![]() ![]() Andriel is a mage, but she can wield two swords at once and level up in melee attacks, supportive magic or offensive magic. He can also be leveled up to be the tank or the damage dealer of the party. Farin is an expert with melee weapons but can use ranged weapons and can be leveled up to use such. He can be leveled up however to be an expert with two-handed weapons, dual wielding, weapons and shields (tank), or the bow. For example, Eradan is a Ranger and thus excels with the bow and sword but lacks the strength of Farin. You can then improve your stats (strength, will, stamina, dexterity), and use skill points to receive or upgrade special abilities. You gain experience when killing enemies, and when you get enough experience, you gain a new level. Each character has different classes from one another, but each character's class is adaptable. The War in The North features three playable protagonists. Characters from the books can also be encountered to appear in the game, such as the Ranger Halbarad, Radagast, and Elrond's sons Elrohir and Elladan. Players can explore Bree and Rivendell and interact with the characters there which include Gandalf, Elrond, Frodo, Bilbo, Legolas, Arwen and Aragorn. Locations from the movies also appear in the game. Confirmed locations include the Ettenmoors,įornost, Mirkwood and Mount Gundabad. Many locations that are not featured in the movies are in the game. The gameplay also relies upon the player working with friends (or with AI companions) to use tactics to defeat certain enemies. The dialogue will normally present a few choices where the player can get just the facts, delve deeper into the lore or get optional side quests. You can replay through the game and keep all your equipment and skills from the previous playthrough. The game also features unlockable difficulty modes such as a nightmare difficulty. The dwarf, for example, can mine for gems which can be used for crafting purposes, and he can also smash walls down where hidden treasure can be found. Hubs are towns or villages.Įach class also has a unique ability. There are hubs in the game which functioning as resting points for the party where they accept new quests, speak with people, or obtain new supplies. Players can also issue orders to their AI companions if they are playing solo. All characters have light and heavy attacks, and can roll, block and counter enemy attacks. Eradan, a human ranger, wields a bow, and Andriel, an elf lore-master, can cast ranged spells at enemies. I am also the type of gamer who can look past a few minor glitches for a good game.Players have customizable characters, upgradeable skills, and engage in dialogue.įarin, a dwarf champion, has a crossbow. It sounds completely different than what early info about the game led me to believe, so I am waiting.Īlso, I have heard there are a few games with glitches, but I merely meant I haven't run into any yet (except Fallout and that Brotherhood trophy glitch) of the 130 games I have played so far in the last year and a half. He also said that, though the option is there to go in guns blazing and kill everyone, you better make sure you are very well prepared for it, because the enemies will be relentless. I am terrible at stealth and hate games that punish you for not being stealthy enough. In recent interviews, the creative director at Arkane said the stealth in the game plays out like the Thief series and the older Splinter Cell games. I am actually waiting on it for a completely different reason. It is actually being developed by Arkane Studios, so it shouldn't be too bad. ![]() ![]() Bethesda is only handling the publishing of the game. It kinda looks like the Flash invaded the Capital Wasteland.ĭishonored shouldn't be too bad, though. Sometimes, my PS3 will lock up, or I will get this odd effect where textures stretch. I never played Elder Scrolls on PS3 (no trophies for Oblivion and had 360 until last month), but I have played both Fallout games and the only glitches I have noticed only happen during long play sessions. ![]()
