So, Crimson Desert drops in a few weeks, and the devs drop a new Overview video to get the hype going. Being that this is the last overview, the devs want to finalize the player’s decision on picking up this new adventure next month. Journeying through the land of Pywell will not just pit you against many adversaries, but the player will have to make crucial decisions. These moral choices will effect the outlook of your character with the people.
Humble Beginnings to Harsh Choices:
Crimson Desert will give players the option to purchase goods or grow them naturally. That is right, players can build their own farm and handle lifestock which makes a self-sustaining lifestyle. Then you shift to growing your crew with the Greymane faction. These are the comrades needed to help with your adventure, and each will have a different role. Dispatch them across the lands for missions that will grant players currency. This is more open than I expected.
Being a people person seems to be key as you soak in the atmosphere of Pywell. Not only will players do tasks for the residents, but they can also partake in other activities like sanctioned fighting or gambling. Then it comes to the criminal side of things, if some feel froggy. Stealing or any other criminal activity will turn the tides in the mood of the people which can also land the player in Jail. That is quite immersive.
Born with a Controller’s Final Thought:
The video will provide all the information further. Personally, Crimson Desert feels like the game of the year, and yes, that is a premature prediction. It has massive replay value, full customization, and a whole world to explore. I am sold and looking forward to journeying in Pywell to see how the story unravels. What say you, and are you going to pre-order? Stay tuned for live playthrough and possible review this March. – Beast Out –
