It’s been nigh-on impossible to escape the allure of Dragon’s Dogma 2 since it released earlier this month. Social media has been dominated by clips of players witnessing the action role-playing game’s (RPG) emergent gameplay in action, usually with hilarious results. Whether it’s ogres dropkicking people off cliffs or griffins swooping in to (rather rudely) destroy traveling oxcarts, folks have been equal parts bemused and astonished by Dragon’s Dogma 2’s ever-surprising open world.
One mechanic that has proven to be not-so-hilarious, however, is Dragonsplague. This rather devastating feature is something that Dragon’s Dogma 2 players are beginning to discover, and many aren’t enjoying what it’s doing to their save files. Many players have been left in utter disbelief at Dragonsplague, and it’s left some wondering how Capcom could’ve greenlit such a disruptive mechanic. And honestly, that’s kind of what makes it so incredible.
