The few animated cutscenes are gorgeous as usual. Took me 15 hours to complete (for a single playthrough), same length as the first installment. So I got the game off of the Steam sale on Saturday morning, finished it last night. Haven't felt like that since Telltale's TWD. I realized that I wasn't "the good guy" (and no the Dredge being people had nothing to do with it), but rather 'the man who does what has to be done'. Before now, I hadn't taken supplies or killed others for them, but now I did. But then after Yrsa bailed, and Onef betrayed me, I became. I haven't realized how so much has changed I started out trying to be calm and peaceful, not to force my way through. When I got to the city, I sent Rook on to shoot the fake arrow. I then got betrayed by Onef and sincerely thought that I was screwed (Menders OP! And he was an "apprentice"?), but got my revenge. It's decided not destroy the bridge because I realized just how fragile the alliance was, and that the fall of the fortress of pretty much better enevietble. I decided to keep on trekking but Once caught up with me and I took him in (at the time I thought Enkiel was a crazy.). Anyways, on the other side of the world: I decided to try to break into Frostvelleyr but just as I took the walls, I was stopped and the men closed the doors again. My jaw dropped though when I saw what had happened to Grofheim, after having spent half the game traveling there.
Later on, I decided against my better judegement to go with Yrsa's plan (I like her attitude! She's a bold one.) to set the forest on fire, but in hindsight now I suspect she just used that as an opportunity to run off back to Abberang. (Speaking of which, I would've liked to have had seen more of Ubin). Spoilers!įor the first chapter, I was wary of anything happening to Ludin, (because if the prince died, then the king would probably second guess his alliance with the "great" Carl of the north.) but eventually backed down and used him as my main along with Erikk in Ubin's party. (Reminds you of 'The Oregon Trail', doesn't it?)Īnd now, for your fellow experiences. You are a leader of a caravan with limited supplies, vulnerable defenses, pursued by horde of ancient foes, surronded by potential traitors, and no option to turn back as you trek across a barren tundra to a "sanctuary" on a hope and a prayer. The writing style is reminiscent of those '80s D&D novels like Dragonlance, but again on the bleaker side. It's set to be a three part game, with the first part out now and takes about ten hours to complete.
It's set in a low fantasy, Nordic inspired realm with an art style calling back to those old Disney animated films like 'Beauty & the Beast' that you watched as a kid (make no mistake: the tone of the plot is pretty grim). TBS is a story game with some CRPG (Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, etc) gameplay.
Sure, has some problems, but for the series' first episode this is amazing imao. Just finished this game, and, wow! Can't wait for part two.
