Crimson Desert After the Updates | Chapter 1

I'm replaying Crimson Desert six months after launch to see what's actually changed. I enjoyed it the first time around, but I had my problems with it, so this is the start of me going back through everything Pearl Abyss has fixed, tweaked, or added since release. Chapter 1 covers the opening: new cutscene content that finally gives the story some foreshadowing, taking the time to actually talk to the camp members, the first abyss puzzles and whether all the new handholding is a good thing, some odd render distance stuff that wasn't there six months ago, and riding into Hernand for the first time again. Will I enjoy it more than the first playthrough? Too early to say. But the opening hours are noticeably better. More to come as I work through the replay.
