Dragon’s Dogma Preview

Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma has once again been given the preview treatment, and this time the article comes to us courtesy of Capsule Computers. A snip on RPG elements and travel:

For people out there that wanted to know about quests and dialog in the game, you can rest assured that you can talk to any of the NPC in the game. There’s quite a lot of RPG elements that will keep you busy for hours, also a nice little piece of news that I was very happy with was that all NPC (Non Player Characters) in the game all talk and will have their own voice overs. Also lots of npc’s (those with green colors next to their names) will be able to give out quests and side quests that result in making your character stronger but reward you with money, weapons and special items. As with other RPG games, you can undertake multiple quests at the same time and complete them in any order you like.

Where ever you go in the game you can use specific items called markers these markers will allow you to move and travel between locations quickly and easily. It’s like using a warp or portal to get one one spot to another. In the presentation Capcom stressed that using these markers is highly recommended as walking from one section of world to another can take quite a long time (over 15-30 mins if you decided to leg it) so taking the markers is a wise choice. You can can activate markers by using a ferry stone.
