Dragon's Dogma 2 Mod Lets Players Silence Incessant Pawn Chatter
Dragons Dogma 2 players rejoice, for a new PC mod has arisen that will allow you to temper the incessant chattering of your pawn companions and prevent them from constantly pointing out the presence of treasure chests, ladders, and so on.
The world of Dragons Dogma 2 is inhabited by a race of endlessly useful non player characters known as pawns, who live to serve and protect the player character. Along the way they’ll fight, find items, provide guidance with ques, and, generally, talk a lot.
While this is welcome at first, some Arisen have been left irritated by the relentless bombardment of dialogue unleashed by pawns even dozens of hours into the game. To solve this, PC players can now install a mod which allows pawns' conversations to be altered or removed entirely.
NexusMods user emoose released the aptly named SHUTUPPAWNS mod is currently available to download though players will first have to download the REFrameworks mod.
SHUTUPPAWNS comes with a number of presets that allows you to block out pawn dialogue relating to specific objects, such as ladders and chests, and the UI also provides players with a list of the last ten lines of pawn dialogue, which can then be individually added to a blocklist, allowing for a more nuanced approach.
The mod also allows the player to enable an option that blocks the celebratory high five animations that often occur after battles.
In our 8/10 review we said Dragon’s Dogma 2 was “a strange and wonderful action-RPG that bolsters the original’s strengths without addressing its weaknesses".
