Summary
Dragon’s Dogma 2is fast approaching its release date, but that hasn’t stopped aDragon Agefan from recreating Cassandra Pentaghast using the game’s powerful character creation tools. Though its predecessor was also famous for having a good character creation system,Dragon’s Dogma 2appears to have taken the concept to another level entirely. The accuracy and level of fidelity that fans have been able to recreate popular characters from other IPs has been nothing short of astounding, which has arguably been a major contributor to Capcom’s marketing campaign forDragon’s Dogma 2.
Dragon’s Dogma 2released its character creatora few weeks ahead of launch, allowing fans and potential players to preview Capcom’s vision for the sequel, and thus make a decision if pre-orderingDragon’s Dogma 2is worth it. Though it does not have any combat gameplay on its own, it has given players an opportunity to create their Arisen and Main Pawn before the full release ofDragon’s Dogma 2.
For flamingoturmeric, this opportunity was used to recreateCassandra fromDragon Age: Inquisition, sharing the results with the rest of theDragon Agecommunity on Reddit. Cassandra has been a fan-favorite since her debut in the secondDragon Agetitle, and her recreation inDragon’s Dogmacertainly evokes her fierceness and charm. Unfortunately, theDragon Agefranchise is experiencing a bit of a drought, as fans have patiently waited years for an in-depth dive intoDragon Age: Dreadwolf. Though BioWare is expected to finally showcase the sequel in 2024, playingDragon’s Dogma 2could be a decent way to make the wait more tolerable.
How the Character Creator Works in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Players who want to check out Capcom’s upcoming release can download theDragon’s Dogma 2Character Creator & Storage on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox for free. Doing so, they will be able to create and store up to five unique Arisen characters and Main Pawns. Whereas the Arisen is the game’s protagonist, it’s important to note that the combat relies on teamwork between the player and their Pawns. TheMain Pawn inDragon’s Dogma 2can be extensively customized by the player, both in terms of appearance, class, and even behavior. However, the other two Pawns are instead hired from a Pawn Network by entering into a covenant with other players.
Players can use the character creation tools to make original looks for their Arisen and Main Pawn, or they can use them to recreate pop culture characters such asLink and Zelda inDragon’s Dogma 2. The character creator only allows them to assign the four basic Vocations to both the Arisen and the Main Pawn, as advanced Vocations will be unlocked within the game itself. If players find the rest ofDragon’s Dogma 2’s gameplay comparable in ambition to its character creation system, it could establish itself as one of the best titles of 2024.
