I can only really echo the two guys above me; it's looking really, really good and I'm still massively looking forward to seeing it in action.

A fantastic conclusion, I've thoroughly enjoyed our glimpse into the Banner Saga's lore- and can only hope for more in the full game. Will we meet these characters or are they purely flavour for the...

I agree- the travelling caravan is a perfect thematic venue to introduce a variety of story relevant mini-games if Stoic so desired. I completely disagree with the assertion that a very good mini...

I'd completely forgotten about that and you're completely right!

I tend to agree with Tsuga C in principle and then hate the mini-games in practise. Think Fable or the Witcher: smithing, cards and brawling sound like immersion adds but the execution feels far too...

Intriguing as ever- and as ever next Monday now seems too far away! Looking forward to hearing a little more behind the weaving of the Banner Saga's magic- the mechanics behind that sort of thing,...

By that logic any sort of combat scenario would be unbearable too- I'd much rather craft an item in real life than be walloped by a Varl ;)

If only we could see him tomorrow too! This whole intro is painting the Varl completely differently to how I'd imagined- eagerly looking forward to part 3.

I thought the 4th one was mean to be the kart racing spin off?

It's nice to finally put a character to some of the artwork! It's strange that we know so little about the game- yet the revelation that we're looking at a Varl still comes wih the feeling of an...

The duck people are my nemesis- they look so innocent and then they wipe out half my raiding party without me gaining any cattle. A small mercy for the warriors, everyone else starvesto death by the...

All this gushing over orchestral schores and none of us have mentioned the best game soundtrack to date- if the Banner Saga can come even close to Beyond Good and Evil in my eyes then I'll listen to...

Say what you like about Skyrim's overall music- but they really succeeded in hitting a powerful and memorable main theme. When I first heard that in the trailers it really brought excitement as to...

Are you familiar with tactical rpgs? Nothing I've seen so far gives the impression that the Banner Saga's combat will be out of the usual TRPG scale (parties of usually less than 10 vs 10).

There...

And I'll believe it when I see it. I don't really see the harm in the pc Republique per say- but time will show where the post- kickstarter development time goes (ios, pc what sort of split?)

And...

This sums up my current interests alongside Max Payne 3. My PC wouldn't like Diablo 3 so I suspect it'll be an upcoming month or so to catch up on my backlog.

I can only imagine you're not supposed to- which is fine by me under certain conditions. Leave the games of the 80's, 90's and 00's and their respective control schemes in their respective decades....

While my pc's no longer really up to a gaming standard I'll still try pretty much anything across any of the current active platforms. I game most on the PS3 with rpgs filling the gap I used to fill...

I'm hoping it's this lack of user activation that gets me to finally finish a TRPG. Much as I enjoyed titles like Tactics Ogre the ability to sit and regrind through past battles tends to grab me and...

The fiance rented thor for us tonight 'because you're in a viking mood at the moment'- and if the entire thing isn't perfect for the 'totally random thread' I don't know what it takes to qualify. My...

If that's the case I'll almost certainly never see the Banner Saga's ending. It'll be Oregon Trail all over again, my wagon's axle will break and my army will all die of dysentery. (I blame everyone...

Well, we'll all see the Stoic style for ourselves come Summer's multi-player release- given that combat's turn based I can't really see the animation portraying overly realistic battles but I'd be...

I take it you've not seen the race of giants, the mage calling down lightning, the centaurs or the foreboding looking 'baddies' in oversized black plate then? ...

I know the dev team have already...

That depends upon the game's logic when handling your decisions: deciding to fight, for example, may lead to a tree branch- or it may lead to a behind the scenes dice roll with a variable loss of...

If you can pledge to making one or two of these updates a month I can pledge to trying to understand more than 40 percent of the next one.

Thanks for the updates- as ever it's nice to see such...
