Major Dragon’s Dogma 2 Update Adds ‘Casual Mode’

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has been one of the standout games of the year for me. The recent updates have only served to enhance my gaming experience, and the addition of a casual mode is a welcome change for those who prefer a more relaxed playstyle.

6 months post its release, Dragon’s Dogma 2 remains widely enjoyed, with developer Capcom consistently releasing updates – such as the latest one introducing a ‘relaxed mode’. The latest significant update for Dragon’s Dogma 2 aims to enhance performance, adjust character classes, and address hundreds of bugs, according to the patch details.

Check out the full breakdown below.

For The Casuals

In the newest Dragon’s Dogma 2 update, a leisurely gameplay option called “casual mode” has been added. This option can be toggled within the game’s settings. It is important to note that once you select casual mode, it cannot be switched back to ‘normal mode’, and certain achievements will become inaccessible – we are still figuring out which ones.

According to Capcom’s recent updates, here’s what you can expect from the new casual mode:

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

Additionally, the team made modifications and refinements to various professions, including amplifying the power of Fighters’ weapons by enhancing their strength, fine-tuning the cooldown periods for certain abilities in the case of Warriors, and amplifying the scaling damage of Archer attacks using a bow.

On PC, Capcom has ‘reduced the frequency of crashes’ and fixed some problems with CPU load.

Additionally, you’ll find enhanced animations, a revised display language option with Polish included, and numerous corrections and tweaks made across NPCs, enemies, quests, user interface, and other features.
