    At 4 seconds in the trailer above, player character is walking out of the low cave and looking up at the bottle village, and above is a beehive like object up on top of the cliff; top-center of the frame. I don’t remember that being there.

    At 1:05 we get a look at what I’m talking about, I know the chair we’re sitting in from the original game, I think Gehn would preside over executions from here, he would open the trap door in the floor to either drown the Rivenese or feed them to Wharks. The player has to use this control to close the trap door so they can stand there and ride the dunk manacles up to the jail cell. But that’s not what I’m talking about.

    Here is the same vantage point from the original game (at around the 2 minute mark). The “cage pyramid” is similar in both along the near wall of the lagoon with the town opposite. But in the new trailer, there’s an additional alter-like structure in the center of the lagoon that wasn’t there before.

    Both of these may just be additional background scenery or they may be altered gameplay features. Both of these details I notice are from a fairly early stage of the game so I wonder if they might add some guidance to players in the early game?

      Ah, I didn’t catch that. I would like to think they’d only add things with a good purpose, e.g. better early game experience.
