Modder SonicaKP is developing an ambitious new modification for Dragon's Dogma 2 that aims to introduce a robust homesteading and customization system, drawing clear inspiration from titles like Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. The mod, currently a work in progress, allows players to build houses from the ground up in the game's open world after gathering necessary resources and purchasing furniture with in-game gold.
A gameplay demonstration showcases the building process, highlighting the acquisition of various furniture pieces. Unlike some mods that offer shortcuts, this project appears to integrate naturally with the existing game mechanics and structure. The creator envisions this system as a more organic addition to the player's experience within the world of Dragon's Dogma 2.
This homesteading mod is part of a larger planned expansion by SonicaKP, which is also slated to include features such as creature taming, new mounts including griffins, and gardening mechanics. The inspiration for the housing system is strongly reminiscent of Skyrim's Hearthfire DLC, suggesting a focus on player-driven environmental customization.
Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, the game's upcoming expansion, is scheduled for release on October 9. Capcom has stated its intention to address player feedback and regain the trust of RPG fans with this new content, with Kenta Kinoshita, the original director of Dragon's Dogma 1: Dark Arisen, leading the development of the expansion.
