As you progress you can break thralls to your will who will guard your possessions in your absence, though they too can be destroyed.
That is lots of fun exploring the Exiled Lands together, though you need to note that the same danger still exists of losing everything when you stop playing. Where it does make up for that is playing in co op mode with a mate. The problem is that at times it works you to the point that it’s not fun anymore. Don’t expect any easy fast results the game wants you to work for everything. The payoffs are immense, especially as you level up but just be aware you are going to have to make everything initially until you are powerful enough to take what you want from others if you choose to go that route.Ĭontinuing on with the crafting here, sorry I can’t help myself to give you an idea of what to expect: you won’t just make armour, you have to also make the straps for it, and the lining for it before you can make the armour itself. Survival is key here and crafting is a must, to the point it becomes a grind as there is just so much to do. The landscapes are harsh and look perfect, as do the characters you will come across in the game, both players and non player creatures. Graphically the game shines, especially for a title of this nature. I must confess I found it more than frustrating to wake up, log on and find the things I had crafted and built all smashed and anything of value taken. This is a persistent online world where things take place even when you are not playing and all the hard work you put into actually making something can be discovered and destroyed by other parties wanting it for themselves. That’s where Exiles is blessed and cursed. It is at this point that you can do character customisation to your barbarian before you are rescued by Conan himself in a brief cameo where he will prattle on about just how tough life is. The title opens with the brutality that you would pretty much expect from it, with your character being nailed to a cross in the middle of the Exiled Lands to die. In his grim, terrifying world of blood and death, Conan conquered all, and now it is your turn to attempt to stand supreme or die in the process.įor those with no knowledge of the game this is open world MMO time (massive multiplayer online), and you will really need to consider just how much interaction you actually want from other players as they can make or break your game quite literally! Conan, the creation of author Robert Howard has long been the standard to which all barbarian tales are told.
