Through your journey into Dead In Vinland, you will have 14 playable characters to choose from. They’re not just generic protagonists, each has his own backstory, some secrets to discover and special dialogs chain with other inhabitants of the camp.
You start the game with only 4 of them, a viking family exiled by force from their homeland. These are what you could call your main characters, on a system point of view. These characters are super important. If you lose one of them, the other ones lose faith and the group is torn apart, meaning instant game over.
It will lead to many critical decisions, where the well-being of the family can lead to hard, “bad” decisions for the group, and vice-versa. Think of it like a cooperative board game, where some players have a special agenda of their own.
You’ll need to know all about those 4 characters because this is their story after all! So let’s introduce them:
Now that you know them a little more, you’ll need to take into consideration their personality, strengths / weaknesses, & their relationships to each other to try your best and survive on this uncharted island. Later, we’ll do a focus on the recruitable characters that aren’t introduced here.You won't have to keep them alive through the whole game but they but will greatly increase your chances of survival with their specific abilities & knowledge.
