Dragon's Dogma 2 - What vocation we picking?

Any of you over paying for this single player with micros suck.

I’m with you on single player games having mtx is a joke but gamers have lost that war so you just have to live with it.

It's only because gamers put up with it. If they'd stop buying the games, publishers would stop pulling this shite.

In DD1 a certain TD gaming board poster made extensive use of my excellent pawn in his world and left me a rotten fish as a reward. Yeah I'm still sour about it, but I will still play DD2.

Where are the micro transactions? I legit haven’t seen them yet.

I haven't either. I had to go looking for them.

I think the most obvious ones are being able to buy Rift Crystals. But unless you're trying to hire OP pawns, you don't need Rift Crystals. There are infinite free pawns.

Fast travel abilities (maybe)? It seems like fast travel is supposed to be sparesely used, but if you don't want to hike around everywhere you can it seems pay money to ge more ferrystones.

Character editing-- it's either very expensive in game or you can buy a book with real life that makes it free.

I bought the Deluxe edition so started off with an absurd amount of rift crystals and a character editor book - so I guess I unwittingly prepaid the microtransactions - and they don't make fast travel a real option so i have committed to walking /ox carting everywhere. I truly don't understand the uproar.

I think the bigger problem is the inventory system sucks a good bit so it’s a pain to send things back and forth.

I don’t mind the walking so much. I always wanted to have a no fast travel Skyrim run but lacked the willpower.

The game is a blast for me. The combat is fun and I enjoy the world.

The story is a little weak so far. The game doesn't really push you toward the quest very much and you can end up wandering all over the map just killing things and having a fair amount of fun, so I've done very little main questing.

Side quests are also relatively uninteresting so far. They don't put a lot of energy into the narratives it seems.

People have said it starts to become a slog at about 30 hours in as fast travel is quite limited so you end up doing a lot of walking. I am just about to hit that time frame so TBD on my thoughts there.

How is this? Really interested in picking it up, but seeing mixed reviews. Some of the footage looks really good.

the pawn system is pretty fun and combat has been fun.

as other have said, fast travel is pretty limited, and story so far is pretty standard fare.

however its got a good exploration vibe to it. i don't mind walking around and looking into every nook and cranny. that's fun for me. the item management thing i can see being tedious for some but it also doesnt other me much.

I’d do Lords of the Fallen first if you like Souls.

The quest “ visit fulvio in battahl” is obviously meant for later in the game lol. I spent hours tracking to Battahl through caves then found out I’m way too early. I did get to buy a sweet greatsword that was like 5 times the damage

Exactly that. Combat is really fun. You can pretty freely switch classes back and forth, though buying advanced gear for all is prohibitively expensive.

Level up both overall stats and class rank which unlocks more abilities in that class.

You have a main sidekick (pawn) that levels up with you and then you swap out two others as you level up, and you're actually choosing from other players' main pawns.
