We hope you enjoy them.Īlong with the variety of adding new races, classes, talents, and monsters, combat has been given some attention as well. The community certainly wanted more of this and while we are not able to spend millions on cinematics every turn, we did increase this experience quite a bit and throughout the game. All of this was delivered in hand drawn, hand animated cinematic events. Clans were battling for control of Strand, the varl were on the move, and Rook and Alette being pursued by beings they thought of myth and legend. The beginning of Banner Saga introduced you all to a world that was in trouble. From an entire new race of Horseborn, powerful bears, creepy skulkers, new humans, new clans, and new bosses, you will get to experience a lot more in battle, encounters and while traveling the dangerous roads. Finally as you increase in experience your hero can now have two classes that give you additional special attacks during battleĪdding variety to the world was always our plan, however after listening to our community we increased our plan.

However, having some powerful heroes with upgraded Talents can turn the tide of some of the tougher battles. As you find new heroes that join your clan you will have to balance how you spend Renown even more given all of its uses. Heroes can now reach level 10, instead of their level 5 cap from Banner Saga. However be aware that once you chose a path, there is no going back. Each new level, for a total of three levels, brings more benefit.

These talents take Renown points to level it up.

Do not buy supplies and do not worry about your morale or people starving. Only rank your characters up to Rank 2 then focus on getting everyone's kill counts from 25 to 30 to prepare them for Rank 10 in TBS2. During this playthrough, pick a few specific characters to focus on (I went with Mogr, Gunnulf, Iver, Egil, Rook, Alette, Oddleif and Truggvi). For importing a save you also get the level 6 item, Tome of X, as soon as you start the game. When you do, pick up every item you can, fight every battle including the extra fights in wars, and stock up on renown. Because of all this, it is highly recommended to go through The Banner Saga one last time on Easy. When you do this, it carries over all decisions (who died both through the story and at the end of the game) as well as your supplies, items and renown. If you have played The Banner Saga 1, then you will be given the opportunity to import your save.
