The game will be using a GPU based procedural tech that dynamically creates the world around the player. The system assembles the entire environment: sounds, effects, wildlife and game-play elements are dynamically created as the player travels through the world, creating quite the living atmosphere as opposed to the scripted or static environmental elements we're used to in open world games. The land is connected via a road network, staying close to the road leads to relative safety, while veering off brings Aloy into contact with more of the massive Enemies in the game. Certain machines can be turned into Mounts via Aloy's Override mechanic. In order to get to Daytower, we must first go through a corrupted abandoned village, where we stealthily kill corrupted machines. A fog of war obscures the world, and as you uncover parts of the map you will find settlements, points of interest, collectibles and activities outside of quests. Underground ruins and audio transcripts will let you learn more about the world that came before.Ĭampfires are unlocked as you discover them and then serve as save points and fast travel points.

After that, I went and cleared every corrupted zone I could find and explored every part of the map that I could, until there didn't seem to be any more. After all, the only Tallneck-related quest you ever get, apart from the occasional “my focus is picking up some kind of signal” (and, well, To Curse The Darkness), is the repair task in Frozen Wilds. When I attempted to go to the second Tallneck, however, I ran into the Daytower and I was told that the gates would remain sealed until all corrupted zones in the valley had been cleared. I was rather surprised there was actually a quest (likely labelled as errand, but so is Collateral, and how is that an errand?) tied to the Cauldrons, since I’d somehow always assumed you just stumbled over them and stuck your spear into it because that’s the way of the game, and these Cauldrons are just another kind of activity.
