Dragon's Dogma 2 Mechanic Sows Chaos, Forcing Players to Band Together
-
Dragon's Dogma 2 has a "Dragonsplague" mechanic that causes infected pawns to explode, killing NPCs and potentially ruining quests.
-
It's unclear if this mechanic is meant to punish players, encourage New Game Plus, or just troll players.
-
The unpredictable consequences fit the game's themes of struggle and unintended consequences.
-
Players are banding together online to share information on identifying and preventing Dragonsplague.
-
As long as it never happens to us, watching it happen to someone else has a "cosmically beautiful" feeling.
