There's an (unplayable) race of otter folk, but they blend with the low-fantasy ambience as comfortably as saguaros in Arizona. There are fantasy staples like elves here, but they're subtle, with their ears usually hidden beneath luxurious hairstyles. Horse taming is but the tip of what it offers. I can think of no other contemporary massively multiplayer online RPG that grants me that same satisfaction.I say that in part because few other MMORPGs’ worlds feel quite so real as Black Desert Online’s. But there's always a moment of quiet joy when I managed to win one over with a handful of sugar. The loop in the catch-rope I cast is laughably too small, for instance, and I can't even tell the gender of the horse for breeding it with other horses until I've caught it.
But like so much else in Black Desert Online, something about how the system works seems ever so slightly off. It's something I fondly remember from real-world experiences in my teens, and I thus admire that such an option even exists in this expansive sandbox-style MMORPG. I've spent the last few hours in Black Desert Online not plunking arrows into orcs or testing my skill against other players, but in attempting to tame horses.
