The sequel introduces a challenging illness affecting pawns, adding depth and consequences to the player's journey in a rich medieval fantasy world.

Dragon's Dogma 2 introduces 'Dragonsplague,' a unique mechanic where pawns can disobey and potentially destroy towns, reflecting the game's emphasis on consequences.
Players can manage Dragonsplague through various methods, including dismissing infected pawns or passing the illness to another pawn, showcasing the game's intricate pawn system.
The sequel to Dragon's Dogma, available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X / S, continues to explore the duality of the Dragon and the Arisen in a medieval fantasy setting.
Critics praise the game for its emergent narrative and the depth added by the pawn system, where players' companions can learn, strategize, and even go on adventures when the player is offline.
Despite some player backlash against Dragonsplague, it is seen as enhancing the game's realism and replayability by emphasizing the world's fragility and the consequences of player actions.
