The game only gives you a vague description of each inclination when you\u2019re creating your Pawn, so it\u2019s hard to know which one is best. There really is no single best Pawn inclination in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. The Pawn inclination that\u2019s best for you will depend on your Arisen\u2019s character build, on your personal playing style, and on your Pawn\u2019s vocation. For example, my Arisen is an Archer, so I chose the Straightforward inclination for my first Pawn, a Fighter, so she keeps enemies busy while I attack from range. But any of the Pawn inclinations might be best for you and your Arisen. All DD2 Pawn inclinations and how they work Kindhearted The Kindhearted Pawn inclination is a good fit for a wide variety of Arisen builds and playstyles. This is because the main benefit of a Kindhearted Pawn is that they will prioritize healing you, which means you can focus on the fun and games of combat without worrying about where your next health boost is coming from. It\u2019ll be up to you to dish out all the damage, though. Calm Pawns with the Calm inclination are arguably the smartest available in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2, but they\u2019re intelligent in a fairly self-serving way that might not be what you\u2019re looking for. If your Arisen is a high-damage tank that likes to take on enemy champions toe-to-toe, then a Calm Pawn could be the perfect companion, as they always prioritize finishing off weaker enemies. This can be very useful, but it does mean they\u2019re not well suited if your Arisen needs a bodyguard. Simple Choosing the Simple Pawn inclination will result in a companion who\u2019s generally well-balanced, but better suited to exploration than to combat. Simple Pawns like exploring and gathering items, which makes them ideal if you\u2019re confident in combat, but don\u2019t want to spend time searching every nook and cranny of every path. But if you want a Pawn that you can count on in a fight, then the Simple inclination isn\u2019t the best choice. Straightforward As I mentioned above, I chose the Straightforward inclination for my first Pawn because I wanted a buddy that would get stuck into a fight, allowing me to hang back and shoot from range. I\u2019d say that the Straightforward inclination is a good choice for your first Pawn unless your Arisen is a Fighter, in which case you\u2019d be better off with one of the more support-oriented inclinations. As you progress and get better able to handle combat without help, the Straightforward inclination will become less useful. But in the early game, it\u2019s definitely a good option. Your choice of inclination doesn't just affect your Pawn's behavior, it also affects how they talk and what they say. Unfortunately, no matter which inclination you choose, your Pawn will be inclined to talk a lot, so here's how to shut them up.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Dragons_Dogma_2_best_Pawn_inclination.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173863"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1173863"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1173937,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173863\/revisions\/1173937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1173877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1173863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1173863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1173863"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1173863"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1173863"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1173863"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1173863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
