Well that settles it, Itsuno has terrible vision. There's no way any clear sighted game designer would think having DD2's shit enemy variety, shitty static spawns for enemies spammed every few feet and almost complete lack of rewards for exploration "was a good thing that people wanted, actually".

A certain major gaming site will soon post an exclusive reveal of a huge expansion for Dragon's Dogma 2. It's not just a DLC, the base game is also getting a substantial free update that will go out to everyone at the same time as the expansion release.

First, the free update for the base game world.
>Loot overhaul - better gear can be found and chests have a random factor. Includes new gear
>A few new creature variants (not new types)
>Spawn points overhaul - less spammy and non-boss spawns now have random enemy selection
>A small number of high level dungeons have been added
>New QoL options, such as auto-continue dialogue
>Hard Mode

The DLC
>brand new snowy region similar in size to Vermund
>new enemies
>includes a sprawling dungeon, significantly larger than BBI
>designed to be highly replayable with both enemies & bosses having a random factor
>2 new vocations
>a few new skills for all vocations
>COOP has been added, but only within the DLC dungeon area
