To give you an idea of what a typical early-game quest might entail, we started the demo on a mission to seek out parts to build a new ship. Our character began on an island populated by villagers who had recently started worshipping a figurehead (the lady at the bow of a pirate ship) that had washed ashore some time ago. Prior to that, the villagers had been worshipping a small idol, but once the beautiful figurehead washed ashore they set their sights on her and began transforming into mutated crab people with giant claws and shell-like skin. Our job was to make our way from the shore to the volcano housing the idol and figurehead.
Along the way, we did battle with the crab monsters who were too far gone to communicate, while taking the time to converse with those who still maintained some humanlike qualities. After an epic crab man boss fight--though we guess any encounter with a crab man must be pretty epic--we solved the island's woes by taking the figurehead from them and replacing it with the safe, old idol. Then again, we could have taken both and let the island sink into ruin, but even though we were playing a dreaded pirate, we went the nice-guy route.
