Let me know if it's any good
The male faces looks fine.
The female ones for some reason seem to be between porn and derp.
Looks butt-ugly. Dunno why I thought it might be otherwise. Also, opposed to blade of destiny, I don't see many reasons that justify a Star Trail remake. I pass on this one.
While the pixel art may be beautiful, orientation in the 1st person view is just a bitch in BoD. I prefer the seamless movement in ST's low-poly cities any day.
Early Access is available now:
What mods are available for this? ModDB has nothing. Do you recommend anything in particular?
Aaand it looks like char models are the same.
I took a gander at the mods listed on schicksalsklinge.com, and the vast majority add flavor text, change the rule system to be more like DSA4 (*shudder*), or do pointless stuff like shortening the opening times for stores. The only ones that look like genuine fixes are Magica Classica to get back the ROA1 magic system, schickre2dossound to use the voices from the original ROA2 for spell incantations, and Silent DSA to shut up the narrator. Starke Gegner might be interesting as a kind of Stratagems light, but I'm not sure that it would actually make the battles more fun rather than more tedious. So unless I missed some really important mod, this reminds me of Elder Scrolls modding: tons of fixes to minor things, but in the end you're still stuck with the sub-par base game.Plus the game is really mod-friendly and with the mods available it becomes a superior version of the original game.

Hello there!
We are about to release Realms of Arkania: Star Trail tomorrow and we thought you might want to add this to your news. We were in Early Access for more than half a year and are now rather fond of what we achieved together with our community.
After the desaster that was the release of Blade of Destiny, we worked hard to redeem ourselves and make BoD the game it was meant to be, and we did it. Now, with Star Trail we included our dearest fans from the start and gave a lot of people the chance to get involved - and boy did they get involved! More than 650 Bug Threads, more than 400 Feature Requests (more than a hundred of them implemented), lots of modding already done and available in Steam Workshop - Star Trail has become an actually good game .
So, if you need anything else in terms of information, support or just want to let me know that you wrote something about us, I'd be happy to help you out!
kind regards
Christian
