''Massive wall of text crits you for 10,000 damage. You die.''

But in all seriousness, I agree. The pawn system is abit lacking ("abit" is an understatement). While Capcom does give you the ability to slightly control your pawns, via the Directional Pad, it's not perfect.

If I remember correctly, and don't quote me on this, Capcom added the pawn system sorta at the last minute. They originally wanted Dragon's Dogma to be  much bigger (You can take a look at my profile page at the bottom if you're interested), however due to budget cuts they were unable too; instead they added in the pawn system. This may be the reason why the system is not perfect, but it gets the job done.

I've seen countless forum posts on: "What do you want to see in Dragon's Dogma 2!?" and almost always, one of the reasons is: "Better Pawn AI". So ... you're not alone.

Hopefully Capcom will learn from the feedback given and improve.
