@Splat Nice work on the platinum, that can't have been easy. I didn't get anywhere close to it.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has captivated the hearts of newcomers and veterans alike, but one of its players shared a concept of how the game could further expand on its list of vocations. While the excitement around Dragon's Dogma 2 was notably high prior to release, it has since firmly established itself as Capcom's most successful launch on Steam. Despite the initial negativity over its microtransactions and performance issues, it has ultimately done little to deter players from enjoying Dragon's Dogma 2 and all the fun that its unique open world experience can provide.
Though it suffers from some of the same shortcomings as its predecessor did, many players would agree that the vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2 are one of the game's highlights. Not only is the Arisen allowed to switch vocations in an easy and convenient way, but they are also rewarded for doing so thanks to the augments in Dragon's Dogma 2. That being said, a majority of fans were expecting more vocations at the launch of Dragon's Dogma 2 than what they ended up with.
After the Strider was split into the Archer and Thief, and the Trickster introduced a purple and pink color scheme, Dragon's Dogma 2 players began to wonder just how expansive the new system of vocations could be. Perhaps the most comprehensive and most plausible concept was made by SippinEstus, who shared it with the rest of the Dragon's Dogma community on Reddit. The concept combines archetypes from the first Dragon's Dogma, as well as from the canceled Dragon's Dogma Online, to create a list of future vocations that Capcom could make during its post-launch support of Dragon's Dogma 2.
While the Mystic Spearhand in Dragon's Dogma 2 is a certified hit among players, fans of the Mystic Knight are still hoping that Capcom adds the mace-wielding class sometime in the future. The concept of a Paladin, as shown in SippinEstus' vocations list, could effectively be a Mystic Knight that thematically uses holy spells and divine power. It would also bring back the popular Strider from the first game, as well as the Alchemist from Dragon's Dogma Online.
That being said, many players believe that simply expanding on the vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2 would be a fruitless endeavor if the game's bestiary isn't addressed. A common critique of the game has been its lack of variety when it comes to fighting enemies found in the wilderness, and as such, it could be a valuable direction for Dragon's Dogma 2 to build its content updates around. Though it remains to be seen what Capcom does with Dragon's Dogma 2, the potential to take the game to a new level is certainly there.

A recent leak from the Genshin Impact community has revealed which 4-Star characters will accompany Arlecchino and Lyney in the first half of Version 4.6. While the Event Banners for the upcoming Genshin Impact patch were known ahead of time, with Wanderer and Baizhu making a surprise appearance in the second half of Version 4.6, the lineup of 4-Star characters has always been harder to pinpoint.
A Mafia series announcement is on the horizon, a well-known leaker has claimed. The purported bit of upcoming news is plausibly related to the fourth mainline Mafia game.
A Fortnite player has a unique idea for LEGO Backblings of all the skins that gamers have acquired over the years. The LEGO collaboration has resulted in an influx of players who may not have joined Fortnite otherwise, and this idea may bridge the gap with the Battle Royale mode.
@ApostateMage haha these moments are the best. This is the location I had wandered off to while getting side tracked from everything else. I went in a sorcerer (I think) and came back as a Magick Archer, then switched to thief at Bakbhattal after i'd levelled up to about MA lv5.
@Splat You aren’t really. The game is designed to be played multiple times so if you can’t stumble upon it, theoretically that is what NG+ is for.
offers ten unique player character classes, catering to an array of diverse playstyles. Initially, only four starter Vocations are available; the rest, including the melee-focused Warrior class, can be unlocked by completing various quests or visiting a Vocation Maister. Unlocking the Warrior class involves completing an engaging quest that is challenging yet still manageable in the early stages of the game.
I really wish they would put a checkmark next to a dungeon after you have cleared them. I want to do them all and it makes it a real pain.
A smart Helldivers 2 player online has discovered an interesting way to use the new LAS-99 Quasar Cannon Stratagem, which could make completing some Automaton objectives much easier. While Helldivers 2 offers a wide arsenal of weapons to complete objectives, this new addition could be among the most useful.
Xiao Luohao, head of the writing team for Genshin Impact, revealed in a recent interview that some of the unanswered plot points from Sumeru are, in fact, future content. Though the main appeal of Genshin Impact has always been its colorful cast of characters, fans also fell in love with the world of Teyvat and its lore. The format of annually traveling to different nations during the player's journey has allowed the developers to cleverly pace out the flow of content, and design character banners focused around each region of Teyvat.
Genshin Impact has officially revealed the second half Event Banners for Version 4.5, and to no one's surprise, Kaveh is once again missing from among the list of 4-Stars. Though Version 4.5 of Genshin Impact could be described as a quiet patch, with no new zones or artifact domains, its Flagship Event «Alchemical Ascension» has been incredibly popular among fans. Not only did it give players a chance to stock up on Primogems for a few extra pulls on Itto and Chiori's banners, but it also introduced a fun mini-game that many fans are hopeful becomes a permanent fixture of Genshin Impact in the future.
Genshin Impact is expected to release Version 4.6 on April 24, 2024, and players can now have an estimated Primogem count for the new update. While Genshin Impact has been praised for its addictive open world exploration and engaging elemental combat, it is a gacha game at heart, and as such, players are expected to spend Primogems to obtain powerful characters for their team. Whereas Version 4.5 had a Primogem drought that could easily rival Version 3.2, the upcoming patch is set to have a much higher count by comparison.
