Look After Your Villagers and NPCs
One of the biggest differences between the Dragon Quest Builders series and Minecraft is the importance of villagers, and the role they play in the gameplay overall.
Where as Minecraft treats villagers as decorations and a way to make the world feel slightly more alive, Dragon Quest Builders 2 makes villagers an integral part of the gameplay.
They offer you quests to complete, require housing to stay safe and happy, and even help you learn new recipes and room blueprints through the Gratitude points they produce from living happily and comfortably.
It’s for this reason you’ll want to make taking care of your villagers and NPCs a top priority. Doing so will allow you to craft bigger and better structures, as well as accrue more than enough Gratitude points to expand your villages into thriving towns.
