UNBELIEVABLE: Dinga bakaba | History Defined

Crimson Desert does what other games do backwards and that's why it's a beautiful freak of nature, says imsim vet at Arkane Lyon

In most games, for example, your character starts out already knowing what a goat is.

Crimson Desert is "opposite" to most open-world games because the "magic kicks in" later, says Arkane Lyon boss: "Might be why so many find investing time in it rewarding"
