Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 runs ended by game-ruining Dragonsplague mechanic CapcomDragon\u2019s Dogma 2 players are seeing entire cities functionally destroyed thanks to Dragonsplague. Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is exploding in popularity despite initial controversies around some questionable \u2013 if not inconsequential \u2013 microtransactions. It\u2019s already the most successful PC launch that Capcom has had. However, the Dragonsplague inflicting pawns may derail that as players come to grips with a mechanic that can wipe out large swathes of NPCs. Some Arisen are reporting that their pawns have wiped out entire cities and permanently cut off questlines. Dragonsplague sees pawns lose control of themselves and turn into a sickly-looking dragon upon resting at an in. Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 players are waking to find the populations of settlements decimated and it\u2019s being criticized as a \u201chorrible idea\u201d. One player had the early-game settlement of Melve re-destroyed by a dragon thanks to Dragonsplague. \u201cI had no inkling at all that they had caught it,\u201d they explained. \u201cNo voice lines, no comments of staying away from them, no glowing red eyes. My save is now just f**ked because of this mechanic.\u201d Another player reported that one of their afflicted Pawns had annihilated \u201c99% of Vernworth\u201d, the capital city of Vermund and one of Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2\u2019s major hubs. This included quest-givers and merchants. They called Dragonsplague \u201chands down the worst mechanic I\u2019ve ever had in a videogame\u201d. The illness can be passed to other Pawns in your party including your Main Pawn. While there aren\u2019t any indicators you can see when hiring pawns in the Rift, there are signs that reveal Dragonsplague once they\u2019re in your party. Another player posted a helpful video that showed these signs off so that players had some fair warning. It appears those with Dragonsplague will have their eyes flicker and change color as well as occasionally holding their head in pain. Mercifully, there is a way to cure Dragonsplague so if you have the time and you\u2019re feeling charitable, you can rid them of the ailment before sending them back to the Rift for unsuspecting Arisen. Simply have a monster kill the afflicted Pawn and do not revive them, and they\u2019ll be cured of the illness. Keep in mind that this may give them more time to infect your own Pawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
