Dragon’s Dogma 2players desperately want to be able to hide their helmets during gameplay and cutscenes, as they’re a fashion faux pas that’s hiding all of the hard work being put into character creation.
Before Dragon’s Dogma 2 even launched,a lot of fans were confident in saying that it has one of the best character creators out of any recent RPG. There’s been some decent evidence to back up that claim too, withtons of different iconic figures from gaming and TV recreated with surprising accuracy.
Although most fans seem to be pretty happy with the character creation and level of customisation in Dragon’s Dogma 2, that doesn’t mean that it’s free of problems. The biggest issue that fans have right now is thatthere’s no option for players to hide their helmets from appearing on their characters during gameplay and cutscenes, something that has become a pretty standard option for RPGs.
This essentially means that the player either has to choose not to wear helmets and get to show off their character creations in full glory but miss out on the protective benefits, or slap some armour on their head to remain safe but hide their hero’s face. You could just always remove it whenever you’re not in a battle, but that’s a ton of effort for something that most other games just let you toggle within a menu.
Choosing whether to wear a helmet in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is even more of a dilemma since it’s already a fairly difficult game when you’ve got as much armour on as possible.
There are already tons of examples on theDragon’s Dogma 2 subreddit of players having to choose between fashion and functionthanks to helmet hiding not being an option in the game. It seems that most players are simply avoiding helmets altogether or choosing to wear less intrusive headwear like circles instead, which is a pretty wild choice to force upon your community.
The lack of an option to hide helmets is even more frustrating considering how much praise players have for the game’s character creator.All of those iconic recreations of Shrek, Majima, and Leon Kennedyare going to go to waste unless players put themselves at a disadvantage by not wearing helmets or until Capcom adds the feature in a later update.
