Dragonsplague has been a hot topic among players since Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 first released, causing infected Pawns to become a dragon and destroy entire towns, wiping out all NPC\u2019s with it. Arguments have been made that it\u2019s a poorly designed mechanic that can derail a person\u2019s playthrough. However, a new mod has been released that looks to alleviate the situation by adding a counter for someone to see so they know if their Pawn is infected, and also how far along the infection has come. The mod is aptly titled Dragonsplague Counter and can be downloaded from Nexus Mods for free. The aim of the mod is simple, explaining: \u201cAdds a counter indicating the Dragonsplague level on any infected pawns in your party. If the pawn is possessed, it\u2019ll be hard to miss. The max value is 10 and the pawn\u2019s eyes begin to glow at 7.\u201d They also mention that it will only appear when the Pawn is infected and only on the Pawns in the player\u2019s party. A screenshot of the mod shows a Pawn with a red \u201c6\u201d over their forehead, showing how the mod will look in-game. With how upset many Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 fans have been with Dragonsplague, this mod is sure to help with their frustration. It\u2019s the best situation for them as the devs are showing no signs of changing the mechanic anytime soon. Plus, it seems to be minimally intrusive to the immersion of the game. The only downside, of course, is that the mod is only available to PC players, meaning anyone who is playing on PlayStation 5 or an Xbox console will have to manage Dragonsplague the old-fashioned way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 mod \u2018fixes\u2019 controversial Dragonsplague mechanic CapcomA new mod has been released for Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 that helps players know when, and how badly, their Pawns are infected with Dragonsplague, an issue the community has been debating since launch.
