just them going inside and then out and nothing more. They don’t even bring it up. So nah your main character wasn’t the pawn
