Broken Quests Frustration
Admittedly, I found the style of the game a little less than inspiring during my first hour or so of play, but I soldiered on and actually found myself liking the game more as it progressed. It was growing on me, which was pleasing as I learned more about the mechanics of play and how to do different things. However, sixteen hours into the game I started 'discovering' that the scripting of many quests is simply abysmal. There was an early sidequest I had apparently failed without realising, because I'd proceeded naturally through an early main storyline checkpoint, again without realising it would affect any sidequests, because they're mostly your bog standard fetch this, find that, escort him/her type fayre. Whilst failing a sidequest shouldn't be an issue, when you fail 'sidequest A' and then subsequent sidequests are reliant on its completion, suggests a poorly scripted and broken quest mechanism. Indeed, if you've failed 'sidequest A' then the game shouldn't even be offering 'B, C, D,' etc, as part of a linked string of quests. Essentially, what that led to was wandering around a large game world trying to fulfil subsequent quests, that can never actually be completed, all because 'sidequest A' failed, and meaning that characters and locations mentioned in the subsequent quests never appear. I only discovered that by looking through guides online, which often pointed to the broken and poorly scripted quest mechanisms. The only recommendations were to do certain sidequests in a specific order of sequence, before accepting or doing others. Truth be told, these quest problems make Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen seem like a game that doesn't know what it wants to be, whether that's an open world sandbox, an RPG adventure on rails, or a mixture of the two. The problem with the latter is that it utterly fails to connect the two with any coherence. There's a good game here, but sadly, one that's buried in bugs and poor scripting that ruin the experience.
