All Playable Races List and Guide for Dragon’s Dogma 2

Human

The Human race is one of two playable races in Dragon’s Dogma 2. They most closely resemble real-world humans with varying skin tone, height, and body build. Characters from the Human race can be found all throughout the game, though the Kingdom of Vermund is considered the primary settlement of humans.

Beastren

The Beastren race is the other playable race in the game. Beastren have feline appearances, having fur-covered bodies and cat-like facial features. As with humans, Beastren have varying fur patterns, height, and body build.

Characters from the Beastren race are also encountered regularly in the game but are mainly known to reside in the Beastren nation of Battahl.

Non-Playable Races

Elf

The Elf race is a non-playable race that appears in the game. True to their depiction in various fantasy media, Elves are characterized by their pointed ears and majestic appearance.

Elves can be found all throughout the game, though majority of them inhabit the Sacred Harbor, a remote village that their kind considers home.

Characters from the Elf race will also mostly speak in an exclusive language called Elvish which can only be understood by those learned in it.

Possible to create a character that resembles an Elf.

Despite Elves not being selectable as a “regular” race at the Character Creator screen, it possible to create an Arisen or Main Pawn character who looks like one. This can be done by customizing a Human character to have pointed ears, as well as having hair and skin that more accurately look like Elves.

Race Effects on Gameplay

Affects story events and how NPCs treat you in the game.

Being a certain race may affect the outcome of events at various points of the main story. This means that your experiences may be different from other players simply based on your chosen race at the start of the game.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Race and Body Effects

Your Arisen and Pawn character’s race may also influence how various non-player characters (NPCs) treat you when you interact with them.

Some NPCs will be unfriendly or even hostile to certain races, preventing you from accessing or progressing in quests associated with them without meeting additional conditions to gain their trust.

Does not affect your starting area during the main story.

Choosing either Human or Beastren as your Arisen character’s race does not affect the area you start in for the main story. All players will begin their journey in the Kingdom of Vermund, travel to the Sacred Harbor, and eventually make it to the nation of Battahl as per the game’s narrative.
