When I first started playing Dragon's Dogma it was very slow. So slow in fact that I nearly stopped playing it after about an hour. Well, I decided to give it a chance. I was glad I did, at least for a little while. Upgrading my characters stats, magic, weapons & armor was awesome. The pawn system was unfamiliar and agreeable. And the big monster battles, golly gee goodness they were fantastic! Spending 20 minutes taking down a cyclops or griffin was so much fun.
Now that I got the good stuff out of the way... Before questing you would have to make sure you sleep at an inn until morning because at night enemies become incredibly difficult to kill. When I first heard about this aspect of the game, I thought it was kind of cool. I was wrong, and the reason behind this is because travelling the map is a drag. It took forever to get anywhere, and when I finally did, it would get dark and I'd be stuck fighting overpowered wolves in the forest all night. After this process went on for awhile I got bored, I did some magic in a town and accidentally hit a civilian, ended up in jail and couldn't find a way out besides bribing the guard with way too much money. And that's when I stopped playing. I don't think it's a bad game, it's just not for me.
