Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it if I already have the first one? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Looking at reviews, it seems like a common criticism of the second game is that it's mostly a repeat of the first with a few additions, but also without fixing any of its issues.

To people who have played both: is it worth playing the second one? I already have the first, as it was included in a bundle, but never played it.

Thanks everyone for answering! I'll be playing DD first then.

Personally, I preferred the first one. If you've played through 1 and are still itching for more, 2 is definitely a fine game.

Really? Why's that? Did 2 lose something or it's more of a personal preference/vibes thing?

I think the first game did a better job of making the player feel like they were starting at 0, and working upwards from there, which is my preferred RPG progression.

In 2 I sort of felt like I was already a badass from the start. Might have just been my perception, but I remember in 1 finding the harpies scary and challenging when you're escorting the ophidian head on the cart to the capital. In 2, you run into a bunch of harpies right after the first camp, and they were just like nothing.
