Dragon's Dogma 2 What You Need to Know & Frequently Asked Questions

[@Garflog643]

There are only 2 playable races, you cannot play as elves.

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Arg, I couldn't find them in the character creator, but everything I read online said it was playable, thanks for the correction. Pinned.

[@Legnakilledme]

You can easily make the ears pointy in the character creator! So hey! I'd say they are playable.

[@Thezzet]

But, the elves are playable!! The difference is that the elves have their own language, besides, only the ears that can be placed on the character creator.

[@Constellasian]

Dragon's Dogma was the first RPG to make me experience large monsters fighting "realistically". I wasn't surprised that Capcom transferred some combat mechanics from Monster Hunter into a RPG, but it was great seeing large creatures throw their weight around. Similar to Monster Hunter, it was great seeing my character thrown back when a dragon swooped by. Heck, I was glad that undead like liches were actually powerful at some points in the game. I hate weak and unterrifying undead in RPGs. Liches traded their humanity for power so it would make sense for them to be terrifying foes. I'm glad to see this system seemed to be improved for DD2.

[@cjloha91]

Im excited for this game. Loved DD1

[@TheIceJester]

I don't need to know more. My pre-order has been done for several days and I'm looking forward to the game. I'm just really sick of seeing some streamers trying to spit on the game lately when 90% of people are hyper into gaming. It seems very hard in 2024 to have honest streamers. The 30 fps will be patch quickly. The devs said so. So this phony excuse to shit on the game doesn't hold up anymore!

[@Breez23]

Exactly my thoughts. Finally someone said it!

[@umbraoni4550]

That's why I never watch streamers or take any insights from them. If you've had experience with titles like DD, and you've been asking and waiting for over a decade, you'll know what you're getting into. A lot of streamers only even consider these games because it's the next big thing to make content off of. I'm excited for this game, and it's the only game this gen that really made me consider finally picking up a PS5 besides Monster Hunter Wilds and GTA VI.

My 2 questions are: 1. Do you have to pick specific vocations to get specific hybrids? I don't want to pick mage to be a jedi and then find out I needed to be melee. 2. I have never played DD, ER, or any souls games either bc they all look like just boss fight games. Sure there are towns and stories, but they look like you just run from boss to boss. I like rpgs. Is this an rpg like the witcher or skyrim or is this a boss churn?

Im excited for the game but i have question that no one seems to answer or mention. How is the in game economy? One thing i find to common in single player games is the economy is broken. Ive always craved a game with an economy where money is actually hard to aquire and purchases feel meaningful/potions you use feel like wasted gold if you misuse them. So how is the economy in dragons dogma 2?

[@floki6548]

we have 0 idea about it

[@ghostsoda7710]

It’s if anything like DD1 , generous enough with money. Remember, you have to upgrade your armor and your pawn. The real costly items were the fast travel port crystal. So probably no money scarcity. Only till release can that be answered

[@floki6548]

@@ghostsoda7710 Without crystals around, I expect gear to cost a lot more but we shall see.

[@Headtalk]

There’s no solid info on the in-game economy yet, but we know a little bit and we can infer a few things. We know from interviews that every method of travel will require money, especially using ferrystones for instant teleportation to preset destinations. You can also hire npcs to create forgeries of important items, which was costly in the first game. Upgrading equipment can also be very expensive. It seems that early on there will be a ton of money sinks, which should keep players from becoming wildly rich quickly. All in all, I expect the economy to be pretty well-balanced and thought out, just off the first game. There were ways to break the first game’s economy, but most of them required prior knowledge and/or intentional exploitation. If I played normally I rarely felt I had way too much money or that money was too easy to acquire. Hope this helps!

New to the game…do the other pawns level with you or do you have to constantly switch out the other 2 pawns as you level to make sure you have level appropriate pawns at all times, with better skills?

[@BRNakamura]

In DD1 the other pawns didn't level up with you, so you had to switch them rather frequently, if you wanted everyone at the same level in your party. I'd imagine it's the same in the DD2.

Nope. All of the hybrid classes are unlocked through questlines for their respective trainers.

Not having quest markers is annoying. Taking the time to locate the quest pickup then trying to find the spot without a clear indicator is a waste of time. Also cant believe they made the map four times larger than the first game and did not address extra forms of fast travel. Sure, exploration might be immersive first few hours but once the novelty wears off it becomes a slog having to run back and forth. Aside from those two gripes I'm looking forward to 120 fps on PC 😅

I'm guess if it's similar to DD1, then multiple main characters, but one save. But in the original DD, they had a looping new game plus, which ties in with the story, then which allows you to edit/create your character before you start your story again. So, they will probably integrate that into this game. And I think you can edit your character anytime at shops and stuff, but you can't change your race from human to beastren for some currency. Vocations are learned from masters or trainers found in the world when you meet certain prerequisites. For example, a side mission they have for you and a certain relation level you have with them.
