Capcom took to the Steam forums to address Dragon's Dogma 2 player backlash after the game was review bombed. Most of the negative criticism is due to the appearance of several microtransaction items after Dragon's Dogma 2 was released on Steam, including some that jeopardize all the claims that director Hideaki Itsuno and the team have made about the game's intended design.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Is Letting Fans Create Their Characters Ahead Of Launch
08.03.2024 - 03:09 / thegamer.com / Hideaki Itsuno
Dragon's Dogma 2 is out in just a couple of weeks, with Capcom doing everything it can to get people ready and hype them up for March 22. We've had several new looks at the game over the past few weeks, including new bits of info regarding the game's frame rate, features, and strangely realistic cooking cutscenes, but Capcom is now letting players get their hands on the game itself by releasing a standalone character creator for the title.
Announced during Capcom's recent highlights showcase, the Dragon's Dogma 2 Character Creator is currently free to download, and will let players create their characters and Main Pawn, so you can get right into the action when the game drops later this month. You'll be able to customize your character's class, looks, features, and do the same for your Main Pawn that will be accompanying you throughout your time with the game.
Once you actually have created your characters, you'll then be able to upload them to the system and the data will then be transferred to the full game when you do eventually grab it. You'll be able to create and store up to five main character designs and five Main Pawn designs, so you can go wild and really nail down the right character and Pawn for your playthrough.
Unfortunately for all you monster creators out there, it doesn't look like you'll have enough creative freedom to make the absolute monstrosities you can find in the likes of Street Fighter 6 or Elden Ring , but there should be plenty of options to tinker with that will keep you busy until launch.
If you want to try your hand at creating your perfect protagonist, you can download the character creator on Steam right this second, and it also should be available to download on the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts as well. Just keep in mind that whichever character you decide to go with, you won't be able to change without deleting your game, as Capcom is still going ahead with the controversial decision for Dragon's Dogma 2 to only have one save slot.
Director Hideaki Itsuno tried to justify this by saying that it was a purposeful decision to "encourage exploration" and to try and prevent save-scumming. Not a bad idea, but kind of annoying that you'll need to wipe all your progress if you want to start a new save for whatever reason.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Devs Are “Not Considering Any Form of Multiplayer”
Capcom and director Hideaki Itsuno’s vision for the original Dragon’s Dogma was to develop a purely single player experience that, through the use of its AI-controlled companions known as Pawns, would emulate the feeling of an MMORPG with other players. The upcoming, long overdue Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to expand on its predecessor in a number of ways – from a larger open world to how much content it’ll offer and much more – but that focus on delivering a purely single player experience isn’t changing.
