Dragon’s Dogma 2 players distraught as Dragonsplague plays havoc with their playthroughs

A Pawn-only illness known as Dragonsplague is sweeping through Dragon’s Dogma 2 and destroying perfect playthroughs and the DD2 community has already felt its destructive effects less than a week into the game’s lifetime. If left untreated, Pawns won’t follow commands, will go rogue, and threaten to spoil your session.

In Dragon’s Dogma 2, your Pawns are your allies—they’ll fight for you, die for you, and help you uncover valuable treasures and resources. However, if Dragonsplague infects them, this mechanic can, as players have warned on the game’s subreddit this week, utterly break your playthrough. “You immediately go to sleep so you can do your quests during the day. You wake up and every NPC is fucking dead,” the post’s author said, demanding the feature be removed or reworked immediately.
