Dragon’s Dogma 2features an extensive character creator that gives players a ton of agency over how their Arisen and Main Pawn look, act, and feel. It has plenty of sliders for people to tinker with, as well as some aspects that are a bit more confusing.
Players have been makingall sorts of characters inDragon’s Dogma 2. While the community’s creations are impressive, details that could possibly have an impact on gameplay have flown past the radars of many. Age and Moniker in particular have had many players scratching their heads, but luckily, these two don’t seem to have that much of an impact.
Does Character Age Do Anything In Dragon’s Dogma 2?
So far, it doesn’t seem like your character’s age affects any part of gameplay inDragon’s Dogma 2. You can set your Arisen to be as young as 18 and as old as 999 years. As it appears, the Arisen’s age is simply here for roleplaying purposes. If you want a character who actually looks old, you’ll need to make the necessary adjustments during character creation.
TheDragon’s Dogma 2character creatordoes not have any sliders for age. Instead, players will need to pick aged skin types and base heads. These are usually found on the final pages of their respective option windows. If you want to make changes to an already existing character, bring anArt of Metamorphosisitem to any barber shop, then select the Modify Appearance option, which essentially brings you back to the character creation screen. You can find these by talking to the vendor next to the giant Riftstone in Vernworth.
What Are Monikers?
Simply put, a Moniker is a nickname that you choosefor your Arisen and Main Pawn. These are the names that will appear on players' screens should the game detect improper custom names. It is essentially a profanity filter that keeps the game’s atmosphere healthy and immersive. With that said, Monikers have no real impact on gameplay, and players are free to choose whatever strikes them.
For those who are wondering, the game will display your character’s name whenever a player inspects your Main Pawn, and you may do the same to others if you find their pawns questing in the world or within a Riftstone. There’s also an option that lets you display or hide your Steam/PSN/Xbox username, giving you control over your profile’s privacy.
