While making progress in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already quite the challenge, the game’s save system can be just as confusing. While most of the save system seems pretty straightforward, there are certain aspects of the system found in CAPCOM’s new RPG title that have left people scratching their heads and asking for answers. Don’t expect to be save-scumming or starting a new adventure in this game as you will need to play within very strict boundaries with how this game decides to save your data.

So far, this is pretty easy to understand and is similar to other games, but this is where the Save System becomes a bit cumbersome.

This means you can only make a single character at a time unless you make a completely new account on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or wherever you are playing the game (or if you do some tinkering with the Cloud Save on Steam). Right now, there isn’t even a clear way to delete your current character and start a new one, though CAPCOM has already put out a post saying that
