Game news What an abomination! Dragon’s Dogma 2 character creation allows for the best… and the worst
Ahead of the launch of Capcom’s new fantasy role-playing game, Dragon’s Dogma 2, the Japanese publisher took the lead by publishing a demonstration, but not just any demonstration. Thanks to this, players were able to take the time to create their main character in order to transfer him for the release. If there are some astonishing achievements, there are others which are… very disturbing.
Crazy video game releases in March, including Dragon’s Dogma 2
In March, the pace of releases does not slow down one iota. In a few days, there will even be an avalanche of launches with Rise of the Roninthe PC version of Horizon: Forbidden West, Princess Peach: Showtime! or Dragon’s Dogma 2, a new potential hit from the publisher Capcom which, recently and due to its very good financial results, decided to increase the salaries of its employees. Let’s admit that at a time when video games are accumulating layoffs, this is encouraging news for those who represent the future of this medium. Finally, let’s come back to Dragon’s Dogma IIwhich we recently told you about in our preview.
Almost twelve years after the release of the first part, subsequently refined and marketed in a new version, called Dark Arisen, Dragon’s Dogma is about to take flight again. During all these years, the license has managed to grow its aura and develop a certain form of popularity which could be conducive to the launch of this second part. Despite everything, the best way to praise the qualities of a title is to offer a concrete overview through a demonstration. And that’s good, Capcom had a surprise on this subject at the end of last week.

A wild NPC appears! Dragon’s Dogma 2’s character creator works wonders, for better and for worse
At the time, the demonstration made available slightly had the effect of an emotional elevator since it did not offer to walk through a few segments of the final game, like what Square Enix had done for the launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but to create your character in order to save time on the big day. Named “ Character Creator & Storage », this one was finally able to convince the players and bluff them, especially because of the numerous customization options for the main avatar and the chief pawn (one of the characters who make up our group and who can be recruited from among those created by the community).
On social networks, opinions are unanimous on this functionality of Dragon’s Dogma 2. It works wonders and allows you to recreate iconic characters with quite impressive fidelity. However, there is a flip side to this coin of personalization because if it is capable of the best thanks to the players, they can bring to life the worst, even our greatest nightmares. On Reddit, this is what happened when a player shared a disturbing creation, namely a humanoid version of Pikachu, the famous electric mouse from Pokémon. When we see the result, we are not sure that the players will set their sights on such a pawn to help them complete their quests… But hey, you never know!
