The Banner Saga [v 2.55.47] (2014) CODEX

DESCRIPTION:
The Banner Saga is an epic role-playing game inspired by the legends of the Vikings. Drawing graphics creates frightening landscapes that drown in the eternal twilight. Cities and villages crumble. Heroes leave the comfort of the home and go on a journey through the snow-covered terrain, meeting on their way allies in the battle against a new, unusual threat. The Banner Saga is a beautifully painted tactical RPG about the Vikings created by former BioWare employees who once worked on Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Features:
Tie may not impress the originality, but it's not in it. On its basis, the writers managed to build a truly epic story of doomed peoples. In the first part, you played for Hakon, traveling with his caravan of warles to the east under a yellow banner, and for the hunter Ruk, leading people to the west under the red banner. In the second part, the plot is also divided into two lines of narrative, replacing each other - and again these are the lines of warla and man, their names are already a small spoiler for the first game, so let's dwell on this. I will only say that there are two heroes of the human line to choose from - one of them you survived in the first game, that's why you are playing. The personality of the hero greatly changes the dialogue in the game, so you can not admire the work done by the writers.
As the game progresses, you will have to make heavy decisions and make choices. Differences of the saga is that Stoic has finally done what many RPGs promise us - the plot choice that really affects the game.
Whether the child was born or there was a loss of supplies - you as the leader of your caravan are obligated to decide what to do. Stop and celebrate the birth of a new life in order to raise the morale of people at the cost of time and supplies or go on? Understand the theft of food or entrust it to someone else?
Each of your decisions has consequences, but more importantly, the choice is not obvious. In other games, the options are usually rolled to polite or rude, altruistic or ruthless, risky and safe (hi, FTL), here it is difficult to divide them into some specific binary categories - and that's fine. Not only does this make the choice more interesting, it also greatly helps immersion in the world. When because of your kind of good intentions a lot of people die because you did not calculate the risk of your actions - it makes an impression.
