I still can't get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is fantastic and the secret ending is mind-blowing.

Oh no! Secret ending?! Now I’m really hooked.

Is this something that can be missed during a regular play through? I’d hate to spoil it searching. If you don’t mind, can you let me know if I’m safe to search “dragons dogma 2 secret ending” or is it something that happens if I complete all quests or something similar if that’s not a safe search?

Thanks friend! I put a few more hours in last night and had my first hired pawn show up again 20 levels stronger. Added them to the party again and it has been really cool how the character evolved and comments on being back with the crew. Little touches like that keep me hooked.

Nope, can't accidentally lock yourself out of getting it. No worries there.

But you do have to put some thought into it because it is up to you to do what is needed to trigger it as opposed to getting the regular ending. All I will say is pay close attention to details during the late game

And man that's the best feeling is seeing a pawn you hired before come through the rift again. The game is chock full of those little touches, like having people fight over you at your house after getting a few NPCs affinity maxed out.

I also heard the game is getting or has gotten a substantial update recently, so about time I give it another go around.

Thanks for the info! I’m sure I got a ways to go until late game so I can hopefully still get see it.

Sounds like I need to read up on affinity as well. I just got the house in Vernworth (after a rather messy arrest that took half my gold) awesome to hear that there’s other dynamics and systems around that.

They really have built something that feels as well engineered as a souls game without the punishing difficulty. I’m trying to ascertain weak spots on the various big monsters now. As a Monster Hunter fan, it’s cool seeing that type of mechanic in another Capcom game!

And yeah, they released a trailer at Summer Game Fest for a Dark Arisen expansion coming in October of this year. Looks pretty neat. I might be able to purchase a copy of this by then and jump in to that.

Bro affinity is major. Drastically lowers the vendor prices, they can have rare items added to the shop, and people leave you gifts at your house. Even a few quests can have different outcomes depending on the involved NPC affinities. Some quests are even locked behind having certain NPC at high affinity for the later game.

And oh hell yea! You have no idea how hyped I am to hear it's the Dark Arisen expansion.
