After a decade of uncertainty, Dragon's Dogma finally has a sequel confirmed to be in development. A Japan-only MMO and a Netflix anime series were both created in the interim since Dragon's Dogma released, but they were no substitute for a true Dragon's Dogma 2.

Pawns were included as both a simulation of a human adventuring party and as a vehicle for some of the game's online components. It was a memorable and unique system, but Dragon's Dogma 2 could do Pawns a lot better.

Having a playable Main Pawn would be great, and would incentivize players to invest more time and care into their development. To
