DRAGON'S DOGMA 2: Patch verbessert Verhalten von Vasallen und Drachenpest

Apr 25, 2024 12:30 PM

The latest update for Dragon's Dogma 2 introduces significant quality-of-life improvements, particularly focusing on the companion NPCs, known as Pawns. Capcom has implemented changes to the Pawns' behaviors, aiming to reduce frustration among players. For example, Pawns infected with the in-game affliction known as Dragonblight now exhibit clearer symptoms, such as glowing red eyes, enabling players to recognize the infection more easily.

Additionally, the Pawns will exhibit more sensible behavior, such as not falling off cliffs as often and providing accurate guidance when offered. Dialogue lines from the Pawns have been adjusted to better suit the situation in the game, adding to the immersive experience. Free Pawns roaming the world will also approach the player less frequently, addressing an issue where they would offer their assistance too often. Furthermore, the game's mini-map will no longer display already-looted treasure chests, and players can now zoom in closer to their Arisen and Pawns on the status screen.

These updates are part of Capcom's ongoing efforts to enhance gameplay and respond to community feedback. A full list of patch notes is available on the Dragon's Dogma 2 website. Additionally, for those needing even clearer indications of Dragonblight, a mod has been mentioned that could be of assistance.

What is Dragonblight and how does it affect gameplay in Dragon's Dogma 2?

Dragonblight is a contagious in-game disease affecting Pawns in Dragon's Dogma 2. It manifests with visual symptoms, such as red glowing eyes, and can impede the Pawns' effectiveness. The latest patch makes these symptoms clearer, allowing players to manage the condition more effectively.

Dragon's Dogma is an action RPG from Capcom that first released in 2012, distinguished by its open world, innovative Pawn system, and action-packed combat. The long-awaited sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2, is expected to continue the legacy with interactive environments, deep lore, and the Pawns' return, who provide assistance and companionship to the players on their adventure. The series garners praise for its unique mechanics and engaging fantasy world, presenting a blend of exploration, battle, and strategic elements.
