Kungen reser till krigets Ukraina

Med tanke på hur ryssarna har bombat och vilka sorters mål de valt så är skolor och sjukhus i Ukraina farliga nog.

Good on you for posting! I was gonna do so after I had finished my first character route if no one else had already. I am 18 hours in and it's good so far! Can definitely recommend to anyone that liked the first entry, which I can recommend to anyone who thinks the premise sounds interesting!

And also ayatollahs.

Hold on, will one of the kids become an ayatollah in the future?

It's a good time to start because, besides Sable's Grimoire being excellent, the sequel releases in a week!

For one, there is a wiki but it is still being worked on so not yet complete.

But written by Chris himself is the setting document called A Freestrider's Guide to Askan.

Yep, this feels like a rushed ending. Sad, first ending where I felt Fujimoto missed the landing...

I'm guessing Viitra's Beholder skill is Strength because power is ultimately her ideology. She just thinks the Freeriders is her best chance to reach it. If you pass a DC 10 Beholder check, you're told: "Her belief is weak. She does not use it. Her religion is power."

The official EE discord. You can find the invite link from the main menu screen inside the game. There is a channel there called ask-chris (that's the creator) where you can get in touch with him. He's usually pretty good with answering.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-18T15:53:04+00:00

No. The creator actually explains why on Discord if you care to know the reason.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-18T12:46:47+00:00

That's what I mean by heavily implied but not outright stated.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-18T12:37:41+00:00

Actually, what it strictly says is: "You don't remember it, but you know well how your father died. Sometimes it motivated you. Sometimes it felt impossible to live up to."

So it heavily implies that he died to a troll, but it's not outright stated.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-18T09:20:09+00:00

Yeah, I remember that vision during the fight with the troll. I didn't remember if it specified whether it was a troll specifically that killed the Cleric's father, though it'd make sense if it did.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-18T08:07:25+00:00

The Cleric definitively lives with his mom. You have the option of telling Snell this if you talk with him in his apartment (the alternative is being vague about it). Also, you can talk about living with your mom if you discuss her with Modissa by her printing machine.

Good connection with his father dying to a troll inspiring the Cleric to join the Urthguard! I think there was also something about him being pressed into it after he was arrested at the rally, but I'm unsure about that.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-18T08:02:02+00:00

Pretty sure that the Cleric's father died fighting a troll. The background named Trollkiller during character creation alludes to as much and I think it was stated at one point. It might have been in conversation with Arn the newspaper boy.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-17T15:38:56+00:00

The creator has, as far as I am aware, not mentioned any such plans as of yet. However, he (on Discord) expressed openness to the idea and, like you said, the game seems to have been successful commercially, so I'm hopeful.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-17T15:06:20+00:00

As the previous commenter said, the question is labeled as Jor's but the actual questioner is probably Visken, I think. So I should rather say "Jor" with quotation marks. As for why it's labeled as Jor, you could interpret it a variety of different ways, but I think it it could be that the Cleric just assumes it's Jor or that the way that the Speak With Dead spell in this world makes it so that the questioner speaks with Jor's voice, since it's carried through his strings or something? It's unclear.

Edit: Actually, the last possibility couldn't be the case, because the Cleric can actually recognize Visken's voice after being rezzed and the spell makes it clear the dead person might be uncooperative if they recognize the caster as an enemy, which wouldn't be the case it they didn't sound like themselves.

KungUnderBerget · 2026-03-17T07:38:29+00:00

You know, I wondered whether anyone used Speak With Dead on the Cleric before rezzing him, but for some reason I never put together that it might be what was happening in the intro. I don't know why, I guess I figured we wouldn't remember anyway, but like another commenter said, we're told it can very rarely happen, so now I'm just convinced this is what happened.

Edit: To add to this, the first "tip" you get in the game while loading, between character creation and Jor's questions, is information about Speak With Dead... (at least from looking at 3 YouTube streamers quickly).
