Will there be open world?

[PALPUS]

It's a crazy ambitious idea but it would put this game in the top 10 VR games
(It may already be there tho)

its 20 dollars... for a demograghic of people that is likely extremely small in comparison to your normal gaming base... I dont know anyone personally who even has VR equipment.

I would be astonished if they did some open living world, with fleshed out NPC's, story, quests.... all that good stuff.
Current impression is the only direction they can take it is a hack and slash beat em up.

If they did it,... I can only imagine the popularity of VR exploding.

Would probably be possible if the dev is finished with the combat, which is still buggy and doesn't feel right most of the time, so don't hold your breath

Open world like Skryim? No. Open world like some larger level or hub connecting the different arena with more (some) progression and persistence. Possibly, but there are probably more important and practical aspects of the game that could use work first. The day will come when you have this level of combat system in a genuine large scale open world RPG, its just that day is probably 3-6 years off yet.

I would prefer a classic dungion crall. You have an overworld/hub, It can be your base or what ever. And you get quests and you go on simple quest like, find this talisman. You then load a mission and fight your way through the map to the goal. And then you can do another quest etc.
Just to feel you get some progression.

There is plans for a story mode

"Doesn't feel right" is not an appropriate criticism for anything. Be clear or don't bother.

OP. There is plans for a story mode; we do not know anymore than that. Given that the game itself is quite taxing on computers, an open world is highly unlikely. If I had to guess it's probably going to be a series of levels, (think Boneworks) which you have to traverse.

One can dream though. A fluid open world B&S would be amazing. But as you say.. Highly unlikely unless they somehow severely decrease system demands.
I have seen open world VR games, but they lack the things that make B&S so great.
For example, Skyrim VR is pretty awesome. Throw in some mods and it looks beautiful.
Try to fight melee and you're severely disappointed. I only go for bow/magic in Skyrim VR.

I'm not expecting an open world like Skyrim, but I would like some dungeon crawl sorts of levels. Something akin to Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I kind of thought that's what it was, not just arena levels. But it's still pretty cool anyway

Does that game hold up even today?
I've had it in my library for.. Forever but haven't gotten around to actually try it xD
But yeah, i suppose a dungeon crawl would be possible for this game. Maybe even Skyrim-open.. But NPCs&Monsters would have to be cut down in amount. Seems like the most limiting factor in B&S are the amount of moving entities.

I haven't played it in years myself, last time I played it was long after it's initial release and the graphics weren't as impressive but the action and physics were still fun. I recall it had some hilariously bad voice acting, one major character sounded just like Marc M from the old Sick Animation website, if anyone recalls that.

Gameplay wise, it's actually a quite a bit like if Blade & Sorcery was a standard FPS dungeon crawler, haha
