Why are my Pawns attacking NPCs in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
In the early days of Dragons Dogma 2, players noticed suspicious activity from the Pawns. Namely, the Pawns randomly attacked the NPCs, even those associated with the story and quests. After the main storyline in Vermont, there is a quest that includes an NPC called Kendrick. However, once Kendrick appeared, the Pawns attacked him and killed him, effectively locking the game’s progress.
There are several reasons why Pawns are killing NPCs all over the place. The first possible reason is anuntreated bug, which is highly likely due to the technical problems the game faces. Another plausible possibility is aDebilitationcalledDragonplague, which affects the Pawns only and makes them act weird and violent. You could even hear from one of the Pawns that they are coming back from other dimensions stronger but less stable.
The most interesting take about this occurrence is that Pawns are learning how to behave from their Masters, and many playerskill NPCs to increase the game’s frame rate. This is the least probable theory but also very fun to think of.
