Vikings: BFA

Yup. I'm nearly finished the first chapter and i've enjoyed it so far. In my opinion its like a cross between CONAN and FABLE. Nice and bloody with a fairly simple control scheme like CONAN and the world you explore reminds me of FABLE only not as linear. As i said i'm just finishing the first chapter and it was fairly big. I can only assume that the later levels will be larger and more difficult. It has been pretty easy up to this point. If you do decide to play it, keep in mind that vikings cant swim! smokeyf

That's a pretty good comparison. I kinda thought that the world looked similiar to World of Wacraft, in terms of how colourful it is (when it's not raining). It's definitely a fun game and in my opinion worth the money. Just keep in mind that it is a hack-n-slash game and with that in mind you'll have fun and enjoy it.

Brilliant Game - though i am stuck on a bit, (quite early in got the game today), and need help (ish) :p.RaseshX

Trust me, it only gets worse. That's one problem some people will have with the game, it doesn't hold your hand like most games do! It makes it more challenging though, I think.

****SPOILER ALERT****SPOILER ALERT****I don't want to ruin it for you, but here's how get into Darkwater unnoticed:

On the fence on backside of Darkwater, facing the beach, you'll see a blanket draped over the fence. Climb up on that and jump down. Then move to your left along the wall. you'll have to stealth kill about 5-8 guys on your way. Once you get up on the top of the wall, where the archers are, SNEAK PAST THEM! Fight all temptations you have to pick them of. They are in groups of 3, so after the first one is down, the rest of Darkwater will soon swarm you. Once you make it past the archers, jump down and you'll see the red glowing circle where you need to charge the amulet. Tap B quickly. Once done turn around to where you just jumped down from and you'll see a pile of crates. Climb up those and make a break for the runestone off in the distance. Teleport to the ancient ruins and summon the dragon.

Yeah that's what i do! I climb over that green towel thing but when i get over there is aman, i stealth kill him and carry on to my left , and then all the Legions on the village things come and attack me (the ones who are eating the food). And I just instantly die.RaseshX

That's weird. I made it on my second attempt. :?

If you think about it, how far off of a hack n slash was Fable? The fighting aspect anyways. I was more comparing it to Fable in regards to the environment, graphics, characters and artistic view. The Conan relation has to do with the combo's, quick button prompts and bloody slo-motion.
