Took me awhile to understand technically your the bad guy till act 6-7...less I be mistaken. You bring disorder by killing innocence and trying to kill Kitava.

Narrator is stunning!

No, look at 3:02

he is actually hitting the hammer with his head.

I preferred the characters intros... it spoke more about them than the high and mighty opinion of those who cast them out.

It's really good so far - haven't even gotten to the new content yet, but the game itself looks nicer, runs smoother (500 FPS and no load times), lots of improvements (big and small) - and the best part is I didn't see it coming (just checked steam last night and noticed the beta had literally just begun as soon as I checked). In Act IV now, will likely make some more clips when I get to see the new area.

That's not 'some old guy', that's Dominus.

@@RopeDrink Yeah, dead guy walking... *evil grin*

Well, he's the one who exiled them so yea...

I know that, but they could have done the intro with each character introducing themselves like the old intro with just a different background. I'm just saying it's cool they went a step further to make it different.

They were never good guys - they were all criminals, and still are. Scion is doing a model pose.

Sure they've never been good guys. But there is a difference when our witch tells how she killed villager's children, and when Dominus (who is a textbook example of a religious fanatic) states some vague accusations

Well seeing as so many people play PoE, it wouldn't be good having 20million characters running around with intricate, identical backgrounds. A bit of vagueness and mystery allows role-play. In the end, they're still all guilty of something.

Roleplay in APRG? That only goes as far as the name, don't fool yourself mate.

@Mihkel Majas Dunno, I myself love the story and theme of this game. I love them so much that I often find myself burned out on the gameplay just because the story made me keep going.

Not everyone misses them. I actually prefer the new one to be honest.

Because it's cringe to be called Shadow

Er, why? At this point in their lives they're weak as hell and completely unaccustomed to Wraeclast. As far as Dominus (narrator) is concerned, this motley crew of soon-to-be-exiled degenerates are nothing to him. It's up to us as the players to make him regret even leaving them alive.

"Er, why?" Because there's usually a reason you don't want prisoners- epsecially convicted and condemned ones- to have weapons in the courtroom. Precisely because of it. " At this point in their lives they're weak as hell -" By whose standards? Maybe the budding God Complex Dominius and the status of the crazy brutal Wraeclast wildlife, but essentially all of the player characters have proven to be quite formidable with their tools by this point. Especially if you go off of the prior bios, but even here. All of them have killed, whether normal humans or just critters. All of them have some skillsets that make them rugged outdoorsmen and fairly handy in combat, which more than half of the classes are experienced at. Heck, the Templar's backstory and experiences aren't very different from the dudes standing around with armor and spears in it, it's just that he's been branded a political outcast and stripped of his gear. "and completely unaccustomed to Wraeclast." Sure, but I don't think Dominius is having the kangaroo court in Wraeclast now is he? " As far as Dominus (narrator) is concerned, this motley crew of soon-to-be-exiled degenerates are nothing to him." Sure, but it is still a bit of a threat. Especially since this crew is unlike the people who get exiled for-say- keeping a disorderly home or inn, and they're all armed and experienced to some degree. And they are pretty formidable individually (maybe not for the level-assisted Templars and other troops the Oriathian government has at this point, but still capable of cleaning out a zombie infested beach individually), and a proven track record. Having all of them jammed into the same room with their weapons... Dominius is an egotistical megalomaniac and overconfident to a great degree, but he isn't nearly as reckless. "It's up to us as the players to make him regret even leaving them alive." Of course. Still get the feeling that there would be a better than zero chance that Dominius's boss fight could have ended a wholllee lot sooner if he really was this reckless.

The facts haven't changed. These 'criminals' are in the heart of the capital surrounded by a zealot army of fanatical Templars, being judged by someone we know to be extremely powerful by himself. The characters at this point are of no concern or threat to them.

"The facts haven't changed. " Agreed. "These 'criminals' are in the heart of the capital surrounded by a zealot army of fanatical Templars, being judged by someone we know to be extremely powerful by himself." Sure, but that doesn't change the matter of having people who according to Imperial doctrine are (and in some cases actually, really do qualify as) present in a court room with Dear Leader passing sentence while armed. Not a very good combination. "The characters at this point are of no concern or threat to them." Dominius thinks that, but as we've established before Dominius is not an objective observer. But mostly my comment was a tongue and cheek reference to how much rear end the PCs can kick even individually, let alone together.

Except you're speaking as if they've levelled up. Most of their crimes are pretty tame in the old intro (and some/most aren't repeated in the new). Poaching, a few murders, betraying fanatics etc. You discover LATER that they are very powerful, with most often expecting themselves to die on the beach after waking up but realizing their potential during Wraeclast. Here they're a bunch of nobodies that can be quite casually underestimated when they're essentially level 1 newblets with crap gear surrounded by a well armed and armoured army.

Just record it in-game (uncompressed) the way you want. Using someone's video from KZfaq is a lazy way of taking a quality-hit by compressing already compressed videos.

@@RopeDrink i just need the beggining of 5seconds that's all, since i dont have this anymore, i think i used to have it or new players see it

Sometimes you just can't beat a good ole slice of demon coated hypocrisy.

In your opinion. I prefer this 'Court' method - it gives more weight to the story and one of the villians, and gives more character-vagueness for the playable characters so that people can add their own story, the music is more noticeable and lively, and the overall environment is improved over the boat.

I like it more just because it adds to what I already knew through their ship intros. However, I do agree that's a pity to let the old intros go. Wish they were still in some way incorporated into the game.

Maybe their respective ship intro lines could be played in a short cinematic after you've chosen a character. For example a camera floating above the ship during a raging storm, and then it would go through the ship towards the holding area that was used before.

They're a good followup, but it's unfortunate that new players won't get to experience the classes explaining themselves. E: +Hamvair Yes, that'd be great!

Ship was good, but this is far better. Leaves mystery to the characters, and you get to see why you want to kill dominus in act 3.

Because it's not some pompous Templar. It's Dominus.
