Elder Scrolls VI has a Crimson Desert problem. For 15 years Skyrim was the benchmark. Every open world RPG got compared to it. I think that just ended. Crimson Desert’s world is so dense that NPCs actually go to church on Sundays. Just Sundays. Rest of the week they’re doing other things. That level of detail is everywhere. Combat makes Skyrim’s look like a tech demo. I’m 48 hours in and still wandering the opening area. The scale is absurd. Pearl Abyss is also shipping daily updates and free DLC while Bethesda is still warming up on Elder Scrolls VI. So when ES6 finally drops, it’s not getting compared to a 15-year-old game. It’s getting compared to this one. More Skyrim won’t cut it. Full breakdown in my latest video, link in comments.
