Why the hell is there a centaur in the concept art ? I replayed it, with different choices, and definitely didn't run across one of this.

I also find it's a shame that you're not given a rating with the number of villagers you save. You can "kill off" all the ones in the beginning, and they just won't care.

I would expect because game only contains part of the whole story, expect centaurs in future game in series

Backed this on kickstarter, very cool game. I made it to the last boss and kept failing on the second phase though. I manage to take down all his armor, but by then at least one of my main tanks and/or dmg dealers is down. I have to replay it from the start cause I made some bad choices. Focused on the wrong skills and leveled up the wrong people. It's by far the most difficult fight in the game, tailoring your team specifically for it from the start won't make the rest of the game that much harder I think.

Yeah I didn't lose a single time until the boss at the end, then I died a few times. The last patch notes say they made the last fight easier

Do you guys know if they will make any DLC or expansions? I mean, looking at the map there are huge chunks that you never go to, and the whole mystery behind the Darkness from the North is something I wanna know about haha.

No kidding. I just love playing with the range, and... well... second part just became difficult suddenly.
Still, gives you a good feeling when you defeat it. Some items that you can get freely on the way during the campaign really help too.


Eagerly waiting for the follow-up. All games with dragons are good games. (doesn't count as a spoiler, right ?)

If you click on the plains in the southernmost parts of the map it describes a race of centaurs that saw the mountains and snow and decided to return back south to the open plains.

There's only text, no pictures though, am i wrong ?
Still, definitely lore there, indeed. Thanks for that information.

No, I don't think they were ever shown, but possibly in a sequel ;)

nobody else thinks this could have been 3 times better with actual animation and voiceovers in the cutscenes?

Personally if I want to read dialogue there is much better books out there.

Haven't tried it, looks good. People who comment on graphics over gameplay are offputting to me.

There is an official multiplayer add-on now. Thats what I would call it anyway. I'm downloading now. Will get back and report.
EDIT: Pretty good, feels like chess. I had about 1:1 w/l ration so it's pretty clear I'm no master of board gmaes

1:1 w/l isn't bad either.
