Hey there Smallfolk!
Back at it with some more answers to your questions for FAQ Friday #9!
Here we go...
Can you say anything about "tiers of resources"?
Yeah, that's an in-game term we use, but to explain it… the player has complete freedom of the world, so if you can fight, sneak, glide, fly, jump or however you want to get past the various dangers, you can. So you can get into areas that you are not prepared for.
Some of these Creatures roaming in certain areas are bigger and deadlier because of their size, others carry venoms that can kill you quickly if you are not prepared. The more deadly the area though, the better the resources, so you could do a lot of grinding in a relatively safe area and have the freedom to build and craft what you like. Or, you could be a little more adventurous as the rewards match the dangers, you find a better quality of resources in these more dangerous/higher tier areas which saves you a lot of time. Entirely up to you, as you have the freedom and your progression is non-linear, it's your choice (and how brave you are feeling).
Will there be multiple different types of weapons such as spears, daggers and maces like Conan or will it just be swords and bows
We have a range of different weapons that have different classes, and each class has a particular style. For instance, we have Swords which are good all-rounders and Hammers are not ideal against multiple enemies and swarms but are great at delivering a big hit on a creature that outweighs the Smallfolk.
Then there are different types of Bow that suit different purposes, or should I say Creature attacks.
Is every creature faction going to have its own armour or are only some going to have armour and others have weapons and other items?
No, not every creature has its own armour, but also there are Pathfinders that give you valuable knowledge, if you can find them, that also provide Quests and armours. Some Pathfinders allow you to form an alliance with a Creature and then you can learn about its behaviour and how it survives, and how that can benefit the Smallfolk. Some give you armour or armours, some give weapons, some give both.
As always, we love the questions and look forward to reading more of them!
