My Crimson Desert experience starts at Gamescom 2023, not this year’s iteration. There, I was one of the few who got to attend a closed-door presentation of the upcoming action RPG’s then-current build, watching a developer navigate a bustling city. The hero, Kliff, a warrior from a combat-hardened outfit, explored the city and unraveled a complex quest chain simply by donating a coin to a beggar and listening to his story. There wasn’t a major prompt – it just happened naturally after the player decided to engage.
