The team at Daedalic Entertainment will be releasing a series of five different video guides for their turn-based RPG Blackguards over the coming days and weeks, and the first such video guide, covering the game's character classes and progression, was made available today. Rather than waste anymore of your time with a lead-up, I'll jump right to it:
And here's a little background information to share along with it:
The Dark Eye is Europe's most successful pen-and-paper system and has constantly expanded since its first appearance 30 years ago. For Blackguards, the world not only provides the continent of Aventuria and an environment with depth to it; Daedalic's developers also faced challenges in form of a complex set of rules that needed to be implemented as true to the original as possible, yet still kept simple enough to be welcoming for players completely new to the Dark Eye's world.
The Dark Eye's rules are particularly recognizable when it comes to Blackguards' level-up system and character development. Instead of classic level-ups, each battle rewards Adventure Points that can be spent to increase attributes like agility or courage, but also various spells or skills at any time. This way, developing a custom character from the base-classes becomes a very dynamic process. As Daedalic Entertainment recently announced, free character customization right from the beginning will also be implemented upon the game's release, due to the feedback during the Early Access phase.
