The Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 community is not happy with the spellcasting system, which is a simplified version of the first game\u2019s system. Some of the mechanics from the original were adjusted to streamline the sequel to offer a more straightforward experience. However, not every change is striking the right chord for the players who were hoping for a more robust selection of spells. On the Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 subreddit, a player is voicing their criticism when they say: \u201cDoes anyone miss the spell variety from DD1 yet?\u201d They explain how in the first installment, players had access to six to eight slots to equip different spells. Now, this has been reduced to four. Further, the spells that you can equip to those slots have less variety, while also lacking in the \u201cepic oomph\u201d from the original. This is not an isolated criticism either, as many Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 players share in their disappointment. \u201cLove the game but feels like some of the magick classes are half baked compared to Dark Arisen, can\u2019t help but feel like Mystical Spearhand is missing some offensive magick,\u201d one person writes. Another user goes so far to say that the devs \u201cbutchered\u201d the Mage and Sorcerer Vocations through their streamlining. Other players are expressing frustration that this issue isn\u2019t being addressed in the same way as Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2\u2019s microtransactions and performance issues. \u201cSadly this has blotted out some of the real criticism the game needs, like this. How can spell slots be cut in half and we have access to less spells than the first game in general?\u201d It\u2019s clear that there are plenty of players who are wishing Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 hadn\u2019t shaken its spell system up so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 players slam \u201chalf baked\u201d spell variety compared to original CapcomDragon\u2019s Dogma 2 fans feel disappointed with its variety of spells, which they say is lacking compared to what was available in the first game.
