The new FAQ for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on Steam gets right to the point and answers a lot of concerns. It's definitely worth a read.

Q) Does the game still have letterboxing?
A) PC version now features full screen rendering without letterboxing on standard 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen monitors.

Q) Is the Eternal Ferrystone and bonus items/gears available in the PC version?
A) Yes! Bonus Items immediately accessible are: Swordman’s Ring, Daggerist’s Ring, Staff-Bearer’s Ring, The Lion’s Spine, Robe of Enlightenment, Wavering Cloth, Vagabond Armor, Tiara of Enlightenment, Ruminator’s Monocle, Jester’s Cap, and Fiend-luring Incense. Completing the first escort quest and reaching Gran Soren will unlock the following: Eternal Ferrystone, Set of Fop’s Trek Wear, Voldoan Armor, Priest Vestments, Lady’s Trek Wear, Queen’s Clothing, and Nun Vestments.

Q) What languages are supported in-game? Any plans to implement additional localization? What about voiceover?
A) The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese text as they were originally available on the console version. There are currently no plans to add other languages. The game includes English voiceover. Japanese VO unfortunately is not supported due to licensing restrictions.

Q) What’s the maximum frame rate supported by the game?
A) Dragon’s Dogma currently supports up to 150 frames per second, which means the game can take full advantage of 144Hz monitors provided you have a capable PC. Please note an upper limit has been imposed at 150 fps in order to avoid any potential game-breaking issues. (e.g., physics interaction and rendering error)

Q) What is the maximum resolution supported?
A) The game supports arbitrary resolutions exposed through Windows. We’ve only tested up to 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution, but the game theoretically should work beyond that provided you have a capable graphics card and monitor that supports it.

Q) Can I use my saves from Xbox 360 or PS3?
A) No. Saves are not directly compatible with the PC version.

Q) Does the game support modding? Any plans to integrate with Steam Workshop?
A) Dragon’s Dogma does not officially provide mod functionality nor tools to enable community mods. This is primarily due to limitations on the proprietary MT Framework engine and MTF development tools used to create the game. Unfortunately, tools only exist as a full-on development suite, contains licensed middleware solutions, fonts, and assets that cannot be sub-licensed, and therefore commissioned for internal use only.

Q) What’s Capcom’s stance on fan-made mods?
A) We won’t stop modders from tinkering around with the Steamworks edition of the game. The act of modding Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen and use of modded content is not officially warranted or supported by Capcom. Play at your own risk.

Q) What DLCs are included? Are there any plans for future DLCs?
A) Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen for Steam is the complete package. There is no additional content to purchase beyond the base game! All previously released DLCs on the console, including pre-order exclusives and bonus content, are all baked into the game.

Very candid answers that put any of my doubts to rest about the game. Time to get my man cave stocked up as it will take many hours to fully complete every quest.

I agree with Couch. For the price I feel this is a bargain. Played the original game to completion but not the DLC.. For once, this seems like a decent console port at a fair price which is rare now IMO.

Totally agree. It is really refreshing to see Capcom honest with customers. And for $30, this is a tremendous value. I'm SO EXCITED for all of you! The wonder and awe I felt playing Dogma the first time! The realization of how much fantastic stuff is in this game! The joy of climbing onto Ogres as they get excited at the sight of women (you'll understand when it happens)! It is too much!

I can't wait until Jan 15 when we can all share in this bliss! I wonder if we can share pawns between friends. In that case we should friend up on Steam and share in jolly pawn collaboration!

Capcom has come a long way since those horrible PC ports of the early Resident Evil games. They used to be considered one of the worst developers when it came to porting their games to the PC. I'm glad that's no longer the case.

You might as well drink horsepiss. Tastes about the same but you don't have to pay for it. :lol:

Was thinking about picking this up but couldn't find any other info about it on this site. Opinions? General consensus? It seems to have rave reviews on Steam.

Just ask Brumbek. He can tell you a thing or two about it. :p

I think it's worth purchasing. It's mainly action with lite RPG options. It looks great, plays nicely, has a good setting and has enough little touches to make it stand out from the pack - especially the pawn system.

Only thing I don't like is single save, you get used to it though. Console UI can mean a few extra clicks at times but this is a minor quibble. Same for limited number of actions you can hotkey.
