The first is with your brother Corvus, you have the option here to tell him of your father’s untimely demise or lie about it, I don’t believe it has any story-changing or mechanical difference to the game so just RP how you imagine your character would here. ***finish looting and quests before progressing through a chapterĬhapter 1 Pt 1 – The Castle Under Siege Outer Keep Lvl 2 Pt 1Īfter reading the starting journal entries this chapter starts out with 2 scripted conversation events in the Outer Keep Lvl 2. ***make note of idiot follower AI problems ***make note of how difficult it may be at the start, and how the bowmen can seem deadly early The setting is fairly standard fantasy stuff, but its treatment of the Sha’Ahoul orc-like peoples is pretty interesting and more in-depth than alot of other generic fantasy games, and the whole treatment of the game is the story of one siege on a single castle where everything takes place over a short time period is essentially this one location with the castle defenders trying to stop every trick the invading force pulls keeps it to a rather nice and concise narrative that doesn’t end up going down regular fantasy plot tropes too unnecessarily. But it is somewhat of an enjoyable page-turner in my opinion.

If you don’t enjoy reading and getting connected to the characters then it might not be the game for you, and I’m not going to say it’s a groundbreaking masterpiece as far as writing goes (it was ahead of the curve with its digital delivery system during its initial release). It is extremely dialogue-heavy with an expectation you figure things out by talking to all the available characters as you come across them, and the atmosphere is enhanced by lots of soldier’s journals that are left about their rooms and some books about the history of the various kingdoms of this world. When they released this game, the company’s slogan was “Played any good books lately” so I feel this game is best approached more like a book. it is the safest playstyle while it works. You can try being low armor, but it might be better to be doing melee as a backup for when you run out of mana.įinally, if you picked the sneaky scout style of play and you’ll wanna get used to going for the stealth crits and trying to one-hit enemies.

When you are playing without party members you can do alot more kiting, alot of enemies have such long windups that you can dodge out by clicking far enough to trigger running for your character then dip back in and get a hit in, this works better in the early chapters before you have good gear if you are gonna do any melee fighting.Įarly on being a mage is rather difficult (later it’s one of the easiest combat styles) due to restrictions affecting your ability to sling spells and your rather low mana pool. This game doesn’t have the best combat system ever so here are some tips to deal with the quirks.

In reality, you should be saving these points for trainer’s in each chapter as the upgrades they have available are always better than just raw spending points (exception being you can’t wield a weapon), so you should generally make sure you’ve bought all of that training for a chapter before you do basic upgrades. To start, your class doesn’t really matter for base gameplay mechanics, what it does matter for is which of the 3 “Optional” chapters you will be forced to play, and in those chapters, if you’ll have access to a class-specific quest.ĭuring character creation you’ll have 10 TP to spend, I recommend not doing this right away except for getting a scout character to have enough strength to hold a bow, but even then wait until you get your beginner’s bow. ****This guide is currently under construction, right now Ch1 is finished, will do more as I can screen shot and inventory later chapters*****
