Capcom has releaseda fresh updateforDragon’s Dogma 2. In addition to some pretty healthy tweaks, they’ve also thrown in a casual mode in case you want a softer journey.
Actually, taking a look at casual mode, it doesn’t seem massively easier. Here are the defining features, asper the patch notes:
That’s not nothing, but some of the tweaks are weirdly specific. It’s easier, but it’s not exactly dumbing things down to an unreasonable level. I wonder if there are less specific changes they aren’t telling us upfront, like a change in damage given/taken.
Speaking of oddly specific, the rest of the patch notes seem like that. A port crystal being added to Bakbattahl seems like the most exciting addition, since it will be a massive convenience. Aside from that, there are things like new idle animations and new items that can be traded with the Dragonforged. It’s nothing spectacular outside the new difficulty.
There are a lot of balance changes to vocations, as well. It’s a lot to take in, so I’m going todirect you to the patch notesagain for the specific details. There are also a tonne of bug fixes. I didn’t notice very many issues when I played itback around its release, but this looks like a lot.
Dragon’s Dogma 2is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC. The described patch is available today.
