However stick to the story missions at first and let the rest come was my strategy. You'll gather information on the Orc captains and start to hunt them down or in some cases they will hunt you down. It doesn't take long to see that the world is evolving without you. In fact I was surprised at just how much this game adapts, I came on an encounter between some orcs fighting an Ogre and just hid and watched, it was fantastic.
After killing my first captain, I drew the attention of another one who I knew nothing about. He tracked me down to send his pack after me, I dispatched them but he was gone. I'm sure to keep an eye out for him now. The combat is fluid and enjoyable and that is a good thin because there is a lot of it, I mean A LOT. I must of killed 150 orcs to get to my first captain.
Graphically I'm not overly impressed yet on the PC. I have no idea if my settings are bumped up due to time. I'm also near the black gate, not the best looking countryside around. I didn't experience any frame rate drops people mentioned in the PC version but my machine is beyond most mortal men

I contemplated taking the day off just to play this some more, but I knew I would end up dealing with the new puppy all day and not get anything done. So far I'm impressed by the living world but could of done without the Tomb Raider unlock system, I mean i need to unlock a skill to shoot barrels that explode? Really?
