Just finished the original a few moments ago with 180 hours clocked in. I've been following your coverage for DD2 and I'm so excited for the sequel now!
I love that you can still give your human elf ears. Like if I cannot BE an elf... I can still hint at being a mixed heritage fellow. I am so excited for this game.
DD2 taking place in a parallel universe just reinforces the plot of the first one and adds to its lore even further,something i hope they flesh out in the sequel since a lot of newcomers have no idea what the game even is about.
Yes! There are so many unanswered questions in the first one. Like, what are pawns exactly? what and where is the rift? If there are more failed arisens (like the duke, barroch, and the dragonforged) than successful ones, why aren't there more of them in the world? Also, being a failed arisen seems like a pretty sweet deal if you don't mind being essentially immortal.
@@heyfell4301 no it's not. The specialization lets them understand elvish language. That makes them elves just about as much as understanding english makes me english.
@@magusjiro True lol, I was right at the end of the video when I saw the comment and Jackdaw said "the game literally launches in the coming days" at 16:01 I was like "what are they talking about??"
@@IowaalldayGuys my opinion is that Dragons Dogma comes out tomorrow. My opinion guys. You guys might think it comes out in a week because that’s the release date, or a couple of days, but In my opinion it comes out tomorrow.
The only returning character that I've seen in trailers was the Dragonforged but since DD2 is in a parallel universe, I'd expect him to be another Dragonforged.
@@matrimelee Yeah, I watched it happen and when it dropped her she seemed to fall in slow motion. After that fight, I used fire to burn off their wings ASAP.
I'd be interested in hiring your Taylor Swift as pawn 😂😂 Also it's good to see Japanese devs start to use more mature content like sex workers and whatnot. It's wild to think we nonchalantly got random 3/4-some and brothel in DAO 15 years ago haha
One thing I'm curious about, and haven't really seen anyone talk about...is the pawn sharing cross platform? Like could someone on PC use a person's pawn from PS5 or Xbox?
I hope they let us pre-load it on PC, I have atrocious internet. If not I'll just spend my time tweaking my characters in the character creator and maybe playing the original.
The cycle was stated to be "ENDLESS" Which implies it's also NOT the first time it could have been "Broken" as nature abhorrs a vacuum. So if this is true and the True Ending is Canon = We don't actually NEED a parallel universe plot (or a guy that gets his heart ripped out and THEN gets a bump on the noggin just to make everything doubly dense to start out...) it just needs to be stated to be like Ragnarok. [The end of one cycle, and the automatic beginning of a new one] Multiverse stuff is either a sign of bad writing from the start, or has to be handled VERY carefully... and I'm not sure based on the story arc in DD1 that will be the case with this one.
all these content creators coming out the wood works on a game some of us have spent hundreds of hours enjoying and exploring, just to sum it up and not give a spoiler to some people who may have wanted to play the game. Should add a spoiler warning since the games are apparently going to be "separate story lines" just ruined the whole ending of the first game within the first 2 minutes of this video supposedly being over dragons dogma 2. . .
A 12 year old game that is amazing. Literally can say "skip ahead" or warn people about spoilers of the first one. Some people would love to play the first one after hearing about this one.
I can’t wait to play Dragon’s Dogma 2. I don’t know if I should start as an Elven Arisen and Pawn, a Human Arisen and Pawn or a Beastren Arisen and Pawn, either both males, both female or male and female. And the classes, should I be a thief, an archer, a mage or a fighter? What Hybrid Class should I be, Trickster, Mystic Archer, Warfarer, Mystic Spearhand?
Play as your favorites, you will have more fun! As for vocations you will most likely want to level up most, if not all, over the course of the game to unlock augments (perks) from each vocation.
As for your looks,youll most likely be able to modify later in the game just like in the first game and as for the vocations,theres no restriction on which ones you can play as (as long as you have access to them) and in fact,DD encourages the player to switch and max out all vocations constantly during your playthrough.
There's only one downside to gender that may be in 2 like it was in the first. That females excite and are targeted by ogres in fights. They literally will focus on killing the women first, when you encounter one with a pawn that knows about ogres they'll comment "the sight of women excites them" 👀 but either way they'll still fight whomever they run across. There were also a couple factions that didn't take kindly to a male character or pawn either so we'll just have to wait and see. But they are right there aren't any benefits to gender or race other than worldly interactions and comments.
i never know what to choose in these games so i use the opposite of what people use, i' pretty sure everyone is gonna go with warrior, i'm gonna use something else idk
Without pawns, we would never know that WOLVES HUNT IN PACKS!
Or that trees look bigger up close
Hopefully the world feels more alive than the first game with more people in the cities. The first game felt like a ghost town in alot of places.
The character creation is unreal. Thumbnail looks very similar to Taylor Swaft.
Thats the first thing I thought. I was thinking is that Taylor! She really is everywhere and I love it lol
I'm guessing the pointy eared Arisen is half elf, but raised among humans which explains why they don't speak elf.
That's how see it myself. Funny and cool to see that someone else looked at it as the arisen being a half elf.
Just finished the original a few moments ago with 180 hours clocked in. I've been following your coverage for DD2 and I'm so excited for the sequel now!
Just done the quest to kill the Gryphon. Im really enjoying it 😅
Ah thank you so much!!
I love that you can still give your human elf ears.

In what world can a pawn be an elf? We literally have the character creator available and there's no such option.
It's a passive skill that will be available in the actual game. That's confirmed information.
@@heyfell4301 no it's not. The specialization lets them understand elvish language. That makes them elves just about as much as understanding english makes me english.
Ha Ha you've "Taylored" your main pawn.
😂 I see what you did there.
she looks way better than TS
Its not really a couple of days away- more like over a week away XD
He didn't say a couple of days away, he said "in the coming days"
@@magusjiro True lol, I was right at the end of the video when I saw the comment and Jackdaw said "the game literally launches in the coming days" at 16:01
I was like "what are they talking about??"
The fact you commented this is honestly pathetic grow up.
a couple of days? I wish! still a full week at least.
For some people that's a couple days for others it's not. There's something called ( opinions)
@@IowaalldayGuys my opinion is that Dragons Dogma comes out tomorrow. My opinion guys. You guys might think it comes out in a week because that’s the release date, or a couple of days, but In my opinion it comes out tomorrow.
@@Mohgenstein 😂😂
Your arisen has their heart with the dragon. until you kill it.
The same romance system as in the first game? Their masterworks all! You can't go wrong with them! Steel is what you need!
The only returning character that I've seen in trailers was the Dragonforged but since DD2 is in a parallel universe, I'd expect him to be another Dragonforged.
Ill be looking online everyday for how to get magic archer as i search for it in game lol
I couldn't help myself and makde my main pawn a Beastren.
Hoping people make mods for the romancable characters to change their looks. Or add the custom pawn mesh in their place.
In DD1, I had the Witch Girl with me when we were attacked by harpies.
One picked her up, flew high in the air, and dropped her. She died.
sad!
@@matrimelee Yeah, I watched it happen and when it dropped her she seemed to fall in slow motion. After that fight, I used fire to burn off their wings ASAP.

Great video! Man I love your accent
Hey, thanks!
Everything I am excited for everything and can’t wait to slay that dragon
you already know it’s gonna be cinematic af, grigoris fight went so hard.
Do the beastren have better vision at night?! That would be a huge gameplay bonus to want to play that race.
One thing I'm curious about, and haven't really seen anyone talk about...is the pawn sharing cross platform? Like could someone on PC use a person's pawn from PS5 or Xbox?
yes
The mod support might mess things up

While the basic concept behind Dragon's Dogma is interesting, I don't think anyone played the game for the story.

So if this is true and the True Ending is Canon = We don't actually NEED a parallel universe plot (or a guy that gets his heart ripped out and THEN gets a bump on the noggin just to make everything doubly dense to start out...) it just needs to be stated to be like Ragnarok.

A spoiler warning for a 12 year old game?
Absolutely. The title mentions nothing about the first game and for people who haven't played it this is a spoiler. @@YoKyvo
Bah it’s explaining the setting? I mean @YoKyvo is right, it’s a 12yo game…

@@naralishamalainen6372 And which factions are completely sexist towards the Arisen and his/her pawn if they’re either male or female?
A couple is 2.
Does anyone kno if you can get married or sum?
You could give someone a ring in the first one but nothing more. Well then staying at your house
Why was my comment hidden? Which part didn’t you like?
By the time a game releases you've already seen half of it because these "help" videos.
Then don't watch them. Why are you complaining about something entirely in your control?
Thank god I have pc because there’s no way in hell I’m playing this at 30 FPS
4080 Super ftw.
you should know the tests were in 4k, but i agree i'm using my 4080 : )
