SOMEHOW DRAGON'S DOGMA 2 FEELS JUST AS UNFINISHED AS DRAGON'S DOGMA 1

THE GOOD

gameplay, combat, graphics and animations are all great ( replayability 120% )

some side stuff has dark stories and i love this

vocation stats min-maxing is gone ( from DD1 )

you can buy your own house

warfare ( Arisen in japanese ver ) is a great vocation once you max your fav vocations

the dragonsplague is a great system and i love it, they could add more to it tho, like we fighting it after the apocalypse

THE BAD

story and quests are boring, indie games are better at this by far, i dare to say DD1 story is far better than DD2 story, and the quests too

vocations ( classes ) and skills are so limited, and you can only equip 4 skills

lets be real, the game is super easy to the point we all should agree that it's POWER FANTASY, why the limits then ? 4 skill slots is totally because the lack of skill

mob variety is not terrible but still bad, for 80% of the map it drops the same 3 type of enemies to you

bosses are great but availability of some are like only 1, at a specific place, they could mix bosses with mobs more

endgame is time-limited, and in NG+ you're forced to redo all the boring main quests to reach endgame again

there's no hard difficulty or enemy scaling for NG+ and NG+ adds NOTHING NEW

level cap is 999 but the real level cap is 200 (stats wise) there's no gain after that

The Sacred Arbor and Battahl don't have Portcrystal ( capcom really ? )

the amount of arrows you can buy from shop is 10 per each type, such a huge city should have hundreds CAPCOM

NO TRANSMOG is a joke, i like the look of normal looking gear more than endgame gear

class restriction on armors are so funny, you like a specific outfit BUT IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE FOR TRICKSTER OR MYSTIC SPEAR LIKE WHY ?

the romance system is as bad as DD1 from 12 years ago

pawns with full helm in riftstone stops you from checking their EYES for dragonsplague

mods are great and has shown great potential, still can't add more weapons/armors/skill-spells/monsters just reskins
( i also want mods to add more weapons in RE games, not reskins '-' )

for people fearing ban, you won't get ban ( which is a softban of your pawn not showing up for others ) unless you change your MainPawn stats or modified their equipment via mods, AND undoing your modification on MainPawn makes it available online for everyone again

VERDICT

i do not recommend this game in this state, it's too barebone

either capcom should fix this or mods will

i'll add more the more i remember play

if i'm mistaken in things i wrote, please leave a comment

update -

it's a great game if you install +30 QOL mods
still feels lackluster in terms of armor/weapon and skills/skill slot
and the story is 80% fetch quest and boring

needs a huge expansion to be something you can call GOTY
and a way to skip story for NG+, non of my friends are willing to play all that crap fetch quests again

update 2-

around 6 months before release DD's official twitter showed concepts of monk ( unarmed vocation ) and sage ( a mage/sorcerer like vocation yet different ) and said these are concepts that did not make it to the DD1 game

then there was an interview itsuno saying people can guess the vocations if they pay attention to the information we're sharing.

this could only mean we get monk and sage but boy we were so much in copium i guess

update 3-

you don't believe this, THERE'S A SPELL MAKER MOD
allows you to create your own spells in Dragon's Dogma 2
