Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen Base Game Changelog

While by far the most important additions to Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen are the new areas, tiers of abilities, monsters, and generally everything that’s actually “new”, Capcom has saw fit to release a blog post with a changelog of the differences between the base game in Dragon’s Dogma and its expanded re-release.
