#Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen

"Abandon all delusions of control."

I wonder if the 2nd game is going to put me in an existential crisis like the 1st one.

I knew we'd not be long apart, Arisen!

In honor of Rook's return in Dragon's Dogma 2, I comm'd the wonderful @verkomy for a piece of my Arisen, Dyraen and Rook as they appear in Dragon's Dogma 1 and 2. :) I was so happy to see Rook again and verkomy did a beautiful job with my blorbos!!

Sorry it ended up a lot darker than my monitor made it out to be but Dragon's Dogma "The Dragon" WIP! I don't usually share my WIPs, I am really shy about how sloppy my process looks, but I thought he looked pretty nice so far ;v;

Disappointed that DD2 has no canonical male romance options? HELP FIX IT!

In Dragon's Dogma 2 you can choose almost any NPC to be your beloved/romance option, like in the first game. You can literally pick anyone, including random road guards, to shower gifts upon and raise their affinity.

However. Only two NPCs are canonical romances.

Ulrika and Wilhelmina, both human women, have unique romance quests and scenes that conclude intimately (without any platonic option). Those are the only NPCs in the entire game that have them.

No hate on the girls, they're among my arisen's best buds, but having them be the only two with fully fledged romance arcs in the entire game is a bit absurd.

Pre-release marketing highlighted Ulra, Wil, as well as Guard-Captain Brant, Prince Sven (who tbf seems pretty young), elven siblings Glyndwr and Doirieann, and Empress Nadinia of Battahl and her Guard-captain Menella (who I assumed were a couple). Any of those characters should also have had unique scenes like Wil and Ulra, but they don't. That effectively makes Ulra/Wil the canonical options.

None of the npcs care about the arisen's gender. The main issue is that there are no male options with equivalent romance quest. There's nothing but crumbs for the guy enjoyers, which is somehow a step back from the first game where there was at least Julian.

There are three dudes who would have been strong candidates according to their plot importance:

Brant is the arisen's first and most important ally in Vernworth,

Sven could have been DD2's Aelinore (young noble in need of help) and could've caused loads of plot drama,

and Glyndwr is your introduction to the elf culture through his curiosity.

Do they get unique quests beyond their initial ones? Nope.

Anyway, we can potentially influence some getting added officially instead of as mods:

Capcom has released a player feedback survey.

The survey has questions on what you like, dislike, and would like to see in future content updates. It runs until April 21 and may well influence the future additions to the game.

I laid it on thick about them adding more quests and romance quests, and also about a Bitterblack Isle-type expansion.The more people that bring it up these issues the better.

Go forth, arisen <3

Poll: Character Creation

I go absolutely feral when a game has character creation (Fallout, Mass Effect, Monster Hunter, and so on). In fact, nowadays there's very few games I play that have non customizable protagonists.

I usually make characters from my vast catalogue of OCs but I'm curious about what kinds of characters other people make.
