Skills & Progression | |
Players choose a Vocation (class) which dictates their abilities and combat style (e.g., Fighter, Archer, Mage, Thief). Vocations can be leveled up and new skills (Weapon Skills, Core Skills, Augments) learned. Advanced and hybrid Vocations become available. Gear (weapons, armor) can be purchased, found, or enhanced by smiths using materials gathered from monsters and the environment. |
The game features light RPG mechanics. Players can level up and invest points into skills that suit their playstyle, whether it be stealth, combat, or survival. A key part of progression is scavenging for materials to craft and upgrade weapons and equipment at workbenches found throughout the world. Players must also manage resources like ammo and healing items carefully. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
Dragon's Dogma 2 features a large, seamless open world approximately four times the size of the original game's map. Key regions include the human kingdom of Vermund with its capital Vernworth, and the desert nation of Battahl with its capital Bakbattahl. The world is filled with diverse biomes, hidden caves, dungeons, and points of interest, encouraging exploration. |
Atomfall features a detailed open world representing the Cumbrian quarantine zone. The map includes idyllic countryside, quaint villages with pubs and red telephone boxes, and oppressive, brutalist concrete structures built by the government after the disaster. The world is designed to contrast the mundane with the surreal and horrific. |
