What you need to know

  • As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
  • Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
  • In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

When you turn off autocorrect or try something like Simple Keyboard (don't use it anymore fyi).

It was anysoftkeyboard. I have been using it for years at this point but its layout is so fucked up it still gets me typing funny

Your character is stored online because of the online functionality, so I think so

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Only if you want to get online pawns. You can play offline.

I believe your character is stored locally. Some people assume it's online because they're dumb and are confused by Steam Cloud (which can be disabled) bringing their save back after they delete it, but your game files are only backed up by Steam, not Capcom.
