Loading screens

Is there loading screens in the game? can you explore all the map without entering a load screen? one thing is really worrying me I have seen in the gameplay is when you talk to someone you enter a short load screen i think this will be really annoying.

Yes, you can enter the whole map without entering a load screen (after finishing the tutorial).
Yes, there are short loading screens before you talk to people. The better your computer is, the faster this screen will be. It is not possible to just cut out the loading screen.

well am planning to play on consoles so idk how long the loading screens is gonna be i wish it was like skyrim or fallout where u can directly talk to someone these loading screens is gonna keep you from talking to people with out even realizing you simply lose interest in talking to people well at least for me i know it will.

Fallout of Skyrim has very simple AI compared to our game.

Loading is needed for switching from 1st person to 3rd person view.

yes, am not an expert in fact I dont have any idea how these game are made all am saying I have seen other games do it with out loading screens even when it needed to change from 1rst to 3nd person. am not criticizing the game I think they have done an amazing job i havnt seen any game that has such a beautiful world and such an advanced AI system.

Loading screen before talking to someone does not bother me but the switch to third-person view when picking stuff up does. It is annoying, distracting and immersion-breaking.

Here’s an example at 9m02s:

haven’t played the game yet put picking up stuff looks annoying. but am pretty sure moders will help with that

The strange thing is that the first-to-third-person switch does not happen every time. In another video an arrow was picked up from the ground and it happened in first-person view.

Only herbs are picked in 3rd person.

Thanks. But why?

Such a weird design decision.

I didn’t make game. Don’t ask me.

Why it’s raining inside the cave in this video…

The picking up stuff is much faster than it was in the beta. I just looked at my videos and it took 6 seconds to complete the picking 1 flower animation… so that’s a start. I thing it’s purely visual, they really like this cinematic approach - they don’t think of it as waste of time when you pick 100s of these, they think of it as this cool visual bonus thing they give us.

It is in fact due to camera issues. During testing it was found out, that camera often clips into other objects during conversations/picking stuff, so when it detects too many objects around, it doesnt switch to 3rd person at all.

The loading times are awful on Xbox One. I own the X and the times are still getting close to a minute per loading screen. It wouldn’t be too bad if it was just the initial loading for the whole world, but I’ve had to wait this long just to enter a conversation sometimes.
Hopefully this is something that can be solved with an update at some point.

If it goes into 3rd person every time ima just console a bunch of herbs into inv lol

well shit :zipper_mouth_face:
