• Tameable Beasts (Land Predators & Mammals): Takkar can tame a wide variety of land animals after learning the skill from Tensay. Each beast has unique stats (strength, speed, stealth) and abilities: Wolves howl to reveal nearby enemies/resources; Jaguars are stealthy killers; Bears are powerful tanks that draw aggro; Badgers are resilient and can revive themselves; Sabretooths are fast mounts and fierce fighters. Players can direct their tamed beast to attack targets, stay, or follow. Beasts can be revived if downed, but if killed (after a revive window), they must be re-tamed (or a new one found). Legendary versions of some beasts offer enhanced abilities.
  Various (Wolf, Jaguar, Leopard, Sabretooth Tiger, Brown Bear, Cave Bear, Badger, Dhole, etc.)
• Rideable Beasts: Certain tamed beasts can be ridden by Takkar for faster traversal of Oros.

• Clubs (One-Handed & Two-Handed): Melee (Blunt)
  Basic to powerful melee weapons crafted from wood and stone. One-handed clubs are faster, while two-handed clubs deal more damage and can stun. Can be upgraded for increased damage and durability, and set on fire for extra damage over time and utility (burning foliage, scaring animals).
• Spears: Melee/Throwable (Piercing)
  Crafted from wood and sharpened stone/bone. Versatile for both melee combat (good reach) and as a powerful thrown projectile, especially effective against large beasts or armored foes. Can be upgraded for damage and durability.
• Bows (Standard Bow & Long Bow): Ranged (Piercing)
  Primitive bows crafted for ranged combat and hunting. The Long Bow offers better range and damage. Arrows can be standard, fire (igniting targets and environment), or (with upgrades) double arrows for increased damage. Essential for stealth.
• Slings: Ranged (Blunt/Distraction)
  Allows Takkar to throw stones with precision. Primarily used for distracting enemies, breaking weak objects, or headshots against unarmored foes. Less damaging than bows but useful for utility.
• Shards (Stone Shards, Berserk Shards): Throwable (Piercing/Effect)
  Sharpened pieces of stone used as throwing daggers for quick, silent kills on unarmored targets. Berserk Shards are coated with a substance that causes enemies to attack anyone nearby, including their allies, creating chaos.
• Bombs (Sting Bomb, Berserk Bomb, Fire Bomb): Throwable (Area of Effect/Utility)
  Crafted throwable explosives. Sting Bombs (Bee Bombs) release a swarm of angry bees that stun and damage enemies. Berserk Bombs have a wider area of effect for turning enemies against each other. Fire Bombs create a lasting area of fire, useful for area denial and igniting flammable objects or enemies.
• Traps: Utility/Area Denial
  Craftable traps that can be placed on the ground to ensnare or damage enemies and animals that step on them. Useful for defending locations or setting ambushes.

• Crafted Clothing & Gear Upgrades (Wenja Village): Takkar does not wear traditional 'armor.' Instead, progression involves crafting and upgrading clothing pieces (like winter clothes for cold resistance) and enhancing personal carrying capacity for weapons, ammo (shards, bombs), tools, and resources. These upgrades are primarily done by providing skins, wood, and stone to specialists in the Wenja village. While some crafted clothing might offer minor elemental resistance (e.g., cold), the main 'defense' comes from health upgrades via skills and food buffs.
• Skill-Based Resilience: Defensive capabilities are primarily improved through Takkar's skill tree, unlocking increased health, faster health regeneration, and resistance to certain types of damage (e.g., fire, melee).
• Food Buffs: Consuming specific crafted food recipes can provide temporary buffs to health, stamina, resistances, or other attributes, acting as a form of temporary 'armor' or enhancement.

• Vermundian Knight Armor: Various sets of plate, chain, and scale armor fitting a traditional knightly aesthetic, with different stats and appearances. Dyes may be available for some pieces.
• Battahli Beastren Garb: Culturally distinct clothing and armor of the beastren people, often incorporating desert-themed elements, furs, and unique metalwork.
• Elven Attire (Sacred Arbor): Elegant and nature-inspired clothing and light armor from the elven settlement, often with unique enchantments or properties.
• Commoner's Tunic and Trousers: Basic clothing worn by civilians, offering minimal protection but can be used for disguise or when emphasizing a non-combat role.

• Primitive Attire: Takkar's clothing is made from animal hides, furs, bones, and plant fibers, reflecting the Stone Age setting. As players upgrade specialists' huts in the Wenja village, they can craft improved versions of clothing, such as winter clothes that provide resistance to cold in the northern regions of Oros. While there isn't extensive cosmetic customization, the appearance of Takkar's gear evolves slightly with these upgrades. Some special outfits were available through the Apex Edition (e.g., paint based on animal spirits).

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.

Takkar's progression involves earning skill points by gaining XP (from missions, hunting, exploration, capturing objectives). Skills are divided into categories like Survival, Hunting, Gathering, Fighting, Crafting, and Beast Master abilities. Key skills include taming different tiers of beasts, improving combat prowess with various primitive weapons, crafting more effective tools and consumables (health, buffs), and enhancing stealth capabilities. The Wenja village also serves as a progression hub; recruiting specialists (Sayla the Gatherer, Tensay the Shaman, Wogah the Crafter, Karoosh the Warrior, Jayma the Hunter, Dah the Udam, Roshani the Izila) and upgrading their huts unlocks new skills, crafting recipes, gear upgrades, and village population bonuses.

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.

Oros is a large and diverse open world featuring distinct biomes. These include temperate forests, marshy swamps, icy northern glaciers and caves, and volcanic southern regions. Each area presents unique environmental challenges, resources, and wildlife. The verticality of the terrain, with cliffs, caves, and high plateaus, encourages exploration. There are no traditional 'regions' to liberate in the same way as other Far Cry games, but rather areas dominated by Udam or Izila presence, with outposts and bonfires to capture.

• Ropeway / Gondola: Automated Transport (Traversal)
  Cable-suspended platforms used to cross large chasms or reach different elevations in specific areas, particularly in Battahl.

• Rideable Tamed Beasts: Living Mount / Prehistoric 'Vehicle'
  Far Cry Primal does not feature traditional mechanical vehicles. Instead, Takkar can ride certain tamed beasts for faster traversal and combat advantages. These include: Juvenile Mammoths (slow but powerful, can scatter enemies), Sabretooth Tigers (very fast and agile, good for quick travel and attacking from), and Brown Bears (balanced speed and combat utility, can be ridden after a skill unlock). Riding allows Takkar to use his own ranged weapons from the beast's back.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a dedicated single-player experience. It does not feature direct co-op or competitive multiplayer. The core 'multiplayer' aspect is the asynchronous Pawn system, where players can recruit Pawns created by other players to join their party.

**Standard Edition:** Base game. **Deluxe Edition:** Base game + 'A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack' (Explorer's Camping Kit, Dragon's Dogma Music & Sound Collection, Harpysnare Smoke Beacons, Heartfelt Pendant, Ambivalent Rift Incense, Makeshift Gaol Key, Art of Metamorphosis, Wakestone, 1500 Rift Crystals).

Far Cry Primal was released in a Standard Edition and a Digital Apex Edition. The Apex Edition included: 'Legend of the Mammoth' missions (play as a mammoth), a new weapon (Blood Shasti Club), and four enhancement packs (Sabretooth Pack, Owl Pack, Mammoth Pack, Bomb Pack) offering early access to resources, skins, or minor perks. A Collector's Edition was also available with physical items like a steelbook, map, soundtrack, and Wenja phrasebook.

At launch, various small DLC items are available for purchase (cosmetics, convenience items like Portcrystals, Wakestones). Major story expansions or significant new content additions have not yet been announced, but Capcom has a history of supporting its major titles post-launch.

The main post-launch content was the 'Wenja Pack,' which was part of the Digital Apex Edition and also sold separately. This included the 'Legend of the Mammoth' missions, the Blood Shasti Club, and the four enhancement packs. A Survivor Mode was added post-launch as a free update, offering a more challenging experience with permadeath options and increased difficulty. Other minor DLCs were typically cosmetic or resource packs.

• Q: Is Dragon's Dogma 2 a direct sequel to the first game?
  A: While set in a parallel world with similar themes and mechanics, Dragon's Dogma 2 features a new story, new Arisen, and a new world map. It is not a direct continuation of the original game's plot but rather a reimagining and expansion of its core concepts.
• Q: Does Dragon's Dogma 2 have multiplayer co-op?
  A: No, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a single-player game. The party system revolves around the Arisen and their Pawns. The asynchronous Pawn system allows you to hire Pawns created by other players, which is its form of online interaction.
• Q: How does the Pawn system work?
  A: Players create their Main Pawn, a loyal companion. They can also hire up to two Support Pawns created by other players. Pawns learn from their experiences, offer advice, and can be shared online for others to use, bringing back knowledge and gifts.
• Q: Is there fast travel in Dragon's Dogma 2?
  A: Yes, but it's limited. Players can use consumable Ferrystones to travel to activated Portcrystals (permanent fast travel points you can place) and major cities. Ox Carts also offer travel between set destinations but can be ambushed.
• Q: How many Vocations are there in Dragon's Dogma 2?
  A: There are 10 playable Vocations: Fighter, Archer, Mage, Thief (Basic), Warrior, Sorcerer (Advanced), Mystic Spearhand, Magick Archer, Trickster, and Warfarer (Hybrid/Arisen-Exclusive).

• Q: Is Far Cry Primal connected to other Far Cry games?
  A: No, Far Cry Primal is a standalone title set in 10,000 BCE and does not share any narrative connections with other Far Cry games. It's a unique spin-off focusing on a prehistoric setting.
• Q: Are there any guns or modern technology in Far Cry Primal?
  A: No, true to its Stone Age setting, Far Cry Primal features exclusively primitive weapons like clubs, spears, bows, and crafted bombs. There are no firearms or advanced technology.
• Q: How does the Beast Master system work?
  A: Players, as Takkar, can learn to tame various prehistoric animals. This involves approaching an animal, often after distracting it with bait, and performing a taming ritual. Once tamed, the animal becomes a loyal companion that can be commanded to attack enemies, scout, or provide other unique benefits depending on its species. Players can have one active animal companion at a time and can switch between their tamed beasts.
• Q: Is there a spoken language in Far Cry Primal?
  A: Yes, Ubisoft developed three fictional languages for the Wenja, Udam, and Izila tribes, based on Proto-Indo-European linguistic roots to enhance immersion. All dialogue is in these languages with English (or other chosen language) subtitles.
• Q: Can you build or upgrade a base in Far Cry Primal?
  A: Yes, Takkar establishes and upgrades a Wenja village. By recruiting key specialists (like a shaman, crafter, hunter, warrior) and providing them with resources, players can upgrade their huts. Each hut upgrade unlocks new skills for Takkar, new crafting recipes for weapons and gear, population growth for the village (which provides daily resource caches), and other benefits.

Built on Capcom's RE Engine, Dragon's Dogma 2 features detailed character models, lush environments, and impressive monster designs. The game supports ray tracing for global illumination and reflections on PC. Its physics system plays a significant role in combat and interaction.

Powered by the Dunia Engine 2, Far Cry Primal presents a lush and visually striking depiction of the Mesolithic era. Oros is characterized by dense forests, misty swamps, icy northern wastes, and volcanic landscapes, all teeming with detailed prehistoric flora and fauna. Animal models are particularly well-crafted, showcasing realistic movement and behavior. The game features dynamic weather, a day-night cycle, and impressive lighting that enhances the primeval atmosphere.

The original score by Jason Graves heavily features primitive instrumentation, tribal drums, bone flutes, and guttural vocals, creating a unique and atmospheric soundscape fitting the Stone Age. The game features three fully developed fictional languages for the Wenja, Udam, and Izila tribes, created by linguists based on Proto-Indo-European roots. Sound design is crucial for gameplay, with distinct animal calls indicating presence and threat levels, and environmental sounds providing clues for hunting and survival.

The UI is designed to be immersive and relatively minimalistic to fit the prehistoric setting. Health is represented by a segmented bar. Weapon selection is via a radial menu. Important information is often conveyed through environmental cues, animal behavior, and Takkar's own senses (Hunter Vision). A simplified compass and objective markers guide the player. The game features a fully developed fictional Wenja language (with subtitles) spoken by characters, enhancing immersion.

Includes options for subtitle customization, control remapping, audio adjustments (e.g., individual volume sliders), and some visual aids. More extensive accessibility features common in other modern AAA titles may be added or refined post-launch based on feedback.

Standard Ubisoft accessibility options are present, including customizable controls (key remapping, sensitivity), aim assist (though less relevant for melee-focused combat), adjustable difficulty levels, and extensive subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names). Hunter Vision helps highlight important objects, enemies, and tracks.
