What can NPCs do in Dragon's Dogma 2

In the previous game, NPCs had their own stories to tell and can be found in specific Locations. Some of them served as Vendors for the Arisen - able to trade Equipment and Items for gold that the Arisen earns throughout their journey. Important NPCs, including Vendors, all had an invisible affinity meter with the Arisen, which the player can nourish and build for various benefits, including the capability to take an NPC from a small set of possible choices as their Beloved, who has a specific role in the story.

Other NPCs serve to help further immerse players in the world of the game, as well as important objective-givers for the game's many Quests. NPCs you can come to help out on the road can also start Quests of their own, may it be in the form of asking you to escort them somewhere, or through giving you information for new Quests. Regardless, players should keep their eyes and ears out for people as they explore the world

• Affinity and Beyond: This will more than likely just happen by doing sidequests with NPC's, but if you don't get it Wyrmslife Crystal is the best item to give as a gift as it increases the NPC's affection level by 1 automatically. Rest between each gift and it should only take 3. Can use Inn reload if you don't want to lose the crystals. 
• Plenty Arisen to go round: For this you must reach max affinity with 2 NPCs (their cheeks will turn red), then have them follow you back to your house and they will start fighting over you

Day and Night Cycle in Dragon's Dogma 2

The dynamism of the game results in the perpetual passage of time, regardless of what the player is doing. This results in events happening, like Enemy encounters, NPC movements, and environmental changes in real-time. This becomes increasingly important as the day turns to night, as the world of the game becomes exponentially more dangerous during nighttime. To avoid the dangers of traveling at night, or to easily access certain aspects of the game that are available during the day, players can decide to set up camp first at a Campsite. Some NPCs might only be available at certain times, which can also mean that some Quests or some objectives for Quests might only be available at certain times. Knowing when NPCs are available will also be vital should the romance system return, as well as should the player need certain Equipment or Items sold by specific Vendors.

The Arisen in Dragon's Dogma 2

"Whom the player controls. Their heart is taken by the dragon, setting them on a path where they must slay the Dragon."

Much like in the previous game Dragon's Dogma, players will play as the Arisen throughout the game. The Arisen has their heart taken by the Dragon and is immune to aging and sickness but not to death. As the Arisen, players must reunite and slay the dragon and reclaim their hearts.

The Pawns in Dragon's Dogma 2

"Mysterious, otherworldly beings devoted to serving the Arisen. With their character uniquely determined by the player and controlled by AI, they make gameplay feel like you're accompanied by others."

Pawns are also brought to Dragon's Dogma 2 from its previous game, but now, they have different and bigger roles. In the human nation of Vermund, Pawns are seen to be serving a false Arisen. While in the beastren nation of Battahl, pawns are treated as a source of misfortune.

Pawns can have "specializations" such as being able to understand elf language, while the Arisen does not understand it, having a pawn who does will automatically translate their speech for players to understand.

"Symbol of the world's destruction. Soars through the sky with its massive wings and breathes flames that scorch everything in its path.  Some are terrified by its descent, while others revere it as a god."

The Dragon makes a return from the previous game, while Vermund and Battahl have different views on Pawns and the Arisen, they share the same threat of the Dragon.

The Dragon makes another attack and the players get badly injured during this attack, as players will get nursed back to health by an NPC named Ulrika, a young leader of Melve.
