There are elements like hair and makeup you can adjust for gold - a lot of gold, admittedly - but actual plastic surgery inDragon’s Dogma 2will require a special book. What, that’s not intuitive? Don’t worry, I’ve explained exactly how you get it and how you can change your appearance in Dragon’s Dogma 2 below.Where to change your appearance in Dragon’s Dogma 2(Image credit: Capcom)As mentioned,you can change your appearance at any barberiein the game – for example, Clovis' Barberie in Vernworth –but you need to have the “Art of Metamorphosis” book in your inventory.
