Dragonsplague机制因平衡性争议多次调整，此次更新据制作人问答将更贴近原设计意图。
I know full well that pally RPG
Dragon’s Dogma 2
has its
Dark Arisen expansion
out this year. Still, two years and one megalo-DLC announcement after release, what I still find most fascinating about it is the
Dragonsplague
: an insidious affliction that quietly infects your mates (or Pawns, whatever) and heightens their fighting prowess, but if left untreated, can induce a bescaled hissy fit that will kill the entire population of your favourite NPC village. Overtuned, ill-communicated bullshit, or laudably bold application of arrogance-punishing friction? These days I lean the latter, but still, what an interesting mechanic that I can think about it on and off since 2024.
Capcom, meanwhile, always seemed to play the hedging game,
patching in various tweaks and tunings
to Dragonsplague in an attempt to placate both camps. The game’s
Title Update 3.2
, due in late August (ahead of Dark Arisen on October 9th), appears to come down further on the 'Angry fire virus can be fun, actually' side - though
according to a Q&A
with producer Naoto Oyama and expansion director Kento Kinoshita, these upcoming changes will bring Dragonsplague more in line with Capcom’s original vision for it.
