How does the original hold up? I’ve heard good things about this game and have always been a little curious to try it.
Its a fun game mechanically, and it’s definitely worth at least one play through to experience the physical combat with climbing and hacking off specific monster parts and the magic system with true screenwide spells that take forever to cast but also destroy anything.
Though I personally would recommend looking up how damage scaling works to spare yourself some frustration and apply the usual mods for carrying capacity and unlimited out of combat sprinting.
Dragons Dogma has steadily been building a cult following, and pretty much the thing I miss most about reddit is the dragons dogma community. People play it to this day, actively making and sharing pawns with others.
The game still has pretty much the best action RPG combat system of all time - the guy who usually directs devil may cry directed it. It is a must play if you happen to like both classic fantasy rpgs as well as modern platinum and capcom action games.
If you are on the fence, I would definitely recommend waiting for a sale, where you pick the game up for 5 dollars usually. I have hundreds of hours maxing out my character in almost every class, and I still have to get around to beating the dark arisen dlc content - in just having too much fun with the rest of the game.

Very well with some questionable game design decisions such as weird fast travel and undercooked cities. But the mechanics are fantastic and it still looks very pretty.
