Sorry if it's already been posted before.
It's 1:15 hour long. Some footage from an Investigation mission from Egypt, which includes platorming and stuff. Lots of questions and info given. Really nice stuff here, except maybe, aborting Draug infants. Well, they are eveil after all 
2 main things caught my attention:
47:00- Joel: "Speaking about how player feedback will affect the story going forward. We do have some plans but no we can't talk about it. We have some plans for certain areas of the game to be affected by player feebback allowing players to make decisions about key characters in certain areas and the future of..
Ragnar- "Why are you talking about Exodus. Shut up"
Joel- "I'm not talking about Exodus really" LOL, Joel gets in trouble alot of times in the video. Ragnar killed in later
I had heard about Exodus before, but i think it was from an interview with Ragnar in 2009(?), but never from a video. I think it was something about Exodus changing the world, via player actions (not sure, don't quote me).
There's no dialogue options in-game. Also, key characters aren't affect in mmorpg because of how important they are to the lore and story. I could something very simple and small, similar to the way SWTOR and GW2 do it with personal story, or it could be a permanent change to everyone in the world. Would be cool, but to early to tell.
Also 10:20- Joel talks about puzzle raids. I knew about them too, but always assumed it was going to be a normal, possibly 10 man, raid with some puzzle elements. Turn out, it could be the oposite. It's mostly puzzles with some fighting in between. Would be awesome if there where environmental puzzles, requiring group coordination to solve. This looks even better than normal Investigation Missions.
Comments
Also...nice find, many thanks!
I have just glanced at the video earlier, but it's actually pretty funny to listen to. These guys are just funny. And awkward. Casting couches? Nobody laughed.
HAHA yeah. My favorite is how Joel ruins Ragnars ending line :P
I wonder when the game ends. They said in it, "I've seen Ragnar's spreadsheet, it has an end. They won't just end up in a church and everyone just in some after life thing [like Lost]." Kind of a sad thing to hear...even if it's obvious that there's an end.
I do hope more people get excited and have that need to want to play Secret World. I am in the closed beta and they really have improved alot of things recently...(character models, animations are way smoother now, overall graphhics "update"..).. If this is a break of NDA, please remove my post but I dont think it is cause it isnt truly talking about content persay, just that its an improvement from say a week ago.
