Wow, they actually listened and are putting in a 30 cap. I honestly figured it would be like MHW where they just ignored everybody complaining and left it uncapped.Shared on FB from Dragons Dogma page:
To all Dragon's Dogma 2 players!
We're planning to release patches including the following updates and fixes in the near future, and will release them as soon as they are ready for distribution on each platform.
Thank you for your patience and support!
Nice with the ray tracing toggle too, although it still won’t really fix the framerate problem in the city it will probably help with the chugging during big battles.

couldn't agree more. if you get the plague and all the npcs die, just play through it. it will give you a different experience. my favorite Zelda has always been the original. This game feels more like it than any game i have played, down to the slimes roaming the world.

What's up with pawns and ladders? They wont shut up about them man... if it weren't for the Arisen I'm sure the pawns would be worshipping the nearest ladder instead.

Pawns are bit too chatty overall. And man......do they suck up to the Arisen or what? "Pray don't question how the Arisen spends or doesn't spend coin, mutha fucker!" "Pray, don't rush the Arisen, mutha fucker!"
I really wish they would say "mutha fucker". Would be hilarious.

"Look a ladder!"
"I wonder where the ladder leads to!"
Then the fucking NPC fall to their deaths oh so many times because while they are super alert to ladders, they stumble like dumbasses around cliffs

I'm almost level 20 now and still doing stuff around Vernworth. Explored most of the area North, barely explored the West and still have to explore the East Woods.
Found a location with both a Griffin and a Golem and decided to save that for another trip. I pick up so much shit along the way, but encumbrance hasn't been too much of a problem yet.

I really need to explore off the beaten path a bit more. I've been sticking to the roads way too much I think.

I explore all over and try to follow every path at least once. SO many chests hidden in hard to reach places. I found an area that may or may not be story related, but it was hidden high up near a bandit camp. Still need to go back and actually explore it.

Best shot is just use a guide to go through the early areas. Chances are it's one of the tokens in Melve or something.
Otherwise, you might be screwed like me.

I think I've resided with the fact I'm never gonna get back to Merle, so I took the Oxcart and a quest to kill things in the way, all going well, dozed off...
..Awoke to a fucking Griffin attacking, so jumped on its back and attacked its head...
Only for it to fucking take off and fly me to the North West of the fucking Map as far away as I'd been before with no way of making it land
What a great game

How would Pawns react to the Fellowship of the Ring?

My pawns pointed out that we only had humans in our group. Their awareness is a nice touch IMO.
Ya know, Master Baggins. We aught be in a sausage party. Not that I'm complaining mind you.

So we were in a cave and my main pawn see a black chest in an elevated place that no one can reach, so she ask me if she can demonstrate her prowess with magic or some shit i and tell her to go, so she levitate into the chest and then she stays there on the side of the chest but she doesn't want to open the chest, i tried like 20 times to make her go down and up again but she just refuse to open the chest.

I bought the game but due to gaming OCD I thought it be best to actually get around to finishing the 1st from scratch.
I forgot how hard hard can be in the 1st. One hit kills ahoy!

It’s only rough in the beginning. Once you level up some, hire the right pawns, it gets much easier.

I never finished 1 even though I loved it. You can totally skip 1 and enjoy 2 like I am, and I usually have to finish everything in a series to move on.

Hard mode isn't even for playing from scratch, it didn't exist when the first game launched and was an addition for people who wanted more of a challenge for their endgame gear; you're torturing yourself for no reason.Just reached level 30, it's starting to become a slog. Just want to boot up the 2nd now

I expect at least fours hours alone on the character creator

I played the first one for like 50 hours a month ago and now i realized that i'm a bit burned out by the formula with the sequel so i may pause for a bit and wait for some patches (even if it run pretty fine on my rig).
Not everyone experiment burning out in the same way but i feel like both games are extremely similar so it can happen.

I love how much this joke aged like milk. Star Wars is such a joke now, and the LotR is still the GOAT.

Original SW trilogy is still better than anything LotR.
That said, John Wick is the best movie series of all time.

Might’ve been able to make a case if not for RotJ. I like it, but everything in between Jabba’s Palace and Luke/Vader/Emperor is pretty bad.

They are all lame. Tolkien's books are good though. The Hobbit is a great story in particular.Original SW trilogy is still better than anything LotR.

Eh if the 3rd set of movies had good writing and replaced Rey with super hot Mara Jade or maybe stuck to the original script and introduced the Yuuzhan Vong and actually didn't bastardize Luke Skywalker Star Wars wouldn't be as divided as it is.
LotR will always be the GOAT because Tolkien lore is the best lore ever and has inspired many for decades.

I'm having a love/hate affair with this game.
On one hand, it's too easy (doesn't help that I'm playing as a Thief, skull splitter is busted) and I was expecting way, way more dungeon crawling. Plus, the game has the ugliest skybox I've ever seen!
On the other, the combat itself is very fun and the exploration is great too, the overworld feels like a maze sometimes and there's a ton of verticality.
The quests are also nice, some of them are very straight forward and kind of remember me of TES games, while others are much cooler because they don't tell you how to solve them, but instead you have to use your brain or just be lucky. Cool stuff.
I think this is a game to be taken very slow. I have the main quest at the point of assiting the coronation but I'd rather just keep exploring, finding more stuff and sidequests to do.
So yeah, a bit disappointed since they didn't learn from the first game about game balance and challenge, but still having a ton of fun.

Yeah I think if you're keeping your pawns up to date the game is pretty easy for most fights. The big dudes seem like the only real challenge so far, and even then depending on your level sometimes you're not in much danger, just takes some time. At least in the first 15-20 hours, I imagine the challenge could ramp up later in the game.

Hire slightly lower level pawns to make it a little more challenging. Or just go with 2.
Obviously not the best workaround, but maybe would make it more enjoyable.

Could play without pawns or just main pawn. Or Trickster without any Pawns.

for me, I took the fucker and his team to the cave to eliminate the chimera.
But as the next day started, he fucked off because "passage of time" and he does not care anymore. He left to the capital without me lol.
What's so amazing about it is that you don't need his letter to get in the city !
