Cities?

[⚔TonkRogerio⚔]

Does this game have cities like elder scrolls games or is it more like elden ring?

[AR Ponto]

Once you're out in the open after the prologue, you'll be able to reach the city, among other places.

One of the main key areas of the first chapter is the “Horns of the South” l. It probably doesnt compare to major cities in skyrim, but there are definitely a couple dozen NPCs present, yeah

[⚔TonkRogerio⚔]

So there's only one city or a few like more traditional open world rpg games where you can trade and get quests at?

Can someone explain if there's quests/npc trading etc or if it's pointless and more like elden ring open world

Currently there is only one major city, yes. theyve at least teased the second city thats coming in a later chapter, and might probably also add the city of Kamelot at some point

Are there taverns and inns in the city?

OK so this game has been on my radar again and I'm curious if it's actually more like elder scrolls now with multiple cities, shops in each city, quests etc with a big open world or if it's just the view and combat that is like elder scrolls.

There's towns, one in each act, which are fairy big and have multiple quests. The areas are progressive however, so you spend time in one map, then go to the next one. So yes and no, really. There's three acts.

its more similar to avowed where the regions are self contained, and the cities are hubs for that region.

The other answers answered you fully but just wanted to add context;

there's merchants, yes. Cities, yes. But it's not like elder scrolls where you have access to the entire game at once - the game is split into 3, and each main act has a huge explorable area - think like divinity original sin 2 or bg 3 - you can pretty much go anywhere and in time you will if you do all the quests, but it's all within that hub. The cities exist with quests and stuff, but don't expect a pure ES experience where you can wonder around, find new cities, find new quests, it's not quite like that.

OK I've changed the top answer. I'm grateful for the previous top answer but I have to change it now as there is a lot more information now after two years.
Thanks everyone. I get what the game is like now.

I'm wondering though, can you go back to a previous area or are you locked to the area you're in in the current chapter so if you missed quests you can't go back and do them?
