There's just about twice the amount of combat abilities in the game compared to Conquistador.

The icon gives an indication of what each option will do. The bubbles are your typical "pick this to branch the conversation" options. There's an ellipsis icon that shows you when you'll enter a loop, so it'll come back and you can try the other options as well. Then there's stat check icons, a combat icon, give resource icon, trade icon, end dialogue icon, etc.
Leo was great for Conquistador being that he is Chilean so he was very much based in the culture we were dealing with then. On Viking we're using Knut Haugen, the multiple-award-winning composer behind eg. the Age of Conan soundtrack.
Sorry but there will be no rape in Expeditions: Viking.
Yeah, I know.
$10 DLC?
Whilst I'm still excited about this game I think the animation is a bit over-exaggerated. Everyone seems to be dancing on the spot.

Can you use the bones of particularly powerful foes (or fallen allies) in crafting?
No, we don't have bones as a crafting material.

Looking good. Can't wait.
It's a minor thing, but I sort of agree with Bumvelcrow regarding the idle combat animations, though it's only when characters in close proximity are synchronized that it becomes distracting to me. See circa 1:33 in the video. I think they're fine otherwise.

What a shame. I heard that bones were sometimes used as carbon for steel forging and the source of those bones had mysticism attached.
We should be able to address that before releaseLooking good. Can't wait.

Looks like there's a few clipping issues with the 3D models as well - shields clipping into their bodies when they're holding them and when units are standing over a corpse they're standing in it rather than the pixels being sorted.

For instance when a character is standing over a body, their foot might be going through the body rather than being sorted in front of it.
I don't know what the technical term is for it. In a lot games I've played that use a fixed camera have some system where 3D models are sorted to prevent clipping, like a sword swing doesn't clip through someone when it is swung it either goes in front of the model, behind the model or next to the model.
I can only guess that they use some kind of system to sort the models against the camera viewpoint.
Because E:V uses a dynamic camera, I don't know if that makes it more difficult (or more cpu intensive) to do it.

It's technically possible to do, but with a dynamic camera it would definitely look very weird and unnatural. Because no matter how you turn or zoom they'll appear on top, it'll make it look as if the characters aren't really in the world.
The better solution would be foot IK i think, but I'm not sure we'll have time for it.
