Just saw the sequel announcement earlier today, great news and I'm looking forward to it already.

The pawn system is a take on asynchronous multiplayer that was new and interesting, to me, at least. Particularly useful is the capability of your own pawn to gain knowledge of enemies you have either yet to face or have struggled with, allowing them to be more effective and giving them improved tactical advice to shout out during combat. What plans are there to expand or refine pawns in the sequel?

Pawns are a great help in the earlier levels, however their usefulness fades beyond a certain level (primarily influenced by player knowledge of each enemy type and how to approach them), and nothing beats playing directly with a friend instead of their pawn. I understand the technical changes for such a thing are likely far beyond the scope of any DLC for the current title, but what can you tell us about the possibility of seeing full cooperative multiplayer in the sequel? Even if only in the post game; the Everfall seems to be a place where past generations of Arisen converge, and possibly a place where the infinite worlds might intersect.

Likewise, the asynchronous nature of the online Ur-Dragon fight is something new and enjoyable, at the start, but after a few generations it becomes a cycle of repetition as you attempt to farm the items you want. Are there any plans to expand the current post-game through DLC? And if cooperative multiplayer is a possibility in the sequel, post-game challenge dungeons would be an amazing addition, and an opportunity to really throw some tough fights at the players.

Last comment is not a question, just a congratulations and a thank you. The Dragon's Dogma team has put together a fantastic game that I personally cannot get enough of, which has the unfortunate side effect of an unending hunger for more content. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!

If we're looking for TLDR bullet points: - Plans to expand or refine the pawn system in DLC or sequel? - Plans to expand the current post game through DLC? - Plans to allow full cooperative multiplayer in the sequel? - Good job, and thank you!
