Multiplayer mod?

[Based Buddha]

was wondering if it would be an easy or "easy" thing for someone to create a mod for coop on this game since i would think that the pawn summon system from other players and how you are able to see their gear could be modified to allow 2p coop. is this likely or would it take a large amount of dedication? also i would just really appreciate if someone could make a mod for this as that would be insanely fun (:

Multiplayer=Extremely over rated. It's a single player game. Not all games need multiplayer....

well it already has multiplayer-esque elements with the pawn system so its already somewhat implemented into the game

I would say look at the first game. I don't think there was/is a mod for multiplayer there, so I would assume it will be the same for this game. Would like to have an option, even tho singleplayer is great as it is.

AI controlled npcs and a second player are ENTIRELY different matter in terms of development. It is not "somewhat implemented" in the slightest.

Probably not an easy thing to implement but I won't say it's impossible as some very talented people have managed to do it with other single player games such as Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk and Skyrim. It's just a matter of anyone is willing to put in that effort and time.

ah ok i see. i thought there might have been some interface there already that could be used to make it work but i guess it would still basically be from scratch if it were to be made.

That is not Multi-player. It's ai pawns made by players. There are zero mp elements. DD had the same system.

Dragon's Dogma Online, pookie. There was literally an online version of dark arisen, but the servers closed. It's only available in East Asia, if I'm not mistaken. Devs are just too dumb. This game has a lot of potential to have a co-op mode.

There's a community playing Dragon's Dogma Online using a limited emulated server, in English,

You can google for their discord. (I avoid posting links, since the moderators here dislike them for some reason)

From what I've seen, there's no working quests, but you can explore the world, and interact with other players while fighting monsters in the world.

You'll most definitely need help setting it up, so chat with folks on the discord, then maybe coordinate there for groups to explore the game's (limited) features.

Well that would require a lot of work because even if there are companion controlled by AI it's a whole different matter. It's true that it wouldn't be the first time for a team of modders to develop a multiplayer mod for a game like this but my guess is that it would take years for a "normal" team of modders.

Closest I could think of would be the Just Cause 3 multiplayer mod.

And yeah - that was a pretty dedicated team, who apparently based the logic on an older one for JC2, which was a much more open system.

Could happen - but given how, well, relatively unpopular this series is now... I don't think it's at all likely a team would just pop up for it, given that DDO servers exist.

Just like Just Cause 4 didn't get a multiplayer mod - because the game suuuucked.

Hard to get a team to care that much for a game that disappointed so many people.

And DD2 really is the Just Cause 4 of the series. Cut back features, bad controls, punishing 'features' that make no sense but are somehow a pride point for the developers, etc.

I think both will kill their respective series.

Hard to want to make a multiplayer mod for that.

Though there may be something poetic about dancing on the broken remains of a fairly doomed fiction, seems there's better games to do that with.
