Capcom released the incredibly intricate character creator for Dragon’s Dogma 2 early and, naturally, players are already creating some wonderful and horrific things.
Players can download the character creator now before jumping straight into the action on March 22 when Dragon’s Dogma 2 launches proper. It allows the creation of the player character and the first of many pawns, which are the devoted followers of the player and the main mechanic of Dragon’s Dogma 2.
The character creator in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already being praised as one of the best ever. “This character creator truly feels next gen,” wrote TheShiniestHobo on Reddit. “The best I’ve seen in any game,” added EMT-Fields.
For as many wonderful and dramatic characters being prepared for the role-playing fantasy epic, there is, of course, just as many absolute monsters. You can see a slideshow of beasties from both camps above.
Dragon’s Dogma 2’s character creator is pretty insane. Pretty much every inch of the body can be customized. All the way down to your elbow angle lol.
Decent selection of options for natural hair as well. No more Killmonger cut. pic.twitter.com/rPtkWpU8FV

Beyond just random nightmare fuel, players have used the character creator to recreate favourite characters from other franchises, like they did with Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3. Speaking of, Wakiratoshi made Shadowheart from Larian’s Dungeones & Dragons smash hit.
Other video game-inspired characters include Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher by SirSeaborn and Malenia, Blade of Miquella from Elden Ring by jamesterfire. Elsewhere in entertainment comes The Lord of the Rings’ Gandalf by TheGuyEveryoneIgnore, Vinland Saga’s Thors by Cutie_Flirty_n_Nerdy, and a House of the Dragon Targaryen knight by Robert-starkert.

Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam, Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes place in a parallel universe which “mirrors the world setting of the original game”. Players can explore the human kingdom of Vermund and the beastren kingdom of Battahl and ultimately take on a big evil dragon.
The myriard non-player characters of Dragon’s Dogma 2 also appear endlessly complex, as beyond some pawns being completely customisable as mentioned above, NPCs can form different bonds with the player character and may even fight each other for the player’s love.
