Fantastic Beasts And How to Slay Them.

<span class="bold">Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen</span>, the monster-hunting epic that keeps challenging you with dynamic encounters, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 60% launch discount.

Tackling monsters shouldn't be just a roadblock in your epic adventure - it should be the very essence of it. In this massive open-world RPG every fight is its own reward thanks to the dynamic mechanics and deep customization. Train and upgrade your A.I. controlled pawns to fight alongside you or share them online with other adventurers and get rewarded for their exploits.

The 60% discount will last until June 20, 1PM UTC.

NOTE: The game comes with full GOG Galaxy support including Cloud saves, leaderboards, and achievements. Additionally, both the Pawn system and Ur Dragon work exactly as in the Steam version. Keep in mind, however, that the GOG Galaxy servers are separate from the Steam ones, meaning that this is a fresh start.

Watch the trailer.

It's always nice to see higher quality titles being added. Even if I don't have any interest and the price seems steep.

Masterworks all, can't go wrong.

Wondering how this works DRM-free, as in no connection, no Galaxy... And why is broadband connection listed in requirements then.

Actually another question, if the online pawn system works, is it cross platform? Ie will pawns using the steam version be able to see the pawns using the GoG version or are the pawns available to be hired only available from GoG players? I am just saying that the pickings will be slim in the skills categories if it isn't cross platform so you'll end up having to use the computer randomly skilled generated ones.

I'm guessing you can either play offline or connect to the Capcom servers.
Isn't sharing 'pawns' the only online functionality the game has?

Maybe for leader board and cloud saves (when using galaxy)

That's because of the Pawn System. I have played the steam version offline, and it works fine. The problem is the selection of pawns is really bad in comparison to the pawns created by players in regards to skill and behavior choices. You will definitely want to be online to use the pawn system. The pawns are still AI controlled not actual players controlling them in your game, but the skill choices and behavior are set by the other players who made them. The computer generated ones pale in comparison because they tend to just be randomized skills and AI traits.

tammerwhisk: Ur Dragon?
You can fight Ur-Dragon in offline but it only drops 3 weapons this way(also its way easier to kill)

high rated
It seems like GOG is making publishers offers they can't refuse (namely: selling more games and making more money)

have to agree with all this fully.

I have this on steam and after i started playing i started using family library sharing just to build pawns, the way I wanted them, I have one of each class, I NEVER have the wrong pawns.

duping is easy on the servers using steam, if the rift is between steam and gog it will make outfitting easy.
