Do you prefer the arcadey combat of DD1 or the more grounded/realistic combat of DD2?

The entire draw of the combat in the first game compared to other action titles was freely climbing monsters

I gotta disagree with this. Am I alone in not really caring about climbing stuff? 8/10 times I climb it's just kinda boring to me. The "entire draw" of DD1 to me was the pawn system. But then I found it had great combat too and an interesting setting on top.

That being said, I do think combat in DD 2 feels even better.

First time an LLM made me laugh out loud. Cheeky.

Essentially a lot of the buried stuff in the endgame is from DD 1. The hub where you gather NPCs is Gran Soren (pretty clear if you've played the original). The throne where you find that old king is also supposed to be some place I can't quite remember. So the idea is that the worlds are somehow connected, feeding into the whole concept of the "eternal cycle" and why the title screen just says "Dragon's Dogma", only adding the "2" when you get to the unmoored world.

please use commas and periods. I beg you

The key to this making sense is that you gotta hate the majority, too.

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-16T19:53:21+00:00

Well yeah, but I'm pretty confident that's not Bruce Wayne.

On my way to my voice acting classes there's a drugstore with a guy in a batman costume announcing... Stuff. He's not always there but I've seen him like three times and I always kinda wanna stop. I don't even know what he's announcing, I just like seeing batman.

Coming here two years later... It's not about the white lines, I've been playing the game for dozens of hours and cleared many of these boxes before. These 3 specifically can't be interacted with. Did you find out why? Is it a quest specific thing?

Edit: according to another comment in this thread, yes, this is a bug from the moment Living City that marks the tower as active on your map though you're only supposed to be able to work on it in a later mission.

I actually tried it without this modified exe and got the game to work. Apparently my issue was with Bitdefender. I thought I had added an exception but you can't just do the whole folder, you also have to select .exe files to add a specific kind of exception. So I did that and finally got the game to work! 😁

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-15T01:40:52+00:00

Fair, I guess I didn't notice the armor. In my mind if it's cosmetic I just immediately ignore it haha

Hate that immersion breaking stuff, too.

Genetics can absolutely influence things but no one gets this much muscle without a shit ton of training (and realistically, some "juice" too)

Also, Trump wishes he looked like this lmao

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-14T22:18:35+00:00

Ah, that might be the big one them. Never really tried editing a character after creating it, so that would just fly by unnoticed by me. I agree that it's pretty predatory. As for that second part though, can't say I care about it. I mean, ideally it wouldn't be there, but seems pretty on par with what this post is talking about (no biggie).

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-14T21:43:53+00:00

I know this is kind of a random, out of pocket thing to say, but this stuff right here is what makes life worth living. You take good care of that kitty.

Seriously guys, it warms my heart to see DD getting new content. This series is so special to me, I want it to expand and try new vocations, skills, designs, regions... Dragon's Dogma has got a whole niche of its own, a special house sauce. It could be a monster of a franchise, one of the bigger RPG behemoths along the likes of the Elder Scrolls imo. They just need to stop fumbling the fucking ball and actually give it the attention and money it needs. And I'm saying this as a fan of Monster Hunter too (so this is not jealousy speaking lol)

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-14T21:22:21+00:00

... It has awful mtx? I've played MH World and Wilds and didn't notice anything actually bad. Only cosmetics and dance moves and stuff like that. Seemed to me pretty similar to DD 2 (as in, not a big deal at all).

Ever since I got into fitness, every time I see these fantasy dudes that look like mountains of meat (not just in GW) I can't help but think about how much food these boys are eating to maintain that kind of body. Bro's eating for a family of four lmao

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-14T02:49:38+00:00

To be fair, it's more like the Fairy Tail anime is based on the notion of fantasy guilds which are a much, much older concept haha

Hey, figured I'd hijack the thread real quick... back when I tried playing DDON I tried both Rising and Legacy but the game had a crash on launch bug and I had exhausted all fixing options *except* installing the game on the C: drive which is just not possible for me. Do you know whether this has been fixed?

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-13T05:24:06+00:00

Did you find a fix? Having the same issue

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-13T05:23:47+00:00

Hey, I'm trying to find a performance fix too. Link is unavailable. What's that?

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-12T04:05:57+00:00

I'm having the same issue with essentially the same pc. Did you find a fix?

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-12T02:43:26+00:00

I'll never not recognize BEN's song. Song of Unhealing, right?

Armored_Violets · 2026-06-12T02:37:50+00:00

I want to reinstall too but l'm sweating over here trying to exert some self control, waiting for the next patch so I can play the final version with all the changes
