Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already available to all owners of consoles and powerful PCs, but players everywhere are complaining about one problem: the game does not have the ability to reset or delete progress. In this guide we will tell you how to create a new character in the game and, if you wish, easily change the appearance of the hero.
Many gamers are looking forward to new adventures in the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and wonder how to create a new character that would perfectly reflect their personality. The game’s customization options offer extensive options to change your character’s appearance, allowing you to fine-tune every detail of your face and body. The question arises: is it possible to create multiple heroes to explore the game world from different angles? And how does this affect saving? In this article we will tell you about all the intricacies of creating and managing characters in the sequel to Dragon’s Dogma.
How to change the appearance of a hero
Creating a new character in Dragon’s Dogma 2 may seem like a tricky process, but the developers have added the ability for players to refresh their character’s appearance at any time. This is especially true if you want to add something new to your main character after hours of playing. To do this, you don’t have to start from scratch – just visit one of the hairdressers (Barberie), which can be easily found on the map through the icon in the form of scissors. In these places, players can fine-tune the character’s customizations: his hairstyle, hair color and other appearance elements to his liking.
In addition, there is another way to change the appearance of the hero: buy the book “Art of Metamorphosis” for 500 RC (Rift Crystals). This item allows for more advanced adjustments, allowing you to change more important aspects of your appearance, including your face shape and body type. This gives you complete freedom to create and customize your ideal hero, adding even more variety to the gameplay and personal investment in your journey through the world of Dragon’s Dogma.
How to create a new character (start a new playthrough)
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, as in many modern games, game progression is closely tied to file saving. If you reach a certain point in the game and decide you want to start over, you’ll notice that the in-game menu doesn’t offer the option to simply delete existing progress or start a new game. This means that to restart the path, you will have to manually delete the save file on your device’s system: console or PC.
On PlayStation and Xbox consoles, go to settings and find the section “Saved data”. Find your Dragon’s Dogma 2 save files, highlight them and select “To delete”.
On PC the procedure is similar. However, we recommend disabling the cloud save feature in Steam first, as manually deleting the files before launching the game will download them back to your device. For this:
- Open the Steam launcher;
- Right-click on the game in your library and select “Characteristics”;
- In the window “Frequently Occur” toggle the slider “Enable storage sync with Steam Cloud for Dragon’s Dogma 2”;
- Now you can start deleting files manually.
Everything else is simple. Don’t close your Steam library. Right-click on Dragon’s Dogma 2, select “Manage” – “Browse Local Files”. Go back to your main Steam folder and navigate to the path “userdata/steamID/2054970/remote/win64_save”. Delete the folder win64_save and all content. Now start the game and check if there are any save files. Most likely you will be asked to start a new game.
Is it possible to create multiple characters at the same time in Dragon’s Dogma 2
In Dragon’s Dogma 2, the save system is designed so that the player only gets one active save file for the main character. This means that you cannot create and manage multiple main characters within one profile. The game has two save slots, but they are not dedicated to different characters: one slot is used for auto-saving and the second is for manually saving progress while resting in an inn.
However, for those who play on consoles and want to explore the gaming world from different perspectives, it is possible to create additional profiles on the console. Each profile allows you to start the game over, which can be especially useful considering the lack of a multiplayer mode in Dragon’s Dogma 2. This solution allows you to experience the adventure from the beginning without losing the progress of an existing character.
