The video shows the second Assassins Guild's quest, the game flow, a night map, fire particles for the easily amused, the PC fighting with allies (just because you don't have an entourage of emotionally scarred people with troubled past doesn't mean you have to save the world all by your awesome self), and an optional third-person view.



Btw, see that alchemist guy with a crossbow? If you keep him alive, he'll give you something nice, which will increase your chances of staying alive in the third Assassins Guild's quest from 5% to 12.7%. Just sayin'.



Anyway, hope you like it.





PS. Some high-res screens for you:

I wish you had slowed down the video more during the dialogue, so I didn't have to pause to read what people are saying. Also, while this video shows off the impressive graphics, I wish you had chosen a different quest that had more choices. Logged

For example, there are several choices in this quest but they are barely visible in the video. The most important choice is killing your partner instead of killing the Imperial Guards' commander, in which case the quest would take a very different direction. Another choice is using a disguise option instead of fleeing through the window.

(click to show/hide) This quest has quite a bit of choices. A big choice is killing your partner, and joining the Imperial Guards or just getting a monetary reward for the deed. If you join, that leads to a fight with your former companions, with a couple of options in how to handle the fight.



Another choice comes up after killing Carrinas, you can escape through the window, or bluff your way out. The difficulty depends on whether or not you asked for information about the merchant renting the room. After that, you have the option to go to Carrinas room, and you can try sneak killing the soldier there, which will reward you with some impressive loot, and will also make the final fight easier once you get back to the guild. You can check the spoilers for more info about those choices. Logged "Hasta la victoria, siempre."

A narrated video might be a good choice there, I remember CD project did some nice ones for the witcher!





"It's coming"

Yah, but you didn't say thursday. Gotcha!



Cool video, but some of the dialog screens go too fast. Game looks nice, I must say. Some new animations, also I think? Net throwing looks excellent now. Good work Oscar and Ivan, you are a credit to the guild!

Edit: How many times, on average, will I be fighting bigger battles like this one (i.e. not alone)?
