Character Height & Weight In Dragon's Dogma 2 - Everything You Need To Know

so the latest Dragons Dogma 2 devotes is up and this time hiiki is talking about the height and weight options for Dragon's Dogma 2 and how those tie into character creation and also how the game plays so the quote here is we greatly increased the options in our Character Creator and wanted to make it simple to create an appealing character we scanned in nearly 80 faces for base head variations and like with the first game height and weight effect how they play now that's a pretty unique feature to a game is to think about the fact that the weight and the height of your character directly affects things like encumbrance how much you can carry your regen rates and so on and so forth if you go over to the Dragon's Dogma Wiki they actually and this is obviously for the first game but you can get an idea of what this looks like um by taking a look at the formulas that were used in the first game um but essentially uh the amount of weight a character has not only determines the appearance of a character but also affects its stats weight of a character also has a significant effect on its encumbrance and stamina usage and regenerates lighter characters restore faster enable him do to be more energetic while larger characters have a larger carrying capacity so it can move so could carry more at the same encumbrance level and by extension move relatively faster than heavy armor but they are overall slower per se because they're larger character weight is affected by a number of factors such as character height character build and muscular ature so when you're creating your character for the first time in Dragon's Dogma 2 you have to pay attention to the size the weight the musculature of your character because that is going to impact how your character plays how much your character could carry how well your character moves in combat how fast you regen so they've got a a um a table here and it says character weight weight class base stamina stamina restoration stamina consumption maximum encumberance so if you were in Dragon Dogma 1 as an example if you were under 50 weight your encumberance would be 40 um but you have a 125% stamina restoration buff rate with a base of 500 really cool then go all the way to the large and you see that you only have a 75% stamina restoration rate um but you can carry up to 100 instead of only 40 so it's a pretty big difference so that's something to bear in mind when you're looking at what they've got here let's go ahead and expand on this and just take a better look at this uh we've got height torso length muscle style muscle strength traps size upper body muscle mass lower body muscle mass upper body size lower body size um and then of course you'll be able to create a whole bunch of other options in here um so you definitely need to think about what you're going to be playing uh because I know if you're going to be playing like a massively um you it's kind of interesting because in a lot of other games you would choose a character like a a character model right but then you would have stats and those stats would dictate um what you are this is more akin to like looking at say the NBA 2K franchise uh which I love because in that game there are things like you know your your arm length um which dictates how well you are at like blocking and things and and stealing the ball and then there's things like your actual height determining how well you're going to be able to dunk the ball like yes you have stats but you also have body features that factor into your character's overall abilities so this is what I come back to you know there maybe little things that I didn't really care for too much in Dragon's Dogma 1 but overall what got me really interested in the second game was the Deep mechanics of the first game and this is just sort of like an in you know this is like the tip of the iceberg in terms of the the type of mechanics that have gone into the Dragon's Dogma world because you have things like body size and and musculature effect ing your character's performance in the field so it's way more than just stats stats are important you've got your vocation there's stats there but this like trap size like you know how how well can you swing your arm if you're super muscular it's like the guys who can't scratch their back you know they can't they can't they can't reach the middle of their shoulder blades because they're so muscular they're like that's what we're talking about here so cool stuff um I don't know and I haven't looked at that deep into the character creator that they gave us for offline mode I don't know how much of this is impacting directly the stats that your character has um in terms of can you see that when you're building your character or is that something where you're only going to see it after the fact because they're tied to vocations I don't know anything about that yet um but from what I've seen so far it's all shaping up to be pretty richly detailed and I can't wait to dive in we're almost there um Friday morning we're going to be starting bright and early so hopefully you're ready for that I got an alarm
