Greetings fellow players.
I recently finished the Gods of Asgard quest saga and now I'm getting ready to continue with the main story development that I had left momentarily postponed. I also intend to participate in the weekly contest, so while I show you my progress in the game, I will also share some Cinematic Shots.
After completing the quests of the Nordic saga, the first thing I did was to interact with Valka, the seer, and Hytham, Basim's disciple. I did this with the aim of updating the pending quests and, incidentally, to make two screenshots in the middle of the game's cinematics.
Once I knew the place to which I had to go, I began the journey. This trip was by saddle, since it was in a place I had not visited and had no synchronization point nearby. Along the way I found a wasteland that could well be part of the scenery of a horror movie.
Before reaching the settlement, I made a stop at some ruins thinking I could make some Indiana Jones movie style captures. Unfortunately, there was only a well with a chest inside and, disappointed, I continued on my way. Just in case, I leave you evidence of the place.
Once I arrived at the settlement, I was greeted by one of the Viking leaders with a hearty handshake in true brothers-in-arms style. He then escorted me to where the leaders of both armies are in the center of the settlement.
I say leaders because, as you may notice in these horrible screenshots, the Saxon and Viking banners were waving together. Not knowing what was going on, a single thought crossed my mind: it would be great if a small disagreement would spark a pitched battle now that we are all together.
What do you think? It happened just as I had thought and, after a discussion, both armies began to confront each other. From that confrontation I obtained two incredible captures that show the brutality of the battles at that time.
After so much slaughter, the Viking army rested right in the ruins I had visited before arriving at the settlement. There, Guthrum, leader of the Vikings, asked me for help to free some captured comrades, in order to increase the size of the army and attack a fortress.
During this mission I was able to take some screenshots where you can perfectly see the brutality of the executions with the sword. These executions are well done and give a touch more realism to the fights. At least this is my personal opinion.
After freeing the prisoners, I had to flee the area, as the guards had called for reinforcements because I was not using stealth. And for those who think it was just a walk, I would like to say that it was not. Even I was surprised at how far we had to walk before we could talk. A bug? I guess we'll never know.
In the end, the chain of missions had only just begun, as I had to go to the place where I learned that a great friend had recently fallen in combat. But that's another story that I will share with you soon. For now, I hope you enjoyed my selection of cinematic captures.
