That won't take the varl down anytime soon, but it does mean that his Strength attacks are doing 1 less damage now. Shieldbangers have very good Armor - the chieftain hits for a paltry 1 damage. Whoever has fewer warriors on the field gets more actions per unit. Note how it's alternating us and them - that will (almost) always be true. Next is the chieftain in red - the row of portraits on the bottom indicates the turn order. This raider has 5 Strength and 4 Armor, and I have 9 Strength, so I can kill him with a single Strength attack. It can be used to move farther or hit harder.Д®xertion is the limit on how much Willpower you can spend on a single move or action.ДЄbility Rank is how powerful your special ability is. Willpower is your reserve of inner strength that allows you to push past your usual limits. You can't kill anyone with Break attacks. If you attack Armor, then the damage you inflict is equal to your Break, but the damage is applied to their Armor, so their Strength is not reduced. If you attack Strength, the damage you inflict is equal to your Strength, minus the enemy's remaining Armor.Д«reak is how good you are at breaking through enemy Armor. Every time you attack an enemy, you can choose to attack their Strength or their Armor. When your Strength is reduced to 0, you're down for the fight.ДЄrmor is your resistance to enemy attacks. Strength plays the role of both attack power and health. This is a good time to talk about the game's stats! Also note that the edge of his movement range is highlighted in gold - more on that in a bit. On his turn, he can move, then take an action.Д«ecause he's a varl, he takes up four spaces, whereas humans only take up one. I'll be skipping most of them to explain the battle system as I go.ДЇirst up is our Shieldbanger. The game begins with our first battle! This is the tutorial, so expect a lot of informational boxes. Inside, everything is chaos - a chieftain in red threatens the governor, his men cutting down the guards.Д«efore he can cut the governor down, though, the doors are smashed open, and the varl make their presence known the only way they care for: We will rest here this day and inquire further when we speak to the governor.'ДЄs the varl ride into town, a human approaches the caravan, shouting something in a foreign language. Perhaps he is eager as I to be done here. 'We have been warned by stranded travelers about brigands on the path through Ridgehorn, our road home.

I am not quick to superstition, but I myself will be glad to be done with this year's rounds.' Some of the men in the caravan have taken it as a dire open. 'Several days ago, the sun simply came to a stop in the sky, though during these long winter days, none of us can be certain how long it has been this way. The first signs of snowfall accost us on our approach to Strand, largest of the trade cities on the varl-human borders, and our last collection before returning to the capital.' 'It has been several long months on the road.

What follows will always be a summary of what happened in the video. Video links in this LP are all highly encouraged, but not required. Quinn2win fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Aug 29, 2014

If you already know the outcome of a particular decision, either by reading spoilers or playing yourself, don't vote on it.

As with my previous LP, any vote accompanied by related fanart you drew yourself counts double.

These will always be on a 24-hour timer, so that I have time to put the update together.

I'll be glossing over the simple choices, but leaving the more important ones - plus some decisions about how we manage our caravan - to a thread vote.

There are a lot of choices in this game, some trivial and some crucial to how events play out.

Not even hinting smugly at events yet to come. If I'm feeling good about my pace, or if I have to do a smaller update, I may increase the pace.

It's a bit slower than my usual pace, but there's a lot going on in this game (and I may occasionally have to redo a battle multiple times to get past it), so I'm aiming low. I'm going to try to update every Monday and Thursday.Almost all of the game's art is hand-drawn frame by frame, and the music is by Austin Wintory, the genius behind the soundtrack of the 2012 game Journey. Survive through battle, tenacity and difficult decisions in a world inspired by Norse Mythology while being beset by traitors, monsters and starvation. The Banner Saga is a strategy game that was Kickstarted nearly two years ago, and finally saw its release at the beginning of 2014.
