Being completely new to the franchise, the first game was a little intimidating when ‘How Long To Beat’ suggested over 100 hours. Will Dragons Dogma 2 be an easy jump in point or will I miss a lot of references and lore that the game assumes I already know?
If the latter, are there any recommended sources for DG1 recaps that would fill in the story before playing this one?

IGN shared a great article a little while ago that talks about this.
From what I can tell you don't need to play the original, but it does give context.
Players should be fine jumping in to DD2 and have a great time. At least I hope so, because I'm downloading it now and I'm brand new to the series! 😄
I didn't play DD1 but as far as I can tell DD2 is completely standalone. Hell, in the game itself it acts like a reboot, omitting the 2 from the title screen
DD1 is about 30-35hours and arond 90-120 for 100%
DD2 reported to be about the same, so 24-30 hours long BTW. It's not 100%, it's just reaching final quest. Like many other games, if you go to collect all hidden items and achievements it will be way over 100h.
But you can also take a low page and wonder around, i played for 8h and just entered capital city in a rookie clothes lol
Im 10 hours in. Did not play the original. It's basically a completely separate game from what I can tell or like a remake of the first one.
