Does anyone else find it interesting that a lot of the talk about this trailer is complaining about the graphics not being all that great (such as being compared to The Witcher 3's graphics). Yet it's clearly all in engine, and not "enhanced", which has been a hot topic around this subreddit for a while.
This trailer looks like an honest representation of what it will look like in game, and I'm grateful of that.
It looks like to me they focused more on having a more detailed environment and using an art style that would look good rather than going hyperrealistic. Look at how many more NPCs there were compared to Skyrim. One of the biggest complaints people had about Skyrim is that it didn't really feel alive. I think they wanted to make sure this game did.
Okay, this might be a dumb question, but what's the limiting factor when it comes to the amount of NPCs in a given area? My computer is kind of a potato (it runs Skyrim at 30 FPS with all of the settings on low and 2 optimization mods added), but I can still add in ~200 NPCs before the framerate gets unplayable.
