A new Crimson Desert patch adds the only RPG feature that matters: A hide helmet button

Crimson Desert has gotten frequent and hefty updates since its blockbuster release, and today has brought yet another payload of changes. You can read all about it on developer Pearl Abyss’s website, but let me skip to the good stuff: you can hide your helmet now.

The highly requested feature is delightfully granular, too. In settings under “Language & Gameplay,” you can choose whether your equipped headgear shows in cutscenes, all the time, only in combat, or not at all. Warhammer miniatures have taught me that the less protective headgear a character is wearing, the cooler they are, so I know which option I’d pick.
