Crimson Desert update has a few surprise improvements, like finally letting you teleport on your horse and a new ability

I'm of two minds about Crimson Desert's patches—on one hand, Pearl Abyss has been shaving off some of the friction that made its bizarre, madcap action game interesting. On the other, there were a lot of really irritating quirks that needed to be sanded down, and it's downright impressive how dedicated the studio's been to patching it.

So dedicated, in fact, that late last week, Pearl Abyss dropped a big ol' preview on what it'd be fixing, and while a lot of those things have made their way into today's update—which you can see on the game's website—there've been some surprise additions, too.

For starters, you can now set your cutscene fast forward speed to 4x. I assume there's no skip for technical reasons, but ramping up the pace at which you can scrub through all the overdramatic peasant arm-waving seems a good compromise for now.
