Game News Expeditions: Viking Released

[jaydee2k]

Where is the gog version?!

 

[veevoir]

So Avonaeon ,three quick questions on skills:

- Execute has a bit ambiguous wording "Marks the target for killing blow next turn, which will instantly dismember them if deals any damage".. So basically I have to mark in turn 1 and then land unblocked hit on the enemy in turn 2? Do I need to hit the fellow with the same character that did the marking?

- When dual wielding (let's say axes) and using a basic attack - is the damage same as if I used axe&shield or is there some inherent bonus for dual wielding? If yes - Is it dependent on what is the second weapon or is there no difference (e.g. 2x axe and axe main knife off-hand basic attack is the same)?

- Backstabber skill - does it work with all weapons? Not exacty in description, but the idea of harrowing someone with a free action rock throw and then backstab to face with Dane Axe seems nasty.


Thanks!

Not a huge fan of the "let's place loot everywhere" thing. No, you don't have to collect it all but...

Not a big fan either. It even breaks immershun because it's kinda out of context - you're the chieftain of a clan and need to run around colleting garbage like a trashman. Would make sense if it was treasure looting when pillaging some village after a raid, but the way it's implemented makes only for a boring timesink.

I may be a retard here but can I rest somewhere in town or do I have to do it via camping in the wild?

 

[Sensuki]

Lol, you can still avoid the fighting in occupied campsites by loading the campsite save, as in the beta.

Dont you miss xp though?

 

[hivemind]

yeah the constant looting is extremely retarded

and it#s not like your OCD you can just ignore it because you seem to be reasonably tight on materials for weapon and homestead crafting

 

[Neanderthal]

Up on GOG now by looks on it.

Camping in the Wild, you couldn't rest in town in Conquistador either although I think they added a paid healing service in a patch.

 

[Junmarko]

Now THAT is how you do difficulty options

 

[Imperialist]

That's a new level of custom

 

[Sensuki]

Same as Conquistador I think

 

[hivemind]

tbh game seems like it would be complete snooze fest in combat at any lower setting

 

[Jrpgfan]

Didn't realize the hardest difficulty is set as the default option.

 

[ArchAngel]

Is there also an ironman mode? If not, this difficulty means little.

 

[Urthor]

I'm sad and disappointed

Spoiler

you can't sacrifice your campions you Godi like all good RPGs. Only options I can find is sacrificing 3 thralls or betraying him

 

[MRY]

From Steamcharts, looks like a good launch -- already at twice the max players Conquistador had, and I expect it'll hit its peak tomorrow somewhere even higher.

Whenever I play one of these looting simulator games or games with similar mechanics I wonder to myself. Why can't I tell one of many party members to go do that busy work for me. Whens the martial arts tournament expansion coming out? Where you have to travel to china to learn kung fu, russia to learn samba from russian bears (they were less recluse back then). Prowess in battle and in the bedroom from a visiting African KANG in france who would later be known as the great grandfather of mozart and da vinci.

 

[SmartCheetah]

Very entertaining game. Running around and collecting loot gets old pretty quick, but noone forces us to do that so I have nothing against it. Combat is a little bit too easy, but other then that - game sucked me in for a few hours. Not many games these days are able to do that.

 

[Tom Baker's Arse]

Not a d1p for me as I have other gameplay going on right now. Eventually will get around to this one probably on a Steam sale. Have the free deluxe edition upgrade so am all set. Am curious as to how well the more well-known / bigger reviewers will treat this title ...

 

[aratuk]

Bought on GOG. Might try to run it in a Wineskin later, so I won't have to fire up the ol' Windows partition. Fucker's gonna be screaming for its updates.

 

[skyst]

I'm in the middle of an expert ironman Battle Brothers game but want to Viking. In the future we will look back on these days fondly.

Ribe is a OCD nightmare.

Ribe is a OCD nightmare.

Any looting is an OCD nightmare due to the clunky UI. Spending 10 seconds trying to mouse over that damn plant so that it finally highlights for picking up is infuriating.
