He runs off in a hurry, and a guard ask you where the \u201curchin\u201d went. You then have a choice: \u201cLie\u201d or \u201cTell the truth.\u201d There are a lot of branching narratives in\u00a0Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2, whereby small decisions can have impact later in the game. So, you might wonder if this simple decision has major consequences further down the line. What happens if you lie? What happens if you tell the truth? And what should you do? Should you lie or tell the truth about the urchin in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2? First, the encounter with the urchin and the guard happens right after a meeting with Captain Brant, during which he tells you that the authorities in Vernworth are evil and corrupt. That alone should be enough to tell you that you should lie to the guard, but if you want more material reasons, read on. Be warned, though, there are\u00a0minor spoilers ahead. You might already have noticed something unusual about the \u201curchin,\u201d namely that he isn't dressed like one. Urchins are normally decked out in rags and dirt, but this chap is rocking some very expensive looking finery. And there\u2019s a reason for that: He\u2019s the queen\u2019s son, Sven. While it doesn\u2019t make much immediate difference whether or not you lie for Sven (the guard finds and chases him either way), it\u2019s a smart idea to get on his good side, so\u00a0I recommend lying to the guard. Later in the main quest, you meet Sven again, and his reaction to you depends on whether or not you helped him. Then, a few quests later, he asks for your help again. If you help him again, he repays your kindness with considerable interest, but it takes quite a while. Eventually, though, your helping of Sven the \u201curchin\u201d is rewarded with the\u00a0Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches, unique clothing items that allow you to enter the palace without fear of arrest. In other words, you totally should lie about the urchin. Various quests and tasks in\u00a0Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2\u00a0require you to sneak in and out of the palace, so the Courtly Tunic and Courtly Breeches are well worth getting hold of. They make it a lot easier to\u00a0get into the Rose Chateau\u00a0for a start.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Dragons_Dogma_2_urchin.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174189"}],"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=1174189"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1174223,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1174189\/revisions\/1174223"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1174200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1174189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1174189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1174189"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1174189"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1174189"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1174189"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1174189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
