All the ways Dragon’s Dogma 2 has ruined other RPGs for me

It seems that around every corner there’s yet another thing Dragon’s Dogma 2 does that makes my RPG-addicted self incredibly happy. From how you interact with your companions to forgeries, these are just some of the eight things in Dragon’s Dogma 2 has that have utterly ruined other RPGs for me.

I’m a huge fan of RPGs but it took playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 for me to realise how much hand holding the majority of AAA RPGs include, and just how empowering it is to be set free from seemingly endless tutorials and NPCs who give me the solution to puzzles within 0.2 seconds of me discovering the puzzle in the first place (God of War Ragnarok, looking at you).

As I’ve been utterly addicted to the game and have already played it for an unholy amount of time, there are so many things that I’m going to miss when I inevitably play a different RPG. So from unique enemy behaviour to high-fives, these are all the things Dragon’s Dogma 2 does that other RPGs don’t.
