Dragon’s Dogma 2 update adds casual mode and more

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent slaying dragons and battling monsters in various RPGs, I must say that the recent update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 has truly caught my attention. The introduction of a casual mode is a welcome addition for those who want to enjoy the game’s narrative without being bogged down by the intricacies of its challenging mechanics.

Capcom has recently released an update for Dragon’s Dogma 2, which includes numerous additions, including a “relaxed play mode”.

For gamers on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, or Steam, there’s a fresh option called ‘Casual Mode’. If you opt for this setting, it will implement the following adjustments:

  • Reduced inn fees for staying at an inn
  • Reduced price of Ferrystones
  • More difficult for weight carried to become “Heavy” or “Very Heavy”
  • Less Stamina expended when dashing outside of battle
  • Loss gauge will not increase when selecting “Load from Last Save” after the Arisen dies
  • Pawns will recover from dragonsplague without a “devastating calamity” occurring, even if the symptoms progress to a terminal stage


 

If you prefer a more serious gaming experience instead of the casual mode in Dragon’s Dogma 2, this update still offers several enhancements to gameplay for your enjoyment:

  • Adding a Portcrystal to Bakbattahl
  • Adding “Sovran’s Crown,” “Sovran’s Plate,” and “Sovran’s Greaves” to the list of items that can be traded with the Dragonforged
  • Adding variations to Pawns’ idle animations
  • Adding animations for when Pawns and the Arisen start dashing
  • Adding animation for when the Arisen is riding on a larger enemy that is flying at high speeds
  • Making it so that the Main Pawn can be revived an infinite number of times at Forgotten Riftstones
  • Adding Polski (Polish) under Display Language in the Language section of the Options menu
  • Further fixes to issues around CPU overload in certain situations
  • Reducing frequency of crashes

Additionally, there have been adjustments to professions. For instance, the Fighter now boasts enhanced strength across all weapons, while the Warrior enjoys an extended period for “Chain of Blows” attacks. Similarly, the Archer’s damage output has been boosted, and the Mage has received numerous enhancements as well.

In addition to the new careers, there are numerous adjustments and repairs that have been made. You can find the complete rundown in the official blog post about the latest update.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC via Steam.
