The game director on Dragon’s Dogma 2 has explained that the upcoming fantasy-RPG uses a single save file in order to encourage players to explore more.
Speaking with Game Informer, Hideaki Itsuno commented that while only one save file is supported, having more has “quite the opposite effect of encouraging that exploration feel.”
The game gives you more options. [It] gives you the option to load from the last inn you rested at, so in that regard, it’s not a game where you won’t have any possible way to go back. Regarding what the thinking was behind that, it’s really simple: we want to encourage exploration, and this is quite the opposite of what you get when you allow too much freedom in this regard.
So that is the main reason: I really wanted to encourage the thrill of exploration, and that was the thinking behind the limit.
