A friend of mine recommended the first Dragon's Dogma to me a few years ago and convinced me to give it a try. I fell in love with the combat system, but never went too far into the game because the story, dialogues and characters were dull and insipid and gave me no reason to feel interested in the game's world.

It's so difficult to find good RPG games with a good story nowadays. I don't expect DD2 to radically improve in this regard, but I hope they will at least try a bit more in the story department.

The bar was set so low for the writing in DD1 that literally anything more is an improvement.

I loved the shit out of that game, but you are correct. As long as I can still marry Caxton I'll be happy.

Honestly I kinda loved how bad it was

[–] all-knight-party@kbin.run 2 points 2 years ago

Most of the actual story wasn't funny bad, it was just unmemorable boring bad. Choice few things were funny, it almost entirely begins and ends with Caxton

Please don’t make me juggle stamina while running around trying to keep my pawns alive.

Amazing! Everything I can do in DD1 and poke things with a stick? I am so hyped. I might have to throw Rook off a bridge to celebrate.

This looks amazing. Being able to switch your class at any time seems a bit weird. I wonder why they don't just have you take control of one of the other characters in your party instead?

glad they added khajit, that was my main complaint from the first game
