Of course some are more fleshed out than others, but discovering all the little nuances is a pleasure, and it will take you tens of hours. The knowledge mechanic also implies that there’s an enormous amount of actually meaningful NPCs, each with his or her own spoken lines, interests and personality. Hold your thought on Energy, because we’ll get back to it later in the review. Knowledge also has a gameplay effect: the more knowledge you earn, the more your Energy pool raises. Once you acquire knowledge on a topic, it will be available for consultation in a dedicated menu classified by topic, and there are a gazillion of topics, ranging from ecology to academics, characters, topography and many more. You’ll gain knowledge and and the relative pieces of lore just by poking around a lot and by speaking to a veritable myriad of NPC (those who provide knowledge are normally indicated by an icon, so you won’t need to speak with everyone, even if it’s still fun to do). While not apparent at first sight, the world of Black Desert is built over an absolutely enormous amount of lore, that you will discover bit by bit via a mechanic named Kowledge. They felt less like actual worlds, and more like theme parks offering a sequence of rides engineered to provide a certain amount of fun, but they had lost their magic. Regardless of their size, those worlds started to feel small and constricted. In the past few years, that sense of adventure and discovery faded. Almost every night I sat at my PC, savoring those fantastic worlds pixel by pixel, and I couldn’t get enough of them. The experience of living in a virtual world so far from our reality, and sharing with so many others like me the experience of braving the unknown, exploring dark dungeons and fighting terrible enemies, was breathtaking. In the first fifteen years or so, everything was incredibly impactful. I have loved, hated, persevered, cringed in defeat and exulted in triumph. I have wielded magical swords and beam sabers. I have slain an enormous number of monsters, dragons, demons, and all kinds of nasty critters. Since the times of Ultima Online, and even before on the text-only precursors named Multi User Dungeons (yes, I’m old), I have lived through countless adventurers.
