Anyone beat the Sundr Eyeless yet? Every time I get close she justs goes invisible, raises an enemy and teleports away.
>>334890847
nope just got to the start of chapter 3 and decided to take a break
playing as bolverk was way more fun than playing as alette because I tried to keep as many clansmen alive as I could and got absolutely shat on for it. The first game would occasionally stab you in the back for being kind hearted but it seems that this time around it is exclusively doing so.
So after getting mad at that it was pretty fun to play as the baddies for a while. Still though, I wish they had given us a dredge caravan.
Has anyone played with Rook yet? Alette is dealing with his death quite well but I'm guessing a Rook playthrough has him just devastated.
>>334891850
no idea, but I've found Alette to be acting almost nothing like she did in the first game, pretty disappointed in that regard
also I bought the soundtrack edition and its not in the steam music player, REEEEEEEEE
>>334891850
I'm playing with Rook and I just switched to the mercenary story. Rook took it pretty hard. You get dialogue options to be hostile to anyone who mentions her death
Anyone figure out how Tale Worth Telling works on the bard character? I can't figure it out. I get that it gives you a buff but I don't understand when it actually works (the turn you use it, after??)
>>334890847
Is it out yet. Remember having fun with the first one. Hows the second?
>>334893915
it came out today, find out for yourself
>>334890847
Just beat it. Probably one of the best storytelling games out there.
As for Eyeless, killing the enemy she raises reveals her, at which point you immediately go for her, chop her armor down, then take the killing blow.

track 6 is my favorite
>>334893807
It gives a single unit a strength bonus for every 2 strength it is weaker than an enemy unit.
So, if you use it on a unit with 2 strength, and then have that unit attack an enemy with 10 strength, you get a strength bonus of 5. IN the final training match as the Skogr caravan you have to get a 5 strength bonus from this.
Also, this game was amazing, but even shorter than the last one was for me. I had a playthrough of 7 hours, which I'm guessing is because I knew what I was doing. Got the quartermaster/morale achievements my first try, though I also noticed it seems a lot easier to get supplies and especially renown now because of the training matches.
Picture is spoilers.
>>334896335
Do you know if it's possible to beatBolverk at the very end? I got him down to 1/1, but he wouldn't go down.
>>334896790Yes, I did. It was a very anti-climantic fight. I killed him in about 4 turns.Zombie-snek revived him with his blood, though.
Picture is major spoilers.Do you know how to get the "Keep Your Wits" achievement? I think it might be gotten by staying "in-character" as Bolverk and not letting Bellower make you into a dredge loving faggot.
>>334897021
Forgot to spoiler image.
>>334896335
Seriously its only 7 hours? 2 years of development and its only 7 hours.
What a rip off.
>>334897159
That's why it's only twenty bucks, man.
Any tips on what characters I shouldn't bother upgrading? I know its a lot cheaper now to promote but I don't want a repeat of the first game where I spent a ton of points upgrading a character only to never use them again after the 2nd or 3rd chapter.
>>334897021Okay, weird. Because if you lose against him, Juno tells Eyvind to collapse the tower, he loses control and does so, and the same thing happens.
>>334897356
I actually didn't find that there were many characters this time around that weren't worth upgrading if you wanted to try using them. I kept mostly everyone alive, I only lostKrumrnear the end.
To my knowledge onlyNikelsdies in a scripted sequence.
>>334897382In my game Bolverk was defeated, and Juno was asking Iver to get Bellowers corpse so they could put it in the sea. Then Eyvind lost control anyway and the ending cutscene played.
Also,>yfw you realized who this was
>>334897356
It depends on who you like using in battles, and based on story choices. Personally I like a Varl vanguard with Iver, Hakon and Gunnulf, Gunnulf especially because I maxed him in the first game and gave him a +3 strength item. Then I go with Rook, and take the additional characters as needed. Usually Eyvind/Oddleif or Ludwin/Yrsa.
You get some totally new characters for the second perspective, though. If you're there already,I go with Ravens only. Bolverk, Folka, Oli, Sparr, then Sigbjorn and whoever the new guest hero is at the time.
>>334897272
my question is why was it delayed, it was supposed to come out last November
>>334897159
I think a lot of that dev time was spent porting BS1 to other platforms, hopefully 3 doesn't take as long
Don't want to get spoilered with the story. What did they made to change the combat, what additions to the first game's formula did they put?
>>334897930
The combat hasn't functionally changed, though there are more features to give it more depth, like barricades, talent-stats for characters past level 5 and a second special ability, new classes and enemy types.
>>334897907>not using Ekkill
ishygddt
>>334897930
The core mechanics remain the same, but a lot of battles don't end with all enemy deaths anymore. Some of them have infinitely respawning enemies until you kill a certain unit, and there's a particular one where you have to clear a ton of obstacles instead of killing anything.
The result is that the main problem with TBS1 is kind of "masked" in that the majority of time you don't need to kill every enemy.
>>334898094
also victory conditions in some battles other than just "kill everything" and the enemy types are mixed up a fair bit more, its not just dredge for 90% of the game like bs1.
FUCKING BEARS FUCK FUCKKK
>>334898221
Can I choose which ending I had in I?
I lost my saves from the first one
>>334898682
you can choose whether alette or rook survived yeah
>>334898682
Yeah, it lets you choosewhether you want to start with Alette or Rook in the beginning.
>tfw no bf
seriously though, why the fuck is Alette in charge and not Hakon or Ludin?
FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN FAEN
>>334899018
Hakon leads Varl, so he's got his own problems. Ludin isn't super interested in leading, and it's not his banner in any case.
Is it still made in Flash?
>>334899714
yeah
>>334897159
well they're only 3 guys
>>334890847
>Overwatch
where were you when Alette became the best unit in the game
>>334899990
>implying the best isn'tBolverk
Seriously. He can just decimate an entire field of enemies by himself.
>>334900189
so can Alette with Overwatch and an item that gives knockback on strength attacks over 3
>>334900303
Alette depends on the enemies moving. Bolverk just wrecks shit.
>>334900347
well they're gonna be moving towards her if she keeps knocking them back
>>334900303
her strength cap is really low
>>334900409
Wait, does that work? Can she get multiple overwatch shots in a row?
That's broken.
>>334900491
knockback stops their movement
so they have to move back into range on their next turn
only to get shot by Overwatch and knocked back again
>>334900634
So technically Alette could just spam overwatch in the middle of everything and not need any team-mates whatsoever except for ranged/stealthed enemies
Amazing
>>334900713
you need to blow 3 will a turn to make it work, so eventually you'll run out of steam, but just pack Eirik and Aleo and you're fine
>>334900713
with her low strength though i'm not sure its really as good as it sounds since you'll mostly only be doing 1 damage per attack
Remember that blue and yellow lies.
