What class did you guys go with? I chose Hospitaller.

So far, so good. Not much to complain about. Impressions will have to wait until I have more hours under my belt.

Bought the GOG Deluxe edition. As I doubted this was ever be released in a good state and judging by the reviews, I think I owed it to the devs (but they took their time, that's for sure).

First Hospitaller, then decided to change to Champion. More the Paladin-type I guess. First two hours have been delightful. Great storytelling, strong atmosphere and good dialogues so far.
But why is the game called Skald if there isn't a Skald-character (bard like) class?

Probably a Nordic thing.

Might something with the name will make sense later on.

I've got one too. Totally legit:

E6AL0-3AVL1-P1D0R
Give it to Krivol for fairness or hide it under spoiler, otherwise bots will use it instantly.


I've got plenty, here are some more:

BH34D-4LLZ3-N1GGZ
K1LL5-UMF4G-G0T5S
G4ZZT-H3K1K-3SN40
Dream Daddy and Bastard Bonds! Thx bro.

Sorry you didn't get "Coming Out On Top". Some co-dexer really skilled in ninjutsu claimed it before you.

So what are the backgrounds that the reinforcement pack adds and what do they add?

Backgrounds with different colors, more font styles, more customization, that's it. Nostalgia mode with classic UI / also dice animation.
It's basically a support the dev pack.
Base game = full game.

The pixel art is top notch.

It's good but I've seen some meh areas which can be improved (the hands for example
Skald-Against-The-Black-Priory-Screenshot-2024-05-30-21-50-14-75.png
Pirate hands look weird compared to Mercenaries hands
)
The nostalgia UI is Ultima 4's UI put into the game.
I played for 20 minutes and did not see time passing, time flies with this game.

Definitely going to buy this over the weekend, sale or not. Been waiting on this for years, going to be my next main game. A shorter , quality jaunt will be a blessing after the past few years of survival-crafting games that you have to no-life to make decent progress in. And the Ultima formula is still one of the best ever devised for crpgs.

Gaem gud so far. If it keeps the same quality throughout its run, there's something special here.

It's nice being optimistic for once.

:thumbsup:

What classes are you all playing?

I ran a pure mage. Most of the time I stood back and nuked with fire, or just worn down enemies with magic missiles.

Bought! Congrats on the release SkaldRPG. I know you probably won't see this, as you've long since fled this den of villainy, but I'm glad it sounds like this was worth the wait, and that it seems to already be a smashing success. You followed your dream and made it happen. Now get to work on a bigger and even better one!
