Dragon's Dogma 2 brings back all the joy of Capcom's 2012 cult hit with few real changes

At first I thought it was a bug, but after the fight I realized they had some knowledge of these enemy types but not enough, and as a result they confused one for the other. Now that’s what I call attention to detail!
That actually sounds really awesome.
