  • On the long list of named characters in Dragon's Dogma, few are as mysterious as Arsemus II, the Emerald King. He is also known by His Youthful Majesty, owing to his coronation at the tender age of seven years. We never meet him and we never learn where he rules, save that it is a land far away.

I'm still 99% convinced the king was male though since "king" is a traditionally male monarch title, its female equivalent is "queen". other examples of male and female monarch titles are: "prince", "princess", "duke", "duchess", "lord", "lady", "count", "countess", "sultan", "sultina", "tsar", "tsarina", "emperor", and "emperess", while titles like "pharaoh", and "jarl" are gender neutral.

    What i want to know is why is the final quest one you can only get if you got to bbi before post game when if you can only get the quests that come before it after the final quest is already unobtainable. Thats weird as fuck as a game design decision.

    • @ThePawnedPawn
      @ThePawnedPawn Před 3 lety +4

      I believe there's a reason for it. It tells us we're too late. No matter what we do, we can't actually help. However fast we complete these quests time is up and we're just laying ghosts to rest.
      That and for some reason they really wanted us to go to The Flameservant's Throne which is impossible post-dragon.
      I dunno, honestly. There's a great number of things that it could be and we can only guess at them. But somehow the anachronistic order feels right to me.
      This is something that was done on purpose. We were meant to complete them out of order.
      There's one possibility that really hits in a tragic way, too: The Grand Chamberlain, out of everyone who ever entered the island, escaped unassisted.
      Mortally wounded, they put their dying wish to the board but, realizing they were already too late, they simply left to die in their homeland.
      And so the last wish they made was the first we found.

      @@ThePawnedPawn thing is if the last request is put up before post dragon and the first three after post dragon, then that implies somebody had to be there to put them up on the board. So unless some unexplained lore thing is fucking with time, then that implies he still has to be around.

      @@dorianrobinette9712 It's a good theory, since most undertaking the quest are going to be NG+. But we're also talking about Capcom here.
      Dragon's Dogma had an amazing team, but not a flawless one. See, these quests do not have NG+ as a prerequisite...
      If one were to head to Bitterblack Island immediately before facing Grigori they would have a decent chance of being able to acquire the first (fourth) quest. They might even have what it takes to accomplish it.
      The rest aren't any more difficult to complete, but are much more difficult to acquire since more is involved in reaching them.
      By quest-locking them to the post-game they planned for players to have better equipment, skills, and hired pawns.
      Still, it's admittedly supposition as to the reason.
      But no, the Grand Chamberlain is no longer with us. Even if they were, the Emerald King certainly is not. Their posting new quests wouldn't make any sense or serve any purpose.
      It's a tragedy, and one we can largely only guess at.
