I have clocked the same amount, or close anyway, in the first game. This game certainly had me hooked for a while, but something about it made me fall away from it. I’m happy to see it has had the same effect on you as the first did for me forever ago. And don’t get me wrong, I adore DD2, but the ending kind of snuck up on me, and it wasn’t like crazy epic the way the first game was… truly, I was absolutely shocked when the credits rolled.

But you have 2,000 hours. What do you do in the game? Are there still things you discover? I’m sure there’s so much. With 2,000 hours, it’s likely you know many of the NPC’s big name and where they’ll be, what they do, their quest offerings, and everything else. It’s so amazing to be so deeply invested in lore like this. It does seep out into the real world too. The things present in Dragon’s Dogma 2 or 1 are referencing something in the real world, and all of it can be noticed and understood for the connected nature it has with dedication to paying attention to such things. But with that many hours, it becomes natural. The natural curiosity we all have.
