Just a tip that works for many games. If you use cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox, add your game's save folder as a synced location and the cloud storage system will maintain large change history of the save files so if you ever wanted to restore an old version, you can just get it from the history.
I personally use the Enhanced Vanilla ENB. It's essentially what it says... just an upgraded version of the original game with higher fidelity lighting and antialiasing. All the other ENBs are over-the-top with too much contrast, saturation, sharpening, blur, etc.
not really a shame: 1. piss poor graphics 2. outdated animations from 2005 3. small world, lots of backtracking 4. clunky, awful menus 5. anime style setting aimed for kids. Just play Witcher3 or any other RPG
@@robosergTV Just because you don't like it doesn't mean all those things you listed are objectively bad. And yes I play TW3, BG3, and many other RPGs on top of DD. It's okay to dislike stuff, but you don't need to diss what other people like so hard
Universally true, some people though have piss poor judgement to think that this game has outdated graphics that still outshine many major games almost a decade later. I think I've explored every part of the map. I would say its about 60% of the size of Skyrim's map but it's more alive. You won't see like one deer then nothing for awhile. There is always something lurking or just around. Its easy enough on the controls, it is not typical which is not a big deal because it works. Similar to a polished dark souls combat style. The setting is of a huge essence of the greatest rps from long ago. There are other amazing games out there, but this one among them and one of its kind.
The lighting is fine, but the colors are washed out and the contrast is incredibly low. I’m guessing they did it that way on purpose so that it would produce a bright image on all kinds of different screens, but can’t be too sure. I don’t use an ENB, I use SweetFX with custom settings, and all I’ve done is slightly boost the saturation and contrast. Still very vanilla, just how the game should have been on launch
I see MO2 added support for DDDA. Won't have to manually manage mods anymore if it work well. I've never played this game and this gave me a few starters for some graphics updates.
Wondering why you recommend the separate textures of Cleaner Male Body Textures and Cleaner Female Face Texture instead of the Cleaner Female Body Textures (and male) v2.5 which include both? Just wondering if there's is some issues with the newer textures
Fuck DD2's bad optimization, crazy micro-transaction and stupidly over the top price tag. I'm re-downloading DD 1, along with these amazing mods. Thank you creating this wonderful video
Crazy microtransactions? Are we talking about the same game? I finished it in 95 hours and wouldnt even notice their existence if ppl werent crying everywhere. The game never tells you that they exist and you will always have more of the items than you could need.
I agree that it's scummy to indroduce micro transactions. But it's not crazy in any shape or form, everything is so easily obtainable ingame unless you have the attentionspan of an ant
I dropped 90 hours in DD2 and I just realized there are microtransactions 😂 I just looked and by no means are the microtransactions pay to win. People get mad, just to be mad
Im a veteran noob. I started playing on ps3 and only beat it recently on ps5. Most of my time playing was stuck on bitterblack isle for the longest time.
Damn, fellow Norwegian UA-camr covering mods, RESPEKT! I love DD2 but could never get into 1, so I'm wondering if it's worth it and whether there are any visual overhauls that can make the journey back in time a.... bit easier haha

Is there a dragons dogma lore discord or group somewhere i can get in on? People on Facebook tryna tell me there's no lore outside of the cycle and the politics of nations to be found in game. There's so much to speculate on.
Yo rift i have a question regarding save files. I have Dragons Dogma on the ps3 with all of my content. Is there a way to move that save file to a ps4 Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen?
The game ID of the PS3 DDDA may be different from the game ID of the PS4 DDDA, and, therefore, the PS4 may not recognize it as a valid save. You may try this but i'm not sure if it will work (see above): in the PS4, transfer a PS4 DDDA save file to a thumb drive or an external hard drive (be sure that it is the only file in the drive in order to not get confused > using a PC, create a back-up or a copy of this PS4 DDDA save file (it will be in a folder) and save it somewhere in the PC > in the external drive or thumb drive, replace the contents of the PS4 save file folder with the PS3 save file > in the PS4, transfer the modified DDDA save file from the external drive or thumb drive to the PS4. If the game cannot recognize the save file or does not load the save file, then it is what I have said before (different game ID). Remember to restore the back-up save in the PC to the PS4.
Thanks for the video but i have a question: what is your pc configuration? Cause i have a 3070ti and i almost find the game unplayable with Rudy enb i can't understand why, the framerate is crap. It's a shame cause it improves the game so much
Cheers man, yeah I have an RTX 2060 in my rig so nothing crazy. In my experience, anytime I try to play in 4k with an enb it kills my frames. 2k is usually fine tho.
Hey I'm new to modding and a few things in this video did help but I have an armor mod that it's supposed to change some or most of the armor for the The female body but it's only one file do you know where I should put it? Also what if I didn't backup any of my vanilla files what should I do to get them back do I have to uninstall the game and then reinstall it?
I'm feeling very dumb because I'm not getting the save file part. How do you make the notepad extension? And where do you copy and paste files to when you want to swap files?
Is it possible to have 2 mods installed at the same time which both replace the game_main.arc file? I havent been able to figure out how to do that yet
No he deleted this original mod page and compiled the package into one over at the "sneak peak 2 Remastering Dragons Dogma" he mentions it in the description.
Lil late but it used to be just Dragon's dogma. The ps3 version you might still be able to find an old copy with the original Into free intro. But if you get the dlc Dark arisen the game gets even better. Pc version comes with dark arisen as if it was part of the main game. Modding can be a tad tedious since it's different from basically any other game out there. But once you figure it out it's so much fun. And even without mods the game is still amazing.
@@Guardian-of-Light137 if you're there can ya tell me how to fight the ur Dragon? Gathered 20 shards now but I wanna experience everything first before bitter black and before fighting the final boss to new game +
@@allanperez8743 Ok 2 things. 1 You have to go in a certain door in the everfall to fight the ur dragon. If you're online you DEFINITELY will not beat it. It's a raid boss that's several hundered generations in right now meant to be fought by players from all over the world over a period of time. If you're offline you'll get the standard version. Which might still be unbeatable depending on your level. It's a tough boss. 2 DO BITTER BLACK BEFORE USING THE 20 WAKE STONES! Using them is a point of no return you'll have to start a newgame/newgame + otherwise. Also to get the full experience you kiiiinda have to do bitter black twice at minimum. Multiple times if you want the really really good gear.

@@byronbarrientos8471Oh. DD is designed for a small amount of auto saves. It doesn't save between combat encounters, it doesn't save during trips and has very few fast travel points. Multiple saves is not the most neutral possible addition. It fundamentally changes the game. It makes it easier, it removes the stress of traveling and the stress of doing the quests in one go. Saving just before a combat encounter and then reloading is not the same as having the combat encounter after 30 minutes of traveling and lose all progress if you die. It is literally easy mode.
@@iluvatarchem ...what? You realize you can save just before a combat encounter and then reload even without having multiple saves right? Assuming you know it's coming. And if you don't and therefore you don't save before, it doesn't make a difference, no?

I just started this game in 2023 and even without any mods it's so amazing. It's a shame it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
