Along with exploring this new environment, they will be able to interact with its inhabitants and experiment with dialogue options and choices. Once the masterminds behind the attack on Eros catch up to them, they will also experience the combat and upgrade mechanics first hand.
Owlcat aims at incorporation valuable player feedback from the beta into the final game.
