Good combat. Graphics can be modded if it bothers you, like Nexus and such.

Gameplay:
- exploration above standard
- exceptional combat and class system
- questing...5% is quality stuff ;)
Story:
- average
- very unfocused. You'll be amazed how little it has to do with the title
- as in 99,99% of games I know, sideplots are better than the main one

Graphics look 2012 with sharpened textures, yes. So what?

The story is pretty terrible overall, but the gameplay is fantastic, and is easily worth a buy.

It will be better once they fix the IP problem. Then you can rent other players pawns. Most of those are better than the free ones (offline) in the Rift. This is not an RPG where it pays to level up as fast as you can. There are 4 things you need to get in this game. Money, Exp pts to level up, Discipline pts to gain vocation levels which unlock various skills and augments and Rift Crystals which are used later in the game to obtain and impro9ve really good armor and weapons. There is a use for almost eveything and your storage locker can handle an alomost unlimited amount of things so never assume an item is worthless, not even a rock. The folks on this thread are friendly folk so don't worry about asking quesitons or for a little help along your way.

The game is awesome and there is a fix for the IP problem which is just adding a DNS entry in your windows host file:

1. Open Notepad with admin rights (right click run as administrator)
2. In Notepad Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (file maybe read only so you might have to right click on the file and choose proberties and uncheck the read-only option)
3. Select Edit
4. At the bottom of the file hosts paste this

54.153.68.84 dune.dragonsdogma.com

5. Select save and then exit Notepad.
6. Run game

For me I bought the game in 2016 on a different steam sale I am sure and just never got around to playing it until about 2 weeks ago. In those two weeks I have put 100 hours into it and love it. The story to me was interesting and I liked it. The only thing I dislike about the game so far is this Post-Game they call it, just because the feel of the atmosphere bothers me. I won't say more about it because I don't want to spoil anything. Now whether I want to play it to level 200 and beat the game 4 times I am not sure that is for me. I love the fact that your character is not stuck as one vocation, however changing them around does impact how your player stats grow an I think it's important to consider. Like switching from a fighter to a mage will have your base magick def and attack low, but the wiki is really good about explaining that. Also, the game has side quests that you either have to find a guide or do some exploring to find. I had some quests cancel because I was playing blind and it bothered me so much I was going to start over. But then I read something about switching to Hard Mode resets the story and not your character, so yeah I had to rerun the main story again, but it was easier then starting with nothing and it allowed me to get other parts of the story that I would have missed otherwise.
