Some furniture gives you buffs, so decorate responsibly - though you can only receive the buff if you use the furniture. The final option is to use it as housing for yourself, which allows you to decorate it however you wish. Other options are setting it to lodging or workshops, for your workers who can make things for you to sell. If you want to increase your local storage, then you definitely need to set some property to storage - if you’re a hoarder, you’re going to use up storage space quickly. You can also buy houses in most towns, which you can set to different purposes. That said, you can go fishing, but that’s a whole ordeal, at least until the endgame from what I hear. It could be that when you get 50 hours into the game, you get a bunch of fishing quests or something, but I haven’t gotten 50 hours into the game.Īnd people like this don't want me to get 50 hours in, either Whether it’s a quest for an NPC or the Black Spirit, it boils down to the same thing, at least in my experience. Go somewhere, kill a set amount of enemies of a certain type, finish, get sent back to exactly where you just were to destroy their totems, or tents, or something… They’re not very interesting to be quite honest. There’s just dozens of NPCs who need you to murder monsters and faceless enemies. What could go wrong? Black spirits that only you can see, and that have red eyes, are always benevolent right?Īnd so begins your quest into the world of… what was the world again? In fact, I’m sure there’s a bigger storyline at work, but I’ll be damned if I can remember what it is. The basic plot is that your character (whichever class you choose to be) wakes with amnesia, having forgotten a promise to help a black spirit. Personally, I’ve never been much for customisation, so I made my Dark Knight look somewhat presentable (with purple hair, because Third Street represent!), and went to work.

The character creator is very in-depth, allowing you complete control over every aspect - or you can just click the “Apply Most Popular” button, which is basically a polite way of saying random.

And in said cutscenes you don’t even see your own character.
BLACK DESERT ONLINE CHARACTER CREATOR ISSUES UPDATE
The update makes them even better, it’s just unfortunate that you rarely have a reason to get a good look at them outside of the odd cutscene here and there. I began playing this shortly before the Remastered update, and the amount of detail in the character models was undoubtedly stunning. The main thing that put this on everyone’s radar in the first place is the character creation. Of course, there’s the fact that I refuse to pay a subscription just to play a single game, but at least Black Desert Online Remastered only makes you pay upfront to play as much as you want. Massively multiplayer games like Black Desert Online have always appealed to me, but they never really grabbed me.
