With my upload speed preventing me from doing a video LP and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic flat out not working on Windows 7 x64, I present to you another shot at an LP: King's Bounty: The Legend.

The King's Bounty series, from what my research tells me, was the originator of the strategy mechanics made far more famous by the Heroes of Might & Magic series. Unlike HoMM, however, it focuses more on role-play with strategic combat. This is not the original King's Bounty, but rather a more recent reboot of the series. It is semi-blind in the sense that I played about 1 to 2 hours of it. I'll be playing it on medium difficulty (mostly due to the blind factor, since I don't feel confident enough to try my luck at the harder ones).

However, an LP ain't much without audience participation so you get to make some decisions. From what I've played, every now and then a quest can present you with a choice, even if that choice boils down to diplomacy vs combat. In those cases, you get to choose which I take. In case of a tie, I'll flip a coin or roll a die as appropriate. Furthermore, you also get to choose the starting class and name of our brave hero (I reserve the right to choose a crest, which will be the Space Rangers one you can see on the screenshots below). When it comes to builds, I'll accept suggestions, but it's ultimately up to me. So, without any further boring details, have a look at what our brave and certainly most noble hero can be.

Spoiler: Warrior (click to show/hide)

Pretty straightfoward, from my experience. Focuses on leading armies and gets nearly no abilities, at least at the start.

Spoiler: Paladin (click to show/hide)

I haven't tried this one out, so no idea on how he plays out.

Spoiler: Mage (click to show/hide)

He appears to be the warrior's opposite. If we go with this class battles will be less about making huge stacks and more about using spells at the right time.

reserved just in case

Murtun Lothor the Paladin!

Paladín,Pal.

[miauw62]

Mage called Maggie.

[Margrave]

A warrior called Roirraw.

Oh, wow, those certainly are pretty, pretty boys.  The game people certainly seem to be trying to draw in those who are attracted to men.

On a completely unrelated note...do they have any female characters?

Only in the sequel, where it's all female. I'll probably do that one when I'm done with this, but that'll take a while. By the looks of it, Paladin won by a small margin. As amusing as Pal the Paladin would be, I'll go with Murtun Lothor the Paladin. First update will probably be in a few hours, depending on how long it takes to do the writing.

Nice, Murtun Lothor rides against the Catlics once again

[Neonivek]

Sadly... I think tier wise it goes: Warrior > Mage > Paladin

Mage though is a VERY conditional better... Mage is the worst one until very far into the game. Which can mean Paladin is better anyway because the game is about dwindling resources.

Warrior is even better in its sequel.

[Teneb]

Internet's been bad, so no update until I manage to fix that or it fixes itself. Aside from that, I got everything else ready.

Neonivek has a point, I think, from what little I tried of each. Still, the people have spoken and paladin it is.

We're Bay12.  We'd win with a chicken and a wooden sword.  For the Dwarven Kingdom!  Smite the Heretic Elves!

You are closer to the mark than you'd think. You'll see eventually.

This had to be a short one since I'm still editing the other images. Still, have some introductory backstory.

Spoiler: Stay a while, and listen... (click to show/hide)

So let's make sure we got everything straight: Prince Carl the scientist abdicated in favour or his younger brother, which apparently never happened before in this kingdom. King Mark then became known as King Mark the Wise for vague and unspecified deeds.

King Mark the Impotent, despite all magical and scientific efforts to fix that, can't seem to have a child. Note no queen is ever mentioned. Maybe that's the problem. Unless mage guy there is the King's consort, in which case it raises some strange questions as to how exactly the king thought to impregnate him. Eventually the gods got tired of all that nonsense and just sent him a baby. Although that baby looks more like some baby-faced larva monster than anything else.


Like this. Just, with less blood.

Disgusted with the monster child of King Mark the Many-Titled, as well as his woeful disrespect for their demands of tree-felling limit quota, the elves cut off all contact. Then apparently dwarves and pirates and dwarven pirates went to war with unspecified allies. As if that wasn't enough, the dead refused to stay dead. The king ordered the guards to deal with them, which caused an increase in the number of outlaws. Mages then started complaining about magical disasters, like storms and earthquakes, which we all know are caused by the supernatural and not silly things like tectonic plates and such other myths.

But with adversity comes the opportunity for... enterprising citizens to acquire wealth through legally grey methods such as the murdering of bandits and plundering of unguarded treasure chests. And Iron Richard's Iron Academy of Iron Knights has provided us with the training and skills we need. Onwards then, to wait for the next update!
