I’m sorry to break it to you, but don’t expect to be able to play an evil pest in Crimson Desert: ‘Would I recommend a full playthrough in that playstyle? Eh, I don’t know’

Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game from the creators of Black Desert, which will not be classified as an RPG. The game features a unique approach to player choices, particularly regarding "evil" decisions like theft, which can lead to consequences such as decreased trust and law enforcement attention, but may also provide rewards like increased attack levels based on negative notoriety. The game encourages players to craft personalized playstyles rather than following a binary good or bad path.
