Thanks for posting the link to that vid. That was ... interesting. On one hand, it was interesting to see this dude just run around and experience some gameplay without any real themeparky handholding. On the other hand, it was really hard to watch, because he was terrible. I actually thought it was cool when he stumbled upon those stealthed wolves and they almost kicked his ass, but that other character came in and beat them down. I also laughed when he was fighting the bandits and switched targets from the one that was almost dead to the fresh add. Smart. I didn't mind the graphics or animations, but they certainly weren't "better than Skyrim" as I've heard from some of the preview attendees. I know you guys are going to say I'm a complete retard, but did you notice that when this guy hit the game settings menu he stayed on graphic settings for less than 1 second. It makes me wonder if he had shit turned down on purpose, and didn't want people to see all the stuff he had turned off. He did spend some times on the UI options, and that seemed pretty robust.
Pros: Shows the game exists and that beta is really happening. According to his map, the world is huge. Gameplay seemed pretty fast paced and entertaining.
Cons: Graphics were, imo, sub par. Hoping we get some more vids soon from people with confirmed decent systems and settings cranked up.
