Update #103: Update 103: The White March - Part II Release


Recommended Posts

Update by Brandon Adler, Lead Producer

 

Hey, everybody. We have a small update with a big announcement today. We are also going to do a spotlight on two of our new creatures from The White March - Part II.

 

Be on the lookout for our next update where we will feature our new companion.

 

The White March - Part II Early Next Year

 

We have some great news for all of you fans that have been waiting for the second part of The White March expansion. You can finish your journey through The White March with the second part of the expansion in late January 2016. Once an exact release date is decided on we will announce it in an update for you guys.

 

Vithrack Brutes and Luminaries

 

In the second part of the expansion we are introducing a larger slice of vithrack culture. Players will encounter brutes and luminaries, two distinct classes of vithrack. While brutes build and feed the colony, luminaries are its scholars and historians. Both varieties can be formidable foes for adventurers who encroach upon their territory.

Brilliant work on the new Vithrack!

Enlisted? Is the bulk of the Dyrwooden army composed of volunteers and/or a professional force as opposed to a feudal levy?

Vithrack. Very dangerous. You go first.

 

Vithrack. Why'd it have to be vithrack?

 

 

Heh. I'm not very fond of those suckers....

For Eothas' sake, Obsidian, please create a scroll of protection against treachery !

 

Or finally make the fix to enable removing domination and charm with suppress afflication and liberating exhortations !

Maybe I'm missing the joke, but they've already stated that the expansion is coming in January (in that very same update they opened this thread for, in fact)?
Yup I know, I'm just winding them up a bit :) Besides the devs probably don't have anything better to do. I'm sure they are just sitting around the offices playing solitaire. Edited by rheingold

Dude, don't you know what happened last time Obsidian rushed to get a product out in time for Christmas?

 

...Why is everyone looking at me like that? What, too soon?
