The trailer also shows features in action that didn't make it into for its original release. Players toss up stone walls in the middle of building a base and hop on antlered mounts and chunky dragons. Although features like base building in might be familiar to players today, the barebones feeling that the game had at launch was partly thanks to the initial lack of any such gameplay elements, putting ahead in some key regards right out of the gate.
