I bet it's Odin checking up on his warriors...

So, I played this for a while. It's Viking Minecraft. Finally figured out a starter house. Had to look up how to build a damn fire, LOL. Then how to build a chimney so the rain didn't put it out. Had some pretty comic deaths. Found a skeleton castle with stairs that were glitched so I couldn't get upstairs to the chest. Running out of stamina while fleeing enemies is frustrating as hell. The forest areas seemed way congested with stuff sometimes though so you couldn't see where you're going while running around. Clearly has some physics issues that could be improved. Considering I've seen like 0.0001% of the map, I'm intrigued...

You can jump up if stairs are missing. Every thing you do increases your ability to do things. There are a lot of tutorials on youtube about doing things if you need help.

I'm loving this game. Graphics aren't the greatest but there not supposed to be. Watch out for death mosquitos and wolves and Goblins. Their instant death until you build up the ability to fight them off.

ive progressed as far as the game allows. Now we are just fleshing out our base for fun. Pretty cool game with lots of potential AND mod potential. Thats gonna be the endgame for this. Big, fat, juicy, mods.

I surely hope so, does it have workshop? I know it's early but I haven't seen any mods for it. Modded games are always the most fun to me and I can't wait for that to become reality in this.

*doesn't have workshop yet hopefully in the future.
[Reply]

it does not have workshop, and they have said recently they will not be 'officially' supporting mods.

100% promise that dont matter one bit and there are gonna be tons of mods for this game, ala minecraft. Minecraft technically does not support mods yet there are ten thousand mods out there for it. Gonna be the same way.
[Reply]

Right I did see a few mods for it but they seem to have a chance at messing up your savegame on updates. I'm going to hold off for now until it's more stable.
[Reply]

As far as the game allows right now. My understanding is that there will be more biomes introduced in the future. And my interpretation of that is that more biomes equals more forsaken and more crafting progression.

I'm kind of going the opposite route as you. I'm building this massive base, but have so far only killed the initial forsaken.
[Reply]

Wait... so does this Early Access "Version" limit your progress?
[Reply]

im pretty sure he means they have just done all the content that it has to offer.
[Reply]

Nope,

there is just a finite amount of progression at the moment, which depending on how you play I would say most people are going to get somewhere between 60-150 hours out of it unless they really get into building, and then it can go infinitely. Plus you can still help friends, make new characters, challenge yourself, roleplay, etc.

and mods are starting to come out of the woodwork

I thought about it for a while because I like games like 7 Days to Die. Just watched some friends play for a long while but it left me feeling like it's too much MMO, crossed bits of Life is Feudal and Rust. Meh. Probably will not get.
