Romance[]

During the second act, you can romance one of the four recruitable characters. The opportunity is triggered randomly while visiting the campsite. Male players can romance Nefja Holmunardottir, while female player can fall in love with Asleifr Grimvardarson. Female and male player characters can always romance Roskva the Black and Ketill Kolbjarnarson. A romance is started as a random event when you stay at a campsite.

Weapons and armour[]

During the game, you can find several pieces of armour, shields and weapons which have a special effect reserved solely for the player character. These items with a special effect are:

  • Your Shield. Additional 5 percent-points to blocking chance.
  • Ancient Armour. Chance to revive the player character in case he/she is incapacitated.
  • Ancient Helmet. Additional 5 percent-points to mental resistances.

Starting weapons[]

The starting weapons which the thegn of Skjern picks up from the weapon rack during The Feast, depend on the skills chosen during character generation. You will always gain three items from the rack before you enter your first fight.
