      >spawns will be static
      They changed after the king randomly aged 100 years & accused you of being a traitor because he somehow knew it was your fault for some unexplained reason because the dragon was like "lol now that I'm dead new enemy spawns will happen & the king will shit himself & this upsets you for some unexplained reason."

      The best thing about Dragon's Dogma is it feels like a journey and you're not skipping through empty areas on your magic unicorn like Elden Ring. If you think ER did it better you're not white.

        >The best thing about Dragon's Dogma is it feels like a journey and you're not skipping through empty areas
        Dragon's Dogma is nothing but empty areas
        The core gameplay is placing portcrystals to skip the empty areas, which is why the community asked for more of them.
        It's sad really but unlike Elden Ring, where you get unprecedent freedom to proceed through your journey however you are want, in Dragon's Dogma the open world is just pointless walking to whatever of the three quests you are allowed to carry out at any time. You can't even enter/complete dungeons if you haven't received some quest that is also reliant first on proceeding through the main quest, which makes the open world pointless.

      If you watch the demo footage, no matter the player, they're all encountering the same enemy at the exact same location that all the other players encountered them. This isn't 100% proof that the enemy spawns are static like in the first game, but its certainly worrying and points in that direction.

      Hopefully, it's just because it's a demo and the enemy spawns where locked from a save state so they could strictly control which enemies the players would be encountering to avoid spoiler of new enemy types. Hopefully the final game has a TES style world spawn system that spawns creatures/enemies randomly from a list and then their AI takes over and they're allowed to roam/interact on their own.

      in DDDA, the spawns only change when you passed certain "stages": cyclops appear near gran soren when you beat the wieneratrice and drakes, wyrms and hellhounds are all around the map when you beat grigori. how can you be so sure that DD2 will only have 1 set of enemies till the end?

        You've misunderstood his point, it's not just about the type of enemy. In DD1, outside of the state changes like when you kill grigori, the enemy spawns are completely static - i.e the enemies will be at the exact same point in the road each time you pass, just like a souls game. It's not just about the *type* of enemy.

        People were hoping DD2 would have a dynamic, sandboxy world spawn system like in TES games so you never know for sure what to expect on your adventure. But in the demo footage as explained in this post

        , the spawns were static just like in DD1. We don't know for sure if it's just like this for the demo, or if it will also be like this in the released game. So it's a bit worrying, but not 100% "confirmed" like the post you replied to claims.

    >world
    epic bait
    the shitty world was one of my biggest problems with DD
    it's insane how they made a handful of cool enemies with unique weaknesses adn strengths, made a fairly nice combat system with grabbing and climbing, but then absolutely dropped the ball on everything else, from enemy variety, through the world design to the itemization.

    How is this in any way improving the player experience, forcing you to play classes you don't want to play (in this playthrough) in order to get the best out of that class you DO want to play? Tip: it's not improving the experience, it's a garbage arbitrary design decision that breaks immersion.

    Hopefully DD2 doesn't have augments locked behind classes anymore so we don't have to deal with such tedium again. Any class should be able to unlock any augment.

      I agree, I think they locked augments behind vocations to force you to experiment and switch often, which is OK the first few playthrougs, but when you know what you're going for it is a bit tedious to get all the "core" augments.

        Itsuno has said he wants dd2 to be an "adventure simulator" so if he still has augments locked behind classes then I don't think he understands what people want from an adventure feeling.

        Imagine if the LOTR fellowship started randomly swapping their "classes", it would just be weird. An archer shouldn't have to switch to a sword&board fighter and then a two-handed warrior in order to get the best out of his bow. It's just completely immersion breaking and creates a start-stop-start-stop anti-adventure feeling.

        So yeah I really hope augments aren't locked behind classes, but I'm fully expecting them to still be.

        Nothing wrong with DD but it's mediocre. Middle of the pack. Not offensively bad but not memorably good
        Don't take it so personally; just don't make contrarianism your only personality trait

    No, Dragon's Dogma only has like 3 areas, they're not much fun to traverse on foot, and your only reward to exploring is rolled loot chests that don't matter. Elden Ring has a lot of issues but DD's open world is still just another open world.

    What I want from DD2 is just 20 more dungeons.

    Didn't read anything posted here but just want to say I got Elden Ring for xmas and it's great. The one flaw is that I feel not following the story path set by the lights isn't that rewarding and perhaps they should re-think how to use the open world more effectively.

    I love DD nowadays and I have mixed feelings about ER the same way I did with DD at first, except in the opposite way.
    DD had amazing combat, great customization and a sense of adventure with a good middle ground for a fast travel system, but the RPG part that they got from Oblivion falls flat, as the world is too small, not enough dungeons, ok level design and the quests arenot that good, however the little stories and how your choices affect them are really nice, so I'm hoping this will all be improved in the sequel, because we just need more and better extra content, given the combat system is a 10, and I like the writing a lot.
    Now with Elden Ring, the combat is really boring but everything else is amazing, the level design, the enemy variety, the quests actually work well and I never needed a guide, it's all very magical, however I can't say I give a frick about the writing much, and I don't mind that ER's world is dead and mostly a big place to explore, not interact, it's great for what it is.
