Recap of areas and description?

[Mazisky]

So, we have the

 

2 big cities:

Defiance bay = colonial, modern architecture and lot of buildings, docks.

 

Twin Elms = wilder, nature architecture (bit elf-style\viking), in the middle of the forest

 

 

The villages

 

Dyford: classic small village with couple of houses

 

Gilded Vale: medium sized village with more houses and brown tones

 

 

The Stronghold

 

Large area with the main keep and megadungeon on lower levels, a secondary manor (for resting and other stuff) plus little houses nearby, maybe shops for when upgraded

 

 

Raedric's Hold

 

Isolated Gothic Castle, heavily guarded
 

 

Do you remember any others??

 

 

Btw, areas look gorgeus, can't wait for exploring them, maybe in the middle of the night (and yeah, i LOVE cricket sounds)

Yes I remember all of the areas. I won't talk about anything not in the beta or seen in a stream/vid/screeny though.

The prologue stuff is called Cilant Lis. 

We've also heard of a place called Cliaban Ruillag, and Aslaug's Compass (used to be called Anslog's Compass).

The former is an Engwithan Ruin, the latter is a coastal area that has a Sundial or something.

[Mazisky]

Was the prologue the one in which there was a sort of night camp with fire and many tents?
 

Or it was just dark indoor instead of night outdoor?

The Wiki has some area info, but I think it could be extended by now. I guess its kind of interesting to try to pinpoint the features and themes of the areas.

I'm pretty sure Josh has mentioned that you go to Durgan's Battery, which is an old dwarven fortress for making animats (golems).  ((I think it's that, it could be where that special dwarf steel is made)).

I would be very surprised if Durgan's Battery made it into the final game.

[Sensuki]

Durgan's Battery is not in the final game, and the animat factory is not at Durgan's Battery.

I wanna know if there is another village or somewhat populated not-wilderness area beaside Dyford village\Gilded vale and Defiance bay\Twin elms

I take it a step further and assume (despite evidence to the contrary) that's what Sensuki looks like IRL

[h3st]

Aslaug's Compass (used to be called Anslog's Compass).

Nice, I know someone named Aslaug. I could probably use her for a tour guide!

[DruidX]

how far are the big cities from one another?

[Mazisky]

Neither far or nor close (it's that the proper english form? sry if not)

 

The first one is on the center of the map, the other is on the bottom right.

[Lephys]

The proper would be "neither far nor close," just in case you really wanted to know. "Nor" takes the place of "or" to carry on the whole "not" idea that "neither" starts. "neither... or..." pretty much means the same thing, but it's not "proper," I guess 'cause the words don't have matching "n"s in that case? *shrug*

 

No worries on that, though.
