This game is the opposite of handholding. Most of the time I have no idea where to go. Your quest list doesn't include the main quest and quests disappear for no apparent reason. I really like the combat and setting, but I'm not sure I can keep running around in circles.

Dragon's Dogma: At first I was really loving this game: a good amount of challenge in the combat, interesting characters, open world, adventuring.. but now that I'm into the meat of the game it's starting to get really boring. The world isn't really "open," and there aren't really any little dungeons or caves or explore outside of the quests. The quests themselves are starting to be really repetitive: just hundreds of fetch quests and escort quests. The story of the game is quite awful honestly, so that doesn't keep me going. The only cool thing is the combat itself, which is fun, and the huge boss creatures that your party fights. And the pawn system is brilliant and innovative.
Not sure how I feel about this game overall. It has some brilliant aspects but it's also just a bad game. I'm torn. I'm pretty close to abandoning it.

This game is really cool and it presents some really original ideas. For the entire game you're accompanied by a few companions called 'Pawns.'

This game is really cool and it presents some really original ideas. For the entire game you're accompanied by a few companions called 'Pawns.' Upon hearing this I immediately thought of all the games with AI co-op partners and how it's always a horrible disaster of bad AI and babysitting/escorting them around the trying to make sure they don't get killed. But in Dragon's Dogma it works really well. In fact it might be the coolest thing about the game.
You create a main companion and he/she becomes your follower for the rest of the game. The cool feature is how this connects to multiplayer. As you wander the game world you'll see other pawns populating the game. You can just walk straight up to them and recruit them to your party. These pawns are actually the companions of other real players! This is great because it means if a player is doing well, you can find their pawn, get them to join your party and thus you'll have a stronger party. It's like everyone playing the game is helping each other.
Similarly your own main pawn can be recruited by other players. Then, when you stay at an inn, the game will tell you if they were recruited, what items they found, where they travelled, skills the learned, quest info, knowledge of certain areas/items, etc. They also gain XP. This makes the game world feel more alive, populated. The mechanic works brilliantly. It's also good to be able to switch out your pawns so easily (when you sleep at an inn), regularly adjusting your party to account for different stages of the game or different battles.
The only hilarious drawback is that a lot of players are obviously pervy guys, so it seems like 90% of the pawns are female mages/warriors wearing skimpy clothing. Call me weird but I kind of wanted my party 50/50 split male/female. But I guess I'll just have to settle for this harem of warriors/sorceresses; for now at least. XD

I picked this up really cheap on a sale. I've been playing for a handful of hours. Wasn't expecting much but I'm quite enjoying it. The story leaves something to be desired, but the gameplay is excellent. At last!! An open-world RPG with actual challenging difficult and satisfying melee combat.
