Character Customization
Right at the beginning of Dauntless, you’re able to customize your own character. Although it’s lacking in features when you compare it to Monster Hunter, you can make a pretty good looking hunter.
But like most action RPG’s such as these, once you begin to equip armor and helmets on your person, your character’s face might not even matter at the end of the day.
Still, with six different types of weapons and having the ability to equip boosts to each piece of armor, there’s tons of customization to be had in that aspect.
Elemental buffs on your weapons play a big part in killing monsters as well. You guys don’t understand how cool I felt when I had my flame sword out in battle and I managed to continuously inflict a burning status on a Behemoth.
Bringing the right equipment into battle is very important if you want to look good and also have the upper hand against the scary behemoths.
It doesn’t go as deep as Monster Hunter does, but it’s a nice change of pace, making things simpler for Dauntless newcomers and for people who’ve never played a cooperative monster-hunting RPG.
