Summary

Dragon’s Dogma 2is set to release on March 22, and some players are already planning on killing a bunch of NPCs to fix the game’s reported frame rate issues. With the release ofDragon’s Dogma 2being imminent, many players are already making plans on how to deal with potential problems with performance.

It’s been a long wait forDragon’s Dogma 2, but the game’s launch is finally on the horizon. The first game in the series was released over 10 years ago, and as the launch of the sequel draws closer, many fans are excited to find out what the game has to offer. Ahead of launch, thecharacter creator forDragon’s Dogma 2was released in order to give gamers a fun preview, and it succeeded in heightening the excitement for many fans.

Aftera spokesperson for Capcomconfirmed that the frame rate issues are likely due to the number of NPCs in a given area, some players have found a wild way to fix the problem.Fans on Reddithave proposed the solution of building a community list of specific NPCs that can be killed without affecting the game’s story. Since the frame rate drops are tied to NPCs, many fans have jumped on board with this method.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Players Plan On Killing NPCs

There are reports of specific areas inDragon’s Dogma 2, like Vernworth, being particularly rough when it comes to the frame rate drops. While some fans are completely on board with the idea, other fans have warned that it may be wiser to wait for a future patch that fixes the problem. Death is pretty consequential inDragon’s Dogma 2. It’s been confirmed thatonce an NPC is killed, they stay dead forever unless resurrected, so taking such drastic measures to improve frame rate could have major consequences for a player’s game if they accidentally kill an important NPC.

With there now only being mere hours untilDragon’s Dogma 2’s launch, it will be interesting to see just how intense these reported frame rate issues are. Although the proposed solution of eradicating NPCs is a funny route to consider, it could ultimately prove to be detrimental to the rest of the game, so it may be best to wait for an official patch.
