What’s Changing In the Dragon’s Dogma 2 April Update?
The April Update seems to be targeting the behavior patterns and dialogue ofDragon’s Dogma 2’s Pawns, as Capcom revealed a ton of tweaks. This includes updating spoken dialogue to better match the current circumstances, reducing how often some lines are spoken, lowering the chances of Pawn’s falling off cliffs, and improving their AI behavior to help the player if they’re being held by the enemy. In addition, Capcom is tweaking the Dragonsplague so that it is less infectious and making those afflicted with it more noticeable through stronger looking glowing eyes. Outside of that, Capcom is planning on a number of quality of life improvements as well, such as removing treasure chest icons from the minimap that have already been opened.
Response to the planned updates seemed largely to be mixed, with most in the comments upset that the long list of performance issues are still not being addressed. While it was knownprior to launch thatDragon’s Dogma 2had performance issues, many fans continue to feel frustrated by the lack of any real news or resolutions to these problems. Some have even taken an extreme route by murdering NPCs in the game to reduce the characters on screen and thereby improving performance slightly. Either way, it appears players will need to wait a bit longer until these issues are resolved.
