DRAGON'S DOGMA: DARK ARISEN (∞)

[reliquiaen]

so dragon’s dogma once again took over my brain and i replayed it. also decided it’d be fun to make a lil chart of how the game world works. made a few assumptions (like where great dragons come from if an arisen kills their dragon but doesn’t fight the seneschal and the fact that i’m assuming the cycle can’t be broken by using the godsbane on yourself at the end of the game regardless of what is presented to you). i’m also assuming the dragonforged fought, lost his weapon, and fled which is why there’s an option for fighting the dragon but not killing it.

love this game a lot. can’t wait for the sequel

BEHOLD! MY WATER FAERIE!

Freyiirtelph! It's pronouns are any non-genders ones (they/them, it/its, etc)

[intofree]

the true ending is definitely more impactful if you’re familiar with the first game which I appreciate so much

just finished dragon's dogma dark arisen....wow....what is it about these games where their endings always manage to screw with my mind despite the main story not being anywhere near as polished as other games that i've played 😦😦😦😦❤️❤️❤️❤️

i have many a thoughts about this beautifully flawed game but i will have to do a junk thoughts post later. i....actually never watched the TRUE true ending in dragon's dogma 2 (aka the one where your pawn actually likes you lol) because ugh i'm not ready to say goodbye to these games yet 😭 the pawn system is unlike anything else i've ever played in a game and it's just so damn good!!

i've heard so many good things about brittleback isle in DA but i won't play it any time soon. i just got the ending where your pawn LIVES ON as you (holy shit like selene???) which means i'd have to do a new game plus and get up to a decent level since i've heard lv 80 is where you at least need to be for that dungeon to be uhhh bearable. i DEFINITELY want to do a ng+ run of ddda though, and i'm even thinking of getting the platinum trophy for it, but i think i'm going to rest from dragon's dogma games for a while. it's no joke but these games literally suck up my life like no other games have been able to do since i think horizon zero dawn--they're dangerous and too addicting for me to pick up and play lol. so i think i'm just gonna boot up dd2 this weekend, watch the true true ending, cry like a baby about it, and then move on to another game :(

so yeah, will have to settle my thoughts about DDDA in another post once i've had some time to think about them and how i think it compared to DD2, but definitely i'm so glad i picked it up and decided to play it. huge fan of this series now for sure. <3

"I must confess, ever since I set out on this pilgrimage, I feel... Somewhat adrift."

Letting the quiet sounds of the Hostelry wash over her, Lihtbryda makes a noise of understanding, taking a mouthful of her drink and watching Gosetsu over the rim of her cup.

"It's only natural. You've spent your whole life taking care of Lord Hien, and now you're freed from that duty. It must feel like a mountain has been lifted from you," the mercenary replies, looking out over the railing of the balcony to the street below.

"Ha! Very true. A great mountain, more weight than I ever thought I could bear. But... a weight I miss. Is my Lord doing well? Is he keeping pleasant company? Is he getting enough rest?"

Staring into his cup, the Doman falls quiet for a few seconds before shaking his head. "Bah! Here I am with a woman such as yourself and I can only speak of my past. Tell me, is the talisman I gave you any help in controlling your heat?"

Touching the slip of paper around her neck - already smouldering at the edges, but suppressing her temperature to bearable levels - Lihtbryda is about to answer when a shimmer of Aether at Tenkonto catches her eye, and she grins, nudging her companion.

"It looks like you're going to be able to see what kind of company he's keeping."

Sure enough, materialised into Kugane is Lord Hien himself, arm in arm with a pale-haired Hyur.

"The Kami bring serendipity indeed," Gosetsu muses, "but I would not wish to intrude on his time with his lady friend. Besides, I believe you promised a trip to the springs?"

Getting to her feet and throwing a handful of coin on the table, Liht smirks. "Indeed. Come on, we'll find somewhere quiet."

WAIT I MIGHT BE JUMPING THE SHARK BUT WHEN THEY SAID "IF HE'S A MERE MUMMER THEN WHERE MIGHT OUR TRUE ARISEN BE" DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE PLAYING AS THE ORIGINAL BESTOWED PAWN???

Lihtbryda began once they all had their mugs in hand. "We'll sing all night and drink all day..." Trailing off, she looks meaningfully at Gosetsu, a grin on her face.

Guffawing, he shakes his head, pausing for a moment to remember the song he heard sung around campfires by armsmen from far away. After a few moments, he grins, taking up the next line.

"...And on the girls we'll spend our pay!"

Without missing a beat, Akimune picks up the song from his father, a grin on his face.

"And when it's gone, then we'll away,"

All three voices raised in unison, they raise their mugs in a salute, bellowing together,

"To dance with Jak o' the shadows!"

The trio each take a pull of their ale, laughing, before launching into the next verse in harmony, their song echoing from the stony cliff walls for hours to come.

(Akimune belongs to @blorbos-of-the-7th-dawn! They and I are starting a Gosetsu Appreciation Fanclub because we both have taste.)
