Well guys, I've finally seen TW3 gameplay at gamescom.
I'm gonna type out the entire thing when I get home, but I'd just like to say that it is everything you're hoping for and it will even surpass your expectations. The open world is really an amazing addition and they did some cool NPC stuff. A lot of random events that impact the world as well.
Welcome back good sir. Great news, did you enjoy the Gamescom? I sure hope so, have a safe return to your home!
