I would like to start a new discussion here. About the books so far. In the thread about orc race mechanic it was mentioned that the orc book is the weakest book so far. Tho I agree gameplay-wise, I think that weakest story was in the first human book.
I think the orc book had the weaker story, but the better gameplay. Just opinion though.
Reasoning:
While orc books had no interesting missions gameplay-wise, the first human book was literally by-the-book traitor-in-the-midst.
I found chapter 7 and 9, no matter how much of a time consumer and hard they were pretty intresting.
Also literally anything that is simplified to its basics can sound a bit stupid. If the human book is the traitor in the midsts book, then the orc book is brutes acting like their smart just to get outtricked multiple times, never learning and in the end while achieving some success failing book.
orc books had more important relations.
Yeah, i'll have to agree with you here. Same for the undead book.
They, for 1st books had better relation building for reasons you stated above.
The 1st human book missed a few times where it could have built some character bonds.
The orc and undead book pull this off better since the orcs were united, due to facing extinction if they didn't. This made each character closer to one another and even though they may have not liked each other, they had to cooperate and comunicate for the better of the race.
The undead were located in just a medium to big sized mountain, so since they were not that far alway from each other, unlike some humans that were an entire sea away, they got way more oppurtunities. Aridon also sending different undead for different tasks, this bonding them improves the relation development a lot.
Except the Veringar-Largoth case. We don't talk about that one.
It would be nice to actually reveal more of a personal story in the second human book.
Agreed. A character being in a battle or seeing something in a cinematic and that making him tell a bit about his past or revealing a part of him we never knew would be the most efficient way in my opinion.
Yes, we have seen this being used a few times, but one more time won't hurt.
To sum it up, I think that the undead book was the best of them.
Yep, in my opinion it was also the best overall book.
Also come on, a final chapter that you can never lose it? Definetely the best book.
