At its heart this is a linear storyline, but with the massively open environments (I can still picture the woods I was shown all the way back at E3) and freedom of choice on where to go and what to do, you may soon forget that you are playing a story, but instead feel as if you are living in a world, wrapped in intrigue, strife, suffering and conflict. According to Erin, if you were to play the main objects straight through you would still have around 40 hours of gameplay, now just imagine how many hours you could spend just exploring the world, leveling up your skills or doing anything else in the world you desire.
