Just as the tag line for the game says, "Everything Is True." Think about how the real world would be if every myth, story, legend or folk story were 100% true and not just based on something. It would be quite a scary world indeed. Well this is where all of the stories and missions of the game get their basis. So expect a bit of werewolf, vampire, evil mages, ghosts and zombies to be on your hunting list.
Wait that sounds a little familiar… Didn't CCP/White-Wolf make something like that? I guess it has yet to hit an MMO state yet so I guess that's ok.
Now as it goes with the missions, I'll let the video explain the types but I will touch on one thing. Every character in the game is supposedly voiced and has had mo-cap added. Wasn't this supposed to be the case with Age Of Conan? I remember that being the reason I gave that MMO a chance. Hopefully this is the truth for The Secret World and not just for the first 20 levels of the game. I think I would honestly never buy a Funcom game again if that is what ends up happening.
If you want a bit more and another good look at game play for this MMO, check out the vid below and enjoy.
HUNTER THE RECONING/VIGIL! That's the game I was thinking of. But it is still only a table top book on my shelf so I guess it is still ok like before.
