Get a Head Start on Your Adventure with the Dragon's Dogma Character Creator!

For many, the greatest challenge in an RPG is not the final boss, the optional mega-dungeon, or even the two-hour turtle fight (looking at you, Final Fantasy XV), but the very first step of the game: Character Creation. Picking from the cornucopia of body types, hairstyles, sliders, knobs, dropdowns, and classes can be an overwhelming task, especially when you want your hero to not only be powerful but gorgeous as well. The upcoming Dragon's Dogma 2 is one such RPG, though they seem to have made an interesting move: A separate Character-building tool has been released for free weeks before the official release!

Titled Character Creator ＆ Storage, this free "demo" can be found in the Steam store and takes up about  6GB of space. After firing it up, you are given the chance to build multiple (up to 5 per) Arisen and Pawns, ripe for your upcoming adventure! The created characters are then available for import into the game proper as it launches. So, if you can hardly wait for your next adventure, or you're curious about this whole Dragon's Dogma thing, give it a look!

Dragon's Dogma 2 is set to be released on 22nd March.
