"Once you arrive at your destination, you'll likely notice the vast, open area you're now faced with. This is a new aspect for Age of Conan, but has a real "wow" factor when you take it all in. Initially players will encounter a small camp, with quests to get them started in the region. You'll eventually move into the large head camp of the leader, surrounded by a number of guards. Of course he's lazing around his tent with dancing bare-chested maidens dancing for him (this is Conan, after all). There is plenty to keep players busy in this area, and there are scattered ruins around the region, which have both amazing visuals, and offer dungeon experiences as well."
Comments
Enemies, particularly the "bosses" will also vary their attacks and strategies, employing different emotes of their own. This makes the final battle much less of an "arm wrestling" match, and more of a strategic puzzle the group must contend with. It certainly adds a layer of challenge to the dungeons.
That part, sounds fantastic.
