Dragon's Dogma 2 Player Plays Catch With Their Pawns And A Pig

Dragon's Dogma 2 allows for some truly bizarre gameplay moments, as demonstrated by a video of a player tossing a live pig back-and-forth with their Pawns. Though it initially had a negative reception on launch day, and the technical issues persist in major cities such as Vernworth, Dragon's Dogma 2 has catapulted itself to the top of the Steam chart with a high number of concurrent players seemingly enjoying the game despite its shortcomings. It is Capcom's biggest launch to date on the platform, which bodes well for Dragon Dogma's future as an RPG franchise.

Though the developers of Dragon's Dogma 2 issued a statement on Steam to address the game's technical problems, and promised that a save game feature for multiple characters is on the way, its rating scores have been steadily rising across all three platforms. This implies that, despite some issues, there is plenty of fun to be found in Dragon's Dogma 2 and its moment-to-moment gameplay. Its complex character creator, unique vocations, immersive areas, and an addictive exploration loop have all contributed to the game's rising popularity, but it could be argued that its earnest charm is its biggest strength.

Dragon's Dogma 2 embraces moments of levity when it comes to emergent gameplay, such as teaching the Main Pawn to jump down a cliff by landing face-first onto their stomach.

The latter is rather hilariously showcased by Prizzaa on Twitter, who shared video footage of their Arisen playing a game of catch with her Pawns using a live pig (and even a rabbit) instead of a ball.

While tossing live creatures can be a fun pastime in Dragon's Dogma 2, throwing plays a major role in the game's combat. Players are certainly encouraged to rely on the vocation skill set, but sometimes unconventional tactics can turn the tide of an unfavorable battle.
