A new Dragon's Dogma 2 patch is here to remedy progression-blocking bugs, but PC players are frustrated that it hasn't addressed performance issues prevalent since launch.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Getting Destroyed By Dragonsplague
25.03.2024 - 15:07 / thegamer.com
Dragon's Dogma 2 players are getting their save files absolutely destroyed by Dragonsplague, as the game severely punishes anyone who ignores the signs of this mysterious illness. If you keep an afflicted pawn in your party for too long, the results will be much worse than having an uncooperative party member and could stop you from making progress in the story.
Now that players are making their way through the game, some didn't heed the warnings about their pawns getting Dragonsplague. They're now in for a rude awakening, as without any warning, infected pawns are transforming into dragons, destroying whatever village they're resting in. According to some, this has killed NPCs that are needed for story progress, leaving players unsure how to continue in their doomed save file.
As you can see in the video above, the streets are empty after the Dragonsplague attack. You certainly pay a high price for ignoring the illness for too long. This is a fact that the game is very eager to rub in your face, as another player shared a screenshot of the message you'll be greeted with should this happen to your pawn.
If this happens to you, it is possible to bring back an important NPC that you need. It will cost you a Wakestone, but that's a small price to pay for actually being able to progress the story. You'll be stuck collecting Wakestone shards for a while if you want to bring back the entire village though - the morgue is going to be stacked.
Players are still making discoveries in Dragon's Dogma 2, as the game only launched last Friday. Heck, when I initially covered Dragonsplague, I made no mention of the fact that it could destroy entire settlements... because none of us realised that it could. So, I do apologise to anyone who read my initial coverage of the ailment and thought that the worst thing about it was having some slightly unresponsive pawns. As we know now, it's much, much worse, so definitely listen to your pawns when they say they're feeling ill.

Dragon Dogma 2’s cursed endgame is nothing but dessert
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is about the journey, not the destination. It’s about exploring routes you’ve never taken before, camping in the wilderness, and having an unexpected run in with a Minotaur. Quests objectives are also left intentionally vague, forcing you to puzzle things out and speak to as many people as you can. If you could just easily fast travel to obvious quest markers you could certainly check them off your list more efficiently, but then you’d miss out entirely on the adventure of getting there.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Modders Are Getting Rid Of Dragonsplague
Dragon's Dogma 2 has plenty of obstacles to overcome, but one major nuisance causing players a lot of headaches is Dragonsplague, a disease that can cause a Pawn to turn into a massive dragon and kill everything in a 10-mile radius if not treated properly. Players have come up with various methods of keeping Dragonsplague at bay, including throwing their Pawns in the nearest body of water, but now the modders have got involved.

@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.

One Dragon’s Dogma 2 Quest Gets You A Free House (But There’s A Catch)
Like other fantasy open-world RPGs, allows the player to have an abode of their own. Although there are multiple choices in Capcom's newest title for a player's home, spread across multiple locations, this home in the Common Quarter of Venworth, Vermund's capital, is technically free, at least for a period of time. Despite not costing in-game gold, it will cost time to do, being involved in a side quest associated with an NPC.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Player Shares Amazing Concept for Future Vocations
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.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Diving Onto NPCs To Avoid Fall Damage
Fall damage is a beast in Dragon's Dogma 2 all of its own. There you are, minding your business on a slippery, slanted rooftop when, all of a sudden, you hurl off the side and land flat on your face as your pawns point and laugh at you like Nelson in The Simpsons. Luckily, there's a way to avoid leaving your entrails on the pavement.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Fed Up With The Lack Of Armor Variety
Dragon's Dogma 2 is pretty fantastic - I'm sure you'll struggle to find a fan of the series that doesn't hold that viewpoint. That doesn't mean it's perfect though, as while the game is looking like one of 2024's best, there are some things that are beginning to irk players that have sunk a significant amount of time into the game. Earlier this week, fans were complaining about the lack of enemy variety, and it turns out the beasties in Dragon's Dogma 2 aren't the only things that are getting a little repetitive.

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.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Gifting Each Other Forged Items
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a pretty unique game in that it's strictly single player, as you won't run into anyone on your travels, but it has lots of multiplayer elements thanks to the Pawn system. You'll come across various user-created Pawns during your time with Dragon's Dogma 2, which can be recruited and brought along for their combat prowess, healing abilities, or stylish threads.
