These pawns, far from being mere combat machines, will enrich the game with their comments on the environment and point out secret locations, thus providing a more immersive and dynamic gaming experience.

One of the most intriguing features is how pawns will share information with other players including visiting places that might be considered inappropriate. Although they will maintain privacy during visits to private places such as brothels, these astute companions will not hesitate to comment on such events to other players, adding a layer of depth to the world at the cost of the main player's privacy.
The pawns will respect the player's privacy and will stay out of these when the protagonist decides to visit a girl in exchange for a high value in gold. They will not avoid remembering details about such events in their conversations with other players, randomly throwing comments like : “The private rooms of the Arisen I serve have many visitors, but they are rarely the same.” This not only adds an intriguing – and to some, embarrassing – dimension to the game, but also emphasizes the dynamic and active role of pawns as non-player characters as more than just a combat tool.
The ability of pawns to remember and share past experiences, even the most intimate ones, underscores the richness of the companion system in Dragon's Dogma 2. This unique focus on interaction and emergent narrative promises to offer players a truly memorable and immersive experience. in the fantasy world of the game.
