I can&apos;t imagine a world in which this decision would&apos;ve gone down well with anybody\u2014but here we are.<\/p>\n<p>If you&apos;re opposed to the idea of microtransactions in fully-priced games in general, I don&apos;t want to tell you that you&apos;re wrong for abstaining. However, if you <em>were <\/em>looking forward to Dragon&apos;s Dogma 2, I want to reassure you that you can find almost all of these items just\u2026 lying around, or in shops.<\/p>\n<p>One particular bugbear at the moment is the poorly-named &#8220;Art of Metamorphosis &#8211; Character Editor&#8221;\u2014namely, there&apos;s a perception from players that the game&apos;s one-save-only policy is to help drive up the sales of this thing. While you can have your own opinions about save files, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/dragons-dogma-2-change-appearance-cosmetics\/\">the Art of Metamorphosis book<\/a> itself costs about 500 rift crystals, or RC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That&apos;s a little expensive early-on, but you&apos;ll be flush with RC eventually. Hilariously, just buying 500 rift crystals straight-up is cheaper\u2014which highlights the actual problem I have with these microtransactions. By and large, they&apos;re just paid convenience skips for a game where <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/dragons-dogma-2-change-appearance-cosmetics\/\">inconvenience is the point<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The only two microtransactions I have a problem with is the Explorer&apos;s Camping Kit (which appears to be lightweight, and notes that purchasing the DLC makes it available in-game) and the Portcrystal, which our guides&apos; writer Sean Martin has only found a handful of in around 50 hours. You still need Ferrystones to use Portcrystals, however\u2014and you can&apos;t buy those with your wallet.<\/p>\n<p>But even then, both of these options just kneecap what makes Dragon&apos;s Dogma 2 a fun and unique game\u2014which does lead me to my conclusion that these microtransactions are, frankly, just a very stupid decision likely created at a publisher level rather than a developer one.<\/p>\n<p>Part of what makes this whole debacle frustrating is that this is all context you&apos;d only get by playing the game\u2014or by reading this article. But it&apos;s confusion that was completely unnecessary for a game that (performance problems aside) is doing a lot of things right.<\/p>\n<p>If the microtransactions here have put you off Dragon&apos;s Dogma 2, that&apos;s completely fair enough. But it&apos;s important to note that none of these purchases are necessary, and that the game is not designed around you having them. It&apos;s just baffling business choices and bad optics from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/the-dragons-dogma-2-microtransactions-are-real-and-bafflingly-silly-since-nearly-all-of-them-can-be-found-in-the-game-without-too-much-trouble\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to say up-front that I am, by no means, defending the choice to slap a bunch of microtransactions onto Dragon&apos;s Dogma 2.
