There have been several promising updates in this regard. Obsidian EntertainmentUpcoming role-playing game by GO Accepted in recent times. It looks like the RPG will follow in the footsteps of the studio’s previous game tOutside world, Stick to shorter lengths.

Game director Carrie Patel said: TechRadar: “So in terms of both the scope and structure of the game, I would look at The Outer Worlds as a very good point for comparison.

He said, “It’ll be roughly the same in terms of the length and breadth of the experience, and it’s also similar in terms of structure.” Unlike some games, particularly the role-playing games for which Obsidian is known, which can last up to 100 hours, The Outer Worlds breaks that mold at just 20 hours.

Cass Marshall of Polygon where did it go He said the game was “very satisfying” as it lasted over 20 hours, and added that he wanted more developers to follow suit.

What is the structure of the game?

Patel then explains that the world structure is divided into several open areas, which is similar to The Outer Worlds. “Instead of a pure open world where you have one huge, continuous map, you have a series of open areas that open up as you progress through the story, and what that really allows us to do is give each one a different character – really a different aesthetic,” he explained.

“At this point, you’ve seen Shatterscarp which is a desert with these rocky high areas, and now we’ve also seen Emerald Stair which is almost the opposite of that; it’s a very swampy, gloomy, lush, green forest area.

“So by having these open areas, it allows us to give each environment a distinct sense of character, and it also allows us to create a sense of dispersion and distance between them because you’re moving from one part of the living land to another.”
