Hey fextra, you said you voiced lancelot? Why is lancelot mute in the game? I've been waiting to encounter him as a christian-tyrant to hear you. Unfortunately he doesn't have a voice.

meh.. this genre gets old quick, and sometimes these drag on too long (pathfinder, wrath of righteous was so damn long though that's a crpg). this looks good but we need a good new arpg, been too long, they take years to make though.

Exactly! I remember a time when I had given up hope on the market providing TBS games. Every other game released was another RTS crap game. Even Battletech (back then originally). You could never plan deep multi unit strategies and tactics. JA2 was the absolute peak of this gameplay and has never been equaled since. Divinity games came closest though. I love the variety of everything we have today, its just hard to keep track of so much content.

@@gunhojput Very good point but even youunger I grew up with games like Battletech and Risk, etc so I love being able to plan tactics and grand strategy and you just can't do that with RTS... its 90% about how fast you can Micro / Multitask and be quick about it. I do love They Are Bilions though because that you can pause at least.

But I'm so desperate to play a game that can grab me like Dragon Age Origins did way back then, that I find myself buying these sort of games anyway at release. I don't want to see the guy with the sickle without at least trying to finish another great rpg. Hopefully this game will be one I actually finish.

Your voice acting feels really out of place. Clicking around from knight to knight rasping "I serve the lord" in a low tone is fine but then Lancelot belts out "FOR KING AND COUNTRYYYYY" and I fall out of my gaming chair. Seriously they should do more with characters like Lancelot and Gawain. Amazing game though, sleeper hit of the year.

People are starving for authenticity and integrity in a time of advertising, approved narratives, and social justice clout chasing.

Questions not answered in this : 1. Are the maps procedual or always the same? 2. Are the units you fight always the same in the play through? Or is every time different? 3. What happens when a team member dies and you have to replace them? 4. Can you get more members if one dies? 5. Can you lose all your men? 6. Is this a procedudual story or is there a end? 7 If a member dies in Combat can you get the gear off them or is it gone forever? 8. Is every play through the same? ie. Same story events, Same mobs in same location etc.

@Fextralife 2 жыл бұрын

1. Always the same 2. You choose the units you use each mission and you unlock different ones depending on the decisions you make through out the game 3. They are permanently dead and you fill in with another knight from your roster 4. Yes 5. Yes 6. There is an end 7. Gone forever 8. The story is the same, but the missions you choose to do are up to you.

Any word on why the file size is so huge? Multiple Steam reviews point out that it takes up 121 gigs and that just seems like way too much. Did they not compress any of the files?

@pbjandahighfive 2 жыл бұрын

It's because the devs are lazy and didn't compress anything. An independent modder has already reported that they've been able to reduce the install size to about 35GB by doing basic compression to the files. What a fkn joke though. I'm personally passing on this. I refuse to support any company that shows such blatant disrespect and disregard for the player like this.
