I treat each visit to a riftstone as a health assessment. By this point in my Dragon's Dogma 2 journey, I've peered into the eyes of numerous Beastren and human Pawns, most of them misted over with love for their would-be Master. But I'm not looking for allegiance right now: I'm looking for glowing red irises, a bad attitude, and perhaps a little twitchiness.
My intentions might seem obvious to anyone who knows how to spot Dragonsplague in Dragon's Dogma 2, but what if I told you that I am actively seeking infected Pawns rather than screening them out? It might sound bizarre, but attempting to destroy my game with a bit of mass murder is the only thing that's keeping me entertained now that I'm somehow nearing the last story missions. My inspiration? The desire to replicate the gnarliest consequences of playing Baldur's Gate 3's Dark Urge as a bloodthirsty maniac.
