What are some plot points you could imagine being in the sequel depending on your actions from the first game, similar to Mass Effect? (lemmy.world)

My first thought comes to one of the first missions of the game with Maelstrom, between Royce and Brick.

I usually save Brick in that mission and I could picture him playing a role like Wrex from Mass Effect. One of the biggest leaders of Malestrom, their gang now bigger and nastier than ever, no one wants to fuck with them. Brick is in charge, and when V shows up, ready to draw guns again, Brick appears and he gives you that big tough guy respect like how Wrex did, saying this is the crazy motherfucker who saved my life and proceeded to blow up half of Night City afterwards.

There's so many small things I could picture being different in the sequel. I hope this will be the case since even The Witcher 3 had some pretty significant changes to the story depending on the options you chose about what happened in The Witcher 2.

Critics must rescore Dragon's Dogma 2 in light of microtransactions in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Do you even understand the point of microtransactions in these situations? When used for items in the game that you can just get by playing the game, did you even consider what involves getting these items? Like does it become tedious? Takes too long to find? Takes up I ventory space? You can only sometimes find them at a vendor?I mean CAPCOM could've made them easily accessible for you. Fast travel kits have no weight, buy them at any store. Customize your character? Sure just setup camp or go to a mirror to do it for free. But no, they created a system that is so subtle that it completely goes over your sheep brain and you either choose to ignore it or cope with the tediousness of getting these items and even if you don't buy the MTX the fact that there are some poor schmucks our there who will probably buy them because of the shitty system setup in DD2 is fucked up enough to be pissed about it, especially for a $70 game. CAPCOM didn't just do this to do this, actually think for a second. They obviously chose these items strategically to get those few people who say "eh I'll just buy this item real quick since it's only 0.50 and convenient". It should be convenient in the fucking $70 single player game itself!!
