The Skelmar Invasion.

[Dr.Rabies]

Is it going to be dynamic conflict like The Skelmar also can invade the towns and fortresses we liberated? or you liberate baronies one by one and that's it?

First of all I'm excited for new content and I'm totally buying this, just as I've bought the other dlcs, although I haven't even progressed far enough for the pirate stuff or the arena yet.

But at the same time, I also feel like, isn't this just a new map with its own self-contained mechanics?? Unless we get like a new class or specializations or weapons or some such, I can't help but feel like it's just another map.

Don't get me wrong, I like more new content. But something more game-changing would be more appreciated, I guess.

Crossbowman class confirmed free for everyone when this DLC drops on the 10th

Oh nice...

Oh, I’m just here for the violence. My four-men squad could sure use some good old mano-a-mano fights.

As someone who eschews the damage over time and status effects and prefers rough damage and grit instead, I did have my fair share of challenge in the Pits DLC. Here’s hoping I get to skillfully smash some barbarian skulls and invade their lands instead!

That's great but it's a ''sandbox'' game after all, so they should give us dynamic gaming mechanics to experience the sandbox freedom because it's not labeled on steam as ''linear dungeons leveling'' game.. In the new announcement they mentioned nothing about how the game play is going to be.

I kinda wish we could side with the Skelmar bad guys. We're not heroes, we're mercenaries. Go where the coin is.

But yeah, I'll be buying it as well.

I got the feeling from the preview that the Skelmar aren't interested in giving gold to anyone else XD The seem like the sorts more likely to try and kill you and strip your corpses than offer you a job.

Then again, every region except Belerion *does* let you pick sides. So, 100% of base game regions allow choice. But 100% of DLC regions (so far) do not. Guess we'll see =D

I know it'll be a year (*at least*) before we get another big DLC, but I'm sort of hoping we can sail to the Skelmar homeland and help them overcome whatever horror has driven them to unite and flee their homeland.

[[G.W.] Sunbro Greg]

Or “help” them by becoming this horror and driving them… (dramatic pause)… into their graves.

Lvl 14 plz!!

It would be great if it was dynamic, or if you could build your own fortress to defend against the invaders! I would love to "design" my own battle map :-)

[pony1970]

Your own fortress would be great and knowing your kill count per mercenary would be great too

Lifetime stats are a must.

[Ghost1]

Hopefully they'll drop more specifics soon.

[[G.W.] Sunbro Greg]
