Topic: Dragons Dogma 2

@Ravix Noted. Thanks.

@Yagami something more in line with quest structure from DD1. I didn't play a lot of it, as I'd only heard of it when this one was coming out and tried out Dark Arisen just to see what it was about, but it seemed a little more unique and free in the first game, whereas DD2 seemed a little bit more standard RPG, even though it wasn't 'hand holdy' it wasn't quite the same feeling I got from my very limited time I'm DDDA.

Other than that, just an excuse to go on another adventure with Tim Roth 😅 which has been my gaming highlight of the year, and very specific to me (and anyone who hired him)

I'd quite like an Elf-centric storyline in the DD world too. I imagine there were times where the Elves were at their height, as there is in other fantasy settings? Not exactly sure of the specific lore in DD in regards to that though.

@Yagami judging by the similarities between DD1 and DD2, I won't need to, if they do a DLC that is basically the same but in the new game 😛

Ah, so there is a blank slate for the races. It'd be quite cool to see a massive prequel then. There are small threads about the first King and Arisen being a kitty cat, for example, right? Maybe they did that so they could expand on the history of the worlds at some point.

Anyone know If I start new game plus will Tim Roth vanish forever? 😭

What happens to everyone's Pawns on a restart? I've just left him in perpetual post-game, where I guess he's still been available for hire (?) out of respect for his legend, but I'm tempted to jump in and check out the new game plus for if any DLC drops 😬

And if there's DLC, do we think it will be a new save, or a carry over save from your current game progress?

@ApostateMage just gonna tag you real quick for my last question 🫡

@Ravix For NG+, I'm pretty sure you can either use your old faithful pawn or create a new one. You get the option to change your Arisen's appearance too.

@ApostateMage cheers, mate 😁 I guess I might fire it up to see how the old fellow is doing, and maybe cure his red eyes. I hope it stayed on the Pawn server like that for people to rent, but when new game starts there won't be a way to see the "journies i've been on with other Arisen" screen. So maybe it won't have been on the active server until the new game starts 🤔

I do kind of want to make a new Pawn, but I don't think playing through the DLC (if it comes) will feel quite right without using OG player pawns.

Was Nysteria yours? If I'm remembering correctly. I'd imagine maybe a similar feeling could creep in if you started a new chapter without them? 😅

@Ravix Yeah, I kept Nysterica just the way she was. I did actually do a fresh playthrough on an alternate account with a brand new Arisen and Pawn, then hired Nysterica and Tim for their journey. Loved that they both took charge in every quest.
I loaded it up recently to check out the latest patch and it was good to see the old gang again.
