I know a lot are playing on PC. But how is the PS5 version (tech and frame issues mainly)? I just got some birthday money and this game seems pretty intriguing as an immersive and emergent experience.
Yeah, I calibrated my monitor and then was surprised/disappointed to see crushed blacks.
4 hours in on a new pc I bought a year ago. The framerate in town noticeably gets more stuttery. I had one crash from changing skills at camp somehow. The controls are more slippery than the first game. I cleared this waterfall cave then ran out to the kick the ladder and ran right off the cliff. I would love to take dash off of B/Circle. Money seems harder to come by. I'm still using starting weapons at level 13.
It's alright. I'm a give me 60fps or give me death kind of guy, but the framerate is… acceptable. And I find solace in the fact that everyone on PS5 is suffering along with me. Performance patch would be welcome however.
My impression was that the timer starts once you accept it, and not a situation where a quest will start its timer and expire before you've ever come across it.
Ahh okay, ty! I was like "oh god did I miss something??"
Thanks a lot for this! It's not a huge difference, but it's something.
You can put custom waypoints on the map, but the options are just roman numerals I-VIII or something. And I didn't see an option to remove them individually, just a Remove All option :(
I have been a strictly performance mode guy on the PS5 so it's taking some getting used to but it's not terrible. Also hoping we get some sort of performance mode for this but not holding my breath on that one.
I am not sure about Archer in this. The enemies seem to be glued to you during combat and you're fucked up close as you've got no close combat abilities.
This ring is easily missed in the first encampment and expensive but so worth it
Which camp is it in?
Stuck at work for about 3 or so more hours.
Was up wayyyyy too late playing. This game is a fucking sinkhole lol.

I noticed it too on mine, would be surprised if it's settings, RE Engine often had this problem, but RE4 improved greatly on it.
welp, my DD2 preorder (and Rise of Ronin, but that one I'm not fussed about) wasn't delivered today on release day, the first time that's happened with this retailer. And since tomorrow is the weekend and they dont do deliveries on weekends here, im fucked until monday.
NGL, kinda bummed out.

It seems like you can just remove a waypoint by trying to place it again
I love the Pawn system in this game! I really enjoy hearing stories from people in mutual Discord servers about what she has been doing in their games. Please hire her so I can hear more stories!
Some examples:
There's also a video clip of her which I can't upload here yet but it goes like this:
Main Pawn run ahead of someone's Arisen and says "I've got a good feeling about this one!"
Then she immediately gets jumped by a wolf.

I am an Archer and may dip into Fighter to grab the augment that boosts carrying weight.
Yeah, the archer is no strider when it comes to flexibility in combat, but they do get some neat abilities as you progress in the vocation that gives you more options. I'd stick with it if you can and round out your party with melee/tank characters to keep enemies away. But of course you are free to switch out to other ones.
There are some side quests that will be on a time limit, like find this character in a set amount of in-game days before they're lost forever kind f thing, but generally speaking you are free to go about the game at your pace.

Yeah, I'm glad I went Fighter first purely for that augment.
Oh, I made a screenshot thread last night.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Screenshot Thread- Masterworks all, you can't go wrong!
Post all your beautiful and not so beautiful screenshots here! This is still in the starting area, My Arisen is the Archer and Pomu, my Main Pawn is the Thief. A Discord buddy's Mage is here too, along with ScienceGeniusGirl 's Dr. Eggman.

Literally the first one ten minutes into the game, the vendor is wearing a backpack near the riftstone.
Didn't see that! Threadmarked and posted my screens in there too :DOh, I made a screenshot thread last night.

How far until I can upgrade my equipment? I have a ton of materials weighing me down lol. I only got as far as Melve before logging out last night.
Sadly, there's only 1 save file and you have to delete it in order to start a new game. I think if you're on Steam you have to disable cloud saves otherwise the old save comes back.
The next major city in the region has vendors that upgrade your equipment.
I just made it to Vernworth and can upgrade my weapons and armor there now. I didn't see the option at prior towns like Melve but I may have missed it.
Awesome! The first outpost (where you get your Main Pawn) had a Blacksmith NPC but interacting with them didn't do anything.
You can store all your crafting materials in storage and still upgrade using them when you get to the vendor (first big city I think).
Eh, I like FO4 and Skyrim on survival mode without it. I don't particularly like it in Red Dead Redemption 2 either, and it's less common there, even if technically available. I don't think most open world games do a good job building a reason not to fast travel, which is the difference. If you're fetch-questing around, playing tag between NPCs who need messages delivered to them, then yes, you need fast travel, but even then I think a lot of open world games don't need to be open world games, if that's what most of the quests in them play like.
Oh, I eventually did that. Can you keep everything in storage and the vendors can still upgrade your gear? Or do you need to have those materials on you?
So far so meh. Im underwhelemd honestly, nothing looks that amazing so far (5 hours in) combat is a bit chaotic with full set of pawns + 3 npcs travelling with me on top of that.
So far extremely easy content as its only the start of the game, story hasnt really opened up too much.
Its OK, hopefully it gets better.

I came across a mini dungeon early in the game that lead to other two exits, but they're blocked from either side. Think it's bugged? :(
You can store all your mats with the innkeeper at melve and retrieve them at the capital if you need to shed some weight
