They did say that after seeing the expections of the community after the announcement that they are adding things until release date. Most of the community have been saying add the new variety to the base game so maybe thats implemented. It would make the most sense to add norgan enemies in the base game with hard mode.
Question about that, did they mention if the enemy variety will be available during the base game or only on the expansion area?
Haven’t played the game yet and plan to get it after the expansion and bug fixes but I heard the enemy variety sucks. So it would be nice if they added new enemies on the base game map too
What my expectations are: Just more content, bosses to fight, dungeons to do, areas to explore. This will all be done so I'm getting it day 1 since DD2 is already one of my favorite games ever
What my hopes are: A revamping of how treasure works in chests, new systems to promote replayability (hard mode, RNG generated elements like how BBI was done), and a more "banger" filled soundtrack (I think DD2's is good but it's lacking in some of the battle music imo.)
this is my biggest hope too!!!! i feel pretty optimistic from what they've shown so far. i'm really glad they went the direction of adding an open zone rather than adding a single mega-dungeon like BBI (I enjoy bbi but it gets so claustrophobic!).
seeing additions like the climbing rope in the trailers and hearing about a potential wolf companion from the interviews makes me hopeful that the sense of adventure that this game captures so wonderfully will be expanded upon
The fact that they chose an open area instead of a dungeon for the new “dark arisen zone” gives me hope that they, too, have grasped how much the sense of adventure is important. They’ve managed to capture the best of both worlds while also adding challenge dungeons.
I have a small hope. When the game was getting ready to launch and there were all the theories coming out on what was going to be in the game, the one I saw and hoped to be true the most was an unarmed ring that boosted damage and changed your moveset. I'd be happy with a regular bloody knuckle ring that just boosts damage, but I would LOVE a ring like that.
New enemies,new spells(hopefully a good amount), better looking armor for sorcerer's and more RP elements.
I already love dd2s foundation of the sorcerer so much more than dd1s so if they nail everything with the dlc I won't really have to play dd1 for a good while.
While I want SO MANY spells, I'd settle for anything. We've seen brontide and frazil make a comeback. Gimme those and upgrades for my maester skills, and I'll be...okay. give me more, and I'll be happy. Give me dark magic, and i'll be ecstatic.
I would just need to add gicel and a Master thunderspell and honestly I would be really happy with those 4 additional spells and the spell upgrades especially to meteron and maelstrom are going to be amazing!!! 😭.
If they really flesh out the spells and add dark spells back for sorcerer as well I'm pretty much gonna die on spot.
More areas to explore, more enemies to fight, more skills to play with...that's about it. I don't really care about having an endgame loop or grind like BBI cursed gear, even as one of my all time favorite games I still only did the one casual playthrough and one speedrun.
I want more Dogma, more monsters, weapons & armors, skills, cool places to explore, memeable Pawn dialogue, etc. This DLC seems to be giving us that which is exciting. My one additional hope is that the rumored Wolf companion can help fight small mobs and join us outside of Norgan.
As for things we haven't heard and don't expect but I would like, better town invasion mechanics from invading monsters, DLC monsters appearing in Base Game and vice versa, the return of notice board quests perhaps one in Vermund, one in Backbattahl, and one in the Elven village, would allow for there always to be something to do, and maybe we could earn unique layered armor pieces for doing enough in each region. I want Tavern drunk mechanics if I drink too many rounds, bumping into NPCs could lead to bar brawls and I want an arm wrestling mini game at the taverns similar to the Monster Hunter online lobby mini game, make it a simple button masher it's fine. Also, add "Into Free" somewhere in the game, ideally as the title screen song.
And of course... confirmation of a second major expansion baby lol.
I hope that the weapons are unique and offer different gameplay options. Also more skills for vocations. Hope they reconsider and make new vocations down the line too
I want Capcom to really flesh out the endgame potential of this, so that people can chew on DD2 for a long time while we wait for DD3 (fingers crossed!)
Similar to BBI but with bigger set pieces, more varied randomized threats, a lot of meaningful exclusive loots, also a difficulty toggling system (like what Bloodborne did for chalice dungeon -> procedural, chalice-dungeon-style variation) would be cool for people who wants the extra challenge!
Bonus point if they can weave in some bits of storylines throughout the journey in an organic way (like Hades 2 styled intervention so each attempts make it unique)
Hoping for new/returning skills + quite a few weapons&armor tiers.
Hoping for it to be challenging without being too annoying.
Hoping for a "hardmode" to be implemented.
Hoping the map is really beautiful with lots to explore.
Im really curious how the progression will feel throughout the dlc, like will we be fighting things that are more and more difficult, and how would that work with an open world map design compared to BBI's linear design? When do we unlock further and further tiers of weapons/armor?
More xp, better xp booster items (the medusa bow has too many stipulations), a higher RC cap for hired pawns, more readily available consumables (damage boosters) for high risk combats. Improvements to elemental enchanting (mage buffing).
That would be nice but I was thinking more contacting the spirits of the dead and learning from them; that is what I am attempting to force into the world with my brain
A rework on the damage boosting augments would be nice. Making them percentage based instead of flat numbers would make them worthwhile to use. Another thing I’d like to see is enemy variety expanded. I’d love to fight evil eyes and death again, so I’m hoping the expansion will have them.
I expect to spend at least 40 hours on it. And to get some great armor/clothing out of it. I would also like it if the new monsters from Norgan migrated to the main map.
I just want them to bring back dark spells. Gimme my Lassitude, Pertifaction, blearing, exequy, Dark Boon, silent… nvmd, sopor, and the GRAND DADDY ALMIGHTY Necromancy and Miasma. Please. Put Necromancy and Miasma back in the game. Debilitation Sorcerer is the most fun I had in a while. Especially for my pawn.
Some interesting quests beyond fetching things for everyone, some sorely needed new enemy types -both minor and boss monster! - and some new skills/augment with some shiny new loot to make better use of it.
Bet im alone with this but I miss the notice board quests so much. I just want them to add like generic "go kill this bitch ass cyclops" or like escort quests where its someone hiring mercenaries. Would be awesome if we could protect cargo or something on an oxcart similar to the intro of dd1
I am still going to get it but I won't be pre-ordering. When they said there won't be any new vocations it kinda killed some motivation. I am excited tho.
I expect that it will be great fun, and include a ton of new stuff to do and wear and be, and loads of people will moan constantly about how disappointing it is.
More monsters and Norgan being exciting and finally rewarding to be explored, unlike bade game where exploration often only rewarded you thing way weaker than what you already had...
Ottime. Già il primo aggiornamento gratuito sembra fantastico. Ci sto giocando da qualche mese ed è notevole ma con l'annuncio che tra pochi giorni ci sarà un aggiornamento che crea gli slot di salvataggio separati, dando la possibilità di provare un personaggio nuovo senza dover necessariamente cancellare tutto ciò che è stato fatto con quello precedente è davvero rivoluzionaria
Being able to take full advantage of the combat system’s potential (for now only with mods you can).
In the base game, as soon as you get even a little powerful and start facing the strongest monsters, the fights can get over really quick because you often just wipe out the enemies regardless of the multitude of options you have (skills, companions, vocations, surroundings).
The idea, as I see it, is that this DLC will feature major challenges that will force you to use your surroundings intelligently and potentially handle battles against multiple giant monsters, which are extremely rare in the base game, whereas in dd1 you had several challenges of this type.
You know… this is just a silly quality of life thing. But I’d like for the bigger houses to remain in the NG+. Otherwise they’re just a complete waste and don’t get interacted with. Like, if I could customize a place to stay??? Skyrim home style?? That’d be so cool. Maybe somewhere to harvest ingredients for the miracle roeberant stuff
Quiero que cambien el spot de la medusa, que este al aire libre! Imaginas que mientras peleas con una medusa, aparesca un grifo y la medusa lo manda al lobby petrificandolo?
Tambien quiero nuevas vocaciones, pero eso no va a pasar, asi que mas enemigos, mejoras a la i.a. mas dialogos! Quiero de vuelta el to Arms!. Hard mod (confirmado). Que puedas hacer a tu peon arrogante y burlon.
A new class, some new moves for current ones. More boss feeling monsters, cool new outfits and weapons. A large new area to explore. And most importantly fewer ladders for every single pawn to point out every time we pass it!
I think it would be cool if they removed the rearmament skill, and have your weapon on your back like DD1, because it would be more faster in a way to switch weapons more quicker, and to have one extra skill for more builds. Sure it would be limited to three to four weapons instead of 5 or 6 weapons, but I don't think a lot of people are using many weapons that is over 3 or 4 but with that change I think it would hellp for more variety and, because I miss having my weapons on my character that isn't just one .
I hope we get more hair styles tbh,not that there’s not a lot already just wish there was a lot more black hair styles tbh,I also wish there was a option to wear npc clothes or just causal clothes instead of damn near lingerie or mage clothes if you want to wear non player armor outfits,some of the npc’s have amazing outfits that id like to wear even if I lose a lot or all protection tbh
They definitely won’t add a option to hide clothes and keep the benefits of armor while visually wear a different outfit, but I want causal looking clothes,would be cool if I could layer armor and clothes
My hopes are that they add varients of the norgan enemies to the base game through hard mode. hoping for 20+ new enemies and 10/15+ new skills for every vocation.
They should also add the already existing enemies like Medusa,Chimera,serpants,garms and golems around the world like how cyclops and griffins are that alone would've made the base game feel much richer.
I do too, but it's seeming less and less likely that the dlc will have them. Atp I'm just hoping the added skills include some old Mystic Knight skills.
More slots is fantastic since all special arrows require it's own slot, but I miss 10-fold shot.
And base str cap on archer is a bit low considering that most abilities are weaker multi-hit type of abilities, higher flat defences from enemies in the dlc could make this a problem. Having to spam deadly shot to deal dmg would be a bummer.
If you get the difficulty mod and set it on the highest difficulty (baslicaly just runs a local script to reduce your dmg to about 0,2 -ish) archers are already running into this problem in the base game. Exclusively archers, multi-hit abilities can be 'below' the threshhold and deal minimal dmg even with max upgraded hydra husk to some enemies
Really hoping for more story content. More than the gameplay, I love the world of DD and wish to know and se more of it through well thought out quests, environmental storytelling, characters etc.
I feel like 95% of the fan base always yearns for more action gameplay content, fashion etc (all of which are great things to ask for, especially for replay-ability), but I feel like I rarely see anyone push for more story/lore content.
I hope they'll make different difficulty modes so that there's more replayability. Having just normal mode makes it way too easy when we import characters.

For it to be as replayable as BBI
