The player will be able to select between various types of vocations, of which nine have been revealed:

Fighter, Warrior, Mystic Knight, Strider, Ranger, Assassin, Mage, Sorcerer and Magic Archer.

Gender choice and appearance settings will also be available.
While the player's party is exploring the world, the three party members who accompany the main character will be controlled by artificial intelligence, but the player can issue orders like "Go", "Help" and "Come to them". One of the party members is a non-playable character (NPC) and belongs to the main character's world. The other two party members are NPCs borrowed from other players by connecting online, but the game will not require an internet connection. However, the player can only borrow the NPCs from other players, not their main character.The party members will talk, seek the main character's help, and provide information about enemies.The player will need to work on strengthening the main character and the party members.

The game will feature a "grab" action, where the main character can grab on or cling to enemies, objects, or NPCs. The player can use this feature for more advanced attacks. For example, the main character can either grab on to a giant griffon's legs and attack it directly, or climb up to reach its head for a more lethal blow."In a lot of action games, with big enemies the tendency is just to have you hacking away at the shins. You don't get the full effect of fighting a giant boss," Hideaki Itsuno, the director of Dragon's Dogma, said. "With this game you can climb all over it. If it has a body part, you can attack it." The ability to climb enemies has drawn comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus.
In addition to the large open world, Dragon's Dogma will also feature a large city environment with over 200 NPCs who will move about according to their own time schedules. The player will be able to communicate with the residents in full voice.

Seems to have free roam like oblivion, customizable party combat (unfortunately just Ai not human co-op :() and climbing up monsters to kill em etc heh :D

Not due till end of may but **** ** it looks so good will probably be a day 1 purchase for me. (v rare for me haha)
 
how the pawn system works (ie your party members)

you can pimp your dudes out for others (other players online) and when they come back to you they have lots of new goodies and experience :D

hope the AI in this is good coz it seems to depend on it a lot! (party system)






I also like how they have done daytime and nighttime in this game. Being out in the wilderness at night far away from the town is actually dangerous now.

love the wolfshead helmet :D


It seems this is rpg-lite and you can change your class very easily it seems.

Developers worked on resi evil 4 before this and call me crazy but a couple of sounds i thought instantly of res evil 4 (the ching! coins sound) i dunno maybe it was the inventory layout or something.
 
bit more about the porn system...whoops sorry i mean pawn system where you can pimp your pawn out for hire...





Also more info on the CLASS and JOB/VOCATION system




CRAFTING




excited yet? :D

http://dragonsdogma.tumblr.com/



DLC which you get if you preorder the game is as follows

Pawn Upgrade Pack - Begin your Dragon’s Dogma adventure with an additional 2,000 Rift Crystals! This early ‘cash advance’ will allow you to enlist higher level PAWNs early on in addition to having an expanded set of items available for purchase at Aestella's shop in Cassardis!

Weapons Upgrade Pack - Start off your adventure in Dragon's Dogma with a weapon upgrade!
This weapons pack will stock your item storage with dependable weapons for Fighter, Strider and Mage. With an Iron Sword, a Criteria, and a Wooden Staff, each upgraded, your adventuring will be a piece of Cassardian Fishcake.

Armor Upgrade Pack – Commence your adventure in Dragon's Dogma with an armor upgrade early in the game. This armor pack will stock your item storage with sturdy armors for Fighter, Strider and Mage. A Farewell Hood, Farewell Gloves, and a Farewell Cloak will help you no matter your new vocation, making your adventures sweet and easy as Meloirean pie.



Watched some more combat gameplay (japanese 5 min gameplay thing on youtube) and its not as tight as i would hope.


Also of all the vids we just see combat boss fights and customization of pawns...ok thats great but i really hope this game has more to it...

Is anybody preordering this? Where are you preordering from if you dont mind me asking? I'm not sure if every place you preorder from has the preorder DLC included e.g. amazon doesnt list the upgrade pack as part of their listing.



another video showing ways you can throw and grab stuff looks pretty cool to me :)




lol putting yourself on FIRE then jumping on big beastie to set THEM on fire haha! class!

1080p Xbox 360 video very recent build (April)



not sure if range attacks have a lock on going by the video.
 
now on a very slow download...


checked it at 240pm not there. fell asleep. woke up at 6pm and its there...with any luck i'll have it by midnight.











p.s. 35 mb 1% of 1715mb :(
 
cheapest place ive seen so far for preorder (which includes the 3 dlc packs) is zavvi £34.95

they known for getting stuff to you by the release date?
 
Well my opinions on the demo -

i liked the pawn/player customization - though you do get quite a few options its not on a level with Skyrim.

The graphics are quite good although a little low res very noticeable pop-up though (hope thats fixed for final release). Combat SHOULD be good, liked the animations and the combat moves BUT it seems a bit aimless. The camera does not help you....didnt seem to be a lock on (which is crazy) Anyway a lot of the time the camera obscured my view.

Pawn chat i fear will just be a gimmick and most people will switch it off after a while unless you can tone it down a bit instead of switching it off completely.

Havent actually preordered it yet though i still probably will.......maybes...
