How's the story?

[Cyberdyne Systems]

Is the story any good, is it voice acted and how long does it last roughly?

Cheers.

I do not know about other people, but for me the story is not where the game shines at its brightest. So far it is rather boring.

[Cyberdyne Systems]

Yeh I figured it wasn't the main point of the game. Is it more just like a long winded tutorial?

Over all I found the story okay however there some aspects that should be improved.
like that some story decisions are expected regardless of what you Do.

As an example when you select your wife the quest to celebrate the occasion starts.
Go to Gostovia to get some wine. As Racimir I went thinking I'd get several bottles to bring back to share with my new wife. Wrong Being forced to drink 6? bottles there and watch the alcohol poisoning build up felt wrong ... and Not fun. As Racimir I then used a potion of Sobriety and lots of herbs to totally cure the Alcohol poisoning.

As the Heir on getting married that quest appeared and I had 2 options to get the wine to celebrate or to say "I don't have time to Celebrate" So Didn't go and drink.

However in dialogue with both wives afterwards, they will say that you came home and were sick. So the consequences don't match what the story excepts.

I personally liked the story, though it's not the main focus of the game and is rather short. It's meant to give a bit of flavour to the background of your character I guess. You would rush through it very quickly if it wasn't for the fact that it sends you all over the map so there's lot of running involved.

It's not voice acted.

About the story.
Racimir mentioned that he is an older sun. But I don't remember any mentions in the game about his siblings.
Is there any?

It's nice to do once and learn about Racimir's uncle, the guy who was suppose to help you out in the valley and what became of him.

Just don't rush you have 18 years to get it done, it will save you a lot of running around all over the map on foot if you wait till you get your village established enough for you own a horse, usually takes me 5 years to reach that point, then it takes a couple years to do the story.

But after you have done it once you will reach a point where you have plenty of time to spare so you end up doing it again.

The story is mildly interesting, enough to keep propelling you through the quest lines, but mostly forgettable

I dont remember having to drink 6 bottles for the celebration of the wedding.

I always assumed they had died together with his parents. But y, a bit strange that his father pushed him away and told him to run, but nothing about the other children.

I see. So the real reason to play is for the building, crafting and survival parts of the game. I'm actually not into that stuff so was hoping it'd have a good story to keep me interested. It's a shame for me because it's very visually appealing!

Thanks for all of your replies though ;)

You should probably check out Kingdome Come Deliverance if you haven't already. I think that one will be more up your alley!

Yes I love KCD! I've played through the whole game and all the DLCs - I wish there was more.. This is what attracted me to Medieval Dynasty because it has a very similar look to it.

I've played the Elder Scrolls games, all the Witcher games, Dragon's Dogma and many others.. I'm on a bit of a hunt for a game in a medieval setting with nice forests and castles etc. The problem is that a lot of them have some weird cartoony look or are too high fantasy. I prefer when they're a bit more believable. After playing through Elden Ring recently, I'm avoiding the souls-like games because I need a break from that kind of punishment haha. If only I enjoyed the crafting/survival stuff but I just cannot..

Did you play Enderal Forgotten dreams ... it's a free game if you own Skyrim with versions for the classic version as well as the special edition. It needs the skyrim engine which is why Skyrim is a requirement ... but it's totally it's own game.

Personally I think it's better than Skyrim and harder to play .. till you learn all the different systems with a dark and maybe slightly disturbing back story made by the SureAI small dev team. Who also have made games that linked to Morrowind and Oblivion engines in the same world For Arkwendt and Nehrim

Anyway just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did actually install that game/mod a while back but I didn't play it for long at all so I'm going to have to look it up again! I'm patiently waiting for Skywind & Skyblivion. I never played Morrowind so I think it'll be a good way to experience it and I never finished the story in Oblivion even though I put more hours into it than I'd care to mention haha..

Cheers.

Excellent suggestion. Enderal is far better than Skyrim was. Even before they released it on Steam, it was an amazing mod, and the devs were very passionate about it. Always kept it working.
