Gameplay Notes

Example of a character and location being busy at the same time.

Example of a character and location being busy at the same time.

In some cases, it will not be possible to join a quest due to a character and/or location being involved in another quest. The player can go to the quest menu to find out which one must be cleared so that the target character/location will be "free" for the original quest. This mechanic is mentioned in a Loading Screen.

Trivia

  • The "Navigate" feature in the quest menu will pinpoint the quest objective on the player's map and signal it with a yellow beam in the overworld. The beam will only appear when the player's distance is 50m or more from the objective.
  • It is possible for another player to join a world while the host player is in a real-time rendered cutscene. The joining player's active character will appear in the scene and the cutscene will not be interrupted.
    • Once the host ends Co-Op Mode, they will have to watch the cutscene again.
  • Ellin, the Wannabe Knight is the only Commission to have Voice-Overs. It has three voiced lines.
