What you need to know

As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

They almost got me with preorder last night, but I was like nah I'll just wait and see in the morning. I love how i've been reading for weeks that "it's good they made fast travel hard", like preparing us for a fast travel MTX. Or it's the greatest character creator of all time, but to edit after you have to spend more money - the game is basically $100 canadian. Absurd.

Fuck, really? I mean, I'm not like a die-hard fan of the game(s) or anything, but the first one is still pretty enjoyable. And it's $5 on steam.

And it's a totally complete game, with an in-game barber/character customizer. You can't change your character's body type though, only the hair and skin colors/styles.

You can buy the MTX items InGame at the vendors. Still shitty to have the MTX but yea...

If you can do it with in-game earnable currency that's a bit different.

Tbh I haven't heard that that's the case, but I also haven't gone looking.

They already said you could, but at least in the first one it was an end game/post game item to edit your character. You can check the news tab for the game on steam.
