I like that you aren’t told overtly of details like how Bregan D'aerthe is the true power of the city and that the Arcane Brotherhood is still very influential despite their base of operations having been blown up a century prior. Your companions will banter and NPCs will act accordingly with regards to their environment.

I have to admit that I give SCL a ton of kudos for daring to refer to Drizzt in non-serious terms, first through a woman whose words imply that the writing of the books is rather bad and then through the mouth of a drunkard who’s trying to swindle you. Companion quests open up fairly early on and reveal more about the state of the world while rewarding you with powerful equipment and development of the characters.Īs my included screenshots demonstrate, there’s no doubt which world you’re in, as references to its most iconic drow character begin with one of your first quests. Elements that we’ve only suspected from source material and novels are confirmed as you help the troubled residents of the once-great city. There hasn’t been any realms-shaking lore bits yet, but I’ve been very pleased by how immersive the game feels. I haven’t gotten a chance to get very far in the game, but almost immediately, I find myself in the heart of legendary Luskan herself. Those who pre-ordered also have access to the Rage of Demons DLC when it comes out, but it looks like it’ll be a separate purchase for those that didn’t pre-order. In the basic campaign of SCL, you are a member of the adventuring company, the Burning Dawn, and your road leads you to eventually uncover how you fit into the prelude of the calamity befalling Faerûn. However, it’s also the case that the game is set in a very much 5th ed version of FR, one that’s concurrent with the Rage of Demons story. It’s true that SCL isn’t a direct adaptation of 5th ed D&D rules. Common complaints include that the game isn’t 5th edition D&D as promised, that the spells and abilities are governed by seemingly abstractly determined cooldown times rather than D&D rules, that the skill trees are too simplified to be D&D and that character creation is too limited. Each of these has validity of their own, but how much they’d impact an individual player would have to be left to individual discretion. I stuck with SCL because of my deep love for the Forgotten Realms, and while I’m quite happy with the campaign, I find myself surrounded by criticisms of an entirely different sort. However, it was difficult to differentiate between what problem was attributable to which cause, so many pre-orderers backed out without having actually experienced the story mode of the game.

There were many issues with those options, from either buggy code or problems created inadvertently by the creators of the modules. The prior head start weekends only made available the dungeon master tools, dungeon crawl mode and player-made modules. However, my feelings of dread were completely dispelled once I started playing the campaign. Those issues included nearly unplayable lag in the multiplayer modes and really wonky enemy NPC behavior. I felt a great deal of trepidation going in to the final head start weekend, which was this past weekend, because there were still many unresolved issues in the previous head start weekend. I’ve been participating in all of the head start weekends that I had access to from pre-ordering.

[[ Sword Coast Legends was recently officially released.
