The own vassal
A vassal can be created even. He improved in the course of the game, just like the players, and is more powerful. In addition, the vassals of other players can be selected and hired through the Rift. Even the own vassal can therefore be taken by other players with their travel: it improves, is remunerated and given a rating. The number of attendants is limited to three, must be so chosen specifically.
The character creation and development
When the game starts the player is only the choice between male and female character whose body shape and appearance but still can be adjusted, as well as one of three classes. Later in the game can still be chosen a specialization. The vassal can be made also after own Gusto and visually adapted.
Realistic processes, short charging times
In many situations, realistic procedures and requirements are taken up and implemented in the game. With many objects can be interacted: boxes, barrels and the like are taken and thrown into their own hands, empty bottles filled with water or oil and a lantern to be lit at night, which must of course every now and then filled with oil. The load times in the game are low, when entering shops, there is even no!
The combat system
A centerpiece in RPGs of course the combat system, as no opponent wants to discuss his problems and is interested in a diplomatic solution. In the different countryside and at different times of the day, a variety of enemies and abominations are encountered. Some are extremely dangerous, others are done in passing. In the struggle can be grasped as a special feature of the opponent and climbed, so that a targeted attack at sensitive points can be made. The vassals fight autonomously 'and very neat. However, the graphics in the battle very hectic and errors is marked. Quick Overview of the lost, objects are in the way and the enemy has disappeared. Targeted support of vassals by for example magic is thus extremely complicated.
Graphics and Sound
The sound is converted solid and creates an appealing atmosphere. Unfortunately, only an English language edition is available. These German subtitles are displayed, the language in the tangle of three vassals quickly are however very confusing. Much worse, however, the graphic is implemented. Objects suddenly appear or disappear, blurred and flickering landscapes and partly poorly animated and monotonous figures are not uncommon in the game.
Conclusion
The story is not very original, the system of character education and the inventory have room for improvement, the fights are messy and the graphic part of the question. Nevertheless, Dragon's Dogma has the charm of a typical role-playing game and the vassals as companions also innovations in luggage. In positive terms can be Dragon's Dogma as 'oldschool RPG' with hectic and action-packed battles describe in critical consideration, the terms 'outdated', attached chaotic and confusing.
