PR TIMES

Pawn Behavior

Pawns are the backbone of "Dragon's Dogma," a single-player game. The adventure with AI-controlled pawns is as immersive as a multiplayer game. In "Dragon's Dogma 2," pawn behavior seems to have evolved even further. For example, a " specialty " system has been added to each pawn's personality.

Some quests cannot be completed without an NPC or pawn who understands the language. If you have a pawn with the "Forest Language Interpreter" specialty with you, you will be able to communicate with the elves.

You can also hand over your luggage.

"Luggage clearance" will make your adventures more comfortable

Items in Dragon's Dogma have a set "weight," and if you carry a large amount of luggage, your movement will be restricted. In the previous game, you had to stop and pass the items to a pawn with room to spare, but in "Dragon's Dogma 2," it seems that pawns will automatically distribute excess baggage. This was revealed in a video inserted during the explanation of specialties, so is there a specialty called "baggage clearance"?
