Dragon’s Dogma 2 is revolutionizing the way we approach fast travel in open-world RPGs. Unlike most games in the genre, where players can easily zip between locations, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has introduced a new approach that emphasizes the value of exploration.

In this massive open world, fast travel is not readily available. Players will have to earn the privilege of discovering a few fixed fast travel points, leaving the vast majority of the world only reachable by foot. While there are portable fast travel devices, they are limited in number, and players will need to use precious one-use stones to travel to them, which are often hidden in chests and dungeons or awarded for completing specific quests.

Additionally, there are alternative ways to traverse the world, such as ox carts that connect settlements in a public transit system, but they come with their own challenges, including the risk of ambushes. Visiting Battahl’s ropeway stations allows for easier navigation in the arid beastren land, but players or their pawns must operate the winch and remain vulnerable to attacks.

These limitations and challenges associated with fast travel in Dragon’s Dogma 2 add depth and excitement to the gameplay, making every journey a carefully considered decision. By restricting fast travel, the game encourages players to fully immerse themselves in the world, adding a sense of liveliness and adventure to the overall experience.
