First things first: A major issue is that the pawn rental system currently doesn’t work properly in this version of the game, likely due to a bug that hasn't been addressed by GOG or Capcom. If you're seriously considering buying Dragon’s Dogma, I recommend getting it through Steam, where the rental system works as intended and the relevant bugs have been fixed. Other than that the game is a solid RPG with an amazing open world. The Pawn System is interesting, as you create your own ally that you can lend to other players and it will help them with knowledge aquried during your travels and adventures. This part is working. The broken part is that won't get any Compensation for lending your ally that way, so it's more in the realm of "why bother" getting the pawns monster knowledge up and completing various tasks around the system. The Steam Version works as intended, so if you care about the pawn system it's probably best to buy it there.
