Dragon's Dogma 2 has received a new mod, allowing players to start a new game and play multiple characters along the way through unlimited save files per character.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t care if you’re new, it’ll still kick your ass
06.03.2024 - 01:13 / polygon.com
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is like a fantasy-inspired installment of 1000 Ways to Die, if a hands-on preview attended by Polygon is any indication.
Last week, Polygon was invited to a three-hour hands-on preview of Capcom’s forthcoming action game, which follows a game with an unconventional pedigree. The original Dragon’s Dogma is something of an enigma, a third-person, heavily combat-oriented action RPG released in the post-Skyrim fantasy boom. While it didn’t immediately find a wide audience, it attained bona fide cult classic status over the years, buoyed in part by a 2013 rerelease (Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen). Dragon’s Dogma 2 straddles the line between sequel and reboot; you do not need to have played the original to make sense of this one, though perhaps familiarity with the series would’ve kept me more alive.
During one early fight, a giant eagle flew out of nowhere, picked me up, and tossed me 100 feet off a cliff into the ocean. Then, the water literally ate me. That was far from the only time I died. I also got stepped on by a dragon, electrocuted by a griffin, frozen solid by a harpy, kicked by a golem, sucker-punched by an ogre, and mercilessly whaled on by a group of club-wielding orcs. Wolves ate my face. I fell off (so many) cliffs. But I pressed on, only truly brought to heel by one thing: a gate.
Our preview of the sequel was broken into two distinct 90-minute sessions, each one showcasing a different vocation (class, basically) at a different point in the game. For the first session, I played as the Mystic Spearhand vocation and was tasked with entering Battahl, a nation of cat-people known as beastren. Seemed easy enough. Needless to say, it wasn’t.
Early on, I spotted a writ of passage for the border in my inventory. I figured I could use it, but because I wasn’t a beastren, the guard at the gate refused to let me through. So I went into the nearby village to see if I could find an alternate path through the gate, but instead found myself inundated with distractions. Every few steps, some NPC stopped me in my tracks. A shopkeeper asked me to find his missing grandson but did not provide any clue as to where he was — a waypoint on a map, say. Two civilians asked me to track down something called a “Jadeite egg.” Both of them promised a reward. Neither offered a waypoint.
Some side quests are time-limited in Dragon’s Dogma 2. If you don’t finish certain quests in real time, you fail them permanently — meaning, if you take on too many quests at once, you’re all but guaranteeing you won’t be able to 100% this game. I opted to track down and save the shopkeeper’s grandson, partially because I’m too much of a hero to let an innocent child die, but mostly because I overheard a PR representative

All the ways Dragon’s Dogma 2 will fight against you
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a fascinating open-world fantasy role-playing game that gives players great freedom to explore and deep customization options to build their character and party. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is also incredibly restrictive. It doesn’t care much about your expectations of it based on other games you might’ve played (e.g., Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3), nor does it follow many conventions of modern game design.

Bodies Bodies Bodies, a horror movie about how talking shit will kill your ass, is now on Netflix
Here’s a very old way to think about a movie about very young people: In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus — please don’t go, I promise this will be funny — feels compelled to talk about murder. He says it’s bad (pretty uncontroversial) and then, as Jesus stories are wont to do, takes a wild left turn to say, “That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say, ‘Thou fool,’ shall be in danger of hell fire.”
